It was Friday and her ex was just starting his weekend of work. As they always did when his shift work put him on days, they chit-chatted throughout the day. Problems with one of the products at work forced her to stay later than usual and it was coincidence that had her leaving at the same time he was. When he asked "Want to join me for dinner out?", she didn't hesitate and agreed.
They went to a local pub and had a good dinner, talking about people at work and family. They were just finishing their meal when two co-workers walked in. They went directly to the bar and got some beers and then, seeing Sylvia and Carl, both Tom and Brandon made their way over and slid in to their booth.
After greetings were exchanged, Brandon asked "I thought you too had split up a few years ago."
Carl said "Just because we no longer live together doesn't mean we can't still be friends."
Brandon continued "Friends... with benefits?"
Carl just shook his head.
They made small talk for a while and then Brandon asked Carl "You got a girlfriend?"
Again, Carl shook his head.
Brandon turned to Sylvia "How about you, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"So why don't you two get back together?"
Carl answered again "Because we've realized that we make better friends than roommates. Why the heck are you so interested all of a sudden?"
Brandon shrugged "Just wondering."
They continued talking for a while and then, Brandon turned to Sylvia "If you don't have a boyfriend, how would you like to have a boy toy for a while?"
Sylvia didn't have to think long: "No thanks."
"Just like that? You barely considered it!"
"Brandon, I'm old enough to be your mother. There's nothing to consider."
Tom piped up "I'm older, would you consider me?"
Sylvia shook her head "No thanks."
"Surely, you could use a little TLC, couldn't you? Brandon and I could play nice with you and take care of some of your needs."
"Why is it that it's more your own needs you're trying to take care of, not really mine? No thanks."
"You're wrong. We both really enjoy pleasuring women. Think about it, you could have both of us taking care of your every whim and satisfying you in ways that nobody else ever has."
"No thanks, not interested in a threesome."
"Really? I heard that it's every woman's dream to have two guys pleasuring her. Come on, you can't say you've never thought of it."
"No thanks, Brandon."
Seeing Sylvia get uncomfortable with the conversation, Carl asked "Don't you two have girlfriends?"
Brandon answered "We both got dumped about a month ago. But hey, Carl, if you don't want Sylvia, you don't mind if we play with her a bit, do you?"
"I wouldn't mind if she wanted it but it seems she's not all that interested."
Sylvia asked "Can we change the subject? 'Cause if this is your only subject, I will call it a night."
They changed the subject and talked about all kinds of things. Eventually, they asked each other about their weekend plans. Of course, Carl had to work the weekend. Tom and Brandon had one more day to work and then had four days off. The two of them were really surprised when Sylvia said that she was going to attend church on the Sunday. They talked some more and eventually, Carl said that it was late enough for him and they all got up to leave. As they made their way to their vehicles, the two guys asked Sylvia "You sure you don't want company tomorrow evening? We promise to be real good."
Sylvia shook her head and waved goodbye as she went to her car.
On the Saturday late afternoon, Sylvia got a phone call from work. It was Brandon, trying to get her to go party with him and Tom. Sylvia politely but firmly declined.
The next day, Sylvia got dressed up as she usually did on Sundays. She put on a dress and high heels. She went to church and sat with an older lady as she usually did. They chatted while they waited for the service to begin. All of a sudden, Sylvia felt someone sliding in next to her and turned around. Here were Tom and Brandon, all dressed up and sitting next to her.
"What are you two doing here?"
"We thought we'd show you how good we can be when we want to."
"You're unbelievable. You two better behave."
They did. Then, they followed her to the grocery store. Sylvia was getting annoyed but then figured that they would head home with their groceries. She headed home herself. She was putting her groceries away when she heard the doorbell. Not impressed that someone was at her door at lunch time, she went down to the door in her townhouse. She opened the door and found herself face to face with Brandon. Tom was right behind him.
