The Gay Lifestyle part 3

Continuation of The Gay Lifestyle.

My friend and the sister rejoined us with their drinks. The four of us stood in the crowd talking, looking around, and generally doing the nothing that is hanging out at a club. Eventually, we wanted to dance, so we went up on the dance floor as a foursome and danced gaily (again, pun intended).

After a while, the DJ put on a slow song. The sisters stepped off the dance floor, but I snagged my friend and we stayed. We were the only boy-girl couple on the dance floor. OK, now I have some idea of how a gay/lesbian couple feels at a normal night club. It really did feel kind of weird. I felt like everyone was staring at us, but really, they probably weren’t.

Most of the same-sex couples slow dancing were just dancing close and talking in each others’ ear, enjoying some slow time with each other. Nothing shocking — I had already gotten over the mild first-contact shock of seeing men arm-in-arm with men, and women arm-in-arm with women. But there were two slow-dancing women right next to me and my friend who were . . . getting “closer,” shall we say.

Everyone was fully dressed. But still. To all the men reading this and wondering all the questions I bet your wondering, let me just answer with, “Yes.”

My friend was a bit embarrassed by the girls next to us. I didn’t verbally question her embarrassment, but it did cross my mind, You’re bi, shouldn’t we both be having the same thoughts about that scene?

After the slow song, we rejoined the sisters. We all danced some more, talked some more, and they drank some more. The next slow song had me dancing with the straight sister. The “closer” girls were slow dancing again, but they were much more calm than before.

“They finished up in the ladies’ room,” my dance partner told me. She had seen them come out of one of the stalls together while she had been in the room.

“Just like that,” I commented.

“Yeah,” she said, “I guess that’s a benefit.”
