This is an adult tale so you must decide if you're old enough to read it. Otherwise, enjoy! *** Chapter One It was silly really to think about death like this. At fifty Barbara was just beginning her prime middle years yet thoughts of her own mortality plagued her. She was childless and she knew this was underlying some of her morbid preoccupation with her own demise, but being lesbian she was in the same barren state as most of her friends and they seemed to be coping fine. Perhaps it's just a depression, she thought, something a few pills might take care of. But deep down she knew it was more than that. Physically Barbara had looked after herself. She still sported a fine body toned by years of dedicated exercise and diet. She had no chronic illnesses nor any of the life style diseases that were affecting her less diligent contemporaries. Rather it was her spirit that was suffering. She had not paid enough attention to the people in her life, her friends, lovers and family, and now she was paying the price. She felt terribly alone. Career had come first she realized. Long, grinding hours spent practicing law had won her substantial financial security and the ability to retire well before most, but Barbara hadn't figured in the emotional cost of finishing the race first, but all by herself. She had had several relationships, any one of which could have led to something more meaningful, but work always came before the well being of her partners or their feelings. She could see now, two years into retirement, how wrong she had been and how sad it all was. Sighing heavily she came in from her balcony overlooking the bay, a view that absolutely thrilled her when she first moved in but today left her unmoved and uncaring. The bright sunlight reflecting off the ocean only seemed to sear her soul and mock her with its happy shimmering sparkles. Her penthouse condominium was at one time her pride and joy, but today it could have been a hovel in some inner city mid-town for all she cared. A trip to the gym was in order and sometimes it helped. That, and a quick drink or two at the neighborhood bar were often enough to see her through the night, even though the drinks worried her, sensing as she did that three would be better than two and four better than that and where that could all lead. Her mother had been alcoholic and Barbara knew enough to be careful. Still it was tempting. At the gym Barbara checked herself over in the full length mirrors as she worked out intensely, sweat pouring from her body. She was 5' 8" tall and 130 pounds, just ten off her high school weight, which thrilled her. Her breasts were still a firm 36C and her hips as tight as years of a one hour daily grind of a work-out could make them. Her grey eyes were set in even, balanced features unmarked by sun damage, sagging or wrinkling, framed by mid-length sun streaked natural honey blonde hair with a hint of grey at the temples, a color and look her hairdresser said she couldn't duplicate from a bottle in a hundred years. She liked what she saw and took pride in her appearance. What Barbara didn't see in her reflected images was that, in spite of her no-nonsense courtroom countenance that she wore most of the day her face radiated a hidden warmth that took many off guard and drew others to her in ways she sometimes noticed but didn't always understand. Although desperately wanting the company and affection of others something always made her draw back and resist, sometimes fiercely. Going to deeper levels of intimacy was something she so strongly needed, was frequently offered, but always refused. After her shower at the gym Barbara decided to heed her inner warnings about alcohol and skip the local bar, knowing that the warmth from the drinks was artificial and only mimicked happiness. In a couple of hours it would wear off and she'd feel no better, even mildly hung over. She decided instead to drive around by the park near the beach, intending while there to sit and morbidly watch the sun, like her life, sink slowly down into darkness. Leaving her Lexus parked and secure she made her way over to a nearby intricately formed wrought iron bench and sat down, letting the endorphins from her workout wash through her, easing her depression a little. The sky was full of color from blue to indigo, red to pale pink and yellow where the ball of the dying sun was half way into the water. Long thick bands of cloud slashed across the sky like huge brush strokes, picking up and amplifying the already rich colors, making the evening sunset appear like a surrealist painting of another world. But beautiful as it was it was not enough to fill the black emptiness inside her. The next thing you know it'll be a visit from the ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future, she thought miserably. While she sat contemplating the ending of life Barbara was suddenly startled by a noise from the bushes nearby to her right. When she turned to look a figure appeared from between two hydrangea plants not thirty feet away. It was no Christmas ghost but it was an apparition equally Dickensian, a young girl who seemed as surprised to see Barbara as Barbara was to see her. The girl stood stock still for an instant as Barbara took in the sight of her. She was dressed in worn blue jeans, an old olive drab T-Shirt, a dirty looking baseball cap, grubby runners that had been through the Salvation Army store at least twice, and she had an old blue and grey back pack slung almost insolently over her shoulder that appeared to carry all her worldly belongings, which it more or less did. Her hair was long, blonde and stringy and clearly hadn't been washed in awhile. A shiver of fear and repugnance etched through Barbara but was quickly replaced by a sense of compassion. Why, she didn't know. She normally considered the poor, when she did at all, as at best someone else's problem. And this child was clearly a problem. "Hello, young lady," Barbara spoke first, surprising herself. "Hi, you got any spare change, ma'am?" the waif asked. The girl quickly recovered from her own surprise at finding this attractive middle