No, let’s go be alone

“You’re right, Maisie. Someone could see us. Let’s go to my place instead so we can be alone.”

Her face lights back up. “Your place is perfect! Then we’ll be alone and I can get totally naked!” She bobs her head side to side excitedly.

If the thought of finally seeing your friend in the nude wasn’t enough to get you erect, her enthusiasm about the situation certainly is. With a shaky hand, you grab the wheel and step on the gas, racing to get home as quickly as possible.

While you drive, Maisie pulls her phone back out, giggling at some text.

“Who is that?” you ask, feeling just as offended as usual, but with more confidence to do something about it.

“Oh, nobody,” she replies, waving you off without looking up.

“Maisie, tell me who you’re texting and what about,” you command.

She looks at you. “Actually I should tell you. This is a guy I’ve been flirting with for a few days. He said he’s gonna take me out tonight, and I think we’re gonna go all the way. Anyway he just sent me a picture of his abs, so I’m pretty excited about the whole thing. Eeep!” Her shoulders shrug in glee.

You can hardly stand to hear it, but at least you no longer have to let it happen. Not when you have the power to intervene.
