My place is small, but it is clean and comfortable. It is a duplicate of my next door neighbor’s place; it’s a duplex that I share with a very good friend, Polly. We both lead our own lives, but we have a tendency to share everything in the final analysis. My name is Maxine, and I am cursed with a peaches and cream complexion that I inherited from my mother’s side of the family. Polly, in sharp contrast, is of Negro decent and has a very light brown complexion. She is often mistaken for a Latino or a Polynesian girl.
As I said earlier, Polly and I are the best of friends. When one has a problem, the other has a problem. That takes us to the knock at my front door.
“Hi, Polly,” I said cheerfully, “Enter.” I could tell she hadn’t been awake for long. She was wearing an ex-boyfriend’s oxford shirt that was buttoned only at the center two buttons. Polly had a lot to hide.
“That son-of-a-bitch did it again,” she exclaimed rather heatedly as she pushed past me and into my kitchen.
“Relax, girlfriend,” I said in my best comforting tone. “What did the asshole do this time?”
“You got any coffee?” she asked sharply.
“You know where it is,” I replied. “Now what did Ramon do to get you so pissed off?”
She helped herself to a cup of coffee, and returned to the kitchen table where we had settled half of the world’s problems over the past couple of years. This was comfortable surroundings so she began to settle down somewhat.
“When I woke up this morning to the aggravating sound of the alarm clock I instantly realized that Ramon’s pecker was fully erect and lodged between my legs. It was resting snugly against my pussy, and my kitty was already getting wet. I wiggled against his body just as he was struggling to meet the world head on for the day. When he saw the time, he immediately quickly turned to the open side of the bed and dropped his feet to the floor. Naturally, he yanked his joy stick away from its resting place and me without even a good morning.”
“Poor baby,” I consoled.
“He dashed off for the shower with that big bad boy leading the way. You know me, Maxine. I’m not one to quit without exhausting my resources.”
“What’d you do?” I asked while my interest rose.
“I followed him into the shower. We’ve had some good times in that little closet.”
“And . . .” “He got all pissed off because of my actions and yelled at me. He said he was late for work, and that he didn’t have time for any of my pushy attitude.”
“Then what?” I asked.
“I noticed he had lost his erection before he pulled on his pants, so I stomped off back to bed. He left without saying a word. I lay there for a little while steaming about the situation. Then I got up and came over here. I hope you don’t mind.”
“You did the right thing, girl,” I said using my most pleasant smile. And by the way, I love your outfit.” She returned my smile with one of her own and absent mindedly put her hand to the gap in the shirt opening. “Don’t cover up on my account, Polly. I find the view very interesting.”
“I wished Ramon would say things like that sometimes,” she mumbled.
“Fuck Ramon,” I said sharply. “Let’s work on your problem.”
“How?” she asked with obvious interest.
“Finish your coffee and we will go in the living room where I can give you a good nude massage. It may sooth all that hostility you have built up in you, and I’ll get a kick out of playing with your body.”
“Naughty girl,” Polly said.
“But honest,” I replied.
Polly pushed her coffee cup away and said, “Let’s go. That sounds like exactly what I need unless you have a twelve-inch vibrator.” Both girls laughed as they headed for the living room where Maxine helped her friend remove her shirt and stretch out nude on the couch.
“How’s this?” Polly asked as she settled into position on the couch.
“Beautiful,” Maxine commented honestly. “I’ve loved the color of your complexion every since I met you. It’s golden and smooth like honey.”
“Really?” she asked in mocked surprise. “Do you wanna eat me?” she asked jokingly.
“I would love to, if you are serious,” Maxine said.
Polly slowly rolled from her stomach to her back and looked directly into her friend’s eyes. “Would you do that?” she asked.
“I would love to, Polly. I’ve been looking for the proper time to approach you, and now seems to be the ideal time.”
“I’ve never been with a woman, Maxine. I wouldn’t know what to do.”
“I would be proud to be your first, and I will show you what to do. It all comes naturally once you make the decision.”
Polly was silent for a while, but her eyes were still fixed on Maxine’s face. “You’re serious, aren’t you?”
I leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. My gesture was nothing aggressive, just tender. “Kiss me,” I said in a whisper, “and then roll over on your stomach again.” Her kiss was tentative but sweet. She rolled over on her stomach and stretched her arms above her head.
My hands went to work on her silky skin. I was serious when I told her that her complexion fascinated me, and I’m sure that my touch as well as the pressure of my hands was relaxing.
