*The first two paragraphs that give a background from 2008 leading up to the event.
Mike and I have been friends since the early 2000’s when we were classmates in college. A few years after college he met, Lauren. Lauren and I immediately clicked and became friends. She was a brunet with wavy hair and since she was into fitness, she had an amazing body. A few years later, she got into CrossFit and her body went from amazing to unbelievable. The results were so good that I joined Crossfit too and a had transformation myself, think Chris Pratt. I always had a slight crush on her, she was a lot of fun and had a contagious laugh. They got married two years later. Along with a few other friends, we hung out and went on vacations. Even though I lived out of state, I would go up to visit and would stay at their house. They occasionally would come down and visit me. At social gatherings, we always seemed to gravitate towards each other, whether it was talking at a bar or sitting next to each other at a restaurant. I always considered Mike and Lauren one of my closest friends. I was single for years and she was always asking me why I haven’t found a girl. I never had an answer. I called them one day and they were at the tattoo parlor. It was common that Laruen and I would chat by text, nothing more than just friend stuff. Unexpectedly, she sent me a picture of her new tattoo and a text that read “I never showed you how crazy I was”. The tattoo was nice, it went from her hip up to her right shoulder along her ribs. What really struck me was the picture was risqué, she was wearing only black lace undies, slightly pulled down so I could see the top of her crack. She was holding her arms over her boobs, but I could see under and side boob. Her body was amazing. Up until this point, I had a slight crush on her, but this turned into having fantasies about her. We never spoke about the picture and I was never sure if Mike knew.
