I honored the code, but maybe I shouldn't have?
Was at a small house party years ago and working out came up. On a bet, I took the shirt off and did 75 slow and in GOOD FORM sweetheart push-ups in a row. $20 in my pocket. Chest, shoulders and arms are jacked from the pump. I'm pretty wasted and head up stairs to crash. A few minutes later I hear my name and a chick coming up the stairs. She was the former girlfriend of a guy I was on a sports team with for a couple of years.
She's drunk, lays down beside me and begins the proposition. All I can think about is my raging boner and how hot she is. Been wanting to bang her for years. Now I'm at the doorstep and I can't get past the fact that up until a few months ago she used to date my friend. What to do?
I said "You know your ex and I are friends, right?". She says "How good of friends are you?". I responded "Good enough" and nothing else. Within a minute she got her rejected head off my shoulder and left.
Did I do the right thing? Yea, I think I did. Do I regret not pounding her? Yep, I do.
I don't think my friend would have done the same for me. As fate would laughingly have it, I haven't seen the guy since a few weeks before the party. At least my conscious is clear on that one.
