Practice
"Scott, hey. Do you live here now?" I heard before I could open my eyes. I was lying out by the pool of my new apartment complex in the rapidly increasing heat of the Florida panhandle. May was already proving to be a hot one with temperatures reaching close to 90 degrees.
"Hey Megan. How are you? Long time. I just moved in at the beginning of the month. Do you live here now, too?" I asked.
"Yeah, Jenny and I each got our own place. I moved in about three months ago and I've been waiting for the weather to change so I can get my tan on," she replied, smiling. "It was crowded when I came out and I didn't see you at first."
Megan was Jenny's roommate for about a year. They both worked at the same restaurant-bar I once frequented, and Jenny and I had been on again-off again fuckbuddies. At 36 she was nine years older than me and probably five years older than Megan. We all got along as friends, but I was never really that close to Megan. The last couple of times I was over at their place with Jenny, Megan wasn't home. There had been a little awkward episode between us. I thought she had avoided me intentionally, but I guess it was forgotten.
"This is my first time lying out this year. It looks like it might rain soon, so I wanted to at least get a start on my tan, too," I said, as I took a sip from my frozen banana daquiri. The apartment complex was a vast array of two story units with both flats and townhomes. I lucked up and got one near the pool on the first floor after another prospective tenant backed out at the end of last month.
We continued chatting and catching up about the last few months. I hadn't seen Jenny in probably four months and Megan in more than that. Jenny met a guy who she seemed to like more than a fuckbuddy and who also seemed good for her. Megan was thirty or thirty-one, I wasn't sure, but had jet black hair and was about fifteen or twenty pounds overweight, according to her. This didn't stop me from finding her to be a very attractive woman and this was the first time I had ever seen her in a swimsuit. She had a two-piece tankini that was white and contrasted her skin and hair nicely. I think she was of Mediterranean descent. She had great curves, but she always seemed a little self-conscious about her weight, even while wearing clothes at work. She looked fine to me.
The clouds started to move closer out of the west and off the Gulf. It was a weekday and most of our fellow wanna be tanners had already headed indoors. Like myself, there were an abundance of students at the local community college who lived there. I was at the end of my daiquiri but had a half full blender in my fridge with more. As she watched me finish it I noticed she wasn't drinking anything.
"I have more inside. You want a drink?" I asked. "I just live right there," as I pointed to the back porch of my apartment about twenty yards away.
"Yeah, it looks good," she said. "Besides, it's clouding up. Most of the good tan time is up for today."
We gathered our towels and belongings and headed to my place and entered through the patio door. As we came in I turned on some music and went to the kitchen and Megan followed. We had always gotten along fine both at the bar and when I was over at her and Jenny's previous place. At twenty-seven I always felt comfortable with women a little older than myself.
I poured two daiquiris and we sat around the kitchen table reminiscing as we sipped our drinks. I usually made them strong and it wasn't long before they were melting. We both drank them pretty quickly and without asking if she wanted more I made another batch. I liked the Parrot Bay rum in my daiquiris.
We moved to the couches in the den for our second drink. As we drank, our tongues loosened up and we chatted about our new neighbors, Jenny's new boyfriend, and Megan meeting a new guy recently. After she finished her second drink she had a goofy smile on her face. I went to refill our glasses once more and when I returned she had the same goofy look.
"What's up?" I asked, having an idea about what she was smiling about.
"You know. That time I saw you and Jenny," she said giggling. "You were...you know, ha-ha."
I think my face turned a little red as I, too, cracked a smile. Jenny and I had a few drinks one early afternoon and went to their place. Megan's car was gone and we had the place to ourselves, or so we thought. I had stayed overnight previously a few times, when Megan was home, so my presence there wasn't a big deal. As things heated up between Jenny and I that day, we were undressed more quickly than normal. We left the door to Jenny's room open, not caring about anything except fucking each other once again right then and there. Just as I was about to make Jenny cum with my mouth like I usually did before intercourse, Megan walked by and saw us. Jenny's eyes were closed in orgasmic fashion and I don't think she ever knew. Megan had been in her room listening to headphones with her door closed. Her car was in the shop getting new brakes or something minor. When she walked by, our eyes met briefly and she retreated to her room without saying anything. This was the first time either of us brought it up.
