This, had become an all too familiar sight to me in recent weeks. Allana had joined the company where I worked a year ago and been assigned to the same department. We had been friends ever since. She was a high spirited girl and we took to each other instantly. She was 22 and I three years older than she. Our friendship had grown over the months since we had met and we were now closer than I had ever been with any one but a partner before. We shared almost everything about our lives including friends, work, family problems and everything connected with every day living. We also had similar interests; we both enjoyed the outdoors, photography, clubs and our need to always have fun. One area of difference though was our personal relationships. Allana was going through a very messy relationship, while I was having a great one. I have been with a wonderful guy for the last year and a half and we are very happy. We had our little squabbles like every couple but we have grown beyond them. My boy friend, Daniel, is a great lover and when we're together, the sex is great - a key element in most relationships - I might add). Sadly, Daniel was forced by his employer to take a temporary assignment in another island four months ago. Since then we have managed to see each other only one weekend about a month after he had to leave. Needless to say, we spent every moment devouring each other and making up for time lost. Three months have now gone by since I saw him last. We have remained in contact by telephone calls every now and again, but mainly we have corresponded through lengthy emails. I love him and it was killing me to be away from him, but always one to see the bright side of things, I now got to have the best of both worlds, a partner whom I loved and had a great relationship with, and the freedom to go out as much as I liked without worrying about getting home early to a worried partner. Allana, however, was having some terrible problems. In the last month she had grown to be a different person, one filled with sadness. She cried in my arms almost every other day when we shared lunch or after receiving one of his dumb calls while we were working. The thing was, she was in love, or so she thought. Her boyfriend, David, has been cheating on her. When she found out about it, not only did he turn it around on her by blaming her for it, but he also made his fling more public. He actually brought the girl to his house, and called Allana while she was there. He played a nasty mind games with her. He totally broke down every ounce of her self-esteem and demoralized her, and I can't for the life of me figure out why she didn't just dump him. Even prior to that there were problems. He hated her going anywhere without him, yet he seldom bothered to take her out. He would blame her for things that didn't even relate to her. He would start a fight with her about little things, then disappear for days at a time without leaving her a means to contact him. He would string her along with meaningless 'sweet-talk', especially when he wanted something from her. The sex had almost ceased and it was only when he demanded it. I've tried speaking to her on many occasions. She always blamed herself for his abuse and stupidity. She admits that he didn't treat her well. She admitted her hurt, but it all boiled down to one thing. She loved him. I have always said 'there's a thin line between love and stupidity'.. she wasn't even balancing on that line, she had completely fallen over the edge toward stupidity. But I loved her and was here for her no matter what. I left my desk, following her down the hallway, finding her crying her eyes out in the small lunch room at work. I sat next to her embracing her. "Only last night..last night.. he had her in his house.. the same house we have memories in. The same bed....gawd Tara, why is he calling me now.. why is he telling me that he loves me.. why Tara...why?" She sobbed uncontrollably on my shoulder while she gasped for breath. I sat silently rocking with her, letting her vent out. I had grown used to this over the past few weeks, and there wasn't much I could say to comfort her, nor could I dissuade her from keeping contact with him. The times when he called and I answered the phone, I refused to give her the calls. I couldn't always catch the phone and he still got her at times. I loved her so much, yet I felt somewhat powerless. We sat in the small lunchroom for about twenty more minutes while she rambled on and on, sobbing wildly. It hurt me every time I saw her like this and still, as always believed that I must have some chance to help her, to get her away from him. When her sobbing ceased I lifted her head a forced her to look at me. "You are coming home with me this evening Allana, you are spending the weekend at my place. Okay.. Do you hear me? I want you to have absolutely no contact with David and I am serious. No more accepting his calls, no more calling him. Nothing. You need to stop allowing him to do this to you. He is only hurting you because he can. Because you allow him too. And I want you away from him." She began shaking her head muttering something at which point I cut her off.. "No..'ifs'.. No 'ands'... No 'buts'. You are coming!!" I was tired of being gentle and being mild, none of it sank in. While she is by no means my child nor my sister, I love her dearly and I needed to get her away from this.. and it was now or never. She nodded yes and I held her to me for a few more minutes comforting her. The rest of the day dragged on. She barely did her work and her face was somber. I didn't expect anything different. This was her 'David-just-called' mourning period. When work was through, we packed up our bags and left. We stopped off at our usual Friday evening hangout after work. It was a quiet bar where we would just sit and relax and have a few drinks; even play a little pool. Allana didn't seem up to it but I would have it no other way. She needed to relax and not let the afternoon go as badly as her day. We usually dressed a bit casual for work on Fridays. Today I had on black close fitting pants with a beige bustier-style top. It hugged my breasts nicely, showing of every curve so, of course I wore a jacket over it while at work. Allana was in a similar outfit, pants with a red halter. She is about 5' 6", a couple of inches shorter than I am. She