I saw her looking at me from across the room. She seems to know who I am, but I just can't place her. She's nice looking and I like the way she dresses -- a little conservative, yet still a little glimpse of sex appeal.
She licks the foam off her top lip from her latte and I wonder what flavor she's tasting ... wishing I could taste it too.
I clean up my table and make my way to the door, feeling eyes on me as I pass by. She stops me and tells me we have a mutual friend; one we are both very familiar with . . . one who wants us to be friends.
She doesn't tell me her name, only gives me an address on a sheet of paper and tells me our friend is hoping we spend some time together . . . hoping we can become good friends.
I'm confused and not open to going to a strange location to talk and get to know a stranger. I thank her and wish her a good day.
I walk out of the coffee shop and continue my day of shopping. As the day goes on, I have a funny feeling that someone is watching me, but never see anyone out of the ordinary.
As I approach my car, I see a note on the windshield. A note from a friend asking if I'd like to meet him for drinks later.
Not a bad way to end a pleasant day I'm thinking, so I drive on home to finish some household chores and look forward to some friendly conversation later in the evening.
When I enter the sports bar, I see my friend and sitting with him is the woman from the coffee house. They seem to be pretty comfortable around each other as they talk together at their table.
I cautiously approach and watch him stand as I come close. He explains that the lady is an ex-girlfriend and that he thought we might enjoy getting to know each other, as he feels we have some things in common.
I smile and sit down across the table from them, noticing that they are sitting a little close. Maybe they're not as "ex" as they claim.
We have a couple of drinks while we enjoy a little small talk. We laugh and share some funny stories about our jobs.
About an hour or so into the evening the two of them decide we might be more comfortable listening to music at her place and since it's pretty close to the sports bar, we go there for a little while.
The "ex" has a nice two bedroom condo with a comfy sectional couch in chocolate brown. She tells us to get comfortable while she grabs a couple of sodas from the kitchen.
My friend tells me to relax and give the "ex" a chance, because she doesn't know many people around the city. I agree and try to get to know her. She's a little more outgoing than I am and it takes me a while to warm up.
He goes into the bathroom and the "ex" decides to move over on to my side of the sectional -- closer to me -- I get the feeling it's to give our mutual friend more room on the large couch.
I notice that she uses her hands a lot when she talks and tends to touch the other person when she wants to emphasize a point. Several times she places her hand on my leg or my arm when she's talking. When he returns to the room, she sits back on the couch and is now shoulder to shoulder with me.
He sits down smiling and seems to be enjoying a joke I'm not included in yet. They look at each other and he gives a little shake of his head. That appears to be a sign, because she turns to me and tells me he wants us to be more than acquaintances, but intimate friends.
I'm confused because I'm already his intimate friend. She leans forward as if to place a peck on my cheek, but brushes my lips instead.
I can't believe this! I tense up and push back on the couch. I'm sure my eyes show my shock and I look over at my friend . . . who is watching intently. I start to push myself up from the couch and she places her hands on my shoulders while he tells me to relax and calm down. I feel panic in the pit of my stomach and don't want to be a party to whatever is going on.
Obviously he sees that things aren't going to work out as easily as the two of them had hoped. He comes over and sits on the other side of me; places his hand on my thigh and asks if he can kiss me.
I'm not sure . . . I want to be in control of my personal space and I've never been involved with a woman.
His incredible eyes look into mine and he tells me nothing is going to happen that I don't want to happen.
Then he gently kisses me on the lips . . . once, then twice. He leans back and looks intently into my eyes and quietly asks if I would give him this gift of seeing his two female friends get to know each other – with him watching.
I can't believe this is happening. I don't want to do it. I don't know this person and I don't want someone watching me become involved with a woman. He squeezes my thigh and asks me to trust him.
He knows he can talk me into just about anything when it concerns him . . . I close my eyes and nod my head. "Yes", I say, "I'll try to do this..."
He says, "Good Girl", and moves back over on the other side of the sectional, leans back and gets ready for his show.
Ex kicks her shoes off and pulls her legs up under her. She's wearing a skirt that now, with her new position, reveals no panties. She starts to unbutton her blouse to reveal a pink lace bra – low cut and see thru . . . nipples large and brown. I can't help looking.
She leans forward and touches my lips with her fingertips, asking if she can kiss me. I look over and he nods – "Do it", he says.
