The hottest moment of my life but also super meaningful? I’m still processing this and I thought it would be good to type it out here. There’s a lot of build-up so if you just want the good stuff you will have to scroll a bit.
Amber and I met about 6 years ago, in college on the West Coast. When we met I was in a relationship with someone else. So even though Amber is super cute, since I was in a relationship when we met I didn’t really think of her that way. But we were in the same friend group and became good friends in our own way. Then after college my relationship ended, but by then Amber had moved back to the East Coast. Plus I was in a sad place after the breakup so I still didn’t really think of Amber that way. Our whole friend group kept in touch though, and sometimes we would all go on joint trips (except my ex), about 10 of us. The group went to Coachella once during college and had a blast, and after not being able to meet up for 2 years because of the pandemic, we decided to all go to Coachella again. Heading into it I wasn’t even thinking about Amber in that way, I was just excited to have everyone back together.
But when Amber pulled in to our AirBnB, it was like a switch flicked off in my head. She’s around 5′ 3″ and has nice curves. Even if I wasn’t thinking about dating her I definitely noticed how she filled out her jeans.
Anyway Coachella, it was like 90 degrees so she was wearing a short sundress and had this big smile that again, flicked off a switch in my head. She was super happy to see everyone, including me thankfully, and gave everyone a big hug. I got the same big hug she gave everyone else but when she pressed her body on mine for the hug I felt some strong emotions that came out of nowhere.
Afterward I was thinking *[edit: grammar]* “it’s just Amber, what?” but then I realized it was the first time we had really hung out since I was single, and in the sun and with all the good vibes she was super cute. Amber had to head back to the East Coast on Sunday so she was only staying the first two days, but I was looking forward to it.
We unpacked into our own rooms. Me and my guy friend were in one room, and she and two of the other single girls were in another, while the couples had their own rooms. Then it was Coachella time.
During the first day and night my focus was enjoying the music, and I didn’t really want to make it weird with Amber, even though I was definitely eyeing her as she danced in her cute outfit. When Madeon played a song that we had talked about I made sure to point it out and she laughed and we had some good eye contact. But it was still just friendly. At night we were exhausted, but our whole group had some ramen and caught up a bit. I liked that Amber sat next to me for that part, and gave me a flirt punch when I said something dumb. But again it was pretty normal, and I was fine with it.
The second day was fun and full of dancing, but still normal. Then it was night time. It was suddenly getting cold and windy, and I forgot to bring a sweater. The merch line was super long, but there was this general store I found that sold blankets. So I got one and met up with the group at Flume.
Some people had sweaters, and Amber brought one too, but she was wearing a short dress and you could tell she was getting cold. I offered my blanket to her, and she said “what? Then you’ll be cold.” So we decided to share it. I didn’t want her to feel awkward, and I could tell she felt the same-ish, so I kept as much distance as possible but our bodies were still touching. I didn’t mind. She was so soft.
At this point I was super tired and planning on heading home after Flume since I didn’t care too much for the night acts (Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish), but now I liked sharing the blanket. I knew my friends were looking but I guess it seemed innocent enough that no one said anything.
Next was Megan Thee Stallion. Amber was super into her. She was dancing and having a good time, and of course that made me enthusiastic. Amber and I brushed against each other while dancing a few times, which I definitely didn’t avoid. Eventually though Amber was having so much fun she actually broke out of the blanket to dance more freely, which made me a bit sad but I was happy she was having a good time.
Around halfway through Megan’s set some friends (not including Amber) said they were leaving. I was REALLY tired, and the thought of staying 2 more hours for the end of Billie, plus the traffic heading home, was too much. Plus Amber was out of the blanket so she wasn’t really signaling that I had a special reason to stay. So I decided to head out too, but I gave Amber the blanket so she could stay warm. She said thanks and gave a quick hug.
At the AirBnB, as I went to sleep I was definitely thinking all about Amber, how cute she was and how soft she was as we danced together and each time she hugged me.
When you drink a lot, like we all did at Coachella, you don’t sleep well. Usually I hate that, but that night it was the best possible thing.
I woke up really groggy and really thirsty. I checked my phone and it was around 3:30am. I went to kitchen to get some water.
When I got there, I saw the bathroom light was on. I have to say that I was definitely hoping that Amber was in there and I kind of lingered in the kitchen in the hopes she would come out.
