Daughters of the American Evolution - Eve, Ch. 02
This story is part of a series called "Daughters of the American Evolution." The stories are all based on the concept of an allegedly sinister (some say beneficent) organization called 'Families Interaction Therapists', or FIT, that has put into action a plan to subliminally convert every female on earth to lesbianism, and to non-violently reduce the number of men on earth by 98%.
Eve's story is the account of how it all began....

Adana and Eve
"Welcome to the club," Eve said, leaning back in the kitchen chair.
"What's going to happen to me?" Adana asked, her eyes narrowing on the blonde seated across from her.
Eve smiled, her eyes resting on Adana's full bosom.
"I think that you and I are going to become very close friends."
"What do you mean?" Adana asked, her eyes now unable to meet Eve's.
"Well...you said that you were having dreams of other women, of having sex with them.
Why
are you?" Eve asked, not unkindly.
"I don't know...that's why I came to you," Adana said, weariness and frustration in her voice. She moved her nearly empty tea cup a few inches to the right.
"And did you think that I'm an expert on dreams...on sexual dreams?" Eve asked, wryly.
"No, no...but I think they have something to do with this...infection. Maybe you know what they mean, how I can stop them," Adana said, as she moved the tea cup back to its former position.
"Do you
want
to stop them?" Eve asked, with a faint smile. Her fingers caressed the handle of her own tea cup.
"Of course I do," Adana said, sounding offended. Her breasts rose and fell noticeably, once.
"Really?" Eve said. "So if I suggested a therapy to you - one that involved a necessary intimate relationship between us - you'd accept it, if I promised you that it would take away the uncertainty you're experiencing?"
Eve smiled to herself when she saw Adana's eyes widen at hearing the word 'intimate', then watched as Adana's eyes went from Eve's mouth, to her breasts, then to her pelvis.
"I guess so," Adana said, shrugging sulkily.
Eve smiled briefly. She was completely certain of what Adana wanted, even if Adana wasn't aware herself.
"Very well, then," Eve said. "I'll help you."
Adana looked relieved.
"Would you like more tea?" Eve asked the raven-tressed woman. Adana nodded, and Eve poured another cup for them both.
A few minutes later, setting down her cup, Adana said, "So, where do we go from here?"
Eve said, "You have to learn to trust me." Adana didn't respond, but just looked into Eve's eyes. Eve could see her fear, and a terrible fatigue there.
Eve stared at Adana for a long minute, not saying anything, then stood and took Adana's hand in hers. Adana's hand was like cold paper. Adana hesitated, then rose, and followed Eve to the bedroom. Eve could feel Adana's hand shaking, reflecting the torment and fear of the unknown the young girl was feeling.
Eve's heart went out to the girl, but then considered that it was Adana's fault alone that she was in her current situation - experiencing wild dreams of the lewdest kinds of sex with other women. Eve turned and looked at her erstwhile admitted 'adversary.'
"You really need some sleep. Lie down here, and get what you need." Eve's voice was so soothing and seductive to Adana's tired mind, that she could barely resist, and so she did as Eve commanded. Eve sat on the bed, her back against the headboard, her legs arranged to allow space for Adana between them.
Hesitantly, Adana sat, then moved between Eve's legs, and rested her shoulder on Eve's breast, her head on Eve's shoulder. Both women were completely dressed.
Eve could feel the fear in Adana's body, as tense as a coiled spring. She gently stroked the woman's curly black hair, and her finger tips gently stroked over Adana's neck, from her jaw line to her backbone.
"It's okay...you're safe...relax...relax...you're safe with me..." Eve crooned, over and over again, until she felt Adana's body gradually relax. Eve could feel Adana sinking slowly into sleep, her body pressing against Eve's. When Eve was certain that Adana was asleep, she allowed herself to sleep, too.

"Where are we?" Adana asked. She looked around at the bowers of flowering bushes, the numerous beautifully sculpted trees, the colorful birds flitting in and out of sight. The path before them seemed to stretch on endlessly.
"It looks like the Royal Botanic Gardens," Eve said, looking around. She turned her face to Adana's. "Shall we stroll?"
"I think I'd like that," Adana said. She looked at Eve, wearing a light spring frock, in pastel pink, then down at herself, in a similar light dress, all in lace and white, contrasting against her olive-toned skin. They each wore sandals, and bracelets and matching gold rings on the ring fingers of their left hands. Eve wore a small pendant, Adana a shimmering, almost invisible necklace of gold links.
The two walked together, occasionally brushing against each other, and talked about their childhoods, Eve in Olympia, Washington in the United States, and Adana in Barcelona, in Spain.
Adana laughed when Eve told a story about a classmate hiding an egg in her desk, that wasn't discovered for half the year. It was a memorable year for Eve, she said. It was her first year back at school after her kidney transplant - she was so anxious to make friends.
Eve smiled at Adana's story of a class trip to La Sagrada Familia, a massive temple in Barcelona, in which Adana was 'lost' while going off on her own, thinking the tour guide was a witch.
The two women admired the many blooming flowers and plants of the Gardens, and strolled the long, winding paths through it, sometimes encountering crowds or solitary visitors, but often finding themselves alone. Occasionally, their hands would brush together, and they would grasp each other's hand, smiling shyly at each other - then separating again.
Their conversation sometimes turned to hopes and fears, and those were the times that they found themselves pausing to sit on a convenient wooden trail side bench, dark oak and satiny-finished, many artfully hidden in flowering bowers to afford privacy.
"I think I'm afraid of being alone in my life," Adana confessed. "I think it leads me to make mistakes, sometimes." Eve patted her hand.
"Sometimes mistakes bring people together," Eve suggested.