"Yeah, that was...yeah," I said, laughing. Jenny never said anything to me, so I assumed Megan never mentioned it to her. I guess it was mine and Megan's little secret. Feeling a little braver than normal from the alcohol I questioned her further.
"So...what went through your mind when you saw us like that?" I asked.
She paused, took a long sip of her drink, then with a serious look on her face said, "I was wishing it was me in her place."
"Wow! I guess I wasn't expecting that answer, but Ok," I said smiling. "Surely, Ricky always took care of you that way, right?"
"Um, not exactly," she said, sounding a little disappointed, averting her eyes.
Ricky was her boyfriend for about four years. Most of the people who knew her knew them as a couple. The same with Ricky's friends. They just seemed good together as a couple and headed for marriage, eventually. Most of us were taken by surprise when they split up suddenly and Ricky took a job out of town.
"He never got into that. He tried a couple of times, but he wasn't into it, so I didn't push. Of course, he didn't mind me doing it for him, ha-ha," she went on.
I really couldn't believe that we were having this conversation. As friends we never really discussed more than bands, bars and friends.
"Well, what about that guy you said you dated before him? What was his name?" I asked. I really wanted to know at this point, as I was sure I wasn't the only generous guy out there.
"Tim, and no he wasn't into it either. He didn't even like getting blowjobs, ha-ha," was her response. "We dated in our early twenties for almost three years and there wasn't really anybody else besides him and Ricky," she continued.
I didn't know Megan while growing up, so I didn't know her complete dating history. We only knew each other through Jenny and the bar where they both worked. I remembered her mentioning a guy or two that she dated, but she was a little more overweight growing up and I guess had always been self-conscious.
"So...you wished it was you...," I said, referring to her comment about seeing me and Jenny. It wasn't a question, but a statement. I let this comment linger in the air. When she didn't respond immediately, the alcohol began to influence my choice of words.
"Well you know, when I do that for a woman I like some reaction on her part as well," I said, almost sounding boastful.
"What do you mean? I guess I felt a little self-conscious when they tried. Maybe that turned them off?" She seemed to be asking the question to herself.
"I mean, I love when my woman grabs my hair and gets into it. I love the eye contact, little things." I was being serious at this point of our discussion.
"I think Jenny's eyes were shut hard, ha-ha," she said. "She did seem into it otherwise, like you say."
"Well, here, let me show you what I mean, and you can practice on me," I said, feeling bold as I moved out of my chair and approached her. I got on my knees on the carpet and looked up at her. At first, she started laughing and looked at me like I was crazy. I moved in a little closer and she was reluctant to open her legs even the slightest bit. I put my hands on her knees and said, "Go ahead. Put your hands on my head and run your fingers through my hair. Maintain eye contact. That always makes it hotter."
She was laughing playfully but did as I said and put her hands on my head. When she tried to maintain eye contact she kept laughing, but at least she seemed interested in my idea.
"Try shutting your eyes for now," I instructed. When she did I could sense she was enjoying it more without the pressure of eye contact. Her fingers were feeling good running through my hair and I was becoming aroused.
"Now clasp your hands together and pull my head in further," I said. "Just like Jenny did when you saw her smothering me. I loved it, by the way, ha-ha."
She pulled my head in slightly between her legs, opened her eyes, and then she started laughing hysterically. She released her grip on my head and started shaking her head, unable to continue.
"Sorry I'm laughing, but this just seems silly," she said. I'm sure I'll know what to do if it ever happens. Then she stood up to leave, thanking me for the drinks.
"Yeah, well maybe your new flame will be different," I said, with an air of encouragement.
"We'll see," she said. "He's younger, maybe a year older than you, so maybe there is hope. We went out on one date already and just kissed a little. Tomorrow is our second date. I hope he likes getting blowjobs, ha-ha. OK, TMI. I need to get going."
"Good luck," I said, as she walked out. "If he doesn't, come back and see me," I mumbled to myself after she closed the door behind her, knowing she didn't hear it.
