"Gretchen!!" Debi shouted, scaring the hell out of the two older Oriental women in front of her, as she finally made her way off the train.
"Debi!!" I screamed back, startling the hell out of Blake.
The Debi was my "bestie." She and I had been friends our entire lives, first meeting when my family moved next door to hers when I we were four.
From the moment we met, we'd been inseparable. Sharing all of the trials and tribulations of growing up, the good and the bad, even all of our birthday parties, as we were born 2 days apart, were spent together.
She had spent a rather hellish year wrapped up in a nasty divorce from her loser husband.
The day prior, I'd called and given her an invite to spend a week hanging out with Blake and me at out farm.
From twenty five feet and without my glasses, I could see the stress of her divorce had taken a toll on her. She looked worn out.
Excitedly running towards her, I almost bowled over the Oriental women, but once past them, it was all hugs and kisses.
"I was so excited to get here after you called," she giggled. "I took the first train out; I didn't even bother to tell my office I would be gone for a week."
"I've missed you so much," I gushed as we hugged. "I wish you didn't have to leave in a week. I want you here forever."
I have a very embarrassing emotional and mushy streak.
Once her bags were collected, we headed back to our farm.
I use the term farm rather loosely. At one time it was a farm, Blake inherited it from a relative he didn't know he had, but our small vegetable garden is the only concession we've made to our homes past history. The rest of the 30 acres was our private hideaway.
There was one stop we had to make. A winery owned by Tommy, one of Blake's closest friends, to pick up a few bottles... After all farm living is a thirsty living.
After a half hour of tasting and listening to Tommy's pathetic attempts at humor, we were back in the car, headed home.
After giving her a quick tour and a wardrobe change, the two of us headed out to the back deck.
I was in my semi normal hang around the house clothes, a boy-beater tank top and a baggy pair of soccer shorts.
Debi was on the same page as I was, coming out in a tank top and shorts too.
Sitting down, we saw that Blake, who had hidden himself away in his workshop, had chilled the wine and laid out some fruit and cheese.
With our bare feet up on the deck table, we drank wine, ate cheese and brought each other up to speed on our lives. I listened when she started talking about her divorce. The more she talked, the more emotional she was starting to get. Eager to change the subject, I asked her if she was seeing anyone.
"Nope," she replied shaking her head. "I halfway had a fantasy of hooking up with someone while I was staying here."
"Sorry babe," I told her. "Pickings are a little slim around here."
"What about Tommy, is he single?"
It seemed appropriate that, when speaking of fantasies, Tommy's name would come up. Not because he was fantasy material, more because the man was delusional. The entire time we tasted, he kept flirting with Debi. Somehow, he got onto a kick about how the two of us could be sisters.
I couldn't help myself, but I called him on that one.
"Yeah, we look exactly alike," I taunted, with a smile. "Of course you have to factor in that she's 5'-10" and I am only 5'6". She has curly brown hair, mine is blonde. She has big boobs. Mine are, well, not as big. Her eyes are blue and mine are brown. But yeah Tommy, other than that, we could be twins."
Thankfully, Tommy saw the humor.
"Yes, Tommy is single," I answered her. "But the guy is really a pig."
"Oh how bad could he be?"
"He refers to dating as 'Fishing for Furry Flounder'."
"I see your point... But it's been a year and a half, if this goes on much longer, I may have to borrow Blake," she joked.
"I might let you," I joked back. "But I get to watch."
An immediate wave of "Where the hell did that come from?" washed over me.
Our eyes met for a split second of awkward.
"You guys ready for another bottle?" Blake asked as he stepped out on the deck, breaking the silence. "Everything alright?"
"Couldn't be righter," Debi answered with a smile.
Blake dropped off the chilled bottle and exited with the empty.
As we talked, my mind latched onto the thought of loaning out my husband, to my best friend. At first I was appalled that I could even think of such a thing. But gradually, the idea started sounding more appealing. The thought that someone wanted my husband was kind of exciting to me. I could tell by the way Blake looked at Debi when he thought I wouldn't see, he had the hots for her. Blend that with the eroticism of watching them have sex together....
I was starting to get myself worked up over the idea.
We kept talking through the sunset. Soon after the sun went down and the mosquitoes came out, we made a retreat to the living room.
As we cracked our third bottle of wine, I worked up enough courage to broach the subject with her.
"I know this is going to sound crazy," I started. "But have you ever thought about Blake in that way?"
"Are you serious?" she asked and continued when I nodded in the affirmative. "To be honest with you, yes I have, especially in the last couple of years. To have a man in my life that is attentive, listens to me and would do anything for me, like Blake does for you. Not to mention he's not too hard on the eyes... Hell yes, if you weren't in the picture, I would do him in a flat second."
Our eyes locked for a few moments, each trying to get a read on the other. I broke first. After finishing off the remaining wine in my glass and refilling it, I spoke.
"Cards on the table," I started. "I don't know why and please don't freak out, but would you be interested in it?"
"In what?" she asked in a mock innocence.
She was obviously enjoying watching me stumble up the courage to ask her. I had no choice; she was going to make me spell it out.
"Debi, for some reason, all I've been able to think about is watching you and Blake together."
"So my dear friend," she started feigning seriousness. "You just want to use me to fill out some voyeuristic fantasy of yours?"
"Why yes I do," I replied, playing along. "No denying it. But there's more to it than that. There's a part of it for Blake. After 12 years and put crudely, I am sure he'd be up for some strange. The other reason and don't get insulted, it's something I can give you, some no strings attached, no pressure fun."
"Interesting, you're sure Blake would even want to? And are you positive, you are going to be ok with it?"
My pussy tingled, she was actually sounding interested.
"One; He's a guy, of course he would do it. Two, I am so turned on right now, I could scream. Of course I'm going to be ok with it."
She gave me one last pensive stare....
