"Eric would never cheat on me. That's just not the kind of guy that he is." Helen said then finished her glass of wine and poured another.
"Oh honey, there isn't a man on the face of this planet who wouldn't cheat if he had a chance and you know it." Kate said shaking her head at her best friend. "I caught him checking me out the last time he was at the house and I thought you deserved to know." Kate said. She knew better though.
"Well it's hard not to check you out, you're an attractive woman and you really like to flaunt it around the house." Helen said dryly.
It wasn't really a fair statement, she just liked to be comfortable in her own house and that often meant just a bra and panties. The same mostly male friends coming over to play Dungeons and Dragons for the last twelve years, most of them had accidently walked in on her in the shower at least once and she just didn't care any more. Kate was also a cosplayer and walking around the house dressed up as whoever the latest comic, anime, video game or cartoon character wasn't so much flaunting as getting used to the costume.
At least that was what Kate told herself when she was skipping around the house in a skirt that didn't quite cover her apple shaped rump.
"Yeah, okay fine. But I wouldn't tell you if I didn't think you needed to know. We've been friends for a while now and he was a friend but if he can do this kind of thing to you then he's not a friend of mine." Kate said taking a measured sip of her wine watching Helen's reaction.
"He's not cheating on me Kate and that's that." Helen spat finishing another cup of wine and pouring the rest of the bottle into her glass. "I don't know what you think you heard or saw or whatever but whatever it was, you made a mistake." Helen said.
Kate could tell that her former friend was trying desperately to convince herself that it was true.
"You're probably right." Kate said reaching over and resting one hand on Helen's thigh. "I'm sorry I brought it up."
Helen visibly relaxed. "No, no, you shouldn't apologize for that. I'd want to know if he was cheating on me. Then I'd cut off his dick and feed it to the dog." Helen snarled gulping down the last of the wine.
Kate tilted her head slightly. "I think we've got a bottle of vodka in the cabinet." Helen perked slightly. "Yeah, I'll go get that."
A half hour later Helen was passing out on the couch. "Hey, I have some errands I need to run but I'll be back." Helen nodded, or at least her head bobbed it was difficult to tell not that Kate really cared. She went to her room and quickly changed into a tiny black dress and then headed.
"You're late." Eric said walking up and grabbing her around the waist and lifting her into a kiss.
"I'm sorry, I got a little caught up." She leaned up onto the tips of her toes giving him a light kiss on the cheek. "Besides, I like to keep you waiting a little."
Eric rolled his eyes. "Well I've been waiting years to get a shot at you."
"You really know how to make a girl feel special. I mean if I didn't know better I'd say you're only gonna fuck me to get back at your wife for cheating on you."
"Isn't that the only reason your giving in after all these years." Eric asked quirking a brow.
"It's not the
only
reason." Kate said pulling away from the kiss and walking towards the elevator.
