Inspired by a friend's true story; thanks Amelia!
Amelia was exhausted. What had she been thinking, shopping all day in her condition? In her seventh month of pregnancy, any prolonged activity, even something as simple as shopping, absolutely wore her out. But, Amelia thought, she needed to get out, and Erica was the perfect shopping partner. She was so vibrant, alive, daring. Amelia shook her head in astonishment remembering the flirtatious things Erica had done. Undressing sales clerks with her eyes, then describing to Amelia in intimate detail the imagined body parts hidden beneath the clothes.
Amelia and Erica had been friends for just a few months, just since she and her husband had moved into the new house. Though several years younger, Amelia felt that she was often the mature one when she and Erica went on these excursions. And if even half the things Erica had told her about her sex life were true, well! In a way, Amelia was able to live out her fantasies via proxy. Erica always told her the most intimate details of her trysts, and Amelia thrilled to hear them. More than once, Amelia had used her friend's stories as excellent masturbatory fantasy.
Arriving home, she wanted nothing more than to get off her feet for a while. The child within her was large, she felt as if she was carrying around a watermelon strapped to her tummy. As she pulled the car into the driveway, she could hear shouts coming from the back of the house. As she walked to the backyard, she was delighted to see that her husband Tom was enjoying the pool. With him were at least four of his friends.
"Hi, honey!" Tom yelled from the pool, "How was shopping?"
