Jocelyn Carson pushed the bronze-framed double glass doors at the entrance to the conference center of Jenner University, where she had been attending for the past three years. She pursed her lips as she made her way to the school of business faculty-student mixer, in a well-appointed spacious room just down the main corridor. It was a gorgeous meeting space, but Jocelyn silently criticized the obvious expense of building it.
Could have updated most of the old classrooms with the money you idiots wasted on this place
, she thought.
She smoothed out her perfectly tailored black business suit, knowing how it hugged her slim form and accentuated her beauty without making it the proverbial main attraction. The one thing Jocelyn didn't like about that particular outfit is that the jacket was a bit too tight for her ample breasts -- not that she minded, it did tend to draw the eyes of others, which made her feel sexy. Mentally she corrected herself as she watched the eyes of several professors drift her way, making her frown. Being a gold star lesbian, the only eyes Joeclyn wanted gazing on her would be those of other women. She had never felt drawn to men and never would be. Girls were softer, sexier, smelled better and tasted heavenly, like nothing else on earth.
As she maneuvered her way around the room, Jocelyn searched for a friendly face in the sea of people scattered throughout the room. Her roommate Paula had sworn up and down she would be there to keep her company, but the slim redhead was nowhere to be seen. Jocelyn frowned. As an outgoing woman, she loved get-togethers like this, but it felt stuffy and unremarkable.
Or just fucking boring
, she said to herself.
Jocelyn ran her long fingers through her wavy chestnut brown hair, finding a small tangle and freeing it up. Sighing and thinking the whole trip was time in her life she would never get back, she turned towards the door, fully intent on marching out of the room immediately. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a hand waving, so she turned to see who was trying to get her attention.
Expecting it to be someone she did not want to talk to, Jocelyn simply turned her head, planning to nod as she made a beeline for the exit which lay across twenty feet of Brazilian cherry wood flooring. Her eyes widened in surprise when she discovered it was Cheyenne Anders, a gorgeous bottle blonde that was a good friend that she hung out with a lot with. Involuntarily, she felt her lips breaking into a broad smile that showed her perfectly straight white teeth that often got tons of compliments. Most of them she chose to ignore, since they came from guys with one thing on their minds, which was pointless due to the fact that she had no interest whatsoever.
Cheyenne wasn't nearly as outgoing as Jocelyn, but with friends she felt comfortable expressing herself much more openly. Her black heels made a distinct noise as she scurried over and threw her arms around her friend, pulling her into a tight embrace. Jocelyn took a sharp intake of breath, partly due to the girl crashing into her, but mostly because of the warm sensation of her body, breasts pressing together and the sensation of breath at her ear. Cheyenne was not quite as curvy as her friend but had a generous figure nonetheless.
The lighter haired girl released her friend and then took a step back to a respectable distance, knowing Jocelyn was into girls and not wanting to seem like a tease. "I was afraid I was left alone with all of these creepy guys," she said with a twinkle in her eyes.
Jocelyn looked into the girl's piercing green eyes but tried not to stare into them too long and make her uncomfortable. "Fear not, I will protect you. Could always pretend we are a couple."
Cheyenne frowned. "Nice try, not ever gonna happen. 'A' for creativity though, I will give you that," she said, clearly not offended.
Jocelyn smiled and winked playfully at her. "Well, there is a
lot
of psychology research out there that pretty much concludes that sexuality is a spectrum, and pretty flexible for women. Soooooo basically most women have an innate sexual attraction to other women."
Cheyenne laughed out loud, drawing annoyed glances from a group of well-dressed women with gray hair, making her cheeks go pink from embarrassment. Once she regained her composure, she leaned in and whispered, "Cute, but not true. I love men, no attraction to women at all. Thanks but no thanks."
"A girl's gotta try, right? Just kidding!" Jocelyn lied, trying not to creep out the other girl.
"Probably true, I should cut you some slack I guess. Have any good classes this semester?"
Jocelyn thought for a moment, wondering if she should respond with something factual or more personal. She let her eyes graze the slight amount of cleavage peeking out of the other girl's conservative black dress, wondering once again how they might feel to touch and caress, but knowing how impossible that prospect would ever be. A straight girl would never knowingly let a lesbian touch her sexually, or at all, for that matter. Female doctors were lucky because their touch, although clinical, was almost unconditionally accepted as appropriate.
At that moment a flurry of possibilities flooded Jocelyn's conscious mind, wondering if there was any legitimate way to have unfettered access to her straight friend's body without it raising any alarms. After a split-second, the thought of massage therapy popped into her head, since she was already studying to get her license, enabling her to have a side job. Yes, that could work, especially if Cheyenne thought it was somehow a favor for a friend.
Jocelyn cleared her throat and smiled slightly. "Well my business classes have been pretty challenging, but my massage therapy classes have been the absolute best. A few more practice sessions and I will get my license!" she blurted out all at once.
Cheyenne's eyebrow went up in response to the statement, though it did not surprise her. She knew full well that Jocelyn had been following that path, but had assumed she was finished already. "Oh wow, really?" she asked.
Jocelyn smiled knowingly and nodded. "Yes, just been a little hard getting volunteers with finals right around the corner. Oh well, it can wait a few weeks I guess," she said, her voice trailing off, tinged with feigned disappointment.
"Seriously? Doesn't seem like a big commitment for something that important," Cheyenne said, clearly annoyed.
