"That's fucking bullshit!!" Melissa tells me, laughing loudly. "No one can go down on a woman for 2-3 hours straight, that's impossible!!!"
"That's because you've never been with me," I tell her.
Melissa and I have been friends for, oh, about 5 years. She had always brought up sexual topics as she is a very open sexual person, but I am not. It's not that I'm uncomfortable with talking about it, it's just not something I would bring up. Today, we were at Starbucks, drinking coffee outside at one of the patio tables and she brought up how her boyfriend hates to go down on her, while I casually mention that I like to do it for a few hours at a time.
She pauses a moment, takes a deep breath. "Maybe I've never been with you because you've never hinted you wanted to." She says quietly.
I sit there in shock staring at her. All these years, she had never once made a sexual move toward me. Always just tortured me with sexual talk to the point, I'd go home and jerk off a few times thinking about what she said.
"Melissa, you've never once shown any interest in me. Are you telling me that you are interested in me? I ask.
She stares at me, reaches across the table and takes my hand in hers. "Dave, you are one of the sweetest, kindest guys I know. You've been there for me through at least 4 relationships. You know why they haven't worked for me? It's because I compare every guy to you."
She starts to giggle as I turn bright red and I say to her, "It's nice to know all this now, but, um, you have a boyfriend, Tom, remember?"
"Well it's a good thing I broke up with him last week then, isn't it."
I must have looked like a deer in headlights, because she got up, came around the table, sat in my lap with her arms around my neck and says, "Dave, will you go on a date with me? Please?"
I take a deep breath and just look at her beautiful face, inches from mine, searching her big blue eyes. I finally smile and say "Of course I would. I would love to go on a date with you." And with those few words, my fate was sealed.

We had made plans for a few days from then to have dinner. When I arrived at the restaurant to wait for her, she stood there talking to another guy. As I walked up to them, she squeals and gives me the biggest hug and a lingering kiss. She turns to the guy and introduces me to Jonathan. And introduces me as her boyfriend to him. And then we watch as he makes some awkward comments and flees the area.
