Amber Kalirai sat in the bus shelter at the end of Coronation Street. She was wondering what was happening to her life. From a law student at university in London, to working in her dads corner shop in Wetherfield, all in a few short weeks. If only she had paid more attention to her studies and less time to partying , things could have been oh so different.
"Hi Amber," It was Tina McIntyre on her way to her shift at the Rovers Return.
Amber replied, "Sorry Tina I was miles away, just off to work?"
"Yes, see you." with that Tina crossed the street. Amber watched as Tina's perfect rear end disappeared into the pub.
She re-called the winters afternoon she had spent with Tina, exploring each others bodies in their first experience of lesbian love. She had been a first year student. One of her female tutors had made several passes at her and she did not know what to do. That afternoon with Tina convinced her that having sex with another woman, was very satisfying.
Her affair with the tutor lasted a few months and since then she had not had a serious relationship, just a few one night stands, with both men and girls.
The bus arrived. Amber was not getting on, she was merely idling away her time, until the mundane life of a corner shop assistant again kicked in.
She watched as the passengers exited the bus and was pleased to see Sophie Webster and her lesbian girl friend Sian Powers "Hi guys, been shopping?"
Sophie said "these may have been a giveaway," holding up several large bags.
"Buy anything nice?"
Sian answered, "we have treated ourselves to some really sexy underwear, for our eyes only." she said teasingly.
"Spoil sports, its alright for you, you've got each other, me? I have a dildo that's practically worn away."
"Amber," said Sophie loudly, "not in the street where everybody can hear."
"I don't care, I haven't been fucked for ages."
Sian and Sophie looked at each other and giggled, then said in unison, "well neither have we."
"You know what I mean, I am so fucking frustrated." Amber almost screamed.
Then she said, "How about if I get a bottle of Vodka from my dad's shop and we have a bit of a girly party in the flat? "
Sian looked at Sophie and asked "well?"
