This is new two or maybe three part story. All characters are over the age of eighteen. It's got an Older/Younger Lesbian theme and a few of my favourite fetishes in it, but nothing too strong. Hope you enjoy it, and comments are always welcome.
Kathy, my only child, now nearly twenty four, persuaded me to do it. What happened I am slightly ashamed of, but looking back afterwards I don't regret...

It started with a phone call...
"She won't be any trouble Mum, I promise. She's all loved up and just needs somewhere to get changed on the Saturday before she goes out. She probably won't even come home in the evening, but she needs to stay in town on the Sunday night too as she's got a job interview on the Monday. I'll come home if I can on the Sunday evening to relieve you, but she really won't be any trouble, I promise. She's really nice and you know... quite quiet. I think you'd enjoy having her to stay, what else have you got on that weekend?"
"Not much I suppose, just a hair appointment," I replied.
"So, you could do it. Please Mum, it will be such a help. She doesn't know anyone else in London, so she'd have to stay in a hotel and she can't really afford that and it would probably be a waste of money...."
"I'll think about it," I replied.
"Oh come on Mum, stop being such an old fogey...Please??..."
"I said I'll think about it," I snapped.
"Okay good." Kathy knew she wouldn't get the better of me by trying to coerce me, and so she changed the subject.

A couple of days later, she called again.
"Dare I ask whether you've decided whether Alison can come and stay with you next weekend?"
"You dare," I replied teasingly.
"So, can she?"
"I suppose so."
"Daww thanks Mum - you're the best. What time can she arrive?"
"Well, I'm back about 2.30pm so any time after that."
"Great."
"So how will I recognise her?"
"I'll send you a picture text, but you met her when I was at Uni, you should remember her she's got amazing red hair and blue eyes. She was in Portsmouth Hall with me and at my twenty first party. `'
"I really don't remember her, please send a picture."
"Course."
And so, the arrangement was made.
***
The picture Kathy sent me didn't jog my memory at all. Perhaps the painful separation and divorce from her father, which punctuated most of her time at Southampton, was to blame.
Kathy was no slouch when it came to beauty. She'd inherited Hugh's cheek bones, chin and eyes and my full lips and dark hair. The mix gave her very good looks, and her relentless fitness regime gave her the curves to match. When I received the text with the photo of Alison, I opened it expecting to find she was no match to my gorgeous daughter. I was however startled by Alison's pretty oval face, deep blue eyes and shroud of straight strawberry blonde, cut with a fringe in a long bob.
She would have no trouble attracting boys, no trouble at all...

The Saturday turned out to be a lovely sunny day. It had rained pretty much all week so it was a relief to sit out on the patio and drink coffee with The Times and Vogue to pass the time. I cleared up just before midday, and walked down the hill for my appointment. I'd be home well before Alison arrived.
***
As things turned out, when I turned the corner into our road, she was waiting at the gate. I could see at once it was her. Her strawberry blonde hair caught the sunlight.
As I drew near, I could see her white teeth just visible between her smiling full lips.
"Mrs Purfleet?"
"Yes - but please call me Jane, you're obviously Alison."
"Yes, how do you do."
We shook hands, hers delicate with long fingers and glossy nail polish, mine veiny and middle-aged.
"Come in won't you, would you like some tea, and how was your journey?"
"Yes please. The journey was great, I love trains."
I opened the front door and led the way into the hall. Alison had a backpack and a grip which I helped her with - putting them by the stairs. As I straightened up, I caught sight of myself in the large mirror above the hall stand. It wasn't good. Maxine had gone far too far with her scissors and cut my hair much shorter than I'd wanted.
"Ohh," ...I exclaimed.
"Everything all right?" Heather asked.
"Yes fine, just caught sight of myself after my visit to the hairdresser. Bit of a disappointment that's all. It's a lot shorter but not exactly stylish."
"I think it looks really nice, it suits you," Alison said encouragingly. "I used to wear my hair really short, I loved it for a while. You'll get used to it."
"I should have gone somewhere else. All she's done is give me a bob, and she's not done much of a job at that," I said. "Come through, won't you?"
Alison followed me through to the kitchen and I invited her to sit down on the sofa facing the garden.
"This is a lovely house, was Kathy brought up here?"
"No, we lived in Oxford when she was young, I only settled here after my divorce from her father. It's really very small, there's only three bedrooms and one bathroom."
"But a lovely garden by the look of it."
"Yes, it's my favourite place, thank you. Now do you want breakfast tea or Earl Grey?'
"Breakfast, with milk but no sugar, please."
"Coming up," I replied and went to fill the kettle.

We took our tea out on to the patio to take advantage of the spring sunshine and sat and chatted for an hour or so. Alison sat rather formally with her hands in her lap and an upright pose. She wore a grey hand knit cardigan on top of a ribbed white top, a knee length denim skirt, tights and ankle boots. She wore little jewellery, save for a small pair of hooped gold earrings and a single gold ring on the third finger of her left hand.
We talked about her and Kathy's time at Uni, and a little about her upbringing. She was an only child. Her father had been in the Army but was now retired and living in Cornwall, her mother lived elsewhere it seemed. She was working in marketing for a food company in Wiltshire, and her interview on the Monday was for a bigger job in a multi-national.
She wasn't the easiest conversationalist, but the time slipped by amicably. When the sun left the garden, around 4pm, we went in and sat in the kitchen with a second cup of tea.
"So, tell me about the hot date you're going on tonight, Alison. What is his name?" I asked as we settled down with the tea and a plate of biscuits."
"Oh...I thought Kathy told you," came the reply.
"No, I'm completely in the dark."
"Ah. Well, the thing is - it's not with a boy."
"Oh!" My surprise must have been obvious. "Well tell me about your girlfriend then," I said, trying desperately to recover my composure.
"Her name's Lulu. We've known each other about two months. We met at a conference in Birmingham. It has all been a bit of a whirlwind over the last few weeks. I really really like her but I'm not very experienced. She's a bit older than me and she's quite demanding, but I like doing things to please her. She came up with the idea of the dinner tonight and perhaps it might go further. I really thought Kathy had told you. I'm pretty nervous actually...."
"I see. Well, we all have to go through the odd trial to find what we want," I said lamely. "Where are you going?"
"It's a bistro in South Kensington, and we'll probably then go to a club."
"Sounds lovely," I said enthusiastically.
"I'm really looking forward to it. We've been chatting on the phone and on-line all week about it. I've even gone and bought new underwear and two new outfits. Can't make up my mind which to wear."
"I'm sure you'll look lovely whichever you choose," I said maternally.
"Thank you Jane, you're very kind. I wish my mother were as nice as you are."
Sensing a sensitive subject area, I went for a diversion.
