Andy knew Todd and Chris for so long now that they all saw each other as brothers. The three of them were roommates in college several years ago when Andy first met his wife Claire. Nowadays it doesn't surprise Andy to find one of them, with their wife or significant other, visiting Claire when he got home from work.
Keisha is Todd's wife. She had known Todd since high school. Todd was a varsity basketball player and Keisha had just made the cheerleading squad when they met. Being on the basketball team, it's easy to imagine that Todd is tall. In fact, he's over 6-foot 8. He claims that when he first saw Keisha's hard-body and ebony complexion running onto the court in her miniskirt, he started getting an erection and had to fight to get his mind back on the game.
Chris was an art major. He and his girlfriend Cathy met in college as well. Chris mainly wore denim whenever he could and Cathy usually wore black. They never quite looked like a couple when they were out in public but something between them just clicked. As odd as it seems to their friends, they never got married. They're still considered a couple, though, because Chris and Cathy would never leave each other and they are really and truly in love.
One evening, the three couples were over at Andy and Claire's house, having just come back from seeing "sex, lies and videotape..." at the movies. They were sitting in the living room drinking, talking and discussing the movie when Claire asked Keisha if she'd ever let herself be recorded, talking about her sex life. To their surprise, Keisha gave a mischievous smile and admitted that she probably would. Todd looked a bit nervous at her and when everyone saw his look, they laughed.
Not to be left out of the spotlight, Cathy, the art major, piped up and said with confidence, "Hell, I would! But it'd be a shame to keep a video like that private. What a documentary of twenty-first century human sexuality we'd all miss out on. It would be a shame if a tape like that was stored in some pervert's closet."
Todd looked at Cathy and said, "If you're so brave, how about telling us all about one of your fantasies."
Cathy didn't expect that and reconsidered. She said "Come on...you guys don't really want to hear what I've got to say."
Not to let the moment slip by, Claire said "Sure we do, or the comment wouldn't have been made. We should be fair though and let everyone take a turn." Claire added, trying to coax Cathy to speak. "We're all good friends and I don't think anyone would broadcast this to anyone outside of our little circle. Besides, I think I know what girls think about but I'd love to know what drives guys...sexually."
There was silence as everyone in the room considered the implications. Before anyone could raise a voice in protest, however, Cathy made the decision for everyone by speaking first.
"OK, this is one I've had for a long time now...It's kind of a dream which I've had a few times but before I totally wake up, I always finish playing it out in my mind."
CATHY -
I'm leaning forward against a waist-high Grecian pillar on my elbows. I am in some kind of art gallery. I can hear that there's a crowd of people behind me and I'm not wearing any clothes. On my right and left are two sculptures of men waving fronds at me. I can't move my body but I can move my eyes enough to look around. The statues are crouching on one knee and I can see that they both have erections. There is a small reflective surface against the wall in front of me and I can see part of myself and a few of the people behind me. My skin is painted white and looks like alabaster. The director is explaining the artwork to them.