aged woman on the bench she usually came to rest on after making her way out of the park each evening. Not surprised enough though, to miss the chance of scoring some quick food money. "I'm kinda hungry," she added quietly. "Do you live in there?" Barbara queried, indicating the heavily forested park behind them. The girl turned her head to look where Barbara was pointing then looked directly back at her, eyes full of pleading. "Yeah, I do for now. And please, I could use a few bucks to help me get by," guessing by Barbara's clothes, hair and makeup that she probably had more than just a few coins on her. Yvonne was getting desperate. Running away from home, bad as home was, hadn't turned out to be quite the trip she had imagined. Like sleeping in the park, although that was way better than running with one of the street 'families', mostly runaways like herself trying desperately to stay hidden and alive in the niches and cracks of the big city. She tried that for a couple of months. With them, kind as some could be, there was always trouble. Better to be on your own. Watching the girl closely Barbara knew enough through practicing some family law and criminal defense work early in her career not to ask the obvious questions of this young ragamuffin. Instead she reached for her purse and then paused. "Money isn't what you really need, is it sweetheart?" she asked, looking the girl in the eye. As Barbara continued looking, dimly at first but with some growing clarity she experienced a slow, almost miraculous epiphany regarding this poor creature that had appeared before her almost straight from the pages of Oliver Twist. What she was looking at was herself for what she could have been. My God, she thought, it's the ghost of Christmas future in reverse! Barbara could well have stood in this girl's place thirty eight years ago given her own wretched home life as a child and her single mother's disastrous and ultimately fatal battle with the bottle and prescription drugs. It suddenly struck her that all those years of frantic effort to achieve success in school, university, law school, and legal practice were all an attempt to escape the fate that stood exactly in front of her right now. "Maybe not," replied the girl. "But it would sure help for now. Please ma'am?" "Here's twenty dollars," Barbara said abruptly reaching into her purse. "Come back tomorrow about this time and we'll see about more. How's that?" As the girl approached her wide-eyed at her generosity Barbara was able to notice how pretty she was under all the grit, grime, and grungy clothes. Standing next to Barbara her odor was only faintly noticeable, indicating that she was at least trying to stay clean. Her eyes were a beautiful corn flower blue set above a pert little nose and full red lips, a natural beauty in need of no makeup. Her body was lean and small but hard to make out through her loose ill-fitting clothing. Her long blonde hair would probably look great with a set and wash sans baseball cap, Barbara thought. "Gosh, thank you, ma'am. I will. Be here tomorrow that is," Amazed at her good fortune Yvonne grabbed the bill and pocketed it. She could eat well for the next week if she were careful. Giving the attractive older lady a stunning little girl smile, she turned and without looking back walked, then half ran towards the city lights beckoning in the distance. Barbara stood watching the girl disappear into the whirling maw of the metropolis, willing her to be safe one more night, just long enough for Barbara to what? Make a difference in this young girl's existence? Rescue her from the appalling, soul destroying life she was leading? Or long enough to rescue Barbara's own soul, an unwanted thought that crept in, making her feel selfish, self-serving and questioning of her own motives. And she's so pretty too, Barbara realized with a flash of feeling. Wolfing down a dollar slice of pizza Yvonne contemplated her encounter with her 'angel' in the park. She had been around long enough to know that some kids, mostly girls, had occasional but regular benefactors that gave them money or other things with no strings attached. Usually older men who seemed to take pity on the kids down here and did what they could for them for whatever reasons of their own. Maybe this lady was one of those street angels? That would be nice. Yvonne could use a more regular income, not that she was trying to con the woman in the park. She hadn't been down here long enough to lose all her sense of conscience, and the look in the woman's eyes seemed so gentle and caring, something Yvonne was not used to seeing. Could she trust her? Time would tell. Trust was not something Yvonne gave out to just anyone. Her young life till now was an endless string of broken promises and painful betrayals, and there was that thing that happened, that caused her finally to run away. That thing she didn't want to think about or remember but that stuck with her, gnawing away at her like a toothache no matter how much she tried to tell herself it didn't matter. Barbara herself spent an unusually restful night and woke up refreshed, feeling better than she had for some time, she realized. She knew it was about the girl in the park. She had seen something in her eyes and her stance that told her this girl was not yet damaged beyond repair, that some spark of a wonderful human soul remained to be salvaged if only she could be reached in time. And Barbara intended to reach her in spite of the quiet voice inside her that said she was doing this for her own salvation and not the girl's. She chose to ignore the voice for now. And this new sense of purpose, at least for today, gave her some hope to live on. When they met the next evening they were both surprised and happy to see that the other had shown up. Both, for obviously different reasons, had hoped the meeting last night had not been a one-time thing and it had come to pass. Barbara could see that the girl had even tried to clean up a bit. The ball cap was gone and her hair was combed and tied back in a pony tail. Her white T-shirt looked clean, if several sizes too large. Khaki