This short story is not for anyone wanting detailed descriptions of pussies, nipples and what two girls can do with them. It is another story that has evolved differently than I originally expected, as explained in my essay "Erotica 102," fun for me, I hope also fun for some readers.
* * *
Patricia and Linda had agreed to share an apartment in Chicago, when they discovered that their first jobs after college were there. They only knew each other because they had majored in the same subject at Northwestern. The apartment had only a small bedroom, so one of them slept on the sofabed in the living room. "Trisha" lost the game of scissors-stone-paper to decide who got the bedroom.
Their new jobs and staying in contact with friends from Northwestern kept them busy in the first weeks, only slowly learning more about each other. One weekend evening, when neither went out, they shared a bottle of wine and agreed that they knew surprisingly little about each other, agreeing that they had quickly known more about their respective roommates in college.
"Sleeping in the same room," one of them suggested, the other agreeing with smile and shrug. The other one also shrugged, but they didn't pursue that subject, exchanging more information about their families and what they had done before college. The next time they were together for an evening with another bottle of wine, they told a little more, now mentioning boyfriends in high school and college.
It was a couple of more weeks before they had another evening together, picking up where they had left off: boyfriends. They both chuckled agreeably, when they admitted that they hadn't slept with anyone until they were in college, but then they had: similar first times, an after-game party and not good. Linda's was after a football game. Trisha's was later, after a hockey game. She took a better sip of wine and remarked:
"But we had to do it, even if it wasn't good. It sounded like all the other girls had were every weekend."
"In your dorm too? Yes it did. Had to happen sooner or later, even if the parents still thought their daughter wouldn't before she got married."
"Most have been a lot of parents who didn't know what their daughters were doing," Trisha remarked.
"Or the girls were just putting on, because they wanted to seem more experienced."
"Um-hmm! Like people say: 'guys who talk about it don't do anything'."
"He sure didn't seem to have any experience the first time, and it wasn't much better the second time, the last time with him," Linda replied.
"Yeah, about the same, but we didn't either, so maybe not all their fault."
"Hadn't thought of that. Yeah, of course."
They both smiled wryly and drank again. Trisha shrugged slightly and then remarked softly:
"But then it did get better, didn't it?"
Linda nodded with a grin, but then she suddenly blushed, her grin disappearing. Apparently Trisha didn't notice the change in Linda' expression, responding to her nod and grin:
"That's good, like for me - hm-hmm - and for him, not the same guy, but he said it was too."
Linda sighed silently, her blush fading, and agreed:
"Something like that for me too, but he didn't say that."
"Maybe he already had more experience?"
Linda nodded again, taking another sip of wine, but blushing again. This time Trisha noticed and remarked:
"Most have been good, if you're blushing at the recollection."
"It was," Linda admitted, blushing more, then almost whispering:
"My cousin."
Trisha started slightly, but then shrugged with an apologetic expression. Then she smiled mildly and replied:
"If it was that good, why not?"
"For that reason, ... but it was good. You're not too shocked?"
"Just a little, at first. Hm-hmm! Hmm? If my brother had wanted to, I would have."
This time Linda started with wide eyes. After a moment she murmured:
"With your brother?! You would have?! ... But you didn't?"
"No, but I think I would have."
"Really?!" Linda asked with a shocked expression.
Now Trisha was blushing. She almost emptied her glass of wine, then nodded slightly and replied:
"I think so."
Linda sniffed in surprise and quickly refilled their glasses, emptying the bottle. Linda nodded, then murmured:
"But you did with your cousin."
They both drank, then looked at each other with raised eyebrows, both smiling very wryly. Linda replied:
"But you would have with your brother, ... worse."
"We didn't, but I don't think for that reason."
Linda snorted. After a long moment, she replied:
St. Paul said that just thinking about it was as bad as doing it, ... and he wasn't talking about siblings."
Trisha shrugged and murmured:
Yeah, I remember that from Sunday school, and I sure wasn't thinking about him or even doing anything at the age."
They both giggled, then laughed, almost spilling their wine. Then Linda remarked:
"I wasn't either back then, but, at least, a cousin isn't as bad as a brother."
"Hmm! You said it was good, and we didn't, so not quite so bad, and only now, later, do I think I really would have,"
"But you were thinking about it."
"Only with hindsight, after the first time, then thinking that it could have been better with my brother."
"Yeah, with my cousin it was after the first couple of times."
"And good," Trisha added.
Linda nodded with a slight smile, not blushing. Then she said:
"I don't have a brother."
"And don't have a sister, if I remember correctly, so just as well, no temptation."
"But you have sisters," Linda remarked with raised eyebrows.
"Much older, and older than my brother. They just filled me in on the facts of life."
