TELEPHONE CONSCIENCE

The phone rings shrilly, jolting me out of my sleep. I look blearily at the red glowing alarm clock near by bedside and wince when I see the time. I can’t imagine who would be calling me at this hour. I pick up the phone and croak out a hello.

“Hey, sexy,” I hear a voice purr on the other line.

It takes me a split-second to recognize the woman’s voice. “Terri?” I guess, sitting up slightly in my bed.

“I know, it’s been a while,” she says, her words dipped in regret.

“Yeah, it has,” I agree. I look at my alarm clock again. Why is she calling me at this hour?

“I’ve been thinking about you,” she tells me.

I blink a few times. The words don’t seem to be computing in my sleep-fogged brain.

Terri and I had met nearly half a year ago through a mutual friend. I had a few summer months off from teaching and was looking for new people to spend time with during the days. She wasn’t the typical person I would be attracted to or even the kind of woman I’d want to befriend. We’d go tanning together, smoked cigarettes, played video games, and drank bad coffee together at all-night diners. She was the kind of person who seemed to bring out my vices. And, she thought my sexuality was the most interesting thing ever.

I met her parents once. The four of us had had dinner together at Terri’s childhood home, and I was pretty and femme and polished and polite. Her parents adored me and asked Terri why she couldn’t spend more time with people like myself. Terri laughed, rolling her eyes and commented that maybe she should date me if they liked me so much. Surprisingly, they weren’t against the idea.

Terri had a thing for the Bad Boys and Unattainable Men – the guy with a handful of girlfriends and maybe even a wife and a couple of kids in the mix – wholly uneducated men who drove cars nicer than their houses. I couldn’t understand her affinity for them, but she pointed out she couldn’t understand why I was only attracted to other women. So I decided to show her why.

It became a game between the two of us – a game of chicken – how far would the other one push? She’d spend the night at my apartment, sleeping next to me in my bed and stripping down to her bra and underwear. I’d pretend it didn’t affect me, and sleep with my hand casually draped around her waifish waist, my fingers stroking along her flat abdomen. And then she’d groan and tell me how good it felt, and I’d tease her back saying, “But I’m a girl, Terri. You’re not supposed to get turned on.”

I might have taken a few cheap shots, kissing the back of her neck and breathing warmly against her ear. But I never took it any further than that. I know I could have done more, and she wouldn’t have turned me down.
