Having been best friends since the eighth grade, Tara and Destiny are inseparable. Over the past few months they have been attached at the hip, as is often the case when it comes to cheerleading season. Tara is tall and thin, athletic, and very pretty, just turned 18 in November. She has a rounded face with a button nose and bright, blonde, curly hair. She's about 5'6" with small but firm 32 B breasts, but her greatest asset is her firm, very round butt that has guys drooling every time she walks by. Destiny is shorter and a little curvier, about 5'3" with 34 C breasts and she too has a nice round ass, but hers is not quite as noticeable, she turned 18 in September, both were held back by their parents, another thing they shared in common.
Neither of them has spent much time focusing on boys, though both have had their share of boyfriends and have even went the distance on occasion. They spend most of their time playing sports, studying and hanging out with each other.
Now it was Christmas break and over these breaks you could barely see one without the other. In these times they had taken to talking about boys, about how they dreamed of having a worthwhile boyfriend who actually cared about more then getting in their pants, how they wished they could meet a boy they could be with like they were with each other. Someone they could talk to and share their secrets with, sadly though most of the boys in the class were sorely lacking in this respect. Nevertheless that didn't stop them from talking about sex and especially sex with boys. They had both experienced it one time, neither boy was particularly good at it, but they imagined what it would be like with someone who was. They talked about how they had dreams of what good sex would be like, what they wanted done to them, how they would react when they finally felt that first orgasm.
Finally, they admitted to each other that they that they were horny and that they had been masturbating at night on a regular basis. They both laughed and blushed, but they weren't ashamed, they talked like this all the time. Still, there was something different that night, after a long silence that seemed like 4 hours, Tara broke the silence with a strange, yet exciting, proposal. "What if we practice kissing each other, then we won't seem as bad to the boys when we kiss them," she blushed but she didn't really think anything about it. She had kissed her girl cousin a couple of times, her cousin was older and had offered to teach her how to kiss, so they did. Tara always enjoyed it, but she just passed it off as being excited about kissing a boy. Tonight though, she was more excited than she had ever been when she was on a date with a boy, though she couldn't figure out why. Tara was beginning to become embarrassed when Destiny finally answered with an unsure, but enthusiastic "sure, I could use the practice."
Though they had been friends and as close as sisters for years, these brief moments seemed as though they were two strangers meeting for the first time. Destiny turned and looked deep into Tara's eyes and leaned in close to her, Tara likewise leaned in to Destiny and the two touched lips for the first time, an exquisite first touch, the two seemed locked together, like time had frozen in that moment. Slowly they began to go a little further with the kiss, each parting their lips, but neither daring to explore the other's mouth with her tongue. Destiny made the first move from here, reaching up slowly to gently caress Tara's cheek and pull her in tighter. Tara returned the touch by inserting her tongue into Destiny's mouth, while surprised at first, Destiny returned the invitation and the two continued for what seemed like hours, yet passed in a single instant.
When the two finally parted lips, they both sat dumbfounded at what had transpired. What frightened each of them most was how much they had enjoyed the encounter, though neither of them was ready to admit it. A little afraid to talk about the events of the evening, they both went to bed for the night, however sleep did not come easy to either of them, they were too excited to really sleep.
The next day went as any other normal day, as though nothing had really happened, both discussed the normal things, they went about doing what they normally would, finally Tara was getting ready to go home when they discussed their plans for Christmas. They were both going to family over the immediate holiday, but they agreed to spend the night at Tara's house on the 26th. They had also agreed on buying gag gifts for each other this year instead of trying to find something meaningful. It was better that way, made things easier and they didn't have to worry about whether their gift was special or not.
As the next couple of days went on, both of the girls found waiting on the 26th was like waiting for your 16th birthday, though neither of them wanted to truly admit the reasoning behind their anticipation. As the days dragged by, both went and picked up the gag gift they had in mind, both wondering how the gift would be received and both wondering what the reception would mean for their relationship.