has a lovely caramel complexion skin which slightly contrasted with my darker, rich-chocolate toned skin. Her hair is long and flowing. She has nice athletic legs with a great tight ass, that many men went crazy over., and small perky breasts. I parked in the bar's lot, we touched up our make up, removed our jackets and headed inside. By this time Allana had brightened a bit. The bar was quiet, but we saw a couple of the regulars and went over to them making the usual 'how-was-your-week chat. The bartender poured our usual first drink without even asking, we were that regular :-) A Screwdriver for myself with a very mild Pina Colada for Allana whose tolerance for alcohol was lower than mine. "Anyone up for pool" came a call behind us. It was Paul, another regular. Never turning down an opportunity to play, I jumped up. "Rack em" "Anyone but you Tara" "What?Why? You're too chicken?" "Call me what you wish, but last week you beat me 4 games in a row. I'm not up for that kind of embarrassment again" "Ha!!.As I said... Chicken!!" I mocked. I was a good player and proud of it. "Okay lets make it fair,. Get yourself a partner and Allana and I will play the two of you...Right Ally?" I turned to Allana for her consent. She was also a good player and it was a great way to get her off the bar and focused on having fun. Paul dragged another guy, Randy, to the table and we began. "Lets make it interesting, okay. Losers take out the winners tonight. Deal"? I asked grinning. "Deal" echoed the other three. We all had a very casual friendship. We enjoyed a few drinks and some fun going out every now and again. Allana and I won the first game of the best of seven set. The guys won the next three... and we came back, stealing the next two making it even. With three apiece, the last game was tense. "Aren't you guys tired of losing to us? It's a shame for all men!" I screamed as Allana pocketed the eight ball winning the game. I ran to her high-fiving her then tapped each guy on the butt. "Ahh.. we let y'all win.. and the pool stick I had was no good anyways" "Excuses, excuses" Allana chimed. "A bad workman always blames his tools" she said grinning. It felt good to see a smile on her face. "So fellas, what's happening later?" "Black and White is gonna be good tonight" came Paul. Black and White was a really good disco with great music. It was fairly new and as its name indicated, the only two colours of dress were black and white. "Yep.. Ladies night Special tonight" "You cheapskate!" I joked, poking him with a pool stick playfully. " On Ladies nights, ladies are free." "Hey, I'm not dumb" he came back laughing. "I already lost the game, I'm not going to lose money too!!" "You call taking out a lady, losing money? Poor Carla" "That's a bit different, she's my girlfriend, so I don't have a choice, and in that case its not a loss. It's an expense!!" We all burst out laughing as we settled back at the bar. We agreed to meet at the disco later and after a few more drinks, left and headed off to Allana's home. She lived with her Family, with whom I had a good relationship. I said my hi's and hellos and went with Allana to her room to help pack for the weekend. We took about fifteen minutes sorting through her clothes, and then left for my house. I live in a three bedroom house,one of which I had converted to a home gym. My place was small and comfortable, my kitchen nice and neat and my living room, very homey. Allana had been to my place before and went to put her stuff in the guest room while I headed off to my room. It was abit after nine and we would be leaving for Black and White at around eleven, so we went straight in to showering to get ready. "Coming over to your room to dress" Allana shouted from the other room. "Your mirror is bigger" "Okay. What are you gonna wear?" I asked as she entered. I was sitting in front of my mirror applying my make up. "I don't know" "Check out my closet, see what you like" "Your clothes wont fit me and you know it. Especially your tops. These pancakes wont look good in any of them" "Aww com'n Ally, what IS it with you and your breasts. You always complain" Oh you mean my 'lack of breasts" she said pushing them together looking at her reflection in the mirror. "You have plenty Besides, what do guys say... more than a mouthful is wasted?" "Can you honestly say that ANY man has EVER said that to you?!!" "Well..umm...no" I grinned. "But so I've heard" "Not a chance, you haven't heard it. With those lovely breasts, a mouthful is the last thing on any guys mind." She said giggling. "Okay okay.. you've made your point. But I still say you have nice, breasts, small and firm and perfectly formed. Anyway variety is the spice of life. That's why we are all different. That's why I have these and no need for a push up or padded bra" I said cupping my breasts "and that's why you have those" pointing towards her padded bra in her hand. "You suck miserably at consoling me" she said playfully swinging her towel at me. "Okay so much for my clothes, Use the leather pants you brought with you and the black and white top." It was a racy zebra print top in which all of her back was bare but for a few strings..she would ok great in it. I settled for a black leather skirt, which reached around mid thigh with a matching long sleeved jacket. Under that I wore a white turtleneck top that hugged my breast. I swept my hair up and fastened it with a few pins, letting some loose curls fall framing my face. I completed my outfit with some silver earrings and 4" strapped sandals. "How on earth do you drive in those?" Allana cried. She had settled on 2" pumps. "Practice, practice, practice" I grinned at her. After checking in the mirrors one last time. We were off. We got to the club around 11:30 and it was already packed. Music was blasting and we got right into the action. Mingling in the crowd abit. then heading off to the bar to order a couple beers. It took us about twenty minutes to find Paul who was there with his girlfriend, Carla, whom we knew well and two guys, Randy from earlier at the bar and another. We all sauntered unto the floor getting into the music. We danced, changing partners every now and again and making trips to the bar and we were having fun. Allana was enjoying herself. She'd had quite a few drinks and though I knew she wasn't drunk, I knew she was tipsy. The rest of us