Charity and Chad had been friends for a very long time. Never anything intimate not even the slightest tint of sexual interest on either of their parts. They had met while attending college and always seemed to look upon each other for support and friendship and nothing more.
Although that was the way it seemed to them both something darker had been lurking in Chad’s mind for a while now. He would wake up in the middle of the night sweating and erect and his dreams of her fresh on his mind. He wasn’t sure when it had happened but, at some point and time the change had come. Maybe it was the way she was a little cocktease and never knew it. Or perhaps the way that she just exuded sexual desires with the toss of her hair or her little girl laugh. Either way he knew he wouldn’t be capable of turning away from his desires much longer. He had to find a way to get to her and make her feel the same for him.
A few weeks after this all occurred to him, they had a dinner date set up. Just supposed to go out and have dinner chat a little and see a movie. It was always the same, he would look at her now across the table and see the twinkle in her eye, regardless of whether she knew it was there or not. The way she would lean next to him during scary parts of a movie, or rest her head on his shoulder and just feel comforted knowing that he was there for her.
This night was supposed to be no different. They were going to dinner and to catch a movie, some offbeat romance story, it had been her turn to pick. When he picked her up that night, Chad had felt the stirring in his loins. Now he was desperate to make his advances but couldn’t find the right way to word anything and feel her out. He often found himself starting a sentence to ask her if there was perhaps more than friendship but he wouldn’t be able to get past the first few words before his nerves would shake him out of his train of thought.
As Charity stood up to go powder her nose Chad noticed the soft swell of her bottom beneath her skirt. The way the muscles in her legs slowly flexed with each step. His eyes drank in her beauty and as she walked away he couldn’t turn his attention from her form. She was a few inches taller than him in normal shoes but in her heels she had at least four or five on him. They had always joked about this, because they had to wonder what other people thought when they were out together.
Charity returned to the table, her hazel eyes sparkling under the light from the chandeliers. It amazed him she couldn’t sense his deeper feelings or perhaps she did and just didn’t feel the same or had the same fears. He did have one trump card though. He knew of her darker fantasies, he had found them in a little online journal she wrote in and had dismissed it completely until now. Maybe he could use that to his advantage, he thought.
“So, Chad, are you ready to go see a movie now or are we just going to sit here all evening.”
“Oh I was thinking of just sitting here all evening and watching the wait staff clean up, smart ass.”
Chad paid the bill and they headed out to the car, as they walked he slipped an arm around her to feel her out, but this wasn’t unusual for them she had always liked the way he was protective of her and not afraid to touch her body. It was more just a friendly arm to her but it was still nice to be shown that affection.
At the movie theater they sat there sharing the popcorn and candy and watched intently as the scenes played out on the screen. Chad couldn’t focus on the movie though, he kept catching whiffs of her perfume and shampoo and the way the swell of her bosom pressed against his arm. It was truly the longest movie he could ever remember watching or perhaps seemed that way because his thoughts lingered on what Charity would feel like pressed against him without a shed of fabric on her body.
A few hours later they were on their way to her apartment. “Chad, would you like to come in for a little while and just watch some tv?”
“Well I have nothing planned for tomorrow so I suppose I could,” he teased, acting like it was the worst thing in the world to be asked.
“I just have been feeling a little lonely lately and would like some company. Besides you know if you went straight home I would have ended up calling you to talk anyway until the wee hours of the morning.”
“Yes, that has happened a lot lately and since your off for the summer you seem to never go to bed like you should.”
“I know,” Charity replied, “I just get so into that online talking and everything that I lose track of time.”
Pulling into her complex Chad figured he would make his move sometime tonight and see just where this could go. He had no intentions of anything more than a few lingering kisses and gropes but if she was willing he would go to the ends of his means to please her.
Charity sat there wondering what had changed about her friend in the last few weeks. He always seemed on the verge of asking or telling her something but never could get over that initial opening sentence. She had strangely been feeling more taken with him as of late, she tended to like his darker side, the side she knew he rarely allowed others to see. She didn’t know if he was just ashamed of something he had done or if his thoughts were just running so rampant that he couldn’t find a way to talk to her about them. But she did know that had they not been so close of friends she would have been bedded by him long ago. But that was her own little thoughts and she would never allow anything to happen to break up their friendship or trespass on other areas they had no business going to.
Once inside the apartment Charity walked through the kitchen and got them some wine to drink and returned to find Chad on the couch. He was sitting there channel surfing as she sat down next to him.. Unaware that her skirt had slid just a little too high on her thighs she reclined and sipped her wine oblivious to his leering gaze.
Chad’s eyes immediately darted to the little skirt as it rode up Charity’s thighs. Just an inch or two more and he may have been given a glimpse of her panties. This is what drove him insane, she was a cocktease and didn’t even know it sometimes. Her skirt riding up was the final straw.
“Charity, I think I’m to tired to stay tonight,” Chad said hoping that this would give him a chance to reign in his lust filled thoughts and intentions.
“No, I want you to stay just a little longer. I’ll even sit through wrestling with you if you can find it somewhere,” she consented.
“No it would be better if I leave. It’s not that far of a drive but with the wine and everything I don’t want to take any chances.”
She gave an audible little sigh and turned to face him and try and beg just a little time with him, she didn’t know why she just didn’t want him to leave. “I wish you would stay just a little longer.”
“I’m sorry I can’t,” was all Chad had to reply as he stood up and started to walk to the door. Images of her body and the hem where her short skirt had been streamed through his mind but he had to make it out that door before he did something they both regretted later.
