I grew up 30 miles from London and in my early teens I use to spend a lot of time in my school holidays exploring London. My dad worked there so I would catch a lift with him in the morning, go around London on the buses all day, then return with him in the evening.
I had recently turned 18 and not had a steady girlfriend yet. I was curious, even obsessed, about women and quite liked the thought of a woman a bit older and experienced showing me what it was all about.
I was on one of my trips to London during a cold Autumn half-term school holiday and on the top deck of a bus journey from Marylebone Road to Holloway Road. A lady got on, came up the stairs and asked to sit next to me. The bus was about half full, so I politely said yes, even though there were other seats.
I guess she was around thirty years old, slim, had medium length brown curly hair, a long coat and a shopping bag. I just presumed she was on her way home from doing a bit of shopping. She gave me a lovely smile when she sat down and was very friendly. She struck up a conversation straight away, asking if I was visiting London. So, I told her I was just exploring by bus. She asked me where I came from, what kind of family and school I had and what I was interested in. Of course, I could not just tell her I was really interested in women, especially more experienced ones. But I did think she was lovely, and I had never had someone like her show such an interest in me. In the breaks in conversation, I imagined what it would be like if she took me home with her! *
So, I plucked up the courage and when there was a gap I said, "Actually, as I'm only eighteen, I have recently become very interested in the opposite sex and I wondered whether, as you're so friendly, you could answer some questions for me?"
She looked at me a little surprised, but not shocked, which gave me hope. To cover my embarrassment, I said, "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
She said, "No it's fine, if that's what you're thinking I feel flattered that you would ask me. Is it just one or two questions or do you have a list?"
I said, "Well, lots of things really."
Then she said, "I have to get off in a minute, but if you want you can come back to my house for some lunch and ask all the questions you like."
I could not believe my luck! When it was her stop, she got up, so I got up and followed her off the bus thinking this was unexpected!
As we walked, she told me a bit about herself. She was quite newly married, and her husband worked in the city. She did not work but enjoyed going into London to shop a couple of times per week. The rest of the time she was at home in their 3 bed semi doing housework or cooking or reading. She might find a job soon but was happy to be at home, maybe until she has children. As she nattered, I started to wonder if these were the answers to the questions that she thought I might have about women and had not quite understood what I was interested in. Maybe she thought I was much more innocent than I was!
Suddenly she stopped and said, "This is my house" and headed down the short drive looking for her key in her bag as I continued to follow. She opened the door, stepped inside, and held the door open for me whilst she removed key out. "Come on in" she said. "You can hang your coat on the banister."
I stepped into a lovely warm house. She closed the door, put her bag down, unbuttoned her coat as I took mine off giving me another lovely smile to try to put me at ease because I was obviously nervous. She had a white cardigan with a patterned dress on underneath, one of those knee length cotton dresses with buttons up the front. She also had dark tights or stockings on, I could not tell which. "I'll put the kettle on" she said as she hung her coat on a hook behind the door, "Come on through" she added. We walked to the kitchen at the back which had a window onto a private garden, surrounded by small trees and hedges and not obviously overlooked.
As she filled the kettle she said, "Have a seat. Would you like something to drink?"
I sat down and said, "Squash is fine, if you have got any."
She made me some squash and finished making her cup of tea, all whilst telling me about the house and how they had been there just over a year and loved the quiet but close-to London feel of the place.
When we both had our drinks, she sat down across the kitchen table and said, "So, what did you want to ask me about the opposite sex?" adding a slight smile.
I paused for a while to gather my questions as I could not quite believe I was getting the chance to ask. "Well," I said "I've recently started to find girls and women fascinating and I don't know why. My heart races when I think about them, like it's racing now" I said very nervously, visibly shaking as I clutched my glass.
She reached across the table and put her hand on my hand and said, "It's nothing to be nervous about, it's just very natural. Let me help you ... go ahead and ask me what you're really interested in knowing."
"OK" I said, trying to form some words, "I've often imagined what a woman looks like without her clothes, but I've never had the chance to see one in-the-flesh, as it were." That was it, I said it and paused.
"Well," she said and smiled again "How about I take my clothes off and you can see for yourself? Purely for educational purposes, you understand."
"Really?" I said, sounding hopeful and surprised at the same time.
"If that's OK with you" she said.
"Of course" I replied.
So, she pushed her chair out and stood away from the table. Then, facing me and with a calm, gentle smile, she took off her cardigan, put it on the back of her chair, and started to unbutton her dress from the top. I was still nervous and embarrassed, so I took a quick glance around expecting someone to interrupt somehow.
"Don't worry, there's no-one else here. My husband does not get home until 7. If you want to know what a woman looks like, you need to watch closely" she added.
I turned my gazed back and fixed on her, switching my look between what she was doing with her hands and her smiling face which was fixed on me. As she got halfway down her dress, I could see she had a white lacy bra and a white slip. She pulled the bottom of her dress up to finish the buttons, then she slipped the arms out and put it on the back of the chair. She stood up straight and put her hands on her hips and smiled again.
"So far, so good?" she asked.
All I could do was nod.
She kicked off her flat heeled shoes and put them to the side. She then used her hands to push her slip down, stepping out of it. It was now I could see she had tights on and what looked like quite feminine matching lacy knickers underneath. She took the top of her tights and peeled them down to mid-thigh, bending over and looking at them to do it.
Whilst her gaze was off me, I glanced passed her at the window wondering if someone might look in, but she spotted that immediately and said, "I hope you're still watching."
I put my gaze back on her as she stood up and looked at me again.
"What do you think so far?" she said.
"You look lovely" I said, not quite knowing how to express the ecstasy that I was going through.
