Author's disclaimers
First off, please do not read more into the title than the above two words provide. While they may have had a coercive influence on the writing of this piece, this "person" has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the story below. The misleading title is merely a grudgingly offered dedication… of sorts.
Secondly, thanks to Mr. Gates for making this a much smaller, more closely linked world we all now attempt to peacefully coexist within, all names and certain details (both back then and in the present, which might assist someone {who's business it isn't} in narrowing down this incident to when, where and between whom) have been altered to cover for the non-innocent.
And thirdly, having not actually been there at the time this took place; I can only approximate the words, thoughts, reactions and motivations of those involved. You see, this "incident" was relayed to me by the third party in what happened that night, roughly a year after it went down… while basking in the blissful afterglow of a dark and stormy and intensely intimate night. Which is another story entirely and is not open for discussion, thank you.
Now, here goes.
To begin with, I think brief descriptions of two of the people involved would be in order. Chris (party of the first part) was 5' 10" (tall for a girl) and at the time I'd guess she weighed in right around 165 pounds. She had straight shoulder-length brunette hair, dark eyes, lush full lips and a nose that had been broken several times. Chris's volatile temperament had contributed to this nasal rearrangement on more than a couple of occasions, one of which I was angrily involved in. You see, I broke it for her. If I remember correctly, it was for the fifth time in her life.
Plain and simple, you don't want your arrogant, intrusive nose broken, then don't go around sticking it within range of my fist.
And yet, Chris was an attractive young woman, whom I normally got along with famously. She was generally good natured, funny as hell, and a lot of fun to hit the bars with… providing she didn't get too deep in the tequila bottle. It was one of two weaknesses that I was aware Chris had.
Wanting nothing more in life than to be a good cop, Chris was a serious-minded criminology major. She was also the captain and center forward on the volleyball team. Which meant that Chris was forced to wear an extremely constrictive sports bra when she played. This was to prevent her from giving herself raccoon eyes when she came down after spiking the ball right into the face of the poor girl stationed across the net from her. You see, Chris possessed the measurements to complement her tanned and extraordinarily healthy frame; 38D-29-36.
Kathy (party of the second part) was the exact opposite of Chris. 5' 6", maybe 120 pounds dripping wet, a fair-skinned, dishwater blonde with pale blue eyes, an inline nose, stingy lips, and unimpressive measurements; 32C-26-28 (damn near boyish, in my opinion) pretty much sums her up, at least physically. A third year Med. student, Kathy was the studiously intelligent type… somewhat of a geek-glassed bookworm, but she could be bright and almost cheery when she wanted to be. Not exactly what I would consider to be a barrel of laughs, but she was tolerable in subdued and civilized surroundings.
Kathy could also be moody and was extremely secretive concerning her personal life. This insistent obsession Kathy had for her personal privacy, I truly believe, was the root cause for what happened on the night in question.
Although physically, as well as being emotional and temperamental complete opposites, Chris and Kathy had been friends in college, not exactly what would be considered bosom buddies and pals, but they were close enough that they could let their hair down with each other. On the evening this "incident" was instigated, they were splitting pizza and a pitcher of beer at a watering hole off campus. As is almost always the case with friends and beer, the banter between them inextricably gravitated to sex.
An aside here, if you please. Men do not have an automatic lock on this particular form of verbal entertainment. You get two or more women together and what passes for polite conversation can quickly sink right into the gutter. Women, once their tongues have been sufficiently loosened (either with enough booze, or in the spirit of "friendly" female competition), will tell relative strangers intimate things about their lives they would never even consider revealing to anyone close to them, especially to another woman who's close to them. I ask you, what woman in her right mind would knowingly provide potential ammunition to a possible competitor?
Guys, on the other hand, even when they're way down in their cups, boasting about (and forever embellishing upon) their past conquests, can be so damned close-mouthed when it comes to sharing intimate details about themselves. Especially with a woman, and never, ever "God forbid!" with another guy. Men can be so fucking aggravating.
Anyway, Kathy told Chris that her boyfriend had been hinting lately that he would like to try a threesome. Kathy said she wasn't too keen on the idea, but that her boyfriend was becoming more and more vocal about it, and she knew that Chris had been involved in a couple a threesomes, and the two of them really did seem to get along rather well, and well…
Eventually, Kathy got around to asking the question Chris already suspected was coming: Would Chris be interested in joining her and her boyfriend in some sexual antics? For just this one time, so her boyfriend's curiosity could be satisfied and then maybe he would get off this destructive kick that, if allowed to continue, couldn't do anything but destroy an otherwise solid relationship.
Now, a couple of things have to brought out about these two young women, otherwise certain unforeseen responses, along with a possible underlying motivation, might get a bit cloudy further on.
Chris knew for a fact that Kathy had been involved in a threesome in her sophomore year and that, sufficiently liquored up one night, she had confessed that it had been the most amazing sexual experience of her life. So, to Chris, her friend's hesitancy to engage in another one with her current boyfriend had been puzzling.
