It was the scent of perfume that first roused Kelly from her nap. She inhaled deeply as the scent began to awake her. Slowly she began to remember what happened and then where she was. She opened her eyes slowly and then looked up at Liz who still held her cradled in her arms.
As Kelly lay there the full realization of what had transpired hit her. She was lying naked in the bed of an older woman how had just made love to her. Kelly felt very conflicted. On the one hand she believed that everything that happened was wrong, unnatural. Women did not make love with other women. It was against nature and her basic beliefs.
Yet she could not get over the feeling of peace and contentment that she felt. To be made love to by this woman was so gentle and sweet. There were times when she had finished making love to Tom that she felt guilty. Guilty about enjoying it. Guilty about being naked in his presence. Yet, she felt not guilt, no shame with Liz. She wasn't sure what to do now.
Did she want to stay or did she want to find some graceful way to leave. As she pondered this, Liz said, "Hello Darling! Are you rested?"
Kelly smiled and absently mindedly caressed Liz's belly. "I feel well rested, but honestly Liz, I feel confused. I just don't know how to feel."
Liz smiled and stroked the younger woman's hair. "I remember my first time. It was like being on a roller coaster. I didn't know how I should feel. It felt wonderful, yet I felt guilty. I felt sublimely at peace, but also very uneasy. I was torn."
Kelly kept stroking Liz's belly as she replied, "I just don't know if this is even right. You know, between two women."
Liz continued to stroke Kelly's hair and continued, "You are the only one that can answer that. All I know is that I never stopped loving my husband and I believe it made me a better and more sensitive lover. I just couldn't believe that anything that felt so good and so sweet could be wrong. The love I share is just an extension of what I feel. How can sharing love be wrong? It doesn't mean I'm a lesbian, it means that I have expanded my horizons and know how to love in other ways. No matter what happens, I hope we can always be friends. If we can't be lovers, then I hope we can remain friends. But that's up to you."
