she was talking about the sex that both of girls were offering me this morning. As we walked into the house where she was staying, she turned and told me to sit down while she got a glass of tea for us. I looked around for some place sit; there wasn’t a whole lot of furniture in the place, just an old be at up couch with a blanket covering the torn cushions and a big black easy chair setting in the corner of the room by the window. The windows were covered with shear white curtains that were blowing inward from a slight breeze outside. I decided to sit in the chair so I could watch for Amy across the street.
“Hey Chris, how long have you known Amy?” She asked inquisitively.
“A few weeks, I meet her running on the beach one morning and we have been running partners ever since.”
“When did you start sleeping with her, are you guys really a couple?” Damn, she sure is bold, I’ve never met a women so aggressive.
“Wow, you cut straight to the point, don’t you Barbie?” I cocked my head to one side.
“What is the point in beating around the bush Chris, I probably seen you first, but she must have got you in the sack already, well it doesn’t matter, if you want to have sex with me all you have to do is whistle.” Just as I was about to form my lips into a whistle, there was a knock at the door.
“Hello is anybody home.” Barbie hollered back though the jalousie window.
“Whatever you’re selling, I don’t want any.” She muttered sarcastically.
“I am not selling anything, my name is Amy, I am your neighbor from across the street, I seem to have lost my boyfriend, he is about six foot tall, real good looking, and has a tan to die for, have you seen him?” Amy said with a little despair in her voice.
“Yes I have seen him, he is in here having a glass of ice tea with me, but I am not sure I want to give him back to you.” She smiled at me seductively as she stood at the door as if she was protecting something that belonged to her.
“What do you mean that you’re not sure you want to give him back to me?” She says with her hands on her hips and squinting to see through the windows.
“Is that you Barbie? I didn’t know that you lived right across the street from me.” I could tell form the sound of Amy’s voice that she was getting pissed-off.
“No, my name is not Barbie, I have never met you, and I’m just someone who found your wayward boyfriend wandering the neighborhood and took him in.” Amy is beyond angry now, she is furious, you can see it in her body language as she stands outside the door with her hand on her hip and one finger flying through the air.
“Now, listen here Barbie, we are not playing finders keepers and if my man is in there, I want him back right now.”
“Alight Amy, don’t go getting your panties in a twist, come on in, I was just keeping him warm for you until you got home, come on in the door is always open for you my dear.” Over my dead body you bitch Amy muttered under her breath as she walked through the door.
“It is eighty degrees outside Barbie, and if I need any help getting him hot, don’t worry I will call you.”
“Honey, if you ask me, he is steaming hot already, I was thinking of asking him if he wanted to take a cold shower with me to help him cool off, if you know what I mean.”
“I know exactly what you mean Barbie and I already told you to keep your grubby paws off him. What are you doing over here Chris? I left the front door open for you.”
“I didn’t know where you were Amy and Barbie offered me a glass of ice tea while I was waiting for you and you know how much I love sweet ice tea.”
I could see that Amy was pissed off at me for being in Barbie’s house and was not going to forgive me too quickly.
“I told you that it wasn’t safe around here Chris, and that was before I knew that I had this cougar living right across the street from me.” Amy snarls at Barbie.
“Ah, come on Amy, it is not like you
