Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 20:54:22 -0400 From: Barry Gold Subject: Choices: New Friends New Friends? By Donal/Gold A couple of days later Sally found out that she passed her English test with an 89!! Her English teacher had been amazed because Sally, on those rare occasions would score an 80 or so but not that much higher. After finding out what she scored, she was so ecstatic, that she tried to find Beth to tell her the good news. As she rounded a corner in the school hallway, she just about collided with Beth. "Hey Beth, I just got the results back from my English test and I received an 89, can you believe it?" She was shouting in joy with some of the students staring at her. "Well, after all that "studying" we did, you had better have gotten a good grade or I would have kicked your ass!" Beth told her Sally then looked at Beth and as Beth looked back into Sally's Hazel eye's, she had the funny feeling that something was happening between her and Sally that had never happened to her before but because it was too soon to tell, she decided to keep it to herself for the moment. "What are you going to be doing this weekend Sally?" Beth inquired. "Right now I have no idea but I was thinking of going down to the park and just go walking. Would you like to come with me this Saturday?" Sally asked her. "Sounds nice. Maybe we can get some lunch afterwards and just enjoy the afternoon together. What do you think?" Beth inquired "Now that sounds like a great idea. Since the park is within walking distance we can get there around 11:00 or so and just take our time." Sally told Beth. ********************* As the girls were walking towards Beth's house after school, Sally was wondering what Beth's parents would think of her. She hadn't met them yet but with all of the talking that Beth did about her parents, she felt that she already knew all about them. This would be the first time since she met Beth a week ago that she would actually have dinner over at someone else's home in quite awhile and she was a little nervous about it. She had told her mom several days ago that Beth would like to have her over for dinner this coming Friday night. Her mother told her that it would fine so long as Beth's parents said it was okay. Since it was a Friday night, Beth's parents suggested that Sally sleep over. Again, her mother said for Sally to behave herself and at which time her sister Stephanie started laughing. ******************** "Beth, do you think your parents will like me?" Sally asked her. "I don't see why not. I've been talking about you all week at the dinner table at breakfast and anytime I could get your name in. My parents think I have a bad case of Sally on the brain!" Beth told her laughing. At this point Sally couldn't believe what she just heard from Beth and it just confirmed her own opinion of Beth. Sally was falling for Beth and from what Beth just told her, she knew that Beth was falling for her also but again she didn't want to say anything just yet. ******************** As they entered Beth's house, Beth called out for her mom. "Mom, I'm home and I brought Sally with me!" She said a little too loud. Beth's mom seemed to appear from nowhere but was actually outside doing a little gardening. "Well, hello there Sally. It's nice to finally meet you. All Beth does is talk about you. Sally this, Sally that. It seems that her whole world is revolving around you lately but that's okay with me. I'm glad to see that my daughter finally found a good friend." Beth's mom said. Shaking Beth mom's hand, Sally said, "Nice to meet you also. Beth talks about you non-stop. It seems that we've already met." "Beth, why don't you show Sally around the house while I get cleaned up." But before Beth could show Sally around, her mom took her aside for a moment. "Beth, have you told Sally about our "house" rules yet regarding nudity?" Beth looked a little sheepish, "No mom, not yet. I was going to do that right before or after dinner. What do you recommend I do?" "Well, I would let her know as soon as you can. Okay dear?" "Thanks mom. I'll do it before we come down to help set the table." Beth told her. ********************* As Beth showed Sally around the house, Sally seemed very impressed. Beth showed her the pool room where they had a very nice pool table, a work out room with weights and a Bowflex Machine, and of course lastly, the pool in the backyard. As they entered Beth's room, the first thing that Sally noticed were some trophies that she couldn't place. She went over to look at them and started to gape. They were trophies Beth got for Karate. It seems that everywhere she looked there were trophies and different colored belts all around the room. Her gaze finally fell upon a Black Belt and her jaw just dropped. "Beth, you didn't tell me that you were this much into the martial arts? A black belt in Karate, WOW. How long did that take you to get anyway?" "Well, my parents started me when I was six years