colored cargo pants had replaced the jeans but her shoes were the same raggedy pair she'd worn last time. "My name's Barbara, what's yours?" she asked as the girl approached her, hoping she wasn't being too forward. "Uh, Mandy," Yvonne replied, giving her favorite teacher's name, her chosen 'street name' that every kid down here had to help avoid being taken into custody by social services or the police. "Well, Mandy, I've put together something of a survival pack for you. Things you might need but can't find, uh, out here." This included some tampons, shampoo, soap, toothbrush and paste, deodorant, some nutrition bars, a portable radio with ear plugs, a few extra dollars, and a cheap but nice looking watch. "The watch is so that we can make appointments with each other, would that be okay?" "Sure, I guess," Yvonne replied, a bit overwhelmed by the woman's generosity and concern. Why is she doing this? When it became clear by the woman's silent warm smile however, that there were no questions being asked and no conditions attached to these gifts Yvonne said simply "Thank you, ma'am." "Please call me Barbara, okay?" "Sure. Thank you, uh, Barbara," Yvonne said uncertainly. "Please tell me if there is anything else you need. I can only guess what you're going through and what might help. Is there something else I can get for you sweetheart?" Only a whole new life, Yvonne thought bitterly and maybe a big house on a farm with horses and cars to drive and endless amounts of food to eat and no one to be afraid of or run away from but she'd start small. "A tent," she said. "Not too big but enough to stretch out in and keep the rain off. Maybe that's too much..." "Of course not," said Barbara. "I should have thought of that myself. Fall is coming and you're going to get awful damp out there. How about a sleeping bag too?" she asked nervously. "Really? You'd buy me a tent and a sleeping bag? Wow!" Yvonne blurted out, sounding almost like the little 12 year old she actually was and then she got wary. In her universe such things didn't come without a price or they always fell through. "I promise. Tomorrow night at 8:00 o'clock I'll be here. Is that time good for you, Mandy?" Barbara had noticed her excitement and then her fade into guardedness. Yvonne nodded her head and smiled. "Okay, I'll be here Barbara," She took her new watch out of the bag of supplies she'd been given and put it on. "At 8 o'clock." She turned and started walking away again into the glowing lights and swirling traffic of the city. This time though, she turned around and waved good bye before continuing. Barbara watched her marching away and again prayed to whatever goddess looked after little girls that she be safe for another night and free from all the dangers she knew and imagined could befall her. She looked tough though - and competent for a twelve year old, Barbara thought. She can take care of herself. She's made it this far or so she reassured herself. God, what am I going to do? I'm so worried about this child. I know what a fiasco turning her in to social services would create and that, she felt sure, would end any trust she'd begun to build up between them forever. Yvonne spent the night as she usually did; trying to remain out of sight and mind of most of the world and Barbara's generosity meant she didn't have to panhandle for awhile either. There was a street youth drop-in that offered free showers, always a supply of day old Starbuck's muffins (Starbuck's, she had come to learn, was another 'street angel'. If she could ever afford to buy coffee she'd always buy it at Starbuck's) and occasionally some good used clothing or other articles people would donate. There were street friends she ran into too, but most of them always had that desperate look about them that made Yvonne keep her distance. Drugs were not her scene, neither was prostitution, alcohol or larceny. She'd been approached early on by an older man who promised she could make lots of money turning tricks and making films and she'd run from him like she'd run from the gangs that broke into cars and boosted stuff from the large downtown retail stores. And now there was this woman who was buying her a tent. What did she want? Was she safe? Yvonne hoped so. The woman seemed so kind and for an instant her street hardened heart opened up to the magnificent 'what if' that this woman, this beautiful, rich, even sexy woman, might be for real. She gulped back some tears after leaving the shower in the drop-in and looked down at her new possessions with some pride, especially her watch. 8 o'clock, she remembered. I'll be there, she said to herself firmly. ** The next day Barbara went to the best outdoor outfitting place she could find and bought what she thought was the best small tent in the store designed, it said, to endure the ravages of a windy tropical downpour. Next an 'arctic tested' sleeping bag, whatever that meant, and a foam mat to lay under it along with enough tin pots, stoves, cooking utensils, and survival gear to last a whole season in the Antarctic and then she stopped, realizing that the poor girl could only carry so much and why was she encouraging her to stay outdoors by buying her all this equipment anyway? Then she realized she was not outfitting Mandy for the winter, she was trying to buy her trust. For a moment a wave of guilt washed through her then she remembered her promise to Mandy and the look of doubt on her young face just before she had turned away and headed for town. If this is what it takes to help this girl survive and thrive then, if it's selfish, so be it. She bundled her purchases into the trunk of her car and drove off, anxiously waiting for 8 o'clock to roll by. Yvonne had arrived early and hid herself in anticipation of Barbara's return tonight. She realized too that she was as anxious to see the woman as she was to get her new camping gear. There was something about Barbara that was getting to her, unlocking feelings she hadn't felt before but she knew she had to be very careful. They were warm, soft almost magical sensations and she wasn't sure what exactly they were but she knew they