This happened night before last and I'm still trying to process it.
I've know this couple for almost 20 years. We used to be in the same apartment complex and our families grew close. My wife sometimes babysat for their little one. After our divorce I was the designated friend, and they lost touch with my ex. They now live in Kansas.
Well, their kid is now 21, just graduated from SMU, and they're helping him relocate to Houston, so I was excited to see them again and invited them to use my home as a base of operations while they're here.
He's a nerd. Great guy. Computer programmer. She has a cute face and a killer body. That's an almost unbearable combination, and I've often fantasized about her, but that's as far as I would take it.
Monday night was Italian night because they love my lasagna. We gorged on pasta, bread, and Chianti after a long day of packing.
I went into the kitchen to get dessert, and when I turned around to get the plates she was standing there.
I knew she was a bit tipsy because her speech was kind of slurred, and she said "What's for dessert, Sweetheart?"
I joked "You've never tasted anything like this before."
Then she put her elbows on my shoulders and said "Know something else I never tasted?"
Deer in the headlights. I looked in her eyes to desperately find a joke in there. I could not respond. I dare not respond.
Then she broke out laughing so loudly that her husband came in the kitchen and asked what was so funny.
She told him she was trying to make out with me, but I froze up on her.
He laughed with her. I was the only one not laughing.
I couldn't even sleep that night thinking about what she said and what she meant by it. Plus she told her husband. Did he take it as a joke? Did he expect anything to happen? Nothing did.
Yesterday morning I made Eggs Benedict, and while we were eating she winked at me and said "I dream about this - you making breakfast just for me." He just chuckled. I kind of smiled.
So, now I'm puzzled and worried. They're coming back through on the weekend, and I have no idea what to expect or how to react. I really don't want our relationship to change, but she's making it sound like she's got different plans.
