The Forbidden Fruit (age Gap)

I met this guy, Jake (40s). We started hanging out and eventually he started asking me out. The thing is… I’m honestly not that attracted to him, but I still agreed to go out a few times.

One night he invited his friend Luke (60s) to join us for dinner.

Dinner was fine, nothing special. Afterward we all went back to Luke’s house to hang out. At some point Jake completely knocked out on the couch.

So it was just me and Luke sitting there talking.

And something about the energy shifted.

There was this unspoken tension in the room. Nothing happened. We just kept talking like everything was normal.

But the weird part is… I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Not because I want a relationship with Luke. It’s more like curiosity… like the feeling of wanting to try forbidden fruit just once.

Here’s the part that makes this messy.

I don’t actually know how close Jake and Luke are. If I randomly text Luke there’s a chance he could immediately tell Jake.

So I had this idea.

If we ever hang out at Luke’s place again, I might “accidentally” leave something behind… like my lip gloss. Then later that night text him asking if he’s seen it and if I could stop by to pick it up.