were powerful and needed to be kept in check. She sensed these emotions could turn around and hurt her badly, something she wasn't sure she could ever endure. Then looking down at her watch at precisely 8 o'clock she heard Barbara's car drive up, stop and her door open and close. Yvonne waited until the woman had seated herself on the bench before making her presence known. Emerging from behind the hydrangeas she saw the woman turn to look at her and saw too the huge smile that lit up her face when she recognized her. The smile seemed to melt something inside Yvonne and she approached Barbara a bit tentatively but no longer so warily. "Mandy! There you are!" Barbara exclaimed. "I went a little nuts in the sporting goods store. Do you want to have a look?" Curious, Yvonne followed Barbara to the trunk of her car and stood there as she opened it. When the light went on she could see the clear plastic bag with the tent in it and the rolled up forest green sleeping bag but in addition there were a number of camping utensils she could badly use including a can opener, hand axe, mess tin and an array of cooking gear. There was also a new backpack, one which looked expensive, too expensive to wear into the city, but she wouldn't tell the woman that. It would make Yvonne the target of a robbery the minute she showed up on the street with it. She'd keep it at her camp site for some special occasion. "I knew this might be a lot to carry so I got this portable dolly you can use to get it all to, uh, the place where you live," Barbara said pulling it from the side of her trunk and piecing it together. I also got you this," she said reaching into her purse. "It's a cell phone with about four hours of prepaid calling time. And this is my card with my home phone, cell number and address on it. I've put them on speed dial in the cell. If you need anything or just want to talk..." Yvonne looked up at Barbara stunned. "You mean all this is for me? And I can just call you too if, if I want to?" "Yes of course you can. Any time about anything. It doesn't have to be important. That's why I got it for you. I know you could probably sell it and you can if you like," Barbara added nervously. "But I thought this way we could arrange to meet by phone, or cancel if something came up." "I'd never sell it! No ma'am. I mean Barbara," Yvonne announced earnestly and Barbara heaved a quiet sigh of relief. She watched Yvonne turning the cell phone around in her hands, opening and closing it, then the look of confusion that appeared on her face. Realizing the girl didn't know how to operate it she ran her through a quick series of instructions and was amazed by how fast she caught on to everything. She's a bright little thing, Barbara mused. Imagine her at a computer? During this period of demonstrations and instruction Barbara also noticed that Yvonne had dropped a lot of her street wise reticence and was responding to her like any normal twelve year old would. She was even flashing her a big smile whenever she mastered some new task and Barbara felt her heart flutter a bit each time. My God, I'm falling in love with this pitiful needy child she realized. After the lessons were complete Yvonne looked up at Barbara. "Can I call you tonight?" she asked expectantly. "Oh my dear, of course you can. I'd love to hear from you." Barbara was breathless at this offer. "Okay then, I'm going to pack all this stuff home, set it up and call you from there. Think it will work in the woods?" "Yes, it will sweetheart, don't worry." Barbara smiled. Together they loaded Yvonne's new backpack with her new camping gear then placed it, the tent, and sleeping bag on the dolly, ready for transport into the forest. After testing the weight Yvonne assured Barbara she could easily manage by herself then she came over and surprised Barbara with a big hug. In response Barbara wrapped her arms tightly around the young girl and, after smelling the fragrance in her hair of the shampoo she'd bought her, reluctantly let her go again. "Thank you so much Barbara," Yvonne said softly with downcast eyes, then she turned around, picked up the end of the dolly and started off back into the park, the dolly rolling along easily behind her. When she was almost at the tree line she stopped, turned around and waved good bye then disappeared into the forest gloom. As she watched her go Barbara felt a tear come to her eye as she stood there for some minutes gazing at the spot where Yvonne had disappeared. Finally she turned and headed back to her car and home to await that special phone call that was now meaning so much to her. Maybe I'm just being an old fool, she thought. This could all turn out to be a disaster. Hell, I barely know the girl. On the other hand she hadn't felt this alive in years and decided to let things proceed as they would. Driving back home almost on auto pilot Barbara was startled back to alertness by the chiming of her cell phone. Thinking it was probably one of her bar friends wondering where she'd been the last few nights she was quite taken aback when a young girl's voice instead asked if that was Barbara. "Yes, this is Barbara. Is that you Mandy?" she inquired excitedly. "I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon, dear." "Oh, is it okay me phoning you now? I could always..." "Of course it's okay sweetheart. I'm just surprised is all, happily surprised." "Well I thought I'd tell you I got the tent up okay and it's great! Thank you so much!" "It's my pleasure dear. I'm so glad you like it," Barbara said warmly as she stopped for a red light. "So are you still going to call me when I get home? I'd like that." "Gosh okay, in about an hour maybe?" "Use my home number. I look forward to it honey." After Yvonne hung up she sat back and pondered the recent turn her life had taken. She knew that for some reason this woman wanted to be her friend but she couldn't figure out why. Never having been truly loved before she'd had no experience of the unconditional giving and acceptance that came normally to most children through their parents and other family members. As a result she didn't see herself