Julie was late. As she said her goodbyes to Jeff, she lingered over a hug only to look at her watch.
It was 5:00 and Sylvia was going to be pissed off. They were supposed to meet for an early dinner and there was no way she would make it by 5:30.
She got to her car as fast as she could and hit the expressway. Yeah, Friday traffic, everyone trying to get home or away. It was busy. She managed to pull up to the restaurant at 5:50 and ran in. She gingerly sat down, acutely aware of her tender ass, out of breath and a bit flustered. Sylvia couldn't help but notice the care with which she sat down.
"I'm so sorry I got tied up Sylvia! I couldn't get away."
"What were you doing and why is your butt so sore?" Sylvia was letting a myriad of possibilities form in her head. She didn't like being kept waiting, even by her friends.
"Ummm, that? I'm not sure. Sitting too long maybe?" Julie was at a loss as to how to sidestep Sylvia's observation.
Sylvia was particularly perceptive with people. She had grown up having to look after herself in a rough neighborhood and was astute at picking out a motive or weakness. She also got a sense of power, having leverage over a person, even her friends. She loved them dearly, but it was almost predatory, if only to protect them from themselves.
"You're late because you just had sex, didn't you?" Sylvia asked with a critical gaze that pierced Julie's resolve.
"What? How could I possibly...?" Julie stammered.
At that moment, the server came and Julie was relieved to order a glass of wine and ignore Sylvia's question. Sylvia noted the relief and pounced on her again after they ordered.
"I didn't know you liked anal," Sylvia pressed.
"Sylvia!" Julie objected.
"Where were you?" Sylvia continued to interrogate.
Julie knew it was no use. Sylvia wasn't going to let up on her. "Carson Suites," she relented with an embarrassed blush.
"Who was it?"
"No one you'd know," Julie answered evasively.
"Look, Julie, I know you girls pretty well. Don't fuck with me. Now the question is, who ARE you fucking with? I know that Jim is working. You aren't doing something stupid, are you?"
"Okay," Julie relented. "You know that band we're going to see this weekend?"
"Yes."
"Cheryl knows one of the guys in the band, the bass player. They'd never met in person before a couple days ago, but they connected on this erotic story site. He writes stories for her to masturbate to."
"Masturbate? Why? I thought she couldn't handle Ted as it was," Sylvia was getting curious.
Julie sighed. "I don't think you're going to like this," Julie went on. "Cher gets turned on by stories about her friends."
"What? You mean like you, me and Tannis?"
"Precisely. The two of them work out ideas, he writes stories for her about the ideas. If they're good enough to make her cum, he posts them to the site."
"Stories about US on the internet? Fuck, that little bitch!" Sylvia was fuming now.
She paused her tirade as the server brought the wine. The two women ordered the special, some kind of fish. Neither of them was paying much attention to anything else right now.
"The names are changed," Julie attempted to defend Cheryl.
"So I assume it was this bassist/author/'what else does he do?' who took your ass this afternoon."
"Yes." Julie was now sheepish.
They continued through dinner and Julie told everything she knew, including what he was like and just how she ended up in his hotel room, ass up in the air.
Sylvia put on an air of forgiveness as they parted. She wasn't angry with Julie anymore but very annoyed with Cheryl. When she got home, she did the same thing as Julie and found Literotica, and using the ID Julie provided, found the author's page.
There they were: stories about Cheryl and fantasies that seemed to fit her perfectly. There was one thing that stood out to her and made her see red, though. From what she could see, she hadn't made an appearance in the stories except a passing reference to a phone call. Fuck Cheryl, she'd have loved to go to Britney Spears with her. The bastard completely ignored her as fantasy material.
"This is stupid. They're just stories," she tried to soothe her ego. She was looking for anything and decided to read some other stories.
She got a bit of a clue as she read a shorter story. It was kind of a turn on but jumped straight to sex. "Fake It to Make It", though, that was interesting. If in fact Cheryl was feeding details to this guy, she could see why maybe she wasn't a fixture in his stories. He liked blatant girly-girls -- lingerie, submissive, eager to please him. He did give them room to grow though. They weren't just ornaments.
