I don't always have any such thoughts of being with another woman but when I do it's like an inferno going off inside of me. Today just might just be a new lustful thermometer one reads about in fiction...but this one was real. As I was staring out of my window Sara walking up the steps to my home, she is my morning study partner in Homeopathy. I still hadn't brushed up on any of that week's homework and thought maybe Sara could catch me up on it.
As she rang the doorbell, I rushed down the stairs to greet my new visitor.
"Hi Sara, come on in" I said with a grin from cheek to cheek as she walked in the front door and walked through the passageway.
"Oh my god...what a wonderful home you have" Sara said complementing me on my choice of house.
"I'm Rachel by the way" I said as we walked on through and into the kitchen area.
"What can I get you Sara?" I asked her but heard no response from her.
As I looked around at her I saw her standing there at the kitchen window staring out of it with the wildest and most innocence of wonderment. Sara was lost in the view and mesmerised by the reality of the most beautiful outdoor area she had ever laid eyes on the fresh greenery meandering over a yellow brick pathway that led down to the most gorgeous swimming pool of rock and a waterfall that gently wetted the rocky outer skirts of a swimming pool one could only dream of.
"Oh my god" Sara finally said eventually able to muster a word.
"I have never seen such a..." She continued to say until I interrupted her.
"Such a beautiful day it would be a crime not to be out there enjoying and studying our notes together with a splash of iced strawberry and lime to boot? I said passing her a glass as our fingers gently met and our eyes locked on to each other's for the first time.
Sara took the glass and sipped on it as she turned again her eyes gazing at the wonder of paradise outside. Sipping on my own glass I joined her standing there in the enchantment, seeing this through Sara's eyes was wonderful. I needed the glimpse of such innocence and wonder...I needed this presence and openness more than I ever thought possible. We both stood there for a touch longer than I normally would with a visitor without even saying a word. With the sudden ease I felt and shared of us just standing there saying nothing meant there was no need for any small talk between us as we slowly sipped on our drinks and looked over the whole yard but especially the mesmerising rock pool below. Sara's eyes were hazel in colour and her cheeks were full of softness that only a woman as myself could notice as from one woman to another could appreciate the wondrous female standing only two feet away from me. Somehow, for some strange reason I could see myself in her. She brought me back, back to a time when all this was new.
"How about we dangle our legs in the pool it just may help us concentrate a tad or two?" I said turning and smiled at her soothingly.
Right then I saw a new fresh look in her eyes, cheeks and lips as she involuntarily swallowed at being taken aback by my soft generosity and unabashed forwardness only a woman could trace. Sitting as we did by the idyllic and soft felt splash of a palm-shaded pool area I was so blessed and touched that I could share this moment with her. A young twenties woman that sat only inches away from me I couldn't believe just how close we sat there, we were literally touching as we took in the splash and spray. I have never been this close to another woman let alone one that was so attractive and inviting as she gently grinned at the view that we undoubtedly shared. It was clear that I was in another world and that she was in another world as together we even breathed in together. I turned to her, but she had already turned slightly and was smiling at me with a new look, a look of something only I understood.
