Kathleen wanted to wait a while before she contacted Amantha. She thought it might seem strange if she called her too soon. Until then, she looked her up on Facebook. She’d actually done this a handful of times in the past, but Amantha appeared to be a very private person and didn’t share much with the public.
She wondered what she might say to Amantha when she called her, and if Amantha would even want to get together. People often gave their numbers to others and mentioned getting together without actually meaning it, but were usually just being friendly and making what many would refer to as small talk—even if you were a little older.
But after deciding to give it two weeks, she was both surprised and delighted to find that Amantha was more than just talk. Such a refreshing breath of fresh air too—to be able to connect with someone real. She’d dealt with enough phoniness in her life, so she really appreciated those who made good on their word.
Kathleen giggled to herself. She almost felt like she was anticipating a date. In a sense, she supposed that was exactly what it was. They just weren’t going to be intimate, regardless of her attraction to Amantha. She liked her as well, although she didn’t know that much about her. Amantha could have all kinds of skeletons in her closet for all she knew. After all, everyone had a weird and/or dark side, and by some people’s standards, Kathleen knew she was no exception.
“Oh, wow. Hi, Kathleen,” Amantha said in a chipper voice.
“Hello there. How are you doing this pleasant Saturday afternoon?”
“I’m doing fine. And you?”
“Oh, I’m just dandy.”
They chatted for a while and then Kathleen picked Amantha up the next day. It turned out to be a fun day, too. She laughed and smiled more in that one day than she usually did in a week or two. Amantha was beautiful, and she had a great sense of humor and interesting things to say.
They first went out to lunch and then they browsed some shops together. She was eager to get to know Amantha some more but was careful not to ask too many questions and appear nosy.
What intrigued Kathleen the most was her relationship with her husband, Roland. Amantha never so much as came out and said so, but she gave the impression that they were in an open relationship of sorts. This left Kathleen wondering after she dropped Amantha back off at her place.
Just how “open” was it?
