I awoke feeling refreshed and excited. Of course part of my energy was from my early bedtime the evening before. Sierra and I had gone to bed right after our dinner and bath time together, which couldn't have been much later than 9:30. But mostly it was because my mind was abuzz with all of the possible scenarios Sierra might have planned out for us to engage in throughout the week. With her in charge, they could be anything... Well, almost anything. We did have a budget to think about so we couldn't do anything too crazy. Could we?
Shaking my head to let other thoughts in - there'd be plenty of time for daydreaming later - I clambered out of my empty bed and made my way to the bathroom. This time I was aware enough to check the occupancy status before barging in and making a fool of myself - again. Finding it empty, I walked in and started my morning routine. I did notice that the shower had been used recently. Apparently Claire had been more embarrassed than she had let on yesterday morning and had made sure to shower earlier.
Just before I got into the shower, a knock came from the bathroom door and I heard Claire's voice. "Hey, I'm making some scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, do you want any?"
"Uh, yeah sure!" I shouted back. "I'll be out in a few minutes. Thanks!"
"Don't worry about it, you'll just owe me something later!" she said, and I could practically feel her smirk through the door. With another part of my day to look forward to, it didn't take me long to shower and get dressed. A few minutes later I went to meet Claire for breakfast.
"Breakfast smells good, but I hope you haven't burned anything," I said as soon as I'd stepped into the kitchen. I pulled out two glasses and began pouring some orange juice for the both of us.
"Your portions might be a little scorched, but mine sure aren't," Claire replied, serving up the eggs. I pulled the freshly toasted bread from the toaster and topped them with butter and peach jam before putting them on the table.
"I knew you'd make some comment along those lines and I didn't want to disappoint you," she continued, setting my own eggs in front of me.
"Ouch," I said, feigning a wound in my chest, "I guess I'm becoming a little too predictable."
"Oh hon, you're more predictable than a love bug in June," she said with a shake of her head. "And all they do is eat and mate."
"Is that so? If I recall you were quite surprised when I ran into you yesterday. Unless you want to try and tell me you predicted that happening too?"
"It would not be dignified for me to acknowledge that line of thought with any sort of response," she said haughtily, turning away and raising her nose into the air. But I could see her face reddening just a little.
"How high did you jump when that happened?" I pressed, trying to suppress a smirk and failing. "This high?" I put my hand at waist height. "Or this high?" My hand rose to chest height.
"It was not more than a few inches, you dolt!" Claire exclaimed, finally cracking. She tossed one of the cork board coasters in easy reach at me, laughing. I quickly dodged out of the way, to no avail - it struck me squarely in the shoulder.
"So you admit it! I can surprise you," I say triumphantly, rubbing dramatically at the spot where her impromptu missile had struck.
"Yes, yes, you can blearily stumble your way about and happen to catch me off guard by random chance. Congratulations," she said, giving me a shallow bow with her head. She quickly finished the rest of her breakfast and stood up.
"For your prize, you can go ahead and clean up from breakfast," she waved at all of the dishes around the kitchen and on the table.
"Whatever, you're just a sore loser," I said dismissively. Suddenly remembering that Sierra had wanted me to have lunch with Claire, I added "But while we're on the topic of payment, you should let me take you to lunch. Since you cooked breakfast."
She paused at the door and said, "Alright, I suppose it's the least you can do. We haven't had much of a chance to talk lately anyways."
"Cool, I'm free after noon so we can go where you want then. Pick you up at your class?"
"Yeah that works. See you then."
"'Bye!" I said, and started to wash all the dishes when she'd gone. There weren't many, since Sierra had washed everything else the night before. Thinking of that led me to remember my conversation with Claire over dinner last night, which brought me to wondering what she had planned for us again. Before I realized what I was doing, I started to imagine having a threesome with Sierra and Claire. It was very sensual picture, our three bodies intertwined with one another. Surely they'd have different preferences too...
Finishing with the dishes and collecting my things for the day, I put the fantasy out of my mind. Claire was gorgeous and definitely not sexually shy, but she was just a friend. It had been this way even when we'd been in high school. Sure, something might have possibly happened between us at one point, but then she met her current boyfriend Jacob and I met Sierra a while after, someone I genuinely care about. And although Sierra might be super cool and rarely got jealous, she'd never be okay with me outright cheating on her and I'd be dreaming if she ever suggested a threesome. Especially a threesome with someone as gorgeous and self-confident as Claire. With a sigh, I got into my truck and left for my classes.
My classes went by very quickly. Even though I paid attention to everything that went on, I just felt elated and focused and time flew. When I finished with all of them for the day, I found I still felt energetic. Ready for whatever might come my way. I had to decline a few offers to hang out or go to lunch, and went on to pick Claire up.
You might be wondering why I never go to lunch with Sierra. It's not that I don't want to; it's just that she usually has to entertain clients for lunch. She's very dedicated to her work and will skip lunch or eat lunch with her clients while they work on the details for their events. Very exhausting work really, and we're lucky we can usually get our evenings together. I had a feeling that she had set some time aside throughout this week, to make plenty of time for our daily activities.
Anyways, I picked Claire up and we headed to the restaurant of her choice. It was a sit-down lunch place with a wide variety of foods that were all pretty good. And the prices weren't exorbitant either, which made it a favorite spot for college students; Claire and I waved to several people we knew as we passed them and took our seats in a corner booth that was fairly isolated from the people around us. We had been idly talking the whole while, about our classes and the mild drama that goes on in them; at one point she mentioned she'd be out late tonight, working on a group project for a theater class. But after we'd ordered and a short lull in the conversation arose, I decided to broach more serious topics.
"So how come you had to move in with Sierra and I for a while? Is everything alright between you and Jacob?"
She sighed and looked away from me, clearly unsure how to answer and most likely debating whether to brush it off or not. Not wanting to make things awkward, I quickly said, "Sorry, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything."
"No no, it's fine," she said at last. "You should at least get to know what's up since I dropped in on you guys unexpectedly."