as particularly lovable and so still doubted this woman's love and kindness. But there was enough hope left in Yvonne to keep going in this new relationship despite her mistrust, not to mention how desperately lonely she was and how afraid of the future she felt and how wonderful it would be to be rescued from her ongoing nightmare of a life. And there was something else that Yvonne barely acknowledged. She felt attracted to this woman in a visceral, sexual way that she hadn't experienced before. She knew she was attracted to other girls and not to boys, but she'd never allowed those feelings to go very far. Her only sexual experience was more an act of unmitigated violence than anything sexual. It was that memory she kept trying to suppress, of her mother's latest boyfriend pinning her down, ripping off her clothes and raping her brutally until she had passed out cold. With a shudder Yvonne pushed those humiliating nightmarish scenes back into her mind and concentrated instead on the image and person of Barbara and she immediately felt warm and aroused. There could not be a greater contrast between two people than Barbara and that vile boyfriend she realized. After arriving home Barbara planted herself beside the phone and looked at her watch. About fifteen minutes to go before she could expect Mandy's call. She settled back in her easy chair and let her mind wander back to the young girl. She had looked so adorable tonight with her hair cleaned and hanging loosely about her shoulders. She could do with a cut, Barbara thought. She longed to take her to her own hairdresser but felt sure the time was not yet here whereby she could be that personal with the girl. She needed to be patient. Barbara too had to acknowledge some odd feelings of attraction towards this young runaway. These feelings at first shocked her then she remembered the girl's eyes, so knowing and grown up and her obvious self- sufficiency. Twelve going on thirty, Barbara appreciated. That maturity along with her striking beauty were a potent combination and Barbara saw where her physical attraction towards the girl was coming from. Still it was a little unsettling. The loud burr of her telephone stopped Barbara's reveries and she picked up the receiver in eager anticipation. "Hello Barbara, is that you?" Yvonne's voice sounded in her ear. "Yes Mandy honey, it is. How are you dear?" responded Barbara, trying not to sound too excited. "Well, first off I should tell you that my name's not Mandy. It's Yvonne. I hope you don't mind but Mandy is my street name. I wasn't trying to fool you or anything. Is that okay?" "Yes it's okay. I understand and I'm touched that you would share that with me. You don't have to be afraid to tell me anything Yvonne. As I guess you know by now I think you're pretty special and I want so much just to be your friend," Barbara told her sincerely. "Yeah I – I know," Yvonne paused and gathered up her courage. "But, well, why do you want to do all these things for me? Why do you want me as a friend?" she blurted out. "I mean you've got lots of things, cars and stuff and I don't have anything. And you don't really know me. I'm only twelve and I could be a horrible brat that just takes your money or steals from you or something..." "Honey, listen. I know you're not that kind of person," Barbara retorted. "Besides I'm pretty sharp and I'd spot your game pretty fast anyway. Why I want to be your friend is a bit complicated, but I guess I see a lot of myself in you. I have no problem imaging what your home life was like and I can tell you that mine was no walk in the park either. I can also appreciate how hard it probably is for you to trust me. I accept that and know that I have to earn your trust and I'm willing to do that a step at a time. "That's also why I'm trying to be completely open with you. I promise, I'll never lie to you or try to trick you or hurt you. I know what all that feels like just like I'm sure you do. I've come to love you Yvonne," These final words came tumbling out of her mouth almost unbidden. Had she gone too far? Yvonne was stunned by Barbara's revelation, insight, empathy, and promises. As the numbness gradually wore off following Barbara's remarks all the years of hurt, betrayal, fear, and pain that were locked up inside her could no longer be ignored or denied. Someone understood and cared. Yvonne felt the tears begin to flow. "Oh my God, yes! I do! Know how that feels I mean," Yvonne sobbed. Deep wells of untapped feelings gushed forth from dark hidden places and Barbara listened intently as waves of emotion coursed through the young girl, expressing themselves in soul wracking sobs and free running tears. "Oh Barbara, I feel so alone!" she cried as she tried to regain some control over herself. "Please, would you come and meet me again tonight," Yvonne implored desperately. "Please?" After assuring her that she would be there in twenty minutes, Barbara rushed out of her condo, impatiently waited for the elevator then willed it to descend faster when she finally boarded it. Bursting out of the elevator doors at the parking level she headed immediately for her car, got in and actually squealed her tires as she made the turn to leave the building, stopping abruptly to wait impatiently for the security gate to finally open. When it did Barbara headed back to the park and noted when she arrived that she had actually made it in fourteen minutes as she pulled into the now familiar parking space by 'their' bench. Pausing for breath she looked around and spotted Yvonne coming out of the trees. Flashing her headlights to attract her attention she saw the young girl start to run towards her. Getting out of the car to meet her Barbara saw immediately the distress in the young girl's eyes and longed to reach out to her. Not waiting Barbara ran towards the girl and they met about half way from the tree line and immediately threw their arms around each other. Barbara could feel and hear Yvonne's deep sobs as she stroked her hair gently. A thrill went through her too when she felt Yvonne's young body come in crushing contact with her own and her breasts