Enjoy reading...
CHAPTER 1
Alex was 15 years old at the time and she hung around the beach a lot with the boys as she had the years before. This one day she was wearing boxers and a wife beater over her bikini as she had been surfing before. Her dark brown hairs with the clear blue highlights - that have given her mother an almost heart-attack and caused her father to laugh out loud - were still wet from the salt water, hanging loosely down on her shoulders, drying in the sun.
They were running after each other, laughing playing catch me if you can as if they were still little kids, the only difference, they all have had several beers and found the play extremely funny. Darren, a muscular boy with long curly black hairs - Alex’s best friend - was chasing after her, laughing. She looked back at him and wanted to say something teasing when all the air was suddenly pressed out of her lungs and she collided with something or rather someone.
She fell, panting for air, only slowly realizing what was happening. She felt flesh under her and a leg move in between of her legs in a way that caused her to gasp for air. The warmth of the body below her was penetrating through Alex’ wet clothes. When she turned her head to look at whom she had collided with she was greeted by a cheeky smile:
“You know, you could have asked, I wouldn’t have said no!”
For a moment she just starred at the girl with the puckered up lips, ready to be kissed. Her heart started beating faster and adrenaline rushed through her but she didn’t kiss her. She was too afraid, aware of all the people around, her friends who knew nothing about her feelings towards other girls.
She jumped, realizing in what kind of situation she was. Darren, who had been able to stop before crushing into the two girls, caught Alex in his arms as he was standing too close and Alex hadn’t seen him behind her. He laughed:
"Easy Lex!"
He reached out his hand for the small brunette still lying in the sand:
“Sorry!”
he said on behalf of Alex who seemed to have forgotten her manners, or speech for that matter.
The brunette, still smiling cheekily took his hand and got up.
“You know, I don’t mind getting thrown into sand by beautiful girls!”
She winked at Alex who was still standing close by, speechless. Darren just laughed:
“I can relate to that!”
he said, smiling at Alex. He could see her squirm on the inside, trying to figure out her emotions. He was the only one who knew about her feelings towards other girls and he saw a chance when it hit him in the arse and he would take it, for his friend's sake:
“I’m Darren, this speechless girl that ran into you is Alex, and who are you?”
he asks, introducing them.
“Jodie!”
the girl answered smiling at Alex:
“Lovely to meet you!”
she said not really looking at Darren at all but looking Alex up and down suggestively.
Probably exactly because of that look she gave Alex another girl approached them, a lanky redhead. She didn’t mind introducing herself, instead she wrapped her arms around Jodie’s naked and toned stomach, kissing her neck.
Alex’ eyes almost fell out of her head while she watched the two interact. Until that day she had never seen to girls going at it. Darren as well was gaping at the two girls. He had thought about getting Jodie and Alex together but Jodie obviously was already off the market.
Jodie though - after a moment of enjoying the attention from the redhead - wriggled out of her embrace:
“This rude lady here is Jerry, sorry, she’s a little crazy, thinks we’re a couple!”
she glared at the girl who took a step back:
“Geez, I thought it was only talk but you really are a slut!”
she said and turned around and walked away, obviously not very pleased with how things turned out.
Darren and Alex, as well as Caden - another friend of Alex’ - who had joined the two friends were staring at Jodie as if she was something they had never seen before, which they haven’t actually.
The brunette only laughed and shrugged her shoulders:
“Just so you know, I’m not a slut, I just enjoy myself now and then. Better than doing it yourself!”
she grinned and looked at Alex directly:
“If you like to enjoy yourself, meet me tonight at the Palace, you know the Palace?”
Alex could only nod her head which made Jodie smirk:
“Okay see you then!”
she said, sure that Alex will be there walking off towards her blanket which was now laying there alone as Jerry had gathered her things and had left.
Caden looked at the other two as every teenage boy looks at someone who had just witnessed his wildest phantasy coming true.
“Did you see that, I wish she wouldn’t have stopped the girl from kissing her!”
he then said, looking after Jodie in a dreamlike state. Darren hit him on the back of his head playfully, laughing.
“Let’s get back to the others!”
he suggested and Caden walked on towards their blankets immediately which left Darren room to talk Alex out of her stupor.
“You know, you should go, tonight!”
he suggested and immediately got her attention.
“You think?”
she asked whispering, afraid anyone else would overhear. Darren smiled encouragingly at his best friend.
“This is your chance Lex, find out if it is for real!”
he said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, guiding her back towards their friends. For the rest of the afternoon Alex was elsewhere with her mind, Darren knew exactly where and covered for her.
Still her friends started to wonder what had happened over there and Caden’s fantasies run wild. He made a note to himself to check out this club if he was right.
Meanwhile Alex didn’t really care about any of this. All she could think of was how much at ease Jodie had been with the redhead kissing her. As if it was the most normal thing to do. Not something that was not right, not something you had to be ashamed for. It amazed her the way Jodie had talked about being with girls, how bluntly she had flirted with her, not knowing or caring if she was gay or not. It intrigued her. And Darren’s suggestion had hit home. She could check out the club, meet Jodie and see if what she felt was for real. Just an experiment, it didn’t have to mean that she was gay, just checking it out without any strings attached…
