Back in college I had a very close guy friend. He used to live really close to my house and within no time, we became really great friends. Since we lived close by we would just meet up for a walk after dinner or go out for ice-cream, some days he would take me out for a drive. Slowly things developed in a way that we started flirting with each other…quite a bit, if I may add. And it was fun!
Why wouldn’t it be, right? We were friends, so no one had a problem with us hanging out all the time or talking on the phone. He knew my likes and dislikes and life was just easier with tons of flirting and no commitment.
Then one day, he called me up after dinner, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ he asked. ‘Nothing much, you wanna go out for a walk?’ I asked.
‘Well, you know, my parents have gone out for a wedding, so why don’t you come over instead?’ he replied.
‘What will we do at your house? Let’s just get some fresh air no!’ I said.
‘You know what we’ll do…’ he whispered.
‘What do you mean?’ I enquired with a hesitant voice.
‘I mean, don’t you think it’s high time we end the flirting and take it up a notch?’ he uttered.
My heart was beating fast and at the same time my mind went blank. What was he talking about? Take it up a notch? But we were friends. I mean fine, we had been seriously flirting with each other but going to his empty house could only mean one thing and I was definitely not up for it. Being pretty inexperienced with booty calls, I had no clue what to say or how to refuse this offer. I didn’t want him to feel rejected but I didn’t want to go ahead with his plans either.
‘Uh, actually, my mom is calling me right now, I’ll call you in a bit, okay?’ I quickly muttered and hung up the call. My mind was spinning, how was I supposed to deal with this situation without losing a friend? Before I had time to contemplate anything, my phone rang again – it was him.
‘Hello?’ I spoke. ‘Listen, don’t get creeped out. This doesn’t have to be anything serious, I know both of us are not looking for something like that right now.’ he said. ‘Uh, yeah, but…’ I started to speak. ‘Let me come over, huh? I will come pick you up and we’ll come back here and discuss it further.’ he said.
‘Actually, no, don’t come over. Let’s meet tomorrow and talk about this.’ I said resisting his request. But he kept going on, ‘Why? I am telling you it will not ruin anything for us, it’s nothing serious…’
I started to get a weird vibe from the constant pressure. ‘Listen, let’s just talk tomorrow. I have to go now, bye.’ after which I hung up again. I was just trying to make sense of what was happening when he sent me a text – ‘Don’t get upset. I am driving to your house, come out in five and we’ll talk about it.’ By now, I was furious! Why was he being so adamant about this? Annoyed, I switched off my phone and decided not to meet him even if he showed up.
However, ten minutes later, I started to wonder what would happen if he really showed up! So from my window, I peeked out to find his car parked outside my house. I started to freak out and couldn’t understand what this sudden horniness was all about. I was battling my decision, thinking whether I should go out and meet him or completely ignore it.
I decided to do the latter and even though, as a friend I really didn’t like doing it, I felt like if I didn’t want to do something, no good friend would force me this way. He did apologize to me multiple times after that but our relationship could not go back to what it was. It made me sad, yes, but I decided it was for the best.
So that was my first booty call experience and it was an absolute disaster! However, not all of them after this one have been all that bad. I’ve just learned to trust better people!
