It started innocently enough. Shaindel was going to the supermarket near the all-girl seminary she went to, and asked her roommate Zehava if she needed anything.
Zehava looked up from the book she was reading. "Oh, sure, I'll take some soda, sprite to be exact. And if you can get me some soap too, I ran out"
"Any particular brand?" Shaindel asked, grabbing her purse and heading out the door.
"whatever will clean me and smells nice," Zehava answered. "You have to sleep in the same room as me."
Shaindel smiled and went out the door, down the hall to the elevator, and then to the supermarket. She knew that the soap aisle was in the back, so she wandered through the supermarket, checking prices and comparing items. She picked out a soda for herself, a diet Dr. Pepper, and then walked to the soap aisle. There, she found a large selection of shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and soaps, and spent a good fifteen minutes perusing the choices. After reading the ingredient lists on several brands, she chose one for Zehava and one for herself. It was a small bottle, but the ingredients were all natural and it smelled wonderful. She headed for the front of the store and the check-out lines, when she noticed the body lotions. She knew she could use some, so she went over to check out the selection. She picked up a bottle, paid for the items, and headed back to the dorms.
As she stepped into the room, she heard the water running. Zehava called from the bathroom "Shaindel is that you? I need my lifesaving soap!"
"Coming right up" she answered, setting the grocery bag down and taking off her jacket.
"Can you bring it in here please?" Zehava asked.
"Sure, be right there," Shaindel said, going into the bathroom with her eyes closed and setting the bottle carefully next to the shower.
"what, you scared of seeing me naked? We share the same room!" Zehava giggled as she took the bottle. "Thank you so much! You saved me."
"you're welcome. Enjoy the shower," Shaindel said, a little surprised at Zehava's comment. "I'll leave you alone now," she said, turning to go.
"Oh come on, don't be shy," Zehava said, opening the shower door.
Shaindel stood there in shock. Her eyes went wide. "W-what are you doing?" she said.
"I'm showing you my gratitude by inviting you to join me." Zehava answered, opening the door wide enough so Shaindel could see her body. "I also need a bit of help reaching my back"
"Zehava I I ca- what got into you?" Shaindel asked, blushing and backing out toward the door.
"Come on, we are both girls, and it's not like this is the first time you are seeing me undressed" Zehava giggled, and Shaindel was too flustered to do anything but stammer a bit.
I've seen you getting dressed, never entirely naked. And definitely not trying to...I don't know what you're trying honestly". Shaindel stopped at the door and waited for Zehava's response. She was surprised that she hadn't walked out yet, and part of her was ashamed to admit that it was because the sight of Zehava's body made her want to stay. She looked stunning. Her curves were perfectly accented by the water droplets covering her body. Shaindel couldn't stop her eyes from drifting up and down her body.
"Well, I was hoping to wash your back in exchange for you washing mine. I'm not entirely selfish." Zehava smiled, swaying her body seductively, biting her lower lip, her hand caressing her stomach and lower breasts, causing Shaindel to stare at her shapely figure.
Shaindel's eyes snapped back up to Zehava's face. "You're not...are you?" Shaindel asked.
"Lesbian?" asked Zehava. "You can say the word, it's not dirty".
Shaindel was shocked for a moment, then stammered. "Yes'.
Zehava stepped out of the shower and closed the distance between the two. "I'm not sure what I am. I just know that as the year here in seminary has gone on, I've gotted more and more attracted to you. It started when we were in Rabbi Goldschmidt's class together. I loved how smart you were, and how you were always smiling and laughing." Zehava locked the door behind Shaindel and stood in front of her.
"I've gotten obsessed with that smile, and since the Chanuka chagiga I've wanted to just be around you. That's why I asked to be switched into this room with you. I've been dying to spend some time alone with you."
