Dustin has his eye on her

„You need anything else? Another beer maybe?“

„I’m fine, thank you very much!” Nancy put on a wide smile as she shot down the offer Dustin made, while she was beginning to really feel pissed off about all the attention she was betting from Syd’s boytoy. It wasn’t so much that he neglected Syd, but with the way the man was treating her it almost felt like he was courting her while Nancy would have much preferred to melt into the background and sneak away as soon as Syd gave her a sign.

The three of them sat on Dustin’s couch in the living room, all three of them snuggled up under blankets with Syd and him sharing one. Nancy did her best to get some distance between herself and him without being too obvious, but the couch only allowed so much and the atmosphere was intimate.

While Syd and Dustin were working on a bottle of wine, Nancy had elected to stick to beer. After half a minute in his flat she had decided that it was best to keep her guard up around Dustin as he seemed inappropriately flirtatious and she had held firm even when he had tried to talk her into sharing the bottle with them. All the other offerings he made she could have billed under him being just an extraordinarily careful host and a very friendly man if it wasn’t for the look in his eyes. Nancy repeatedly caught him looking at her, checking her out in a way that made it quite obvious what his intentions were. Nancy had seen this look often enough, encountered it on a daily basis. Her friend’s lover was undressing her with his eyes.

Syd, strangely, seemed absolutely unaware of this. Ever since they had come in, the black woman had been relaxed and happy, displaying none of her previous nerves as she eagerly snuggled up to her man, giggling, cuddling and kissing like Nancy wasn’t even in the room. Several times, Nancy had tried to draw her attention to the way her lover was acting, but she simply couldn’t seem to get eye contact at all. She had even shot a message to her, but it seemed like Syd had left her phone somewhere else.

So all Nancy could do was put her back in the corner of the couch, keep a watchful eye out for Dustin and get through this movie before she could get out of this awkward spot without making a scene. She pulled the blanket higher, up under her chin to cover up from those horny looks she received from the side. What made the situation even worse was that instead of the promised ‘Die Hard’, one of Nancy’s favorites, the film choice had instead fallen upon ‘Original Sin’, an erotic thriller starring Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas that featured several steamy scenes that only furthered Nancy’s wish to abandon ship. Being the odd one out while watching a sex scene really wasn’t what she had hoped for out of her evening off.

They had made it almost three quarters through the movie when Syd grabbed the remote and pressed the ‘stop’-button on the movie, earning her confused looks by the other two.

“I need a quick break!” she explained with a smile as she got up from the couch, pecking Dustin on the lips, “Gotta powder my nose real quick. You two wait for me, yeah?!”

As Syd rushed off, Nancy glanced over to Dustin and once again caught him staring at her with a smile.

“Sooo… do you like the movie?” she said, just to break the awkward silence, looking down and pretending to check her phone for new messages.