were fine and I knew she was safe, as long as she didn't have more for a while. She was gyrating to the techno music belting out from the speakers. And like the rest of us was having fun. Then the worst possible thing happened. There was David standing over by the bar. I tried to get her attention directed at me so she wouldn't see the bar area. But that only worked for a while. Eventually Allana saw him and I knew her all too well, she was going to walk over to talk to him. Seeing her pull away from Paul, I stopped her. "You aren't going near him. Leave him alone Allana. We're having fun. Lets continue" "I'm only saying hello" she shouted over the music. "Yeah right Allana!!..Yeah bloody right...you know what??Do whatever" "Its just a quick hello, Tara" With that she turned and headed in the direction of the bar, swaying abit with every step. "Always just *something*" I muttered to myself. When she reached him and they started talking, he seemed agitated and angry. I had no idea what they were saying, but he wasn't looking happy about her being there at all. And then I saw exactly why. His 'other girlfriend' was there as well and she was making her way over to them coming up to Allana from behind, with contempt written on her face. She passed by Allana, purposely bumping into her. She stopped dead between them, embraced David, kissing him squarely on the lips and David didn't do a thing to stop her. That jerk!!..How could he, I thought. Then the scene got even worse. Allana grabbed the girls arm hauling her off David. The catfight started while David just stood there. I was running across the room. Paul and the others on my heels. The music had stopped and everyone had cleared around, some hooting at the girls. The group of us together managed to yank Allana away from her 'opponent'. It was terrible. Before getting her away from it all, she grabbed a drink from the bar, throwing it at David, drenching him. He deserved it and even worse, but its not like this was anything surprising. He was scum. The bastard just walked out. He didn't even bother to wait for the other girl. Allana ran outside, she was in a mess, emotionally. She was wailing and hyperventilating, and fearing that she was gonna run after David, we kept a close eye on her. Why she let that son of a bitch hurt her like this..I could never say. As Allana ran towards my car, I followed and the others came along as well. I unlocked the door and guided her to the back seat. She sat and her tears flowed. I followed her in and held her to me. Her body shook violently as the tears racked through her. I rocked with her body holding her head on my breasts, running my fingers through her hair, trying to soothe her. We remained this way for a long while. She wrapped her arms around me and held me tight. Randy motioned for me to give him my keys. He got in the divers seat and started the car. I nodded good night to the rest. As Randy drove out of the parking lot, his friend followed in another car. Following my directions, Randy drove to my house. When we got there, Allana's sobbing had turned into whimpers. I thanked Randy as he helped Allana inside then after asking if she would be okay, left in the vehicle that had followed us. I sat with her in the living room in silence while she shook. She stood up suddenly. I jumped at her quickness "You know what Tara? No more..no more..no more!!.. I've said it before but this is it. David doesn't give two shits about me or my feelings and he has made that clear. I aint his fucking puppy. I want nothing to do with him ever again" She has gone this route before, but this time I believed her. It was the first time she said it with conviction. I knew it was going to take a while. But tonight, as bad as it was, was like an awakening to a bright future, one without the likes of David. "Come here"..Go take a shower." I helped her off with her heels and led her to her room. "Change and go shower Okay Baby" She nodded yes and I left for my room to change as well. I wrapped a robe around me then went to the kitchen. I poured us two shots of brandy and carried them to her room. Though she had a little over her limit of drinks for the night, I knew this would relax her. I set the drinks and hearing Allana coming out of the shower, I went to take mine. When I got back to her room she was dressed in a soft cotton chemise laying on the bed. "Here take this." I said offering her the drink. "It will help you relax." She sat up. She was still a nervous wreck. We drank the brandy while she lamented over her 'relationship' with David, over the things she has done for him and the shit she put up with. She had finished her drink pretty fast and I went to pour another. Taking it from me, taking a large gulp she went into tears again. This time it as more of a silent sob. "Ally sugar, how about a massage?" I suggested ".Hmm?Let me go get my oils" She limply nodded yes. My heart went out to her, I hated that she was in so much pain and my love for her swelled in my chest. Coming back with the oils I directed her to lie on her stomach and worked from her legs up to her shoulder and neck. I nudged her to ease up while I took her chemise off leaving her totally bare. I poured some oil into my palm, letting it heat a little, I spread it to the other hand and began rubbing it into her back. Her skin was so silky and smooth. Her back, slender. I enjoyed the feel of her under my hands. Her crying had subsided and I felt her muscles relax. I moved up to her shoulders as I pushed, pinched, squeezed and rubbed, succeeding finally in easing the tension out of her. I caught my breath as I heard her moan, a very sultry moan. A moan that stirred feelings deep within me. Feelings that I haven't felt for a long time and certainly feelings that I didn't know existed towards Allana. You see I am bisexual I have been with a few women in my life, my last was a few months before my relationship with Daniel. I now felt flustered. In my year of having Allana as a friend, never before had I looked at her sexually, but sitting here rubbing her back, massaging her beautiful caramel skin and listening to her purring was evoking pangs of lust from the center of my womanhood. I felt myself getting moist and I began smelling the aroma of my excited sex. This was frightening me, for Allana and I shared a great closeness, but a closeness not on