My best friend growing up lived next door. When we were young, it didn't matter we were the opposite sex. We went on adventures, swimming together, even the movies and stuff. We were similar enough, that it didn't matter. Then through school, we drifted a little, but only a little. I got into sports, she did girl things with her circle of friends. We stayed close though, and often did our school work together.
Though as she grew, she developed into a very attractive girl. By the time we were going to college, she had blossomed very nicely. And I had to hide my attraction to her. Laura is her name, and at the age of 19, she was 5"4. Auburn hair, and ample C-Cup breasts. The classic 'girl next-door' look.
The occasion I wish to tell you about, happened one Sunday evening. As usual at that age, we had both been out over the weekend. We had our separate social circles for our boozy nights out. Though we kept most Sunday's as our hang-out days. We usually vegged out in her room, binging on boxsets. Sharing stories of our drunken escapades, and nursing our hangovers. And we would treat ourselves to some kind of take-out in the evening. And this Sunday was going just like the others, until I decided to test out a little theory,..
You see, I had noticed that over the last year or 2, Laura would show a little jealousy over female nudity on anything we watched. At first, I thought it was a reaction to the feminism that seems to be entrenched in the education system. However, I had never really heard her talk about such things, either negatively or positively. So it left me wondering if it is actual jealousy, or was it just being uncomfortable seeing female nudity with her male best friend.
While I had suppressed my attraction towards her, I had no idea about any potential feelings, or even lack of, towards me. We were both 19, and we were both virgins at that time. We each had been with one other partner, but neither of us had done anything beyond the over the clothes stuff young couples engage in. And at this time, we were both single. And during our watching of GOT over the last few months, did see her getting verbally and visibly upset in regards to the large amounts of female nudity in the show. She even fast-forwarded some of it, as if she didn't want me to see other girls naked. It did get me thinking, and I had come up with a sneaky idea to test out my theory.
So this Sunday was going like any other. It was late into the evening, and we had shared a pizza, and watching some slasher horror. Again, a shower scene with boobies appeared on the screen, and she shouted "naked women again!" and went on to fast-forward the scene. I smiled inwardly, and decided once the film finishes, I would test out my idea.
An hour later, as the credits were rolling up the screen, I say to Laura "You know how I was at the pub last night, did I tell you that Sandra Fullman came in with a few of her friends?" Laura sat up right, looked at me and said "No you didn't, what was that slut up to?"
Now, the reason why I had used Sandra's name, is because Laura and Sandra used to be friends up until a few months ago, then they had a major falling out. It started over something trivial, and spiraled out of control. To the point that they now seem to hate each other. And the large group of friends that they shared, seemingly split into 2 groups. So with that explained, what I go on to tell Laura is pure fiction. It never happened, but I use a bit of information I had learned via some mutual friends to make it seem legit.
"yes" I say to Laura. "I have struggled to tell you, since I know the two of you are no longer the best of friends anymore. Though as you and I are close friends, I feel I shouldn't keep this from you."
Laura is now sitting bolt up right, staring intently at me, but not saying anything. She raises an eyebrow expectantly, waiting for me to continue.
"Did you know Sandra has had her nipple pierced?" I ask.
"Yes! How in the hell do you know about it?" she asks, almost furiously.
I shrug, and sheepishly tell her "She showed me."
