Phallic Friday - writers lunch threesome

Sorry my post is late again, Friday snuck up on me!

I went to lunch this week with a couple of writers - one is in RWA and one isn't. One male (RWA member) and the other female. We meet sporadically to cheer each other on, celebrate milestones, talk writing, and eat. One of the group had done a library talk that day, so we went to that and then had lunch afterwards at a cafe with outdoor seating so we could spread out and talk properly!

I had received in the mail the Submission book, so I'd taken it along for petting. And we were looking at it just as our lunch arrived. But I didn't really think anything of that until later.

So, our conversation turned to sex, because of the book initially, with a one-on-one sex writing assistance being discussed. We were laughing and being silly, as you do. Then we got onto more general sex discussion, like Rolf Harris, Jimmy Saville, and other people in that vein. We talked about childhood and paedophilia - now and in the past. We talked about topical issues without really referring much to writing - incredible for writers, hey?

We finished lunch and chatting and stood to leave. The male in our group says, "Well, it was lovely to have a threesome again. I really enjoyed it." The other female says, "Oh, yes, I love our threesomes."

The waiter is hovering just behind them. I sneak a look at his face - stunned shock. He clears his throat. "Excuse me," he says, "I think I came in at the wrong end of that conversation."

We all laugh and the male member says, "Oh, you just don't know what you're missing."

We walk out, laughing a lot at the poor waiter's stunned, blushing face. He was probably in his 20s, we're two 40s women and the male is probably late 60s. Wonder if he heard any of the rest of our conversation? That would have been an education for him!

And so, an innocent writers lunch goes phallic... and I promise it wasn't all my doing!!

    1. I wonder what he said. It probably had the words, "these old farts", in it somewhere.
