It had been a week since Rebecca and I had our first intimate experience. The atmosphere of the house changed; she and I basically ran into each other in the house, giggling. It was like a little secret club that we were involved with....only at the time there were only two members. She and I frequently made up excuses to get out of the house alone, mainly to talk and make sure our friendship wasn't going to suffer since we had become intimate. It was a Friday and we were enjoying Chinese at our favorite restaurant when I nearly had a heart attack.
Rebecca took a deep breath and suddenly blurted out, "I think I need to tell Michael what's going on. You've opened up a whole sexual side to me that I didn't know was there, and I'd like for he and I to try some new things sexually. But he's going to want to know where this is all coming from, and I think its best that I'm honest with him."
I nearly dropped my chopsticks in shock. It had only happened once, why did she have to tell her husband anything at all?
"I know what you're thinking. You think that Michael is going to be mad. But I really don't think so, Amber. I think if anything he'll be excited that I've come out of my shell. Think about it, we wouldn't have to hide anything or worry about getting caught because he would
know
."
I wasn't so sure about that. Michael might get so mad that he would kick me out of the house or kill me in my sleep. Or worse, tell our other roommate Brian who would have to tell
all
of his friends....and he had a
lot
of friends. No way, this was a bad idea. Unfortunately I loved Rebecca to death and I couldn't argue with her. After all, it was her marriage and ultimately her decision.
The snowflakes fell on the windshield as we made our way home. I sighed in relief as I noticed that Brian was home and could keep me company while Rebecca had a chat with Michael. I planned on attaching myself to Brian all night and using him as a human shield. Hopefully he didn't have a date over tonight.
We had barely walked in the door when Rebecca grabbed her husband and drug him into their bedroom. I made a beeline for the living room where I found Brian watching a movie. I sweetly convinced him to stay in and have a movie marathon with me; I merely had to tempt him with popcorn and hot chocolate. I quickly ran into my bedroom and changed into lounge pants and a top, and went about making the goodies.
There was a roaring fire, yet it was still chilly to me. In fact, the whole house was chilly....or was it just me? I sat on the couch and shivered. Brian noticed and did offer to share his blanket. I scooted closer to him on the couch and snuggled up against him. We'd done this before, but we'd never really been this close or shared a blanket. I was a little surprised when I felt his arm drape above me on the couch.
Brian was a funny guy. In his next life he should be a comedian, he'd make a killing. He was attractive in his own way; he was built like a linebacker and had a terrific smile and laugh. You would not believe how many practical jokes I had been the butt end of. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't open the bathroom door, waiting for the firecrackers again. The first time I nearly pissed my pants.
Like a slap in the face, it hit me what kind of situation I had on my hands. Brian had put on a chick flick, we had a roaring fire....hot chocolate....all the lights were out. Here we were, snuggling on the couch and his arm was slowly slipping down off the couch onto my shoulders. It took all I had not to snort in laughter. The funny and outgoing Brian was very shy about making a move on his roommate. Poor guy.
I decided to stretch my arms high above my head, allowing my shirt to rise up and expose my newly pierced belly button. My shirt was a very light pink and skin tight. The cold had set in and instantly hardened my nipples. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him staring at my tits.
