It was Friday afternoon and my husband, and the kids were out of town on a school camping trip for the weekend. I was supposed to go with them and all week I was pressured by the other parents from school to 'come along and have a great time,' but when I reminded them of how I nearly drowned in the lake on last year's camping trip, they all left me alone. Of course, this was a lie, for I am an excellent swimmer, and I just faked nearly dying last year just to escape the drudgery of dealing with some of the other parents that were on the trip.
With the long weekend to myself, I was thinking about spending the night by the fireplace--in solidarity with my family of course--while I ate a takeaway, drank some wine, and masturbated to some BBC porn.
I was just about to sneak out of work, when out of the blue I got a text from my old university friend Megan. Her husband and daughter were off to see his mother for the night in Bournemouth, and she was wondering if we could get a quick drink after work. Of course, this would require me to put off my plans to touch myself indecently for several hours in the lounge at home, but Megan was always good for a laugh.
Megan and I first met in university years ago where we both studied Journalism. We hit it off, and after both of our initial dormmates turned out to be psychopaths, we shared a dorm room together for the next three years. I couldn't count the number of times she held my hair back when I was sick, or the number of times she saved me from going home with the wrong bloke. And now, although we both lived in London it had been a good few months--if not more--since we last managed to see each other.
We agreed to meet up at a pub not too far away from the university where she now taught as a lecturer in journalism. I wasn't familiar with the area where she wanted to meet, but it was only five or six tube stops away from my work. When I got out of the underground, it was already dark, cold, and threating to rain. As I walked to the pub, over the next ten minutes I must have passed nearly twenty perfectly good wine bars, pubs, and restaurants that I definitely could see myself spending the night in, until I eventually found this horribly scruffy dive bar, sandwiched between a chicken shop and a place that sells car tyres. For a second, I sincerely hoped that I got the address wrong, but no, there was Megan with her frizzy dark hair and gold rimmed glasses, standing outside the bar in her long black raincoat, smoking a cigarette.
I managed to creep up on Megan before she spotted me. "When did you start smoking again?" I demanded of her which caused her to jump. Then I thought about it for a second. "Oh no! In uni, the only time you would smoke was when you were stressed during finals, or you were seeing someone new, or something bad has happened."
"And there you are, late as usual," Megan shot back before she leaned in a gave me a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm not that late," I protested before I glanced down at my watch and realized that I was.
Megan gave me a dirty look before she quickly finished off her cigarette and tossed the remains into the street. "Come. Let's get a drink," she said as she pulled me into the dirty little pub. Thankfully the place was nearly empty, and no one other than the bar tender looked up when we stepped inside.
We quickly ordered two pints and sat down in a booth in the corner that Megan had already claimed as her own.
"Alright, why did you drag me here?" I said as I eyed Megan carefully. "I know damn well that this isn't your local pub. What's going on?"
Megan's eyes went big behind her gold rimmed glasses as she clasped her pint glass tight in her hands but didn't say a word.
"Ah, we're playing this game," I said as I eyed her carefully. Megan and I had been playing the 'guess what the other person is thinking while they sit there in awkward silence' game since Uni. I stared at Megan across the dark table for a second until I made my first guess, "You are Mark are getting a divorce!" I suddenly gasped.
"No," said Megan, "Mark and I are fine, sort of."
"He had an affair!" I guessed out loud. "With a man! Marks gay! I knew it!" I doubled down.
Megan laughed, "no, not Mark."
"Wait? What?" I was suddenly confused. "Are you saying that Mark isn't gay, or that he hasn't had an affair? Which is it?"
"In this case, Mark hasn't done anything," Megan confessed.
"If Mark hasn't..." I suddenly trailed off as Megan looked at me with her big brown eyes. "You had an affair!"
"Could you shout it any louder," Megan snorted. "I think the guy with the face tattoo by the bar didn't quite make out what you said.
"You had an affair," I whispered intensely as I leaned across the tiny table and cusped both of her hands.
"Yes!" said Megan as her eyes flashed and she grinned with her bright white teeth.
"Oh my god! I didn't think you were capable of such a thing," I answered honestly.
"What's his name? What does he do? Do you have a photo of him?" I asked a little breathless.
"Stop. Stop," Megan said as she held up her hands. "For my own sanity, let me first explain the whole story, before you jump to any more conclusions."
"But I like jumping to conclusions," I pouted.
Megan gave me a dirty look until I sat back and mimed zipping my lips shut.
"Okay," Megan said as she paused to take a sip of her beer. "About six months ago I was suffering terribly at work from brain fog, the sweats, and I had no libido whatsoever. I thought that I was losing my mind, or worse, I was certain that I had brain cancer, or whatever. I was fully prepared for death, but then Mark caught some documentary about women who were perimenopausal on Channel 4 with that presenter lady, you know the one with the bangs that I hate."
"I don't like her either," I quickly chirped in.
"He told me about the documentary the next day and we had a huge fight about it," Megan said with a shrug of her shoulders and an exaggerated roll of her eyes. "But the next week, he got me an appointment with the GP. I figured that the GP was just going to tell me that I was crazy too, but instead my GP immediately diagnosed me as premenopausal, and she started me on hormone replacement therapy that day."
"I started HRT about a year ago myself," I said as I held up my pint glass before we clanked them together.
"The HRT patches helped me immensely with the brain fog and sweats, but my libido was gone. I couldn't get excited for the life of me. Absolutely nothing worked. Mark and I hadn't had full sex in nearly a year at that point. So, a few months later during a follow up appointment with my GP, I told her about my libido problems, so she prescribed me this," Megan said as she quickly reached into her purse and pulled out a small pump medical applicator and handed it to me.
"Testosterone?" I said a little shocked as I read the label.