old. They wanted me to be able to protect myself since I am an only child. And besides, they figured it would keep me in shape. It took me about 8 years but I'm just an ordinary black belt. It will take me another year or so of training for a second degree black belt." Beth said. As Sally continued looking around her room, she noticed a poster of Bruce Lee and a female she had never heard of, Debi Purcell, who was the first woman to win King of the Cage in 2002. At least that's what the poster said. "Beth, this woman is remarkable. Did she really win this award?" Sally said with awe in her voice. "Yeah, she's one of my heroes. She is an amazing person. And of course you know who Bruce Lee is?" She said laughing. "Who doesn't know who Bruce Lee was? The greatest martial artist that ever lived! And of course, the star of the greatest martial arts movie ever made, "Enter the Dragon." Sally stated simply. "Wow, I didn't realize you knew that Sally. How often do you watch that movie anyway?" Beth asked her. "Any chance I get. I love that movie." Sally told her. Beth looked at Sally with a serious look on her face and Sally stopped laughing. "Sally, there is something I really need to tell you about my family. Please don't tell anyone else what I'm about to tell you, okay?" Beth implored her. "Just so long that you don't tell me that you're all murderers!" Sally said giggling. "No, nothing like that at all. Sally, you already know that I like girls and that my parents have an idea that I like them also. But what you don't know is that my family is a nudist family. That means that during the evening hours on some nights, my parents along with myself, shed our clothes and walk around the house naked." Beth told her. Sally looked a little shocked by this confession. In school after sports, she would have to take showers in front of the other girls but then everyone would have to put their clothes back on. She didn't know what to say to Beth so she said the first thing that came to mind. "Well, that seems kind of interesting. I've never known a nudist before. What's it like anyway?" Sally inquired. Well, it's kind of liberating in a way. No clothes to get in the way when we walk around the house and of course, no tan lines! The first time that I went naked with my father around, I got embarrassed because I had never seen a grown naked man before. But after several times around him, I stopped being embarrassed and now I just take it for granted. Remember, being a nudist has nothing to do with sex." Beth told her. "I never thought of it that way." Sally said. "But while you're here, we will not take our clothes off. My mother said that if I should ever have any friends over, they will need to get permission from their parents to go naked in our house. What do you think your mother would say to that Sally?" Beth asked her. Sally thought for a moment and then spoke, "Well, knowing my parents the way I do, I think both of them would say yes. That is, so long as I don't put myself in any danger." Before Beth could answer, she heard her mother call her, "Beth, can you come and start to set the table please?" "Sure Mom, no problem. We'll be right down." Beth answered back. ************************* As they came downstairs to set the table, Beth noticed that her father had come home and was going through the mail. "Hi, sweetheart, how are you doing and who's the stranger with you?" her father said with some amusement in his voice. "Daaaaad, I think you know who this is. I've only been talking about her all week. Sally, this is my dad, Willam, Dad, this is Sally Ryder." Beth said to her father. "I was just kidding with you sweetheart. Of course I know who it is. You've only been talking about Sally all week. It seems like we've already met you Sally, what with all the talking that our "little" girl has done about you." Sally's father said with some humor. "Nice to meet you Mr. Wilson. Beth has told me all about the both of you. Should I just call you Doctor Wilson or would Mr. Wilson be better?" Sally asked Beth's dad. "Mr. Wilson would be fine Sally." It was at this moment that Beth's mom poked her head out and asked if the table had been set yet. "Sorry Mom, I was just introducing Sally to Dad. We'll come in and set it right away." ********************* Beth's mom brought out some roasted chicken with string beans and potatoes. They all sat around and just talked about anything that came up. The girls talked about school, soccer or whatever tickled their fancy. The parents asked them how their grades were coming (although they already knew their daughter was a straight A student). Sally told them that Beth had helped her study for her English test and because of that she received an 89 in it. Beth's parents looked very pleased at that. "Well Sally, it looks as if you have a tutor for you at school. I'm sure Beth doesn't MIND tutoring you either. Do you sweetheart?" Beth's mom asked her "No Mom, actually I loved it, and it was fun too!" Beth