As a butterfly flits its wings hither, a hurricane happens thither, and there was no way to predict that the happenstance of an accidental nudge on the street precipitated this moment of bliss. Lilly walked down the busy Houston, Texas sidewalk, looking down at the brochure she just acquired from her recent interview at the Jonah Kyle Institute for International Studies.
Ironically, it was a butterfly that had fluttered erratically in front of Lilly, distracting her as she walked down the sidewalk in front of Olde Tyme Book Emporium. A girl with lustrous black hair was backing away from the southwestern motif of the exterior of the bookstore, clicking away at her camera, just enough so that a small nudge was inevitable. The girl's camera accessories tumbled to the ground, including three lens protectors, a lens cap, and a small vintage camera case with an interesting golden trim.
Lilly exclaimed her surprise, and tried to apologize, but the girl was gracious. She even smiled, with a maturity years beyond her gorgeous, feminine persona. And a stunning, melodious Bolivian accent. "Relax, you're fine. No need to apologize. Here, you have some lint in your hair." The girl removed the lint from Lilly's trusses.
"Thanks. I'm sorry for your camera items, they don't look damaged." Lilly reached down to pick them up, but her gaze into the girl's eyes were unwavering. The girl knelt, they picked up her camera items, the girl smiling at her the whole time.
"I'm Felicita. Felicita del Buena Vista." Shaking Lilly's delicate hand, her boyish smile charmed Lilly instantly, along with nipples happily pressed against her New York Yankees shirt, draped by a light. Definitely a professional photographer from abroad, Felicita had an unusual scholarly ambiance about her. And definitely an unstated sexuality.
"Felicity, I'm Lilly. Very happy to meet you." Smiling back, she flushed inside. The attraction was obvious. Never one to be flummoxed by attractive women, Felicita leaned over and half-whispered into her ear. "Fel-i-ci-TA. With an "a" on the end, not a "y." Impulsively she kissed Lilly's cheek, lingering over her wonderful scent. After a sensuous breath, she turned to walk away, then turned back.
"Lilly, would you like a coffee?" Lilly's heart jumped. Her nipples tightened slightly, ever so slightly, as her libido churned briefly. The chemistry was so inherent, so lustrous. Inadvertently she garbled a word, recovered. "Yes, oh my yes I would!"
It was a whirlwind attraction. Over coffee, they exchanged pleasant but banal conversation, the content insignificant, the delivery unforgettable. Lilly felt a sensual awareness with Felicita that she rarely felt with other women, whom were either too snobby or too narcissistic. Relaxation and understated intelligence were just as powerful to attraction as physical beauty, particularly with simmering exuberance that Lilly found a joy to be around. Initial blushes turned into relaxed smiles; heartbeats normalized, then quickened with anticipation.
