American Lesbian: The Mrs.

Posted in short story with tags , , on March 23, 2013 by Dani A

I slowed my pace as I approached the restaurant. I was late for dinner and already planned on bringing up a sensitive topic. Not a good start Beth, I said to myself.

“Good evening ma’am. Do you have a reservation?” The maître d’ asked as I entered the restaurant.

“Yes. It should be under Walker.” I replied, fixing my bow tie and smoothing out my jacket.

“Oh yes,” she smiled. “Your guest has already arrived Mrs. Walker, follow me please.”

As we turned the corner and she was in my sights I could feel her stare burning through my eyes to the back of my head. She hated when I was late. I was always late. The second I was by her side she put on a beautiful smile in front of the maître d’, stood and allowed me to pull her into my arms.

She smelled amazing as usual. I loved to pause right in the nape of her neck, where her scent was the strongest. I kissed her forehead as we let go of each other and she fixed my bow tie again. This time, the way SHE liked it. I pulled her chair out and kissed her cheek before walking to my side of the table. I unbuttoned my suit jacket as I sat and placed my napkin across my lap. I drew out each step of getting comfortable, prolonging the moment when I would need to look in my wife’s eyes and have “the talk”.

“May I get you something to drink ma’am?” Saved by the waiter. Yes!

“I’ll have a water please, hold the lemon,” I answered.

He walked away so fast, I didn’t have time to come up with a new diversion. My eyes raised in her direction and she was already giving me “the look”. We have been married for five years and I knew her every look and what it meant. This one will be quick. She’s only mad because I’m late. Wait until she hears what I really have to say.

“Honey,” she began with a smile, dragging out the word. “You’re late. I hate when you’re late.” She raised an eyebrow telling me to pick my excuses carefully.

“Carrol, I was stuck at work. My days don’t always end at five like yours. I did my best okay.” I used my soft, “I really really tried baby” voice to win her over.

Carrol rolled her eyes and looked away for a moment. I reached across the table for her hand and the second our skin touched, I caught the smile in the corner of her lips, just before it spread.

“You would be late a lot more often if it weren’t for me. You were probably running your mouth.” She said looking at me like she knew I really was running my mouth.

I laughed out loud and my face spilled the beans.

“I knew it. you loser!” Carrol said with a chuckle. “I’m going to be late one day and you’re not going to know what to do with yourself.”

We ordered when my water arrived and our dinner arrived not long after that.

“Well how was work today babe? Did you get my email?” She asked, batting her eye lashes.

This was it, I thought to myself. It’s time to have “the talk”. I was hoping to save it for the end of dinner, so I wouldn’t ruin the whole mood. The last time we had “this talk” she was upset for a whole week. We even slept butt to butt because she was so upset. She didn’t cook that week either. What kind of wife stops cooking and only buys herself sushi? She was starting to furrow her brow because here I am, still thinking instead of answering her question.

“Ok, let’s talk about this email baby.” I began in a soft tone. “Two weeks is a long time for your mother to visit. Doesn’t she work anymore? Who takes two weeks off of work?”

“Ummm, hello. We just took a two week vacation to Cabo two months ago. What are you talking about? Of course she can come for two weeks.” She laughed a little, which was definitely surprising.

I took that slight laugh and ran with it.

“Every time she comes she rearranges the whole house and finds a million things for me to do around the house.” I admit, I whined a bit.

She laughed a little again. What the hell is that about. That’s really new. Normally she would be spitting fire by now. She does not play about her mama.

“Sweetie, there’s nothing wrong with a little house work.” She took a sip of her wine and said nothing.

There was a silence that was unfamiliar. She seemed like she was done with the conversation and I was trying to think up a better reason of why she couldn’t come. It wasn’t really about the work. I just didn’t want to spend two weeks proving I was “man” enough for her daughter to marry and that she’s better off with me instead of an actual man.

I started to wonder why I even bothered. Of course she was coming for two weeks. I had no say in this. I began laughing to myself and Carrol looked at me like I was crazy.

“Okay well, she’ll be real bored while we’re at work all day.” I said, making one last attempt.

Carrol raised the corner of her lips in the sexiest way. “You’re so serious when my mother comes. I told you, you don’t need to prove anything to her.” She sipped her wine and licked her lips. Almost out of habit, I licked mine too.

She let her hand slide down the neck of her shirt, revealing the top of her left breast just above her bra. My heart beat sped up a little and her voice brought my eyes back to hers. “But I don’t want to argue with you lovie. I’ll see if she can go visit my brother instead, and we’ll see her for Christmas.”

“Really?” I responded, obviously shocked. “What’s the catch?” I raised an eye brow, wondering how much this catch would cost me.

