Hailey put her left hand behind Kathrine’s neck, her right hand on her waist and leaned in to kiss her again. Kathrine didn’t resist at all this time, she wanted this but Hailey pulled herself away again.
“Shit! Sorry, I can’t help it. I’m so sorry. Maybe I should just sleep on the couch.” Hailey threw herself back on the couch and put her left hand across her eyes.
“Let’s talk about this,” Kathrine said as she returned to sitting beside Hailey. She cared about Hailey, this needed to be sorted out.
“What’s there to talk about? You’re straight and in love with Paul. You’re just so damn beautiful that I get carried away. I’ll try harder,” Hailey said.
“Oh come on, I’m not that good looking. You could find someone a lot better than me. I mean, look at you,” Kathrine scoffed. In her eyes Hailey was a ten or higher even, Kathrine thought of herself as maybe a seven. She didn’t think she was ugly but she couldn’t compare to all the really beautiful women she knew.
Hailey sat up straight and took her hand off her face. She looked at Kathrine crossly as she spoke.
“Seriously? You’re as beautiful as any woman I’ve seen. I think every woman feels they are less attractive than other women. Well, unless they’re conceited. Take a compliment and accept that other people think you’re pretty. Mostly people only tell you that you’re beautiful if they really think you are.” Hailey scolded. “Well, unless a guy is trying to get in your pants. Don’t trust anything that guy says.” Hailey giggled and soon Kathrine was laughing along with her.
“Well thank you.” Kathrine wasn’t sure what else to say. Hailey had a point and although she wasn’t super smart like Sarah and Agnus she was wise in her own way. She knew about people, something Kathrine thought had come with age and observation. “Back to us. How do we handle this? I consider you my friend and I care about you a great deal but there’s more to it. I don’t want to leave things unsaid.” Kathrine was very attracted to Hailey and unsure why. She hadn’t been this attracted to a woman since she was a teenager and didn’t know how to handle it.
She had been raised by a straight father and straight mother. She had no illusions that her upbringing had been anything but perfect. Then she remembered sitting in Sarah’s apartment all those nights and meeting Sarah’s girlfriends and boyfriends. She remembered how happy and free Sarah seemed at the time. She knew Sarah had done it to keep herself distracted from Mark but Sarah had seemed genuinely happy. Kathrine recalled some of her thoughts from when she was a teenager. She had idolized Sarah, wanted to grow up to be just like her. Kathrine remembered being attracted to some of Sarah’s girlfriends even. Maybe Kathrine wasn’t straight after all, maybe she was more like Sarah than she thought. Why did she have to choose? Couldn’t she like men and women both? Sarah did.
“I appreciate the honesty. I care for you too.” Hailey paused for a moment trying to figure out what she really wanted to say. “I love you, not like I want to marry you and not like a sister. What I feel is different than anything I’ve ever experienced before and yes, I’m very attracted to you as well. I’m not quite sure how to handle this.”
Kathrine leaned in and kissed Hailey. Kathrine’s hand moved gently from Hailey’s shoulder, down across her breast and Hailey moaned. Hailey put her hand on top of Kathrine’s and caressed it, urging her to keep going.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” Hailey asked with a whisper when Kathrine moved on to kissing her neck.
“Yes,” Kathrine breathed against Hailey’s neck. The answer as well as the sensation of hot breath against her neck caused Hailey to gasp.
Hailey reached down and pulled up her shirt then helped Kathrine remove hers as well. Both women stared at each other for a moment, reveling in the beauty of the other. Hailey gently moved her hand under Kathrine’s breast then squeezed it gently before leaning down to suckle. Kathrine sighed with ecstasy then stood up. She placed her hand under Hailey’s chin and urged her to stand as well. Kathrine leaned in to kiss Hailey’s neck once more while her fingers undid Hailey’s pants. Hailey was delicate and caring, this was a sharp contrast from her animalistic encounter with Paul. She had wanted to tear Paul’s clothes off and scratch her nails into his skin. With Hailey she wanted to relish every second, every touch, and every kiss.
Hailey followed Kathrine’s lead, moving her hands gently across Kathrine’s stomach which caused a spasm of pleasure and another gasp to escape Kathrine’s lips. She undid Kathrine’s jeans and knelt while she pulled them down, kissing her way down. Kathrine wove her fingers into Hailey’s hair, encouraging her onward. Hailey put one finger on either side of the soft lacey material of Kathrine’s panties then slid them down as well. When Hailey’s tongue reached Kathrine’s center she moaned with pleasure but she wanted to pleasure Hailey as well. Gently she moved Hailey’s face upward and knelt as Hailey had. She slipped Hailey’s jeans down then kissed the delicate cloth that separated her from her prize. Hailey tried to remove her panties but Kathrine pushed her hands aside, she was in no rush. Kathrine scraped her nails from Hailey’s hips around to her bottom and Hailey cried out in agreement. Using her nails Kathrine slowly slid the lacey cloth down, tracing the invisible line from her belly button downward with her tongue. When the delicate cloth was around Hailey’s ankles Kathrine pushed her gently to sit on the couch.
