Over the last two months, Neil and I had met and started playing with Jason, a six-foot, five-inch black man. The three of us had got together a coupl... of times a week and Neil and I had agreed that we were happy to continue this arrangement in 2017. But in this last week, Jason had told us that he wanted to take things to the next level. He was happy to still be my ‘fuck-buddy’ when the three of us met and played together.

She wondered what school was like, and what my apartment was like. I thought about inviting her over, but I knew what would happen if I did, so I let that thought lie..
