Marcia is an old friend of mine. She lives next door and I've known her forever. We've been friends, enemies, strangers and friends, depending on our ages and the different stages of our life. Not boyfriend and girlfriend, but just a friend of the opposite sex. Someone who's just there and you talk to them.
We were both eighteen now and currently good friends. We'd gone out on dates together but it was always as a group and Marcia and I were just loosely paired the way people do in groups. No commitment, and no guarantee we'd leave the party or whatever together. There'd been occasions when we didn't and it didn't bother either of us. Just friends, as I said.
It was spring and it had been a warm day. My parents had gone away for the weekend and I knew Marcia was home alone. Rather than both of us hang around our respective houses I wandered over to her place and asked if she'd like to wander down to the mall and look around.
She was agreeable, but glanced down at herself and told me to come on in and wait while she got a different top. Not that I had any objection to the top she was wearing. Like I said, it had been a hot day and Marcia was wearing jeans (tight) and a bikini top. I could, however, understand her not wanting to parade around the mall in a bikini top.
I wandered down to her room with her, expecting her to just grab a t shirt or blouse. To my surprise, with a casual admonition for me not to look, she half turned away and took off the bikini top. Don't look, be damned. She had a wonderful set of knockers and I was looking good and hard.
"Um, Marcia, did I ever tell you I was gay?" I casually asked.
She spun around to look at me, her mouth open in surprise. I nearly had a heart attack at the full view I now had, breasts bouncing nicely with the force of her turn.
"No. I had no idea. How long have you known?" She sounded quite shocked.
"I probably never told you that because I'm not, so I was wondering what gave you the idea that I was."
She blinked, looking puzzled.
"Why would you think that I thought you were gay?" she asked.
"Because," I said, reaching out and lightly touching one of those lovely breasts, "when a lovely young lady, such as yourself, starts taking of her clothes in front of a young man, such as myself, it's for one of three reasons. She thinks he's gay and safe, she's an innocent idiot, or she wants him to make love to her.
Now you don't think I'm gay, and I've never thought that you were an idiot. Innocent maybe, but not an idiot. That leaves option three. You want me to make love to you."
"What! You have got to be joking. I don't, that is I wouldn't, I mean, you wouldn't, you're just a friend. You shouldn't be thinking things like that."
"I know I'm a friend. Can you think of a friendlier thing to do? You have to know that you're a very attractive young woman. Why the hell wouldn't I want to make love to you?"
Marcia was now blushing, suddenly aware of her half naked state, and her arms were folded across her breasts, trying to hide them.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled. "It didn't even occur to me that you'd want to, ah, I mean, I didn't think you were the type, ah, I'm not putting this very well, am I?"
"No, you're not," I agreed, letting my amusement show. "Are you trying to say that you didn't think I'd be attracted to you that way?"
She nodded frantically.
"Then you're low rating yourself," I said. "Any man I know would be happy to seduce you. Why on earth would I be different?"
"Anyway, it was only my top I took off," she said defensively. "It's not as though I really stripped."
"I know," I said amiably. "That's why I thought I'd give you fair warning before you took your jeans off."
"I wasn't going to take them off," Marcia stated firmly.
"Mmm. I know. But what are your intentions now?"
I reached over and flicked the button at her waist open. A little tug released the zip a few inches, but that was all I did.
"What are you doing? You're not taking them off," she protested.
"Again, I know. I'm just making it easier for you to take them off. All you have to do is wriggle out of them." I was all innocent smiles.
"Hah. You just insinuated that if I did that sort of thing you'd, ah, you'd um. . ." Her voice faltered and she blushed.
"True. If you do continue to take them down I will indeed 'ah, um' as you put it. So are they coming down or not?"
"You're asking me to let you make love to me?" she said softly, sounding shocked and a trifle scared. "But I've never, ah, I mean I've never thought of you like that."
"You mean you've never done it before," I said calmly. "We all have to start sometimes and who better for a first time than a good friend who will be careful."
"How about a fervent lover who thinks the world of me," she snapped.
"No. You definitely don't want one of those for your first time. They'd be so frantic to take you that they'd make a terrible mess of it, probably hurting you badly and going into a premature ejaculation leaving you disappointed. No, I'm a far better choice. We've got the house to ourselves, so why not?"
Marcia looked a little indignant at my dismissal of a fervent lover.
