A Roommate Unlike Any Other Vol 4
Chapter 5 Hard Choices
I spent the rest of the day and night drinking wine all alone. I thought of watching something mindless online but that would have meant sitting at the scene of the crime and for the moment, I had chosen to stay as far away from Hannah's room as possible. A restless sleep led to a late sleep-in and I awoke to the same feeling of dread that had carried me to bed the night before.
As I looked around my once comfy surroundings, my mind raced desperately for an escape. Perhaps I could pack up and move before she returned. Leave the city and start a new life where nobody knew me and hopefully, would never learn of the mischief I'd been up to. Though desperate, it was tempting but obviously not practical. I couldn't quit my job and I certainly couldn't walk away without learning of Hannah's intent. After all, she left not just my videos but all of hers for me to view. When she departed for the weekend, it was on an excited note. There was no anger in her voice or any sense of condemnation. And, now I knew why she wanted the two of us to spend the night alone.
I resigned myself to simply face the music. She had seen me masturbate. I had seen her do that and so much more. She had recorded me without my knowledge. But it was I who had first invaded her privacy. But as I looked at the situation as fairly as I dared, I had to admit feeling that her actions were justified whereas mine were just plain sneaky.
Hannah had said she'd be home at 8 o'clock. It was 3 pm and I had thus far avoided going back to her room until a sudden memory hit me and ramped up my anxiety. How could I have forgotten? The word document that was in 'my folder'. I had been so conflicted over seeing myself in those videos and realizing that I'd been caught, that I'd shut down the computer and forgot to go back to see what other surprises were in store.
With great hesitation, I went back to Hannah's room and turned on the computer. Glancing to the bedside table to my left brought back feelings of guilt and embarrassment. How so bold I had been when navigating solely by hormones and now look at me! Sitting upright, my whole body rigid with nervous anticipation, I clicked and opened the word document. To say that I was dumbfounded understated the case by miles.
My dearest Sarah, by now you have no doubt watched your videos. I can only imagine your mix of emotions and I hope that you are not angry with me. However, by now you have also realized that it was you who first began with the intrusive prying behavior and so I call this tit for tat. Except, you've witnessed and invaded to a far greater degree of my privacy than I have of yours. And so, for this reason, I have decided that the spirit of fair play demands there must be a means of equalizing the situation.
Now, before I continue, I want to make certain things abundantly clear. With most friends or roommates, a situation such as ours would have disastrous consequences including the likely result that neither party would be able to find the comfort to remain friends, let alone roommates. If I haven't let you know in so many ways already, I want you to realize just how much I cherish our friendship. You are the best roommate I've ever known and it is my sincere desire that we will continue to grow together and to remain the closest of friends for the rest of our lives.
It is for these reasons that I've had mixed feelings about manipulating you into the position you now find yourself but please remember that it was you and your prying eyes that set all of this in motion!
No doubt you are now experiencing a wide range of emotions. I'm going to suggest that you take a moment of pause and consider that nothing has to be wrong about where we now find ourselves.
I also ask that you be honest with yourself and look inward. How much pleasure have you felt in the last couple of months? Have you ever experienced such intense orgasms -- sorry, but obviously I've seen them.
I paused as suggested and tried to take it all in. Hannah's admission that she had orchestrated this all from the beginning, made me less conscious of my own guilt. I knew in my heart that I would continue to read on but not without a genuine sense of unease. I of course, wished to remain friends with Hannah. I admired her in so many ways and seeing her private personality in the many videos had only added to my fondness for her.
It was the sexual element of the decision that both excited and terrified me. I'd never had a friend reveal herself so completely. I'd never known such a sexually powerful woman before, let alone one who was ten years my junior. I'd never identified as bisexual let alone, lesbian but could not deny the eroticism I felt in watching her with others.
As I pondered what would come next, my mind was awash it what it would mean to me practically. I tried to convince myself I had no idea but I'd seen all of the videos. She was asking me to consider an entirely different dynamic to our relationship and I knew that a large aspect of that would have to be sexual.
I thought for quite some time about the content of the videos and wondered what new experiences could be waiting. I struggled to reconcile the new feelings and fantasies that had developed and what it meant about who I was and what I wanted. Already, I knew that my sexual boundaries were about to be redrawn in unknown territory.
If I was being totally honest with myself, it was my new attraction to Hannah that really tipped the balance. Though I'd only ever truly been attracted to men, I had to admit that versions of sex with women had inhabited my fantasy world over the years. The difference was that up until this point, it had always comfortably fit in the security of fantasy only. It was as much about the sexual confidence that Hannah demonstrated as much as the acts themselves. I was ready to read on.
Assuming you have had sufficient time to consider all that has happened, I sincerely hope that you will read on and agree to my proposal.
If you do not, we can agree never to discuss what has happened. We will promise to observe each other's privacy from here on in and carry on as the roommates we once were -- before we each secretly learned so much about one another.
On the other hand, if you share my assessment that every day can be a fresh new map that must be explored to its fullest, I ask you to join me on a journey of mutual fulfilment.
One final caution, the decision is yours however, if you decide that you aren't up to my soon to be proposal then please respect my privacy and do not read the directions that follow on the next page!
Good luck in making your decision. One way or another, I'll know what you have decided when I return at 8 o'clock Sunday night.
