Chloe knew Lucy from university. They studied in the same program together and often hung out. Lucy was also of Asian descent; her parents came from Singapore. A fact that made the two easily click. Lucy was shorter than Chloe and even slimmer, with a petite body and a cute face. A lot of guys had a crush on her.
In their freshman year, they had taken a trip to the Caribbeans and rocked the clubs there. Even today, Chloe fondly remembered how much they had teased the men there. One night in particular had stuck in Chloe's mind, when they both hung out with some guys, got drunk and stoned. In the end, Chloe, who was once again annoyed that she had a boyfriend at the time, had been the good girl and went home alone. Back then, she had still believed that sex with another man was out of the question in a committed relationship. Lucy, on the other hand, hadn't minded taking one of the guys to her hotel room. Chloe thought that was pretty brave considering their age and being far away from home. It was only then that Chloe learned that Lucy had a really dirty side and wasn't shy at all when it came to guys. However, their relationship was not as close as the one with Jade. They didn't tell each other everything and Chloe knew that Lucy had had sex that night, but they had never talked about the details. She wouldn't tell Lucy everything about Greg either. She had bluffed to Greg, but maybe the party would give her the opportunity to at least make Greg believe that Lucy knew something.
"Hi baby, I'm totally glad you're coming to the pool party this weekend, too," Chloe greeted her friend.
"Hiiii! Of course, I'm coming, I can't wait to see you again and of course your new guy. The weekend suits me perfectly, I still have Monday off," Lucy returned the greeting.
"Perfect! I don't have to get up that early on Monday either. Are you bringing someone with you too?" Chloe inquired.
"No, I'm coming alone. But there will be some cute guys at the pool party, I hope. Isn't that the whole point of a pool party? Everyone's already half naked there anyway. That makes it a lot easier to choose, doesn't it?" Lucy giggled.
"God, you're so shallow," Chloe laughed.
"Ha-ha, like you're any better. I guess you didn't pick your guy because he's a great singer or because he's so well-read, either." Lucy knew Chloe's preferences for tall men.
"Well, I'm just picky," Chloe defended herself. "By the way, my Korean ex from our fourth semester is coming too, remember him?"
"Yeah sure, he was delicious. Maybe I'll try my luck there. Doesn't your guy...what's his name again...doesn't he mind that your ex is coming?" Lucy was surprised.
"His name is Greg. I don't know, I haven't told him. And I probably won't tell him either. Jade and I are Korean, so it's innocuous then for some Korean to show up, too. And I can tell him that you think he's cute, right?" Chloe giggled.
"All I said was that he was cute when you dated him in college. Who knows, maybe he's gotten all fat by now, I need to see first" Lucy wasn't going to be set up so easily.
"Not at all. I haven't met him in a long time, but judging by his social media pictures, he's still fit. And he's great in bed, I highly recommend it." Chloe really liked the idea of having a lot of couples at the party, the more the merrier. Interesting constellations could develop from that.
"Well, if you're going to praise him like that, maybe I'll try a bite. Wait, are you just trying to keep me away from your Greg? Maybe he's more into me than into you," Lucy teased.
