I bust out laughing at that."Now, that's hilarious!Not that he isn't cute, but he's not my type."
"No.He isn't your type."
"Do you know what type he is?"
"Pardon?"He frowns.
"TD's bisexual."
His eyes narrow slightly again."No.I didn't know that."
"No one knows, but he is."
Before he can ask how I know, Bella says from the steps."There you two are."
We turn to look at her.I'm struck again by her grace and beauty.We stand up as she walks over.Brad holds his arm out, and she slides into his embrace, puts a hand on his chest, kissing him sweetly on the cheek."Charlie is looking for Siri."
"Thanks, baby.Siri has quite a story.It's fascinating."
She smiles at me."I can't wait to hear it."
Brad drops to his knees, takes the towel, and dries my right foot for me.
"Oh, please.No.That's fine."I tell him, but he ignores me and puts on the first shoe.He repeats the process with my left foot, and Bella comes to put her arm around me to steady me.
She winks at me."He likes to pretend he's Prince Charming.Don't spoil it for him."
I giggle with her."It does feel totally Cinderella-ish.Makes me feel like a Princess."
"Did he tell you how he tried to rescue me when we were teenagers?"She asks as he puts his socks and shoes back on, leaning against her for balance.
"He did, but he didn't tell me how you two reconnected."
He laughs."The short version.We reconnected one summer at the airport.I was working, and she came with her girlfriend to skydive."
"My friend chickened out."
"I volunteered to take her place."
"Begged.He begged to take her place."Bella laughs.
Brad stands, drapes his arms over our shoulders, and says."There is something beautiful that connects you on a whole other level as your souls share the honesty of screaming at the top of your lungs as you plummet to the earth."He mimics Bella, and she pushes him, laughing.
"As we fell through the sky together, there was only Brad and Bella."She winks."No one else mattered, and nothing else mattered."
"When we landed, we were in love again."
"And my girlfriend was gone."
"That's an awesome story."I laugh with them, then I ask."So, Bella, were you a lesbian then?"
She looks at Brad as if he's let the cat out of the bag, and he answers."She just knew!"Then he answers me."No, she wasn't.Never has been.She's more bi-curious."
"Ah," I note his choice of wording."So, have you been with a woman yet?"I ask her.
Bella laughs."Sort of."
Brad laughs with her and explains."I opened the door at our Halloween party and caught her in the act of getting her pussy licked by Wilma Flintstone.I said, 'Excuse me, dear.Didn't mean to interrupt your little secret.Carry on.'"
