Loading...The room was dark with a strange red tint as he softly kissed her lips, gently parting them with his tongue. His hands roamed freely over her body and down her back. He squeezed her ass and pulled her pelvis tightly against his. She could feel his hard cock trying to escape his confining jeans and reach out to her. Her heart pounded and her pussy longed to feel him inside of her.
His kisses moved down to her neck. He pulled away and quickly pulled off her shirt. His lips returned instantly, gently gliding over her throat, sending chills through her body despite the heat of the room. His tongue trailed down in between her breast, and his hands slid down the back of her pants and continued massaging her ass.
Suddenly she became aware of another pair of hands unhooking her bra. She wanted to turn around to see their face, but couldn’t move. As if she were hypnotized, she found herself lost in the sensation of the stranger’s kisses on the back of her neck. The stranger removed her bra and their hands went straight for her breast. She closed her eyes and let out a moan as the soft hands kneaded her tits and squeezed her nipples between their fingers. The kisses on her neck intensified, and the feel of their hot breath made her pussy even wetter. Her head swirled as the four hands and two pairs of lips touched all the right spots on her body.
Her boyfriend kissed his way down her stomach, unzipped her pants, and pulled them down. He kissed her clit through the thin fabric of her panties causing another moan to escape her lips.
Then the stranger removed one hand from her breast and brought it to her chin. They gently turned her head towards them and she could finally see who it was. “It couldn’t be,” she thought. “This is wrong. Not my best friend. I can’t… I shouldn’t…” But something inside her longed to be close to them and yearned for the kiss as their lips moved closer together…
“Good morning! It’s seven o’clock on this beautiful Monday morning here at 105.5 WHUZ,” The sudden cheery voice of the radio announcer woke Sarah with a start. She looked around the room for her boyfriend and friend. It took her a few seconds to realize she’d only been dreaming. It was the same dream she’d been having for a month now. She closed her eyes and brushed the hair out of her face. She could still feel her friend’s gentle kisses on her neck and her panties felt damp from her juices. “Why do I keep dreaming about her?” She asked herself. “I know I’m not gay, plus I love Tom. So why am I having so many wet dreams about Kelly?” She took a deep breath and threw back the covers, still thinking about Kelly. Today was the day she was to see her childhood friend for the first time in five years.
They were more like sisters than friends really. They had shared everything growing up; neither could keep a secret from the other. Sarah was even the first -and only- person Kelly confided in when she was still unsure of her sexuality. Though Sarah didn’t personally understand homosexuality, she had nothing against it. The thought of being with another girl herself, however, usually disgusted Sarah. At least, up until the dreams started. She didn’t want to admit it, but now she could definitely see herself making love to her friend. She knew she wasn’t in love with Kelly though. It was almost as if she was under some sort of sexual spell. But with the feelings in the dreams starting to get so intense, Sarah couldn’t help but wonder if these sexual feelings might’ve in fact became something deeper if she hadn’t been forced to move away when her parent’s divorced. But now that Kelly’s going to be back in her life, even though it was just for a week, the contingency of falling for her friend scared her.
Sarah got up and walked into the bathroom, the thought of Kelly kissing and caressing her still lingered in her mind. Splashing her face with cold water, she tried to focus on other things, but to no avail. As much as she wanted to deny it, her heart skipped a beat with every imaginary touch from Kelly. “OK, take a deep breath,” She inhaled deeply through her nose, and exhaled through her mouth. “I’ve got to pick up Kelly at the airport at eleven and have lots of stuff to do before then. So get a move on,” She told the reflection in the mirror. She started getting dressed and finally managed to concentrate a little better on things other than the dream. At least until she saw Kelly face to face…
The airport was crowded. There were long lines of people waiting impatiently to have their luggage checked, and dozens of people scurrying around the souvenir shops and restaurants. Sarah swallowed hard and tried to settle the butterflies in her stomach as she walked through the crowded terminal. The roar of voices nearly drowned out the sound of her heart beat in her ears. Nervously, she glanced at her watch. 10:59 AM. Any minute now Kelly was going to be getting off the plane.
