Linda was sitting at her desk enjoying the tranquillity that came with a Friday afternoon. Many people found an excuse not to be in the office on Friday, especially today with the sun shining. It meant she could get on with tying off several loose ends without the usual distractions. The complex had several offices rather than the open plan scheme found at many and the lady who shared Linda's office only worked three days a week so Linda was able to enjoy this kind of tranquillity regularly. Not especially tall at 5 4, the early fifties blonde mum of two grown-up kids was something of an agony aunt come mother hen to the other women of the company, all of whom were younger than her, who made up the majority of the office workforce.
One of the few in the office this Friday was Amanda who appeared in the doorway, slumped against the door frame and sighed very heavily. Linda turned her chair slightly and pulled a sulky face "Well that doesn't look like someone who is looking forward to the good weather forecast this weekend." The young woman gave another heavy sigh and cast her eyes to the ceiling which prompted Linda to pat the chair that sat at the side of her desk and say, "Come on, you know you can tell me anything and it won't go anywhere."
Amanda slowly pulled herself up from the door frame but instead of taking the offered seat, she came up to the desk and perched herself on the edge saying "I really don't want to go home tonight. The prospect of another two days doesn't thrill me."
"What on earth is making you so glum?" the older woman asked as she placed her hand on top of Amanda's.
"I'm not sure how to phrase this" Amanda started but then paused eventually saying "We had words last night... and... and I'm not looking forward to resuming hostilities this evening."
"Oh dear, can I ask what the words were about?" asked Linda.
Another deep sigh preceded Amanda rubbing her hands together "I'm still coming to terms with how to phrase it out loud to another person... He wants to try another woman joining us in the bedroom department if you get my drift."
Linda was momentarily floored, of all the things she was expecting, that was not one of them. Trying to be analytical about Linda quizzed "I take it you aren't into women?"
Amanda was still looking down at the floor as she remained slumped over "It's not so much being into women; I am curious if that makes a difference. It's just the thought of him trying it and finding her more interesting than me."
As floored as Linda might have been originally, it was nothing compared to how she felt now. "Do you know this woman?" she asked for clarity.
Amanda shook her head "No, not yet. It was him floating the idea."
Linda started to regain her composure "What on earth are you afraid of? How could anybody outsmart you?"
Amanda shrugged as she lifted her head to look at Linda with half a smile "It's not so much the smarts. What if she's prettier than me or has longer legs or has bigger tits than me or perhaps more to the point, does things that I'm not willing to do?"
Linda smiled up at Amanda's sorry face and replied "So it's not fear of being with another woman? It's if they are better than you. Why would it matter if they have bigger tits; I'd say you are beautifully proportioned, lovely legs and very beautiful. I can't see any category where anyone would trump you."
Amanda gave a tired smirk "That's so nice of you to say so" as she placed her other hand over Linda's. "You're bound to say that though, aren't you?" she half asked.
Linda used her free hand to lift Amanda's face upwards so that she stared the younger woman square in the eye "I'll admit that sometimes I may say things to lift a person's spirits but believe me on this one; you are a fabulous human being and your partner should be glad of that fact. You're one of those people who are as pretty on the inside as you are on the outside." She sat back hoping that she had said enough to convince the younger woman.
It didn't appear to have worked though as Amanda simply shrugged and looked down at her lap once more "I just don't feel very beautiful at the moment."
Linda decided to turn Amanda's argument on its head when she said "Have you ever considered that he might be feeling insecure that you and this new woman may hit it off and decide to exclude him? Is this maybe the reason he wants another woman included rather than another man? How do you feel about being intimate with someone else full stop, let alone with another woman?"
Amanda shrugged once more "It's not something that sits comfortably with me if I'm being honest."
Linda's tone changed to one of resolution "Well then just come out and tell him that."
Amanda scrunched up her face as she tried to find the words "It's just that I so want to please him. We have spent too many years together for me to let this fail. It's just..." Amanda faltered temporarily "Well what I mean is... oh god, how do I say this? I'm curious about what it's like with another woman but I don't want to leave it to chance on the day and they both be disappointed in me."
Linda was struggling to find words to advise Amanda, this was so far removed from any of her own experiences but just then she had a thought "Why don't you say that you're not averse to the idea but you want to meet her first? If you don't get a good feeling, you step back and not commit to a course of action you'll later regret."
Linda could see from Amanda's expression that she was mulling the idea over in her head "I don't want him to go to a lot of trouble of finding someone to join us only for me to turn around and rain on his parade."
Linda was at a loss to suggest any further action and confessed "I really don't know what to say. It sounds like you need to experiment in a safe environment before committing to proceeding with the next step. Do you know anyone who is either lesbian or bi-sexual?"
Amanda shook her head, looked up and asked the ceiling "Oh god what am I going to do?" looking back at Linda she added, "I don't know anyone I could trust with that kind of secret -- other than you, of course." Just then a tear formed in the corner of Amanda's eye and Linda's heart went out to her young colleague. Amanda barked a mirthless laugh and added "I don't suppose you've ever done anything with another woman have you?"
Linda sat back straight and immediately blurted out "Oh no." Her face flushed immediately "I doubt anyone would want me based on my husband's lack of attention of late."
Amanda lifted her free hand and brushed Linda's cheek "You're very beautiful, your smile lights up any room and there is a reason that you have so many visitors; people want to spend time in your company. You always seem to have the right words for anyone's problem and I've seen the younger guys look as you pass by; you still turn heads so don't let me hear you say no one would want you."
"Really?" Linda asked as she leant back in her chair genuinely shocked at Amanda's words.
