(When the doors of the Rovers are locked!)
Sarah and Maria had initially become friends through working together at Audrey's hair salon, but one evening a couple of months ago that friendship had changed to something more and they had now become secret lovers simply enjoying each others bodies.
They had both had a busy day at the salon and decided to have a drink after work at the 'Rovers Return' their local pub. They had been sitting together in the corner booth all evening during which various people had come and joined them and then gone and now the pub was closing and the two girls were once again sitting on their own.
"So, are we going back to your flat to make love?" giggled Sarah
"Sssh." said Maria. "Keep your voice down. You've obviously had too much to drink."
"I don't care." replied Sarah. "I don't care who knows."
"Well I do, so shut up about us -- what we do in private should be kept private." said Maria
"Are you ashamed of me?" asked Sarah
"Of course not." replied Maria. "I just don't think it's anyone else's business -- that's all"
"Oh -- OK, but I still want to know, are we going back to your flat to make love?"
"Yeah, that sounds really nice." smiled Maria
"What sounds nice?" said a voice behind them.
It was Liz Macdonald, the pubs landlord who had now cleared the pub of everyone except for the two girls sitting in the corner.
"Oh nothing important." said Maria.
"Well I think it is important." smirked Sarah.
"It sounds to me like you two need an impartial adjudicator on whether whatever you're talking about is important or not." said Liz and with that she sat down in the booth next to Sarah.
"Really, it's nothing." said Maria who was now panicking that her tipsy friend was going to tell all to Liz.
Liz was in her mid to late forties and although past her prime she was still an attractive looking woman with a good figure for her age. She was wearing a lightweight red cotton top, her usual trademark short black leather skirt with a full length zip down the front and a pair of stiletto heels.
"Let's let Liz decide." said Sarah
"No, let's not, it's not fair to burden other people with our problems." said Maria, anxious to shut up her friend before she let the cat out of the bag.
"Liz won't say anything to anyone, will you Liz?" asked Sarah
"Not if you don't want me to." she replied not having a clue what this was about.
"Sarah, please, this is just between you and me." said a panicking Maria.
"Oh, stop worrying." said Sarah. "Look Liz, Maria and I love having sex, and I think that's important -- don't you?"
"Well," replied Liz, "I must admit to being partial to enjoying myself in that way, and if you've both got partners you like, then I don't see what the problem is."
"Great." said Maria, realising Liz had not understood and she was anxious to leave before Sarah clarified matters, but she couldn't get out as she was trapped in the booth by both Sarah and Liz.
"No, you don't understand." giggled Sarah. "We love having sex with each other. You know? All girls together."
Maria wanted the floor to open up and swallow her, but all she could do was to put her head in her hands and say nothing.
