It was a Wednesday afternoon in mid-September and Jessica Berns made another visit to the campus of the local university. She was on something of a mission. Her last lover, Beth, was a pretty, tall blonde whom Jessica couldn't get enough of. She was a senior at the university. But after her lover graduated the previous summer and moved on, Jessica found herself looking for a new object for her attentions. But Beth left Jessica with a taste for younger women, and at thirty-five, felt she was still good looking enough to attract a young woman of similar persuasions.
She headed to the library, hoping to meet some nice young thing, who wasn't otherwise engaged on a Wednesday night. She wandered through different departments, looking over the various coeds, until moving on to the history section, where she eyed a young woman alone at a table consumed by the book she was reading.
Jessica gave her a good looking over; long sandy hair and rather petite, with a sweet, young face, and the enticing pert breasts of what Jessica suspected was a freshman.
She grabbed a book from the stacks and sat at the same table, giving the young woman a warm smile when she looked up. She made an effort to appear to read her book as she gauged the young woman. From what she could read upside down, the woman was reading something about early English history, a subject she could at least converse about.
But more, she could tell the freshman was taking peeks at her; something that gave her encouragement. Yet Jessica was doing the same. The more she took furtive glances at the young woman, the more enticed she became. Still, she had to doubt the likelihood of this cutie having interests on the feminine side.
When the young woman looked up again, Jessica decided to break the ice, "You seem absorbed with that book."
"Yeah," she replied. "Getting a head start on a paper I have to write."
"Admirable. I would think a young woman like you would prefer to be out having fun with friends... Or a boyfriend."
"Um, yeah, I guess," she said, before returning to her book.
"If I may ask, what is the subject?" Jessica asked, hoping to keep the conversation going.
"Oh, War of the Roses."
"Ah, fascinating subject. Well, I guess I shouldn't be interrupting your studies," Jessica replied, with a bit of disingenuousness.
The woman returned to her reading, although seemingly distracted from it by sly glances at Jessica. After a few minutes, she asked, "So, you know about it?"
"Yes, got into it around your age. Shakespeare's plays hooked me. Then I wanted to know the real history. All that intrigue!"
"Yeah, hard to keep up with all the characters."
"Yes. But it's what makes it fascinating. Oh, I'm Jessica. Call me Jess."
"I'm Lizzy. Well, except to my mom, who still calls me Elizabeth."
The women continued discussing and comparing notes about their shared subject while Lizzy's smiles grew on Jessica. The conversation continued for half an hour or so, with Jessica noticing Lizzy's eyes looking her over. Perhaps it was her eye-pleasing cleavage exposed by her silk blouse that did it, giving her further encouragement.
Jessica changed the subject, hoping for the next step. "I've distracted you from your studies for too long."
"No! Well... You were right. My heart isn't in it at the moment."
Jessica saw her chance. "I was going to get something to eat. I'd love some company, especially with a good conversationalist like you. I'll pay. And I'm sure you could probably use a good dinner."
A bashful smile crossed Lizzy's face before accepting the offer enthusiastically. There was something so innocent yet sensual about this young woman that was growing on Jessica.
When Lizzy stood, Jessica got her chance to fully take her in. Her T-shirt showed off her pert, fully formed breasts, enhanced by a slim waist; shorts that hugged her tight butt; finished by a pair shapely legs.
For her part, Lizzy sized up Jessica, who seemed dressed up a bit for the library, in a pencil skirt and heels, plus that silk blouse that complemented a pair of generous breasts.
As Lizzy collected her things, Jessica suggested taking her car.
"Let me drop my stuff off at my room," Lizzy asked.
At her dormitory, Lizzy invited her to come up. "My roommate should be out."
As she opened the door, Lizzy found her roommate still there at her computer.
"Hey! I thought you were going out?"
"Did. But I changed my mind. Who's this?"
"Oh! Kim, this is Jess. Jess, Kim. We're getting something to eat."
Both smiling, Kim and Jessica sized each other up. Kim was impressed by this tall, slim yet shapely brunette, while the older woman turned a discriminating eye on this curvy, dark-haired, tomboyish eighteen-year-old.
"Gotta go. See you tonight," Lizzy called out, as they exited.
Kim watched as they left, impressed by this new friend of her roommate, and a bit envious.
"I know a nice little bistro. Not far," Jessica suggested, as they walked to her car.
Lizzy was quite impressed to find Jessica's car was a Mercedes, and a new one at that.
At the restaurant, they got to know each other. Lizzy talked excitedly about finally being away from home, with Jessica confirming she was all of eighteen.
Probing her love life, she found that, while she had yet to find any guy on campus that interested her in the few weeks she had been there, there was no mention of any 'other' attractions.
Still, Jessica hadn't given up hope. If anything, the way this sweet young thing looked at Jessica from across the table was getting to her. She read that certain look a woman gives another woman when she likes what she sees. Or was Jessica reading more than was there?
Lizzy got Jessica to open up a bit about her life, learning she was an executive running a department at her company, something that impressed the younger woman.
As dinner wrapped up, Jessica broached an idea, "Why don't you come to my place, Friday. A home-cooked meal, and we can continue our conversation."
Lizzy's eyes brightened at the suggestion, and her agreement was more than satisfying to Jessica. After dropping Lizzy off at her dorm, and watching the young woman's cute butt saunter off, Jessica was quite pleased with the day. She had little expectation that she'd find the type of woman she was looking for. Yet, here she made friends with one. The open question was Lizzy's persuasions. And Lizzy had given her confusing signals.
As Lizzy entered her dorm room, Kim asked, "How was the date?"
Lizzy blushed and protested, "It wasn't a date!"
"Sorry, just teasing."
"Can't two women have dinner together?"