a sexual level. The smell of sex was becoming more and more apparent and I was afraid that she would be getting a whiff of my arousal. I pulled back from her with a suddenness that I guess startled her. I sat on the edge of the bed. "What is it Tara?" came her worried tone from behind me. I couldn't bring myself to answer her. "What Tara??" she asked again bringing herself up to a sitting position behind me and wrapping her legs around me. I felt her sex against my ass, and though there was the material of my robe separating us, I got goose bumps at the mere thought. A Reawakening Ch. 1 "What, why are you so tense?" "I-i believe I should tell you something" I said faltering with every word. "What?" "Well...you know I love you right?and we share everything with each other...But well..there is something else I believe you should know".. All the while we remained in this position.. I couldn't bear to look at her..I didn't want to see her shocked fearful look when I told her. "I don't even think that his is the best time to bring this up...you already have so much you're dealing with..but..I..I.. " "Just tell me Tara..What?"there was a pained, worried sound in her voice. "Well..I..I am bi-sexual" I blurted.. "I have been attracted to women for a while and not only have I been attracted to them but I have also been with them.. and.. well... me being here with you in this situation has stirred feelings that I didn't know existed towards you and it frightens me. I.. I.. Shouldn't be here" With that I unwrapped her legs from around me and raced out of the room.. Why did I have to tell her.. She deserved to know.. but I shouldn't have.. I suddenly regretted opening my mouth in the first place. I couldn't bare to ruin our relation ship.. I just couldn't.. I was now the one in tears. I sat on the living room sofa staring blinded by my tears at the television. I caught a movement in the corner of my eye.. and there she was. She had followed me into the living room and she was still naked. I looked up at her beautiful bare body walking towards me and pangs of lust ran through me. Allana came and sat next to me. "Tara, I knew" I looked at her dumbfounded. "Yes I knew, I've known from the beginning of our friendship that you have been with women. We live in a small community remember?" She said with a nervous grin. "I never brought it up because I figured that it was your choice to do so, whenever you were ready" I didn't know what to say nor how to react. Except more tears flowed. This time she was the one doing the comforting. I leant unto her shoulder while she held me. "Its nothing to worry about Tara. I don't hold it against you..Okay".. I was still silent. Her hand was softly rubbing my thigh, but slowly her rubs became gentler and more intimate. She gently cradled my chin and ever so slowly brought her face towards mine. She was going to kiss me. And from the looks of it, it wasn't going to be the usual peck on the cheek. I jerked back. This couldn't happen. "No Allana. No. This cant happen. It Can't. I want to... You've had too many drinks and you're in a vulnerable state. No. we cant" I was confused. Allana got up and walked away. My words had come with a blunt force and my rejection hurt her. I didn't mean nor want to hurt her and I had to let her know, but I couldn't follow her. My feelings were too much to bear. My different thoughts seemed to be battling in my head. It was like a pandemonium. I couldn't think clearly. My frustration was getting the better of me. It was late but I need to vent it out. I headed for my room, changed into workout gear and went to the gym room. I got unto the treadmill trying to get my mind to settle. I moved unto the work bench. I spent about an hour and a half in there, and I left in as much of a mess as I was in as when I started, not to mention tired. How do I face Allana again? I went to the bathroom and had a long soak, after which I climbed into my bed and fell asleep somewhere around 4:00 am. * * * The next morning I awoke to the smell of bacon and coffee. I couldn't remember the last time I smelled someone else's morning cooking. Allana must have gotten up early. Looking over at the clock I saw it was 10:00 am. Thoughts of last night came flooding in. Last night was the end of Allana and David. Was it the end of us too? How was I to face her. I went into the bathroom, washed my face and wrapped a robe around me. "Good Morning Sleepy Head" came her cheerful voice. "Mornin Ally" "Thought you were getting your beauty rest today.. but then it dawned on me.. If you were after a 'beauty' rest.. you would be sleeping for a few years, don't ya think?" She said giggling. She was her good old cheerful self...never failing to lay some wise crack at me. "Looked in the mirror lately? Or is the reflection still ducking with fright?" I retorted. "Ouch!!...That was low Tara" "Hey..you asked for it" She seemed to be okay and didn't show a sign of anything unusual happening last night.. I guess in the end the brandy got to her and she forgot about it all. Acknowledging this.. i realized that all my worries were unnecessary and settled down at the table with a smile to enjoy my bacon, eggs, toast and coffee. "Thanks for breakfast" "Don't mention it. You'll do lunch" she said grinning. "What are we doing today anyway?" "Unbeknownst to you, yesterday I got us an appointment.. and we have a day of pampering ahead of us." "Really?!" She seemed intrigued. "Yep. Facial, manicure, pedicure, the works" I said grinning broadly.. "That's for 1:00" "I should come by for more weekends with you then" "Hey don't think its all good, we've got work first...the car needs washing down." "And who, exactly, is washing it down?" "We are" "WE??" "Yes WE..or else WE are not going to get any facials".. I grinned at her "uhh..hmm.....my bad... we better get to washing then" I laughed out loud... "so I thought!!" With that we cleared the table and I went to put on some clothes. I jumped into some shorts and a tank top and went out to find Allana already hosing down the car. I grabbed a bucket and some sponges and set out. We did the majority of the car and I was about to move on to the tires. "See its easy" I said to her bending to wash the rims "just a little elbow grease" "I know" With that I felt a splash of water on my back. "oops...sorry" "Now I know you did that on purpose" I yelled "Ohhh, am I gonna get you" I dashed my sponge right at her and like two little kids we began a water fight. She, having the hose, won easily. "Okay okay..you aint paying my water bill" I said, half laughing half yelling. "So you lose both ways" she said shrieking. I went back to scrubbing the rims while she began drying the top of the car. I couldn't help but notice as she stretched forward her nipples printing through the wet fabric of her white t-shirt. It was quite a sight, and my mind was beginning to wander like my eyes had. Her movements seemed slower than normal, a bit seductive, I wondered if she was doing it on purpose or was I just imagining things. I had to be, she had no recollection of last night, right? As she bent over., my eyes roamed down to her tight ass, and down her wet sleek legs. The lustful feeling was there again. I was now very aroused, but I had to try to mask it. I attempted to focus my attention totally on the work at hand. Last night was bad enough, I thought, it was a good thing that she didn't remember, but I didn't want my impulsiveness to cause anything today. I kept my eyes fixed on the tires and struggled to continue, as I listened to her hum the tune of a hit calypso. We were finished with the car in the next 15 minutes. Packing up the sponges and buckets we went back inside. "Goodness.. look at the time..we will never make it on time" I shouted seeing the wall clock. It was 12:30. "Lets just shower together and save some time" Ally said. Innocent suggestion though it was, I was reluctant, but how was I to turn it down without possibly awakening a memory of last night? We undressed and went into the shower. As she turned on the tap the unexpected happened. "Tara..about last night", I froze. Gawd!! Was I totally wrong about her forgetting it? "Before you say anything...listen I am really sorry about last night. But I wasn't by any means drunk. I knew what I was doing when I did it. Its. Its just that your honesty with me took my love for you to another level and believe it or not, your massage got to me in more ways than you think. You brought feelings alive in me that I didn't know existed and when you rejected me...well...I don't know... it hurt". "Ally sweetie, I - I'm so sorry I didn't mean in any way to hurt you. You know how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I would hate to lose you over sudden, impromptu foolish mistakes or advances by either one of us" "It may have been sudden, but I do want you Tara. I was up for a large portion of the night after I left you, and while I have never been with or woman, nor even thought of it, I suddenly feel a strong yearning to be with you. But I don't want it or anything to mess up our relationship either". "Good. Then we will just play it by ear. Deal?" I reached out to her and we embraced. Her naked body felt marvelous against mine. Her breasts rubbing against mine turned me on greatly and I knew she felt it too. Her nipples hardened against my skin. "Deal" She said slapping me lightly on my butt cheek. What before would have been a playful gesture, now sent jolts of electricity shooting through me to the very core of my sexuality. "okay..okay..enough mushiness, we're late" I said jokingly, hoping to god that the huskiness in my voice wasn't evident. We finished showering and rushed out of the bathroom dressing hurriedly. I, in a sundress and she in shorts and a tank top. We headed off to our afternoon of pampering. * * * The afternoon was lovely. We loved being pampered. But it was also a bit tiring for it was long process and we left the Salon around 6:30 pm. We drove home enjoying the last hues of the glorious sunset that we are blessed with here in the Caribbean, listening to some soothing Jazz on the radio. When we got home, we threw ourselves on the sofa, the tiredness had now fully set in. I checked the answering machine, there were two messages. I played the first and David's voice filled the room. "Allana, I'm sorry you had to go through that last night, please call me." I looked over to Allana. I saw a softness in her eyes and then it clouded over. She seemed totally unconcerned. I thought it would have upset her. If it did she masked it really well. "Better be sorry!" she muttered. The next message was from Daniel. I smiled at hearing his voice. It had been around four days since he last called. I seldom called him. It was usually difficult for me to get hold of him. He said he was always on the move, in different areas. I only had a mobile phone number for him. He said it was pointless and expensive putting a phone in his apartment, seeing that he had the mobile. But I am always so happy when he calls. It frustrated me that I missed his call. I checked the time it came in. It was 10 minutes ago. Maybe I could still get him, I thought. I dialed his number, but was greeted with the usual thing, the phone just rang out. I guessed I just missed him. Hopefully he would call back later. "Miss him, huh?" Allana asked as I put down the phone. "So much. I wish I could talk to him as often as I liked". "He'll call back". "I know" I guess I sounded a bit sad and Allana dropped he subject "Hey, your turn to cook" she said grinning. "What do you feel like?" I was still bummed about missing the phone call but decided to forget about it and brighten up for he would call again. "Anything you can muster up" "How about Chinese" I asked her. "Chinese??!" she said, alarmed, "since when you became an international chef" I began to laugh "I've always been. You didn't know?" I asked with faked innocence "And get this, the only utensil I need to prepare my magnificent cooking is the telephone" "You cheat!!" Allana shouted, breaking out laughing. "What did you think? I aint gonna damage my just-done nails in the kitchen!!" "I give up with you" she said smiling. I picked up the phone and called the restaurant. I ordered wantons and two combination meals, sweet and sour chicken for her and shrimp for me. I gave them the directions and they promised to be here in 45 minutes. I picked up a magazine that I took with me from he salon and sat going through it. "It's a pity we got all dolled up and aren't going to go show ourselves off" Allana said, flipping through the pages of another magazine. "Yeah, but I'm too beat". "Hey, I've got an idea" "Anything but going out" I responded. "No, we're not going