After returning home from the funeral, I settled back into my normal routine and did not see my father very often. I held onto the memories of our intimacy and relished our relationship....and was looking forward to finding ways to spend more time with Dad!
In the meantime, Bonnie (a co-worker of mine) and I continued to party together on the weekends. Since neither of us were married and had no children, we didn't have the typical constraints that women our age had...and we took advantage of that. Bonnie and I had been partying together for some 15 years and in addition to being close friends, we were lovers.
One wintry Friday night, Bonnie suggested that we rent some movies and stay in at her place instead of visiting the bar scene. I agreed that it would be a nice change of pace...but I was also anticipating slipping under the warm covers with her...both of us buck naked, of course! We agreed to meet at her place at 8:00 to eat and watch the movies. I brought some Chinese food and she provided the wine and we settled down on the couch next to each other.
After finishing the food, we pulled a comforter over us and snuggled closer - our legs resting against each other and holding hands while we watched the "boob tube". Neither of us was feeling particularly horny at the time - just cuddling, sipping on wine, and relaxing together. Her body felt soft and warm next to mine and I really enjoyed the closeness of our relationship. We understood each other quite well and after all those years, still got along remarkably well.
After watching two movies it was getting rather late, but we weren't really sleepy so we decided to stay up for a while. Bonnie disappeared into her bedroom for a few minutes, but at the time, I didn't think anything of it - little did I know what she had in store for me.
