Georgie's Road - Sex Stories

Georgie's Road

... anyone could make Georgie melt, it would have been her.

We talked about it, and it emerged that they'd indeed been very happy except for one thing: Georgie never had an orgasm when they made love. Louise was the sort of person who could have an orgasm just by thinking hard about Dua Lipa.

'I don't understand,' Louise said. 'I mean, I tried everything. I think. I thought maybe she's ace, but I don't think so. It's just some intimacy thing.'

She sipped her vodka and coke and looked miserable.

'She never had one with me, either,' I said.

'Never?' Louise said. 'God. She didn't tell me that.'

At that point, my phone rang. It was Georgie. I went outside.

'Hi,' I said, 'what's up.'

'I broke up with Louise,' came Georgie's voice, sounding hoarse.

'I know,' I said, 'I'm in the pub with her.'

'Oh fuck,' she said. 'I wanted to come and see you.'

'Maybe tomorrow?' I said.

'Okay.'

'How are you?'

'Miserable. It didn't happen with her. I feel like shit because she's so great, but... I just don't think I really fancy girls.'

'Well, I won't tell her that.'

'Please don't.'

'Okay,' I said, 'look after yourself, okay? I'll see you tomorrow.'

I went back in to Louise.

The next day, I skipped a lecture and went to see Georgie.

She answered the door in her pyjamas. Her face was red. She invited me in and put the kettle on.

'It's so humiliating,' she said. 'Poor Louise.'

'What are you gonna do,' I said.

'I don't know,' ...

... George said absently, staring at the floor, nursing her cup of tea.

None of the usual phrases seemed up to the job. The idea of telling her to not worry about it seemed insensitive. Going to a sex therapist would cost money.

The girl I liked most in the world, and who I most lusted after, and whose opinion I cared about the most, was sitting opposite me, dejected that her ex-girlfriend couldn't satisfy her.

There is no manual for what you do, at these moments. I envisaged many cups of tea, many cupcakes. If that was what Georgie and I were about from now on, well, so be it. I didn't know what else to do.

Then, Georgie looked up at me.

'Can we get back together?' she said suddenly.

'Who?'

'You and me.'

My heart leaped, but at the same time it felt like a betrayal of Louise. And I couldn't help wondering if this time Georgie would get tired of me after three months, and decide that she just needed a better boyfriend.

'Isn't it a bit soon to be on the rebound with someone?' I said.

'Don't you want to?'

'Of course I do,' I said, 'but you literally just broke up with Louise.'

'I just want to feel something other than this,' she said, miserably.

'Yes,' I said, finally. 'We can get back together. But whatever's making you not able to come, you have to let me help you find the solution.'

'Okay,' Georgie said.

She looked at me for a long moment, then got up and headed for the door.

'I'll be back in a moment,' she said. 'Stay there.'

She ...