compress against the girl's chest. "There, there, honey. Let it out. Let it all out," Barbara cooed as she slowly rocked Yvonne in her arms and caressed her shiny blonde hair. "Oh Barbara, I don't know what's happening to me! Please hold me!" Yvonne cried into Barbara's shoulder as she continued to comfort her. "Honey, I think whatever it is it's a good thing. But I'm not letting you stay alone in those woods tonight. You're coming home with me," Barbara ordered. Yvonne quietly nodded yes and continued to cry and sniffle quietly as Barbara led her slowly over to her car, opened the passenger door and sat her inside, doing up her seatbelt in the process. In the driver's seat Barbara handed her some tissues from her purse then took Yvonne's small hand in hers briefly before starting the engine then held it again most of the way home. Both woman and girl realized on the drive to Barbara's place that things had drastically changed in their relationship, that they were on the verge of making some deeper connection to each other and that felt a little scary to both. All Barbara could think of was please don't let me mess this up as the two of them headed up in the elevator to her penthouse. In moments, as they entered the condo hand in hand, both felt the strange sensation that they somehow belonged here together at this moment and anxiously hoped it was mutual. Chapter Two As Yvonne entered Barbara's penthouse she was overwhelmed by the huge picture window view of the ocean many stories below that greeted her as she walked through the doorway and exited from a short angled hallway. Looking around she also felt a little intimidated by the understated luxury that surrounded her. Everything just oozed quality, from the original colorful oil paintings on the walls to the dark walnut furniture and pearl white upholstery. Elegant, that was the word for it. Barbara's place was elegant much like Barbara herself, Yvonne decided. "Gosh," Yvonne exclaimed. "You must be rich!" words she instantly regretted. "I mean, sorry, you're place is so beautiful! I've never seen a place like this before," she said gazing around with awe and wonder in her bright blue eyes. Barbara laughed. "Yes I suppose it is. I've never seen it through the eyes of someone else like you before." she realized. "It makes me appreciate what I have all over again. So thank you for your compliment honey. Do you like the view?" she asked Yvonne, guiding her over to her floor-to-ceiling tempered glass picture window as she remembered sharply her own despondency and total disinterest in this same view just a few short days ago. "It's awesome!" Yvonne exclaimed as she felt Barbara's hand and arm rest comfortably on her shoulders as she stared out at the magnificent panorama of nighttime city lights reflecting off the ocean. They ringed the bay like a multi-colored jewel necklace and lit the sky up behind them with a warm green fading to dark blue and on into black. Then Yvonne felt herself getting warm flashes from the intimate but very welcome contact with her new friend, feeling Barbara's breast lightly pressing into her shoulder as she continued to hold Yvonne to her side. A physical excitement began stirring deep inside her. "I think maybe we should talk," Barbara said gently. "But first I'll make us a snack, would you like that?" "Yeah, I'm kinda hungry and I'd, well, like to talk if that's okay," "Of course it is. Now sit back and relax. I'll only be a few minutes," Barbara said as she walked off to the kitchen and began preparing some tomato sandwiches, cookies and ice cream. As Barbara worked away in the kitchen Yvonne took stock of her feelings, aside from the ones she knew she had to acknowledge and then release, those horrible emotions from her past. The fact was that Barbara turned her on, only it wasn't just a sexual thing Yvonne knew, it was love. She was falling head over heels in love with this beautiful, rich, kind and yes, sexy woman and that scared her. Barbara had said she loved her, but what had she meant by that? Was it a kind of motherly love or did she feel the same way Yvonne did? She simply didn't know and this made her uneasy and afraid to take any action that might provide her with the answer, dreading the pain and loss she'd feel if she were rejected. Yvonne decided to keep her feelings about Barbara to herself for now but that was hard when the object of her passionate affection entered the room carrying a tray full of sandwiches and snacks. She looks so marvelous, she thought as she took in the tight lines of Barbara's clothing and then got a peek down her blouse when she bent over to rest the tray on the coffee table. Yvonne blushed and hoped that Barbara hadn't noticed her staring at her cleavage. Barbara had indeed noticed and a frisson of excitement ran through her when she realized the young girl in front of her had just checked out her boobs. Careful, Barbara told herself. That isn't why you brought her home. The girl is much too confused and befuddled right now to know what she wants sexually or otherwise and I must be the adult here. One wrong move and I could lose her for good, she thought anxiously. After making sure Yvonne felt comfortable helping herself Barbara sat down beside her on her large plush white couch. "So what would you like to talk about precious? Would you like me to ask questions or do you just want to tell it all to me while I just listen. Either way is fine with me," Barbara offered. "And hey, I'm a lawyer. Anything you tell me is completely confidential, so don't be afraid," she laughed lightly. "And I'm probably unshockable. Nothing you tell me is going to change the way I feel about you sweetheart, okay?" "Really? You're a lawyer? Oh wow, I never talked to a lawyer before," Yvonne said both truthfully and to buy herself some time. Unburdening her soul to this woman would be a huge act of trust and she wasn't sure she was ready. On the other hand all her feelings were so close to the surface, badly needed ventilating, and Barbara had followed through on every promise so far. She was sure she could trust her but would she be turned off by things