"How do you know when a guy is cheating on you?" Tessa asks her best friend, who is currently modeling a pair of sleek Jimmy Choo's that neither of them can ever afford, even if they pool their meager resources. The clerks at the store can tell this and none have even bothered to waste any time and offer to assist them.
"Josh? He's not cheating on you," Natalie assures her dismissively checking out her classy footwear in the mirror. "He's a nice guy," she goes on, then walks away like she's strolling down an imaginary catwalk.
"Fuck, you look so hot in those. Why can't I have legs like yours?" Tessa hates her own legs, stumpy, big thighs, and she lives in fear of developing cankles one day like her mother had.
"You have great legs, Tess. Thicc is in now. And I'd trade my legs for your booty any day." Natalie strides back toward her friend, smacking her narrow ass as she did, ramping up the sexy as high as she could in public. It was all Tessa could do not to grab her and grind all over her right there in the store. "Did Josh say something?"
"No," Tessa sits down on the bench opposite the full-length mirror. She doesn't like what she sees. Her legs aren't as long as Natalie's, her boobs aren't as big, and her hair certainly isn't as blonde. What did Josh even see in her in the first place? "I just...nothing."
Natalie sits down next to her and takes her hand. "Tell me, did he do something? What's going on?"
"It's probably just me, but something is...off with us lately. He used to want sex with me all the time, but now he hardly even looks at me. I got out of the shower the other day and I was walking around the apartment naked and he barely noticed. I don't think I turn him on anymore."
"Oh, please, you're the hottest piece of ass he's ever had."
Tessa notices Natalie's cleavage...it's too enticing not to. She can't help it, her boobs are the star of the show when she wears anything other than a turtle-neck. Even then, she's still turning heads. The universe isn't fair.
"And the sex isn't like it used to be. He always made sure I got off, but these past few weeks he just blows his load and he's done. It sucks."
"Have you said anything to him about it?"
"Yeah, nothing turns a guy on more than his bitchy girlfriend nagging him about not satisfying her in the bedroom."
"Okay, well...that doesn't mean he's cheating on you."
"Even if he's not, I'm sure he's thinking about it. Fuck, the past couple of days I've started thinking about it myself."
Natalie's eyes get wide. "You're going to cheat on Josh?" she asks excitedly.
"I said I thought about it, not that I'm definitely going to do it."
"With that dude at the gym? Glutes-guy?"
Tessa doesn't answer right away as she gets lost in imagining Glute-guy's muscular ass and that sexy hair of his. Since when did a guy's hair become a huge turn-on for her?
"No, I only told you I thought he was hot, not that I was going to do anything with him, even if he wanted to."
"Why wouldn't he? You've got a rockin' bod, and those awesome dick-sucking lips of yours."
Tessa sighs and looks at her friend, struggling. "Life would be so much easier if you had a dick. Then you could be my boyfriend and I'd suck your dick anytime you wanted."
Natalie smiles at that. "I never wanted to have a dick as much as I do right now," she admits to her friend, doing all she can to hold back from grabbing Tessa and kissing her. Sure, she'd kissed a few girls before, but she wasn't a lesbian or anything...not really. But, the idea of sex with her friend had come to mind on more than one occasion - usually while masturbating or watching porn.
"Since that can't happen, maybe we should stop thinking about it." It looks like Natalie is having as difficult a time keeping her hands to herself as Tessa is. "Instead, let's think about putting Josh to the test."
"How?"
A wicked little smile comes to Tessa's lips. "He always says how hot he thinks you are--"
"Oh, stop it, he does not!" Natalie says to cover her happiness at hearing that. She knows she's pretty and all, but to have it confirmed by a guy is always a thrill. Even if it's hearsay. Natalie always was a little jealous of Tessa. Josh is really cute and has a nice body. And it doesn't help that Tess is always telling her how good he is in bed. They shouldn't, but those stories always make her pussy ache with desire. Not just for sex, but for sex with Josh.
But she's too good of a friend to do anything about it. She had a supposed friend sleep with one of her boyfriends in high school, so she knows what that's like, and how much it sucks. She would never do that to someone she loves as much as Tessa. "Okay, then, what kind of test are you thinking about?"
"I saw it on Tik Tok. You call him up and ask if you can come over and hang out without me there. If he says yes, then we know he's a cheater."
Natalie makes a face. "No, we wouldn't. He could just be acting like a nice guy. That wouldn't prove anything."
"Okay, you're right. We would have to make sure he knew exactly what you were suggesting. How about if you call him and ask if you can come over to 'Netflix and chill' and you don't want me to know about it? If he says yes to that then he's basically agreeing to have sex with you. Right?"
"Yeah, I guess that's true." Just thinking about making that call is getting Natalie wet in her panties. She can't admit that to Tessa, and she hates that her body is reacting like that. So embarrassing. She is a college-educated 24-year-old, not a horny teenager with a stupid crush on some boy. "So...then what are you going to do if he says okay?"
"I'm going to dump his sorry ass, that's what. But hopefully, it won't come to that."
"Of course it won't. He would never cheat."
"With you, he would. You're beautiful. With those legs, your perfect tits, what guy could say no to you?"
"There are plenty out there, trust me," Natalie complains.
"That's only because you're always putting off 'don't-fuck-with-me' vibes. Guys are scared of you. What do you expect?"
"This again? C'mon, I'm not like that at all."
"When was the last time you went out on a date?" Tessa asks, sure of herself.
"Well...it's been a while, sure...but...okay, um...about six months ago."
"And how did that go?"
"Terrible. He was a total douche nozzle. Why are you asking me this? I already told you."
"Humor me," Tessa says calmly.
"All he kept talking about was his mother and how he didn't like the guys she was dating since her divorce. He totally sucked, but that didn't have anything to do with me!"
"And did he ask you out in person, or online?"
Natalie thought about it. "It was a text, but so what?"
"So nobody wants to ask you out in person because you come across like a total bitch and guys don't want to take the risk. Don't act like you don't know this."
Natalie shrugs, but maybe she has a point. Perhaps her firm belief that all guys are jerks is infecting her..."vibe." But if all guys weren't jerks, she wouldn't be the way she is. It's their problem, not hers. Then again, not getting laid in almost a year is definitely her problem...more than she's willing to admit to anyone...including herself.
Maybe if she didn't spend so much time lusting after her best friend's boyfriend and being insanely jealous of her it wouldn't be so bad. The temptation was almost too much, but she'd never betray Tessa like that and sleep with her boyfriend. She could be a bitch when she wanted to, but not like that.