exclaimed The girls then looked at each other kind of sheepishly but kept it to themselves for the moment. What they didn't notice is that Beth's parents noticed the way the two girls looked at each other whenever they had the chance and knew what was happening with their daughter and Sally. But again, the parents kept that to themselves also. They wanted to wait and see what would happen this weekend and were hoping that their daughter would come to them to let them know. ************************* After dinner the girls cleaned up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. They went to join Beth's parents downstairs in the TV room where they were watching a movie, "The Day After Tomorrow." The girls settled down and watched the movie with them. Since they hadn't seen the movie yet, they liked the part where the storms destroyed Los Angeles and were moving down from the Arctic to freeze the entire Northern Hemisphere. All during the movie, since they were sitting next to each other, they kept on touching each other whenever they thought they were getting away with it. But Beth's parents seemed to notice everything, especially the way the girls were touching each other. They just smiled to themselves. ********************* After the movie the girls decided to go upstairs to Beth's room and listen to some music and talk. "Hey Sally, what would you like to listen to." Beth asked her. "Well, let me look thru your CD collection and see what I can find. Maybe something nice and mellow." Sally told her. As Sally was looking through Beth's CD collection, Beth was watching Sally's every move and was considering what had happened over the last week that they had known each other. The kiss at Sally's the first night, the "study" session at her house and now the sleepover here and the touching tonight while they were watching the movie. She was still thinking and was broken out of her train of thought by Sally. "Hello, earth to Beth. Didn't you hear what I just said?" Sally asked her somewhat worried. "Oh, I'm sorry Sally. I was just thinking about things. What was it you just asked me?" Beth said. "I said, what about "The Whole Story" by Kate Bush. I just love her greatest hits. It's got a great mixture of her major music." Sally asked her. "Actually, that's a great idea. I haven't listened to Kate Bush in a while. Go ahead but turn down the volume so my parents aren't disturbed." Beth told her. After she put the CD on, Sally turned around to look at Beth and started to worry a little bit. "Beth, are you okay? You look a little worried about something. Will you tell me what is bothering you?" "Actually, there's nothing really bothering me. I was just thinking of the past week that we've known each other and realized that I really haven't been this happy in quite a long time. Even though we've really only "known" each other for a week now, it seems that we've known each other all of our lives." Beth now took a very deep breath at this point and made a decision. "Sally, I believe that I am falling in love with you!" Sally looked stunned but also seemed to come to a decision herself. "Beth, after that first kiss that we gave each other and the way it made me feel, I've had this feeling about you that I never had with anyone else and it makes me feel nervous and happy at the same time." Beth could tell that Sally was not done telling her everything yet because she saw Sally take a very deep breath herself. "Beth, I'm also falling in love with you too!" The girls moved towards each other, wrapped their arms around each other, looked very deeply into each others' eyes and started to kiss. At first it was a very tender kiss, and then it started to get very passionate. Their mouths opened and their tongues started to intertwine with each others. Their arms tightened around each other as their kiss deepened. This kiss continued for about another minute or two and when they broke their kiss, they were breathing very hard. "Wow Beth, that was incredible! Is it always going to be like this with us?" Sally whispered. "I hope so Sally because I want to be with you for a very long time." Beth told her. Now after hearing what Beth just told her, Sally started to cry with happiness. Beth also started crying also and they started kissing away each others tears. "You know Beth I just thought of something. Where am I going to sleep tonight? I know you have a very big bed but won't your parents have something to say in the morning?" Sally asked her thoughtfully. "Well, I have one of those air beds that they advertise on TV that I inflate for when friends sleep over or you can crawl into bed with me. What do you think?" Beth asked her. Sally thought for a minute then said, "I think we should inflate the air bed just in case your parents decide to come in but I would like to sleep with you in your bed." "Sounds like a plan to me. Besides, I have a feeling that my parents know about us already." Beth told Sally. "Why do you think they know