Note: Due to some unfortunate errors, there has been a lot of confusion about the story so rather than screw around, I'm re-posting the story in blocks of about 8 chapters as bi-sexual. I hope this ends the confusion and thanks for staying with me.
Chapters 1 through 8
Chapter 1
It had been a rotten week with car problems, hubby problems and now the freaking washer wouldn't start. And talk about terrible timing, I had four large loads to do because I wasted six hours getting the damned car fixed.
Facing the reticent appliance, I made my feelings crystal clear. "You miserable, worthless son-of-a-bitch, if money wasn't so tight I'd replace both of you."
Facing the daunting task of dragging at least half of the clothes to the Laundromat, I headed for the kitchen, wearing nothing but my very sheer panties and sleep bra. Thank god the coffee was ready and I was too.
I jumped and made a silly attempt to cover myself when someone knocked at the back door. Whoever it was had already had time to see me nearly naked so it was a bit late to conceal anything.
"Are you home, Cin?"
I felt my body relax as I went to let my best friend in. Lexi and our friend Melanie, or Mel, have been my friends since fourth grade and are the only ones in the world that are allowed to call me Cin, a name I despise due to the evil way it was used against me in school.
I unlocked the door and stepped away so no one else could see my state of un-dress.
"Your timing is excellent, as always," I said. "I just poured my first cup."
"Love the outfit," she said, with a smile, as she stepped in to give me a hug.
"You've seen me in less," I pointed out.
"Yeah, but not this close," she said. "What's the occasion for getting all dressed up?"
"I planned on getting a load of clothes started before I showered, but the damned washer is broke again. I get the dryer fixed and the washer breaks. It's a vicious cycle."
"First your car, and now this," she said, as she accepted the coffee I offered and sat across from me.
"No shit, I said, "and the bank account is almost gone. I swear, I know he doesn't want me to go back to work but damn it, he just isn't bringing in enough to take care of emergencies like this, and I just got the credit cards all paid off. God, I hate to use them again but I'm going to have to."
"Remember when you could buy a new washer and dryer for about three hundred?" she asked.
"That won't even buy you a decent dryer now," I said.
"I know," she said. "Why not bring those over to my place to do them? There's no sense going to the Laundromat when you can do them at my place and we can chat or whatever while you do them."
"I don't want to tie up your day," I said, "and it's not that bad. I just read between loads."
"I don't have any plans anyway, Cin, and you can read at my place just as well.
There's nothing on television worth watching. Of course, we can always watch a video and have fun together."
"We both know the answer to that," I said.
We had long since accepted the fact that we were both bi-curious, but at the same time, we knew we were not free to explore that curiosity since we were married and happily so.
The closest we had ever been was on the two occasions where we wound up masturbating together. It wasn't planned in either instance and we accepted the fact that it could go no further.

Chapter 2
By the time we loaded everything up, drove to her house and lugged it all inside, we were worn out but I had no time to linger.
With the first load started, I sorted the balance of the clothes and went to get something cold to drink.
"You know," I told her, "I'm almost ready to risk Tim's disappointment and go find a job. Even part time would be enough to make a huge difference in our finances and it's not like we have kids or anything, although there are times when I wish he would change his mind about that too."
""I guess I'm lucky," she said. "When the company sold out, Troy wound up with a promotion and a nice raise from the new owners. Tim didn't get that lucky. The outfit he went with is really cheap."
"Yeah," I said. "It really sucks. He works harder, puts in more hours, and still isn't making what he made two years ago. He loves the fact that I'm a good money manager but if there's nothing there to manage there's not a lot I can do. Now, I have to go back in debt for a new washer and the refrigerator is about to die too.."
"I don't know how you get by with that apartment sized fridge you have," she said.
"I hate to give up on it. It's only nine years old," I said, sarcastically.
"Yeah, but you bought it used," she said.
"I might see what I can do to replace them both at the same time." I said.
"Gee, Cin, you only need two or three grand to catch a breath. I'll get it from my cheap skate for you...oh wait, he doesn't have but about ten bucks or so. Sorry."
"No problem," I said. "I wouldn't take it from you anyway. Can I use your computer to see what kind of deal I can find? I might as well have some numbers to show Tim when he comes home from work."
"Sure," she said, "I'll have to show you where it is now because the ass hole moved it so I couldn't see what he was doing."
"Sounds like something Tim would do," I said."He works hard to keep me from knowing what he does but the truth is that I really don't give a damn. I'm sure he's into some porn but if he is, it isn't stopping me from getting laid once or twice a month if he doesn't have to go fishing or play golf or cards or whatever."