Then the bathroom door opened and… Amber walked out. She turned toward the dim light in the kitchen and saw me, and gave a tired but nice smile. She walked over next to me and poured some water for herself.
“Hey OP”
“Hey Amber. How was Billie?”
“It was great! You should have stayed.”
Oh?
“Sorry, I was really tired.”
“You don’t have to say sorry. Thanks so much for the blanket. It was freezing.”
“Yeah.”
“Were you okay on the walk to the lot? It was so cold.”
I was freezing but I lied. “Yeah I was fine.”
“I’m glad.” She smiled again.
Then it was quiet. And we kind of looked at each other. Both of our glasses were on the kitchen counter now.
And she just kept looking at me, like she was waiting for something. My heart was pounding. Wait, has she been thinking about this too? And she just kept waiting.
So I closed the gap a little bit while saying “I’m glad you flew all the way out here Amber.”
“Me too.” She seemed very comfortable with me getting closer.
It was quiet again for a bit. I was looking for any reason to bail. But it really felt like she was waiting for me to do something.
So I went closer. She tilted her head up a bit, and I just did what felt natural.
I bent down and kissed her. When our lips touched there was a split second of “WTF DID I JUST DO” but then she kissed back immediately. It became a little more forceful pretty quickly.
Then my mind woke up for a second. I backed up and asked her “are you sure?” I could have blown it. But it felt so sudden I had to make sure.
She looked into my eyes, nodded, and said “yeah.” That’s all I needed to hear. I dove in and kissed her again and opened my mouth a bit more. Our tongues touched and it was amazing. My hands went to her lower back and thighs, our bodies pressed against each other and she was so soft.
When our kiss broke, I grabbed her hand and we went to the living room. All the rooms were just far enough from the living room, all the room doors were closed, and the AC was on, and I was so turned on that I didn’t care.
We sat on the couch and kept kissing, our tongues brushing against each other. Because we had known each other for so long there was this familiarity, but at the same time it was so exciting. I leaned her over and soon I was on top of her. She was wearing casual PJs with short shorts. My hands wandered to her upper thighs and she quietly moaned into the kiss, her hands going up my back under my shirt. I was rock hard at this point and she pressed her hips against me and it felt so good.
We kept kissing and I moved my hands on her sides and toward her breasts. She was almost grinding against me at this point so it felt fine to let my hands roam. Her breasts are so cute and perky, and now I knew they were so soft. I started kissing her neck and feeling her nipples through her shirt. I peeked upward and she had her eyes closed and was biting her lip trying to be quiet. It was so hot.
I raised up and took off my shirt. I started unbuttoning her shirt but she stopped me. I was confused for a second and raised back up for a bit. But then she unbuttoned the rest of her shirt and just kept it on.
“It feels weird to be naked out here.” It was the first words either of us had said since kissing. She smiled in the same joking and friendly way I had known for years, but at the same time I was so turned on. It was a whole mess of emotions. She then took my right hand and brought it under her shirt to her left breast, and closed her eyes and bit her lip again as I started kneading it. We started kissing again, but her hand went to my groin and she began massaging me through my shorts. My dick felt like it was on fire.
My right hand then went down to her groin as my left hand kneaded her other boob and I stroked her through her shorts. We stayed like this for a bit, kissing and touching each other. I went down to suck on her nipples and she pressed her hand harder against my shaft, quietly moaning. It was just so hot I cannot describe.
I didn’t know how much time we had, so I stopped and went down to her shorts. I looked up at her and she nodded and lifted her legs so I could slip them off. I then took off my shorts and got on top of her. Our eyes locked and I slowly pushed in. I felt her squeeze around me as I went deeper and deeper. She gasped but quickly bit her lip. I had to close my eyes it felt so good. My body pressed forward and our heads rested in each other’s necks as I slowly started a rhythm, her arms wrapped around my neck. I remember hearing the noise of the A/C and both of our quiet grunts and moans, as I pushed in and out over and over again. The sensations were overwhelming and I just remember feeling like my body was on fire.