Even though they wrote letters occasionally, five years was a long time. People change, especially in their last teen years. When they were kids, Kelly was always the clown. Now, in her letters, she seemed to be more serious than Sarah remembered. Sarah wondered in what other ways Kelly was different.
She nervously tugged on her blouse as the first person getting off the plane finally appeared, and her heartbeat accelerated with each unfamiliar face that entered the terminal. She took one more deep breath, and then Kelly appeared, wearing a white t-shirt tucked into her blue-jean shorts, carrying a book in her hand. Tall, with dark hair and blue eyes to die for, she had definitely developed into a beautiful young woman. Sarah waved to her, and realized she was holding her breath. She exhaled in a sigh as their eyes met.
Kelly smiled and quickly made her way over to her friend. “Hey!” She wrapped Sarah in a big hug. “I can’t believe it’s been five years. You haven’t changed a bit.”
Sarah inhaled deeply the scent of Kelly’s perfume and felt the same hypnotic sense as in her dreams wash over her. “You have,” she replied. “You look good.”
“I’ve always looked good,” Kelly joked as she pulled away.
“Ha!” Sarah teased. Kelly had looked a little plain when she was younger, but hadn’t exactly been bad looking either.
“Look who’s calling the kettle black,” Kelly retorted.
Both smiling, they walked side by side to pick up Kelly’s luggage.
Ten minutes later, they stood staring at the conveyer belt as the last piece of luggage was picked up. “I can’t believe they lost my luggage,” Kelly complained.
“It’ll show up soon,” Sarah tried to reassure her.
“I knew I should’ve stuck an extra pair of underwear in my pocket just in case.”
Sarah chuckled and gave Kelly a small, one-armed hug around her shoulders. In that instant, she had a towering urge to pull Kelly close and kiss her. Having these thoughts with Kelly right next to her made her blush. This is going to be a long week, she thought to herself.
Later that evening, they were hanging out in the guest room -where Kelly would be sleeping- talking and laughing about old times. “Remember the first time you came over?” Kelly laughed.
“Ugh,” Sarah grimaced.
“You were so shy and scared of my parents that you kept falling down, and dropping things, and sticking your foot in your mouth.”
“I was so embarrassed I refused to come over again for months afterwards,” Sarah recalled.
“Sarah,” Mrs. Fitch appeared in the half-open doorway struggling to fasten a gold earring. “Steve and I are getting ready to leave for that dinner party and we won’t be back ’til pretty late, so don’t wait up.”
Sarah’s stepfather Steve appeared behind her mom. “Try not to burn the house down while we’re gone.”
“Bye,” Sarah waved to her parents and listened to their footsteps as they walked downstairs and out the door. As soon as she heard the car pull out, she went into her room to retrieve her hidden box of alcoholic drinks. “Want a beer?” She offered Kelly when she returned.
“Sure. But aren’t they a bit warm?”
“I can stick them in the freezer and they’ll be cold in about fifteen minutes.” Sarah sat the box down, grabbed a couple cans of beer, and started to the door.
“You know, I tried to talk you into drinking for years, but you were always too much of a goody-two-shoes. When did that change?”
Sarah gave a mischievous grin and left the room without replying. When she returned a minute later she found Kelly snooping around her liquor supply. “Nosy.”
Kelly looked up and grabbed a half empty bottle of vodka. “Fifteen minutes is too long to wait for a buzz,” Now it was Kelly’s turn to give a mischievous grin.
Sarah rolled her eyes, but went back downstairs to get a couple of shot glasses. This time when she returned Kelly was propped up on the bed with a pillow between her back and the head board, and was rolling the bottle between her hands.
She looked up when Sarah appeared. “‘Bout time slow poke,” Kelly teased.
“Shut up,” Sarah walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, handing Kelly a shot glass.
Kelly sat the glass on the bed so she could unscrew the bottle’s lid. After pouring a shot for herself, she handed the bottle to Sarah. “Cheers.” They both held up their glasses and took a drink; Sarah took a sip, Kelly downed it all in one gulp.
“God,” Sarah stared at Kelly’s empty glass, “Thirsty? How can you stand gulping straight vodka?”
