"She didn't want to say anything, but when you fall for someone, it doesn't really take a lot of work. You don't have much choice in the matter. It sort of just hits and then you know."
We've all seen commercials where there's that random thing - that once in a lifetime blink of a moment. I had one - well, no, two. I was on the Adams Street bridge over the Chicago River. God, she was gorgeous. Black jacket, buttoned, fair skin, skirt... it was long enough ago I don't remember all the details. She saw me gawking and blushed... and smiled. I should have and didn't.
Your eyes meet hers and lower - embarrassed. And your heart flutters. Mine did. And I gushed.
I was about to walk away when I had *that* moment. So I turned around and said, "Hey, I'm Jenna. Are you in a hurry?"
She stopped. Win!
And turned around. YES!
And smiled. Oh help me!!
"No. Why?"
'Cuz I think I'm in love with you, okay'. Inner voice!!
Confronted with the reality of my fantasy, I fumbled, sophomorically.
'I... um... was wondering if you might want to spend the rest of your life with me.' Thoughts be GONE!!
What tumbled out of my mouth was "Got time for coffee... or something?"
She smiled.
"It's Jenna, right?" I nodded. ""Yeah, I have time. It's a Saturday and I'm shopping. You're cute. Lets."
Weak kneed, I followed. I was stunned when she took my hand. Kitty moon walked.
Could it be? How random can it be?
"So what do you do, Miss Jenna?"
"I, um, work." I'm such an idiot. I'm blowing my chance with this gorgeous woman. "I'm so sorry. I'm totally dusted by how gorgeous you are and I'm fumbling about like I'm 15 or something."
She laughed. It was water on a waterfall in a remote part of... whatever. You know what I mean.
"You between lovers or just stunned by my beauty?" Can I marry you on a first date?
I shrank under her steady gaze. I have no idea why. And my heart was threatening to leap right out of my chest.
Which, if you're interested, is a not quite bountiful 34B. I'm teeny - 5 ft 3. I don't know... they tell me I'm sorta cute.
She! Was... no... is amazing. Not too much taller than me, Brenda's hair is strawberry blonde. Her body is amazing. Which I didn't find out till later. She giggled and kissed my shoulder when she read that!! Smile!
So we had coffee. I probably should remember everything about that day. But there have been so many others since that the early ones get lost in the shuffle - a little.
"Tell me about you." UGH! I did. She smiled.
"Your story sounds a little like mine. My family wasn't very supportive of who I am." She shrugged. "It's gotten better, but I don't know what they'll do if I bring you home and announce you as my honey." I thought I might faint.
Her eyes never left mine. "Did I scare you, honey?"
I coughed and lied, badly. "Not at all." She giggled. She had seen me blush. Which I had.
"So do you fuck on a first date?" Oh my fucking god!! Who is this woman and...
"I, um, haven't... but there's always a first time." She smiled.
"Shall we?" Yes please!!
We did!!
Oh yeah... her name is Brenda... she prefers Bren. I prefer her. All day, all night. Every night. But I wander.
Her apartment was small but well appointed. She asked if I wanted to use the washroom. I was terrified, horny, and near panic. My experience with first date lovers was: small and none. But this woman had me - and it terrified me that she might see it in me.
Why?
I have no idea.
We're weird. Duh! You know what I know. We're all weird. It's how your weird meshes with hers. Ah yes... I see heads nodding!! Oh goody... you're on track with me. You may not know my story but I damn well know you know what I was feeling.
There's that moment when you undress with her - in front of her. You worry she's judging you. You wonder if she worries about you judging her. LOL You're so horny, so desperate, that it barely registers.
"Hurry!" I looked into the pool of dark green eyes. And shivered. Make me yours - forever! Please!
I pushed the panties over her hips and shivered as her sex came into view. Bare, it looked like mine. I wondered how it would taste.
We were on her bed, me between her legs.
I bent to heaven, took in her scent, and dove into the sweet wetness.
SHAZAM!!
"Jenna, I swear I'll melt with that fab tongue of yours." Giggles.
Her hips lifted when I pushed my fingers into her. Yeah, fuck it. Three of them. Let's see what she's made of.
She wailed as she bucked against me.
'Like it, bitch?' Inside voice!!
She exploded, her juices coating my lips and tongue. I drank her in, wondering if she was like me - multi orgasmic.
I found out. She was. Is.
She gave as well as she got. Trust me on that.
It wasn't like me to wake up with someone I'd just met - but it didn't feel like Bren was just 'someone.'
And she proved not to be!!
Days turned into weeks, which turned into months. Yada yada.
"I love you."
Startled, I looked up, distracted from my Outback steak. She frowned.
"What? Do you not love me?"
"How can you ask me that, Bren? You have to know I do."
Caught. Bagged. Tossed in a canvas something or other and... whatever,
"You're way more bold than me, honey." I shrugged, lowering my eyes. "I do. You probs know I do. I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to say the words." I reached across the table and took her hand. "Don't doubt for a moment how I feel."
In another of the oddest coincidences, her apartment and mine weren't two miles apart. She was in sales with a tech company and I... well, I have a job. But you don't care - much!
We went to movies, watched the new TV season as it unfolded, giggled as dinner cooked in her kitchen or mine, and languished in our respective beds after... blush!
She taught me what wanton was!! I thought I knew what... no... how... lesbians made love. OMG - I was so wrong. Maybe that was what she picked up on me that first day. That our gaydar had gone off - but... had she seen something in my eyes that let her know she knew more than me?
In time, she became my everything. We met each others families - that was fun! NOT!
My sister hates me. Well, no that I think about it, that was mostly when we were teens. We talk now and then. She's got her life and I have mine, ya know? My parents have, to me, always been robots. Whatever.
Her family was wonderful. "Jenna, welcome to our family. If our daughter loves you then we love you." I cried.
We made love that night. "Can we please be quiet? It's my family."
I laughed.