“There’s no catch.” She shrugged. “If you feel that strongly about it, she doesn’t have to come.” She shifted her weight in the chair.

She uncrossed her left leg and crossed her right over the left, exposing her right leg from under the table. The sight of her leg caused me to squeeze my thighs together. She was wearing my favorite pair of black heels. They showed off her sexy legs in a beautiful way. As my gaze went up her leg, her perfectly tailored, grey pants, gave me a few inches glimpse of her stockings. They were black like her heels but with designs. Some kind of girly fish net thing. I loved it. Suddenly, all I could think about was taking off her clothes.

It never ceased to amaze me that the simple touch or sight of my wide made me horny. I slowly let my eyes travel up her entire body, undressing her along the way.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Carrol asked me as she pushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear.

“No reason.” I smiled. “Can’t I check out my lovely wife?” I winked so she would know what I was really checking out.

“Don’t get fresh with me Bethany Walker!” She said in a stern tone. “You’ve already got your way. No need to woo me too.” She stood up and began walking away.

“Where are you going?” I asked, careful not to yell but sound urgent.

“Can’t your wife use the bathroom?” She rolled her eyes and kept walking.

What the hell just happened? Did I mess this up. Damn! I’m definitely not getting any now. Was it the wink?

I watching her hips as they swayed and hypnotized me all the way to the restroom door.

Look at me. Come on baby, look at me. I craved this woman even when she was mad at me.

Just as she swung the door open, she looked over her shoulder and right into my eyes. I watched as she slowly wet her bottom lip and gently bit it before the door closed behind her.

My pelvis throbbed and I felt my goosebumps get goosebumps.

I needed her bad. I needed her now.

Within seconds I was at the same door leading to the three stall restroom. I walked in and locked the door behind me. Carrol was leaning against the last stall with bothe hands resting on her hip, like she had been waiting long.

I closed the distance between us quickly and placed a hard kiss on her lips. I parted her lips with mine and only then did I let my tongue slowly massage hers.

Her soft moan fueled my passion for her and drove me crazy.

Carrol tightened her arms around my neck. That was always how I knew she wanted to be picked up. I took too long and she pressed her body tighter against mine.

I gave into her cues and finally scooped her off of her tiptoes. I carried her over to the two cushion couch in the center of the bathroom. There were mirrors on both sides of us and as I laid her down the look in her eyes turned mine to the mirrors above.

We both grinned as I quickly unbuttoned her blouse and slid my hands beneath her bra. Her breast we perfectly round. Her brown skin was so smooth. While I flicked my tongue over her nipples I glanced up at her.

Her head was turned to the side to hide her bitting her lip. I had a perfect view of her short hair, black, silky, and feathered.

How does she get her hair to do that? I asked myself.

Suddenly she looked at me with her intense brown eyes and silently begged me to fuck her.

As I slid my fingers into her pants and underwear she did the same. I raised my body to give her arm room and lowered my lips to continue kissing her.

It took seconds for our rhythm to match and we hungrily went deeper into each other as hard as we could.

She moaned under her breathe until my thumb rubbed her clit. A customer tried to enter but found the door lock. Carrol moaned louder in excitement.

I began feeling her juices slide down my wrist and I knew she was close. She began to shake and out of nowhere do did I. She had found my spot and was out for cum. I used my free hand to grab her waist and I pulled her deeper onto my fingers.

Her breast bounced with each thrust. Our heads shot up towards the ceiling mirror and we watched our bodies blur into one. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and her last moan caused both our flood gates to open.

I let out a soft moan and she pulled me into her lips as her legs shook less and less.

Exiting the bathroom, we didn’t make eye contact with anyone in the restaurant. We grabbed our belongings from the table and I threw two, hundred dollar bills on the table.

Walking towards our cars, I thought of how wonderful my wife is and how much I’d kill to give her everything she wanted.

“Two weeks isn’t that long you know.” I said with a smile.

“I thought you’d say that. ” Carroll responded with a smile.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Ariana jumped out of her sleep at the sound of her boo’s scream. Her heart was racing as she ran down the hall to find her in the kitchen.

When she found her, she was in the kitchen, standing on the counter.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Ariana asked out of breathe, rushing to her side.

“I thought I saw a bug.” She responded.

“A what!?” Ariana yelled, jumping beside her on the counter. “What kind? How big?”

When the woman Ariana had been dating for three months didn’t respond, Ariana looked away from the kitchen floor and made eye contact with her. Ariana knew the look in her eyes all too well.

“What the hell are you doing up here?!” Her boo fussed. “You’re supposed to be down there looking for the bug!”

