I will never forget the Sunday morning that I discovered my roommates were lesbian. I was sleeping in late. It was a rare privilege for me on Sunday mornings. I work two jobs you see. One of them is a nine-to-five in an office, but on the weekends I am respite care for a family whose mother has Alzheimer's. It makes for a full schedule even when you are barely twenty. But I hope that it will allow me to return to university in a year or two without accumulating a great deal of student loan debt.
So usually, I do not get in on Sunday until much later. But the night before my patient had been taken to the hospital with a fever. After staying in the Accident & Emergency with her family until after one in the morning, I was looking forward to being able to sleep until noon...at least.
But looking over at the clock, I notice that it is barely seven. I was awoken by the creaking of a bed above me and loud feminine moans. Now I live with two other girls, but we have always been very respectful of one another. I could only remember once when one of them had an overnight guest, but they were much quieter than this.
As for me, I had only the cold metal companionship of my pocket rocket under my pillow to provide relief. I was simply too busy for a relationship. I was the child of divorce and had watched my mother indulge in casual sex, so that held no appeal for me.
