The weekend my life started to change began like most of the others before it. As usual the alarm clock sounded off. It always seemed to be too early, and so I slammed my hand down on the snooze button. It was barely a minute later that the door to the bathroom opened, and Christine stepped out, toweling her lovely brown hair dry.
"For heaven's sake, Lee, are you still in bed?! We need to get a move on! Get up and hit the shower while I see what you have in the way of breakfast food."
I stayed in bed a moment more while she crossed the room and opened the window shades. The sunlight streaming in highlighted the lovely figure that her bathrobe did little to hide. As she turned, she saw me watching her. A smile played across her face as she came to me and sat on the edge of the bed. Leaning down, she kissed me tenderly.
"Come on, Love, we have things to do today," she said.
"I'm not usually up so early on a Saturday, Chrissie," I mumbled back. She swatted my rump playfully.
"Lee, you said we were going to Clinton for the Little Italy Festival! Now get up, clean up, and dress up!"
As Christine stood, her hand swept across my breasts (whether intentionally or not I couldn't tell. Since we probably didn't have time for sex at the moment, I decided to consider it an accident.) Since I knew she would be really hurt if I backed out of taking her to the Festival, I kicked the covers off and stood. She gazed at my nakedness in admiration. Christine, my girlfriend of only 18 hours, is beautiful. She's about 5 ½ feet tall with shoulder-length light brown hair. She's originally from Scotland, and though she has lived here in the States for 3 years, she has managed to keep her delightful accent. She's got a curvy, full figure, but only a real jerk would call her fat. Even though they were hidden by her robe, I could see the points of her nipples through the fabric.
As for me, well no one would call me ugly, but I don't think I compare to Chrissie. I'm an inch or two taller than Christine. My hair is medium-blonde, and comes down to my ear lobes. I ran cross country in high school, and I still love to run. I have small, firm breasts (32 B), and a small tight set of buns. My boyfriend loves to squeeze my ass when we're doing it. Yeah, I guess I should take a second to mention my boyfriend...
You see, this is why my life is changing. I haven't told Chrissie that I even have a boyfriend. And, I haven't told Jess that I've been cheating on him...with another woman. I knew the whole time that this was wrong, and that someone was going to be hurt. I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that I didn't want to lose what I had with Christine.
I stood up and stretched, then headed for the shower. Afterwards, I slid into some casual clothes and some comfortable shoes – the Little Italy Festival has lots of stuff to do but not a lot of chances to sit down. By now I was beginning to get hungry at last, and the smells drifting in from my apartment's tiny kitchen were really mouth watering. I walked in to find the table set with scrambled eggs, sausage, and buttered toast. I honestly didn't know I had that much in my pantry.
"This looks good, Chrissie," I said appreciatively.
Chrissie smiled and pulled out a chair for me.
"I'm not used to such gentlemanly treatment," I said.
"Which one of us is the gentleman, anyway?" Chrissie asked playfully.
"I don't know, honey. I'm still new at this."
"Really?" she said, laughing. "Well, you could have fooled me. Being with you has been incredible."
That was the weird thing: I've never looked at other women in a sexual way – not until I met Christine. I first saw her Wal-Mart of all places. As it happened, we had both picked out some jeans to try on. I arrived at the fitting rooms at the same time as she did, and we found out that there was only one available. The clerk was really busy trying to calm down some older woman that was pitching a fit over something.
I sighed to myself. I looked over and noticed Chrissie for the first time. She smiled politely at me saying, "Do you mind if I go first? I'm in rather a hurry, because of my schedule." I was instantly captivated with her voice, and the neat way she pronounced schedule as "shedule." To my surprise, I found myself saying, "I'm in a hurry too. We're both adults, why don't we just share?"
My breath caught in my throat. What had I just said? I was even more surprised when she smiled at me and said, "Okay." She strolled right into the open fitting room as though she owned it. I followed her in, quickly closing the door behind me and locking it.
