I was on my laptop on a Sunday, nursing a hangover from last night and watching Netflix. My girlfriend Nicole was about to go out to brunch with her friend Marissa. I had mixed views about Marissa. She was hot, which was good. I enjoyed when she came over to our apartment or when I was alone with Nicole and her. What man wouldn't? The problem was that she was pretty outgoing and not at all conservative like Nicole. She talked about sex and dressed to provoke men. That meant that Nicole also did when the two were together. Though Nicole, of course, did not partake in the overt flirting like Marissa did.
There was a knock on the door and I heard Nicole open it. The two exclaimed how excited they were to meet each other, as girls do. I closed my laptop and headed downstairs to greet her and see the two off. My Nicole was dressed in a short skirt that seemed a little too short for brunch, but Marissa was wearing a skin-tight athletic outfit that left nothing to imagination. Marissa also wore lots of makeup and bright-red lipstick in comparison to Nicole's modest eyeliner and au natural look.
I guess I couldn't blame Nicole for dressing up; if she wore her ordinary garb when out with Marissa, the two would look like they weren't even friends.
The two departed and I watched them walk away. Nicole had an athletic and firm buttocks which, on its own, is enough to make any man do a double take. But Marissa, of course, stole the show like usual. Her leggings and top were skin tight and you could see the clear outline of her enormous well-defined backside. She walked with a seductive strut that made her hips sway from side to side. I caught myself staring at Marissa instead of Nicole and felt a little guilty. I thought how badly I wanted to masturbate to the sight of the two walking away in unison. I decided to wait for the real thing until Nicole got back. Who knows, maybe today would be the day when I would get involved with Nicole and Marissa at the same time? I had dreamed of it before, though Marissa had never shown me any overt sexual attention. It was either because she respected her friend too much to be attracted to me... or that she wasn't exactly attracted to me. My ego told me to think the former but pragmatically I knew it was probably more the latter. As an ordinary-looking guy, you can get a hot girlfriend, but it's unrealistic to expect her hot friends to swoon over you.
About 30 minutes went by when I received a text from Nicole. She frequently texted me when she wasn't with me, which made me feel good. She always seemed to be thinking of me.
"Marissa is ridiculous," it read.
"Oh?" I replied.
"She's treating brunch like a Friday night," she replied.
"What's she doing?" I asked.
"What do you think," she said.
"Hitting on a guy? Getting hit on? Lol," I replied.
"You're good," Nicole replied.
Our conversation took an unrelated turn, then puttered out for a couple minutes until Nicole reignited it with something out of the blue.
"I'm drunnnnk," she said.
"Already?" I asked.
"He's buying us Bloody Mary's. They're strong," she explained.
"Who?" I asked.
"Jared. Guy who Marissa is with," she said.
"What's going on with them?" I replied, getting somewhat concerned. There had been times when I had been out on the town with Marissa and Nicole. One guy will hit on Marissa, and she'll reciprocate, so guys will think Nicole is available too, which she's not. Sometimes I'll have to fend them off for her, which is frustrating because Marissa keeps them around and sometimes seems to want to get under my skin with stuff like that.
"No tables. So we sat at the bar and Marissa sat next to him. They were flirting. After a while Jared suggested we all put our names in for a table. So we did. And another group canceled. Now we're at one of those circle booth thingys. Jared sat in between us. He's very close to Marissa and ignoring me," it read.
I was happy to hear that he was ignoring her, but not thrilled about them sitting together.
"Why is he sitting next to you?" I asked.
"He's in the middle of us. More space. He's tall," she said, using the bicep emoji.
"Haha. Did you order any food?" I replied, wanting to say something and move the conversation along.
I didn't hear back for 15 minutes.
"Going back to Marissa's," she finally said.
"With Jared?" I asked.
"Yep," she said.
"Should I come?" I asked, wanting her to feel safe.
"If you want," she said. It wasn't exactly an invitation.
