Shortly after 5am, Lin got out of bed to go to the bathroom. It took her a moment to remember where she was, why she was naked, and why her co-worker Tom was in bed next to her. But mostly she had to pee.
When she was finished, she went back out to the suite's living room, where she saw Madison coming out of one of the other bedrooms, dressed in only her red panties, picking up her blouse that she'd dropped the night before just outside of the door. They both managed to avoid shrieking in surprise, but just barely.
"Shit," Madison said, "it's just you. I was afraid it was one of the guys."
"Though... would it really have mattered at this point?" Lin asked, walking around the room gathering up various articles of clothing.
"I guess we did show off a lot of ourselves last night," Madison said, thinking for the first time since last night about her boyfriend, who'd better never find out about any of this.
"Yeah, there's that," Lin said. "but also, why was it okay for Tom to see me naked,
and
fuck me, but not Bob or Alex or Jorge, you know? It's not as if Tom's my boyfriend or anything. These were just random match-ups. If I went back into your room right now and got into bed with Jorge, and you got into bed with Tom, this wouldn't be any more fucked up than it already is."
"You know, about that..." Madison said.
"Oh, you want to?" Lin asked, intrigued by the thought.
"No, no, I mean about the 'random' part. I'm not sure it
was
random."
"Say what?"
"I think Ally may have stacked the deck," Madison said. "She seemed a bit too happy to wind up with Alex. And of course Jamie's the only person in the office who didn't know Bob had a crush on her. So I think Ally just wanted to get it on with Alex, and this was her excuse. And she wanted to do Bob and Jamie a solid."
"And us and Tom and Jorge?" Lin asked, finally finding her panties behind a cushion of the couch.
"
We
were probably random. She just made sure she and Jamie ended up with Alex and Bob." Madison wondered whether she should be pissed off that they'd been manipulated (not that anybody was forced into anything). But mostly she was curious how Lin's panties came to be left behind in the living room last night.
Maybe we ducked into the bedroom too soon.
"Anyway, your idea about trading guys? Don't bother, Jorge was a bit of a dud. He gives great foreplay, but it's downhill from there."
"Very sorry to hear that."
"Just my luck. The one time I cheat on my boyfriend, and my boyfriend's way better. At least he always makes me cum. Oh, sorry, TMI?"
"No, it's fine. I mean, you know what I mean. Tom was a disappointment too. He couldn't wait to get me naked, and then, I don't know, he just sort of fizzled out." She stood there in front of Madison, still naked and holding her panties in her hand. "Is that it? Am I over-the-hill at twenty-four?"
"No, you're still cute."
"Cute? Just cute?"
"Okay, it just feels weird to say it. You're still hot."
"Why 'weird'?" Lin asked with a grin.
"Well, you're standing there naked and I'm telling you you're hot."
