On Aisle 7, Anna stared intently at the kitchen cleaning options. One spray would foam up to cut through grease and stains. The other had a bleach component. Both were lemon scented.
"Hi, Anna."
She half jumped out of her skin. "Oh! Shelly... Girl, I wasn't expecting to see you." Ever again in my life, Anna thought.
"Yeah. A long time. How have you been?" Shelly's eyes smiled but her lips did not. The same strange expression even after these last few years. Just five or so, Anna thought, maybe not that long but still another lifetime.
"Oh, I've been good," Anna smiled. So much had changed. Shelly would be surprised to know...
"Shopping for a man?" She gazed down at the full cart.
Oh fuck her anyways. "Yes. As a matter of fact, Shelly, I'm in a relationship with a man. Yes. You got it." Anna dropped her smile and kept her indignant pose even after Shelly's mocking eyes shot to the cleaning bottles Anna propped on her hips.
"Does he know what a dyke you are?"
Now, Anna and Shelly had been very close in college. They had been roommates every year and eaten each other's pussy every night. Shelly had long blonde hair, green eyes, soft pink lips, had been desired by every guy on campus but she had fallen in love with her geeky roommate instead.
Looking at her now, Shelly suspected it was Anna's impenetrable innocence. The girl had an instinct for pleasure and her lips had sucked and probed every intimate part of Shelly and yet...
Shelly grunted and came closer. "Wouldn't you prefer lavender to lemon?"
Shelly had always been so aggressive, thought Anna. When she had come to college, she was miles away from home and was soon miles away from her way of life. Lesbians, gays -- none of that had been on her radar.
Her first night, after her parents and brothers had said good bye and driven back south, Anna had felt very lonely. Sherry had gone out to a party and the hall was deserted so she had taken a shower and slipped into her new, stiff bed and cried herself to sleep.
She woke up, hearing someone in the dark. It was Shelly, a little drunk and not caring if her roommate was asleep. Anna remembered turning on the lamp by her bed and smiling to say hello. The light revealed Shelly's naked body and Anna had quickly glanced away. She could still hear the girl's laughter.
She was so amused by Anna's reaction that she had trouble catching her breath. But then it had suddenly stopped and Shelly roughly pulled back the covers that Anna was partially hidden under. Shelly climbed on the bed on her hands and knees and crawled right up to Anna, pushing her head under her chin and sucking her neck. Anna's pulse was hard in Shelly's mouth but she didn't resist.
Sometimes Shelly wondered if it could be said she raped Anna that night. Anna exuded submission back then, always so friendly and smiling. A part of Shelly hated her the moment she saw the curvy black girl that was going to be her roommate. At 18 her breasts had been so full with a little hang. Her hips had been slim and her ass was round. Nothing about her body had been overwhelming, just soft and dark. She was the velvet petal of an African violet. Shelly also resented the sentimentalism that Anna always evoked in her.
Staring into her black eyes now, Shelly felt the same pang of love. She had a deep desire to split Anna's legs right there in the grocery store and suck her sweet pussy until she felt it too. And that thought just burned Shelly more.
"So who's the guy."