Kelly shrugged. “I’m just used to it,” She said as she poured herself another glass.
“You know that stuff’s really bad for you.”
“Well, I’m still alive so far,” Kelly grinned and sipped her vodka this time.
“That’s a shock,” Sarah mumbled.
Kelly ignored her. “So,” Kelly tried to think of something to talk about, “Nice house. Why didn’t you tell me you were living in a mansion? I would’ve visited sooner. Hell I might’ve even moved in.”
Sarah snickered, “It’s hardly a mansion.”
“Please, it’s got, what? Five bedrooms? You’ve even got a balcony for yours.”
“So do my parents,” Sarah pointed out.
“No wonder you don’t want to get out and work and get your own place.”
“I’m trying to get a job. It’s just hard in today’s world. Especially since we’re in a recession.”
An awkward silence fell in the room. “After five years, you’d think we’d have more to talk about,” Kelly observed. She took another sip of her vodka.
“Yeah,” Sarah finished off her glass. “So, what do you wanna do now?”
“I dunno. Is our beer ready yet?”
Sarah glanced at her watch, “It’s only been ten minutes, but I can go get them now if you want.”
Kelly shrugged, “I don’t care.”
Sarah got up to retrieve the beers. As she walked back in the room, Kelly downed the last bit of her vodka. “You’re not gonna get drunk and throw up all over the place are ya?” She asked as she handed her a can of beer.
“Nah,” Kelly set her glass down on the table next to the bed and opened her beer.
Sarah noticed Kelly’s cheeks were starting to flush. Probably buzzed already, she thought to herself. She sat on the bed and scooted up next to Kelly. Laying next to her in bed brought back images of the dream she’d had the night before. Her and Kelly getting ready to make love. Kelly massaging her breasts with just the right amount of pressure and planting soft kisses on the back of her neck and shoulders.
Sarah swallowed hard and opened her can. She thought she saw Kelly staring at her out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned her head Kelly quickly looked away. Sarah’s eyes couldn’t help but trail down Kelly’s perfect body. Her eyes stopped to admire her friend’s bare legs. They were just the right color. Not too tan and not too pale, but perfect. And they looked so smooth and soft Sarah had to restrain herself from rubbing them.
“Like my legs?” Kelly brought a knee up and ran her hand from her knee to the edge of her shorts.
Oh God, Sarah thought. She caught me staring. Sarah’s cheeks got so hot it felt almost like a sunburn.
Kelly noticed her blushing and laughed. “It’s all right. I know my body’s hard to resist,” She said jokingly.
“What?” Sarah acted innocent. “I wasn’t looking at your legs,” She said defensively.
“Uh-huh. Sure,” Kelly teased.
“I was just daydreaming and didn’t realize I was looking in your direction.” It was a bad lie, but it was all she could come up with.
Kelly didn’t buy it, but decided to let the subject go. “So, how’s your love life going?”
“Great. Tom and I are really serious about each other. I think he may be ‘the one’.” Sarah wasn’t sure, but she thought she saw a flicker of disappointment in Kelly’s eyes before she looked away.
“Cool,” Kelly mumbled.
“How about you? Are you a chick magnet yet?”
Kelly laughed. “I wish. I’ve been single so long I’m seriously considering becoming a nun.”
“Don’t you know what ‘nun’ means? I wouldn’t last one week in a convent.”
“Nympho.”
Sarah stuck her tongue out. “What can I say? Sex is great.”
“How can it be great? All you sleep with are men. You should try the soft touch of a female sometime. Now that’s great,” Kelly winked.
“Gross,” Sarah acted disgusted but knew that was a lie too. She did need the soft touch of a female. She needed Kelly’s touch.
Another silence filled the room, and they sat quietly sipping their beers for a few minutes. Sarah was trying to come up with another topic to talk about, but her mind kept wandering back to Kelly’s words about Sarah needing a female’s touch. Had Kelly picked up on her feelings? “Besides,” She said finally, “How can two women have sex? You need a dick to have sex.”
Kelly blushed slightly, “Use your imagination.”
“No seriously,” Sarah insisted. “What do two women do together?”
