Dorothy awoke with a little hangover and a lovely glow. She turned over, reaching for Rhia but the girl wasn’t there. A moment later “Sleepyhead,” came Rhia’s voice. “I was beginning to wonder when you’d wake up.” She sat on the bed, naked. “Here.” She held out a cup of coffee.
Dorothy sat up and took the cup in both hands. “What time is it?”
“Eleven thirty.”
“Oh. But it’s Saturday, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Thank God.” Sipping the rich, dark elixir, Dorothy asked, “Don’t tell me you got up at six as usual? It must have been five before we fell asleep.”
“I slept in, until eight.”
“Aren’t you exhausted?”
“Not now. I may be later. Right now I feel ...” Rhia spread her arms wide. “I feel wonderful.”
“You do, you know.”
“What?”
“Feel wonderful.” Dorothy grinned. “You taste good, too.”
Rhia got into the bed beside her. “So do you. I never imagined, Dot, I mean ...”
“It was wonderful.”
“Incredible.”
“Marvelous.”
“Orgasmic.”
“That, too.”
“Can we do it again?”
Dorothy rolled her eyes. “What have I created?” she cried.
Rhia laughed. “I didn’t mean right this minute.”
“Oh, good, because I need to have a pee and finish this coffee first. Think you can wait?”
“It’ll be difficult but I’ll try.”
“That’s my baby.” Dorothy drank some more of the coffee and then handed Rhia the cup. “Don’t go away,” she said as she slipped out of the bed.
Rhia watched her roommate leave the room, admiring the way Dorothy’s derriere moved as she walked. She sipped the coffee, then set it aside on her bedside table and drew the covers up to her neck. She felt indescribably happy. She’d discovered feelings and sensations she hadn’t imagined possible, and she’d discovered them with another woman. She had tried to imagine what her first real time making love would be like, once she found someone who wasn’t a groper. Amazing to think that person would be a woman.
Dorothy came back a few minutes later. She strode up to the bed, grabbed the bedclothes and yanked them down, leaving Rhia completely uncovered. “I just wanted to make sure you were real,” she said.
Rhia giggled and opened her arms to welcome Dorothy back to the bed. It was a narrow bed, really only big enough for one, but as the two young women had made the best of it during the night before they did so again on the morning after.
