"All men are bastards." Said Andrea Tate, reaching for another bottle of Prosecco.
She was in the office at Take A Vow, the wedding planning business she ran with her drinking companion of the day, Leyla Harding, in the village of Emmerdale.
Leyla, slurred her reply, "couldn't agree more, bastards the lot of em."
Both women had experienced rejection by men recently. Leyla's infatuation with the local doctor, Liam Kavanagh had not progressed beyond a kiss, and Andrea's marriage to Jamie Tate was over after revelations of a past one night stand with Graham Foster came to light.
On top of that, two very lucrative and profitable weddings had been cancelled, when the groom called them off.
"Men, bastards." Repeated Leyla as she poured another glass of the sparkling wine.
Andrea said, "how about we stick to women in future?"
"Suits me, anyone in mind?"
Andrea laughed and said, "you'll do, until someone I fancy comes along."
To which Leyla replied, "cheeky mare, you wouldn't be able to handle me."
Andrea put down her glass and looked the stunning girl opposite her in the eye. "I've had my moments, and she would confirm my abilities."
Intrigued, Leyla asked, "who? Anyone I know?"
Taking a long drink of the wine, Andrea calmly said, "Dear mama in law, Mrs Kim Tate."
An astonished Leyla said, "you have to be kidding me, you and Kim Tate? No way, no sorry don't believe you."
Again Andrea looked her in the eyes. "I know it's hard to believe, but it happened and it was fantastic, she made me come more than any man, and with more intensity. As much as I hate her, she is one sexy lady."
Leyla said, "Wow, I would never have thought it, when did this happen?"
"Jamie was away, on a course, and I missed him so much. We had a great sex life, we fucked most nights and I loved to suck him, and him go down on me." Then continued, "a bit like now, too much wine, a log fire, and before I knew it Kim was sucking on my tits and had her hand down my pants,"
Leyla asked, "so how long did it go on?"
"About a month, then she got bored and we moved on. She never mentioned it again, it was as if we had never been friends, never mind had amazing sex."
Andrea filled Leyla's empty glass and with a quizzical look asked, "what about you, any sapphic adventures in your past?
Leyla, took a sip of the drink and began, "well seeing as you ask. My first venture was partly, no entirely due to Take a Vow."
Andrea was looking directly into Leyla's eyes and could sense a fantastic story was about to unfold.
Continuing, Leyla said, "Megan had picked up this fantastic wedding deal. A millionaires daughter, no expense spared, and more or less name your own fee." After another sip, she continued, "It turned out the happy couple were gay, and they wanted our advise and input on their wedding gowns."
Leyla hesitated, then continued,"Well, it seemed they were a bit of an adventurous and open couple and wanted a bit more than advise."
"God, they wanted you and Megan?" Exclaimed Andrea.
"Yes, the whole package, wedding, reception and a wild lesbian foursome in a hotel in Leeds."
Andrea said, "that's so out there, it's crazy."
"I know, but it's true, my first lesbian experience was with two strangers and my boss, weird eh?"