like her rape? Would she see Yvonne after that as just another piece of trailer park trash and not worthy of her deeper affections? Briefly her fears fought against her need to disclose, but then one look into Barbara's warm grey eyes convinced her to take the chance, that everything just might be okay and that Barbara would still feel the same about her afterwards, just as she had said. Mustering up her courage Yvonne began to tell her gruesome tale of neglect and abuse that Barbara had only half expected. While her own mother had been an alcoholic, Yvonne's was a heroin and crack addict and it became clear to Barbara that there was a big difference between these addictions and the effects they had had on each as children. Yvonne told of being made to watch her mother turning tricks, as her mother earned extra money by having the child in the room, of watching the blood squirt from hers veins as she tried to shoot up, of constantly moving from hotels to rooming houses to social housing during the brief times her mother tried to get clean, and of fleeing in the middle of the night because the rent wasn't paid. Yvonne's one salvation had been school but she found it difficult to fit in because of her frequent changes of address and from the poor quality of her clothing and hygiene. She was frequently taunted and bullied but endured because some of the teachers cared and recognized the brilliance of her young mind and encouraged her to keep trying. And Yvonne had kept trying, right up until that night when her mother's latest boyfriend, in a frenzied drunken state, decided he wanted the daughter too and Yvonne's world turned upside down. Barbara listened horrified as Yvonne related the events of that terrible evening some five months ago on what had been in fact her twelfth birthday. While Yvonne cited each of the details of that terrifying night her voice became almost mechanical in its delivery. It was Barbara who had tears streaming down her face, whose emotions were laid out and flayed raw by each revelation of the cruelty and suffering meted out by this boyfriend, this beast who had Yvonne's mother stand by and watch the whole sordid and wretched scene unfold. "Oh my God, honey, how could anyone treat you that way? It's monstrous!" cried Barbara as she scooped young Yvonne into her arms and rocked her and held her tight, so tight she realized the poor thing probably couldn't breath, and she eased up. "It was pretty bad alright," said Yvonne into Barbara's blouse. "I was all bloody, you know, down there, and real scared that he was gonna hurt me some more but he stopped and his thing got soft and he grabbed my mom, took her outside and left me alone. I cleaned up as best I could and I was in a lot of pain. To feel safe I spent the night in the closet with the door shut. In the morning I just grabbed all my things and ran away down here. I haven't seen either of them since and I never want to again." Yvonne stated adamantly. At that admission Yvonne's own tears began flowing again and Barbara just held her and cherished her, swearing to her over and over again that she would never let anyone harm her like that ever again, ever baby, ever... They stayed locked in each other's arms for what seemed hours when Yvonne pulled back finally and asked to use the bathroom while wiping the tears from her eyes. "Over there on the left," Barbara directed. "While you're in there I'll get you some night clothes and we'll see where you can sleep. If you want a shower feel free honey. There's lots of soap, towels and shampoo. A nice hot shower might make you feel a whole lot better," she added. Yvonne answered saying that sounded like a great idea and off she went. When she was alone in Barbara's toilette and the door closed she looked around. She'd never seen a bathroom this big before or so pretty. Everything was pink and lavender colored and smelled deliciously of exotic soaps and perfumes. Ahead of her was a full length mirror and she watched herself undress. She first kicked off her old runners and socks then unbuttoned her jeans and let them fall in a heap on the floor. She pulled her white T-shirt over her head and stood naked, underwear being something of a luxury in her world, and then she looked closely at her body. Given her age Yvonne thought she looked okay but she had never really taken the time to study herself before or see herself as a sexual being. She was slim and very trim after her months living rough, about 5 feet tall, and she'd managed somehow to keep most of her weight on. Her breasts were as yet small prominences on her chest but her nipples had grown and darkened over the past year. Between her legs all of the abrasions and bruising had finally healed but she noticed she could see more of her labial lips than before, an unwanted result of her rape that had brutally ripped away her hymen. She noticed too, that her clitoris was now more pronounced, peeking out almost shyly from the top of her hairless slit. Is it all enough though to keep Barbara interested in her? And what if Barbara were only into men? Yvonne shivered at this thought but decided to let these questions go for now as she stepped lightly instead into the steamy shower she had set for herself. One thing at a time. If her life had taught her anything to this point it was patience. As the warm steamy water poured over her she let the heady, almost blissful feeling of healing wash through her as well from her disclosures to Barbara and her obvious acceptance of her afterward. It had felt so good unloading all that stuff to her. Barbara, still attempting to process everything Yvonne had told her, had meanwhile got busy on her guest room, unused for many months, by airing it out, fluffing it up and otherwise getting it ready for its latest guest. She also dug out a size large white cotton T-shirt that ought to suit Yvonne for the night. My God, what that poor child's been through, she thought as she continued. Barbara's own bed was a king size posturepedic sea of goose down underlays, satin sheets and plush comforters. Being a very sensuous person she ensured that her sleeping area