“Well,” Kelly cleared her throat nervously, “Women can lick and finger. And like, being a woman myself, I know what feels good and what the other woman wants… Usually.”
“Don’t you ever wonder what being with a guy is like?”
“No. I’ve used a, um, vibe before like you know… How a guy would use his…” Kelly felt her cheeks growing hotter with every word.
Sarah laughed as her friend struggled unsuccessfully to find a non-embarrassing way to put it. “Didn’t you like it?”
“No. Didn’t give me any pleasure at all.”
“Well, a real dick is different, maybe you’d like that.”
“Nah,” Kelly took a gulp of beer to lubricate her dry throat. “I prefer softer things. You should try girls. Maybe you’d like that.”
Sarah hadn’t realized it at first, but all the talk about sex, mixed with laying next to Kelly and the visions of last night’s dream, had started to make her wet. “Whew,” She said nervously, “Think I’m getting buzzed already. Guess I can’t hold my liquor as well as I used to.”
“Me neither.”
Sarah’s head began to swim and she felt a little dizzy. “Better stop drinking this so fast,” She sat her half empty can on the table next to Kelly’s glass.
Kelly took one more drink and handed her can to Kelly, “Set mine over there too would ya?”
Sarah complied, “I’m kinda sleepy, even though it’s early.”
“Alcohol has that effect on people.”
Sarah took another drink of her beer then sat it back down on the table. She didn’t remember ever feeling this buzzed after just a couple drinks before. Oh well, she told herself, must just be because I haven’t ate anything in a while.
“I’m kinda sleepy too,” Kelly scooted down in the bed, laid her head on the pillow, and closed her eyes. Her hair gently brushed Sarah’s arm.
Oh, how Sarah wanted to lay over her and kiss her deeply. Nervously, she gulped down the rest of her beer, got up, and put the box of liquor in Kelly’s closet. I shouldn’t be thinking things like that, she scolded herself. It’s wrong, and it’s never going to happen. I gotta get outta here. “I think I’m gonna go lay down in my room.”
Kelly quickly got up to walk Sarah to the door.
Once in the hallway, Sarah turned back to Kelly, “Goodnight. And don’t drink too much.”
Kelly leaned against the door frame and held the door knob in her hand. “I won’t,” She promised. “G’night.”
“G’night.” Sarah said again. For the next few seconds time seemed to stand still as their eyes locked. Kelly’s deep blue eyes seem to magically hold her gaze. Instead of turning towards her room, she instinctively took a step closer to Kelly.
Sarah half expected her to back away, but Kelly stood still, their eyes still locked.
What am I doing? Sarah asked herself. But something kept her moving forward until they were nose to nose.
Kelly tilted her head slightly and moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue.
Sarah raised her arms and placed her hands on Kelly’s hips as their lips met. For a second she thought her heart had skipped out of her chest. Kelly’s kisses were even softer than in her dreams.
The kiss lasted only a few seconds, but Sarah was already starting to breath heavily. Looking into each others eyes again, something told her that more than just a kiss was in store.
Internally, her consciousness was battling with her heart and body. She knew it was wrong, that she should just walk away, but in the end, her body ruled the battle.
Kelly moved her head forward for another kiss. Her hands went up to Sarah’s face and gently caressed her cheeks.
Sarah moved her hands to Kelly’s back and pressed their bodies together.
Kelly wrapped her arms around Sarah too and pulled her back into the room. She broke the kiss long enough to close and lock the door behind them.
“We shouldn’t be doing this,” Sarah started to protest.
“I know,” Was all Kelly said before planting another deep, passionate kiss on Sarah’s lips. Still kissing, they stumbled to the bed and fell on it, Kelly on top of Sarah.
Kelly’s hands moved from Sarah’s back to her chest. She felt Sarah’s hard nipples poke the palms of her hands and gave her breasts a squeeze. She was surprised at how full and soft they were since Sarah had had more of a boyish figure growing up.
Sarah gently rubbed her tongue over Kelly’s lips. Kelly got the signal and opened her mouth wider to allowed their tongues to meet and do a sort of sensual dance with each other. Sarah’s hands went to the back of Kelly’s head to press their lips tighter against each other.
