Sarah texted me this morning and asked if I wanted to get coffee. I was literally doing nothing, so I quickly got dressed and met her at a coffee shop downtown. We both ordered and I paid. While we were sitting there waiting for our drinks, she got up to use the restroom. The barista called my name so I went up to the counter and grabbed by drink. When I did so, the barista said, “Your wife’s will be out shortly.”
It seemed like a really peculiar thing for her to say since she had no way of knowing my relationship with Sarah. She could have been my sister, or a coworker, or any number of other things. But for some reason I liked the fact that she presumed we were a couple.
I didn’t mention it when she came out of the bathroom. Instead we sat there and drank and talked for more than an hour. We’ve been friends for years, but I never really gave much thought to her. She was just a casual friend and didn’t play much role in my life. Suddenly after a few sexual experiences together, I wanted to know everything about her. I didn’t know how to define our relationship. I hadn’t greeted her with a kiss or shown her any physical affection while we were at the coffee shop. When we walked out, she asked if I wanted to do anything else together, or just go back to her place.
She said it with a smile on her face, but I knew she was genuinely suggesting sex. I answered that I’d like to hang out with her, but would also like to go back to her place. She asked what I was doing tomorrow with Independence Day and I said I had no plans. I told her it’d be fun to have dinner with her and then go see the fireworks. She asked if I was suggesting a proper date and I said yes.
We drove to her house in separate cars. As soon as we got there, she came up to me and said that she had originally thought that I was “just experimenting with a fat girl” but if I really wanted to be her boyfriend she would like that.
Somewhat to my surprise, I confirmed that I did really want to be her boyfriend. Then we went inside and had sex.
We laid in her bed together naked afterward and she asked me if I would be embarrassed to introduce her to my friends. I was surprised to see this side of her, because the previous times we’d been together she seemed so confident and unconcerned about what people thought about her weight. Before I could answer, she said, “I’m more than double your weight. People are going to make fun of you. I don’t want you to be embarrassed to admit you’re with me.”
I assured her I had no problem with it, but inside I was wondering if she was right.
