Laura met Susan online in a chat room where thoughts and dreams flowed freely and without prejudice. They immediately hit it off discovering many things in common in their personal lives. Over the course of the winter, Laura and Susan corresponded almost daily, discussing their lives and the world in general. Their discussions ranged from their sex lives to their favorite ice cream flavor. They talked about just about anything and everything, things they wished they had done to things they wanted to do. The subjects not only included themselves but their families as well.
The two women had discussed meeting at some point but each had their own life to live and since they were at opposite ends of the country, it was almost impossible to meet. Their desire to meet face to face weighed heavily on each of them, they knew they had something special between them and wanted to see it come to fruition. Both women were bi-sexual and their attraction to each other became more and more evident as they conversed.
They kept in touch through out the spring; Laura was celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary in May of that year along with the graduation from college of her youngest daughter, Julie in mid-June. Susan had mentioned how lucky Laura was to have been married for so long and to have such wonderful and well-educated young women as daughters.
Laura joked that it would be icing on her cake if Susan could visit during that time of year and help celebrate all the wondrous things in Laura's life. Susan agreed but circumstances didn't allow such a long spell away from her family and work as a public relations coordinator for a national trade show corporation.
Then the unexpected happened, the person in charge of the big summer west coast show in Laura's hometown quit suddenly, taking a job with a rival firm. The company called on Susan to fill his spot on short notice and asked her if she would go.
Seeing that she could turn this into an opportunity to make herself shine and visit with her dear friend, Susan accepted the challenge. She booked her first class business seat and let Laura know she would be visiting and working in her area just before the July 4 holiday. Laura was excited and insisted Susan stay with her since their house was a short drive to the convention center where the show was taking place. Her husband was going away for a couple of weeks camping and fishing so there would be time for them to spend focusing on themselves, if she didn't mind Julie being around the house.
Julie would be off from school, working part time and getting ready for graduate school. Susan didn't mind in the least, she knew from their conversations that Julie was a wonderful young woman, she looked forward to meeting her, and Laura's other daughter Becky.
Susan's flight arrived early and she called Laura's cell phone to let her know. She had a few messages from her work and listened to them as she walked to the baggage claim area. She didn't see her friend waiting for her in baggage claim as they had planned. Susan began to worry; she hadn't made any other plans as far as lodging and transportation and most of the rooms in the city were probably booked. She finished checking her messages and discovered a call from Laura. She listened to it and the other two Laura had left her.
Just as she hung up from the last message she heard a soft voice behind her, "Excuse me, Susan, is that you?"
She turned around and standing there was a young woman looking a bit embarrassed as she asked again, "Excuse me, Susan?"
Susan replied, "Oh yes I am and you are?" Susan recognized Julie from the picture Laura had sent. However, pictures didn't do her justice and Susan wanted to make sure.
"I'm Julie, my mom is Laura, she sent me because she had an unexpected problem come up and had to deal with it. I hope you don't mind, she really wanted to be here."
Susan looked the young woman over; she was dressed in very short shorts, which showed off her long smooth legs. They were firm and toned from playing various sports, which required a great deal of running. She also wore a loose fitting T-shirt with her college's initials across her ample breasts. On her feet, she wore the normal footwear of college co-eds, flip-flops. She was tan and her long auburn hair was straight and brushed neatly down to the middle of her back. At about five-foot five, Julie looked the part of the all-American girl-next-door.
Susan holding back a giggle smiled, "I don't mind at all Julie, your mother left me a few messages and apologized in so many ways, I can't be mad at her."
Susan opened her arms wide to hug the young woman; Julie not sure, hugged her back.
Susan looked her up and down. "Your mother has told me quite a bit about you, but I had no idea you were this pretty." Julie blushed as she let go of Susan and stood back looking a bit embarrassed.
Julie blushed a bit as she took her turn checking out her passenger. Susan was dressed very conservatively in a light grey business dress, black 3" heels, and a bone colored silk blouse. Her skirt showed off her legs, toned by hours in the gym trying to keep up with the younger women who seemed to be taking all the good jobs in her company. Susan was in her mid forties but could pass for thirty, she was around five foot six and her body was proportionate to her weight, which she watched like a hawk.
