Robyn & Lisa: Chapter 8
"College Town"
Robyn finished her last class for the day and walked back to her small office. She slumped into her chair breathing out a heavy sigh and wiped her brow with the towel around her neck. She leaned over her desk and reached for her phone and sighed again. There were no missed calls.
Four days had passed since Robyn and Lisa were together and not a word since. The thought of calling Lisa passed through Robyn's mind more than once, but she resisted and waited for Lisa to call. Still, the days went by and Robyn created excuses for Lisa her overdue, but inevitable call. There was no doubt in Robyn's mind that Lisa had to get settled and needed some time catching up with her boyfriend and so on, but four days is more than enough time to get settled, Robyn thought.
"Sweet Yellow, have I faded from you memory so soon?" Robyn muttered to herself leaning back against the chair.
Robyn punched up her schedule on the computer and was in the middle of reviewing it when she heard a familiar voice coming from her doorway.
"Hey you. Is this what everybody looks like after a hard 30 minute session?"
Robyn looked towards the door and saw her friend, Tash leaning against the frame. She turned her chair to face her and let her eyes give Tash a quick once over. She was wearing a simple yet formal pinstriped gray business jacket with a matching skirt hemmed above the knees. Her legs were covered with sheer black pantyhose and under her jacket was a white buttoned shirt that contrasted nicely against her cocoa powder toned skin. Her hair was straight and lusciously full sweeping down along the sides of her face.
Robyn smiled at her instantly recognizing her, "I don't know. You want to find out?"
"Sure. If the lesson is personal and how can I put this...one on one?" Tash said with a cock of her eyebrows.
Robyn laughed and waved Tash in and sat in the open chair opposite of Robyn. "So what are you doing here? Mindy's off today."
"How quick to assume. Aren't we friends too?"
"You're here to see me? What's going on?"
"I broke up with Emery."
"You did? When?"
"A couple of days ago."
"And?"
"And we broke up. That's it."
"Well, how did he take it?"
"Okay, I guess. There weren't any tears or anything."
"What did you say? How did you do it?"
"We were at his place and I told him pretty much what I felt. I told him I thought he was a great guy and that I liked him, but I wasn't feeling a connection with him. I told him I needed some time on my own and it wouldn't be fair to string him along. So if he met somebody else in the meantime, I would be cool with it."
"So you kept it open."
"Uh-huh."
"But is it? I mean, is there really a chance you'd get back together?"
"Well yeah. I mean he really is a great guy. He's nice. He's good looking. He's friendly..."
"What about in bed?"
Tash stopped and sighed.
"That's it, isn't it?" Robyn said.
"You know, I can't blame him for that. It's not like we never had good sex. We did. It's just been recently. I think it's me."
"Oh no!" Robyn said and stood up and closed the office door.
"Oh no, what?"
"That's why you're here, isn't it? That's why you came to see me."
"What? I can't visit my friends and say 'hi'?"
"Mindy's your friend too, but you wanted to see me because you're still on this bi-curious thing, aren't you?" Robyn said lowering her voice.
"Come on Robyn. Just once. I know you wanted to, so why not?"
"That was then. And besides, we're friends. I don't want to create any awkward tension between us."
"Awkward tension? What the hell have you been watching? It's just fucking. When has fucking ever created anything awkward between us or the rest of the gang?" Tash said.
"Yeah, but this is different. I mean none of us have ever had sex with each other."
"But we thought about it. I know you thought about groping me. I know Mindy wanted to fuck Emery. Well, I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure and we still hang out. Really, are we going to stop being friends if you fucked me?"
"Our relationship won't be the same. We'll look at each other differently."
Tash scoffed, "Did you read that line from a book? Yes, we're friends. Good friends, I'd like to think. I already know you wanted to fuck me. So what's the difference if we actually did it?"
Robyn sat back down and looked over at Tash staring back at her intently.
"So, you want us to fuck because you're having bi-curious feelings?"
"Something like that."
"And you want to fuck me, because I'm another bi?"
"No, because you're the only girl that I know that likes girls."
"And that's it? You're not into me in any other way? It's just going to be two friends fucking to cure your curiosity?"
"Well. You're the one that wanted to fuck me originally. Are all those feelings for me gone?"
"I still remember those feelings." Robyn said.
"I remember you staring at me when you thought I wasn't looking. I knew what you were thinking, but I never gave it much thought back then. I mean, I took it as a compliment, but now, the thought of it is kind of hot."
"Really?"
"Um-hmm." Tash said with a nod and bit her lip. "Robyn please. Just once? For me?"
Robyn shook her head with a smile, "Oh all right. What are friends for?"
"Really? You will?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god I can't believe! I'm so excited. Look at my hands. I'm trembling and I don't know if it's because I'm scared or happy." Tash said holding her hand up in front of her face.
"Probably a bit of both."
