It was an average Tuesday evening. I had gone off to class this morning, then studied a bit at home this afternoon. Now it was just after dark, and I was sitting by the living room window constantly glancing at my phone while I waited for my ride. My mother was nearby in the den picking out a movie for her and my father to watch. He was currently in the kitchen making their popcorn. I had told them earlier today that I was going out tonight, so they decided to plan their own night in.
Even though I still lived at home with my parents, they gave me quite a bit of freedom these days because they trusted me. It was knowing exactly how much faith they had in me that made it harder to keep this secret from them. At the same time, I couldn't possibly tell them about my girlfriend, Dee. They'd be absolutely furious if they found out that I was with a woman, but Dee made me so happy that I almost didn't care what they would think. She and I had been dating for a few months now, and we were getting pretty serious about one another. We saw each other as often as we could; we'd even been intimate before. Meanwhile, my parents didn't even know I was seeing someone.
I couldn't risk telling Mom and Dad because I was worried what they might do if they found out their daughter was a lesbian. At the very least, they'd kick me out of the house. I didn't want to chance it with how expensive renting was in our town. Even getting a dorm at my school was nearly impossible; unless you were from out of town, that is. Dee's hometown was half a state away, so she had a room on campus, which was why I was waiting for her to pick me up. We were going there for some time alone, but my parents thought we were going to go study. She'd be here any minute, so I was diligently watching the road while waiting for a text. I knew that if I ran out the front door as soon as she pulled up, she wouldn't have to ring the doorbell, and Dad couldn't say 'invite your friend inside!' Yes, Dee knew that I couldn't tell my parents about us, but that didn't mean I was okay with introducing her as 'just a friend' either.
I glanced down at my phone, then noticed headlights flash in the window as a car drove past my house. False alarm, I thought. Then my phone vibrated in my hand. It was a text from Dee.
I missed the turn for your driveway. I'm out front.
I smiled to myself as I read it, then stood up and grabbed my jacket. I slipped it on and buttoned it up so my parents didn't notice my low-cut top. It showed more than enough cleavage to get a lecture from my mom, but I wanted to look hot tonight. I even chose the jeans that made me look the best from behind, but with my coat on, no one here should notice. Once I was ready, I picked up my bookbag, then headed for the door. My dad was crossing past it to the den as I got there.
"Leaving honey?" he asked me.
"Yeah. I'll be back in a few hours."
"Okay, honey. Be safe. Love you."
"Love you, too, Dad," I said to him. "Bye, Mom!" I yelled.
I heard her shout goodbye as I walked out the door towards Dee's car. My dad stood in the entryway with a bowl of popcorn watching me leave. I could only assume that he was wondering who was in the car waiting for me. I worried that he might ask Mom if I had a boyfriend or something. My father was over-protective when it came to that sort of thing, but I promised them both a while ago that if I started to date someone, I'd introduce the guy. They shouldn't have a reason to doubt that I was only going out with a friend to study; I even brought my books. Nonetheless, I knew it wouldn't be long before they insisted on meeting my 'friend.' I was set on delaying that as long as possible. I liked Dee a lot, and I didn't want my parents to ruin things.
I didn't look back as I walked across the front lawn to the car, then hopped inside. "Hey, Dee!" I said excitedly as I sat down.
I put my backpack on the floor, then closed the door behind me. I could see that Dee was wearing a tight long-sleeved shirt that showed off her chest. Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and her coat was behind her in the seat. She had baggy jeans on her legs that I knew would hang nicely around her hips when she stood. Dee was dressed so causally, but she still managed to look so sexy. I didn't know how she did it, but it was something I loved about her: she was so effortlessly beautiful. I leaned over to hug her.
"Hey, baby girl. I missed you," she said softly.
"I missed you, too..."
I looked into her eyes as our hug broke and found myself drawn to her lips. They were so soft as I gently pressed mine against them. A second later I felt her tongue glide across my mouth. I sighed softly as I eagerly parted my lips, and her tongue quickly slipped inside. Our tongues twirled in circles for a moment while I got a brief taste of her strawberry lip balm. Then she kissed me even harder, sucking my bottom lip into her mouth which brought a sigh from my throat. I felt her smile before she moved away, and that smile was still on her face as we separated. It left me wanting a lot more, but we couldn't do that here; my dad was probably still standing at the door. I quickly turned and buckled myself in, then Dee started to drive.
"So... we're going to your dorm, right?" I asked her as we reached the end of my street.
"Ugh, no," she sighed. "My no-life roommate is there studying. I tried to get her to go to the library, or the common room, or something, but she's probably still mad about that time."
"Oh... right..."
A few weeks ago, Dee's roommate, Monika, walked in on us while we were in the middle of... a
very
intimate moment. We hadn't expected her to return for a few more hours, but she had dropped in for something she had forgotten. She had seen a lot more of us that she had wanted to, so she'd been giving Dee a hard time since then. She was like my parents and didn't agree with same-sex relationships, but unlike them, she tried to coexist. The real problem was that she also didn't condone pre-marital sex - no matter what kind of couple was doing it. Since Dee had been completely naked when Monika walked in, and I had been halfway there, there was no pretending that we weren't. It had only been our second time fooling around like that, and we hadn't found the time to do it again until tonight. It didn't seem like it was going to happen now, and I couldn't ignore my disappointment.
Regardless, it was nice to just be alone with Dee. We had hardly seen each other lately because we were both busy with school, and she had her part-time job on top of that. Even though I stopped by the school bookstore to see her when I could, it wasn't good enough. She couldn't talk for very long without getting in trouble with her manager, let alone kiss me. There was never enough time after psych class either. I had missed her so much recently; I was glad to be with her again. Wherever we ended up tonight was fine with me as long as we were together.
"Hey..." Dee said, getting my attention.
"Hmm?"
"You cool with just going for a drive? Maybe stopping somewhere for a bit?"
"Sure... sounds good," I smiled.
