Author's Note:
It's been a while since I indulged in a spot of girl-girl erotica. Generally I feel that the female touch is best in this category (women knowing women etc.) but it's the craft I love most of all and the art of human communication that I love to explore through this medium. I'm just revisiting, albeit briefly.
Please forgive the liberties I took. Or alternatively, don't. I'm a cynical and selfish writer who hopes that teasing the erogenous zone of his own imagination will please the reader; once I'm done mentally fapping to a dramatic high-quality brand of porn that is sadly imaginary and destined never to become a reality.
But that's why we read erotica I suppose. That and porn being an expensive meat-market where the emotion is about as deep as a designer tribal tattoo...

'I keep having the craziest dream lately,' Zoe laughed nervously. And before she had even hinted at what was to come, she was blushing and grinning off into the deep blue.
Sunshine, heat, and alcohol were playing their part already. The conversation between her best friend Shelley, and their mutuals Ann Marie and Gabrielle had already turned to sex, which never took long.
When the girls turned their attention to her, she suddenly wished she hadn't said anything; and especially considering the look Gabrielle gave her.
It wasn't that Gabrielle didn't like her, or had it in for her in some way. Shelley herself had said it not so long ago. Gabrielle was new to the gang but there was no hiding the lack of men in her life, or her conversation. There was a slight possibility though, regardless of her preference, that she might have had a thing for Zoe.
Zoe hadn't forgotten since. And now considering the fleeting glances Gabrielle gave her once every now and then, she couldn't get the thought out of her mind and it was making her feel funny inside, in a way she'd never felt.
Gabrielle's body language was giving nothing away, until Zoe joined their little discussion on "favourite ways to get fucked". Shelley may have been right about her after all.
'Go on, we're listening,' Shelley encouraged, and because Zoe could still be shy at times.
The girls weren't prudes, far from it. Zoe was no prude either, but at 20 she was a little more naive than most, or was innocent the better word? At 22 Shelley - who Zoe often referred to as a trophy blonde - was already engaged and living with her other half.
Ann Marie was the oldest of the girls at 25, larger than life - larger than Amy Schumer too - and compensated for her allegedly hereditary heft with an unbelievable sexual wanderlust. Some might have suggested that maybe she was compensating for looks, but there was no mistaking Ann Marie, a shameless man-eater, who wasn't ugly or even unattractive.
'Ooh yeah, do tell,' she said rubbing her hands together eagerly, which already had the girls laughing as Zoe dared herself to tell all.
It was only late Saturday afternoon and they were already sozzled, lounging on the recliners in Shelley and John's back garden. They were currently blasting Porcelain and the Tramps, the volume dialled over halfway up in their attempt to drown out the screaming children and their own demented music a few doors down. By the sound of things, there wasn't much adult supervision over there.
'Well I'm not shouting it out for the whole neighbourhood to hear,' Zoe told Shelley red-faced, nodding at the CD player.
'No one will hear you, you're fine,' Shelley assured.
'No, turn it down just a little bit anyway,' Gabrielle insisted, adding; 'Alcohol numbs my ears!'
'Me too,' Ann Marie almost shrieked.
'And now we're all deaf,' Shelley quipped as she dialled back the volume.
Again they were laughing, snorting, quaffing their cocktails in between, when Zoe plucked up the courage to explain; 'I've been having the craziest dream that I'm fucking this girl...'
And then but for the music and the Lord of the Flies-style battle royal taking place at the neighbours', Zoe became all too conscious of an ensuing silence. Shelley chortled, brushed the golden bangs from her forehead and rubbed her burning eyes.
'Okay,' Ann Marie said with a grin, waiting...
'But in the dream I'm a guy,' Zoe explained. Notably, Gabrielle pursed her lips and almost tellingly battled to keep a straight face.
'Well that's different,' Shelley replied, not so tellingly.
Ann Marie on the other hand, responded with; 'How much porn are you watching lately?'
'I don't watch porn,' Zoe said defensively, and in all honesty. But Ann Marie's expression told that she didn't believe her, not for one second. And this time, more tellingly, Gabrielle arched her eyebrows into an expression of surprise.
'I don't know, what do you think that means?' Zoe asked the girls.
'Do you enjoy them?' Gabrielle asked.
'Huh?' Zoe hadn't anticipated such a question. Again she was consciously squirming.
'Do you enjoy the dreams or do they bother you?'
'Well...'

Now Gabrielle had a look about her that could melt butter without even trying. There was an actress Zoe knew and liked, Deborah Ann Woll, whom she thought was a natural blonde, as portrayed in Daredevil.
She was lithe and pretty, a girl next door with something extra that she couldn't put her finger on. In the show True Blood she played a redheaded vampire seductress. With her pale skin and grey-blue eyes, the best word Zoe could summon to describe her was "captivating".
Very similarly, Gabrielle shared her looks, but her hair was naturally auburn, and her face was more the build of Jennifer Connelly - another woman Zoe was not afraid to admit she found attractive.
Now as Gabrielle's own grey-blue eyes penetrated Zoe, she felt her heart race as she considered either admitting or denying the truth.
'Do you enjoy the dreams or do they bother you?'
'Oh I enjoy them,' Zoe nodded, avoiding eye-contact with either of the girls, and she was blushing harder now. 'I mean they've kind of worn down my defences by now, but don't you think that's weird?'
'Not that weird,' Shelley offered, before Gabrielle asked the all-important question.
'And if you enjoy them, then do they have to mean anything?'
'Hmm, I suppose not,' Zoe considered.
'Maybe your brain is trying to tell you something,' Ann Marie hinted with a sly wink.
'Like what?' Zoe asked at precisely the same time she made the connection, and then her mouth dropped wide open. 'Oh!'
Tickled to no end, the girls weren't going to let this lie now, and she knew it. 'Nothing wrong with a bit of girl on girl,' Ann Marie continued her assault, but knowing her, the girls would quietly believe that she had already been there and done that.
