My eyes caught the one that was most important to me as I spotted Lori walking towards me with a big smile on her face, her ponytail and ample boobs bouncing my way.
“Well hello beautiful, I take it from your smile that everything went well today?” I asked her.
“Aced my test, project turned in and time for you tell me this story I’ve been dying to hear,” she laughed, “I’d say the weekend is officially off to a pretty good start. Let’s grab lunch before we head back to my place.”
We settled on a place just a block off campus. A small hole in the wall deli that had been around for decades. We ordered our food a couple of beers and found a small booth in the back. I asked about sitting on the patio with it being such a nice day but Lori didn’t want to deal with bumping into people and having to share our time with others.
“Ok, start talking the suspense is killing me,” she pressed me as soon as we sat down, “What happened this morning?”
“Well, I’m not sure how you’re going to feel about this but I’m hoping you’ll find it as funny as we did,” I began hesitantly.
“We?” she asked feigning jealousy already which wasn’t a good sign.
“Yeah, um, so this morning,” I was suddenly concerned with how she was going to take this. I knew if I just gave her the sanitized version, I had done nothing wrong and hoped she would see it that way. “I called over to the house when I was heading that way and Annie answered so I let her know what was up. She had just heard your message so she knew what was happening. I told her I was coming over to pick it up and would be there in 10 minutes.”
Our food arrived so I paused for a minute and after the waitress left Lori stared at me waiting to hear more. Neither of us immediately picked up our food so I knew she was expecting me to get to the good part.
“So I stopped off at Circle K on the way over and grabbed a bunch of things for this weekend and then went over to your place. I knocked on the door and Annie answered about 30 seconds later. She had just gotten out of the shower. Her hair was wet and she was wrapped in a towel,” I paused to assess how Lori was taking this so far.
“Go on,” she encouraged and reached to take a drink of her beer, leaving our food still untouched.
“Well I had grabbed her a big Diet Coke so I handed that to her and then when I stepped inside she offered to help me carry one of the bags I was holding. She grabbed one out of my hand and we walked toward the kitchen, she was in front of me a few steps when we got there,” I rambled on quickly trying to spit it all out there for her now.
“You were watching her ass weren’t you?” Lori asked accusingly.
“My eyes may have drifted there once or twice on the walk over,” I joked back sensing she was taking this ok, “So we had just entered the kitchen when the towel fell. Annie had her hands full and it must have come untied and dropped there to the kitchen floor.”
Lori gasped although I am sure she had already thought this might be where it was going. I think the reality of me seeing her best friend naked still took her by surprise.
“So what did you see?” she asked.
“Well she had her back to me so I only saw her ass as the towel fell and if you’ve seen one ass you’ve seen them all right?” I tried to lighten the mood a bit and make it all no big deal.
“I have seen Annie’s ass and that is not just any old ass you liar. She has a way better ass than me,” Lori interrupted. I should have kept going with my story but some part of brain said to compliment Lori would be the better idea.
“Your ass is way sexier, you have some wiggle to it when you walk and I love the way yours fills my hands just right,” I lamely tried to respond, it was not the right call.
“Oh mine is nicer because it is fatter and jiggles more, why thank you, kind sir. How much of her ass did you see anyway? Were you just staring at her?”
“Ummm, well she rushed to put her stuff down and I tried to help by grabbing the towel for her, when she turned around we both ended up with a corner of the towel stretched between us,” I stammered.
“You didn’t turn around or look away, pervert?” She jumped back in on me, “The gentlemanly thing to do is look away idiot. So you saw her ass and kept staring when she turned around naked?”
I was blushing now, realizing she was right. I should have tried to look away, maybe even in this highly edited version I was still the asshole, but I had tried to be helpful. “I was trying to help her get the towel back as fast as possible. I was being chivalrous and technically this was all your fault for making me get out of bed and go over there. ”
She laughed loudly, “My fault? Ha! And you were being chivalrous by staring at her NAKED.” Her voice carried a bit more than either of us would have liked and I looked around to see a few heads turned our way, thankfully none of them were people we knew. I could tell even Lori was a bit surprised at how loudly that had come out of her.
“So you are both standing there and you are staring at Annie totally naked?” she quietly whispered, calming down a bit.
“Ummm, yeah,” I meekly replied.
“So you saw all of her? Her tits, her pussy, her giant bush?” Lori giggled a bit and it helped put me more at ease.
“Yup,” I laughed, “I haven’t seen a bush like that since Playboy in the early 80s, what’s that all about?” I laughed sensing we were back in a good space.
“It’s kind of sad actually, she hasn’t had time for a boyfriend for the last two years because she’s been working so hard and she isn’t the type to do the one-night-stand thing; so she doesn’t see the point in doing any maintenance. We all joke with her about it and how she needs to get back out there but she says Steve doesn’t care about her bush.” Lori was focused on Annie now and not me so that was a good thing from where I was sitting.
“Steve?” I asked.
“Her vibrator, it’s the only sex she’s gotten in a few years. We all joke with her about her boyfriend Steve. So if you hear us make that joke don’t say anything. She doesn’t need to be embarrassed any further,” Lori instructed.
“Of course,” I made the lock and key hand motions, tossing the key away to show it had been locked away.
“You’re the first guy that’s seen her naked in years. She must be so embarrassed,” Lori sounded concerned about her friend.
“I told her there was nothing to be embarrassed about, I was sure you guys had probably seen each other accidentally undressed before and just to think of it like it was her fifth roommate that saw her,” I tried to sound nonchalant about it but Lori wasn’t buying it.
“Oh yeah, my boyfriend seeing her naked is just the same as one of her best friends, idiot,” she was laughing as she said it. “I’m sure your face was just the same as ours too, plus we look away. I’d bet you were drooling looking at her naked and probably if she’d stuck around she would have seen you getting hard staring at her.”
I choked a bit on my sandwich.
“Oh no you didn’t, did she make you hard from just a brief glimpse of her naked?” she was offended and amused by the thought.
