I strolled along the sidewalk window shopping with a smile on my face. Sure I looked ridiculous but what did I care? Ed was mine at last and it elated me to no end knowing that. It’s been a couple of weeks since I seduced him at my apartment which, I might add, was the hottest night of my life. Before I go on about how happy I am let me fill you in on Amy’s reaction when I told her about us.
That following evening after I had invited Ed over for, ahem, a little (cover your innocent eyes) hot, sweaty, multi-orgasmic, pussy tingling, dick throbbing sex (of course he didn’t know what he was getting into beforehand, I’m just sneaky like that) I was still recovering from the night before but I knew I had to have it out with Amy. In case you all have forgotten Amy is my best friend and Ed is her ex and I am Lindsey the gal who stole him after he had just broken up with her a month before. I called Amy up and told her I needed to have a chat with her and could she please come over.
“Well why can’t you ‘chat’ with me over the phone I’m busy today. Not that I don’t want to see you but if this can be taken care of over the phone I’d love you forever.”
“Umm..sweetie this can’t be handled over the phone it’s kind of important. Please pretty please just come over and I promise you will be on your merry way ASAP”, I replied back. I heard her sigh through the phone as if I was inconveniencing her, which I was but what did I care I’m sure she would want to hear what I had to tell her.
“Fine. I’ll be over in an hour. This had better be good!”
I had butterflies in my stomach but they were different this time, these ones weren’t happy. I had to tell my best friend about Ed and I and I didn’t know how I would do it exactly or how she would react. Will we part on good terms or will my ass be kicked before the end of the day? I sat on the couch meditating collecting my good energy (or something like that) until I heard Amy outside the door. She didn’t knock anymore as she was no stranger to my apartment. Heck she lived in the same building so she was over all the time anyway. I was still sitting on the couch in the same position when Amy came in.
“Hey, you better make this quick I have places to go and people to see and stuff”, she said as she threw herself in the chair next to the couch. “Soooo..what’s up, what’s the big news?”
I looked at her a moment before I spoke. She was tall, blonde, green eyes and a body to kill for. Basically every man’s wet dream. I wasn’t exactly scum on the bottom of my shoe I thought of myself as attractive but Amy was prettier and I hated to admit it but I was jealous of that sometimes.
“Well..how can I put this? I’ve had my eye on a guy for quite awhile and last night I invited him over for a movie and such and we ended up in the bedroom the entire night,” I got out.
“Oo la laaa, way to go girlfriend! No wonder you’re absolutely positively radiant today. I want to hear all the sordid details, leave nothing out! Do I know this dude?”
As Amy was saying this she didn’t notice the look on my face. I wasn’t exactly bragging about it like she thought I was. This was going to be harder than I thought.
“It was lovely,” I said. “We didn’t even get through the whole movie.” I smiled at that thinking back on last night and a warm feeling went through me. I was definitely a smitten kitten.
“Anyway, the reason I asked you over here is because I wanted to tell you something and I’m praying this won’t ruin our friendship..it was Ed.”
While I was saying ‘it was Ed’ I kept my eyes closed and I kept them closed for a few seconds after as there was nothing but silence in the air. I cracked open one eye and then the other and looked at Amy. I couldn’t tell if she was mad, upset, disgusted, constipated. For the first time in my life I couldn’t read her face.
“Before you say anything let me explain. Even when you two were together I had always had a crush on him. We would always talk on the phone and in person even when you weren’t around and we formed a great friendship. Eventually somewhere inside I realized that I felt more but I never ever pursued it, please believe that. I know that you two didn’t have the most serious of relationships but I was still always so jealous of you when you talked about him all the time. So last night I finally made up my mind, I didn’t know how you would feel about it but I knew I couldn’t sit back and let him move on to someone else when I had the opportunity to go for it. I’ve come to realize that somewhere between last month and now I’ve fallen for him and I can’t do anything about it, it just happened. Please understand that I don’t want to hurt you, please tell me that you aren’t mad.”
My last words were almost pleading and she could see it in my eyes. I sat on the couch with my legs crossed beneath me and I fidgeted. I was still looking at her and finally, FINALLY, she got up from the chair and paced in front of me for a minute. I knew she was thinking about this trying to take it in, trying to put things into perspective.
I kept watching her until she stopped and turned to me. “Lindsey, I have to admit this is a shocker, I’m trying to absorb this in my brain. We’re talking about the same Ed, right? My ex Ed, brown hair, glasses?” At this I nodded. She continued to pace back and forth for a couple of minutes. Finally she sighed and took her seat again. “I’m not mad, our relationship was doomed from the beginning and I didn’t realize it until after it ended. I mean I know I should be mad just because of the dating-your-best-friend’s-ex rule but I don’t think it was serious enough to categorize it under that. Lindsey, you have my blessing please treat him right, even though I didn’t love him I still kinda like the guy and I care about him.”
I couldn’t believe she was so smooth about it, I was kind of expecting her to slap me and call me a bitch and that she’d never forgive me and then storm out the door forever. I was totally taken aback by her cool manner and how she handled it. It must’ve not been that serious at all. Nonetheless my big secret was out and I was relieved that she was ok with it. I jumped up from the couch and leaped on top of her and hugged her hard. “Thank you thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me. I love you, never stop being my best friend, got it?”
She hugged me back and nodded. This was a great day for me, I finally had my man and my best friend was cool with it.