about us?" Sally asked. "Well, for one thing, when I invite friends over to dinner I don't normally stare at them at the dinner table. Also, when we were sitting together watching the movie, we were touching each other every chance we got. I think my parents noticed all of those "little" things we were doing." Beth told her. As they started getting ready for bed Beth told Sally that she could use the bathroom first, and then she would come in after her. Sally started brushing her teeth and started thinking about what just happened in Beth's' room and what it all might mean for her and Beth. At that thought Sally started to smile but did not hear Beth call her. "Sally, are you okay in there?" "Yeah, I'm okay. I'll be out in a minute." Sally said As Sally came out, she saw Beth sitting on her bed just watching her. "I thought you got lost in there. You were taking a long time. Is everything okay?" Beth said looking a little worried. "I'm okay. I was doing some thinking in there while I was brushing my teeth." Sally told her. "Well, then, I guess it's my turn now." Beth said as she was walking into the bathroom. After Beth got done, they inflated the Air Bed just in case her parents walked in. She then walked over to the light switch and turned it off. She got into her bed and patted the side next to her to Sally. Sally then slid in next to Beth and spooned up to her. Beth put her arms around Sally and Sally grabbed her arms and wrapped them tighter around her. She hadn't felt this safe and comfortable as long as she could remember. It felt good. Beth looked down at the diminutive form in her arms and started thinking this is the way it should be. She whispered, "Sally, what were you thinking about in the bathroom?" "Well, I was thinking about what happened earlier with the kiss and thought to myself that I'm so happy that I met you and fell in love with you." Sally whispered back to her. Sally turned around to face Beth and looked into Beth's deep blue eyes, moved her face closer and gently kissed her lips. They broke apart. Then Beth moved her face closer this time and pressed her lips to Sally's with a little more force. She opened her mouth and as her tongue came out Sally's mouth opened and accepted Beth's tongue into her mouth. As their tongues intertwined in each others mouths, their hands started roaming each others bodies. Sally's hands came up underneath Beth's sleep shirt and started caressing Beth's breasts. Beth started moaning into Sally's mouth and brought her hands underneath Sally's sleep shirt and started caressing Sally's breasts at the same time. Their mouths were still locked together and they were still moaning into each others mouth when they realized their moans were getting louder. "Maybe we should settle down before my parents look in on us." Beth whispered quietly. "I guess you're right Beth. I wouldn't want us to get into too much trouble now." Sally whispered with a smile on her face. Sally then turned around and spooned back into Beth and Beth wrapped her arms around Sally again. They were soon fast asleep so they didn't hear Beth's parents open the door to look in on them. What they saw did not surprise them at all. As a matter of fact, both her parents were smiling when they saw Sally up against their daughter. ****************** Beth was the first one to wake up in the morning and found herself with her arms still wrapped around Sally but this time they were facing each other. She looked at Sally and her heart just went out to her. She looked so beautiful just laying there that Beth thought she looked like an Angel. After about a minute or so, Sally had opened her eyes and realized that she was still wrapped in Beth's arms. She saw Beth smiling at her. "Good morning sleepy head. How did you sleep last night?" Beth asked her. "Last night was probably the best night's sleep I had in a long time!" Sally said quietly. As they were looking at each other, Beth moved closer to her and tenderly kissed Sally. Sally returned the kiss by opening her mouth and moved her tongue inside Beth's mouth. Their tongues started intertwining in each other's mouths and before they knew it, their hands were underneath each others shirts fondling each other's breasts. Again, they were moaning too loud and broke apart panting very heavily. "Wow, Beth. If we keep this up your parents will definitely hear us and wonder what's going on." Sally whispered. Beth then looked at Sally and asked her, "Did you happen to hear my door open at all last night?" "You know, I thought I heard your door open sometime in the night but really wasn't sure. It might have been a dream; at least I hope it was for our sake." Sally said. "Yeah, I know what you mean but I don't think my parents would really mind. Like I told you, they have an idea that I like girls because I never talk about boys at all. Hey, I think we should take a shower and go down and eat breakfast. Sound like a good idea?" Beth asked her "Sounds great. Can I go