Oh Heels Pt. 09
A Year in Paradise
A month after we returned from our holiday in Mallorca, Suzy and I celebrated a year since our first meeting. It had been, without any doubt, the best year of my life. It had started out as a tentative experiment with lesbianism, but it had turned out to be completely life-changing. Before I met Suzy, I had merely wondered whether I would enjoy lesbian sex, or not. It had never occurred to me that it might lead to a full blown, starry-eyed, aching heart and shiver-at-the-sight-of-her love affair, but it did.
As if that wasn't amazing enough, Suzy had exactly the same experience, and the same feelings (we had talked about it endlessly). To me, this was a much bigger stroke of luck than winning millions on the National Lottery. It had altered my life and my frame of mind in ways that money never could. Money is purely earthly and grubby. What Suzy and I were experiencing was spiritual. It was a kind of epiphany. Nothing could ever be the same again, and I was 100% sure that I would give up absolutely anything else in my life before I would give up Suzy.
Our week in Mallorca was probably the very best anniversary present that we could ever have given each other, but we had to decide how we were going to celebrate on the actual day, which was August 21st - a Sunday.
When we returned from Mallorca we began to talk about what we were going to do for our 'anniversary', and how we could make it 'special'. To be honest, sexually, almost all our encounters are special, so it was difficult to know how our anniversary sex could be made to stand out. Of course, we could just go out for a very special meal and let the sex be incidental, but we both wanted the one year milestone to be memorable.
We decided to start by revisiting some places from our early days, like the coffee shop where we first met, and the restaurant near my house where I took her out for a meal after our first experiment with watersports which, although we found it an exciting experience, we have not repeated.
We made a weekend of it, starting by meeting at the coffee shop on the Friday afternoon, just as we had that first time, then we went back to Suzy's for the night.
The coffee shop was an interesting experience; we were now so familiar with each other that it seemed strange, though pleasurable, to remember that first encounter. Just a year ago, but a world away. We talked about our first impressions of each other, and the heady excitement of realising how immediately attracted we had been. It was fun to remember.
The night at Suzy's was lovely. We both had happy memories of the first time I had been there, but we didn't have sex. We wanted to 'save it' for our actual anniversary on Sunday, but it wasn't easy! We went to bed and just spent time kissing and cuddling, trying to keep a lid on any sexual arousal, until we fell into a happy sleep.
On Saturday, we went into Suzy's local town to do some girly shopping. Well, when I say town, I mean the city centre. We met up with a friend of Suzy's from work, she was a Swedish ex model turned costume designer called Anna-Lise, but apparently known to everyone simply as Annie. Suzy had said she was beautiful but 'as straight as a die', so there were no threesomes expected. She was certainly beautiful, and tall. Taller than me, so she must have been close to 6ft, and slim, bordering on skinny, though not by any means flat-chested. Her face was classically beautiful - heart shaped with high cheekbones - and her hair was long, naturally blonde - well, fair anyway - and straight. I guessed her age at late 30s, but Suzy said 'Nope, she's nearly 45'. Well, she'd certainly aged well.
She was good fun, with an irreverent sense of humour and a razor-sharp wit (which was probably why Suzy got along with her) and her English was perfect, even down to obscure idioms and subtleties of English humour. She'd been in the UK for 25 years, so not much escaped her.
We had a great afternoon with 'Annie', with lots of girly clothes shopping. Not usually my thing really but this was enjoyable. The company obviously helped.
In the clothes shops, she gave us the benefit of her long experience and 'fashion-sense', some of which I thought was bonkers. Me being me, I told her so and, to my surprise, she let out a loud hoot of laughter and said 'Well, it's important to have your own sense of style Lissy.' Indeed.
I did buy some outerwear but, to be honest, I was intent on adding to my lingerie collection, as was Suzy. Although we are lesbians we are both very femme, and see no reason not to look glamorous. We love to dress up in sexy underwear, and I do find it a tremendous turn-on, both wearing it and seeing other women in it.
Contrary to what some people think, women don't dress themselves sexily just to please men. It's a part of our femininity, our sexuality. I love to dress provocatively because of the way it makes me feel; gorgeous and sexy. It's definitely a kind of superpower. Many women seem to go to great lengths to cover their sexuality, as if having a great body is something to hide, but not me nor, thankfully, Suzy either. We embrace it, enjoy it, revel in its power. I find it quite intoxicating.
To be fair to Annie, straight or not, she joined in with we two lesbians in the appreciative appraisal of various items of sexy underwear, and actually pointed out a very sexy corset, which was almost 'underbust' but included fishnet bra cups which left nothing to the imagination