“Um, hell no I’m not!” Ariana looked at her crazy. “I do not do bugs. I will call maintenance tomorrow. Come on, let’s go to bed.” Deep down, Ariana knew it wouldn’t end that easy.

“How about I go home instead. I’m tired of this shit.” She hopped down and stormed off to the bedroom, still talking. Ariana followed behind her, to hear.

“You don’t do bugs….you couldn’t even open that jar of pickles the other day….I really needed my car fixed and instead of you fixing it, I had to spend hundreds at the mechanic.” She continued as she got dressed and gathered her things.

Ariana listened quietly. She had this argument too many times, she knew to just let it run its course.

Finally, standing at the door, Ariana opened it for her boo who looked over her shoulder to say, “It’s nothing personal Ari….. I just need a…..”

Ariana completed her sentence, “A man.”

Her boo paused, “No…..but being a bit more masculine wouldn’t hurt you.” With that rhetorical question she was out the door and out of Ari’s life.

Ariana locked the door and went back to bed, thinking to herself, “Another one bites the dust.”

As early as Ari could remember, she was a tomboy. She was never the dress or skirt type and only did so when her overbearing mother made her. When she was old enough, she developed her own style and it went well with her personality. She was comfortable and liked to be different.

Ariana loved her preppy style of dress, button downs, sweaters, you name it. Every now and then she switched it to skater-ish, when she only wore cargos, flip flops and graphic tees. It was a style that women loved and went well with her long curly hair, caramel skin and hazel eyes. She was 5’7 and had a pretty average build. The very feminine women that she attracted couldn’t get enough of her. Until they got to know her of course.

The next morning, Ariana was up early and craving turkey bacon that she knew she didn’t have. She grabbed her cell off the charger and dialed her best friend.

Jason was always awake this time of the morning. He was up at dawn every morning, working out on his balcony and lifting weights. He was just stepping out of the shower when he heard his phone ringing.

“Hey Ari.” Jason answered quickly.

“Hey J, want to get breakfast?” Ariana asked, still thinking about turkey bacon.

“Didn’t you have a boo over last night?” Jason asked, already knowing the answer. “It’s Saturday, you should be having breakfast in bed.”

“Yeah… Ummmm… About that.” Ariana began, “She saw a bug last night and freaked out.”

Jason bursted out laughing, “Did she freak out because of the bug or because you freaked out too?”

Ariana couldn’t help but laugh too, “You know how that goes….”

“Alright bf, same place in about an hour?” Jason suggested as he pulled out something to wear.

“See ya there.” Ariana rolled out of bed and headed for her walk-in closet.

An hour later, Jason and Ari were pulling up to “A Broken Egg” at the same time. This was the only place either of them ate breakfast. Ariana loved their turkey bacon.

“So did she leave last night or this morning?” Jason asked.

“Sometime in between,” Ari answered. “I just don’t understand why they have to trip like that. Every woman I meet acts like she doesn’t know I’m a woman too. So what if I’m not in a dress. That’s just my attire. Not who I am.” Ariana sighed.

“It’s a stereotype hun.” Jason put his arm around her shoulder. “In a lesbian relationship, you dress like the dude, so they expect you to be the dude.”

“That’s not fair.” Ariana paused to order her food. “I am masculine in many ways. I open doors, carry packages, take the trash out, protective when we’re out. I can even give her the financial security she needs. These are things I do naturally.”

Jason ordered his food too and added, “You have to find a woman that doesn’t believe in having “roles” in the relationship. Someone that won’t judge you.”

“I hate feeling so helpless. I dont fix cars, I definitely don’t have manly muscles like that and I don’t do bugs. I just want them to get to know me, instead of assuming they know me by my look.” Ariana wished out loud.

“You’ll find her babe.” Jason picked up his glass, “Here’s to being yourself.”

“Cheers.” Ariana smiled.

The two decided to run a few errands together, which included dropping off laundry, the post office and the grocery store.

At the laundry mat, Ariana found herself holding the door for a woman with five kids and a basket filled with clothes. “Let me get that for you.”

Once the lady was through, she smiled at Ari in a flirty way and played with her hair. She gave her name and asked Ari to help her with her bags. Ariana was still in shock that the woman even had five kids. She looked way too young.

Instant anxiety set it as Ari pictured herself struggling with the bags and knowing whatever attraction this woman may have for her would immediately disintegrate. Then watching all five kids pull on their mother, suck their thumb, beg for candy, she decided it wasn’t worth the trouble.

Jason came out the laundry mat after dropping off his laundry and headed for the car.