Kelly pulled away and began softly kissing Sarah’s neck, planting kisses from her shoulder up to her earlobe.
Sarah closed her eyes and ran her fingers through Kelly’s silky hair trying to decide if this was really happening or just another dream. She kept expecting the alarm to wake her up any second, but it never did.
Kelly started to unbutton Sarah’s blouse, kissing a trail down the center of her chest and stomach as the delicate skin became exposed. Once she undid the last button, she pulled the blouse open to find Sarah’s nipples protruding through a very sexy black-lace bra and gave them each a kiss.
Sarah sat up slightly to allow Kelly to pull her blouse completely off. She then scooted back on her elbows ’til she felt the pillows touch her arm. Kelly moved with her and knelt over her, putting one leg on each side of Sarah’s waist.
Kelly then moved her hands to Sarah’s back and unhooked her bra. French kissing her, she lowered Sarah slowly until her head rested on the pillow then sat up to pull the bra off. Kelly’s mouth watered as her eyes fell on the two most perfect breasts she’d ever seen. Round, perky, and just the right size to fit in her mouth. Smiling, she looked lustfully into Sarah’s eyes and kissed her lips again. Her hands found Sarah’s breasts once more and began softly fondling them.
Sarah felt a jolt of electricity surge through her heart and course throughout her body as Kelly’s fingers lightly traced over her nipples. Just like in her dreams, Kelly knew exactly how and where to touch her.
Kelly’s kisses moved to Sarah’s cheek. Her lips gently traced the outline of Sarah’s jaw, then planted several soft pecks on the side of her neck and throat. Slowly, Kelly kissed her way down to her breasts. She took Sarah’s right nipple into her mouth, sucking gently while trailing her tongue back and forth over the tip. Very lightly, she took the nipple between her teeth and gave it a couple of soft tugs.
Sarah tilted her head back and let out a moan. She had never been so aroused before. She loved the way Kelly was sucking on her breasts, but her clit was dying for it’s turn to be licked as well. Automatically, she thrust her hips upward, her clit trying to find some way of relieving itself. But Kelly continued to give Sarah the tit-sucking of a lifetime. While gently sucking on one, her hand was caressing and massaging the other.
By the time Kelly started kissing her way down her stomach, Sarah was sure her juices had already soaked through her pants.
Kelly kissed the outline of Sarah’s diaphragm, then kissed down to her bellybutton. Past that point, she switched from kissing to lightly trailing her tongue down to the top of Sarah’s pants. She raised up and started to reach to take Sarah’s shoes off, but remembered they were both already barefoot. Quickly, she undid Sarah’s pants and pulled them off, dropping them off the foot of the bed. She teasingly ran her fingers over Sarah’s clit before sliding off her panties.
For a second, Sarah felt vulnerable and shy laying naked in front of Kelly, but her hormones quickly discarded those feelings so all that was left was the longing for Kelly’s touch.
Starting at her ankles, Kelly began kissing her way back up to Sarah’s awaiting pussy. Her mouth watered as the sweet aroma of Sarah’s womanhood filled her nostrils.
Sarah’s body jerked as Kelly lightly brushed her lips back and forth over her pulsing clitoris, occasionally darting her tongue across the tip. Kelly’s hair lightly teased the inside of her thighs causing a half giggle-half moan to escape her lips. Automatically, she reached up and began teasing her own nipples.
Meanwhile, Kelly slowly trailed her tongue down one side of Sarah’s pussy, and back up the other. When she reached her clit, she stopped to give it a five second tongue massage and soft kiss, then continued to explore the rest of Sarah’s sex with her tongue. She couldn’t remember a time when she had tasted such a sweet pussy. She wanted to taste every bit of Sarah’s wetness that she could, and as soon as she would lick her pussy clean, more of Sarah’s juices would instantly appear to re-lubricate it.
By now Sarah was more turned on than she had ever been. Kelly’s insatiable teasing was about to drive her mad. She thrust her pelvis upwards again, trying to land her clit inside Kelly’s mouth, but Kelly wasn’t through teasing just yet.
