Chapter 1
Brooke sat in the small coffee shop flipping through the classifieds looking for a somewhat appealing ad. She had just moved here a week ago and still had no leads on a place to live. She certainly couldn't afford living in a hotel for much longer. At 23, and fresh out of college, she had never lived alone and certainly couldn't afford a place on her own yet. "Roommate wanted, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, w/ pull out couch, seriously?" she mumbled to herself. She didn't think finding a place would be so hard. Or maybe you're just too picky she thought to herself.
"Excuse me?" a female voice said.
Brooke looked up and was suddenly at a loss for words. She was staring at, easily, the most gorgeous woman she'd ever seen. The girl was wearing a short jean skirt that showed off incredibly long, tan legs and a very pretty top that wasn't tight but hinted at a very nice chest. She had long blonde hair that fell in perfect waves to her breasts and made it look like she just left the hair salon. As Brooke stared into her striking green eyes she had to mentally shake herself back to reality.
"Yes?" she replied with a smile, trying to sound casual and not embarrass herself.
"Do you mind if I share this table with you?" she asked. "It's really busy in here this morning."
Brooke looked around and was surprised to see how busy it had gotten in the short time she had been sitting there. She noticed several men staring at the gorgeous blonde that was standing in front of her.
"No, not at all," Brooke replied in a friendly tone.
As the blonde sat down with her coffee, she reached out and extended her hand, "I'm Kelly James," she said with a smile that gave Brooke butterflies.
"Brooke Taylor, nice to meet you," Brooke replied and took her hand.
As soon as their hands touched Brooke felt a jolt of electricity run through her body. "Get a grip, Brooke," she thought to herself. Her feelings were both strange and confusing since she had never been attracted to a woman before. She figured it was just excitement at the thought of making a new friend.

Kelly stared at the pretty brunette sitting in front of her and smiled as they pulled their hands away. She was very aware of the tingling she felt in her body when their hands touched and wondered if the brunette felt it too.
The girl sitting across from her was absolutely stunning. She had long dark brown hair which looked incredibly soft; Kelly had the sudden urge to run her fingers through it. Kelly had also immediately noticed the girls clear blue eyes which were hypnotizing as they looked at her.
"Brooke, what a beautiful name," she replied.
"Thanks, so is Kelly," Brooke replied with a bright smile that revealed straight white teeth.
"I didn't mean to interrupt," Kelly said looking at the paper Brooke was reading and the pen in her hand.
"Actually, I wasn't making much progress," Brooke answered with a slight frown.
Kelly could see she was looking at the classifieds as Brooke told her she was looking for a place to live.
"I just moved here about a week ago for a new job and haven't been able to find a decent place yet. I honestly didn't think it would be so hard," Brooke said with a slight laugh. "I just don't want to settle for a place or roommate I don't really like."
"I know what you mean, the last thing you want is someone you don't get along with, or someone who is a total slob," Kelly answered.
She asked Brooke about her new job and where she was from. Brooke told her she had just graduated business school and got a job at a big investment firm downtown. She also learned that Brooke was from a smaller town and was glad to be able to move to a place that was warm and sunny for more than a few months a year. As they talked, Kelly couldn't keep the smile off her face. There was just something about this girl that drew her in. She even found herself lost for words a few times as she stared into Brooke's sparkling blue eyes.

"Earth to Kelly," Brooke said with a giggle.
She had just asked Kelly where she worked and Kelly was looking at her with an odd expression on her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I was day dreaming there," Kelly responded laughing at herself. "I work at an art gallery downtown," she answered.
Brooke was about to say something when Kelly cut her off. "You know, I just remembered that there is a unit in my building for rent right now. It might not be what you're looking for but it has a great view and it's in a great area."
Brooke couldn't contain her excitement and responded, "That is the best lead I've had all week! Do you have a number I could call for an appointment?" she asked, very anxious to go over and check the place out.
"Why don't we just exchange numbers and you can come by later on today?" Kelly asked.
"Kelly that would be great, you're a life saver," Brooke answered with an ear to ear smile.
They exchanged numbers and Kelly told Brooke she would call her later to come by. As they both stood to get up, Brooke noticed Kelly was about the same height as her at about 5'6.
"Kelly, thank you so much, I really owe you," Brooke said with genuine gratitude.
Brooke could feel Kelly staring at her body as she stood up. She was wearing very short shorts and a tank top and while she knew she had a nice body, thanks to her regular workout routine, she couldn't help but feel self conscious compared to Kelly. She suddenly noticed Kelly's nipples poking through her tank top and she blushed and tried to look away.
"Don't thank me yet, you haven't seen the place," Kelly winked.
Brooke smiled and then Kelly leaned in and hugged her. Brooke was suddenly very aware of her body as she felt Kelly's breasts touch hers. She could feel the blonde's hard nipple poking into her and she shivered at the contact. Kelly's skin felt incredibly smooth and soft and Brooke felt her pussy swell. She really didn't want to let go. This is ridiculous; she thought to herself. You're not attracted to women. But as she left she couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing Kelly again.
