I suppose that you could call what happened a 'Lesbian' experience; although I haven't really been drawn to women before or since, except for this woman of course! The action took place a few years ago when we had a severe and sudden snow storm that left people trapped in cars on motorways for twenty four hours and in outlying towns.
I'm an administrator for a large firm in the south-east. I'm 23 pushing 24, shortish, quite slim (thanks to my favourite sports) with small boobs, at least I think so anyway. I shared a flat with a girlfriend, platonically I might add, and had been totally hetro with a long term relationship plus a few short ones in my past.
I had just come to the end of a short one; he was a lot older than me, divorced and had done the whole family thing and really didn't want to do it again. With hindsight he was right to break up before we got to serious. It was far to late for me as I was crazy about him already.
One of our Directors, Danni, was going on a day trip to visit a supplier of some new software and hardware we were seriously thinking of investing in and as the lead admin girl on that job I went with her.
I'd never really liked her that was the strangest thing of all; she was one of the new style of woman manager, you know; MBA, single large income late thirties/early forties, with that 'I'm better than you because I'm a woman that unlike you has had to fight through all of the old boys network to get somewhere'. Our kind of organisation was full of them.
We drove to the company in Suffolk in her car, which was of course very upmarket and sporty. On the outward journey the talk was of the software and equipment and how we should handle the discussion -- basically I wasn't allowed to say anything. I confess to falling asleep after a while because we'd had to leave at six.
The meeting went well and we made an order. They treated us to lunch and a tour of the plant and we left them loaded down with complimentary calendars, diaries, mouse mats, mugs and all that kind of thing.
The journey back was not looking good as the weather had closed in. Danni said that we would keep at it and try and beat the storm. We listened to the radio and the ever worsening reports of snow, blocked motorways and stranded drivers.
After a while we started to chat about things in general, and I found out that she had started not quite at the bottom but had still had a fight to get where she was. She asked me how things were as it had been obvious that I was unhappy after the recent break-up. I said that I thought I'd found the right one this time but... and all of that stuff.
I thought she would sniff through her nose and give me the supercilious older woman look. But she didn't,
"Don't worry Emma," she said, "There's no rush."
She went on to give me a description of disastrous relationships she'd been in and how you always come through it a better stronger person. I confessed that I'd taken this one really badly and it had done my confidence no good at all.
"Why?" she said incredulously.
I said that I had no boobs to speak of and that I was still very young and that all the nice guys were married.
"What!" she laughed, "Don't you realise how many of the guys drool over you?"
I said that I didn't, admittedly a few of the older ones would letch occasionally but I didn't think I made that much of an impact.
"Em," she grinned, "The entire male population of the projects department call you 'the body'. The females are all jealous as hell! Except for Carolyn of course..."
Carolyn was a very tall and slender planner who made no secret of her Lesbianism,
"She thinks you're, and I quote, 'fuckin' gorgeous'. Haven't you noticed?"
I said I never had, whenever I went through 'projects' I always had my nose in the piles of mail I was delivering.
The traffic ground to a halt and a policeman on a motorcycle was cruising the wrong way up the hard shoulder with all of his lights flashing. He stopped and spoke to each driver, advising him or her that the motorway was impassable until the snowploughs arrived. We could wait in the car or turn back.
"Sod sitting in the car," Danni grinned and turned the car through the already mounting snow. The motorcyclist saw us through a break in the crash barrier and back to the junction where traffic was already being diverted. We drove back down to a local town and stopped at the out of town shopping centre and had a meal and drank coffee in the supermarket restaurant. The AA man on the table next to us said that we should try to find somewhere to stay as it was snow with a forecast of more snow to come and we were well and truly on the wrong side of it.
"Shit," said Danni. She grinned, "I wonder?" She took out her mobile and dialled a preset number. "Hi Steve, are you at the cottage? Oh, well, I'm stuck and can't get past the snow on the Motorway, can I hang out at yours until it clears, possibly sleep over if I have to? Brilliant, I'll put something extra in your stocking next time."
Steve it turned out was her brother who owned a small cottage about thirty odd miles back the way we came. Danni bought some milk, bread and eggs, and we headed off down some very small lanes that were filling with snow.
At last we arrived at his cottage, it was a tiny two-up, two-down labourers cottage and Danni swung her car onto its drive expertly. We climbed out into foot deep snow. My shoes were meant for a business meeting not for the country and my feet were freezing almost straight away, my light jacket wasn't doing a lot to keep out the cold either.
Danni struck out along the side of the house and I thought to the back door. Instead with the light of a torch she was running down the garden. She fumbled under a statue of a nymph or something and returned with a key. This it turned out opened the shed. In the shed was paint tin that she opened with a screwdriver and pulled another key. This opened the back door and we were soon in the kitchen.
I stood shivering while Danni pressed a few buttons on the boiler and turned on the lights.
"Steve works in the city and stays with his girlfriend during the week, they only come out here at the weekend." She filled a kettle and made coffee.
We walked into the living room and she switched on the TV and the gas fire. Next she slipped off her shoes and took off her trousers!
I looked down at mine, which were also damp almost to my knee.
"Let's get them dry," she said holding out her hand.
"I'm fine really," I said with my teeth chattering.
"Don't be daft," she grinned, "Come on over here by the fire,"