Kelly positioned her mouth over Sarah’s hole and slid her long tongue inside, which it greedily accepted. Kelly rolled her tongue up, pulled it out almost completely, then thrust it back inside. She let her tongue explore the smooth, hot walls of Sarah’s pussy a couple of minutes longer, until Sarah started begging her to make her cum.
“Kelly…Please…,” Sarah said between deep breaths and moans. “I want you…I need…to…feel your mouth on…my clit. Please Kelly…suck on it.” She began moaning louder as Kelly complied.
Kelly slowly withdrew her tongue from Sarah’s tight little hole, and ran it upwards to her little love button where she stopped to admire it for the first time. The shiny pink button peeked shyly from underneath it’s hood. She gave it a quick lick and smiled as Sarah moaned loudly. Kelly slowly lowered her mouth over the clit, letting her breath stimulate it until her lips closed tightly around it. She squeezed Sarah’s clit with her lips and gently gave it a tug before releasing it and running the entire length of her tongue from the center of her pussy, to the very top. Ever so gently, she caught Sarah’s clit between her front teeth and darted her tongue quickly back and forth over the tip.
Sarah began thrusting her hips upwards once more, pushing her clit entirely into Kelly’s mouth.
Kelly then slid two fingers inside of Sarah, and took turns between sucking her clit, and using her tongue to spell out letters of the alphabet on top of it.
Sarah’s moans continued to increase in volume and quantity. She moved one hand down and placed it on the back of Kelly’s head. Her other hand continued to squeeze and tug at her nipple.
Sarah’s touch sent chills to Kelly’s heart. She loved the way Sarah was running her fingers through her hair and gently pushing her face tighter against her delicious pussy at the same time.
Her fingers slid rapidly in and out of Sarah’s pussy and she just as quickly ran her tongue back and forth over her clit as Sarah’s body began to quake from a huge orgasm. Kelly continued licking and fingering her even after her orgasm had subsided.
Kelly drew her tongue to a point and pushed Sarah’s clit from side to side and gave it several kisses ranging from soft to intense. She finally closed her lips around it completely and sucked hard.
Meanwhile, her fingers were still exploring the depths of Sarah’s pussy ’til they finally reached Sarah’s g-spot. Using the tips of her fingers, she trailed circles around it until Sarah’s moans filled the entire house.
Kelly began to lap at Sarah’s clit like a cat drinking water. She felt Sarah’s pussy spasm around her fingers and her body quiver. She took Sarah’s tasty little bud back into her mouth and sucked as hard as she could without sucking it completely down her throat. Which, from the way Sarah was moaning, Kelly figured Sarah wouldn’t mind if she had.
Sarah’s cum ran over her fingers as Kelly pulled them out and licked them clean. She then caught some more cum with her tongue as it dripped from Sarah’s pussy and continued to lick her clean until she was satisfied that she had collected every drop of Sarah’s cum.
Sarah lay still with her eyes closed trying to catch her breath. She had always thought her orgasms couldn’t get any better, until now. Her legs felt weak and shaky, and her heart thudded so hard against her chest she thought it might break through her ribs and escape. Her pussy throbbed with both exhaustion and desire for more.
Kelly crawled over top of her and gave her deep kiss that was interrupted by the sound of the front door closing.
Sarah bolted upright, knocking Kelly over onto the bed. “My parents are back!”
Kelly got up to help collect Sarah’s clothes, “Relax, the door’s locked. They aren’t going to walk in on anything.”
Sarah ignored her and quickly got dressed, her mind spinning with a thousand thoughts and feelings. Worrying about what would happen if her parents found out that her and Kelly had just had sex. The feeling that being with Kelly was wrong crept back into Sarah’s consciousness for the first time since they had began kissing. Guilt for cheating on her boyfriend. And still, there was a part of her that felt satisfaction that she finally got to live out her reoccurring dreams. The many different emotions circulating trough her mind eventually blended into numbness as she stumbled to the door. She stopped as she heard her parents trying to quietly make their way upstairs. Her heart and breathing stopped when she thought they might knock on the door to check on them. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard them retreat to their bedroom to get ready for bed.
