Kristi wondered what these feelings were all about. She was married with three children. Her marriage was almost a fairytale according to her closest friends. Yet here she sits wondering what it would be like to make love to her best friend and her husband.
********************
Kristi had been involved in a threesome before, once during college. It had been her boyfriend, Jake's, idea. He convinced her bringing a friend of a friend into their bed would be exciting. She admitted she was Bi-curious and said okay.
They asked a friend of her to see if her bisexual friend was busy the next weekend, after finals. Kara ended up coming over and they had a lot of fun. Kristi thought it was all ok until she found her boyfriend fucking Kara and her sister in their apartment. Kristi kicked them all out, telling Kara and her sister what sluts they were and asking Jake why. She told him she would've done it again, all he had to do was ask. Kara said Kristi would regret it.
The next day, there were pictures of Kristi sucking on Kara's clit as Jake was fucking Kara's pussy. Of course Kristi was the only one whose face you could see in the pictures and she was humiliated. Everyone knew, friends, professors, everyone. She was so ashamed she left the university to never go back.
After leaving in March of 1994 with one semester left to graduate, she knew she couldn't go home. Her parents had somehow found out of her "playtime activities" and made it clear they were NOT happy. Seattle had been a place she had dreamed of moving after finishing her computer science degree, what better place to try to make it; surely someone would want her knowledge regardless of the lack of degree. Unfortunately for Kristi, she was wrong.
The companies she dreamed of working for either wanted experience or a Bachelors degree, neither of which she had at this point. After weeks of hunting for that perfect job she realized her savings was dwindling. Knowing she could not return home after dropping out of college Kristi decided she needed to find something, anything to bring in money, she knew she could always go to night school to finish her degree and then quitting whatever job she had at that point would be easy.
Scouring the two Seattle papers everyday had given her no hope of computer science jobs. It seemed all that was in Seattle was used car positions, construction jobs and coffee shops looking for baristas. Kristi surely was no salesperson and definitely had no interest in anything construction related, that was what her dad had done his whole life and she new she would not survive doing what he had done.
Kristi had her mind made up for her one day as she walked into the Starbucks right down the street from her apartment to get a mocha and scour the classifieds once again. As she opened the door she noticed the help wanted sign hanging from it. Hmmm she thought, should I? Ordering her Venti mint mocha she sat at the corner window table, the same seat she always tried to get. It was great for people watching in between pages of classifieds.
After looking at page after page for nearly an hour, Kristi looked out the window to find it had started pouring down rain. "What is going on" she thought, it had been a sunny day when she got here and she knew her choice of clothing for the day would give her no protection from this miserable rain. Back to the counter Kristi went, deciding another cup was in order if she was going to sit and wait this out.
As she ordered her drink she noticed that the young redhead helping her had "Lisa-Manager" on her nametag. She had talked to Lisa nearly every day as she ordered her drink here. She hadn't known her name nor did she know that she was the manager.
Kristi realized how similar Lisa looked to herself. They both were what many would call fat. Kristi preferred the term BBW as she had been called by her last boyfriend. Lisa had curves in all the same places Kristi did though Kristi though Lisa may have slightly larger cupped breasts than her own 40D's but their height and build were nearly identical.
Kristi stood talking to Lisa as she waited for her mocha to be completed. After a minute, Lisa realized the barista had made a mistake in making the mocha for Kristi. She asked Kristi if she wanted to go back and sit down and she would bring her the drink once it was re-done. Kristi agreed and slowly walked back to her table, noticing the place only had two other people inside, must be the rain she thought.
Browsing more of the daily classifieds, Kristi almost forgot she was waiting for another coffee until she heard Lisa's voice behind her. Putting the paper down she reached for the nice warm mocha. Lisa stayed there a minute making small talk, noticing the paper opened to the classified section...the help wanted section specifically.
Their talk continued for a few minutes before Lisa asked Kristi if she was looking for work or just seeing what was out there. As Kristi told Lisa about looking for computer industry jobs and how that was not going so well, Lisa suggested trying to work here at Starbucks.
Kristi said she had seen the sign and was about ready for any kind of work. Lisa quickly went behind the counter and grabbed an application and brought it back telling Kristi to fill it out and she would do her interview when she was finished.
As Kristi filled it out she wondered what her chances were of being hired. Would she be able to work days so she could go to school at night? She still had enough in her saving account to make it through the few courses she needed as long as she was bringing in some money to pay the basics while she took a night class or two each quarter.
Minutes later she was walking to the register to meet Lisa, asking her if now was a good time or did she want Kristi to come back later. Lisa told her it was a perfect time since it was so dead right now. The two of them sat back in the corner where Kristi had been for the past few hours, talking first about the application and job but quickly turning to families and friends, the approaching holidays and hobbies they both shared.
Two days later Kristi found herself waking to her alarm at 5am. It was the earliest she had been up since leaving college months earlier. Quickly getting ready she was out the door at 545, on her way down the street to her new job. Her first day was training, sitting in a small office in the back watching hours of videos on Starbucks, beverage preparation and customer service. She learned more in the 4 hours sitting there than she had ever though possible. "All this for coffee" she thought to herself.
At 1015 Lisa was peeking through the door to see how Kristi was doing. She told Lisa she had just finished the movies and was going to see what else she needed to do. Lisa suggested they go to lunch together. Since it was her first day Lisa said she would buy, giving them time to get to know each other and she could answer any questions that Kristi had.
