Lesbian Erotica Preview:  The Sequel (The Story of Rachel and Vicky)
by P. Kristen Enos

(Originally posted January 31, '10.  All rights reserved.)

Author's Comments:  I decided to post the parts online as I write them to force myself to actually commit to the story, otherwise it'll continue to be lost in the massive shuffle of projects in my brain.  Plus, after seeing the web hits report for the site so far, it's clear what projects people REALLY want me to spend time on.  (You people are so predictable.)

Keep in mind, this is a draft of what to expect.  The final version that will be published (and what I will ultimately keep as the official site teaser) is very much up to revisions.

Oh, and if you're expecting a repeat story of "Deseo", I'm not interested in doing the frustrated straight woman having first time lesbian encounter again.  So be prepared for something very different because this is another type of story to tell.  :)


Prologue

“Beep! Beep!” Rachel yelled as she maneuvered the dolly of boxes through the maze of barely organized chaos in the apartment.  She took advantage of the momentarily empty hallway to her target room. “Delivery of lesbo porn coming through!”

She almost sucked in her tongue upon seeing the mother of said owner of porn standing in the middle of the bedroom with an armful of clothes.  Before she could explain that she was kidding (even though she wasn’t) and that she hadn’t expected them to arrive this soon, she was frozen by the pointed look from over those elegant glasses.

Maggie gave a casual nod towards the closet and said dryly, “Put it over there. With everything else she tries to hide from me.”

Rachel knew better than to comment as she flashed a weak smile and did what she was told.

She glanced over at the woman and noted yet again she was a twenty-year older version of her best friend.  From the elegant, pretty features to the deadpan style.

Realizing that this was the first time the two had been alone in the day of flurried activity, Rachel remarked, “It seems the last time I saw you and Rob was when Vicky had moved in with Carla.”

“Oh, I know that,” the older woman remarked.  “I should invite you to an event that isn’t related to moving my daughter’s possessions.  How many times has it been now?  Seven or eight?  Over, what, ten years or so?”

“Something like that,” she answered, not wanting to bother trying to figure it out.  “She told me that she was tired of moving so I think she’ll be settled for a while.”

“And that’s the only reason why I’m glad she moved in by herself,” she commented as she moved the boxes marked ‘clothes’ closer to the dressers.  “It’s tiring trying to determine if she has a roommate with a capitol ‘R’ or a little ‘r’.  And when I figure it out, it changes!  And then it changes again!”

Rachel had to stifle a snort of a laugh.  “And you’re not concerned about her living by herself?”

“Of course I am.  That mom thing, you know.  -- And how are things with you and… um --?”

“I’m currently single,” Rachel quickly answered before suffering the awkwardness of a guess that could be a couple of names too old.

“Well then, why don’t you move in with her again?” Maggie suddenly suggested, the speed of her question being the only indication of true enthusiasm.

“I can’t.  I’m committed to a lease with my roommates… Little ‘r’s.”

Maggie gave her a slight smirk.  “I thought so since the word was plural.”

“True,” Rachel said verbally even though she thought ‘Not necessarily.’  As progressive as Maggie was, she didn’t think the older woman was going to be as understanding with the thought of three person relationships.

“But if things go sour with my roommates when the lease is up, Vicky did offer for me to move in to the second bedroom.”

“Well, then there’s something to look forward to.”

“Hey!” her husband’s voice bellowed through the apartment.  “All hands are needed for the couch!  This includes women, of all orientations and levels of butchness!”

The women exchanged a look and a smile at their cue to help.

Chapter 1

Rachel snuck a peak over the menu and then silently chuckled to herself when she realized she really didn’t have to be so stealth.  Her dinner companion can be quite oblivious when she’s focused on a task, even one so seemingly simple as deciding on which meal to choose.

Vicky, the other woman in question, sat with her eyes completely focused on the menu, methodically reading each word of the descriptions before deciding if an entrée was worth putting on her “possible” list for revisiting before a final decision.  Freshly showed from a day of moving activities, she was at her most simple public presentation: her light brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and very little make-up to compliment her button up shirt and jeans.  No overly done hair and make-up.  No perfectly dry-cleaned corporate look.

Rachel had to admit that she liked Vicky best when she looked like this.

Focusing back on the task at hand, Rachel put the menu down and teased, “You know, including dessert, I’ve calculated that you’re only paying me about $2 an hour for helping you move.”

Vicky immediately peered up at her over the menu and stated simply, “Well, then if you want to go to a more expensive place, decide now before I set my mind on something.”

Her tone was so precise that anyone else would think she was serious and defensive.  But Rachel knew her long-time friend better than that and grinned in triumph. “I think you owe me a movie too.”

Vicky rolled her eyes and returned to focusing them on the menu.  Yet she did add, “Another time then.  I don’t think I have it in me for too long of a night.”

“Me neither,” Rachel said as she let out a small yawn.

The noise attracted Vicky's attention and she now looked genuinely concerned.  “Are you certain you want to stay?  We can always do take-out instead.  At least, I think they do take-out.”

“I’m fine.  Besides, I wanted to go out for dinner because the boxes were making me claustrophobic.”

“That’s a very interesting comment given your own sense of domestic organization.”

Rachel grinned at the tease.  “That’s why I like visiting you.  It reminds me what an organized home should look like.”

“Ladies? Can I take your drink orders now?” the waiter asked, with his eyes focused on Vicky, as expected.

Rachel got a certain kick out of watching people interact with her friend.  Vicky was naturally stunning but genuinely oblivious to it.

“Rach, have you decided what you want to drink?”

“I’ll take a bottle of your most popular local brew.”

The waiter nodded and wrote it down.  “And for you, miss?”

Vicky arched an eyebrow at the title but quickly answered, “Same.”

“And are you ready to order an appetizer or a dinner?”

“Ask us again when you return with our drinks,” Vicky said simply, giving him her most pleasant smile.

The young man blushed a bit and turned away to do what he was told.

Rachel waited until he was out of earshot but commenting with a wiggle of her eyebrows, “Wow, he was taken with you."

“Was he?” Vicky asked as she took a sip of water but a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. “Sometimes I think you imagine things.”
