“Why are you asking me this? Are you thinking about getting with a girl?”
“I think every woman thinks about it once or twice in her life, but not all women act on it,” I said.
“So would you?” he asked.
“Would I what?”
“Act on it. You know, get with a girl?”
I paused, thinking this could be my “in,” the way I could break the news that I was sleeping with Alana, but something was stopping me, something I couldn’t explain.
“No.”
“Well, if you wanted to,” Todd continued, “I’d be down with that. I mean, two times the fun, right?”
I laughed but it was more of a laugh of relief than anything, but I also was a little taken aback at my man’s eagerness to get it on with two women. In that moment, I thought about what Simone had said about how every man loved the idea until it became reality.
“Why does every man have that fantasy?” I asked.
“Because it’s hot, two women together.”
“What about two men?” I said.
“Not so hot,” Todd quickly said.
“Now wait a minute, Denzel Washington plus The Rock isn’t a bad thought.”
“No baby, that’s just wrong in so many ways,” Todd said.
“Well, it depends on who you ask.”
“Is that right?” Todd asked as he grabbed me and playfully threw me down on the bed. We began to kiss passionately, and then he pulled away.
“I’m very happy right now.”
“You are?” I asked.
“Yes, because I have a growing practice, a great home, and a beautiful girlfriend,” Todd said as he kissed on my neck. “I don’t think a man could be any happier right now.”
As Todd kissed every inch of my body, I wondered if I had missed my opportunity to come clean and tell Todd the truth, knowing then where he stood about my being with a woman.
I thought about it a little more and decided that my being with just any woman was different from my being with a woman he considers his best friend. That is where the hurt and the deceit were, being so close to home. I closed my eyes and tried to focus completely on taking in all of Todd’s affection, but I still couldn’t shake the guilt that came with sleeping with Alana, my man’s best friend.
