I was having coffee one Saturday morning at my favorite coffee shop. I live near San Francisco and it was a beautiful spring morning. I had already been for a long mountain bike ride, and was having coffee before I went home to study. It was so nice out I didn't really want to spend the afternoon inside with my nose in a book.
The coffee shop was busy, and I was sitting by myself, reading the newspaper and drinking my coffee. I heard a soft voice ask, "Excuse me, could I share your table?"
I looked up to see a very pretty blonde face that looked sort of familiar. I smiled and said, "Of course, feel free..."
As I returned to my paper, I couldn't help but think that I should know that face. Was it someone I had gone to high school with? Then it hit me... I was sitting across the table from pop diva Mariah Carey!
I looked over and saw that she was reading a newspaper. I studied her face for a few moments then I was absolutely sure. She had put on a few pounds since she was the hottest thing in pop music, but she was still gorgeous. She was wearing a loose flannel shirt and baggy jeans, but she couldn't hide that sweet face.
"Excuse me," I asked quietly, "But are you Mariah Carey?"
She smiled and said, "Yes, I am, and thanks for recognizing me... Lately it seems like that isn't happening as much as it should!"
"I love your music, and I thought you did a great job with the National Anthem on the Super Bowl."
"Oh, thank you. I was really nervous but I thought it went pretty well."
"You know, I would think that being a little more anonymous could be okay. I mean, could you have gone out by yourself like this five years ago?"
"Yeah, you have a point. I would never have been able to do this without bodyguards and agents and everything before."
"By the way, my name's Jessica Stevens, Jessi to my friends."
Mariah extended her hand, "Nice to meet you, Jessi."
"So, Mariah, what brings you to the Bay Area?"
"I'm here recording a new CD. We've been at it nine days straight so we decided to take today off. I hate the recording, it is really hard work."
"So what are your plans? A little sight-seeing?"
"I'm not sure, really, I've never spent much time here. What's worth seeing, Jessi?"
"Well, there's lots of stuff, what interests you?"
"I think I would like to get out of the city. I like how busy it is, but it gets kind of depressing some times."
"I have a great idea, then. I'll take you to see Muir Woods. It's a beautiful park, over by the coast, you would never believe you are like 15 miles from San Francisco."
"That sounds great, Jessi, but I don't want to put you to any trouble..."
"It's no trouble at all. I mean, my alternative is spending this beautiful afternoon inside, studying a boring Finance book. Yuck!"
Mariah laughed. Her voice had that clear pure tone that came through when she sang. "I can TOTALLY relate to that. I get stuck inside way too much, too!"
"So do you have anything to do first, or shall we head to Muir Woods?" I asked.
"Nope, nothing, I'm ready if you are!" was Mariah's response. "But tell me something, Jessi. You aren't a psycho axe murderer or anything, are you?"
"If I was, would I tell you?" I laughed, "But no, I'm not any of those things."
Now I have to say I was blown away by this happening. Ten minutes earlier, I had never met Mariah Carey and only knew of her what I had read, as a STAR, a gorgeous girl with the STAR attitude. Talking to her, she seemed very down-to-earth and real. And here we were, headed off alone together only minutes after meeting.
We stood up, and I was surprised that she was shorter than me. I mean, at 5'5" I am shorter than most people, and she projects a larger image. We walked outside, and I asked, "Shall we take your car or mine?"
"We can take mine if you want..."
"No, let me drive. We can leave your car at my place, it's only a few blocks from here. I walked over."
"Okay, let's do that." We got into Mariah's car and she drove to my apartment.
I hopped out then asked, "You want to come in or wait out here? I want to change clothes before we go, put on some shorts."
Mariah smiled and said, "Shorts sound great, but I don't have any with me."
"You want to borrow some of mine? I think they would fit you..."
"Sure, that sounds great!" and we walked into my apartment.
I knew I was thinner than Mariah, but I also have some looser shorts that I wear when I work out. I found shorts and tank tops for both of us, and pointed at the bathroom. "You can change in there."
She disappeared into the bathroom, and I changed in the bedroom. She came back out in a minute, and looked very yummy in the tank top and shorts. Her nipples were hard and visible through the top and her bra. I put on a baseball cap and gave her one. She looked extremely cute, plus she looked so totally unlike her public image that I felt sure that no one would recognize her.
I said, "We should bring a picnic lunch, it's gorgeous out there and I know we'll be able to find a nice spot."
"That sounds great! I love picnics."
We headed out, and I stopped at a local deli where we got some cheese, crackers, some fruit and salad and a bottle of wine. Mariah insisted on paying for the lunch, so I let her.
I guess I should introduce myself. Like I said above, my name is Jessica. I am 26, I am 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.
So here I am, riding in my car with Mariah Carey... Nervous, excited, but still fairly relaxed. I had read that she had calmed down quite a bit, that she had been pretty wild when she was younger. Haven't we all...
Anyway, it was about an hour's drive, so she and I just talked. I asked her about Derek Jeter, she said they had only ever been friends, REALLY. That they were both good looking, high profile young stars in New York, and related to each other because of that.
"You mean to tell me that you never wanted a piece of him? I mean, he is YUMMY, girl!" I teased her.
"Maybe so, but we're just friends. We actually talked about it, and decided that our friendship is too important to risk it for sex."
"That's cool... So many times, you hear about famous people jumping in the sack together because everyone assumes that they already are."
"That's not my style," said Mariah, "And besides that, the stories are true. He has a tiny little dick." She giggled.
"And how do you know THAT, girl?"
"We kissed and fooled around a little, we just never went all the way."
"Ahhhh, I get it. Is he a good kisser?"
"He's okay, for a guy, I guess..."
Mariah's answer stunned me. "Ummm, 'for a guy'? Does that mean you have kissed girls before, Mariah?"
"Oh, yeah... The first one since I was about 12 was Whitney Houston. The stories about HER are true, she is very much into women. She still likes the occasional guy, but for her it's almost entirely women. And she is a GREAT kisser!"
"Wow, I can believe that... She has a very sexy mouth."
