Girl talk

You look at your new girlfriend and say "Nicole, would you like to stay? It's your call."

She gives you a small smile and a nod.

Sarah grins from ear to ear. "Excellent, John, would you be a dear and wake up Matt? I need to freshen up. Nicole and I can have a little chat."

You agree. You think it's a little odd that she wants to do the cliche "girls going to the bathroom together" thing, but whatever. You get directions from Sarah and close the door behind you to give the gals some privacy.

"I have to admit I'm a bit jealous. Nobody has ever looked at me like John looks at you. I'm also impressed that you made it look like you had nothing to do with it."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Nicole says coldly.

"Don't get your hackles up. I'm not mad. Although I hope you know what you're going to tell him if he actually figures it out. He's not stupid, the only reason it worked is because he trusts you completely.

Let's recap, hmm? You've been in love with John for years, watching him date girl after girl that isn't you while he either didn't or refused to admit that he sees you as sexual being.

Tonight, he's been checking you out since you took your top off.

Then Tom steals your turns, a move that would have been declared bullshit the moment you protested. It was bullshit, and even if it wasn't, Tom would never win a popularity contest, you were here with your two best friends, and nobody actually likes Tom.

But the first time you notice that John liked seeing you being sexual with me. Which meant that Tom stealing your turns was useful.

After that, Tom humiliates and hurts John by screwing Miranda in front of him and forcing him to ask her out while he did it.

But guess what? John got off on it.

And then you allow Tom to steal your turn to do something to humiliate and hurt your best friend again because what? Because Tom was being nice? Ha!

Because you were too submissive to resist being used as a prop to hurt and humiliate someone you've loved since Kindergarten? No such thing as being that submissive, I'm pretty sure..

No, you did it because you wanted to give John a show, a show that would **** him to reconcile the girl he's been attached to the hip for about two decades and the very lust worthy young woman you grew into.

And you used Tom as a prop, a human dildo, to do it. But don't worry, he's used to that. At least he would be, if he was smart enough to realize that treating woman like dumb animals and charm are two different things.

So Tom thinks it happened because you are stupid, because he's stupid. John thinks it happened because you were weak because he was weak. Projection.

But no, it happened because you had the strength and wit to get what you want.

If John had stopped it because he was too protective of you, you would have lost nothing. But what if it hadn't worked?"

"Then, Sarah, I would have known that there was no hope, that it was time to find someone who could love me back."

"One thing bothers me here, Nicole, John feels guilty here."

"Not a problem, I'll just tell him the truth-I can't regret something that brought us together, and that's the truth."

"In case you were wondering, I figured out which faerie tale you two are, the Frog King. You fucked a frog to get your prince!"

Sarah starts laughing, picturing how offended Tom would be by that comparison, and Nicole soon joins her. The sound of two friends growing closer.
