a few years ago, i went to seattle to meet a friend. she lived in virginia and had wanted to visit the west coast, so i told her i’d meet her in the emerald city. we had a great time. she brought krispy kreme donuts. i brought chocolate smarties. we got drunk atop the space needle and spent an entire day in our hotel room watching road rules episodes.
what i didn’t really know about her reasons for visiting seattle was that there was a boy involved. chuck. she and he and been corresponding for a fair while and had developed an attraction. there were some mutual expectations about their finally meeting. unfortunately, they didn’t pan out. he wasn’t what she expected. i’m not sure if she met his expectations either, but i’m assuming not because he was hitting on me.
yes. a boy i’d just met was hitting on me! he was seriously into me, too. he and i, never having said one word to each other, got along famously. maybe it was that there was no pressure in our meeting or that i felt i had to be extra charming to cut the tension between them… regardless. by the time we got to the billiard hall and started in on the rolling rock, he was blowing in my ear and i was patting his ass in efforts to blow the other’s shots.
back at the hotel room we were sitting around watching tv. i was lying face down on the bed, towards the end. he was sitting on the chair in the corner. at one point he got up to pee and when he returned, he sat on the floor next to me. my friend was on the other bed, being quieter than she’d been all day. finally, she got up and walked out of the room. chuck and i looked at each other and had this moment. i knew that if she had stayed out there another thirty seconds we’d have been slobbering over each other like rabbits with gingivitis.
she came back in, mumbling something about denny’s and picked up her book. that’s when i realized i had to suss out my priorities. i told her to wait a minute and we’d go with her. she wasn’t pleased. on the way out i think chuck got the hint and said he had to go home. we discussed doing something together the next day, but i think we all knew our quota was filled.
i felt really bad for her. i did. i knew what it was like to have your expectations and hopes dashed. i also knew what it was like when a boy you had designs on, no matter how vague, liked your friend instead. but, to this day, i kind of wish i had been more selfish. i wish i’d tugged on chuck’s blue braid and kissed him while she was out in the hall. no. i don’t. i’m glad i was a good friend.
realizing that, sometimes, i can be attractive to someone without having known them for a long while before is good. knowing that it happened once helps me to believe that it can happen again.
what a letdown story. it had so much promise with 2 girls and one guy in a hotel room in a foreign city!! ;)
didn’t i mention the hot’n’sweaty threesome? sorry… must have forgotten that.
better for your karma this way, kiddo. well, the hot and sweaty threesome probably would have been good for your karma too.
would you do a threesome? just curious.
don’t worry, i’m not propositioning you. yet. ;)
short answer: yes.
What’s the long and detailed answer? Hmmmm??? *grin*
Mmmm… Krispie Kreme. Sorry, the rest of the story was lost on me after that! ;-)
huh. why?
i’m not a prude (honest!) but something about having wild passionate monkey sex with another girl while your s.o. is there just doesn’t feel right. and the though of another guy boinking her… <shudder>
i’m a freak.
Heather, you’re not an unattrative woman, by any means. Your soulmate is just taking longer to find you. It will be worth it in the end.
BTW, Seattle just isn’t your city for romance, is it?? Guess I’ll have to scratch that off our list of potential meeting places, ’cause you just know the hot lovin’ would be the first thing on our minds! ;-)
mmm, heathersex. =)
mmmm, heathersex indeed. ;) LOL
Male/female/intersex/heathersex?