“Sarah,” Kelly’s voice startled Sarah out of her daze. “You okay?” Her blue eyes bore into Sarah’s, trying to figure out what was going through Sarah’s mind.
“I gotta go,” Was all Sarah said before quietly slipping out the door, and to her own room.
Kelly shut the door behind her and took a deep breath. She was still in disbelief that she had lost control with Sarah like that. It’s true, she had had a secret crush on Sarah for a while, but she knew her best friend better that Sarah knew herself, and she knew that Sarah was straight despite what just happened. Kelly’s heart sunk as she replayed the last couple of minutes in her mind. The way Sarah would barely even look at her as she got dressed and rushed to get away from the room. The look in Sarah’s eyes when she finally did look at her. What look was that? Regret? What if I just lost my best friend? Kelly wondered.
That night, their mixed emotions and confusion over their experience kept both Kelly and Sarah tossing and turning.
The next day, Kelly purposely stayed in bed until she was sure Sarah had left the house, which was around noon. Sarah’s parents were at work, so Kelly had the house to herself to mope around in self pity. Last night she had convinced herself that her friendship with Sarah had been damaged beyond repair by their little sexual escapade, and it was all her fault.
She fixed herself a ham sandwich though she didn’t feel much like eating. She slumped into a chair at the kitchen table and was just about to take a bite when she heard someone enter the front door. Her heart skipped as Sarah walked past the kitchen entrance.
Sarah glanced at Kelly, paused, then hurriedly went upstairs to her room. She pushed the door closed behind her, but evidently not hard enough to latch as it creaked back open slightly. She sunk unto her bed and sighed. She had took a walk around the block to try and sort out her feelings, but instead, the more she thought about last night, the more confused she got. It seemed that one minute she felt guilty, the next she was indignant at herself for betraying Tom, then felt as if she hated Kelly, and then got mad at herself for thinking bad thoughts about a person who had been best friend for so many years. The only thing she thought she was sure of now was that she wished it had never happened. Didn’t she?
She let out a frustrated groan and went out to her balcony for more fresh air.
Kelly stared after her as Sarah disappeared around the corner. She listened to her footsteps trot upstairs and heard Sarah open her bedroom door. She let her sandwich drop back onto her plate. A part of her was fearful of the confrontation, but the bigger part of her needed to talk to Sarah, even if Sarah ended up throwing her out of her life.
Kelly quickly stood up, nearly knocking her chair over, and followed after Sarah. She saw Sarah’s bedroom door was cracked open and peeked inside to see Sarah open her balcony door and step outside. Kelly felt a sudden impulse to just turn around and try to avoid Sarah, but she knew that she couldn’t. No matter what Sarah said, Kelly figured it couldn’t make her feel any worse than she already did anyway.
She hesitantly pushed open the door and stepped into Sarah’s room. As she approached her balcony, she saw Sarah leaning with both hands on the rail, staring out into the horizon, a rather grim expression on her face. Kelly swallowed a lump down her throat and stepped up next to her. Sarah didn’t seem to acknowledge her presence.
Now that she was there, Kelly wasn’t sure what to say exactly. The next few seconds seemed to stretch into forever, and were the most awkward of her life. “Sarah,” She began. “About, um, last night…”
“It shouldn’t have happened,” Sarah interrupted.
Though Kelly felt the same, and she had already figured that Sarah regretted it also, Sarah’s words stung her in the heart. “I know,” Was all she could choke out.
Sarah felt the need to be alone and wished Kelly would leave, but the part of her that didn’t regret last night wouldn’t allow her to send Kelly away.
Kelly leaned her elbows on the balcony rail. A gentle breeze blew through her hair. Though she now knew where Sarah stood on the issue, and that their friendship was no doubt over, she still felt compelled to come completely clean. “You’re right that it shouldn’t have happened. But I can’t deny that…,” She hesitated. “I wanted it to.” It didn’t come out quite the way Kelly had wanted.
“So that’s why you wanted to get me drunk?”
“You were the one who got the drinks out and offered them to me.” Kelly protested.
Sarah scowled. Once again she wasn’t sure who she was mad at, or if she was even mad at all.