I was so turned on that honestly after about two minutes I was about to bust. Also I was very conscious of the fact that anyone could walk in on us and that I wasn’t wearing a condom. I whispered “I’m gonna come soon” and she whispered “come on me.” So I gave a few last pumps then pulled out and came hard all over her stomach. As if this all wasn’t hot enough, she started to spread my cum all over her body, including her tits, softly gasping as she did so. By now her shirt had slipped off her shoulders and it was so hot seeing her with my cum all over her body.
I then laid back on top of her and kissed her, breathing deeply, our tongues softly mingling. I could feel my cum between us, and with her tits against my chest it felt so, so good. Then we stopped and looked at each other. My heart rate was slowing down and it was suddenly awkward. I said “wow.” She smiled and stifled a laugh.
I said “we should probably get dressed,” and she nodded. We both knew anyone could walk in. I asked if she wanted a towel or something, and she said no she’ll shower later. So we got dressed and just sat there.
I didn’t know what to say. “You okay?” I asked.
“Yeah.”
“That was… really hot.” I didn’t know what else to say. She again stifled a laugh and said yeah.
I realized she was leaving in a few hours. “When’s your flight?”
“5pm.”
“Ah.”
Silence for a bit.
“Do you want to talk about it now?” I asked.
She paused. “I don’t know.”
“Yeah I don’t know what to say either. I care about you a lot though.”
“Me too.”
She then leaned over and rested her head on my shoulder. We held hands and just sat there for a while. I wanted to stay forever but I knew someone could walk out.
“We should probably head back to our rooms huh,” I said.
“Yeah. I’m gonna shower too.”
“Right. Want to talk when you get back home?”
“That works. Get some sleep, OP, you have another day left. Don’t leave early this time.”
I smiled. So she did want to stay under the blanket. I’m glad it worked out though.
So I went to my room and knocked out. When I woke up it was almost 10. In a slight panic I walked out and asked as casually as I could if Amber had left already. She had.
I went to my room and got my phone. I texted her “hey, have a safe flight. thinking of you today”
She hearted the comment pretty quickly and said “thanks, have fun out there! thinking of you too”
So I had one last day at Coachella, thinking of her the whole time.
After Coachella was over I arrived back home Amber and I talked about it over the phone. We talked about our friendship, and I explained why I never really thought about her that way until now and she said it made sense. She also didn’t think anything would happen until the blanket, but she obviously thought I was attractive. She also said she took Plan B, which I appreciated. I apologized for lasting so short but she laughed and said she was glad I was as turned on as she was. Neither of us said we actually had feelings for each other, only that we valued our friendship and were obviously attracted to each other.
She had no plans of leaving the East Coast, since her family is there. I’m pretty established on the West Coast too. And it would be unreasonable to expect her to move out here based on us hooking up even if we are good friends. But it’s been a week now and I can’t stop thinking about her. And honestly it sounds dumb but even though I saw her as a friend until two weeks ago I can totally see us together. It’s not like I wasn’t attracted to her, and I’ve always thought she was cool it just wasn’t realistic for us to date.
I told one of my friends outside our friend group, and she said that if that all happened then Amber probably has feelings for me but feels too vulnerable to admit it and she doesn’t want to make the friend group weird. And that maybe if I really feel that strongly and showed commitment to Amber, it wouldn’t be weird if I moved out to the East Coast. Maybe she’s right. But still the East Coast is a really big move. Anyway I’m still thinking about everything and we’ll see. Typing this out felt like lifting a big weight off my shoulders.
But pretty much all the time since I think about that night with her. It was so hot. I’m glad I work from home so no one can see me just spacing out. Life is crazy.

Take the leap man! what do you have to lose
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. But you don’t have to rush into anything right away – figure out what works best for you. I hope that you’re able to talk with her again soon, hopefully you’ll both be on the same page going forward. Good luck!
Look dude. Whatever career you have on the West Coast can be found on the East Coast. In a relationship, someone has to do the chasing. That’s you here. You’re the chaser.
I’ve found you regret the things you don’t do a lot more than the things you do.
You may want to give this gal and you a chance. Might just have been the high of the event and the vibes from that, but might have been something too. You’ll only know if you find a way to keep in regular contact.
Or, accept this was a cool experience, and move on to search for another.
This is beautiful 😭😭😭
Life is short. Give her a shot! Don’t make this a future submission of a gws for the one that got away.
That first session felt really intimate, loving the way it should for two close friends who finally break that barrier. It was great you got to feel her without a condom
