It had been a long week and though I was a bit tired when Karen and I had headed off to bed I still hoped to get a little lovin' in.
Karen had showered first and I was coming out of the bathroom when I heard her cell phone ring. I could tell by the ring tone it was her best friend Sara. I lay down beside Karen and started to run my fingers over naked body trying to make the point I had first dibs on her time.
I had overheard these conversations before and knew they could go on a long time.
"Do you have time to talk," Sara ask, I don't want to interrupt anything but I was just wondering if you ..."
"I always have time for you," Karen responded. "I'm just here in bed and lover boy is acting a little frisky but he can wait, anticipation makes it all the better doesn't it?"
I don't know if all girlfriends are so open but Karen and Sara are. Sara worked as a family councilor specializing in sexual education, so I suppose that was the reason she had such ease discussing these matters.
I was soon dozing and somewhere between "I can hear you talking but I don't know what you're saying," and sleep, I thought Karen began talking to me. "That was Sara. She has a plan that will help each of us with our marriages and I told her I'd talk to you about it."
Just like Karen, I thought, always concerned about relationships. "And how do you propose to help our marriage," I said, or at least that's what I would have said if I were awake?
"Sara and Tim have invited us to join them for a weekend mini vacation," Karen informed me.
Tim was Sara's husband, 35 years old; he stood at 6'4" and was a big strong fellow but gentle as a lamb. I always enjoyed hanging out with him.
"Well, if that's all it takes to help our marriages -- sure I'm game. Where are we going," I queried.
"They rented a house at the beach" Karen responded.
"Nice, we'll do some skim-boarding, check out some hot babes on the beach, sounds like fun, fun, fun," I teased Karen.
