Author's note: Thanks everyone for reading, feedback and comments always welcome. I'm wondering if NonConsent/Reluctance is the best place for this, if you have thoughts on that it'd be appreciated. I think it's definitely more on the reluctance side for sure, but if some of the more widely read readers have suggestions for another category that would be a better fit I'd be interested to hear them. Happy reading!
Nancy Mitchell was frowning and watching severed strands of her pubic hair fall into the toilet bowl. Normally quite reserved except in her online fantasies, the shy young woman kept up a running narrative as she carefully moved the beard trimmer over her vulva. "You're not just automatically going to submit to this woman, or even sleep with her, Nancy. You barely even know her. Sure, she felt you up in the bathroom and afterwards you gave yourself the best orgasm you've had in years, maybe in your life, but you gave yourself that orgasm, not her! That doesn't mean she owns you or gets to tell you what to do, or control your clothes and when you come, and it definitely doesn't mean a damn thing that you've been thinking about her non-stop for the past three days."
She turned the clippers off, and scowled down at her cunt. She checked her pubic area out with a hand mirror, made a few more passes in the hard to reach places, and put the clippers away. Her diatribe, punctuated by the flush of the toilet, continued as she glared down at her now neatly trimmed but not shaved bald like the women in her stories (because she was not a helpless victim but a strong woman in control of herself) pussy. "And you! Behave yourself! What if she doesn't even call because she's intimidated? Have you thought about that? Yeah, what if she realizes she's not good enough for us? Huh? You've spent the last three days getting wet every time I think of her, and frankly I think you could have a little more respect for yourself. Get it together, sister!"
With her treacherous pussy properly chastised for its inconsistent loyalties, Nancy proceeded to get dressed in her usual first date outfit. She started with green panties and a matching bra. Even if her breasts were small enough that they didn't need the support the matched set looked damn good on her. A black button down shirt, pair of khakis that her ass looked fantastic in, her lucky rainbow pattern socks on her feet and Vans by the door in case they went out and she was as ready as she was going to be for whatever the night brought. She had spent the past three evenings cleaning to distract herself and her apartment was cleaner than it had been since she moved in. The second hand furniture was worn but comfortable, the sheets on the bed freshly washed just in case, and the cozy rooms still smelled faintly of lemon-scented furniture polish.
Nancy flopped on the couch, and put on a movie she'd seen a dozen times already as a distraction. She would not stare at her phone. And what did "call you" even mean? It didn't matter, she would not wait for Agent Waters to "call her" like she was some lovesick wallflower who had never even been kissed. So what if she didn't date much, she was doing just fine on her own, and if the bitchy blond with her big tits thought she was going to waltz in here and be all "Eyes down you will address me as Goddess Mistress Lady Superior Amazing Tits and Unicorn Farts!" this and "Let's find you a gangbang to star in and send a recording of it to every contact in your phone" that well she could just go fuck herself! The sheer, unmitigated nerve of that woman!
Nancy clenched her jaw and spent the next hour having intermittent imaginary arguments with Agent Waters. She picture herself yelling at Agent Waters over the phone, told her never to contact her again, and by the time Agent Waters called Nancy was furious. She was more than ready to be done forever with the woman she had bathroom sex with three days ago and had been fantasizing about since she met her at her security clearance review.
Her phone rang and Nancy turned off the movie and stabbed her finger into the touch screen to accept the call with a snarl. It said "unknown caller" but Nancy knew who it was, and as soon as Waters confirmed it was her Nancy was ready to tell the agent in no uncertain terms that she didn't do booty calls and where she could stick her overly inflated opinion of herself if she thought Nancy was just some chatroom hoe she could boss around for her sadistic kicks. "Yes, hello?"
The voice on the other end of the line was anything but cool, imperious, or demanding. It sounded warm, but also uncertain, like it was hopeful but afraid of saying the wrong thing. "Hi, Nancy? It's Chris. So do you still want to talk about... you know, stuff? I got Thai from that place three blocks from here and I'm at your building door. It's Yum Nua and Pad Thai. I promise I wasn't cyber-stalking you, just looking for decent takeout in the neighborhood and happened to see your review. You said that's what you always got... Well, your review did... Uh, yeah, I hope that's okay, I just hate trying to decide on dinner and delivery always takes forever on a Friday night, if it even arrives and they get the order wrong like half the time." The voice paused, then resumed in a hurried clip when the silence on the phone lingered. "But we can always go out or get delivery from somewhere else if that's not okay! Or does that sound good? To you? Thai food?"
The fucking bitch brought her favorite Thai food! Nancy tried to hold onto her anger, but felt it fading from her body and mind as the other woman talked. Apparently, to Agent Waters "call you" meant "talk like a couple of people who happened to be kinky on a first date" and not "just waltz in and take serious liberties with your person without asking first." Nancy eventually realized she hadn't replied to a single thing that had been said and jumped. "Yeah, yes, this is Nancy, that sounds great, let me buzz you in." She walked over and held the button down to unlock the outer door to the building, took a second to let the last of her anger fade, and then went over and unlocked and opened the door to her apartment. Slightly without her full consent, her face broke out into a ridiculous grin. Agent Waters' friends called her "Chris." She, Nancy Mitchell, would call the striking woman who might just dramatically end her long romantic dry spell, "Chris." She rolled the name around in her mouth, and decided she liked the feel of it.
Chris' blond hair appeared first, coming up the stairs at a steady clip. Nancy stood in her doorway, watching the woman's face, a heavy charcoal gray sweater dress with geometric patterns embroidered around the neck and chest, an umbrella in one hand trailing drops of water and a brown paper bag of food in the other, and finally a black pair of leather boots. Nancy let out a sigh when she saw the boots, slick black and shining with beads of water on them.
Chris looked up from managing the umbrella and bag of food that her attention had been focused on. She saw Nancy's smile, smiled back, and brightly said, "Oh wow, Nancy! You look really gay!" Chris' eyes went wide, her cheeks flushed, and she exhaled sharply. "Great! I mean you look great! Shit! You look really great!"
A snort that turned into a laugh forced itself out of Nancy's mouth and the last of the tension left her body. "You look great too Chris, come on in."
Chris handed Nancy the food, and carefully leaned the umbrella where it would drip on the mat by the door. She maneuvered out of Nancy's way as the shorter woman closed the door behind her and flipped the deadbolt. Nancy took the food over to the small, wooden dining table and started pulling out items while Chris pulled her boots off and set them on the mat. "So to drink I've got diet-oh, you got boba tea! All right!" Chris felt the warmth of the apartment take the chill from her skin and walked over to stand by the table as Nancy pulled open plastic takeout containers that would be added to her not-Tupperware collection later and diplomatically put the steaming entrees in the center. "Family style?"
"Yes, please." Chris nodded and sat down and the two began adding rice, noodles, and pieces of sizzling brown meat to their bowls, then sat down and began to eat. After a few mouthfuls, Chris paused to look around the apartment. Mismatched furniture on a hardwood floor, a bookshelf with mostly travel books, cooking books, and card and board games (many still in their plastic wrap), a few DVDs, a corkboard with pictures over a small secretary style desk with an office chair, a current gen video game system and one controller, and a variety of small and medium-sized plants punctuated the brick facade walls. Chris murmured around the food appreciatively, and threw out a conversation starter. "This is a really nice place. Who's in the pictures?" She pointed to the corkboard with her fork.
Nancy swallowed. "College friends mostly. After graduation we all ended up in different cities, but we still stay in touch. Electronically in touch anyway. We do a video call after the holidays, since we don't really see each other in person anymore. I think I remember what it's like to have a social life? Vaguely?"