first?" "No problem. I'll straighten the room and deflate the air bed. By the time you get out, I'll be ready to jump in the shower." Beth told her. The girls were showered and dressed in about 30 minutes and made their way downstairs to join Beth's parents. Breakfast was already with eggs, bacon and orange juice waiting for the girls. "Good morning girls. I hope that you both slept well?" Beth's mom asked them. "Thanks Mom, as a matter of fact, we did have a good night sleep." Beth told her. "Well, girls, what are your plans on this beautiful Saturday?" Her dad asked her. "I thought that Sally and I would go down to the park and just take a nice walk down there. Is that okay Dad?" "Sure sweetheart, just don't take any unnecessary chances, if you know what I mean. Are you going to do anything for lunch while you two are out or are you coming back here?" Beth's mom asked them. "Well, Mrs. Wilson, Beth and I were talking and we thought that we would stop by Wendy's after our walk." Sally told her Beth's parents. "Just don't spend all day out there, okay girls?" "Sure Mom, no problem." Beth told her. As the girls finished their breakfast and cleaned up the table, they were glancing at each other and smiling. ********************* As the girls headed out the door and hopefully for a nice afternoon together, Beth's mom pulled her aside to say something to her. "Beth, I just want you to know that we think Sally is a very nice girl and if it makes You happy being with her, both your father and I will support you in your Decision. Oh and by the way honey, I know you two were together last night in your bed because we wanted to check in last night to make sure everything was okay. Both of you looked adorable cuddled up to each other!" Her mom said with a chuckle. Beth looked stunned but then said, "Thanks Mom, I really do appreciate it. By the way, Sally's parents also know about us also. I love you both." Sally was waiting outside to find out what took Beth so long to come out and Beth told her. Sally was stunned that they found out but was very happy that they didn't have to hide anything from Beth's parents. ***************** As they started their walk around the park, Beth held out her hand and Sally took it. They twined their fingers together, looked at each other and smiled. As they walked around the park, they passed by other couples that were holding hands too so no one seemed to really notice them too much. As they kept on walking they passed a couple of women or at least they seemed to be. One was an older woman and the other one looked to be in High School. They noticed the younger girl as they walked by them; she looked to be about 5'4" with brown hair and was very pretty. But since Sally and her were just out walking, that's all they seemed to notice about her...for now. ******************* Beth and Sally got done with their walk about 45 minutes later and decided to go to Wendy's. When they got there, they both noticed the young girl and her mother from the park were sitting down and eating their lunch. "Sally, after we get our food, let's go sit at that table over there." Beth said quietly so only Sally could hear. "Why at that table Beth?" "Well for one thing, did you notice the woman and the girl at that table over there? They are same ones that we passed in the park." Beth told her. As Beth and Sally sat down and started eating their lunch, they started talking to each other about what they were going to tell their friends. "Sally, what are you going to tell your friends about me?" Beth inquired. "Well Beth, the majority of my friends already know I'm gay so it shouldn't be that much of a problem. What about you, how are you going to let your friends know?" "Now that might be a little harder because the friends that I do have are all straight at least I think they are." Beth told Sally As they were talking, they heard the girl and her mother talking about something very interesting. The girl was asking her Mom how she could find out about other girls and mentioned something about her and Sally and how they knew that they liked girls. Beth looked at Sally and saw her smiling. Since both of them had never seen this girl before they just figured that she went to the other school in the area and tried to listen to find out where she lived and what her name might be. They heard her mother call her Lisa but since they didn't know the last name they were at a loss to find out more. They finished up their lunch and walked out. "What do you think Beth, do you think she could be a good friend?" "The first thing we need to find out Sally is who she is and where she lives. She certainly does not go to St. Francis and she seems to be looking for a girlfriend but has no idea how to go about doing it." "You're right baby; this should prove to be very interesting." Sally said smiling. Copyright Donal/Gold If you like this story, please let us know. We do like to hear from you with any comments/suggestions, good ones or bad ones.