Julie smiled as they both turned to wait for Susan's baggage, their time waiting filled with small talk about Susan's flight and the weather. They kept peeking at each other out of the corners of their eyes and admiring what they saw. As the two women waited for Susan's baggage to come around on the carousel the conversation ebbed and flowed like the waves on a shoreline. Brief pauses with nothing said and then more questions from one to the other.
Julie had been the subject of quite a few conversations between Susan and Laura. Susan had a stepdaughter just about the same age as Julie. They discussed the various highs and lows that each of the girls had been through during their teen years. They talked about different situations each had experienced and how they had grown, learning from each episode.
Susan's stepdaughter had been sexually active for quite some time with both men and women. Susan had encouraged her stepdaughter to be open but also warned her about being too promiscuous. Laura felt certain that Julie was still a virgin but didn't butt into the young woman's sex life at all. Julie had never had a steady boyfriend and had never mentioned any other attractions. After all, Julie was now twenty-two years old and could make her own decisions.
As they talked, the bags from Susan's flight started popping out of the shoot and heading around on the carousel.
Susan turned and asked Julie what she would miss most about college. Julie slightly blushed and answered, "Oh, I think my soccer team and my sorority sisters, the camaraderie I guess.
Susan arched an eyebrow and probed a bit more. "You were on soccer scholarship weren't you?"
"Yes, but I never was a star player." Julie replied a bit embarrassed. She had gotten a full scholarship out of high school but with so many better players, her playing time became limited.
To get away from the rude people barging in between them retrieving bags, the two women slowly inched their way further out and down the conveyer belt.
Susan was very interested in hearing about Julie's soccer exploits and began asking more direct questions, some having double meanings which Susan used to see the reaction she got from Julie.
"So you had a full scholarship and not on first team, that must have been nice." Susan commented.
Julie looked at her and replied, "No, I didn't feel I was earning my way through school."
Susan glanced back and smiled. "That's good you have ethics, I like that. Your mother has done a good job raising you." Julie blushed and felt warmness deep inside her with the comment from Susan. She then went on, "I've heard there are a great deal of lesbians that play sports Julie, not that I'm labeling anyone or saying that's wrong. I was just curious if that was your experience." Susan waited for Julie's answer knowing what Julie's mother had told her about the young woman's experiences or lack there of.
"Yes the school is fairly small and our soccer program was always looking for new talent", Julie started to blush again realizing she had made a double entendre with the talent part. "But as far as the team being all lesbian, no. I think a couple of the girls may have been bi-sexual but I didn't ask and they never hit on me."
Julie continued, "I do think that there were a few rather large and more aggressive girls on teams we played but if they were lesbians I have no clue. I can only speak from my own experience."
Just as Julie finished her explanation Susan's bags came around on the belt. Julie noticed that on Susan's bags she had wrapped big elastic rainbow straps around each piece to identify her luggage and to help hold them closed. She wondered to herself if the straps had any other significance other than those obvious ones.
Susan reached down and grabbed the first of her bags, her skirt rode up high on her shapely legs as she bent down, Julie noticed as she also bent over to grab a bag, her shorts tightening on her legs, made Susan smile as she glanced over.
Out of the corner of her eye, Julie saw Susan gazing at her bare legs, a pleasant feeling shot through her tummy and down between her legs as she stood and smiled at Susan. The rainbow straps took on more significant meaning now. "Are these your only two bags, Susan?" Julie asked innocently.
"Yes sweetie, they are. Can you handle that one? It does have wheels." Susan mentioned as she took the handle from her smaller bag and pulled it out.
"Oh, I'm ok." Julie assured the older woman, mimicking her pull of the handle.
Susan grinned wickedly, "I'm sure you can handle it, you're young and still in great shape."
Julie blushed as she felt her nipples react by suddenly poking under her top. That same wave of warmth repeated itself between the young woman's legs as she smiled back at her new friend.
"Well, you're in pretty good shape yourself Susan. You must hit the gym often." Julie said.
"Yes, I have to keep up with all you young ones who want my job. Unfortunately, in my line of work looks are a big part of the whole package", Susan lamented.
