Parker Posey was making her way home through the crowded streets of Greenwich Village. It was a wonderful spring day and half the city seemed to be out enjoying the sunshine. It was one of the first really warm days of the year. This was truly New York at its best, vibrant life on the street and the air feeling fresh after an intense but short downpour earlier in the morning. Parker didn't walk as much as she strolled through the crowded city.
Parker was only a block away from her apartment when she saw that one of her favourite cafés had outdoor serving for the first time of the year. Parker couldn't resist the temptation to sit down and order a small coffee. The day had been spent doing some gift shopping together with an old friend, but right now Parker was alone. She sat at her table and sipped her coffee as she observed the people walking by. It seemed like almost everyone had a smile on their lips on this day.
The general feeling of spring and happiness in the air had an effect on Parker as well. More than anything it expressed itself as an all consuming and intense horniness. There was another reason for this horniness as well and it was a disturbing lack of sex the last few weeks. Parker had lost her regular lover Jena Malone to a relationship. This was not something Parker was angry or even the least bit resentful about. Quite the opposite in fact, she was very happy that her young friend was in a meaningful relationship.
The fact that they were no longer having sex had done nothing to affect the close friendship between Parker and Jena. They talked very often these days. Jena's relationship with Scarlett Johansson seemed to make great progress and Parker got to hear all the details. She had never seen Jena this enthusiastic about any girl. The two lovers were on their tenth date or something like that and apparently every single one of those dates had ended with hot and steamy sex. Scarlett had apparently been a very quick learner and she now provided Jena with a regular stream of intense orgasms.
Parker had actually had one sexual encounter since that last time with Jena. It had been that very same night and it had been with Piper Perabo. They had left Scarlett's apartment together in Parker's car in order to give Scarlett and Jena privacy. The sexual tension had been high from the beginning. Seeing their friends form a couple just like that had been very romantic and they had both been in the mood for some fun. Parker had invited Piper into her apartment and that of course quickly led to an evening of passionate lovemaking.
It wasn't the first time it happened, Parker and Piper, both living in New York, had met several times through the years and it had often resulted in sex. They knew and liked each other but weren't close friends. They also had great sexual chemistry and could always count on wonderful sex when they met. Parker would have loved to make Piper a regular lover, but unfortunately the cute brunette had been away filming for the last few weeks.
No matter how happy Parker was for Jena, she still missed their regular sessions of satisfying sex. Even so Parker completely respected her decision to be faithful to Scarlett. What the two young women had together was something very special. Parker had seen it in the way Jena worried that she had lost Scarlett. It became even more obvious when Parker saw them together. They looked incredibly cute together and it was obvious that they had a very promising relationship.
With Jena in a relationship and Piper gone, it was obvious to Parker that she had to look elsewhere for some satisfaction. Luckily for Parker she lived in one of the best places on earth when it came to finding a female lover. She couldn't think of a better place to find a lover than in the West Village on a day like this. That was exactly what she intended to do before the day was over.
Parker was wearing shades so she could freely observe without being noticed. She let her gaze wander. There were plenty of beautiful women to watch, but Parker got stuck on one in particular. She was sitting by herself on a bench in the park across the street. She was reading a book and seemed completely oblivious to her surroundings. Parker couldn't tear her eyes off of this woman, for she was truly stunning. She had dark curly hair, brown eyes, a cute little nose and a small amused smile on her lips.
Not only was she gorgeous, she also seemed familiar. Celebrities were common in the Village so it wasn't at all surprising. The young woman wasn't one of the biggest stars, but Parker could swear that she had been on TV. Suddenly it hit Parker where she had seen the woman before. She had been on a somewhat obscure but very interesting science fiction series called Firefly. Parker still could not recall the name of the woman, but at least now she knew it was another actress. That fact provided an opening to start a conversation. Parker emptied her cup of coffee and made her way across the street. She approached the woman who was still engrossed in her book.
"Must be a good book." Parker said.
The beautiful woman was a bit startled at first, but then a truly breathtaking smile spread across her face when she saw Parker.
"You're Parker Posey" she said.
"Yes I am."
The woman stretched out her arm.
"I'm Morena Baccarin. I'm an actress too."
They shook hands and then Parker spoke.
"I know I saw you in Firefly. Very good show. An awful shame that it was cancelled so soon."
"Thank you. Please join me." Morena said and patted the bench.
Parker sat down on the bench next to Morena.
"I have to say. I really, really like you. You always do the most interesting parts." Morena said with admiration in her voice.
"Thanks, that's so sweet of you. Any special part you're thinking of?"
"I remember this one movie were you played this crazy woman who was in love with her brother. You really nailed that part."
"House of Yes, yeah that one was fun to do. You know I really like you too. I saw Firefly and I couldn't believe how good it was. Amazing, that idea to mix Sci-fi and western."
"That means a lot coming from you. I wouldn't have pegged you for someone watching a show like that." Morena answered, obviously surprised.
"I have a young friend who was really into it. She lent me the DVD. I didn't want to see it at first to be honest, but she kept nagging and I really don't regret doing so. I've never seen such good Sci-fi."
Parker was of course referring to Jena who was a big fan of the show and even did some occasional quoting.
"That's so wonderful to hear from you." Morena said and gave Parker a warm smile.
"And you, you were so amazing. Such grace, such beauty. You were quite a treat." Parker complimented.
"Thanks. That's so sweet of you." Morena answered, almost embarrassed by all the compliments.
Things were progressing much better than Parker ever could have expected. Morena seemed very friendly and easy-going. Parker had her mind set on finding a lover for the evening and Morena seemed like a very good choice. That required an act of seduction of course, but that was something Parker was well versed at.
"I still don't know what book you are reading." Parker remarked.
"Uh, nothing special." Morena said and put the book in her bag.
"I didn't mean to intrude; I just wondered what book could be so captivating."
Morena thought about the book in her bag. It wasn't anything she was ashamed about, but it wasn't really something you showed stranger either. Somehow Parker didn't feel that much like a stranger though. She seemed very friendly and Morena didn't think Parker would mind the kind of book.
"I guess, I can show you. I mean I know who you are." Morena said with a shy smile on her lips.
"That you do." Parker confirmed.
"Ok, you're not one of those, you know, intolerant people, now are you?" Morena asked.
"I am an actress living in Greenwich Village. I am definitely very tolerant." Parker confirmed.
She really liked where this was going. She couldn't wait to see what Morena was reading. The book came out of the bag and Parker could read the title. "Tipping the Velvet" by Sarah Waters. Parker couldn't believe her luck. This wonderful woman was reading a book with a very distinctly lesbian theme. This held a lot of promise.
"I've read it too." Parker casually remarked.
"You have?" Morena asked wide eyed.
