"Yeah, you're right, girl. I need to have a fun night out. It's been a while. I just don't want to deal with men right now, you know," I'm explaining to my friend, Jess, over the phone. "Don't get me wrong, I love cock but it's not like I want to go home with every one of them. I just want to have some fun and go home alone sometimes. It's not like I have a connection with every man I meet."
I hear Jess laugh and say, "Maybe it is time you converted." Jess and I had known each other for a couple years before she came out. She seems so much happier now that she is openly dating women. She loves hitting the lesbian bars in San Francisco and this time she tells me that I should go with her. I think about it for a minute and tell her that I want to go and would meet her for dinner after work before we hit her favorite spot in the city. We talk about where to have dinner then I hang up the phone and get back to work.
A few hours later and thankful that it is Friday night, I walk through the door of the restaurant, looking around to find Jess. I spot her at a table in the middle of the room with a couple of her friends and walk towards the table. We all say our hellos ordered some drinks as we looked over the menu. As the waitress returns with our drinks and takes our orders, we all get comfortable and started to chat. One of the friends, Lynn, turns to me and asked, "Are you ok that we decided to go to the city to party and hit a favorite spot? Erin is going to be our designated driver since she doesn't drink," she looks over to Erin, "so that means we can party all night long!"
"Absolutely, no problem; I am actually looking forward to having a good time so let the fun begin," I tell her. I raise my glass, smile at the three and say, "Cheers, to a fun girls' night out!" Everyone agrees and takes a drink of their cocktail.
I look around the table to see what everyone was wearing. Jess, as usual, is wearing black pants, white shirt and black jacket. Her long curly hair gelled the way she liked it and no make up. Lynn, being more feminine, is wearing a green short dress, her make-up done perfectly and her short red hair immaculately done. Erin, on the other hand, has her dark hair brushed haphazardly, in jeans, black t-shirt and a heavy flannel shirt with no make up. I look down, seeing my work clothes as I didn't have time to change before meeting them for dinner. I was wearing a black tight skirt that went just above my knees and matching jacket, white buttoned lace shirt and black heels; I was comfortable, so thought to myself, what the hell. I did manage to unbutton the top two buttons in the car so it didn't look too much like it was a work outfit. My long black hair brushed to a shine, laying passed my shoulders with my bangs just at my eyebrows. I didn't need much make up but had touched it up before leaving work.
We eat our dinner, talk and have more drinks when Jess tells us about this woman she has a huge crush on. Her name is Katherine but goes by Kat. Throughout dinner and on our ride to the city, she continues to talk about Kat, so naturally we give Jess a hard time.
After an hour drive, we get to the bar and as soon as we walk in, Jess starts to look around for Kat. We all give her another ribbing because her head is spinning as if she was Linda Blair in Exorcist. Suddenly she gasps out loud, walks quickly to the dance floor, leaving us wondering where she went. But knowing Jess as we do, she will find us when she wants to, so Lynn and I tell Erin that we need a drink and walk over to the bar. Erin is watching Jess come back and points to us at the bar. I see this tall blond walk over with them, realizing that she is Kat. I find out that she is over 6 feet and with her motorcycle boots, she is a giant in the bar among all the women. She is wearing black leather pants, that hugs her long, lithe legs and a tight black tank top that shows her curves and covered with matching leather jacket. Her hair is short and pulled back with gel and she has little make-up on but is really gorgeous, which makes her stand out even more than her height.
Jess introduces us all, we look around to find a table to sit and enjoy the night. Jess and Kat start to talk quietly on their own while Lynn, Erin and I were watching people come and go on the dance floor. Lynn sees a friend across the way, gets up to talk to her and Jess and Kat decide to hit the dance floor so Erin and I join them, too.
After a couple dances, I need to sit out and have another drink so I go back to the table, Erin following. We sit and chat when Jess comes back alone, looking a little dejected. Wondering what was wrong, I ask her. She sits down looks at me and says, "I asked Kat out and she said that she was not interested in me that way. She told me that she would love to hang out and be friends but she's more interested in getting to know you."
"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask her, surprised.
"That's what she just told me," Jess looks at me sadly. "I let her know that you're straight, was just out to have a good time and hang out with friends tonight. She thinks she can convert you," Jess says laughing at me.
"Oh, shit, I don't need this." I look at her and shook my head. "I came out to party; not have to worry about being picked up and now you are telling me that a woman wants me."
"I know, I know! I told her but she said she wanted to get to know you better and talk some," Jess tells me. "I am bummed but you can't make someone like you, so glad it is you and not someone else." She giggles and says, "Well, get ready, because here she comes."
I turn and see Kat walking back towards us. Always being pretty upfront, I know I will have to tell Kat that I am not interested but strangely, I feel some hesitation in doing so. She is fun, vivacious and I think that she and I could become fast friends. Just wasn't sure about a sexual relationship.
She sits next to me and smiles. I smile back and when I look up, Erin and Jess decide to take a walk through the bar and see if any friends were around, which leaves me alone with Kat. As we look at each other, she pulls her chair closer to me and asks, "Did Jess tell you about my interest in you?"
