Debbie and I met almost 15 years ago when she got hired at the office I worked at. We hit it off immediately. We had more than a few things in common, two of them being shopping and men, or sometimes just shopping for men. Lol. She is eight years younger than I am and really so beautiful. She was twenty-five and I was thirty-five when we met. (Okay okay... that's ten years difference but who's really counting?) I've always envied her looks and figure, she is simply gorgeous. When we got together for an evening of partying she would attract guys like bees to honey.
Debbie was single at the time and I was married. When shopping together we'd hit the upper end stores and after a few times out shopping we began going into the changing rooms together. It saved stepping out of the changing room and critiquing one another's outfits. We might shift or pull or tug on each other's clothing or help remove one another's bra or re-snap it. Nothing sexual was ever thought about any of this and it's not that unusual for women to accompany another female friend into the changing room.
As far as our clubbing was concerned we would chat with each other until the guys started coming over for a dance or conversation. Sometimes we would split up for a while but we'd always hook back up before the evening was over and would leave together...usually. It wasn't all that odd for her and me to fast dance together on occasions. That would really get a few guys attention. This went on for a few years with nothing unusual happening between us.
About twelve years back is when things began to change. From the beginning of our friendship we would see and greet one another with a hug and a little kiss on the cheek. Again, something that is normal and accepted between friends...girlfriends that is. Then, when parting for the evening we would again hug and a small kiss on the cheek.
