Earlier I wrote a story about an HM in the Navy that I had fooled around with in the bathroom. We hadn't seen each other at all after that until last night, when I was at a bar with a group of friends just talking and drinking and having a good time. This girl that everyone was friends with was visiting for a while so we all wanted to take her out to the bars and strip clubs and stuff like that. Anyway, while I was in the middle of telling this story that had everybody cracking up, I was looking at someone and as they bent over laughing, I saw the HM, who was sitting at the bar and also staring at me. I lost my train of thought for a second, just staring at her because she was the last person I'd been thinking about right then. I looked away and finished the story, saying that I wanted to get another drink at the bar. I went up and ordered a Corona with lemon, then said to her, "I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you?"
She said, "I'm good." After we completed the required niceties, she glanced at the girl she was with and introduced us. Her name was Sam. At first I was worried that they were going out, but after a while I figured out that there was nothing going on between those two because Sam was totally checking out this guy that was throwing darts, who I thought was pretty ugly but I was still hoping she'd go for him so we could be alone. Eventually Sam joined their dart game, leaving me and the HM, whose name I had found out earlier was Veronica, sitting together at the bar. I had gotten my drink a long time ago, and my friends called to me to join them again, but I told them that I knew this girl and I wanted to talk to her so they left me alone.
Our conversation was very easy and open and we laughed a lot, but we both wanted something else. We managed to sit so that our arms and thighs were pressed up against each other, and once when I was talking I put my hand on her thigh. She looked down and looked back at me with an amused expression on her face. I left my hand there and slowly inched it up, rubbing my fingertips lightly over the inside of her thigh. She spread her legs slightly, inviting me to go even higher. Then abruptly she took my hand and put it on my lap, saying that she didn't want people to see her with another girl like this since they don't allow that in the military. I still made it a point to touch her every once in a while when we talked, heightening the tension.
We'd finished our drinks and she suggested that we check out a popular band that was playing in a different bar. I didn't want to ditch my friends, but there were enough of them so that it wouldn't really matter if I left. Some of them didn't know I'm a lesbian, but the ones who did looked Veronica up and down, then smiled at me knowingly. One guy whispered to me, "Break me off a piece of that!"
I replied, "I thought you were gay."
