This story is dedicated to a fan "Blonde Katie" who inspired it.

Katie Sugden had had a busy day. A new horse had been delivered to the livery stable she ran from Home Farm in Emmerdale, and he needed bedding in. Four one hour riding lessons had been given, then she had to "muck out" the stables.
She stood under the shower, trying to get the smell of horse dung off her skin and thought that a nice cold glass of wine in The Woolpack would hit the spot.
However, the thought of all the paperwork, piling up at Home Farm was overpowering, so she dressed and set out to burn some midnight oil.
She was just into sorting out some invoices, when the office door opened. It was Mia Macey, daughter Declan, owner of the Home Farm estate.
Katie and Mia had been friends until Katie had a brief fling with her dad. Things were gradually getting back to normal for the two girls.
"Hi Katie, I didn't expect you here at this time." said Mia, a petite, pretty girl of 20.
"To much paperwork and not enough hours in the day" replied Katie.
"Can I help?"
"There are some things on the cabinet that need filing, that would be a big help," said Katie thankfully.
After a quarter of an hour, Katie said "sod it, I've had enough, fancy a drink in the "Woolly."
"Why spend money, when there is the whole of my dad's wine cellar right here."
They chose a bottle of rather expensive white and retired to the lounge.
Sitting on one of the big sofa's, Katie asked, "Declan still away?"
Mia replied, "yes, for another week, so I am all alone in this big house."
They made small talk until Mia asked, "do you know why Adam dumped me? I miss him so much."
"Sorry no idea, you seemed perfect for each other." replied Katie, sympathetically.
"We were, I loved him so much," then casting her eyes down, to avoid Katie's she said, "and the sex was incredible, he made me feel special, then he dumped me, men."
"I know, been there, done it and bought several tee shirts." said Katie.
"Who was your first, you know took your virginity?" asked Mia
Katie smiled at the recollection. "Andy, on a rainy Sunday in his dads hay loft. I was fifteen and thought my first love would last forever. How wrong can you be. Then looking at Mia, asked, "you?"
"I was a late starter, I was seventeen, he was mum's lawyer in Singapore. Very bright, very rich, very good looking and very married." Mia sighed and carried on "he was thirty-five, I was just a girl, he promised me the earth, then after one quick fuck, dropped me like a hot potato,"
"Men eh, who needs them?" said Katie.
"I do" replied Mia with a smile.
Mia took a drink of her wine and then said. "The problem is in such a small village, there is a shortage of eligible men. They are all spoken for, except Aaron and he's gay.
Katie thought the next sentence through, before delivering it, not knowing how it would be taken.
Then she said it, "you could always try the girls."
Mia pulled a face, "no way, not ever, sorry but no." she said adamantly.
Katie took a sip of her wine and said, "don't knock it until you've tried it."
Mia's mouth fell open as she said, "Katie Sugden, are you saying you've had sex with a woman, I don't believe it."
For some reason Katie blushed as Mia pressed on.
"Who was it? come on tell me."
Taking a good slug of wine, Katie said, "The first was."
Mia interrupted her, "the first, so you have done it more than once?"
Katie continued, " the first was Masie Wylde, her dad owned this house before yours."
"Was she a lesbian?" inquired Mia.
"No and neither am I, we just sort of fell into it. We were riding near the lake at the far end of the estate, it was a hot day, we went skinny dipping and finished up making love on the cool grass."
"Did it last" asked Mia.
"No, it was just the one spontaneous time. We laughed about it afterwards, neither of us regretted it."
"Sorry, but whatever you say, I could never bring myself to go with another woman, no matter how desperate I was."
Mia continued, "so who was the other?"
Katie said, "sorry I promised I would not tell, she lives in the village and I keep my word."
Then Katie leaned over and pressed her lips to Mia's. It was not a sexy kiss, lips did not move, tongues were left in the mouth, just lips on lips. It lasted for about ten seconds.
"Mia reacted angrily," what the fuck do you think you are doing? I told you I am not gay, I don't want to kiss you or have sex with you, if that's what you are after."
"Sorry, all the talk of our first times, the wine, being near a beautiful girl, I just had an uncontrollable urge to kiss you." whispered Katie.
Mia replied, "that's alright, it was just unexpected, perhaps if you had asked, I might have reacted differently. I am a bit curious now."
Katie saw her chance, "so may I kiss you Miss Macey?"
Mia giggled, the wine had got to her, "OK then, but just a kiss, no funny business."
Katie took the other girls head in her hands and gently placed her lips on Mia's. This time her mouth opened slightly and Mia responded by moving her lips against Katie's.
The kiss lasted about a minute. As they broke Katie asked, "Well?"
Mia fell back onto the sofa and replied, "Nice, softer than a bloke, no bristles, but OK."
Katie reached out to her. "Want to try again?"
Mia laughed and said, "Don't push your luck Sugden," and poured more wine.
Just then the Grandfather clock in the hall struck eleven.
"Jesus is that the time, I have to be back here at six." with that she finished her wine grabbed her coat and moved to the door.
"Thanks for a lovely evening, we must do it again some time." said Katie
Mia reached for her and gave her a great big hug. Holding her tightly she kissed her on the cheek saying.
