Cyndi's Story
A slumber party when you're nearly 30? Well, why not? Kate and Jacob invited me to one last weekend, and it was more fun than I've had in ages.
We've been friends since college, but we don't hang out as much as we used to. Work, life, (but not kids at least, yay!), all that stuff. So when they asked if I wanted to come over for an evening of movies and popcorn and staying up late and spending the night, of course I said yes. Then we decided to make it a full-on slumber party and have me stay the whole weekend! They would put their big futon on the floor in the rec room and we could spend two nights watching movies until we crashed.
I needed a break, and really wanted some time with them. Especially Jacob. I have a big crush on him. Have since we met. A whole weekend around him sounded great to me! We flirt and tease each other all the time, maybe a friendly touch on his arm or shoulder. Or his butt. He's got a really nice butt. He does the same with me, and the best thing is Kate's fine with it! She even joins in sometimes. They've been together as long as I've known them, and our flirting has never bothered her. Which is good, cause I had packed my sexiest PJs.
I showed up in a tank top (no bra) and tight jeans around 7:30 on Friday, an hour late as usual, and we hugged and kissed hello. Jacob grabbed my backside longer than usual as we hugged, and I felt my nipples poking his chest. After a very fancy dinner of takeout pizza and soda we all changed into our pajamas, grabbed a bottle of wine and three glasses, and bounced down the half flight of steps to the bottom floor to watch silent movies on DVD until we fell asleep. They still have a working DVD player! They also have one of those cinema style large screen TVs with the light behind so you can make the room real dark, however that works. Anyways, Jacob says it's great, and he's the tech guy. "Kind of cold down here," I said.
"Maybe you should've worn real pajamas instead of... underwear," Jacob laughed, looking me up and down. I was wearing a loose-fitting pair of dusty pink satin short shorts and a tiny camisole in the same thin material. It covered my boobs and not much else. My arms and belly were coming out in goosebumps, and my nipples were poking against the fabric.
"Says the guy in mini-boxers, look at you!" I answered. Jacob's shorts were barely longer than mine, and just as thin. Was I teasing him or was he teasing me? Kate's tall, muscular form was more sensibly but still seductively dressed in skin-tight athletic pants and top. The stretchy material accentuated her muscular frame, and the crease between her butt cheeks made her ass look nearly as yummy as Jacob's.
"Anyways, don't complain, you know you like it," I said to Jacob. He shrugged in agreement. "I just didn't expect it to be freezing down here."
"I'm not complaining!" he replied. "You can wear skimpy shorts around me any time you like." I wiggled for him, the loose edges of my outfit swishing daintily and my boobs swaying under the camisole. "Also a top like that," he added, "Especially in a temperature like this." I turned to give him a profile view of my tits. Kate rolled her eyes. Yep, this was going to be a night of serious teasing. Weekend. We had a whole weekend ahead. Flirting with Jacob was the closest I had been to sex since I broke up with The Last Guy, geez, over a year ago. And now a whole weekend of it? Might be more than I could take. But I was gonna try my best!
He interrupted my daydreaming. "But yeah, sorry about the chill, the heat sucks down here. We're having a mini-split put in as soon as our contractor can fit us into their schedule," he continued.
"A what?"
"One of those heat pumps that mounts on the wall," Kate answered quickly. "Jacob's been going on about them ever since he got back from Europe." Jacob grinned and shrugged. "It will be nice to have some heat down here."
"Plus it can dehumidify in the summer," Jacob piped up. "And they're super effi--"
"Hush! See what I mean? Here, have a blanket." She tossed me one. It was big enough for all three of us. Oh boy!
I poured us each a glass of wine and plopped down on the couch. Jacob turned down the lights and settled in the middle of the sofa with me on his right and the blanket over our laps. Kate started the DVD and crawled under the blanket on his left.
"Much better," I said, leaning lightly against Jacob. Kate snuggled up against him on the other side.
"Yeah it is." Jacob was in his happy place for sure. I liked the way Kate was so accepting of our flirting, even when it got physical like this. Honestly I was more interested in snuggling with Jacob than in watching the movies. Obviously nothing was going to happen, but there was a devil on my shoulder saying "what if" as I settled in. And isn't that what flirting is all about?
It took about 15 minutes for Jacob to finish his wine. He handed me his empty glass and I set it next to mine on the side table, pulling the blanket up to my neck. Jacob and Kate did the same. I was so happy to have them next to me. Especially Jacob. I know he's happy with Kate, and he and I wouldn't work as a couple anyway. He's so concerned about getting everywhere on time, for starters. That would drive me crazy. But I hadn't even been on a date all year, and he was warm and strong and smelled good. My crush was flapping inside my chest like a sheet on a windy day. I knew it was silly, with Kate right there, but between the wine and the blanket and the scenarios I had dreamed up the past couple weeks, I kept slipping into the land of imagination. A land with a lot of images of his fingers, and lips, and tongue.
Kate was leaning on his left shoulder and I was looking at his face, trying not to stare too obviously, enjoying his profile in the light of the screen. Not exactly hunky in a typical way, but there's something about him that I find hot. Mostly the way he flirts, I guess. Confident but unthreatening. And fun. He's always fun. Plus he has those long eyelashes, and his lips are so... Okay, no. I shook my head to clear my thoughts, and he turned to me with a half-grin. "Caught you looking?" he asked.
"No!" I blurted, before remembering the game. "I mean, yes. I was looking. I thought you liked it when I looked at you." I pouted, nearly recovering.
"Don't worry, you can point those beautiful eyes at me any time."
"Oh get a room!" Kate said with a smile in her voice.
I looked around in mock confusion. "Room? Sorry, we've just got this blanket." I was grateful once again that she takes our flirting so cheerfully. Also that she couldn't see the images in my mind. Those had progressed from fingers and lips to something a little heavier. That might go beyond her tolerance level.
Jacob smiled at me in the half-light, and I melted. I took a breath, and pressed my bare leg against his. His skin on mine was tender, warm, and inviting. He made a happy sound as our legs touched. I think. Did he? Did it even matter? Nothing was going to happen with Kate right there. Still, nothing wrong with a nice flight of imagination. And I had an entire airline worth of those. The blanket wasn't the only thing warming me up. Okay, stop. I needed to get ahold of myself. I sat up and concentrated on the TV.
But I kept my leg pressed against Jacob. And he didn't move away.
There was some motion under the blanket, and I felt Jacob's hand on top of my thigh. My eyes went big, and he grinned at me. Okay, more flirting. Settle down, Cyndi, he touches you like that all the time. It wasn't calming my state of mind though.
"Mmmm," I hummed quietly.
