Growing up, Angela and Jennifer were best friends through high school. They were inseparable. You would not find one without the other. They would study together, hangout at the mall together, even double date with their boyfriends at the time. That would all change upon graduation. Angela was headed to school on the west coast, UCLA specifically while Jennifer remained on the east coast, attending NYU.
Upon graduation from high school they had both intended to keep in contact with one another through email, instant messaging and phone calls. This was a time before Face-time, Facebook live and video conferencing. Needless to say they had both done their best to keep in contact at first. Then life just got in the way. Over their college careers, their communications grew more and more infrequent due to their busy and non-compatible schedules, not to mention the three hour time difference. As the distance between each time the two would connect grew further and further apart it would eventually stop altogether.
After graduation, Jennifer established her career and residence in Manhattan while Angela remained on the west coast. As close as they once were, they both took similar routes after college, focusing on their careers with some dating mixed in, but rather sporadically. Jennifer had pursued a career in law while Angela had earned her MBA and was climbing the corporate ladder of the banking world in California. Both were consumed with their careers while neither would stumble on "Mr. Right", the one who would take their breath away.
It would be 12 years before Angela would return to the city she loved, New York. Family and friends still lived where she grew up. The premise behind her trip back to her home was a combination of spending time at the corporate headquarters of the bank for which she worked as well as testing the waters with the other banks and thus seeing what was available. Could Angela improve her status? Was she a hot commodity in the banking world? She wouldn't know until she put herself out there. Was there risk involved? Possibly. Angela wasn't certain how her current employer would take to her talking with the competition. She will spend two weeks in the city with the first week devoted to the bank she works for while the second week will be devoted to Angela, family and interviews.
The trip was scheduled two months in advance so Angela had plenty of time to plan her trip. Would she stay in the suite the company had arranged for her? Would she stay with family or friends? Angela would have several options. Going back home for the first time in 12 years would also mean she would need to make time for the people in her life that she had left long ago. In the back of her mind she was wondering how they would be towards her. Angela wasn't the best at keeping in contact with either friends or family. So, there may be some cold shoulders she would encounter. Angela didn't tend to worry too much about anything and had become a master of being "in the moment".
Jennifer was on the fast track to partner in the law firm she works for. Her career since graduating at the top of her class from NYU and then having the luxury of multiple offers to choose from established the trajectory for her career. Jennifer decided on mergers and acquisitions at one of the top firms in New York. Jennifer's firm worked with all the major financial institutions and she has developed a reputation as a closer.
Jennifer could captivate a room with her presence and confidence and have anyone do her bidding. There was a presence about her that commanded one's attention and she knew how to use it effectively. You just couldn't say no to Jennifer, nor would she accept no for an answer. One might even say that no is not even in her vocabulary. Angela, on the other hand was no doormat but was intent on gaining a customer's trust and thus was a people pleaser. She wanted everyone to be happy, even if she was putting on a painted face for herself. Even as busy as she is, Angela would like to have someone in her life. She desires to give of herself to someone she so desires and loves, but has yet to meet that one person.
In spite of the void Angela has in her life, her focus since learning about the trip home and the additional plans to correspond with family are her sole focus. For the two months leading up to the trip, she has been in contact with her parents who still live in the house she grew up in. As an only child, Angela does not come from a large family, yet her uncles and aunts also reside in the same homes since she left for the west coast. Angela's mother, upon hearing of her daughter's homecoming, has likewise been planning a barbecue for the weekend between the two parts of her trip.
One night while sleeping Angela was awoken by an image from a dream. The image of the dream was Jennifer from 12 years ago. It had been some time since Jennifer crossed Angela's mind. She remembered her as she was 12 years ago. Even back then Jennifer was a blonde beauty. She turned heads and had her pick of all the boys in school. Angela was by no means a stick in the mud. Another blonde beauty they were known in school as the killer "B's" (killer looks and blonde). For them to both still be single would shock anyone who knew them.
As Angela awoke from her slumber to the image of Jennifer had her wondering why? Why after all this time would Jennifer come to mind? Could it be the trip back home that spurred her image? Every night up until her departure day Jennifer's image would invade Angela's dream space. With each passing night, the image became more intense and thus more real than the night before. So real that Angela would feel Jennifer's touch. Angela felt Jennifer's soft finger tracing her lips as Jennifer gazed into her deep green eyes.
Angela was captivated by the image of Jennifer in her dreams. At no time during their years back home had they ever been intimate with each other. Angela did not feel that way about Jennifer, yet she did not know how Jennifer felt but knew that if she did have any feelings towards her, she never acted upon them.
With each passing night, Angela would awake to a racing heart and heavy breathing. Each night Jennifer's presence would grow stronger.
The night before her trip to New York, Angela, deep in sleep, envisioned Jennifer's body pressing against hers, Jennifer's hands grasping her waist as their eyes were just inches apart. Their breasts clad in silky blouses and supported by lace bras pressed against each other as Angela could feel her nipples stiffen. Fully asleep, Angela's hands caressed her breasts over the satin fabric of her nightgown with the image of Jennifer at the forefront of her mind. Her breathing gets deeper as she runs her fingers over her stiffening nipples feeling the soft and silky fabric of her night gown rub against her ever so sensitive nipples. Pressing her index and middle fingers together on each nipple Angela's back arched and a moan of pleasure escaped her lips. She continued stroking her sensitive nipples as her breathing grew deeper and the moans became more frequent, all with the image of Jennifer pressing against her.
A gasp escaped her lips followed by a loud moan and Jennifer's name..."Ohhh Jennifer"
When Angela heard her say Jennifer's name she awoke from this very intense dream of seduction. Angela had never felt such intensity or been aroused to the extent she was during this very real dream.
Startled, Angela attempted to control her intense breathing, regaining her composure but images of Jennifer continued to race through her head. "What is going on with me?" she whispers to herself. Sitting up and turning on the light with her head spinning, Angela looks down and notices a wet spot on the bed. Immediately she brings her right hand between her legs and discovers her panties are drenched. Wondering aloud again..."What is going on with me?"
Angela continues to contemplate Jennifer and her presence in her dreams yet answers escaped her. The images tormented her as her body continued to betray her. She thought to herself..."I don't do this!" Yet, overwhelmed with arousal, as she leans against the headboard of her bed and her right hand still on her wet panties, her fingers begin to stroke the wet fabric.
