An evening with friends [FFM, FM, polyamory]

Sylvia’s husband was such a diva about getting ready for a date. She could never decide if she loved it or hated it, but she wouldn’t complain this time. Tonight was their first double date with a couple they’d just met a few weeks ago, and she wanted the evening to be perfect, and that included Joel’s appearance.

The night had been in the works ever since they’d met Kristy and David at a swinger’s meetup. They had hit it off immediately, and Sylvia hadn’t been on a double date since college. After meeting up for drinks a few times, Joel and Syl knew exactly what they were hoping for tonight. All the flirting that they’d done with each other’s partners was coming to a head, and Sylvia just couldn’t wait. She sneaked into the bathroom behind Joel and wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

“Hi there,” he said, sliding a straight razor across his jaw.

“Danny, we’ve been over this: we need the money. There’s no way around it, and we have an extra room.”

“Okay, but Anna, do we really want to fit that many people in a double-wide? I don’t even know them.”

“You said they seemed fine when we met for coffee, and I know Kara. Let’s give them a call.”

A week later, the extra room was emptied and two strangers were moving in. Kara and Stan, a girl recently graduated from nursing school and her boyfriend finishing his degree in social work while he worked part time as a bartender. Kara and Anna had met when Kara started working at her hospital, and mentioned that she and her boyfriend were looking for places to live together.

I could tell Anna had a crush on Kara. I figured it was part of why she wanted to rent to them, but it’s not like I was about to say something about it. She’d crushed on a few girls before, and I never stopped her from having a little fun, but I was a little worried about how it would affect the dynamics in the house. I hadn’t had a roommate since college, almost seven years ago, and it seemed like I was going right back there as I watched Kara set up pagan shrines in their room. I recognized some of the runes on the statue of a voluptuous woman that said “Freja.”
