Authors Note: I have never had a lesbian experience or even contemplated one, but this idea just came to me one evening and I just sat down and didn’t stop until I’d finished. This is the raw product, no rewrites and no real sex; fundamentally it’s a short love story.

It was Wednesday and it was raining, either was bad news in a flea pit like Machin, together the effect was awesome.

 

I shuck off my wind breaker, scattering rain across the diner and then ordered coffee and one of Ron’s famous brunches. It wasn’t that I was starving, but I couldn’t spend time in Ron’s and not spend money.

 

Ron’s is famous for his brunches, famous that he played three games for the Packers back in the eighties and for the fact it almost the only place in Machin where you can go that doesn’t serve alcohol. He say’s that one winter in Green Bay prepared him for Machin.

 

I doubt that.

 

I have a book with me, one of the old Dune books by Frank Herbert. I’d seen the mini series on cable and now wanted to try the book, so I sat in the corner, sipped my coffee, nibbled my brunch and immersed myself in the novel.

 

“Excuse me!” The little girl voice breaks into my thoughts. I look up, just a little annoyed for I was becoming cosy in my little corner.

 

The voice belongs to a woman in her mid twenties, brown hair that’s plastered to her face, which is thin and pale. She has a prominent dimple on a chisel chin and looks as depressing as the weather.

 

“Yeah?” I ask.

 

“I wondered if I can join you.” She asks.

 

I look around, the diner is almost empty and so a good dozen tables are free. There’s no need for her to try and sit with me. I think she takes the hint from my expression.

 

“I don’t like sitting alone.” She smiles briefly and shows a set of white and even teeth.

 

“Be my guest.” I close the book after dog tagging the page I’m up to. I have the feeling that my mystery guest will want to talk.

 

She takes off the zip up jacket she’s wearing, its summer thin which in October Machin is a mistake. I wonder where she’s come from that leaves her so ill prepared for the weather around here, other than the jacket she’s wearing a woollen jumper and faded blue jeans.

 

She looks cold.

 

She sits down opposite me.

 

“Introductions are in order.” I say. “Names Paula Machin, as in the town (she can work out later that my family still owns sixty percent of the land that Machin is built on.)” I offer her my hand.

 

“Paula … sorry … I’m Sally Burgess, but people call me Sal.”

 

Our fingers touch, her hands are frozen but touching her makes my fingers tingle for other reasons.

 

I notice that the damp hair frames a pair of deep brown eyes, all soft looking, they dominate her face. I should have seen that before.

 

“You are passing through?” I ask.

 

Sal gives a shrug. “I guess so, unless I fall lucky on a job that got a room with it.”

 

I don’t tell her that Machin in the winter has no spare jobs, the summer visitors has gone and from now until the spring Machin is a one street town that shut down for the duration.

 

“Passing through then … sorry, but I know the town, there’s no work … ask Ron behind the counter if you like.” I add just in case she thinks I’m trying to get rid of her.

 

“It’s okay, I believe you.” She smiles weakly again.

 

I notice that she hasn’t even got a coffee.

 

“Not thirsty?”

 

She looks embarrassed and leans forwards, her breath smells, like she hasn’t cleaned her teeth in a while. “I’m broke.”

 

So that’s it, this is a shake down and I didn’t see it coming. Paula you need to concentrate, the law never takes time off. Out of my handbag I pull my badge and slid it across to her.

 

“Shit!” She hissed. “I’m sorry …”

 

“Tell Ron that’s it’s on my tab.” I stop her before she either bolts or blubs. I push my plate towards her, the meals still ninety percent there. “Get yourself a fork.” I add.

 

“You mean it?” She smiles and I catch the full extend off her bad breath.

 

“Sure.”

 

The next five minutes are spent in silence as I watch Sal demolish the meal and two cups of coffee. I guess that she’s still hungry but is too proud to ask for more and I’m to mean to offer.

 

We talk for about an hour, long enough for me to discover that Sal is from Seattle, is aged twenty five, single, a nurse by profession and a bar tender by inclination.

 

She finds out that I’m twenty eight, single, from Machin, one quarter of the towns police force and of course that the town belongs to my family.

 

“My folks live outside town, the big ranch touch. I have an apartment over the drug store.” I tell her.

 

“Just you?” She asks nervously.

 

“Just me.” I confirm.

 

She looks to perk up, a warm meal and a warm room to eat it in bolster her morale. A little colour comes into her cheeks, she isn’t exactly good looking but there’s a character there.

 

My cell phone interrupts us. It’s the station, could I call round, wasn’t that urgent, but could I?

 

“Work, I have to go.”

 

She looks disappointed. I toss a few dollars onto the table. “In case you get hungry.”

 

“Thanks.” She whispers.

 

Our fingers touch again, I feel the tingle again and suddenly I’m short of breath. I know that feeling.

 

“I may see you around.” I say as I leave.

