The headlights of Heather's car cast strange shadows upon the walls of the library as she shut the engine off. Another evening at the computers. Another evening of combating the emptiness inside herself. "Only a few more weeks" she muttered. "A few more weeks and I'll have my own computer and wont have to keep coming back to the library, with their outdated equipment and who knows who pounding away on the keyboards." She also knew a great truth. The truth that she was a lonely girl and if it wasn't for the occasional foray into cyberspace she would not have much of a social life at all.
Heather sighed, as she gathered her papers and locked the car door. How long would it be before she would know the bliss of anothers touch. A touch beyond the odd fumblings in the backseat of yet another disappointing date. A touch of true desire from a lover to herself alone. She silently cursed a God who for so long had denied her the pleasures that seem to come so easily to others. The stale scent of countless books and periodicals greeted her as she walked past the librarian who merely smiled and nodded to her in familiarity. Heather was a regular to the few computers her library had. One could always count on her to be sitting at the keyboard on Friday nights, catching up on her e-mail and chatting with folks whom she was sure led far more exciting lives than herself. Most nights she would be alone. Other nights perhaps two or three ladies would be sharing the communities cyberworld.
Tonight was crowded, all full but one. She paid no attention to the lovely dark haired girl who was seated at the computer next to her. Other than to notice she was quite beautiful. The girls perfume teased Heathers senses, and for the briefest of moments she felt a flush of excitement waft over her. She smiled at the girl, and a smile was returned, both warm and genuine. Heather was mildly confused at her own feelings but chocked them up to being tired, or the cravings inside all of us for the attentions of another, no mater who they might be. The attentions of a friend and confidant to share ones most intimate desires and joys. That is what Heather had craved and unknowingly that is what Heather had found.
The evening wore on, as Heather typed up several friendly letters and briefly chatted with some friends in far off places. Occasionally interrupted by the girl next to her laughing and enjoying what was obviously a delightful cyber session. She was playful and self assured, almost borderline rude in a friendly sort of way. Heather liked this girl in spite of herself, and could not help glancing over at her at every opportunity. Heather felt a touch on her shoulder. It was the girl with a mischievous grin.
"Hey, you want to see something funny?" the girl winked at Heather. Heather looked over at the girls computer and noticed she was in an adult chat room. "I've been chatting with this girl and we just started cybering, she has no idea that I'm a girl too! Ironic isn't it? she says I've been teasing her in ways no man has ever teased her before!" The girl stopped to giggle at the joke. "No kidding right?, I mean who else would know how to really please a woman but another woman? I just don't have the heart to tell her". Her soft touch on Heathers shoulder became more of a caress as the two laughed together.
And so the friendship began. She was Rebecca. She had a zest for life, and made friends easily. She knew what she wanted and was unashamed to show the world. She craved pleasure the way others crave passion. She knew that life was short and if ecstasy could only come from another womans touch, so be it, and the rest of society be damned. The two girls spent the rest of the evening playing with the unknowing cyber friend, enjoying each others company and laughing from the deception as well as from the erotic thoughts that came to mind. It was all too soon that closing time was upon them and they gathered up their belongings as they headed for the door.
Rebecca looked at her watch. "You know hun; the nights still young, feel like going out for a quick drink or two?" Heather knew she had no plans for the next day and readily agreed. The bar was dark and the two sat in a small booth tossing back yet another glass of white wine. Heather was confused at the thoughts she was having. Rebecca had made her feel like no man ever had before. To society it was supposed to be wrong. But Heather knew inside that whatever her feelings were, the love between them was as right as a storybook romance. Rebecca knew this feeling very well and almost instinctively she lay her hand upon Heathers thigh. Rebecca smiled as she saw Heathers eyes close, returning her caress by placing her hand over hers and sighing wistfully.
