"Men are such fucking assholes!"
Nina sat quietly and watched as her best friend paced the small apartment.
"I offered him everything. And he dumped me."
"Well, Mary, you can't be sure about that." Nina said, trying to sound diplomatic. Truth was, she hated this guy she never even met. Although she denied it, Nina could tell that Mary was upset. And she had every right to be.
Mary stopped and looked at her friend.
"Three weeks Nee. I haven't heard from the bastard in three weeks. And I thought older men were supposed to be more mature. No phone call. No email. No text. Nothing. How could he?"
Mary whirled around and started pacing again. Nina watched her friend with a sad look. Yep, Peter had really done a number on her. She can still remember how excited Mary had been when she told of his impending visit. She had tried to warn her about meeting men on the internet. But Mary had sworn Peter was different. He was a gentleman from England. They had been corresponding for almost a year. He had even planned a visit. Mary had been over the moon.
"Be honest Mar, how much did you really know about him?"
"I thought a lot. Hell, he could have been lying to me the entire ten months." Mary flopped down beside her on the couch.
"I'm such a fool. I haven't felt this foolish since ninth grade."
"Really? What happened then?"
"I'd rather not talk about it. But I thought I got wiser with age."
"So you live and learn. Men aren't like normal people. They don't care about anyone but themselves." Nina handed her a glass of wine.
"Face it babe, this was all a game to him. Just be glad you found out now before you made a bigger fool of yourself."
"You're right. And I was even going to make his fantasy come true. I looked for a girl and everything." Mary sighed and took a deep gulp of wine.
"A girl? What was his fantasy?"
"Two women. I was going to do that for him."
Nina laughed. "Really Mar, you and another woman."
"What's so funny?"
"I'm sorry. But I just don't see you into that. That's all."
"Yeah, well, I'll have you know that I'm quite into it."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that I have toyed with the idea of being with a woman before Peter came into the picture. I guess you could say I was fulfilling both our fantasies." Mary said on a deep sigh.
Nina sat up and finished her glass of wine. She sat quietly for a moment before looking back at Mary.
"Ya know, it you still want to fulfill your fantasy, I can help." She offered hesitantly.
Mary looked at her. "What do you mean?"
Nina took a deep breath. Ok, so they were best friends. But not even Mary knew that she was bi. It freaked a lot of her family and friends out. The last thing she wanted was to freak out Mary.
"I mean, that I have been with women. And I would love to be with you. Especially your first time."
There. She said it. Mary was a very beautiful woman with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. Her body wasn't slim but voluptuous. Her breasts were an easy size 44 DD. Nina had often thought about being with Mary.
She kept a close watch on Mary to read her expression. At first she wasn't sure if she even heard her. Then she watched as she sat up and placed her wine glass down next to hers on the coffee table.
"What do I do?"
Nina smiled.
