It wasn't the first time Lindsey had announced she was done with men. Lindsey understood it was just a cry of pain as did her friends but at least for a little while she did mean it. Her best friend Trish insisted they get out for a night on the town. Translated that meant Trish wanted to visit one of the local meat markets and pine for hot guys. Trish had said, "We're single, twenty-four and gorgeous. Let's make them beg!" Lindsey was a tall lanky blonde with beautiful eyes, a killer smile but a boyish figure. Trish, on the other hand, was of average height, slightly overweight, a face full of freckles and a lush figure that she usually hid beneath bulky clothing. Her vibrant personality had made her "one of the guys" in high school and a friend to everyone but really close to no one save Lindsey. In their senior year while Lindsey had garnered the female lead in the school play Trish was out of sight painting scenery and put together props. It was her high energy and willingness to excel that had made it one of the best sets the school had ever known but still she toiled in relative obscurity a role she both loved and hated.
The truth was where Lindsey was really good looking but not "runway beautiful," as she liked to say, Trish was very average looking and secretly desired Lindsey's cast offs. She actually confided that in Lindsey once but Lindsey hadn't believed her telling her she could have any guy she wanted. Lindsey wasn't wrong either because in truth Trish had a bubbly infectious personality that her self image didn't keep up with. While Trish had had a single steady boyfriend during her high school career Lindsey had had a series of short passionate affairs. She was a popular cheer leader, running up to the home coming queen and a pretty good student as well. Both women were honor students in high school and college and while Lindsey saw them as equals Trish did not.
So the two young women spent the evening drinking and carousing at a place called The Loft. Trish pointed out at least a half dozen young men she said she wanted to take home with her but Lindsey, still in a funk from her most recent breakup, showed little interest. They called it an evening very early and were back at Trish's apartment just after eleven. Lindsey would have gone straight home after dropping Trish off but Trish had told her she wanted to show her some online pictures from the latest "Project Runway" show and since it was a show both women really enjoyed Lindsey agreed.
Trish's computer was in her bedroom. The two friends looked at the television show's most recent pictures and chatted about which designers they loved and which they hated. After a while Trish showed Lindsey a picture of a guy on an online dating site she really liked and asked her opinion of him. On line dating was something new to Lindsey so Trish explained it to her. Then she showed her the web camera she used to take pictures of herself and post. Lindsey listened with great interest as Trish explained it all then Trish showed her how she took pictures with it.
Trish took a couple of nice pictures and then started goofing around. She made faces first and then took a couple of "sexy" pictures which were just of her smiling and leaning over showing some cleavage which she had a lot of.
Then Trish said, "Oh, and look, I can make movies too" and she set her web cam on its movie setting. At first Trish stood and did a bit of a sexy dance and then played it back for Lindsey. Then she started it again. This time when she got up she put her arms around Lindsey's neck and entreated her to get up and dance with her.
"Oh come on," Trish whined.
"I really don't want to," Lindsey countered.
"Okay," Trish replied finally and then leaned forward and kissed Lindsey on her lips. It was a quick kiss and caught Lindsey by surprise. Trish was unsure of how her friend would respond but had left her arms around Lindsey's neck just the same. Trish was looking directly into Lindsey's eyes. She had quickly gone for her giggly usual self to a much more serious mood and when Lindsey didn't respond at all she leaned in and kissed her again, this time a little longer. Again they just stared at each other neither knowing quite what to say.
Finally Trish said returning to her bubbly self, "Okay, let's see what it looks like." She sat back down and ran the short video. "Pretty hot huh?" Trish said looking for acceptance from Lindsey and hoping she hadn't alienated her friend.
Lindsey looked at Trish dead seriously and said, "No! I'm no lez like you are!" She just stared intently at Trish for a few moments without changing her expression and then quickly reached out and squeezed Trish's rather large breasts and said, "but for you I'll go lez." They both laughed.
They kidded each other about it for a few moments and then Trish asked, "So have you ever done it with a girl?"
"Done what?"
"You know," Trish replied awkwardly, "it" she said with emphasis.
"You mean had sex?"
"Yeah!"
"No!" Lindsey replied holding onto the word for a long time. "Trish you are such a slut!"
"I wish!" She replied, "but I would be if I looked like you!"
"You sound like my brother." Lindsey responded.
"What do you mean?"
"He calls me a carpenter's dream. Flat as a board," she said running her hands down her body, "and easy to nail."
"Don't say that Linds, you are not easy!"
"Maybe not but I am flat. God I wish I had your tits."
"And I wish I had your face."
"Yeah well, guys always seem to lose interest after they see me naked. They all seem to want a girl with tits like yours."
"I do have nice tits don't I." Trish said cupping her breasts and lifting them up." She leaned forward and while pushing them up jiggled them in Lindsey's face.
In what she thought was keeping with the moment Lindsey buried her face in Trish's breasts and rubbed her face over them a couple of times. When she pulled away and looked at Trish instead of seeing the joking face she was used to she saw something quite different. Trish surprised Lindsey by kissing her and not a short kiss like she had done before but a long one that had a lot of feeling behind it that wasn't lost on Lindsey.
Still very unsure of herself Trish didn't hold the kiss for nearly as long as she wanted. When she looked into Lindsey's eyes again she was uncertain of what she saw.
"So does this mean I'm officially a lesbo?" Lindsey asked.
"No!" Trish replied strongly.
Then in a little less assured way Lindsey asked, "Does it mean you are?"
Trish was a little taken back by her friend's question but honesty like this wasn't new to either one of them.
"No," Trish replied, "I like boys too."
"You mean you've done this with a girl before?"
Trish replied slowly, "Well yeah, a long time ago."
"Who was it?" Lindsey asked in her best gossip voice. She really wanted to know but she also realized how very personal it was.
Trish bit her lip and then replied, "Susie Miller."
"Susie Miller! You mean Goth Girl? Oh you tramp you! When?"
"It was a long time ago when we were still in high school and we really didn't do much, just kissing and stuff but no real sex."
Lindsey wanted to pursue this some more but feared she'd cross a boundary if she did. So instead she asked, "So you like this sort of thing."
