Jess missed Canada. She bit into one of her soft chocolate brownies and opened up a new window in her web browser. She looked at the pile of scientific journals on her desk and the pile on her window sill and the pile on her bed. She looked at the bag of her ex boyfriends clothes. She was wearing his pants - she'd let the washing pile up whilst she'd been working on her essays - it was all she had left.
She heard the door to the flat open and bounded to her own door. She opened it and saw her roommate Kate's best friend Siobhan letting herself into the flat. Jess still didn't know how she'd got hold of a key but didn't mind. Siobhan was cute and fun and at least she wasn't another asshole boy.
"Hi," Jess said.
"Hi," Siobhan replied. She was wearing a slinky black dress and what she'd heard Kate refer to as fuck-me-boots. All dressed up for a night on the town. Jess felt jealous. "Just popping in."
"Okay," Jess said and ducked back into her room.
She looked at the piled up books and bit into her brownie. Jess slumped into her chair and closed her browser, saving the pages for tomorrow. It was late and everything was getting blurry. If she kept on staring at screens in the dark she'd really need those glasses she wore to look more smart.
She put a Cowboy Bebop DVD on and pressed play. She wished she could have a killer body like Faye did in that show.
"You're jealous of a cartoon," she sighed. She really was fed up.
A minute or two later and suddenly loud music started playing in Kate's room. She sighed, the speakers on her laptop just couldn't compensate.
She padded out of her room, down the short corridor and knocked on Kate's door.
"Who is it?" Kate called. She sounded... weird.
"Could you turn the music down? Some of us are trying to study." Jess lied. She didn't want her friend to think she'd given up for the evening when they were both working so hard recently.
"Sure," Kate said as Jess opened her door just enough to peer through. Kate sounded short of breath.
"Are you okay?" Jess said.
"Yes. Just trying to let off some steam." Kate was sitting tight against her desk. She looked hot and flustered - was she coming down with something? Maybe she was working too hard. She must have turned down a night out with Siobhan, her friend must have slipped out under cover of music.
"Okay," Jess smiled sympathetically, "Just keep it down."
She padded back to her room.
"I know what she needs," Jess said to herself, grabbing the tupperware box of chocolate brownies. They always made her feel better.
She was about to knock on Kate's door when she heard her friend moaning breathlessly... and... and spanking? Was that someone's else voice? Two voices moaning. Another girl. Siobhan?
Oh god. Her flatmate was a lesbian. But she had a boyfriend right? Maybe she was bi. Oh god, all those times she'd run back from the shower from her room to grab some shampoo with her towel only half draped across her - had Kate ever seen?
Jess gasped. The thought of those two young nubile women making love, rubbing against each other, kissing, licking...
Jess had put a hand to her pussy without realising it. She was wet and rubbing her clit.
She leant back against the radiator, the tupperware slipping onto the floor, spilling its contents.
"Fuck," she cursed and scrambled back to her room flushed with embarassment.
She leant against the door, panting heavily. She locked it and threw herself onto her bed.
Her dad had been happy that his daughter was studying science. Her mom had been happy that she would be studying in England where kids "just didn't do all that... stuff you see in movies"
Turns out she was wrong.
She'd never had a lesbian experience before. Well, not one that counted.
Her ex boyfriend had watched a lot of porn. He seemed to be using his university internet to watch as much porn as he could instead of studying and when Jess had caught him using her computer whilst she slept - that had been the end of it.
They'd argued and he'd left. She'd sat down and the porn had still been playing on her laptop. It was a video of two girls tribbing.
Jess had found the video erotic, the girls certainly seemed to be having a far better time than Jess had ever had with her ex.
She had watched it to see what the fuss was about. She'd made herself cum five times before it was over. But that wasn't a lesbian experience - right? Just a way of coping.
There was a knock on her door.
"Oh god," She groaned.