Then I noticed her intoxicating scent. She's so beautiful, I thought. She pulled her skirt off without any hesitation showing off the lacey thong she wore. The full curves of her waist and belly flowed smoothly down her abdomen to the vee between her gorgeous legs. I must have been staring at her, because she gave me the strangest look.
"I know it's cramped in here, but I'm certain you can change too. That was the idea, yes?"
"Oh, uh, yeah, I mean yes. That is the idea." I was stuttering, and fumbling with the catch on the back of my skirt.
She laughed. "Here, let me help you. Turn around, hon."
Slightly red in the face, I turned around. It was only as my skirt came undone and dropped to the floor that I remembered the fact that I wasn't wearing any panties.
"Oh my, going commando, are we Love?" she said.
"Oh jeez! I'm so sorry!" I spun around without thinking, and her eyes widened slightly as she took in the sight of my shaved pussy.
"That's quite alright, Love," she said quietly. Before I really knew what was happening, she had come closer, wrapping one arm loosely around me, looking straight into my eyes. Her other hand drifted down my flat belly and pushed easily between my legs, lightly caressing my mound. I gasped softly, and she leaned in and kissed me. It wasn't the light peck on the cheek that my friends sometimes do. It was a full-blown kiss like Jess would have given me. I was completely lost in it. Without even realizing it I had wrapped my arms around her and opened my mouth. Her tongue brushed against mine, lightly at first, and then she suddenly became very aggressive. Her hand ground against my pussy, one finger slipping between my lips and stroking my clit. Only the fact that her mouth was locked tightly on mine kept me from crying out in pleasure.
She was still holding me lightly with her other arm, giving me every chance to back away if that was what I wanted. But I didn't want to. I was shocked at how quickly I was getting wet. Already her finger was spreading my juices over my inner lips as she played with me. I was breathing hard, still urgently kissing her. Our tongues were dueling like a pair of fencers. Suddenly, the familiar feeling of approaching orgasm hit me. I knew myself well enough to know that once I get to that point nothing is going to stop me from going over the edge. That was fine, because she had no intention of stopping anyway.
I climaxed against her hand, crushing her body against me. (I guess I should mention I'm a lot stronger than Chrissie.) We stood there like that for a minute, both breathing hard, me shaking as the aftershocks of my orgasm washed over me.
After we parted, she smiled again at me. "I'm Christine, by the way. Or Chrissie, if you prefer."
Her face and voice enchanted me. "I'm LeeAnne, but feel free to call me...anytime."
The line was so old and cheesy that she instantly started giggling like a girl.

We snuck out of the fitting room as discreetly as we could, although I'm sure we weren't fooling anyone. At least no one said anything. Out in the parking lot we sat on the bench. I don't have a car, and was waiting for the bus. We talked quite a bit as the sun slowly sank. She told me all about herself and her life. She called herself a "lipstick lesbian," and she wasn't shy about it at all. She told me how her last relationship had ended when she had taken a job here in the U.S. It had hurt that her lover wasn't willing to come with her, and in some ways she still wasn't over her.
I told her a lot about myself. I'm an aspiring local singer. I make a little money at it, but to pay the bills I still have to have a day job. I work as a book keeper for a local printing company. I'm ashamed to say that I lied to her when she asked if I had anyone special, telling her that I had been seeing someone off and on, but it was nothing serious. She asked a little about him, but she backed off when she sensed how uncomfortable it made me. I was even more ashamed to be cheating on Jess. Jess is really good to me, and I know he's in love with me. Up to that point, I thought I was in love with him too. But after meeting Christine, something in me changed. Chrissie and I just clicked. Everything about her was fascinating.
Finally, Chrissie glanced at her watch. "Well Lee, I seem to have completely missed my dinner appointment, and it would appear that you've missed the tram. What do say I give you a ride?"
"You already did, Chrissie!" I said, unable to keep from laughing.
"Cheeky bugger!" she said, smacking my thigh. "How about I give you a lift home? I have an auto."
"Thanks," I said. "I'd really like that. I hope your dinner appointment wasn't important?"
