"Yeah, I can do that. How will I recognize you?"Elena heard the smile through the phone line."Just look for the little blond girl who looks like she shouldn't be there. That'll be me. See you tonight. Bye."Elena didn't know what to think about that description. She immediately thought about the drive and how long she would be gone. She almost called back to cancel. She wanted to be at home just in case Damien came back. However, she knew that if she stayed home tonight in that empty quiet house with his smells and the memories, she'd go nuts. No, I have to go. She stood up and went to mark's office door."Thanks, mark, I appreciate your help with this. By the way, who is she? That was a slightly strange phone conversation."Elena watched as mark hesitated to tell her, and then grinned."She's my 'baby' sister. But don't let the voice or her looks fool you. She's a genius, and I don't mean in a casual way either. She's the smartest person I know. That's all I'm going to say. You'll
"Hello, I'm Marie. Nice to meet you."There was that sweet lilt to her voice again, but Elena still couldn't place it."Hi, I'm Elena. Nice to meet you too."They shook hands and Elena was surprised at how warm and strong this little girl's hands were."What would you like to drink?"Marie had a small smile on her face, just a hint of one. Her eyes caught Elenw off guard; they were pale blue, almost white. They sparkled in the dim tavern lighting."Uh, I don't know. What are you drinking?"Elena wasn't sure if she really wanted anything, she was really here to talk, not drink. Marie had just little more smile now, when she turned to the bartender."Joe, fix my new friend here an Irish boilermaker."Joe gave her a look that Elena didn't know what to think of, and then he grabbed large pint glass and pulled the tap on the bar. The thick black beer rolled down the side of the glass and the dark tan head formed as it filled. He set the pint on the counter in from of her and then he put a
"Yeah, well. Life sucks, doesn't it. All Mark told me was that you were a walking coma case waiting to happen and that you had mentioned a lover leaving you. If you want to talk about it, I am an excellent listener. I judge no one and I can only offer a shoulder to cry on if you need it.""Mark likes you and he told me that you were a nice person who didn't need another pile of crap in your life right now. So, here I am. I'm willing to call you a friend on my brother's word. He doesn't do that for just anybody, so you must be okay."Marie was looking at Elena with seriousness in her eyes that seemed out of place on that elfin face. Elenw thought about what she said and looked into her drink for a few seconds then looked back at Marie."Yeah, I could stand to have a good friend right now. I'm not sure if I'm ready to spill my guts about everything but I'm willing to talk to you and get to know you better."Elena was almost back to her previous dead state again by the time she finished
Marie stood there looking down at the sleeping form on her couch. Yeah, mark was right. She's cute and sexy as hell. However, she knew one thing mark didn't. Elena wasn't gay. She knew that the second they made eye contact in the bar. Oh, well. She hated being the rebound girl, unless the sex was awesome, then it was okay.Marie looked down at Elena with a soft smile, yeah, she was really cute and she's just my type. Tall, strong and smart; the really long auburn hair in that braid was a bonus too. Those perky breasts hiding under that sweatshirt and those hips and ohhh those long legs! Those cute long feet, and those green eyes. Damn it! I have to stop doing this to myself.She looked at Elena's face and watched as she murmured again. She was irresistible. Marie couldn't stop herself. She leaned over and kissed Elena on the end of her cute nose, softly, just enough to make contact. She smiled and murmured again."Mmmhhhmm, I love you too, fuzzy-face."Then Elena's face went dark and
Elena had opened her eyes and panicked. Where the hell was she? She didn't recognize anything. She was still dressed, so that's a good thing, she thought. She smelled coffee. She didn't hear anything but a few small noises coming from what she guessed was the kitchen.She looked around again; the house was definitely decorated by a woman. No man would have that kind of artwork on his wall. There were little knick-knacks on shelves and scented candles on the bookcases. Yeah, there's definitely a woman who lives here. Thinking this hard in the morning made her head hurt even worse. She moaned when a particularly bad spasm made her feel like her head was going to split open and her brain was going to fall out."Good Morning sunshine! How's the braincase this morning? Not too sore I hope?"Elena looked over to see Lena in a pair of short shorts and a tight t-shirt holding a steaming cup of coffee. Marie offered it to Elena and she took it carefully, trying not to let her shaking hands ma
Marie's voice didn't have any more inflection on it with the first option as the second, so Elena took the offer a face value. Then she thought about work. Damn! I'm going to be late."Well, I'd love to stay and take a shower but I've got to rush home and get to work."Elena was looking for her shoes when she heard Lena chuckle. She turned to see what was so funny."You can't be late for work, dear. mark gave you the day off."Marie was grinning. Elena didn't remember marie saying anything to her about it."I don't remember mark mentioning that before I left yesterday."marie winked at her and grinned."mark gave me specific instructions yesterday. I was to try to get you to come out of your shellshock no matter how long it took and that if you had to stay overnight, he was going to give you the day off to do so. Well, I succeeded a little bit and you still have the day off. Oh, and he said to tell you that if you're worried about your paycheck, don't be, it's an extra day of paid vac
Elena didn't know how to feel about this. It was obvious that at some point in the night or early morning, Marie had played with herself. That she hadn't washed it off yet was slightly disconcerting. She thought about Marie's behavior towards her last night and then this morning, coupled with the scent of herself pleasure on her fingers, and found herself a little confused.She knew that she liked the taste of herself on her fingers, but she had never smelled another woman before. It was the same, yet different. She sniffed again, and thought to herself, it's sort of nice. Then she really surprised herself; she had the sudden urge to put Marie's fingers in her mouth to taste them. This made her blush.marie was feeling warm and content with herself. She was finally doing what she had wanted to do from then second she saw Elena at the bar last night, hold her in her arms. To have that beautiful face against her chest, to have Elena's long arms wrapped around her. She hummed in contentm
She understood that Lena was attracted to her and that just a few seconds before she had been willing to let marie do whatever she wanted to. Now, this; marie had not led her to the bedroom, but to a luxurious custom bathtub with a whirlpool built into it. Her relief was immense, but she was also just a little disappointed.Elena frowned at that thought. She started to do what marie had asked. She took off all her clothes and bundled them up. She went to the door and opened it just enough to peek around. Lena was standing there waiting for her."Here, we'll trade. Put this on when you're done."Marie took Elena's clothes and handed her an oversized super fluffy terrycloth robe. Elena nodded gratefully and smiled. She closed the bathroom door and hung the robe on the hook on the back of the door. She stepped over to the custom bathtub and looked at the controls. They were fairly self-explanatory, so she started the hot water and looked around the bathroom. She spotted the bath oil, and
