A Crossroads And A Choice

"You need to make a choice, Emily."

Rachel says that. She says it after she pulls me away to one side, abandoning Blake and Jake to stand awkwardly together and make idle chit chat while both no doubt doing their best not to talk about or address the fact of anything that happened tonight.

"Emily?" she asks again, prodding me.

"I know," I reply, "I'm just..."

My voice trails away because I know what I need to do and I know what I want to do and I know what I ought to do and they feel like three different options and it feels like I'm being pulled in easily at least a dozen more.

Rachel gave me options this time, which I suppose is better than her making the decision for me but I can't say that I'm overly appreciative quite yet. Because being given options means that I have to make a choice, and now that I'm facing it I don't know the hell I'm going to do.

When we arrived at the crossroads Rachel pulled me aside, dragging me over conspiratorially to one corner just out of earshot as she turned me away from the boys so that it didn't look like we were gossiping about them. Which, for the record, we weren't. Not really.

"Have a good night?" she asked me.

I shrugged, "Mixed bag. Great and... not so great."

"On balance, though? More good or more bad?"

I smiled, "More good I think."

Like an excited little bunny she wriggled next to me, grabbing my hand and squeezing, "I'm glad. I was hoping it would be a good night and, as the saying goes, the night is still young so the question is do you want to make it even better?"

I looked up, staring around at the buildings around us. It was late, well past the time bars close now and what few people were around were doing the long walk home. My own apartment was maybe a ten minute walk from here and after the long day I had I'd figured that my bed was calling for me.

So I didn't have the first clue what she was talking about.

"I can't decide," she said, "I'm indecisive. Want it all and want to end on a high note at the same time, you know? So I'm really kind of pushing the decision off on you because it's hard for me to make it myself and maybe that's not fair, but I'm going to stick you with the bill anyways."

She stuck out her tongue playfully and I almost dived in to kiss her, but I held back as my eyes narrowed and I asked her a question instead.

"What are you talking about?"

"Tonight," she said, "Next. Who keeps your bed warm."

And it fell into place then, what exactly she was thinking about.

It was obvious, in retrospect. I mean I'd assumed this was wrapped up with the boys but clearly there was no need for it to be. It was up to us if we wanted to call it then and there or keep it going on a little bit longer.

And the squirming need in my belly was still there, still present. The fact that I'd cum so many times today didn't matter when I was denied such a pleasurable one at the end of things.

I still wanted, still craved, but was also well and truly certain that if I invited one of those boys back to my room the last good excuse I had would be gone.

And, also, that the expectation would be there as well. After all, you don't invite a college boy back to your bed if you're not willing to give him more than just a cuddle.

"I'll give you the choice," she says, "Because I think you deserve it and because I'm curious what you'll decide. So what is it?"

"Rachel," I say, more **** than anything else.

"No," she shakes her head, "Be a big girl and make a choice. Blake? Jake? Blake and Jake? Blake and Jake and Me? You get to choose, babe. What do you want tonight?"

I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do.

My body and my mind and my morals and my dignity all wanted something else and caught in the middle, tugged in all directions was me.

And Rachel? I think she was loving the position she'd put me in.

"It's time," she says, "You need to make a choice, Emily."
