Writer's second note: This part is a true story... as I finished typing the interaction between Jenny and Michelle (when they had both just "completed" each other) I looked out the window of my den to see a beautiful rainbow. Isn't that touching?
The story begins...
It was a Saturday that started like any other. I awoke after a night of drinking, took some Tylenol, had a shower, and then headed downstairs. After making some coffee I sat at the kitchen table to read the morning paper. I didn't realize that I had awoken so late; I was to meet some friends at a local pastry Shoppe for breakfast. So I headed back upstairs, brushed my teeth, did my hair, and got dressed.
My name is Lisa. I'm a young woman working in sales at a local distribution company. I'm thin and tall, at about 5'9", with brunette hair and brown eyes.
Jenny, slightly younger than I, is 5'7" with blonde hair and blue eyes. She's a secretary for the law firm where Michelle practices law.
Michelle is closer to my age and is just shy of being 5'9". She's practically my sister only with blonde hair and green eyes.
Susan, my age, owns the bookstore next to this pastry shop which is why we usually end up here; it's our hang-out. At 5'11" she's the tallest of us four and has deep red hair and green eyes.
We've been friends since middle school and know everything about one-another (or so I thought). Our conversation over breakfast started out trivial. We talked about the latest celebrity gossip and pondered what was going to happen tomorrow night on "Desperate Housewives." We made our plans for the day, or actually I did. There was a pair of heels that I had my eye on; we were heading out for a much deserved shopping excursion. It had been a while, due to our schedules, since we had a full day to hang out with each other. The conversation stayed light until there was a comfortable pause. I was about to use that as an opportunity to signal the waiter to bring me the bill for breakfast.
Susan caught my hand, and suggested that we stay a little longer. Over breakfast she seemed distant and we were about to find out why. Looking at the three of us nervously Susan declared
"Ladies, we... we've been friends for a long time now. There's something that I need to share with you. I don't want it to compromise our friendship which is why I've been hesitant about discussing this..."
She looked nervous and we all looked puzzled. I spoke up.
"Whatever you have to tell us... well, you know you can tell us anything, right?"
She nodded her head 'yes,' and took a moment to collect her thoughts and strength.
"Lisa, Jenny, Michelle, I'm afraid I'm not who you think I am." She paused, and then continued "I feel like I've been lying to you guys forever and it's killing me that I haven't been honest with you. So, here goes nothing... I'm gay; I'm a lesbian."
The rest of us were shocked and yet at the same time it just seemed to make sense.
We had a lot of questions for her, like: How long has she known? Does her family know about it? Her mother had to know; she owned the bookstore and sold it to Susan after she graduated from college. They spent a lot of time together as her mother still worked in the store.
"Yes, my mom knows" said Susan with a bit of relief.
She went on to explain that she came out to her mother a month ago and the two of them had grown closer together as mother-and-daughter because of it.
"Things were difficult the first few days after I told her, but I kept telling my mom that I loved her and hoped she would be able to accept what I had just told her. I reminded her that I'm still her little girl and her love and support means so much to me."
Susan continued.
"I didn't expect her to understand but she really did some of her own soul searching and soon fully accepted me for who I am. We're mother and daughter again and I love her so much."
I responded.
"Wow, we're all a little stunned at first, but, we're happy for you. So do you have a significant other? How's your love life?"
We all started asking her a million questions so when she was finally given a chance to talk, Susan stated that she wasn't seeing anyone at the moment. She was in a serious relationship for many years but her ex moved to Europe due to a major promotion. The break-up was the reason that Susan went on a solo trip to San Francisco a month-or-so ago. She needed some alone time, away from home, to get reacquainted with herself. Most of all, Susan needed closure and to figure out what she wanted in her future. She decided that she would just enjoy being single and see where life took her.
A big question we had for her was how she could keep it a secret from us for so long. She hid it well since she always had a boyfriend. Michelle, Jenny and I had never had any clue.
Susan explained that her homosexuality was difficult to hide and was part of the reason her Ex went to Europe. She was tired of being excluded from Susan's life in terms of family and friends. Susan then mentioned that her boyfriends were just friends and that they never "did anything." She had actual boyfriends when she was younger and starting to date but knew that the relationships would never work.
"So, now I've told you my deepest, 'darkest' secret, what are some of your secrets?" Susan asked.
There was a small pause in the conversation and Jenny finally broke the silence.
"Well, since you were so brave with your news, I feel that I should be brave as well. I haven't been with another woman sexually, but, I have had deep fantasies about it and even own a small collection of lesbian DVDs."
As Michelle's mouth dropped to the table, there were some "Ooh's" and "Ah's" and Susan even giggled a little bit.
"What are you laughing at?" Jenny glared at Susan.
Susan went on to answer, "Oh I wasn't laughing at you; it was just cute the way you said that. I think it's adorable and honestly I think it's completely natural for women to have fantasies about other women."
With that Michelle dropped her secret.
"I've more than fantasized about it," Michelle confessed, "I've have been with a woman, too. I don't consider myself to be a lesbian or even 'bi' for that matter, but I have been with women in high school and in college."
After everyone calmed down a bit about Jenny's and Michelle's secrets, all eyes were on me. I did have a secret but I didn't want to tell it just yet.
I said "I'm not quite comfortable telling my secret right now... Listen, let me pick up the check for breakfast; we've got some shopping to do."
The truth was that all of this talk about lesbianism had extended our usual visit to the pastry Shoppe by about an hour. Having had an extra cup of tea and a scone (or two) as well, I was ready to get up and take a stroll along The Boulevard (a favorite outdoor shopping district of ours).
I said "After The Boulevard, we'll head back to my place. There's a new recipe that I've been dying to try-out."
I was getting grief that I had yet to 'fess' up. "Stop your fussing, I'll tell you my secret when I feel comfortable."
With that we left the Shoppe and headed out; our purses at the ready.
At The Boulevard I was able to get the heels I had my eye on. Jenny bought a beautiful sundress and Michelle picked out a business suit. She had a trial coming up that she had to look 'sharp' for. Susan enjoyed window shopping; there wasn't anything on her needs list. As we were shopping we chit-chatted like usual, but the conversation gradually came back to the lesbianism topic. I mostly listened as the other girls discussed their thoughts.
The day was splendid; we were having a great time with each other.
I said, "Listen, why don't we pick up some of Jenny's DVD's as we head to my place for dinner. We've had a long day of shopping and haven't eaten since breakfast. After all this talk about lesbians I want to see what all the fuss is about."
Once we were all at my place we headed into the kitchen. I have a small bar area there and took some drink orders. Michelle wanted a cosmopolitan, Jenny wanted a sex-on-the-beach, Susan wanted a glass of white zinfandel and I grabbed a Heineken for myself. We made small talk while I fixed the drinks and then I walked over to the table where Jenny placed her bag of adult 'material.'
I announced "Let's see what we have here... a few movies from the 'No Man's Land,' series and some others from the 'When the Boys Are Away the Girls Will Play' series.
Hmm, these look interesting, oh and there are some girly mags too. After dinner we might have to watch one of these."
The girls helped out with dinner preparations while we had our first round of drinks. At about the time I was ready to call everyone to the table we were ready for round two. Dinner was good; I prepared a roast the night before and just had to put it in the oven. We had potatoes, veggies, a salad and rolls to complete the meal. Dinner conversation actually drifted away from the lesbian topic for a while setting up Susan for a nice comment.
"Dinner was great; I'm ready for a movie."
