I awoke early, just as the sun was rising. I'd been awake for hours, but lay there for as long as I possibly could. My husband was fast asleep so unaware of the interrupted sleep that I had endured. I was nervous, I was starting my new job this morning. For 14 months I had been a devoted mother, and tried to be a good wife. Now I was back on the career ladder, and nervously looking forward to it. Secretly I'd craved to get back to the outside world for a long time. I thought I'd enjoy being at home with the baby and having more time for Zak, but things hadn't quite gone to plan.
The marriage was now in turmoil, some days hardly a word was said between us. Gone were the days of a romantic night in or out. I had given up on the sex issue with him. Constantly I tried to ignite what we once had but was always rejected. So I just carried on caring for the baby and doing wifely duties around the house. Zak had no intentions of getting up to see me off on my first day. The nanny arrived to attend to Ben. For the first time in months I felt like I was going to be someone else, not just a wife and mother.
I arrived at work on time and was greeted by Lucy. She and I instantly hit it off, and had many things in common. From day one we became firm friends. It wasn't long before we were entrusting each other with personal details about our families and ourselves. Lucy was in a similar kind of situation as me, but she was stronger, more passionate, more secure. As time went on we went out together for the odd drink, or for a meal and occasionally saw a film at the local cinema.
Lucy's husband was away for a few days so she invited me for dinner. Even though we weren't going out I kind of dressed up and took along a couple of bottles of wine. We planned it would probably be a late night so I agreed to stay at Lucy's. As soon as I turned up, Lucy complimented me on my outfit. We drank nearly a bottle of wine before dinner, and had got to the girly giggly stage. Still laughing after dinner we settled on the sofa to watch a film. We sat close together sipping wine, talking in between the dull parts. The conversations that took place drifted from bitching about others to our own lives, past lovers, insecurities, sex, the usual things that girls talk about.
I missed this closeness so much. I was having such a good time. Both of us had now talked, cried and laughed. The wine had all gone and we both felt like we'd had way too much. I went to freshen up before going to bed, but as I got up from the sofa I fell back and landed on Lucy. My elbow had hit the side of her face and nearly got her eye. As I went to brush Lucy's hair away from her eye, she held my hand, not wanting to let it go. She stared at me intensely, and slowly moved forward.
Lucy's lips softly touched mine. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth slightly. We both felt the heat of our breath on each other's lips. Slowly our tongues met, the movement was so soft and sensual. A moment of doubt entered my thoughts, should I be doing this, is it wrong for us to do this? I pulled away. Never have I had these feelings for a woman, never in a million years would I ever of thought I could be attracted to a woman. Although the idea doesn't disgust me, it just isn't normal, is it?
I apologised to Lucy, I blamed the drink, what else could I do. I was confused; I didn't want to tell her that we shouldn't have kissed because in all fairness I did enjoy it. I was afraid that our friendship would be affected and told Lucy that we should talk tomorrow. I decided not to stay with her, and so I called for a taxi to drive me home. I felt awful leaving her there, but I didn't know what else I could do or say.
