We’re back! Okay, it’s my turn. When we left off, Giuseppe and I finally started to date. It was awkward at first. But as the weeks and months went on, I was getting use to the idea. And Mutual Friend? I was getting use to him being around from time to time. Besides it wasn’t like he was around 24/7. In fact, we could go a whole month and maybe see him four times. At work of course we saw him, but it was always business. When we traveled, it was more like us just being the friends that we are. He respected our relationship, our space and time together. Sometimes, Mutual friend and I would be alone, because Giuseppe had work to do, or he was out of town on business. Mutual friend was left to hold down things, and we would hang out. Not once did he come on to me or suggest anything inappropriate. He respected and valued his friendship with Giuseppe too. Now, what the two talked about in private, I have no idea. To this day, I don’t have any idea what the two talked about that got us to this point. But I digress. Mutual Friend did nothing but try to bring us closer together. One Valentine’s Day, he bought us tickets for a seven-day cruise. Another time he got us hotel reservations at a fancy hotel with spa, just so we could spend time together, because work was driving us crazy. When Giuseppe and I got into arguments, and neither one of us wanted to speak to the other, Mutual Friend was there to help patch things up. I wondered about this. I guess being suspicious, not trusting that sometimes people did things out of the goodness of their heart. You get cynical in life you know. I asked Mutual Friend why he was so concerned about our happiness. This hit him hard. He was hurt by the question. I remember him saying to me: “All these years that the three of us have been to together, you haven’t figured out that I love both you and Giuseppe. I don’t want to see either one of you hurt or unhappy. I was in tears. This was such an unselfish love; I didn’t know could exist. And two, I wanted him to have someone special. He deserved someone that would worship him, treat him well, spoil him. So now I was on a quest to find him someone. This was hard. When Giuseppe and I went through my list of girlfriends that would be suitable for Mutual Friend. I had a huge list of crossed off names. Yeah, Giuseppe and I figured out that no one in my circle of friends was good enough. It wasn’t that they were bad people, or anything like that. But they didn’t have the free spirit that Mutual Friend needed. Which kinda surprised me, that I had friend that were that dull. Hmm. So one month Giuseppe and I decided to do something drastic. Go back to Mutual Friends’ home to see if there was a nice Italian girl for him BIG MISTAKE. Once we got there and Mutual Friend found out what we were trying to do, he left us there and came back to the States. SIGH Back to this later. Anywho, at the beginning of the relationship with Giuseppe, I was nervous over one thing. Sleeping with him. One would think, that since I knew him for so many years, and seen him naked at times, that this was a no brainer. It was actually harder. Even though we were going together now, I still saw him as a friend, A very good friend. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I wanted to keep our relationship pure. This was not going to work. After the six months, Giuseppe had had it. He said we either get married so we could consummate the relationship, or we have to figure something else out. Again, Mutual Friend ran interference. He explained the situation to Giuseppe and me. Yes Giuseppe was hurt, because of what I was thinking. I can see that. But we were still at an impasse. Mutual Friend said he could only do so much. We either got drunk and sleep together or figure something out. He thought maybe it was familiar surroundings. Everything reminded me of our friendship. So Mutual friend arranged it so that Giuseppe could take off from work for three weeks. My business I could do anywhere, and since I was helping them too, I had time off with Giuseppe. He gave Giuseppe and I a present. First of many as I mentioned earlier. It was reservations to a resort in Mexico. Funny enough, Mexico was one place I never visited. I guess because it’s right there I could go anytime. LOL But this was a lovely resort. Giuseppe and I were discovering new things, going to museums, hiking to ancient grounds. It was nice and relaxing. So relaxing, that I was able to let go of any hang-ups and Giuseppe and I made love for the first time. NOT GETTING INTO ANY DETAILS It was nice, he was sweet, I could tell be held back a lot. but that was okay. We had plenty of opportunities later. Once we got back home, Mutual Friend could tell everything was okay. He was happy, But Giuseppe and I were still sad for him. He deserved someone very special, not just any woman, that saw him as a sexy Italian. That kind of thinking can get old quick, trust me. LOL So without Mutual Friend’s knowledge, we were going to try to get him hooked up. Some of this ended up funny, angry and just plain indifferent and frustrating. That’s next time, and I think I’ll let you hear that from the horse’s mouth.