 

The call was supposed to be a small problem but its two hours before I can return to the diner. I know that she won’t be there but I have to see.

 

The table is empty. Ron smiles and says that the girl left just after I did. He understands, Machin is what they call a pink town, not exclusively, but it’s a town that tolerates an alternative life style. I had just entertained the hope she’d be still there. I’m disappointed and show it. Ron offers me a coffee but I need something stronger so after a couple of beers in the originally named Machin Bar, I call in the drug store and buy a quarter bottle of whisky.

 

“Hello again.”

 

I jump and nearly drop the bottle.

 

Sal steps out of the shadows next to my apartment door. She looks cold again and I guess she must have stood here for sometime. “They told me in the diner where you lived.”

 

“And?”

 

“I need a place to stay; just one night … I’ll do anything for a night in a warm bed.” She adds.

 

I know what she’s offering and suddenly I’m tingling all over. It has been a long time since I’ve had company, that sort of company; the tingling isn’t restricted to my fingers. I let us both in the apartment, I’m shaking and Sal looks ready to bolt.

 

Please lord, let her stay.

 

I want to touch her but I daren’t. I’m afraid that she will run or that maybe she’d just an erotic dream I’m having. It wouldn’t be the first time I awoke with a damp patch in my panties.

 

Don’t rush her, don’t scare her.”

 

“Drink?” I need one if she doesn’t.

 

We eke out the quarter bottle, even with ice it doesn’t go far and I still haven’t touched her. We are sitting opposite each other in my small lounge, the fires well ablaze and its heat and light warm and illuminate the room.

 

“That bottle was meant for one.” Sal says’ she’s more relaxed but I don’t know if that’s just the booze.

 

“I wasn’t expecting company.” I admit.

 

“Wait there, I won’t be a minute.” Before I can say anything Sal is gone, I feel the draft of cold air from the street but not the door close.

 

She’s gone … you missed your chance.”

 

I fight back a tear and the disappointment and then she’s back!

 

She slumps into the chair opposite clutching a bottle of whisky. “The cheapest they had.” Sal explains.

 

“I thought you were broke.”

 

“You gave me money, now have I wasted the money?” Suddenly she is calm and confident. She pours me the drink and tops up the glass with ice. “A favour … well more practical … it’s been a few days since I showered … I probably need to.”

 

I remember her breath then and mentally cringe as to what her pussy might taste like. I find her towels and an old bathrobe left by a long gone and still remembered partner. Then I sit and watch the television whilst I hear the shower running. She spends a long time in there and I wonder if I should join her, but I’m not that sure of my welcome so I sit and wait.

 

“Now I feel like a woman again!” Sal’s voice once more startles me.

 

She’s buried inside the robe; her hair washed and dried is swept back off her face, leaving her thin features more exposed. I see how slender her neck is, the flesh is white, perfect white.

 

I tremble again and want to touch her.

 

She helps herself to another glass of whisky and offers to freshen mine. I shake my head and then I’m feeling dirty and desperately need to shower.

 

“You should have joined me.” Sal’s voice is an octave lower and very sexy.

 

I shudder with anticipation.

 

I tell her that it’ll take five minutes.

 

She smiles and says hurry up.

 

I do and wrapped in my robe return to a now empty lounge, the fire has been smothered and is already beginning to die down. There’s a light on in my bedroom, the doors pushed to and it’s with nervous fingers I push it back open.

 

Sal is sitting in the edge of the bed, staring at her feet. She hears me and looks up.

 

“The beds warm.” She says.

 

“It’s on a timer.” I manage to say.

 

I want you, I want you now, but now I’m the scared one.

 

Sal stands up and just steps out of the robe. She’s naked, her breasts are small but full, her waist is narrow and her hips prominent, there’s a profusion of pubic hair, and she has long slender legs. She is beautiful, like some women look better naked than clothed, Sal is one of those.

 

I drop my robe, the police work has given my body a tone, but I know that I’m not ugly; I’m just ordinary whilst Sal is special.

 

We are standing in the middle of the room, two steps apart.

 

“Bedtime?” Sal smiles.

 

“Bedtime.” I agree.

 

We climb into the bed from opposite sides and meet in the middle, the shocks how it always is, the wonder of touching another body, another female body. We hold each other, not exploring and then just kiss, almost politely at first, then the hunger takes over and the tingle become a fire …

 

We make love, not once but endlessly, our fingers, lips and tongues draw orgasm after orgasm from each other. We make love until we are too exhausted to continue and just collapse against each other. For the first time in a very long time I’m content.

 

I pull her closer, so that we are in the spoon position and my face is buried in her rose scented hair. “Promise me something?” I whisper.

 

“What?” Sal asks sleepily.

 

“The next time we row, you sleep in the spare room and don’t just leap on a bus.”

 

“I promise!”

 

I can feel her smile and pray that she can feel mine.
