Tara had texted me the day after Saskia and I ended our fledgling relationship. As I had joined her on the long list of Saskia's ex-girlfriends, she invited me to join her on a Friday night out. I had accepted, mostly out of curiosity.
What was I curious about? Me!
My sadly brief relationship with the beautiful artist Saskia had been my first lesbian relationship, but it had been fantastic while it had lasted. From the moment we'd met, when I posed for an art class she was enrolled on, there had been a spark between us. Now I wondered if it was just something special about Saskia herself or had she been the key to unlock the door to this other me that had been hidden before?
I'd met Tara a couple of times when I was with Saskia. She was very nice with a sense of humour like my own, but I hadn't felt anything special between us. Now we were going on a night out. Was it an actual date? Tara had been a bit vague when I'd asked her.
"It's a night out to help you get over Saskia; what happens, happens" had been her reply.
I arrived at the pub where we were meeting and scanned the crowd for her. She was at the bar and as I weaved my way through the crowd. She was taller than me, less curvy with short hair that looked almost elfin. As I got closer her blue eyes and pretty face became clearer. She was wearing a snug fittimg strap top and a short skirt, from which her long sun-tanned legs extended. She was very attractive from an objective viewpoint, but I wasn't attracted to her yet.
I joined her at the bar. We exchanged greetings, and launched into small talk, asking about each others days. So far so pleasant, but it was nothing special.
Then the conversation took a twist.
"Saskia told me you're a bit of an exhibitionist," said Tara casually. "She told me how turned on you got posing with your kit off for those pictures."
Cursing Saskia mentally and adding indiscrete to my list of words to describe her, I replied, "Well, yes a bit, but I've never deliberately done anything like that, apart from that one time."
"Why not, if it turns you on?"
"I might get caught!" I blurted the first thing that came into my head.
"It's not fun if it's totally safe!"
"Do you like it too then?"
"Oh my, like doesn't do it justice, Miranda," Tara sighed, "I'm already wet at the thought of what fun we could have!"
Then she reached up under her dress, pulled her knickers down, stepped out of them and casually picked them up from the floor. She handed them to me. At a nearby table two guys nearly choked on their beer at the sight!
"Feel!" she said simply.
I took the bunched up knickers. Intrigued I did feel them; they were still warm and the crotch was rather damp. My tummy somersaulted; maybe this would be a fun evening after all.
"Do you want them back?"
"No, I want yours."
"What?"
"You heard, Miranda, but I'll spell it out for you. I want you to take your panties off here in the middle of this pub. You decide; do you want to have fun or shall I just finish my drink and piss off, leaving you with my panties as a memory of what might have been?"
