It was late. It was only a couple of hours ago that Tina had left David's apartment.
She knew David never remembered to eat when he was working on his book, so she decided to surprise him with dinner. She planned to stay only long enough to eat the Chinese food she had bought for them, give him a kiss that he would not soon forget and then let him get back to his writing.
Using her key, Tina unlocked the apartment door, quietly slipped in and looked around but she didn't see him. She looked over to where David's desk was in the corner but this time there was no David behind it. Normally, he would be sitting in the chair so engrossed in his work that he would not even lift his head when she entered.
Hearing strange noises, Tina put down the heavy reinforced bag of hot food and walked towards the bedroom door. Turning the doorknob slowly, she pushed it open and stood there looking at the smooth naked back of a lovely blonde. She just happened to be sitting upon a prone man, and that man just happened to be HER David. A gasp slipped out of her mouth before she could stifle it with her hand.
Tina could barely see because her vision was blurred from her tears. David leaned over and looked at her from around the naked body above him. He saw her standing stock still with big sad tears rolling down her cheeks. Suddenly, blinded from tears and pain, Tina ran out of the apartment. She was not even sure where she was going.
Tina wandered aimlessly, before she unwittingly found herself sitting on the steps of the brownstone building where her good friend Anita lived. She looked up at the dark sky just as a misty rain started to sprinkle on her face.
"How appropriate," she thought.
She was cold and shivering but more from shock than from the rain when Anita walked up and found her young friend literally on her doorstep.
"Tina? Tina, what is wrong? What are you doing sitting out here in the rain? Are you crying? She asked while she slipped a hand beneath Tina's arm and lifted her up to bustle her inside.
Tina was silent until she got into Anita's warm, dry apartment before fresh tears spilled out.
"Ohhh oh oh Anita" Tina stuttered, "David. It was David and a blond. Ttthey were tttogether... in bed!"
Anita opened her eyes wide in understanding and hugged her wet friend to her bosom and comforted her by rocking her in her arms.
"Shh, it is ok, hon... tell me later. Don't try to talk now. Let's get you out of these wet clothes and into a nice warm bath. Once you are warmed up and feeling better we can talk."
Tina was so used to Anita mothering her. Anita, being 15 years her senior, met when Tina got a job at the newspaper office where she was already working. Anita took the younger woman under her wing from that very first day and they became fast friends ever since.
Taking Tina into the bathroom off of her bedroom, Anita sat her down on the toilet while she bent over the tub to turn on the taps. Adding a large amount of bubbles to the steady stream of water made the soft fragrance fill the air. Turning back to Tina, who was just sitting there with sad, silent tears rolling down her cheeks; not sobbing, just tears, Anita lifted the tee shirt from her body. Obediently, Tina lifted her arms to aid her. Putting her arms around Tina's small body, she unhooked her bra and dropped the dripping garment on the floor with her wet tee shirt.
"Stand up, honey and slip off your sandals" Anita told her
As if in a daze, Tina stood up and slipped off her sandals and Anita unbuttoned her jeans before she tugged them down. They were so tight that Tina's panties came down with them until they reached her knees. Tina placed both her hands on Anita's shoulders to balance herself as her friend stripped off her jeans and then her panties.
"Get into the tub and lay back, you will feel better in no time. I am going to get us both a drink." Anita said as she helped her petite friend into the bubbly scented water and adjusted the bath pillow behind her head.
Leaving Tina alone for a few minutes, Anita scooped up Tina's soggy clothes and took them into her kitchen. She opened the doors that hid the apartment sized washer and dryer and started a load of Tina's clothes. Noticing hers were damp too, Tina stripped down and tossed hers in the washer as well. Naked, Anita went to the fridge, got out a bottle of wine, filled two Over-sized wine glasses and took them into the bathroom.
Anita sat down naked on the toilet seat and handed a glass of wine to Tina. Both naked women sipped their wine as if they were at a table in a classy restaurant rather than naked in Anita's bathroom. Anita placed her glass down on the tub's edge and told Tina she would be right back. Anita went into the adjoining room and put on a big white robe, then found her old pink one for Tina and took it back into the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet seat again, Anita dropped the robe on the floor and picked up both glasses of wine and handed Tina's to her.
