Dani's mind was in a state of restless confusion - she was not a lesbian. She knew this because she knew that she liked men. Whilst she was not a slut she had been with enough men to know that she enjoyed the feeling of a strong man taking her, parting her legs and sliding his cock inside her. And besides sex with a man was normal, natural.
Her mind drifted back to her school days and the awkward moments spent undressing in front of the other girls before PhysEd classes. She recalled how she used to wrap a towel around her, cast her eyes to the floor and quickly undress; she also recalled the almost nauseas feeling that she got in the pit of her stomach, being around other naked women. That feeling was back, and it was back strong.
"Sorry about that, the neighbour wanted to know if our electricity was off too. So it's not just us!". Talia smiled and plopped down next to her friend on the couch. "Wine, candles, now where were we....".
"Uh, sorry, I think I have to go - I'm late and, uh, Conrad is maybe home", Dani said and squirmed in the chair where just a few minutes earlier she had been locked in a not-quite passionate, but not altogether friendly, kiss with Talia.
"You have to go?". Just like that you have to go? What about me? You just gonna leave me here?".
"Sorry Talia, I don't know what happened back there - it's just that... you know I'm not...".
"You not what Dan? Not what? You been sending signals my way for MONTHS now!".
"No I have not! I have a boyfriend!".
"You have a boyfriend? You have a BOYFRIEND? What the fuck is that supposed to mean Dani? Look me in the eye and tell me that you have no feelings for me?".
A combination of wine and the lingering smell of Talia's lipstick on her own lips made something stir inside Dani as their eyes locked in the pale candlelight. She could see that Talia was unhappy; was it unhappy - or maybe even hurt?
Dani suddenly became aware of the nauseas feeling in her stomach again. That same feeling. But there was something else - something that she was unaware of before. Could it be that.... The idea was absurd! There was NO way that she could be - aroused? Dani's head was spinning and she leaned back on the couch, closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind.
