I don't always have any such thoughts of being with another female, but when I do, it's like an inferno. Today just may be a new lustful thermometer one only reads about In Fiction. Only this day was real!
I saw from my window, Sandy, walking up the steps to my Gold Coast Home. Sandy is my morning study partner in Homeopathy. I still hadn't brushed up on any of that week's homework - maybe Sandy can catch me up.
The door bell rings. I rush down the stairs to greet my brand new visitor. "Hi Sandy, come on in", I say with a grin from cheek to cheek as she passes right through my open and marbled passageway. "Oh My God! - What a wonderful home you have Miss Saunders."
"Call me Jennifer, please", we walked right on through and into the kitchen area. "What can I get you Sandy?" I heard no response, only the view of Sandy standing at the kitchen window staring out the window with the widest and most precious innocence of wonder."
Sandy was lost in the view and mesmerised by the reality of the most beautiful outdoor area she has ever laid eyes upon. The fresh lush greenery meandering over a yellow brick pathway down to the most gorgeous swimming pool she has ever seen. A swimming pool of rock and a waterfall that gently wetted the rocky outer skirts of a swimming pool one could only dream of.
"Oh My", Sandy could eventually muster into words, "I've never seen such a..." - I interrupted, "Such a beautiful day it would be a crime not to be out there not enjoying, and studying our notes together with a Splash Of iced strawberry and lime to boot?". As I passed the glass to her our fingers gently met and our eyes locked properly for the first time.
Sandy took the glass and sipped as she turned again her eyes of wonder at the paradise outside. I sipped as well as I joined her standing there in enchantment. Seeing this world through Sandy's Eyes was wonderful - I needed this glimpse of such innocence and wonder. I needed this presence and openness more than I ever thought I did.
We both stood there maybe a touch longer than I normally would with a visitor - without even saying a word. The sudden ease I felt and shared of just saying nothing. No need for small talk, talk that was only unnatural, awkward - we slowly just sipped as we both looked over the whole yard but especially the mesmerising rock pool below.
Sandy's Eyes were hazel and her cheeks were full, full of softness that only a woman as myself could notice as from one woman to another could appreciate the wondrous female standing only two feet away. Somehow, for some strange reason I could see myself in her. She brought me back, back to a time when all was new.
I turned and smiled to her and soothingly said, "How about we dangle our legs in the pool, it just may help us concentrate a touch more?". Right then I saw a new fresh look on her eyes, cheeks and lips. She involuntarily swallowed as she was taken aback by my soft generosity and unabashed forwardness only a woman could trace.
