Hang by the pool

"You're not mad that I told everyone all that are you?" Mandy asked as we settled into our lounge chairs and grabbed our food.

"No, not at all." I smirked. "You've come a long way in the past two days.

"I feel a lot better," Mandy admitted. "Like, who cares if they judge us? You know?"

"I don't think anyone was judging us," I said.

"They didn't seem that open to it though."

"That's OK," I said. "They don't have to be. They didn't seem weirded out by it, though. Well, maybe Ariel did a bit." We both laughed at her reactions earlier. "Why, did you want to swap with any of them?"

"No," Mandy answered quickly. "Well, I should say I haven't really thought about it, but I can't say that I would turn any of them down. Did you want to? It's kind of crazy that we haven't even really talked about this."

"It's kind of nice, though," I replied. "It's not overtaking our lives. Everything has happened naturally, I think."

"Well, you didn't answer my question."

"I mean..." I began. "I'm not going to initiate it but, damn, all those girls are real hot so if you were down, I'd be down too."

"What if you could pick?" Mandy asked. My ears perked up. Is she suggesting that we try to swing with one of the couples?

"I don't know," I answered, placing my finger to my chin.