out. But...We're all pretty, right? Pretty feet, pretty nails, hair, but no one to show besides each other. So, how about we... "Take some photos" I blurted out before she got the chance to finish. "Hey!!.. My idea. You could have waited for me to finish and then agreed" Allana said laughing. "Sorry..guess great minds think alike.. in this case, together. What are we waiting on then. Lets go" This *was* a good idea. Since I always had an interest in photography, I always had my camera and a supply of film available. I never turned down an opportunity to use the camera. I pulled Allana up off the sofa and headed into my room. Finding the camera and removing it from the case I asked "Who's first?" "You are", Allana replied. I did a few in the dress and sandals I had on, striking different poses around the bedroom. Then went to change into shorts, a halter and boots going through a few more shots. "Okay, com'n lets get to some good stuff, take them off." Her suggestion startled me. "You better be referring to my boots" I said laughing "Yep those too.. On second thought keep the boots, lose the rest." "Not a chance in hell" "Prude!!" "You're calling *me* prude???" "Yes I am!!" "Well..lets see you take yours off. Your turn" "With pleasure!" she said emphatically "You've got to be kidding me"! "Why, who will be looking? Only you." "Yes, but who will be developing?" "Oh don't you worry about that" she said handing the camera to me. "Let me show you how its done". I smiled at her fiery, impulsive spirit. She did a few poses in the top and shorts she had on, some sitting on the edge of the bed, others standing. She then began to lift the top up over her breasts, revealing a blue lace bra. My fingers seldom stopped clicking, capturing every moment of this. She put her hands on her hips and I took a few more. "Now it gets better!" she said grinning. She slowly unzipped her pants and I captured her movements. She turned sideways and bent slowly tugging the pants down. They slid nicely over her ass. She bent seductively, lowering the pants. I tried my best to continue with the shots as I went around her, capturing her from behind. Her ass and thong clad crotch, clearly exposed to the camera lens. I couldn't believe this. I felt myself growing warm and wet, and the familiar tingling sensation started. I was becoming so aroused from this show that Allana was putting on for me. She as playing with fire, God!! Did she know it? She slowly straightened up and unclasped the back of her bra, lowering the strap on her shoulders. The camera captured each movement. She turned around to face me and lowered the bra from her breasts. Her nipples were erect so I could tell that she was enjoying this. Did she know how much *I* was enjoying it though? She cupped her breasts, and smiled a seductive smile at the camera. "And now for the Grande finale" she announced. She tugged the waist of her thong over her hips. I stopped the clicking of the camera. I couldn't believe she was going to do this. I lowered he camera "You are serious aren't you?" She grinned wickedly "You just noticed? Get back to work." She sat at the edge of the bed, spreading her legs, Her pussy was so beautiful. Oh how I wanted to reach out and touch her, to bury my head between those lovely legs and devour this beauty that as being presented to me. Before I got the chance to snap. She placed her hands between her legs, obstructing my view of her womanhood. "I am not *that* crazy to let you take a picture of *everything*" She said. I was relived that she did this for I didn't want these pictures ending up in the wrong hands. A bare pussy *was* extreme. But I was also disappointed, for she cut off my view. I wanted to see her neat patch of hair again. Her rosy lips, her little bud. I was so hot. What wouldn't I give right now to have her on my tongue. My thoughts and my clicks were interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell. Allana, wrapped my robe around her body and headed out to get it. I followed in my boots, shorts and halter, grabbing my purse from the table. I handed the money to Allana who in turn gave it to the delivery guy. I didn't know how I looked but I felt very flushed. I hoped it didn't show. After Allana closed the door, I announced that I was going to go shower. I didn't look at her or wait for an answer, for fear of revealing the thoughts that were going through my head. I changed, grabbed my towel and headed off to the bathroom. I decided to have a cold shower, hoping that it would cool me down'. As the coldwater it my body, I shivered and my nipples grew taut. I impulsively reached up pinching them, sending jolts of electricity through my body. I couldn't help myself. I leaned back against the shower wall and my hand sought out my pussy. My quivering pussy that needed attention. I began to rub it wildly needing quick release of the pressure that had built up in me. In a matter of seconds, I came, biting my lips, forcing back a moan. I sank lower on the wall, giving my body a chance to recover. "Hey, the water is running, but you're not bathing. Hurry up. The food is getting cold" I jumped at the intrusion of her voice. Oh my goodness!!. Did she suspect what I was doing. Did she hear my gasp? What if she knows? I felt guilty and embarrassed. I finished showering, trying hard to ignore the pulsing between my legs. I patted myself dry and headed toward my room. As i changed, I heard the water turn on as Allana began her shower. I applied cream to my body, slipped on panties and put on my robe that Allana had placed on my bed, for after we ate, we would most likely pack it in for the night. I came out to the dining room table where Allana had already set out the food. While I waited for her, I flipped through the TV guide checking for what was on the tube tonight. She came out moments later in her chemise. I assumed she was thinking like I had that we'd have dinner and call it a day. We ate our meal, laughing at her boldness in our 'photo shoot' earlier. I was able to laugh at it, but my thoughts were altogether on a different level. If she only knew how much she affected me... I saw a good film coming up abit later, "Fire starter" and suggested it to her, we agreed to watch it in my room. After eating we cleared the able and Allana did he dishes. I took up the guide and the magazines and headed off to my room. Lying