Although Erinn was somewhat shy, and a bit difficult to get along with, she and Patti struck up a quick friendship. It made sense for the both of them, however, for they had a lot of the same needs. The two women were both fairly young, attractive, and in need of someone to just hang around with. Erinn because she was the new girl in the office, and Patti because she had just gotten through a rather messy divorce. Together they would go out, just for a drink after work or to go dancing, and together they'd have someone to go shopping with or just have fun. They became nearly inseparable, and their close friendship was soon the talk of the office. Not that anything beyond a strong friendship had developed, rather it was a situation where one of them was, there the other would be. So it was only a matter of time before Patti managed to get Erinn interested in her favorite pastime, diving.
Erinn wasn't quite sure if this was something that she wanted to get into, but her friend Patti was very convincing. She took control, helping Erinn to find a beginners diving course, and even loaned her a wet suit. Fortunately for Erinn, she and Patti were nearly the same size, and the suit fit, saving her that expense. Secretly, Patti enjoyed the fitting out session, helping Erinn squeeze herself into that tight fitting neoprene suit. It gave her a chance to finally get her hands on that gorgeous young brunette's body, one she thought she'd never have. As she expected, Erinn's body was firm to the touch, so tantalizingly close, yet just out of reach. Sure Erinn had all the usual body image complaints, but as Patti helped zip the wet suit up for the first time, she could tell that Erinn had nothing to worry about. It was much the same for Patti, but she did work hard to stay in shape.
About the only difference between the two women, besides hair color, was that Patti was a lot more generously endowed than her friend, by at least two cup sizes. Patti knew that those were her best assets, and wasn't afraid to flaunt them. She didn't have a bad rear end either, and quite often used that to her advantage. The word was out in the office that she was one who would let flirtations go just a bit farther. Usually, that meant a peek up her skirt, or in some cases a quick feel. After all, Patti wasn't one for sleeping around. She wasn't completely chaste, of course, and there were whispered rumors around the water cooler about what an exciting lay she was. Erinn was a bit more reserved, and Patti kept any overt touching to a bare minimum. What she was able to manage felt quite good, and she smiled inwardly to herself, remembering a time that Erinn had innocently touched a little more.
That incident had been in the coffee room, just a few days before. Patti had come in unexpectedly on Erinn, and they got to talking. Erinn had complained about how tired she was, saying that she was having trouble staying awake at her desk. Her friend empathized with her, and they shared a quick drink. The coffee helped, but as they were heading out the door, Erinn was still a little fuzzy headed. Patti had noticed this, of course, and a quick glance behind her told her that Erinn's hand was in just the right position...
"Oh, God!" said Erinn with a start. "Patti, I'm so sorry."
Patti smiled back at her. Stopping short right then and there had caused Erinn's hand to grab onto Patti's cute ass. She enjoyed the brief contact, and laughed with her friend. "It's OK, sweetie, just have to watch where you're going." This was all deliberate on Patti's part, but Erinn never caught on. It did wake her up for the rest of the day, and it also sent shivers down Patti's spine as she remembered how good her friend's hand had felt on her butt. She even thought that she felt Erinn's hand closing on her cheek for a brief moment. Perhaps there would one day be a way for her to feel more, much more.
Until then, Patti could dream, and for the next couple of weeks, she could look forward to helping Erinn into that tight wet suit and helping herself to the occasional feel. If Erinn noticed, she didn't complain, but neither did she give her friend any additional encouragement. That disappointed Patti, to a certain degree, but she maintained her close friendship with Erinn and helped her along with the dive certification course. All went well with the course, and Erinn was a fast learner. In a matter of weeks, she judged herself able enough to go out on a dive with Patti, and the two eagerly made their plans. There was an artificial reef just a few miles offshore, great for a beginners trip. Getting there would be no problem, Patti owned her own boat, thanks to her ex-husband, and she could handle taking it out on a short trip. Erinn was eager to go, and readily accepted when Patti offered her to stay the night before they left. That way, they could head out onto the water bright and early, taking advantage of the entire day.
The rest of the work week couldn't pass by quickly enough, and late Friday afternoon, Erinn made her way over to Patti's. First order of business for both women was to get out of their work clothes and into something softer. Shorts and cotton tank tops were the garments of choices, although Patti's were somewhat more revealing than Erinn's. In fact, Erinn seemed a bit shocked at her friend's choice of tight cut off jean shorts and a virtually transparent top, but that was Patti for you. She didn't seem to notice Erinn's occasional glances at the dark circles around her nipples, or the looks her friend cast at her partially exposed butt. Like so many other evenings that they had spent at Patti's, they shared dinner and went over their plans. Patti pretty much had everything well under control, and the girls even went so far as to lay out their things for the morning. While they were doing so, Erinn took advantage of the opportunity to show off a new bathing suit she had bought just for this dive.
Patti made a show of rummaging through her closet as Erinn headed down the hall to retrieve her suit. From all the time they spent together, Patti had a good idea what kind of suit Erinn had in mind. Just then, she returned, proudly holding up a rather nice looking one-piece, and drawing a polite smile from Patti. "Oh, wow, that's a great suit honey," she began. "I bet it looks real good on you, why don't you try it on, I want to see."
With a somewhat puzzled look, Erinn replied, "Sure, just give me a second, I'll be right back." She then disappeared into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. It didn't shut quite all the way, and Patti was able to steal a peek of Erinn's reflection in the mirror. Her friend was dressing quickly, and Patti didn't want her to know she was looking, but she enjoyed what she could. Erinn didn't get her top covered in time, giving Patti a lengthier view of her petite little tits, and she was also able to catch a fleeting glance at the dark brown hairs of Erinn's bush. Patti could feel her own pussy moistening, but then Erinn was finished dressing and Patti retreated. For the moment, it would have to do.
Erinn emerged from the bathroom, holding her arms out at an angle to present herself to Patti. She laughed when she saw Patti's approving smile, and did a slow turn. Patti took advantage of that opportunity to view Erinn's firm ass. She licked her lips at the sight of those delicious curves, and wished they weren't hidden behind form fitting lycra. Erinn's swimsuit was fairly conservatively cut, as Patti had expected, but even so, her friend was definitely worth watching in it. The blue material was nearly as dark as Erinn's hair, and it was flecked intermittently with gold streaks. All in all, it made for a nice contrast to her fair skin, but Patti knew Erinn could wear something a whole lot more striking. She was in the middle of giving Erinn a rather thoughtful look when her friend spoke up.
"Don't you like it, Patti?"
