It was a bit of a weird situation for me. At the time I considered myself “straight” (despite a certain [blowjob in the public showers](https://www.reddit.com/r/gonewildstories/comments/636oyh/a_show_and_a_bj_in_a_public_shower_mm/) some time before), and my best friend Jay was gay. He’d made several passes at me when we were drunk but, despite the fact that he was fairly attractive and someone I cared for, I always politely turned him down (probably because we were always in mixed company and he wasn’t publicly “out” yet so it would have been pretty bad). It never got awkward for more than a second.
Meanwhile, I had this crush on my friend Kit. Well I say “crush”… Let’s just call it what it is: I thought she was hot as hell. She was pale, slim, big eyes, great smile, and with legs that just went on and on and on… She was an inch taller than me too, so around 6′ 2” or so. Spent a LOT of time thinking about those long, long legs wrapping around me.
Unfortunately she was interested in Jay. Him being gay was just another challenge for her. She wanted what she wanted. It’s one of the reasons I respected her as a friend actually, that whole goal-driven thing.
