I hate moving. Mind you, this was my very first move so my experience was, you might say, limited, but those of you who have moved and I must think that's most of you, know what I mean.
My name is Sally. I'm a country girl and I was in the process of moving to the city for the first time. Oh, did I mention I hate moving? I'm twenty-one, considered pretty by most people, long blonde hair, five feet nine, slim, good legs, firm breasts, firm enough that I don't often wear a bra, with annoyingly pointy nipples that stick out noticeably whenever I get excited. Or cold! Both of which seem to happen often, much more often than I would like.
I had just broken up with my boyfriend of three years so the move came at a very good time for me. A clean break, though the relationship was never the world's greatest love affair, at least for me. He was a nice enough guy but there was always something missing, so enough was enough.
I parked in the lot behind the apartment building and was in the process of moving my clothes, kitchen utensils and the like, anything, in fact, I could carry in my car, to my apartment. As I walked down the hall, the door of the apartment next to mine opened and a tall, beautiful red-haired girl, dressed in a robe, came out, apparently to get a newspaper that was lying on the carpet just outside the door.
She noticed me, and with a big smile said "Hi there, just moving in? Why don't you wait until I throw some clothes on and I'll come and give you a hand, in fact I'll bring my partner with me and you'll be done that much faster. Many hands, etc, etc!"
"That's so kind of you," I replied, "but I really haven't got much to move."
"Then we'll be done that much faster, won't we. Back in a sec." answered the red-haired girl with a smile and vanished into her apartment.
I opened my door, deposited what I was carrying and almost before I could turn around, the red-haired girl was back, accompanied by a much shorter, black-haired girl, both of them wearing t-shirts, jeans and running shoes.
"Let's start this off right," she said. "I'm Mel, short for Melissa, can you imagine, and this gorgeous girl is Wendy. Looks as though we're going to be your neighbors."
I introduced myself and we made our way back to the car. Mel was right, just three more trips and everything was moved and the pain was over! The two girls even helped me to organize my things in the apartment, to put my clothes away, rather embarrassing as my clothing, especially my underwear, was very plain and some of it quite old. They were very kind, however, and didn't say anything, for which I was very grateful.
We finished quickly and Mel and Wendy insisted that I come back to their apartment for a coffee and to relax for a while, to which I readily agreed.
"So," said Mel with a big grin when we were sitting down with our coffees, "not that we're nosy, but tell us all about yourself."
So I did, about my life in the country, about my new job in the city, even about my recently ended love affair.
"So what made you break it off after three years?" Mel asked. "Didn't you like him any more or was there some other reason? I am a nosy bugger, aren't I! Just tell me to shut up if you like!"
"No, that's okay." I replied, laughing. "I don't know why I broke it off, but there was always something missing in the relationship. I mean, we got on fine, the sex was pretty good but the thought of spending the rest of my life with him made me break out in hives. Bit of an exaggeration, but you now what I mean."
"Well I think you were lucky to find that out before it went any further." said Mel. "You're a very wise girl and more power to you."
"So that's enough about me," I replied, "now it's your turn."
"Well," grinned Mel, "we're both city girls, have lived here all our lives. We're partners, lovers, call it what you will. We're lesbians and we live together. I hope that doesn't bother you, Sally."
I answered as honestly as I could "No Mel, it doesn't bother me but I'm not sure I totally understand what a lesbian is. I know that must sound pretty naive, but I never seemed to run into any in the country. Not that I would have known if I had or not."
Mel and Wendy moved closer to each other on the sofa and stared into each other's eyes. Mel said, in a quiet voice, "We love each other, Sally. We discovered a long time ago, long before we met, in fact, that we preferred the company of women to men and that we only wanted to have sex with women. We met about two years ago, fell in love and we've been together ever since." "
"Don't worry, Sally, we're not going to attack you, you're quite safe with us." Wendy added with a grin.
I blushed and stammered "I'm not worried, Mel, I feel totally safe with you, why wouldn't I? But thank you for explaining. I've heard the word before, of course, but I never really understood it. I think I do now."
"Listen, I probably shouldn't suggest this," said Wendy, "but we're going to a club tonight, a lesbian club, no men. Would you like to join us? We'll take good care of you, I promise, but it'll give you a better idea of what we're all about and if you don't have any other plans you might even have fun."
I thought for a minute before answering. "I'd love to come, Wendy. I'm going to be very nervous but as long as I'm with you I'll feel safe, I'm sure."
"Then you go and sort out a nice outfit and we'll pick you up at seven o'clock. OK?" said Mel.
I agreed and as it was already late afternoon I went back to my new home and had a meal before doing what I was dreading - finding a decent outfit to wear. I chose a dark red blouse and fairly short, matching skirt, a black, new uplift bra and black thong that I once bought in a fit of bravery and which was still quite new, unworn in fact. A pair of nude tights and black medium heels completed the picture.
This chore completed, I had a shower, dried myself off, applied makeup, not much, some perfume, also not much, dressed in my 'finery' and I was ready for whatever the evening might bring. I was so nervous I was almost wetting my pants!
There was a knock on the door and there were Mel and Wendy, dressed to the nines. I really felt quite dowdy alongside them, though they went out of their way to compliment me on how I looked.
We took the subway to the club, which was only four stops away, in the city center and were very quickly there. By now I was really nervous and the girls had to work hard to reassure me.
"Listen," said Wendy "if you can't stand it, we'll leave. We've dragged you here so that's the very least we can do."
"No, Mel," I smiled, "I agreed to come and I've no intention of ruining your night out. I'll be fine once I get used to the idea, honestly. Now, let's get in there and have fun."
We entered the club and I was pleasantly encouraged to find that it wasn't at all what I expected, me, who had never been in a club in her life! It had muted lighting with a lot of comfortable seating. Mel led the way to a semi-circular booth covered with dark blue plush material around a table alongside the dance floor, she and Wendy waving to friends as we walked to it.
We sat and ordered drinks from a waitress who arrived almost immediately and this done, Mel and Wendy got up to dance. I spent the next couple of hours, chatting with the girls when they weren't dancing and being asked to dance frequently by women of all ages. Once I was over the strangeness of dancing with a woman I realized that I was beginning to really enjoy myself.
About two hours into the evening a tall, extremely beautiful, well-built girl with a cap of blonde curls, about my height, dressed in a very short, white dress buttoned down the front came up to me and with an enormous smile asked me to dance.
She took me in her arms, she was obviously going to lead, and we started dancing. We were about the same height and I was very, very conscious that our breasts were touching, I could feel my nipples getting hard, as were hers, rubbing, rubbing mine. She pulled me closer, our bodies fully touching, and I realized that I liked this, I really liked this.
We introduced each other, whispering in each other's ears and I learned that her name was Olivia, that she'd lived in the city for several months and that this was only her second time at the club.
I told her that this was my first time and that I'd never been in a club like this before, or any club come to that. She asked me if I was a lesbian and I explained, blushing, that I'd only just found out what a lesbian was, explaining further that I was only here at the urging of my new neighbors. She looked at me, held me more closely and told me that she liked me very much and would I like to have a drink with her when the dance was over.
This time I didn't hesitate and accepted her offer. We didn't really want the dance to end, at least I didn't, so good did it feel holding, and being held by, this beautiful woman, but it eventually did and she took me by the hand and led me to her table, where we sat close to each other, ordered our drinks when the waitress appeared and continued chatting.
