An idea I've had for a while, now finally written. This is the start of a series as far as the concept is concerned. I don't know when the next one will be as I am considering what the next one should cover. Just as a reminder I welcome suggestions, but I don't do pregnancy or impregnation as these topics don't interest me.
Isabelle was a fairly average woman in her mid-twenties with close cut blond hair. The image was originally intended to compensate for her name being so girly, but since college she had come to like the look and so kept it. A strict regimen of diet and exercise insured that her figure was just as trim as when she had adopted the hairstyle in high school.
There was a knock at her apartment door and she eagerly crossed the living room to it. As expected the opened door revealed her best friend Maria. Many would probably not have guessed they were friends. Maria was barely five foot to Isabelle's five eight, with long dark hair. Maria was also nowhere near as obsessed with her figure as Isabelle was. She was in decent shape, she had curves that the boys certainly didn't complain about. They briefly embraced and closed the door. Isabelle led the way to the kitchen.
"Izzy, are you sure about this? I mean taking tea seems a little silly." Isabelle shrugged as they gathered up everything and returned to the living room.
"Come on, let's just try it once. I've got an instructional video and everything." Maria sighed.
"Okay, okay, I'm feeling bored anyway. I guess it could be fun." Isabelle smiled and the two began moving things to the living room. It took two trips each in order for everything to be set up in the living room. Once they were seated Isabelle spoke.
"Okay, I'll start the video." The video began with a short burst of music that seemed to go through them, despite its short duration. Then a cultured British voice began speaking in accompaniment to the visuals to show examples of people taking tea.
"Hello, welcome to the Proper Ladies Guide to taking tea." Maria rolled her eyes at this, but Isabelle's focus was solely on the video. "To begin with the host will pour the tea, guests first and the tea pot must be left with the spout pointing to them." Isabelle poured tea into Maria's cup and then her own.
"Excellent, now turn to thank your hostess and compliment a feature." Maria looked blankly at Isabelle for a moment before speaking.
"Thank you, Izzy your hair looks very nice today. Sexy." They both blinked in surprise, but the woman on the video continued drawing their attention.
"I'm sure it was a safe compliment, but we'll work on it. Now remember at all times to keep your napkins to the left of your plates, folded edge to the left, open edge to the right and never leave your napkin on a chair. Hostess, why don't you softly stroke your guest's leg?" Isabelle rubbed Maria's leg for a moment. Maria looked up, but Isabelle's attention was entirely on the TV. The video continued.
"Now ladies to the tea itself. Carefully spoon in the sugar, a refined lady should not take more than two spoonfuls. Once the sugar is in the tea, do not stir it. Place the spoon at twelve and fold the tea back and forth to the six position." The two of them followed the instructions carefully, although both had the sense that something was off, but they weren't sure what.
"Lovely, now ladies, take a sip. Remember, never slurp your tea and look directly into the cup while drinking." They both raised the cups to their lips and took a small sip, careful not to slurp. "And above all raise those pinkies while drinking girls." They did so, but it was a little awkward to do so. After a sip they lowered the cups.
"Now ladies make sure those spoons are left on the saucers to the right of the cups. It's important to maintain eye contact when you give her a taste." The two stared blankly at one another and Maria spoke.