“I wasn’t planning on anything happening.” Kelly continued, “But when we kissed… I wanted it to be more.”
“Yeah, I kinda got that part,” Sarah said bitterly.
There was more awkward silence between them until Kelly announced, “I can have the time on my ticket changed and leave tomorrow.”
Sarah sighed and looked down. The part that wouldn’t let her send Kelly away before suddenly seemed to gain even more strength. “You don’t have to leave.”
“It’s all right. I know things would just be too awkward between us now to enjoy ourselves anyway.”
Sarah knew Kelly was partly right, things were going to be pretty awkward between them for a while, but the part that wanted her to stay continued to grow stronger as she looked into Kelly’s eyes for the first time that day, and eventually pushed all the negative thoughts to the side. What is this power she has over me? Sarah wondered. “No, really, I want you to stay.”
“You do?” Kelly was surprised.
Sarah nodded and turned her gaze back into the yard, “Yeah.” Feeling her mood switch yet again, she smiled, “Besides, you know last night you never even took your shirt off but I was stark naked. I don’t think that’s fair, do you?”
Kelly wasn’t sure what to say. She knew Sarah was prone to mood swings, but she’d never seen her go from seemingly pissed to teasing in just a couple of minutes before. “Well…Uh…”
“And you know how I hate to leave uneven scores,” Sarah teased almost seductively.
“So, so…,” Kelly stuttered. “You want to, um, to settle the score?” Kelly had thought that she was confused before, but now she was completely clueless.
Sarah laughed at the confused look on Kelly’s face and decided to quit using jokes to cover up what she was really feeling and just confess, “I mean,” She took a deep breath. “I really, really want to hate myself. For betraying Tom. For sleeping with another woman. I want to hate and regret what happened like I know I should. But no matter how hard I try, I just can’t deny the truth.” She turned to look Kelly in the eyes again. “At first I thought I was mad at you, at myself, at everything. But no matter how many mood swings I had about it, the truth kept repeating itself in the back of my head. But I kept ignoring it, until now. I can’t ignore it anymore though. I can’t ignore the fact that…,” Sarah hesitated again. “I do have feelings for you, and I’m actually kind of glad that last night happened. And, well, I have to say you were the best lover I’ve ever had.”
“Yeah, I get that a lot.” Kelly grinned.
“But still, I think that it would be best if, from now on, we kept the friendship at ‘just friends’ and nothing else.”
“Yeah,” Kelly agreed. “Me too. But…” She changed her mind about saying anything and turned her eyes away from Sarah.
“But what?” Sarah probed.
Kelly blushed slightly, “I was just thinking something.”
“What?”
Kelly chuckled. “That it’d be nice to have ‘a kiss to remember you by.'”
“Well,” Sarah smiled. “I suppose one last kiss wouldn’t hurt. But,” She held up a finger. “After this we’re ‘just friends’ okay?”
Kelly grinned again and moved in for her final kiss from Sarah. She closed her eyes as their lips gently brushed each other at first, then leaned forward again so that their lips were gently massaging each other. Kelly wrapped her arms around Sarah’s waist and felt a special connection concentrated in her heart.
Sarah’s heart thudded in her chest, and she, too, felt a connection she’d never felt before as she wrapped Kelly in her arms and continued kissing her, though she wasn’t exactly sure what it was. She massaged Kelly’s lips in a circular motion then parted her lips further to let Kelly’s tongue explore her own. Her hands trailed down Kelly’s back down to her ass and gave it a squeeze, at the same time pulling Kelly’s body tightly agaisnt her own.
They remained lip-locked a couple of minutes longer, but to Kelly it seemed like only a few seconds. She wanted the kiss to go on forever but Sarah pulled her face away, though she kept her arms gently around Kelly’s middle. The feel of Sarah’s lips still lingered on hers long after Sarah had pulled away. Licking her lips, she could taste the residue of Sarah’s cherry flavored lip gloss.
The next few seconds they spent gazing into each others eyes. Kelly knew that when she felt a special connection to someone like that, that they were meant to be together. But she also knew that Sarah wasn’t ready yet, and that it may be a long time before she was. But in the end, true love will always win.
