As I sat quietly in the terminal waiting to board my plane, the sounds of people, the intercom, and the engines of the planes outside filled my ears. I was always nervous about plane trips. I mean I have taken several in my lifetime, and always managed to come out safe, but watching all the news on the TV about these horrible plane crashes, I couldn't help but to be nervous. I decided to try to ease my mind by looking at a magazine, but I just kept thinking about it.
"Nervous?" I looked up from my magazine and saw a woman, probably in her late 20's with long blonde hair and green eyes. She was wearing a short black dress and black heels.
"Oh," I said with a laugh. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." She got up and sat in the empty seat beside me.
"My name is Eve, and yours?" She said extending her hand. "Uh, Tara" I said, shaking it.
"Well hello Tara, nice to meet you. What seat will you be sitting in?" She asked. I fumbled for my tickets and looked. "It looks like 32A."
"Well, well well," she said with a smile. "Looks like we'll be neighbors."
I heard the call over the intercom for our flight and grabbed up my bags. Eve was behind me and we boarded the plane and found our seats. Luckily I had the window seat. Eve sat beside me and we took conversation until the plane took off.
"So", she said. "Married, kids, the whole nine yards?"
"I'm Married, no kids. You?"
Not married, but I have a girlfriend." She said.
I guess the look of shock came across my face, because she let out a laugh and smiled.
"Don't knock it till you try it." She said with a wink.
"Oh, I am sorry!" I said with a nervous laugh. "I meant no harm. I just figured you were..."
"Straight?" She asked.
"Um, yeah."
"Well I was for a long time, until I found Susan. She has been my best friend since the 7th grade, and when I broke up with my boyfriend 2 years ago. she was there... comforting me. It just happened one night, and it was the best sexual experience I have ever had."
"You know, only a woman knows how to please a woman like a woman wants to be pleased." She said with a slight grin, and with that she excused herself to go to the restroom. I was sitting there in what seemed like a daze. I had seen movies with two women together, and had read stories about it, but never actually saw myself doing it. I was a happily married woman! I had all I needed at home waiting for me. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep thinking of my husband and the night that was to come with him when I got home.
"So, how old are you?" Eve said as she sat back down beside me. "I hope I didn't scare you with what I told a bit ago, it's just the truth." She said with a smile.
"I'm 27, and you didn't scare me, it just came to me by suprise."
