Rob (Friday Night Part 1)

Rob is a friend of mine I've always thought was really attractive. He's lived in Boston the whole time I've known him. I met him through my former roommate Katie about two years ago. They were friends in high school, and they actually briefly dated when they were 15. Katie now has a fiancee that she lives with, but her and Rob are still close and he comes to New York to visit her every few months. Katie's fiancee is kind of a jealous guy, even though there's nothing going on between them, so when he comes, he usually stays with me and my two roommates. We also have a much bigger apartment.

When he comes, he usually comes with his best friend Sam. I adore both of them, but Rob caught my eye especially this summer. In June Katie, Rob, Sam, my roommates and I were all at brunch and Sam started telling this story. When he was in college he knew this girl, Sarah, who wanted to be a nun.  Sam was really attracted to Sarah, and he thought that Sarah liked him too. She was devoted to becoming a nun, so she would never let anything happen. About a year ago, she started to have some major doubts, and asked Sam to come an visit her. She wanted to hook up with him, but not have sex. 

They were hooking up when she started begging him to spank her. Sam said that he was totally taken aback and had no idea what to do. He said he didn't want to hurt her, and he thought it was too weird so he got up and left. As he was telling the story, he was like "Isn't that the weirdest thing? Why would anyone want that? I could never hurt someone I was with"

So Rob who's had his face in his breakfast, looks up and shakes his head, "Oh I definitely could. I would totally be into that. If a girl asked me to spank her,  I would fucking love it."

Of course, everyone at the table starts disagreeing. I've been sitting pretty quietly, probably blushing deep red through this whole thing. So I pipe up "You know, I think everyone has something they're in to that they don't always announce. And this is probably why, because we're all sitting around here, talking about how weird this girl is." Which I think shut everyone up pretty quickly.

I was already pretty attracted to Rob, I actually kind of thought that if he moved to New York in the future, we would date. That pretty much did it, and I decided that I wanted him. But he's a good guy, and he had a girlfriend. I actually would want to be serious with him later, so I wouldn't want him to cheat on anyone with me.

Well, he always had a girlfriend until last weekend. Sam and Rob are moving to Denver. They've always wanted to drive cross country and move there together. They're moving after Thanksgiving, but Rob already quit his job and is staying with his family in upstate new york until they leave. The two of them came down for a visit. Usually I would know if they were coming to New York, but I've been out of town on business a lot lately, and have been out of touch with most of my friends. So I got into town Friday morning from Washington DC. I had taken a questionable "travel day"- my favorite move to pull- and showed up at a birthday party. 

I didn't realize I was unexpected, but when I walked in Sam ran at me and lifted me in a huge hug.  "Rose! We had no idea you were going to be here!" I saw Rob at the bar, and he looked so cute. I ran up behind him and gave him a flirtatious hug. He was also very excited that I wasn't still out of town.

I was sitting with Sam having a beer, and he was telling me that he and his girlfriend were staying together even though he was moving. I asked about Rob and his girlfriend, and Sam laughed and said, "Yeah, they broke up. Thank God, I never liked her."

"Really? I liked her."

"Maybe because I'm his best friend I'm more protective, but I never thought she was good enough. Wait, when did you meet her?"

Now over the summer I made a kind of dumb decision to go visit this guy I had been seeing in New York before he moved to Boston. We had only really been on two dates before he moved. He had begged and pleaded for me to come down and see him, and said he missed me. I'm kind of impulsive, so even though I didn't know him that well, I went to see him. He turned out to be a huge asshole, and it ended with me leaving his apartment in the middle of the night. I don't know Boston at all, I have a cousin who lives there but was out of town, so I had a suitcase and I was standing on a street corner. I called Rob crying and he and his girlfriend came to pick me up. I was kind of embarrassed about the whole thing. I don't like talking about it at all.

"When I was in Boston this summer. Didn't Rob tell you he had to pick me up crying from a street corner?"

"No. No he never told me that" Sam looked kind of concerned, "I can't believe he didn't tell me that, especially because I know he's such a huge Rose fan, and if he saw you I can't believe he wouldn't tell me."

Hot and Discreet. Open to Spanking. What more could I ask for?
