The following is true. Only thing changed are names (obviously), and some very minor details that no one but me will know anyway that don't affect the story at all...
Lola & I have been friends for 25 years. Correction, her husband and I have been friends for that long. She was always just sort or in the background. She was nice, but easy to get lost in the shuffle, if that makes sense.
A few years back one of her parents passed. She was taking it pretty hard. I had dealt with the same situation the previous year, so I was asked to chat with her. No thoughts of crossing any sort of boundaries.
Well we start chatting. And chatting. And chatting. It starts to get a little flirty. Nothing big, just things for a laugh.
One afternoon she sends me a message. It was a bit more flirtatious than normal. I respond in kind. I have to leave for work but I'm horny and she's being extra chatty. So I'm heading to work, text to chat the whole way. I don't even recall exactly what I'd said, but it got translated into something like "wanna fuck?" Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that's what it said. I believe it was meant to say, "what the fuck?" But i was driving on the highway and the road noise must have garbled it.
I didn't catch it and it sent.
About 2 minutes later i get a reply.
"I'm listening."
That reply doesn't make sense, so I pick up my phone and see what I'd sent to get that sort of reply.
Holy Shit.
I apologize profusely and say I'm sorry for that message. Her response was, "oh. I thought you were serious. I wouldn't tell."
