The story you are about to read may be true, the names have been changed for reasons that will become obvious.
It was about our fifth visit to this place. As bars go it was a middle of the road place with a combination of guys and gals looking for anything from a quick hook up to a more lasting relationship. Pam and I were not what most, if any of the single men were looking for but we had our own agenda and did not care if anyone hit on us. You see I am not what anyone would consider an attractive woman and neither is Pam. I am fairly tall at 5'-10" and my build is what some may politely refer to as big boned. My eyes are a bit too wide for my face and my nose is large and slightly crooked. Pam is short but muscular, what some would call stocky but not to her face if they did not want their nose flattened. She once won an arm wrestling championship beating a 220 pound muscle bound guy in the finals. We both may have had one or two dates during our 30+ years but the guys we attracted were few and sub human.
Growing up as part of the out-crowd leaves lots of time for school. While other girls were making out with boys, going on dates, to dances, parties and other recreations, those of us with easily overlooked looks had plenty of time for study. What we lacked in a social life was easily filled with academics. Scholarships for women with our level of brain power put nearly all career paths before us. I chose microbiology with some undergrad work in behavioral psychology while Pam went into medicine coming out a doctor. Still, professional life, while demanding and financially satisfying, left us both very much alone and isolated at the end of the day. We were the women men never see as women.
Over the years we discovered we liked each other's company but only in a semi-lesbian way. While we were willing to settle for each other we still wanted a man in our life, a VERY specific sort of man and this brings us to why we were at this particular bar. One week ago we saw him come in with two of his buddies. He stood about 5'8" and weighed maybe 140 to 150. His looks were decent and he had a great smile. Best of all he never tried to hit on the babes the way his buddies did. He usually wound up alone at a table nursing his beer and watching the action. We watched him do this for three nights before we made our first move.
The bar was crowded that night and we walked up to his table with me in the lead. "Mind if we sit here?" I asked, "this place is terribly crowded tonight." He agreed and passed our first test. Introductions followed and we learned his name was Steve, he was a teacher and lived alone. Test two, check.
Steve passed test three by allowing us to engage him in conversation and showing an interest in many of the things Pam and I enjoyed. While there was no spark and definitely no attraction on his part there was also no outright rejection of either of us. It developed that we all three liked spy movies and a new James Bond was coming out next week. I took a chance and asked Steve if he would like to join us. He agreed and we offered to pick him up at his place next Friday. Test four, check.
Friday's movie was great and Steve even went along with our last minute suggestion to grab a drink before taking him home. So far we enjoyed his company and he seemed to be OK hanging with us. Over the next few weeks we planned a few more of these casual get-togethers. They were always platonic and chaste; just three buds hanging out together. Sometimes either Pam or I would call Steve up and we would just chat while watching the same show on our individual TVs. Steve always seemed open to our suggestions and willing to go along with our plans. Once in awhile he would try to beg off or say he was not interested in our invitations but we worked on him and he always gave in and went along. Every time he tried to pay for his share either Pam or I refused to let him with the line that it was our contribution to the education system. Test five, passed
It was now late June and Steve's school was shutting down for the summer break. It was another Friday night and another action-adventure spy thriller was the plan for the evening but this time with something extra. Over the past few weeks we had been testing and grooming Steve for this next part. Friday came and I showed up at Steve's place alone. Pam was called in for an emergency surgery. At least that is what I told Steve. He got into the passenger seat and we were off to the movies. Meanwhile Pam was pulling up to his apartment and cleaning out everything while we watched the latest 007 wannabe ridding the world of the latest evil mastermind. As we were leaving the theater my phone rang. Pam had finished up early and wondered if we could give her a ride and maybe stop off for a couple of drinks while she relaxed. Steve agreed and I picked a quiet little place that Pam and I had already visited and found to be both quiet and off the busy nightlife circuit. Being quiet and not very busy allowed us to get a table in a dark corner where we could do what we needed to do without attracting attention. After two beers Steve left the table to relieve some bladder pressure giving us a chance to slip a little something into his next drink. After that it was easy to get him on his feet between us and slip out the front door without anyone noticing. Test six, we cheated.
Steve awoke with fuzzy brain, naked and under a light sheet on our living room couch. When we heard him stir we walked in with some hot coffee slightly doctored with a drug that I had been working on. The drug was designed to give your brain a strong push in a certain direction. It would not make you into a mindless zombie or anything like it but if you were not dead set against something it caused you to be very open to embracing the suggestions of others. The effect was cumulative, the more you agreed the more you wanted to agree. I called it liquid Yes! And Steve had been secretly getting a dose every evening that we went out together
