Daniel took a sip of his Alaskan Amber while taking a surreptitious glance at Crystal. It was hard to tell where she was looking as she lounged back on the reclining deck chair, the oversized tortoiseshell glasses concealing her eyes. Daniel glanced from her to Nathan who was sitting at the round glass topped patio table with a decidedly hangdog expression.
As nice as the day was in the eighties with clear blue skies, he was surprised and grateful that they had the apartment complex's pool to themselves, no matter how odd the vibe seemed to be.
That weird vibe had been present ever since they had come out onto the sundeck with only the occasional dip into the pool to cool off. Whenever Nathan caught Daniel looking his way he'd turn his head or glance down at the ground with a guilty expression while Crystal only stared back at Daniel with a smirk.
Daniel turned to look at Crystal and caught her looking back at him as she snickered.
Yep, definitely a snicker, Daniel thought to himself.
"Ok, what gives?" Daniel asked in exasperation.
Crystal sat up and tilted her sunglasses onto her auburn hair while she grinned at him. Daniel tried not to stare but still glanced quickly down at her D cup breasts and ample cleavage that her small, bright yellow bikini top left exposed. Crystal was more than a bit on the short and plump side with lots of padding to her curves, but it still surprised him that as pretty as she was with long, auburn hair and oval face that she and Nathan had somehow hooked up.
Daniel and Nathan had grown up as best friends living next door to each other before getting an apartment once they had moved out to attend college. Daniel still found it annoying that they were regularly mistaken for brothers, both tall and gangly with dark brown hair and gray eyes but Nathan keeping his hair shaggy and long with bangs perpetually hanging down into his eyes while Daniel keep his in a 'high and tight'.
When Crystal had moved into the apartment next door to theirs Daniel had pretty much ignored her besides a polite hello whenever they had met in the parking lot or passed each other on the stairs. Pretty much ignored her until one day she and Nathan were suddenly inseparable and always walking around hand in hand when he wasn't spending nights at her place.
"I know what you and Nathan used to do," Crystal said with a smirk.
"Huh?" Daniel asked although he suddenly felt his stomach plummet.
"I know you used to give Nathan 'bj's'!" Crystal exclaimed with a huge grin.
Daniel's face drained of color while it felt as if someone had just punched him in the gut before he felt his face grow hot in anger.
"That's bullshit!" Daniel almost shouted, "What the fuck!"
Daniel glared at Nathan who looked away without meeting his eyes and then back to Crystal who was still smirking at him.
"Nathan told me that you two used to do that all the time before he met me," Crystal said.
"Oh yea," Daniel shot back angrily, "Well, he's fucking lying!"
"No, he's not," Crystal smirked, "And I'm going to tell everyone in all your classes, tell all your professors...
"Unless..."
"Right, you're going to tell everyone at school that your boyfriend likes to suck guys dick!!" Daniel shot back, "And seriously, even if it was true, do you really think they'd believe you or give a shit if they did?"
"I'm just going to tell everyone that you suck dick," Crystal replied smugly, "And then you'll have to admit you like giving guys bj's if you want to say Nathan does too."
Daniel glared at Nathan who still wouldn't meet his eyes.
"Who gives a shit, Crystal?" Daniel said and then glanced around nervously when he realized he was shouting, "Seriously, do you really think anyone would care that you were lying?"
"You obviously care," Crystal replied, "And I'm not lying, so I'm going to tell everyone that you suck dick...
"Unless..." Crystal said again.
Daniel shifted his glare to Crystal who was still smirking.
"Ok, what the fuck... unless what?" Daniel shot back.
"You let me watch," Crystal replied.
"What?" Daniel exclaimed, "Watch what?
"I mean, I don't give guys blow jobs so I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Daniel..." Crystal said in an exaggeratedly patient voice, "Nathan's already told me all about you two watching porn together, jerking each other off, giving each other head.
"I know he's not lying which means..."
Daniel glanced from Crystal to Nathan who finally met his eyes and gave a small, guilty shrug.
"So, I won't tell anyone, but you have to let me watch," Crystal said.
Daniel glanced again between Nathan and Crystal feeling trapped and backed into a corner, his face starting to bead in sweat that had nothing to do with the afternoon sun.
And yet.
He could feel himself stirring inside his navy blue swim trunks while he glanced between Nathan and Crystal.
"No... I mean... that's just... no..." Daniel stammered.
"I'm sorry," Nathan finally said with his hangdog expression, "I didn't mean to... it just... sort'a slipped out one day."
