I was on another planet. Or in heaven.
Thien, who I couldn't remember a week or so back, had taken me on such an adventure. From awkward virgin, to petting each other (and ourselves) to my first blowjob, with a touch of anal, which happened to be in a nearby park. Even when I told myself what had happened, and relived every second (several times), I still didn't believe it. Thien's name meant "angel" in Vietnamese, and in my weirder moments I wondered if she was in fact an angel visiting me.
So imagine my surprise when she appeared over our fence. I was helping mum put the washing on the line.
"Hello Mrs Watson, I'm Thien, from next door. Do you remember me?" I nearly collapsed.
"Why Thien! How nice to see you! And haven't you grown up!" (Oh yes mum, you have no idea.) "You're at uni now aren't you, and doing well I hear from your parents." (You know the parents?? I really am going to faint now.) "You remember Nick don't you? Only a bit younger than you I think." (Mum, I'm not here. I've disappeared into a hole in the ground.)
"Err, hi, um, Thien." Angel? Angel?? A demon, more likely. I could tell she was loving my torture.
"It's a bit quiet at home here. I was wondering - if Nick's finished all his chores - if he might like to go out for a coffee?" She gave us a wonderful smile. Oh Thien, I'm going to pay you back for this. Somehow.
The cafe was pretending to be urban grunge, with odd chairs and tables and ragged posters carefully stuck on the walls. Not busy. Luckily they forgot the inner-city arrogant waiters. The coffee and cake actually was pretty good. Thien smiled calmly across the table at me, completely in control.
"Your face when I looked over the fence. I won't forget that look for a long, long time!" She laughed her musical laugh.
"You are in big trouble! I don't know what, but I'll think of something. How could you? In front of my mother! Brazen!"
"Just being a good neighbour. Besides, I needed to know if she knew what... was happening. We can't hide this for long you know, but I think it's still a secret."
"I think it must be obvious something's happened to me. Everything feels mad and wonderful. And I keep seeing you, in my house, your hair, your walk..."
"Same for me. I lie on my bed and I can feel your hands on my chest or my thighs."
"Careful, Thien! Don't start!"
"But I promised you the story, of Talaya." I thought she'd brushed my leg by accident, but her bare foot up between my thighs, just as she spoke, was not by chance. I wasn't holding my cup, so I didn't drop it. My fingers dug into the table top.
In a public cafe, she was stroking my balls with her foot. It felt fantastic. And scary, which made it more fantastic. I tried to look normal.
"It was a Women's Night at the Union. Guest speakers, pamphlets, uni politicians. Free entertainment, free condoms. No guys that night. And discount drinks. One of the speakers was a crazy lady with bright clothes, not black like all the others. She talked about the joy of self-sex, I think she called it. It was an act to "reclaim our bodies". I remember she had a slide show of many many women, mostly naked, with one hand down between their legs. Enjoying themselves. Then she put her own hand down over herself - outside her pants thankfully.
"Well, you know about me and sex, about not touching, just - nothing. But the pictures, so many women, all touching, all happy; I felt something inside. Then she started on herself! She shouted, "Come on girls!" Or something. I couldn't look. I looked away; that's when I caught someone's eye. We both were, well, embarrassed. We both got the giggles.
"Later in the night they played videos. "Xena, Warrior Princess" and something else old, a police lady with big hair. I was at the bar between episodes and there was the girl I'd seen before. We had another laugh together, we got talking. Turns out, she was just like me in many ways. No sex. No thought of it. No brothers with cocks to see. She was Middle-eastern I think, so maybe, it wasn't discussed.
"We watch Xena and cheer the bad acting. We talk and talk and talk. About family, courses, life, clothes. Our bodies. We have another drink, then another. I don't know when, but we made a pact, to explore our bodies, and tell the other one what we found. Yeah, pretty mad, but it made sense at the time."
"Suddenly it's really late. No more buses home for me. Talaya shared a house not so far away, so we caught a taxi to her place. All I remember of the trip is her teaching me "I am Woman" while we waited outside for the cab. I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore!
"At her house we stumbled around and she took the cushions off the couch. She put them in her room and put the heater on. I sat on the cushions. She was sitting on the bed. We stared at each other. "This is it, isn't it," she said. We knew it was. The exploring.
"She put on this Middle-eastern music and started to dance. The music had long flowing lines, and that's how she moved. She swirled and spun, even shook her hips like a belly dancer. she wore a longish skirt , she could make it swing one way then the other with the music. She stretched her arms up, then slid them down her front and sides . She had long hair like me, and she rolled her head round to make it swing, like willow branches. When she turned off the main light her bed light put shadows and lights across her arms. It was the most beautiful, sensuous thing I've seen in my life.
"And the music! Haunting, longing music from far away countries. I found out later what was playing. It's called an oud, a bit like a guitar. The music and the dance was just right together."
Thien paused. Her foot tucked under my balls paused. She had a faraway look as she remembered. I had heard an oud played before, so I had an idea of what she was saying.
"She dance and dance. For how long, I don't know. Then in the middle of it she just moved her hands up in the dance and took off her top, over her head. She came down and undid her bra. I saw my first boobs for real, big and round, rolling free. Big dark nipples. She wore a gold chain that lay across her collarbone and it glinted as she turned. Her skin and her eyes, her graceful hands, they were magic. She danced like a goddess from ancient times. Her shoulders rocked, her boobs swung when she danced. Not like mine."
"Yours are wonderful," I interrupted. She blushed slightly. She's a bit self-conscious about them, I realized.
