My name is Anna Cartwright, I am 24 years old, I have long blonde hair, I weigh 51 kilos, I am 5 foot 9 inhes tall and my measurements are 36/23/35. I have been told I am what every man dreams about, the trouble is I don't fancy men, I definitely prefer women.
I have been out and still go out with men and am no longer a virgin, but sex with a man does nothing for me. I much prefer sex with females. I discovered this when I was at university doing my veterinary degree. I do like men's company though, but when it comes to the physical side of a relationship, it has to be with a female, so as you can no doubt surmise I don't have a boyfriend. Nobody in my family is aware of my preferences,as far as I know, I have kept it secret from them.
I still live with my parents, who run APC riding stables in Yorkshire. We live in a detached property on the edge of a town called Albridgeton, The stables and riding centre are directly opposite our home, and back onto four open grassland fields, which we rent off a local farmer. I don't work in the centre, I work in the local veterinary practice in the town centre, who look after the families horses.
My 26 year old sister Dawn, is also back in the family home, after a very messy divorce, which she doesn't talk about. None of the family know why the marriage broke up, her husband Dave has since moved from the area. She works for an accountancy firm also in the town centre. Like me, she has long blonde hair and is about the same measurements, but she is a tiny thing like my mom, only just 5ft.
Mum and dad look after the business side of things and still enjoy taking out the horses, but only when its good weather. They employ 5 people to look after the grooming, keeping the stables clean, tidy and run the riding school.. My sister and I both help out with the riding classes on a weekend, but that is our only involvement. We just take orders from mum, dad and Mark the head of stables.
Since, Dawn has been back, I have been trying to get her to go out on a night for some fun, however she is having none of it. We try to meet for lunch a couple of times a week, but I more often than not, have to cancel due to commitments at the surgery. I still think she is trying to avoid me though, as I always try to get round to asking her questions on the break up. The result is always the same she glares at me and says time for you to go, bye.
If I say I am going out for a drink, or to the cinema, and ask if she fancies coming along, the answer is always no. But, I always ask just in case she ever decides to surprise me and say yes. When she does go out, she never asks me or tells us where she is going. On the rare occasions, when we both go out on the same night, I have never bumped into her or even seen her, plus she is also very secretive of where she has been, her stock answer is out with friends in Leeds or York.
I suppose I am just as bad as her really, because I still don't want her or my parents to find out about me being a lesbian. Silly I know, but I love my private life to be my private life not theirs. I suppose we are very much alike in that, but I'm just a nosey cow and it looks like she isn't.
Visiting my usual haunts in Leeds was becoming boring, I needed a change, now whether that was because of the lack of type of females I was looking for, or what I don't know but I decided to try having a few weekends away. Not that I'm a cheapskate but the way I did it was look for deals on the Travelodge website. You can always rely on them to be clean, tidy and not far away from the city centre.
My first option was York, I had been there on hen nights out and enjoyed them, but did they have a lesbian scene for me to explore. This is where the internet always lends a helping hand, they point you in the right direction. So with all the info i needed I booked a room for two nights and eagerly awaited Friday afternoon to arrive. I told mum I was off to see a show in Manchester and would be back late Sunday. I got the usual quizzing was I going alone, when I replied yes. I got the also usual quizzical look of disbelief, but mum knew not to pursue it.
Luckily Friday afternoon was a quiet one and we all got away on time. A quick shower and I picked up my already packed weekend bag and I was on my way.
This used to be a bit daunting the going away on your own but after my experiences at University and going around the scene in Leeds it didn't bother me.
What you find is that if someone who is on the same style night as you, sees you are on your own, they make a beeline for you. Sometime it works sometimes it doesn't. Tonight I expected nothing different, I had done my homework and found the hotel closest to the gay bars. Always a good idea, just in case you don't pull, being close to home is a must in a strange place. You always hear the stories of lone women getting bothered late at night, but never think it will happen to you.
I have been fortunate enough never to have experienced it, but I do know a couple of girls that have. With that in mind I don't take chances, I would have plenty of time to check out the walk between the hotel and the bar, whilst looking for somewhere to get a quick meal, or grab a take away.
I arrived at the hotel around 6.30 and as luck would have it, as I pulled up a car left a parking spot right outside of the hotel, result. All booked in and away for something to eat in less than 10 minutes. As I walked out of the hotel I heard someone say Anna, I turned to see my ex roomy from University.
[Me]"Carol, wow long time no see."
[Carol]"Bizarre, I was thinking about you earlier, I said to Jill it would be great if we bumped into you."
[Me]"Jill do I know her."
[Carol]"No but she has heard a lot about you, she is going to love putting a face to the stories."
[Me]"Nothing, bad I hope."
[Carol]"No, only that you was the one that made me think about dating girls instead of useless pricks."
[Me]"What, after all the times I tried to get you in bed, you pick someone else."
[Carol]"Afraid so, I now know what the attraction is. Look are you up here by yourself."
[Me]"Yes."
Thinking I hope this goes where I want it to.
[Carol]"Brilliant, why don't you join us all at DJ's in town, we are here for the wedding hen do, It would be great to catch up."
[Me]"Yes, why not, will they be ok with me just joining you. I was going to call in there later tonight for a drink and check it out."
[Carol]"On the pull are we, no change there then. They won't mind and in any case it won't matter if they do. Its my party and what I say goes."
[Me]"Your getting hitched, congratulations, damn I thought I was in with a chance."
[Carol]"Sorry, I'm all Jills."
