The Challenge
I was enjoying the last month of my summer vacation from college with my friends as we sat in the basement of my parent's house playing video games. Rob and Johnny were currently playing a video soccer game while Sammy and I watched, chowing down on pizza. I was distracted when my phone dinged, indicated I'd received a text message.
I looked at the message. It was from Vicky Carmichael, the girl I went out with last weekend. We did have a great time together... and she was easy enough to put out on the first date. She was beautiful and a great student and athlete... but she was one of a string of dates I'd been on over the past year. They all just seemed the same. The message said:
>Wanna hang out tonight?
I quickly typed a response.
>No... with my boys tonight.
She came back quickly.
>You know I can be a lot more fun than they can!
Before I could type a reply, she sent another text, this time a picture of her bra-covered breasts. Then another with her wearing sexy panties. While the pictures were sexy, I wasn't swayed. I was actually getting a little bored with college girls.
>Nah... sorry... really... I'm busy.
My text was followed by three more from her. The first was text
>I dunno... I'm really *REALLY* wanting you tonight.
And the other two were pictures... of her pushing her bra down and baring her breast, showing her tight, little nipple. And the other of her pulling her panties aside and separating her labia to show her wet, pink pussy. It almost made me give in... but this was so predictable. Pretty much every girl I dated followed the exact same formula. I went out with them and had a great time. Then we had sex and I'd blow their mind. Then they spent the next month or two trying to convince me to go out again, always... ALWAYS... sending sexy pictures to convince me. It was like clockwork.
"Damn, bro, who in the hell is texting you so much?" Sammy asked.
I was typing a response as I answered him. "It's that girl Vicky," I said. "I went out with her last weekend and she wants to go out again."
>Sorry, babe... maybe next weekend.
"Vicky Carmichael?" Rob asked.
"Yeah."
"Oh my God, dude! She's hot as fuck!" Rob practically drooled, grabbing my phone and thumbing through the pictures Vicky sent. "Holy fuck! Look at this one." Rob showed the pussy picture to Johnny.
"Damn! She's in my psych class," Johnny said. "I would kill to go out with her. I'll never look at her the same way again."
"Hello? And... you're here with us instead of hitting that?" Sammy asked, rightly questioning my sanity.
"Yeah... I'm just tired of these girls," I said. "They're just too easy. You know?"
"Oh... so now you've conquered girls?" Johnny laughed. "How many girls have you been with over the last year?"
"I don't know," I said, kind of counting in my head. "Maybe 25. Enough of them at least. I think what I need is a challenge."
"What kind of challenge?" Sammy asked.
"Girls are just too easy," I said. "It's like, you tell them you like their hair and you're set."
"I think you underestimate women, my man," Johnny laughed.
"That's the thing," I said. "I think what I need is a woman. Someone older."
"Ok... where are you going to find said woman?" Johnny asked.
"Well... it can't be that difficult," I said.
"I guess, older women... in their thirties... can be a little lonely and like it if a good looking guy takes an interest in them," Johnny said. "It's probably not even that much of a challenge."
"I think you watch way too much porn, Johnny," Sammy laughed.
"No, really," he replied.
"I suppose," I said. "It's probably more of a challenge to impress them... get your foot in the door. They know what they like and they're not fake."
"Well... I for one have seen way too many women online that would challenge that description," Rob said. "I'm just saying."
"So... just to make it interesting, she should be married," Sammy said.
"Seriously?" I asked, surprised that any of them would suggest that.
"Why not?" he said. "That's more of a challenge, isn't it? But she shouldn't be old and settled. Maybe one that's just... bored."
"A family member would be an extra challenge, you know," Johnny suggested. "Your sister is older and so very hot."
"Again, dude, you watch way too much porn," Sammy laughed and slapped Johnny's arm.
"No dude," I said. "That's not going to happen."
"What about.... your aunt?" Johnny smiled, deviously. "She's married... she's in the right age range... she's obvioiusly not happy in her marriage...."
"Dude! That so wrong! I mean... she's family," I said, shaking my head.
"Step-family," he said. "Step... not a blood relation. Besides you said you barely even know her."
I shook my head. "Let's just play, ok?" And we went back to our games and pizza. But my mind was elsewhere. My mind was contemplating the "what ifs".
My stepmom's sister, Emmanuelle, came to live with us about a month ago. Her husband, Stuart, had surprised her one day and told her that he thought he was gay. They were now contemplating divorce and she was living apart from him in order to think and consider her options. Obviously, living with a gay husband would put a big crimp in their marriage.