on the bed I began flicking through the different channels. The movie was not for another hour and a half so I turned off the tv. Allana joined me in a few minutes and we talked again about the pictures, how neither one of us was able to wait to get them developed. Apparently Allana had a very good friend who was a Professional photographer. She said he would be willing to allow us to use his lab to develop them. "You sure he would let us use his lab?" "Of course, I picked up almost everything I know about photography from him" "oohhhh...so that's why you were so eager to take the photos!!" I said grinning. "I'm not dumb you know. No-one else would get the privilege of developing my nude pics but me." We fell quiet as we lay on my bed going through the magazines. I, lying across the middle of the bead, and Ally lower down with her feet dangling off the side, her head resting on my hip. A Reawakening Ch. 1 I was looking at one of the many *must have* outfits, thinking of what event was coming up that I could wear it to when Allana muttered something. "Hmm?" "What's it like?" From my angle I couldn't see her face as she was flipping through the TV Guide Mag. "What is what like?" "You know, to make love to a woman" This caught me of guard, and I wasn't exactly sure how to answer her. I felt that I needed to speak about this freely with her. After all, it was out in the open now and we've always had a great relationship. But, her question also sent me back into the past to remember a lover I'd had. She was such a passionate and receptive lover. Her name was Kelly. We had some great times together. She was similar in stature to Allana, same beautiful complexion, athletic legs, firm ass, and wonderful small breasts. Breasts that I so loved, to touch, to suck, to bite... "It is the most beautiful thing in the world Ally." I said dreamily "A woman can be so sensual with her body, and in her mind. She is subtle, she is passionate, she is wild. Don't get me wrong, a man can be all those things as well, but with a woman" I paused thinking "It is... its just.. different. Her body is so sexy, her femininity so alluring, so..." I trailed off. "My, my, my...looks like I sent you down memory lane" she said, peeking up at me with a slight grin. "You have no idea" "Sooo...com'n.. tell me!!" she put down the magazine and moved up to lay next to me. "About what?" "Your lovers" "I've had a few lovers, some being great teachers, others, great learners" "Mmm Hmm?" she said, probing for more, and as if trying to show me her seriousness, she grabbed me by the waist and turned me on my side to face her. "They've been all beautiful experiences." I said, not certain exactly what she wanted to know about. "Go on." "I don't know Ally, What do you want to know, what do you want me to tell you? Ask specific things...I'll be able to tell you better." "Honestly Tara..." she said softly "I don't want you to tell me anything" I looked at her quizzically "I want you to show me" "You what?!.. I mean, I *know* what you mean. But.. are you serious?!?" Her hand left its resting position on my waist and she slowly undid my robe, exposing my bare breasts, stomach and thighs. She trailed her finger down to my navel. The sensation that it brought on was overwhelming. She lingered there a while, tracing it. Then using her nails, crawled up stopping in the middle of my breasts. All the while she was maintaining eye contact. I saw a tenderness in her eyes, but within that tenderness, was the look of a sultry woman, who would love nothing more than to tease me. "Do you have any idea what you are doing to me Ally" "I do, which is why I'm doing it" she lowered her head kissing my neck lightly, starting just under my chin and trailing her tongue down to the hollow between my collarbones. I gasped. "Ally.. Ally are you *sure*?" "God Tara!! Yes yes. I want you to make love to me. I need you to." I reached around to the back of her head with one hand and holding her chin gently with the other, I kissed her lightly on her lips. There wasn't any hesitancy from her as her lips parted. But I intended to take it slowly. I flicked my tongue out tracing the out line of her lips, caressing them gently. I slowly sucked in her bottom lip while my hand caressed her neck. Probing further, I now entered her mouth caressing her tongue with mine. Seeking and claiming her as she surrendered to me, our lips and tongues were caught up in a fiery dance of passion. The thudding of my pulse added to the rhythm. Her hips moved in closer to mine. I was amazed at how responsive she was. I broke our kiss and rolled her unto her back. I looked at her, savoring the tenderness of the moment, watching the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest, listening to her shallow, contented breathing. I trailed kisses from her neck down between her breasts as far as her chemise let me, sucking on her skin, lightly nipping at her soft flesh. I lifted the hem of her chemise pulling it up, revealing her smooth caramel skin, wanting to devour her desperately. She lifted, allowing me to raise it over her head. Her breasts were now exposed to the cool air. Her taut nipples were a tempting invitation to my anxious lips. I slowly kissed around them. She arched her back, beckoning me to take her nipple. I quickly flicked my tongue over one nipple, first feeling then watching it grow firmer. I loved the changes in her body. Changes that I brought on. Tracing the outline of her areole, I slowly sucked her nipple into my mouth. She moaned softly in appreciation of this gesture. I changed nipples, administering the same treatment while my fingers twisted the moist one I had just released. I was lost in her body, mesmerized by her responsiveness as her moaning escalated and she began fervently grinding her pussy against my thigh. I slid my body lower down hers, kissing her tight stomach as I traveled south. My fingers continuing to administer their pleasures to her breast. I moved my mouth over her panty clad pubes, kissing her, smelling her beautiful aroma. I went back up and stopped at the elastic waist band of her thong. I took it between my teeth pulling it down. Releasing her breasts for a moment, I used my hands to peel her thong down over her legs and off her feet as she arched her ass off the bed. Slowly I began my ascent, kissing my way up her legs, kissing the