*This story is told from the perspective of three characters. These include Justin the boyfriend, Stacy the girlfriend, and Sam the best friend. There will be a heading with that character's name whenever the story changes to their perspective.*
Justin
I felt bad for my best friend, Sam. He's a really good dude, but unlike me, he didn't have a girlfriend. We had both just turned 21 over the last couple of weeks. After a failed attempt to help him meet some girls at the bars, we stopped back at the apartment I shared with my girlfriend, Stacy.
"You boys are back already? No luck I take it?" Stacy asked.
"Nah, couldn't keep any of the girls talking to us." Sam said.
"Awe, that sucks! Don't worry though, you are such a cute and nice guy. You will totally meet a girl soon." Stacy said, resting a reassuring hand on Sam's shoulder. Stacy was a sweet girl and an amazing girlfriend. She was 20 years old, funny, kind, and undeniably beautiful. Long brown hair, her eyes were a mix of blue and green, fair skin with a few faint freckles that you would never find if you weren't looking for them, and an amazing body. Slender, cute and perky breasts, toned tummy and legs, and a perfect smooth pussy. She waxed regularly, so she was always smooth. I had gotten to know her body well. Over the last few months, we had been going further and further. We hadn't had sex yet, but we had seen each other naked, a lot. A lot of handjobs and fingering and we even discussed trying oral soon. Stacy wanted to take things slow. She said she felt her last couple boyfriends used her for sex, so she wanted to take her time. I didn't mind, I've gone 21 years in life without having sex. I could handle waiting until Stacy was ready.
I was at a dead end helping my pal, though. I'm the guy with the experience and I should be able to help, but maybe he just lacks something I have.
Stacy
I felt bad for Sam. I could tell he was getting frustrated. This wasn't his first trip out with Justin to meet a girl. To be fair, even though Justin is a wonderful boyfriend, he might not be the best wingman. He's not exactly smooth. He likes to think he's a suave ladies' man, but if I were being entirely honest, if I had met Sam first, there is a very good chance I would be his girlfriend, not Justin's. Instead, here is this handsome and great guy, who mysteriously keeps striking out.
"Maybe we aren't going to the right places?" Justin suggested.
"Or," I interjected. "Maybe it's not the place, but the company?"
Justin and Sam glanced at me and then at each other.
"I'm serious!" I said. "Did you stop to think two dudes approaching women might intimidate them? If I go with it might seem more disarming. And I can give you a woman's perspective."
Sam shrugged. "I guess it's worth a try. Justin, you wouldn't mind?"
"Nah," Justin replied, shaking his head. "I know I have nothing to worry about." At least he's confident.
"Perfect! So Sam, coffee tomorrow? We can figure out all the deets?" I asked.
"Sounds great! I'll even buy!" Sam said.
Sam
I walked up to Nikki's Coffee, a small coffee shop literally on the same block as Justin and Stacy's apartment. Stacy already had a table when I entered. She immediately noticed me, a warm smile appeared on her face. "Hey Sam, over here!"
"Hope you haven't been waiting for long," I told Stacy.
"I just got here myself, no worries. I already got us each a cup, single sugar and a splash of almond milk right?"
"Uh, wow. Yeah, that's exactly how I take it. How in the world did you know that?" I asked.
"From last time Justin and I met you here. I overheard you ordering. It's just like I take mine, so it stuck with me. I suppose great minds think alike." Stacy replied with a wink.
I joined Stacy at the table, taken aback by her kindness. "Thank you, you're amazing. But I thought I was going to buy?"
"I guess you'll just need to beat me to it next time." Stacy said. "So, Sam, you're a good-looking guy. You're chill, sweet, funny. Why are you single?"
I laughed, "thanks for saying that. Guess it's confidence. Was always the quiet skinny kid until a year ago when I started working out. Now that I'm actually fit and more confident, I just don't know where to start. Justin insisted he was going to take me out and get me laid. Said he's become somewhat of an expert on women."
Stacy mid-sip from her coffee brought her hand to her mouth and stifled a laugh. Barely avoiding spitting out her coffee. She swallowed and laughed. "Oh my god, he's gotten such a big ego. I'm Justin's first girlfriend. I wouldn't say he's any kind of expert."
I shrugged, "to be fair, he attracted you. That's a big accomplishment, if you ask me."
Stacy blushed.
I continued, "if you don't mind me asking. How did Justin first attract you?"
"Well, we had a class together fall semester. I noticed Justin stealing glances at me first day of class. When we were leaving, he asked if he could walk with me. He was cute, so I figured why not? We chatted, he asked for my number and we texted. Funny thing is, Justin isn't the typical guy I go for. I had just broken up with my high school boyfriend a few weeks before. We had this long distance thing going on throughout freshman year, but it was just too much. So by the time Justin was talking to me, I was ready to move on. He was a good-looking guy who came by at exactly the right time."
"Wow."
"Oh, but he's a great boyfriend! For real, aside from being a bit to full of himself and clumsy with certain.. activities, I'm happy I am with him." Stacy took another sip of her coffee. "But, we are here to talk about you. What exactly is happening when you go out with Justin?"
"I don't know where it's going wrong. The times we meet girls, things seem to start out well. I've even had some approach me, but they seem to lose interest within a couple minutes of conversation." Sam said with a shrug.
"I feel like there is something you aren't telling me." Stacy narrowed her eyes. "It's Justin, isn't it? He's making things weird and scaring them off, right?"
"Um..."
"It's ok, you can be honest!" Stacy said, reaching across the table putting her hand on mine to reassure me.
