"Damn! I've spent years jealous that you snagged the most beautiful girl at State, but fuck that, now I can't believe you snagged the best cook at State," Larry sighed, "That was incredible. I've had meals at 5 Stars that wouldn't top this."
Brad grinned, "She's a great cook, but I have no doubt it will change how you look at her," he chuckled. In college and ever since Brad and Jennifer graduated and got married, their one single friend had overtly admired her attire and made subtle comments about the tall blonde. "But there's more," he said in a mock infomercial voice, "she got a promotion at work which doubled her salary, and on top of that, you ever heard of 'Tell me, Beth,' the advice column?" he asked his friend.
"You're not supposed to tell people who I am, "Jennifer protested. "Christ! Larry, you can't ever say a word to anyone," she said firmly.
"I might keep my mouth shut if you do something for me," he grinned as he stared at her chest. He put up his, hands, "Kidding, kidding. I would never...unless you both wanted me to," he sighed. "Sorry, no. I haven't heard of it."
"You've never changed," Jen chuckled, "Ok, just a flash," she said as she whipped up her tee and back down, briefly exposing her bra-covered breasts.
"Jen! No more wine for you," Brad sighed. "Let's see, one glass before, two here. Yeah, you're cut off."
Jennifer held out her glass as Larry picked up the bottle, "It's this sort of stuff that women and girls write in about," she said. They ask me how I'd handle...well, men suggesting sexual favors in return for something, or their husbands or boyfriends giving orders," she looked at each guy.
"Sorry. I was kidding," Brad said. "She's really popular. She answers every letter under the pseudonym but can only publish maybe 10% of the replies." He looked proudly at his wife. "Check her out in the News. Her column is in the Living section."
Larry took a sip of his beer, "You'll have to tell me about your favorites." he asked, "I'll be there is a lot you can't put in the paper."
"Yeah, those I write directly back, actually I write back to all, I just don't submit all of them to the editor. I get a lot of the workplace sexual harassment ones, boyfriends wanting...more, you know, anal, threesomes.
"I have a few good ones but my favorite, which I decided to publish since it was so well phrased was....hang on." She got up and grabbed her tablet.
Larry admired her wonderful ass wondering for the thousandth time how it would look without the jeans. Her breasts seemed a size larger than at school but her waist was still incredibly tiny. 'God! Look at that triangular thigh gap,' he thought.
Jen sat back down but not before noticing the intense look on their friend's face. She nodded toward Larry before addressing her husband, "I remember when you looked at me that way." She smiled and tapped a few times on the screen, "OK. Here's one. I'll save the best for last, 'Tell me, Beth, has your husband ever sent you to his boss's office to get a promotion? Last week my hubby and I met for lunch and when I went to kiss him goodbye he stopped me. He asked if I could take some papers up to the 12th floor to this VP's office. I was baffled as to why until I got there and was expected. Long story short it was three hours before I got to my car and my hubby got the Senior Director job. What would you have done? Signed Bent Over Forward.'"
"What did you say?" Larry asked, "Shit, that takes balls to set your wife up like that."
"Dear Bent, I hope he used protection since that is standard for...can I say it? Prostitution. Next time lay down the ground rules, hourly rate, no kissing, rear access is extra, etc.. I would also lay down the ground rules with your pimp/hubby as it is unprofessional to get into an intimate relationship with your pimp. You should not fish off the company dock and all that."
She looked at the two men, "I might have been a bit harsh on that one. I think what I told the next one was better, but hard to take back."
"OK. Listen to this one. 'Tell me, Beth, has your boyfriend or husband ever told you to do something as strange as this? Last night we had friends over for a party and my beau's old frat buddy helped us clean up. We were sitting in the living room and he looked conspiratorially at his buddy before ordering me to disrobe and crawl over and give the guy a...well it rhymes with Rob Lowe reversed. I refused and stormed out. Now he's not speaking to me. Has any of your men ever told you to do something like that? Signed, Ordered to Oral."
Brad shook his head, "Ok, I might have suggested you had enough wine, but I'd never do that," he sighed. "I'll bet you told her to dump the guy."
Larry nodded, "Not so uncommon. So what did you tell her?"
"Let's see...Ok, 'Dear Ordered, Actually, no, but remove the order from the situation. Was he cute? Would you have wanted to give him a Rob Lowe if you were single and you were on a date? If yes, then I think I would have played the game your boyfriend wanted to play. On the other hand, if this guy didn't interest me, I'd have laughed it off and told them both I was tired and left them to watch West Wing,'" she finished.
"Nice," Brad said, "I cannot believe any guy would do that." He looked at his old friend, "Is that weird or what?"
