I know, I know... It's a clichΓ© that women bowlers look like truck drivers. I've been a fan for a long time, and nowadays there are some girls out there that actually look like girls. Of course, many of the women are blatantly lesbian, but some of them are not.
There are several of the players that I think are particularly hot. One that really does it for me is Carol Gianotti. She is Australian, a tall blonde girl, very cute yet obviously very powerful. She was married for several years, but she recently got divorced.
One week, the Women's Tour was near where I live, so I took off work to go and watch the practice session before the tournament started. I found which lanes Carol was on, and parked myself in the front row of the bleachers behind them. At one point she sat on the bench to work on the holes in her ball, and our eyes met. I smiled at her, and she smiled back.
Carol threw a few more shots, all strikes. Then she walked in front of me, stuck out her hand and introduced herself, "Hi there, I'm Carol Gianotti."
I shook her hand, smiled and said, "I know who you are. My name's Jessica Stevens, Jessi to my friends."
"Nice to meet you, Jessi. Do you bowl?" Carol's accent is SOOOO cute, 'nice' comes out 'noyce'.
"Yes, but I'm only about a 180 average. I never had the time to practice enough to make myself anywhere as good as you girls out here."
"Hey, 180 is nothing to be ashamed of. Especially if you are only bowling once a week."
"Well, thanks, but I know I could compete with you guys if I had the time, money and inclination to practice. It's just that life gets in the way, you know? I work full time plus go to grad school, so I am lucky to be able to bowl once a week as it is!"
"Hey, when you get through grad school you will have accomplished something that very few people have done. I know I would be proud of you for that!"
"Thanks, Carol, I appreciate that."
Before I could ask her anything else, the loudspeaker announced that there were 5 minutes left in the practice session. I asked Carol if she was going to practice more, and she shook her head.
"Nah, I'm as lined up as I am going to get. I feel like ('loyk') I have a really good shot this week."
"That's cool, I hope you do well."
"Thanks, me too. When you bowl for a living, you don't get a check unless you bowl well. And that can add more pressure if you have a couple bad weeks in a row. I just try to not let it get to me like some of the younger players do. Plus, I am on staff with a bowling ball company so I do get a little check from them every week, regardless of how I do in the tournament. Makes things a little easier, you know?"
"Yeah, I get it. So what happens now, Carol?"
"Well, they're going to dress the lanes and then other half of the field gets their practice session. For me, I'm done until tomorrow morning. I'm gonna get something to eat, do you know a good place around here?"
"Yeah, what are you in the mood for?"
"I don't know, Chinese or Thai maybe?"
Luckily, I knew of a good Thai restaurant fairly close to the bowling center. I told her about it, then was surprised when she asked, "Join me? I hate to eat by myself."
"Sure, that sounds great. I was just going to go home and study, anyway."
"Cool, let me throw my stuff in the paddock and we can go."
I guess this would be a good time to introduce myself. Like I said above, my name is Jessica. I am 26, I work as an accountant for a wholesale distributor and I am going to grad school for my MBA in Finance. I have been single for about a year, since I found out my last boy friend was cheating on me. My recent experience with guys has not been too good, so I have been exploring my bisexual feelings. I consider myself bi, but since I broke up with Rob I have been with several girls and no guys, so I guess you would have to say I was leaning way toward becoming a lesbian.
I am 5'5" and slender, maybe 115 pounds depending on how well I have been eating and how much I have been riding my mountain bike lately. I have curly brown hair that reaches just past my shoulders and brown eyes. I would say that my tight ass is my sexiest feature, although I know I have a sexy body.
Carol came back out with her jacket on and said, "Lead on!" She is in her early 30's, is taller than me, probably 5'9" and solidly built without being fat or butch looking. Carol has shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes. She wears wire rim glasses that I think frame her face well. Like I said before, I have always thought she was cute.
"Do you have wheels?" I asked.
"Yeah, shall we take mine or yours?"
"Either one, you pick. The restaurant is close by."
"Okay, Jessi, I'll drive." We walked outside and she led us to a Honda parked by a large motor home.
"Is this yours, Carol? What a nice way to travel!"
"Yeah, I actually share it with Cara (Honeychurch, a young pro from Australia). It's a lot cheaper and easier than a hotel, plus we can cook if we want. That's the one thing that's a drag about travelling like we do, is eating in restaurants all the time. It gets old..."
"I understand, I bet it would be nice to get a home cooked meal once in a while."
"Yeah, it really is. Over the years, I have made friends in a lot of the cities we travel to, and it's always nice when they invite me over for dinner at their house. Plus it's nice to get away from the bowling center, the atmosphere gets old, too."
