To all my lovely Followers.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my stories. I am so grateful and I really appreciate it as I try to be a better writer.
This story was written very recently while my Mistress left me to go on a journey that lasted over two weeks. I wrote for her homecoming!
With love and kind regards,
Suzy

"She is so beautiful." Suzy thought.
But Suzy could not define why she found the girl so beautiful. The afternoon light helped, filtered by the rain-streaked windows of the tiny bar. The girl's almond-shaped eyes definitely helped too. Suzy was sitting in the shadows in her favourite corner of her favourite bar. She went in the first time because of its name, 'Cafe Courage'. It had been a time when Suzy was feeling far from courageous. A relationship had ended unexpectedly and Suzy had been badly hurt. The bar was in a part of Amsterdam that she knew well, the Jordaan district.
The beautiful girl was sitting at the bar counter and drinking heavily, really heavily. Glass after glass of Dutch gin and it appeared to be having no effect. She held the tiny glass in long elegant fingers and leaned forward slightly as she sipped the clear liquor. It was such a delicate movement and Suzy was fascinated by the slimness of the girl's body. A chest even flatter than her own? Was this even possible?
It was then that their eyes met. And the smile happened. For Suzy it was like the sun coming out. 'Radiant' doesn't come close.
Fenne smiled too. And it was Fenne's bar and Fenne had always been kind to Suzy whenever she came in. Fenne kept the men away and so was very protective of the girl she knew to be fragile in some way. In truth Fenne was a bit in love with Suzy but she kept it to herself. But Fenne felt a certain something when Suzy opened the door and sought out her special quiet corner.
Then that smile happened again. And it lured Suzy from her seat and on to the bar stool beside this mysteriously beautiful girl.
"Sonia." Said the beautiful girl and a hand was extended. The girl's voice seemed with any trace of any particular accent. It was, Suzy thought, a kind and gentle voice.
"Suzy." Suzy responded and she took the hand and held it and the hand was so delicate and cool to the touch and, well, thought Suzy, simply beautiful. Fenne poured two shots and smiled to herself. Suzy made a face and threw back the bitter oily liquid. Actually, thought Suzy, the gin wasn't so bad once you got used to it. Fenne poured again and Suzy and Sonia drank.
"I have something much better than this at home... " Sonia whispered.
Suzy laughed out loud at such an obvious come-on but she was flattered too. It had been ages since she had allowed herself to be hit on quite like this. But this was special, she told herself, this is an unusual situation and it was time that she allowed herself to take a risk.
"One for the road, or maybe it should be 'one for the canal'." Sonia laughed and 'one more' was poured and Fenne watched as the girls walked out into the rain arm in arm.
"Where are we going?" Suzy asked.
"Not far Suzy, my apartment is on Keizersgracht... it's very close.
Suzy had certain memories of the Keizersgracht canal, especially the bridge where the canals joined and Leidsegracht crossed and it was here that they had said goodbye and it was here that the woman she loved cut her loose from everything she had ever cared about.
Water cascaded from the overhanging roofs, they stayed close the walls to avoid the worst of the rain. Suzy looked at her new friend more closely as they walked along. Those eyes were astonishing, neither one colour nor another and sometimes seemed almost black. Sonia was laughing and joking and walking perfectly steadily but Suzy had seen her drink at least a half bottle of genever. She was all arms and legs in the taxi. Suzy was a lanky girl herself but Sonia seemed to be even longer limbed. They held hands and the touching made Suzy feel calm and confident.
Over the bridge and Sonia called for the driver to stop. Steps down to a low door and then a dark corridor. Sonia took Suzy's hand and led her. A noisy rattling lift with no sides and a metal grill for a door and then the apartment. Now Suzy could actually hear the blood roaring in her veins.
It was if the whole world had changed a gear. In that darken hallway, Suzy was crossing into another world.
A cavernous room with a vaulted ceiling covered in tiny stars. Suzy ran to the windows and looked down at the canal. People running home through the rain, the taxis splashing over the stones. She turned as Sonia was offering her a glass of white wine. God... Suzy knew she had to slow down on the drinking.
