The Best Friend

This is exactly what I’ve been needing. A girls night out. Things have been so stressful at work, and the weird tension with Jason has been hard. I don’t know what it is but we haven’t had sex in three weeks. Not that it’s the sole basis of a relationship. But, it’s a pretty big part of it. And when I asked him about it he got all defensive and said maybe I was the one who wasn’t trying or being sexual. Alright my guy, I’m literally standing here in thigh high nylons and a sheer bra, but it’s me. “Bitch don’t do that thing where you try and do a winged eye liner…your eyes are too round. It never works.” Mia says from her bed as he scrolls her phone. For a best friend she is really mean sometimes. “It does too work! And fuck you for saying that!” I turn to glare at her from the vanity I’m sitting at. She rolls her eyes at me. “You just end up looking like one of those…what do you call them? People put their hand up their asses?” I give her a look.“Are you confessing something to me?” I ask with a smirk.She sits up and rolls her eyes. Her curly brown hair and brown skin glow under the setting sun coming in from her bedroom window. She puts her hand up and makes a talking motion.“Oh…a ventriloquist doll.” I say turning back to the mirror.“That. Yeah. That’s how you look.” “I’m so glad I came over here to get ready with my best friend who I love and adore who makes fun of me and makes me feel like shit.” I say in a mocking tone. Mia scoots to the edge of the bed so her feet touch the floor.“Yes you are. You need to get out of that house of no sexual contact.” I whip around and look at her.“I didn’t say there was no sexual contact! I said it’s been awhile!” My blue floral robe slips open slightly and I pull it closed.She rolls her eyes again.“Sure. When was the last time Jason kissed you?” “Before I left to come here bitch!”“With tongue?” She gives me a sharp look.I narrow my eyes at her. I can’t remember.“Uh huh. That’s what I thought.” She stands and walks to her closet, rummaging through its contents. I face the mirror again. “He’s just been busy. We both have. This happens with couples. You just don’t know because you jump from one dick to the next like it's a choose your own adventure book.” She turns slowly around to look at me. I look at her in the mirror.“At least I’m having an adventure.” That stung. “I’ve had adventures Mia.” I say, the hurt in my voice.“Yeah, key word there is had babe. You had. You are vanilla ice cream now.”I pull back. Vanilla ice cream? No I wasn’t. I still did stuff. I still got wild. Sure as long as it happened before 10:00 PM, but I could still get wild. I mean, No I wasn’t having threesomes anymore or
