"Remind me again why I'm doing this?" Miranda asked, even as she slipped her pale fingers into Pari's warm, soft grip and allowed herself to be led out of the bar and down the sidewalk. She knew she was breaking a number of her own rules--club nights weren't for hookups, they were for meeting women the blonde college student thought she might want to date later, and going back to someone else's place wasn't something she did until at least the third date. (Okay, second if they had adorable deep brown eyes like Pari did. God, she was so fucking gorgeous. Miranda couldn't stop thinking about the way their hands were touching right now.)
The young Iranian woman gave her a sly smile and said, in a lilting accent that suggested a British education, "The night is young, the bar is loud, so why spend time among the crowd?" Miranda giggled--she'd been trying to catch Pari out for most of the night, but she'd been unable to stump her new crush when it came to couplets. She seemed to have an intuitive gift for rhyming, and although it was exactly the kind of deliberate eccentricity that usually got on her nerves, Miranda found it utterly charming coming from those cherry red lips.
Of course, looking the way Pari did made just about any habit a little bit easier to take. Miranda couldn't stop sneaking glances at the other woman's wide smile, her gorgeous light brown skin that caught the moonlight so beautifully, the sway of her heavy breasts as they walked along the busy downtown streets... Pari looked so vivacious and full of sexy punk energy with her spiked purple hair and ripped denim jacket that Miranda was honestly surprised that she didn't have to elbow her way through a crowd of admirers to start up a conversation.
But it seemed almost like she was sitting near the back of the bar just waiting for Miranda to notice her. "There's no one that you have to meet," she'd said, her voice carrying clearly over the early evening crowd, "so why not come and have a seat?" All thoughts of Carrie and Leah and Edwina fled Miranda's mind in a heartbeat, and she quickly and gratefully sat across from Pari. Her friends would undoubtedly find their own entertainment. Miranda would just let them know in the morning that she bumped into someone unexpectedly.
And spent the night... spent the night? "Um, yeah, sure," Miranda mumbled, unsure why she felt the need to deflect the other woman's attentions. God, her body was so fucking beautiful--just thinking about embracing Pari and caressing the smooth swell of her hips where they broadened out into that plump, sexy ass made Miranda's eyes glaze over with arousal. But--but she had rules, didn't she? Some kind of rules that she'd made for some reason or another, probably a stupid reason that didn't make any sense. But she should still at least try to follow them. "We, um, we can just go for a nice quiet walk together."
Pari chuckled. "But I have coffee, strong and hot," she purred enticingly, her silvered tones coaxing Miranda with the promise of more than just a warm drink on a cool October evening. "It's just the thing that hits the spot." Miranda's head practically swam with arousal--she knew full well that the young woman wanted to have sex with her, their conversation back at the bar had been laced with flirtatious rhymes until Miranda's panties were almost soaked clean through. But she... she should, um, she had the rules, and she didn't want to break them because--because--well, this was why she made them when she wasn't horny and tipsy and distracted, right? Because sometimes when you were like that it was hard to remember the perfectly good reasons not to wander off and tumble into bed with a total stranger.
Miranda didn't want to break her own rules. But maybe she could just bend them a little. Just go up to Pari's apartment, have a little coffee and conversation, and leave before she did anything too... too.... Miranda's mind momentarily sank into distraction, feeling the other woman's soft, delicate fingers against her skin and wondering what it might be like to have them touch somewhere a little more intimate. She'd never been with another woman before, and the thought of being caressed by someone who knew just how she liked to be touched made Miranda's pulse quicken and her breath hitch.
Miranda frowned suddenly, her legs carrying her automatically down the street as she tried to concentrate on the strange, incongruous note that her recent thoughts struck during their wanderings. It was something, something that seemed simultaneously comfortingly familiar and yet thrillingly new, something that reminded her of Pari's soft, cooing words back at the bar. Miranda's eyes went glassy and unfocused, trying to hold the two contradictory frames of identity in her mind at the same time. She, she'd never been with a woman in her life before tonight, never even thought about it despite so many men's drunken dares on her nights out with her friends, and yet....
"A woman's touch is soft and warm, so why not love a female form?"
That was it! Miranda smiled, chuckling at her own foolishness. She remembered now. The 'no hookups' rule was there to protect her from predatory men who showed one face in public and a very different, very dangerous one when they were alone with a woman. Miranda didn't need to worry about that, not with Pari. The gorgeous, sensual beauty holding Miranda's hand was so soft, so lovely... so sexy, so hot, so filled with unabashed sensual power that Miranda's cunt simply couldn't stop drooling into her panties with anticipation of the pleasures to come... that she wouldn't think about making Miranda do anything she didn't want to. She was perfectly safe.
Her fears resolved, Miranda's feet almost seemed to float along the pavement as they continued the short journey to Pari's small apartment. "It's small and cozy, I confess, but have a seat and mind the mess!" With that, the Iranian woman hung up her jacket on a small hook by the door (revealing, in the process, a ripped Green Day t-shirt that exposed a mouth-watering amount of skin) and went over to the tiny kitchenette to start preparing coffee. Miranda hung up her own coat next to Pari's, and glanced around for somewhere to sit.
With a rueful smile, Miranda realized that the only free space in the small efficiency apartment was the double bed that took up nearly half the living area. "I, um, I can't help noticing that you don't have any chairs," she grumbled playfully, settling herself onto the edge of the mattress and trying hard not to succumb to the urge to flop backwards. She had promised herself that she was going to save any hooking up for the second date... or maybe the first date, fuck it, she had needs and god Pari's tits made her clit throb like a backbeat to every slick and sinful thought... and if Miranda lay back and let her skirt ride up her smooth, pale thighs the other woman might get the wrong idea. She might think that Miranda was, was... what was it she said back at the club?
"A secret slut between your thighs, a hidden truth behind your lies. Arousal building by the hour, until you slip into its power. My words will tell you who you are, once we depart this boring bar." Right. That. Pari always seemed to be... to be right about everything. It was a little bit disconcerting.
Even now, her eyes on her task and her hands busy with cups and saucers, the voluptuous woman knew just what to tell Miranda. "Why clear a chair when no one stays? They wind up bedded anyway!" She chuckled, and the young blonde couldn't help giggling along. Miranda had to admit that it made sense--in a small apartment like this, floor space was definitely at a premium, and using the bed as a makeshift sofa maximized the available room. Plus, yes, anyone who wound up coming up to visit, well, they... they had to wind up in bed with Pari, didn't they? H-how could they not?
