She'd hoped that the distance she was feeling between them was only in her head as it most often was, but she wasn't sure how to broach the subject without it turning into a huge fight between them. Her roommate had been her closest friend, her confidant and her lover going on two years now, and she wasn't ready for their relationship to fall apart just yet. Perhaps she'd just keep to herself this time and see if things didn't play out positively just as they had the few times before.
Faith and Robin had met each other on one of those websites Friend Finding websites three years ago and had gotten along smashingly ever since. Because they'd both been living in the same city and wanted to continue doing so, they decided to begin living together shortly after they'd made the move from e-friends to friends-in-the-flesh. They'd managed to keep their sexual feelings for each other to themselves until the very first night they slept in the same apartment, when Faith had climbed into Robin's bed and initiated a long night of kissing, exploring and fucking.
Since neither of them were interested in long term relationships, they were able to successfully navigate the minefield of their own sexual friendship and the various outside lovers that each of them had known throughout their short years together. They were careful never to share lovers, as the possessor beast was sure to get in the way of an enjoyable menage a trios experience, and neither one of them wanted feelings of ownership getting in the way of their good thing. They worked out ways of keeping lovers out of each others' space, and were always willing to accommodate any privacy requests that the other wished for any number of reasons.
Their relationship and living situation had worked so well because they were particularly diligent about communicating with one another about everything relevant not only to their lives together, but their lives apart as well. Lately, though, Robin had felt a bit of cold shoulder, as though Faith was trying to push her friend away. They hadn't spoken to each other much in the past few days, but Robin had chalked that up to the fact that they'd both been working so much and were generally in a state of mental and physical fatigue. She'd only become anxious about the reticence between them when, early one friday morning, Faith had come into the kitchen, grabbed an apple to go, and left without saying a single word. This caught Robin off guard because even during those temporary lapses in communication, when they weren't terribly happy with each other, they always said hello and goodbye. Outwardly, Robin appeared her normal, jovial self that day, but inside she was fighting an overly persistent doubt that was filling her head with an unfair amount of distress.
