"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"I... I was..."
"Are you spying on me?"
"No, I'm not!"
Yes, I was. I was spying on her. I didn't think I was, at the time, but I definitely was. It was the middle of the night, and I was curved against the door of her room, with a hand in my pants. What else could I be doing?
I mean, I don't go around spying on girls all the time, but... She was special. She was my roommate, and she was my crush. She wasn't the usual "hot girl". She was fine, of course, but not a girl you would turn you head for. But she was so very much sexual... And she was so open with her sexuality! She told everybody about her multiple sexual adventures, she didn't have any shame, like at all. And what she told made her look like she was some kind of a sex goddess. She drove me mad. And not just me! Around her men fell like trees around a lumberjack. She could have any man she wanted. And she wanted a lot of men. Night after night, young and handsome man after young and handsome man came to our apartment and she fucked them good and hard. She was also the most intelligent person I had ever met. A dominant girl. No one could keep up with her. I cared for her, a lot. But my lust was much bigger. I was very, very, frustrated.
Bear with me for a moment: I wasn't that young. I was almost 25 years old, I should have known better. But the fact is that I was really really intimate with her. I mean... I was really on the brink of escaping the friend zone. Or at least it had felt that way... For the last 5 years.
I knew her body really well. We cuddled a lot, I massaged her, I even saw her small breasts a couple of times, while changing before a yoga class (very special moments). But nothing more. I didn't understand. I wasn't ugly, like... At all! I had my share of luck with other women. Just... Not with the one I wanted. Not with her.
And one day, something inside me snapped. An idea became fixated in my mind. I had to see her pussy. I don't know why, but that became the only thing I cared about in the world.
But let me go back to that night, to the 25 years old me with his hand on his dick, in the dark, in front of her door, now open, framing the most angry girl I had ever seen.
"You are spying on me!"
"I just heard a strange sound, I thought you could be sick"
"What kind of sound?"
"I don't know..."
"What did you hear?"
"I don't know!"
"You lying piece of shit! You come inside and explain yourself."
I wasn't lying... I actually thought I heard her masturbate. I thought I heard moans and maybe a low vibration, and so I rushed right there to listen to those beautiful sounds. But apparently I had imagined everything.
She took me by my sleeve and dragged my inside her room.
"Listen to me" she said. "I saw you these last months. I noticed you watching me like that. You're disgusting and you have to stop."
"I don't know what you are talking about".
"Yes, you do. And we already talked about this: we are friends. Nothing more."
"Yes, I know!"
She paused from a moment, studying my expression. I was sweating profusely. Then she continued.
"What do you want from me?""
"Nothing, I swear."
"Stop lying!"
She was yelling. No, she was barking at me. I felt small, I didn't know how to get out of this one.
"I want you to be completely sincere with me, from this moment onward. And I mean completely. If you don't, I will tell everything that happened tonight to everyone we know." We had a fairly big circle of friends. "Don't even try to lie to me, not even a small, insignificant lie, because I. Will. Know. I know you better than yourself. What were you trying to do?".
"I thought I heard you masturbating. I wanted to listen."
She had to take a moment to be sure that she heard correctly. The look in her eyes was... I don't know. It was despise.
"That's disgusting!"
"I know, I'm sorry."
"You need to stop behaving like this around me."
"I will."
"We have to be sure."
"I will, I swear."
"I don't believe you."
She paused for a bunch of seconds, looking at me. She was studying me. She seemed curious.
"I mean... What's your endgame? You know I will never fuck you, right? Do you? Do you know it?"
"Yes, I know it."
"Than what is it? What you wish to get? Tell me."
I looked at her. Something inside me tried to stop me from being sincere, but it was too late. The floods were open.
"I want to see your pussy."
"You what?"
"I want to see your pussy. I would really love to."
"Just... See it?"
"Yes, it would already be enough. Even just a pic of it."
"Wow. Ok, let me be absolutely and completely clear about this. You will never see my pussy. Never. Not even in a drawing."
"Ok."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Now will you stop with all this bullshit?"
"Yes."
"Fuck. I still don't believe you. How can we make me believe you?"
"Please don't tell anyone."
"So that's what you're worried about? You don't care shit about our friendship, right?"
"No, I mean..."