The next stop was the post office. The second they arrived, Ariana spotted this fine woman in front of them in line. She introduced herself and held her in conversation the entire ten minutes they were in line. She was into women, not in a relationship and definitely interested in Ari. They exchanged numbers and flirted until it was the young woman’s turn.

She was picking up a package and Ari’s head dropped at how huge it was. The words fragile was written on all sides and it was at least 90 pounds.

Ariana was too close to her not to feel the awkward pause when the woman smiled and asked for some help. Ariana took a deep breathe and made a quick attempt, but slowly placed it on the floor. Jason bought stamps at the next teller and when he was done, Ariana asked him to get the box. Of course he had no issues.

At the car as he set it in her back seat, Ari stood back. She hoped the girl still felt the same but deep down she wasn’t sure.

“Thank you so much,” the woman said, placing her hand on Jason’s chest. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without your help.” As if Ariana wasn’t standing right there, she reached in her pocket and tried to hand Jason her business card. “You should take me to dinner some time.”

Jason stepped back, “Bitch, I’m gay.” He walked away beside Ariana and was pissed that women like her existed.

By the time they made it to the grocery store, Ariana was beat. She was starting to feel like she would spend a lifetime choosing between dressing the way she liked and trying to be the “man” women expected her to be.

“Cheer up hun,” Jason pulled Ari under his arm. “Forget those dumb hoes. Most people find their soulmate in the cereal aisle anyway.”

Ari chuckled a bit and then just tried to clear her head. She made fun of Jason about all the feminine products he picked up. They made it to pet food aisle to grab some food for his cat and Ariana was frozen by this woman’s beauty about fifteen feet from her. She was struggling to pick up a 50 pound bag of dog food. Ariana couldn’t help herself. She went to her aide anyway.

“Want me to get that for you?” Ariana let the terrible words slip from her lips.

The woman stood to make eye contact with Ari and for a second, just smiled. Ariana took that as her liking what she saw. The woman finally spoke, “It’s pretty heavy for you to pick up alone.” She paused and Ari prepared for the worse. “We could probably do it together.”

Ariana smiled and nodded. They both bent down and lifted the bag together into the shopping cart.

“That was awesome, thank you.” The woman said and she laughed a little. “Now I need two more.”

They both laughed at the thought of lifting the heavy bags and Ari turned to call Jason over, “A little help please?”

Jason came over and once again, had no issues.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about,” the woman said, “put that muscle to good use.” They all laughed.

“Sorry… I’m not really built for that kind of labor.” Ariana pointed out, wondering what this gorgeous woman would say.

“That’s fine…. I’m sure there’s a number of things you ARE built to do.” The woman bit her lip with a soft smile and reached for one of Ari’s curls.

Ari couldn’t believe her ears, but didn’t miss a beat. “There’s a Chinese restaurant up the street. I’d love to take you one night and get to know you better.”

“That can be arranged. I’m Allisa,” She ripped a piece of the grocery list in her hand and wrote her number down. “Here’s my number,” Allisa smiled. “Bu the way, you don’t have to take me. It’s 2013, I can meet you there or even pick YOU up.” She smiled and was gone.

Ariana stood speechless. She managed to look up at Jason who was looking around and puzzled.

“What?” Ari asked.

“I’m looking for the cereal.” He answered as they both fell out laughing.

American Lesbian: The Whatever-Ship

Posted in short story with tags , , on January 8, 2013 by Dani A

imagesSimone took a deep breath as she looked at herself in the mirror. The love of her life was just in the other room, laying in bed, hopefully naked.

The water on her face was dripping and with it she hoped to wash away her nervous jitters.

It wasn’t working.

Katey had been the object of Simone’s affection for the better part of three years. They met at a poetry club in downtown Detroit while they were out with mutual friends.

They were hot and heavy at first. Every second they were alone they went at each other with a craving that could only be matched by wolves attacking fresh meat. It went on this way for a while until the inevitable happened. Simone looked at her reflection and rolled her eyes at herself remembering when she ruined it.

They were laying in bed after an awesome night of sex, “I think we should take our relationship to the next level,” Simone whispered into Katey’s ear that fell and rose with Simone’s chest.

The conversation was short but left Simone full of thoughts about how their whatever-ship would never be the same. The truth of the matter was that there was no relationship, they were just having fun this entire time. Simone kicked herself then and again now as she stood in her bathroom pacing about the matter. She spent two years sleeping with this woman, hanging out whenever they were free and she even lived for the moments in the middle of the night when Katey would call for a moonlit rendezvous.

It’s 2013 and I’ve made another drastic decision about my life. If you know me at all, you know this is somewhat typical of me. My decisions are less drastic and much more spaced out as I get older. However, life does need to stay interesting and change is always good :-) .