inside of her ankles. I continued massaging with my fingers as I went along. When I got to her inner thighs, she lifted her pelvis, beckoning me in to her love nest. I continued kissing and nibbling at her thighs, bathing my senses in the silken feeling of her skin. Placing my hands under her ass, I gently lifted her bottom off the bed and began to kiss her firm cheeks, occasionally nipping them with my teeth. She was trembling with excitement and with the frustration. I knew she wanted my mouth on her womanhood and though I would have enjoyed teasing her, I myself could take it no longer. I lifted my head and ran the tip of my tongue just barely over the hair surrounding her pussy, the initial taste of her pussy juices on my tongue brought my taste buds to life. I shrugged off my loose hanging robe and spreading her legs wider, I settled comfortably between them. I immediately moved my mouth over her slit, which was releasing a now steady trickle of thick feminine lubricant as it ran slowly down her ass crack leaving a shiny trail across her tightly puckered entrance. The strong, musky flavour of her sex was like an overpowering drug for me, one which I had gone way too long without. It was all the encouragement I needed as memories of my love life with women came flooding in. I began to slowly, but very firmly, massage her inner lips with my tongue, working first one side and then the other. It seemed that she liked this very much, as she pushed her hips up off the bed, increasing the pressure of my tongue on her pussy. I continued the tongue massage for a while then pulled a fast trick on her. I darted my tongue to her pleasure bud. The sudden attack of her clit evoked a deep, guttural groan and Allana's hands flew to my head. She began wildly humping her pussy against my tongue and chin. But I didn't want to excite her too much, not to the point of cumming. I wanted to make this as long and pleasurable for her as possible. But not just for her, for me as well, for I have missed this so much. The feel of another woman, her unique musky aroma filling my nostrils and tantalizing my taste buds. I slowly ceased my assault on her clit and tried to pry her fingers from my head. When I heard her breathing become easy and her body begin to relax, I slowly took her thick outer pussy lips into my mouth sucking on them. At varied intervals, I flicked my tongue out directly over her slit, tasting her love juice. I would go back to her lips, working my tongue back and forth as I sucked. Allana began to make a mewing sound from somewhere deep in the back of her throat. Her eyes were shut tight and she had both her hands to her breasts. She was rolling her nipples in her fingers, occasionally pulling on them. I was still working her outer lips one at a time, sucking them into my mouth, pulling them away from her crotch, causing her to lift her hips off the bed to stay with me, working them with my tongue. I moved my index finger to her ass crack, rubbing it in the juices flowing from her pussy. I stopped over her puckered bud, tracing tiny circles. This seemed to bring on a new sensation and with very nudge of my finger, I felt a slight tremor. Her juices already paving the way for fulfillment, I applied more pressure, feeling my finger cross the first ring of muscle. She began to rock her hips attempting to force more of my finger into her, making it a challenge for me to stay with her. Her breathing was ragged between clenched teeth as her orgasm approached. She was squealing her pleasure now, her head thrashing from side to side on the pillow. In between squeals she was mumbling about how good it felt and how close she was to coming. I continued with my tongue lashing on her marvelous pussy, running my tongue quickly around her inner pussy lips and clitoris trying not to touch the hypersensitive bud. I continued with the probing of her ass, and then using my fingers to expose every nook of her responsive pussy lips, I ran my tongue between her folds. And then I felt it. Allana grabbed the bed sheets, gripping them tightly a she began to come. I immediately began to flick the head of her large erect clit with the tip of my tongue. Allana screamed as her pleasure sensors overloaded and her whole body tensed then relaxed, as wave after wave of pleasure overtook her. I unrelentingly kept up my assault on her clit, holding her hips trying to keep with her as she thrashed wildly, murmuring incomprehensible phrases. A series of powerful short orgasms followed and I gradually ceased my tongue action on her clit. As I felt her body cruise back down, I looked up at her and she was looking down at me from between her breasts, a dreamy smile of sexual satisfaction on her face. Giving her pussy a last lingering, sucking, kiss; I moved from between her legs to lay beside her panting body. I rolled over to her firm breast, slowly circling her nipple with my tongue. I placed my hand over her still quivering pussy and gently massaged the entire area. "Mmm..Gawd Tara. That was...*the*...best someone has ever sucked my pussy" she said dreamily. "you were great!!" I slowly removed my fingers from her still weakly clenching vagina and brought hem to my lips, licking off the thick coating of her liquid femininity. "No no baby..*you* are great" I said beaming from the pleasure of just being between her legs. "Never thought it could be like this with a woman" gushed Ally. "No?then you would love to know that this isn't even half of the joys of a female lover" I cooed then gently bit into her nipple. Her body jerked in response to my teeth. "Ohh my goodness!!..then I've been missing out!!.. I still don't think it gets too much more than this." "That's where you're wrong Ally" "Will I get to find out?" she asked anxiously. "Maybe. But I think you've had enough for one night" "B-but, I haven't even touched you, yet?" came her panicky cry. "Don't you worry Sugar. You'll get the chance to explore my body. Patience is a virtue." I said rolling her unto her side and spooning her body, feeling her smooth ass against my stomach. "Tomorrow". We laid there like that for quite some time, enjoying the warmth and cozy comfort of being snuggled together. I cupped her breast and kissed the nape of her neck as gradually her body went limp as she fell asleep. * * * I hope you have enjoyed it. Look forward to more on Tara and Allana.