matched her passion for soft, gentle textures that allowed her to drift off to sleep as if borne on a cloud. It had been a long time since anyone had shared that bed with her though, she recognized with some sadness. As Barbara emerged from the guest room she saw Yvonne exiting the bathroom. She looked so adorable with that big blue bath towel wrapped around her body while a smaller towel graced her head and hair. She was all freshly pink and smiles as she came up to Barbara and grinned a big grin. "Your bathroom is awesome! I've lived with my mom in rooms smaller than that!" she exclaimed with a laugh. "So you're feeling better are you?" "Yeah, and thank you so much for listening to me and being here for me tonight. I hope I didn't like gross you out or anything," "No way, honey pie. If anything I love you even more now than I did before." "Really? You don't know how much that means to me right now," Yvonne said with a small sob as she embraced Barbara in a warm almost passionate hug. Barbara could feel the dampness of Yvonne's young body pressed into hers and resisted the urge to simply strip the bath towel away and feel her warm naked skin next to her. My God, I'm losing it, she thought. "Honey, there's a big old T-shirt in the guest room you can put on and then I'll blow dry your hair for you. How would that be?" "That would be wonderful!" exclaimed Yvonne. Barbara watched her scamper around the corner into the guest room and marveled at how cute she looked when she re- emerged wearing the size large white T-shirt. "This feels just so cool!" Yvonne declared as she modeled the shirt for Barbara, even letting it twirl out as she spun around, which allowed Barbara to catch a brief glimpse of her bare rear end, something she wasn't at all expecting to see. Oh my, what an angel, she thought, staring at her blonde hair and the snow white shirt that fell to her knees. All she's missing are the wings, a halo, and underpants. "Okay sit over here, Yvonne," Barbara indicated a chocolate colored kitchen chair she'd brought into the living room. "Then I can brush and dry that lovely blonde hair of yours." She set about gathering together her blow dryer, comb, and hair brush and recovering somewhat from the sight of Yvonne's bare pink ass cheeks. Yvonne quickly sat down with Barbara behind her and felt the gentle heat of the dryer at work on her scalp. Barbara would take each long strand of hair into the brush then slowly apply the dryer inch by inch until each strand was done. Yvonne relaxed into the gentle sensuous rhythm of Barbara's ministrations to the point where she almost fell asleep. Heaven, she decided, could not get much better than this. For Barbara's part she was having similar feelings to Yvonne's. This simple act of grooming is so bonding, she mused. She could see the look of almost ecstasy on Yvonne's face as she continued, strand after strand, to dry the young girl's hair. It was a look almost what? Sexual? You're dreaming, she sighed to herself as she continued until finally the job was done. "My God honey, you're so beautiful!" Barbara gushed as she took in the sight of Yvonne's perfect little face framed by dry, clean, shimmering blonde hair. Yvonne herself had never had this kind of attention paid to her before and ran to look in a nearby cabinet mirror. She squealed in delight then ran back to Barbara and without thinking kissed her full on the lips. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..." "Hey, hey, it's okay," Barbara reassured her feeling delightfully flustered. "I haven't been kissed in a long time. It was nice, baby. Don't worry," but she continued to look mortified, both hands sealing off her lips. "You mean it was okay? Kissing you like that?" Slowly Yvonne relaxed and dropped her hands. "More than okay baby," Barbara looked at her with a desperately passionate look that she quickly tried to cover up but too late. Yvonne had noticed. A surge of sexual energy rushed through the girl as she recognized the look on Barbara's face. For all of being only twelve there are some things that are just instinctual, like being able to read the lust in a potential lover's eyes. Yvonne responded coyly. "You mean you liked me kissing you?" Yvonne asked with a grin and her eyes full of something almost mischievous. "Yes I did, so don't feel bad about it. In fact," Barbara held her breath. "You can kiss me whenever you like," she exhaled and noticed the look of wonder in Yvonne's eyes as the meaning of her words sunk in. For Barbara this was as forward as she ever wanted to get. The kiss had been enchanting, feeling the girl's full lips in contact with her own, but she didn't want to push herself onto her but she didn't want to close the door on any further intimacies either. God, I'm being so bad, she berated herself. Yvonne was slightly less confused by Barbara's offer. In fact she saw it as an invitation to start taking some initiative, as something that freed her from her dreadful fear of rejection. What in the world had possessed her to kiss this woman? She wasn't going to analyze it. Grown ups probably get freaked out by stuff like this though so I'll take things slowly, Yvonne concluded. At the same time she was so excited because she might, just might, after all her years of struggle, strife and pain, get it all; the girl, the condo and the whole new life she so desperately craved. Was that being selfish, she wondered, then realized it didn't matter. If anyone deserved a break it was her, she decided. For whatever reason Barbara loved her and that was good enough. And she now recognized, with something like a flash, that she loved her back with probably equal intensity. "So, do I get to kiss you good night then?" Yvonne asked somewhat provocatively. Barbara felt a wave of heat pass through her body. "You sure do, but bedtime's a little ways ahead yet," she deferred cautiously. "Do you want to watch some TV first?" Yvonne quickly nodded yes and Barbara handed her the remote. "While you're doing that I'll go have a shower myself and change into my night clothes too. Be back in a flash sweetie! And have some more ice cream if you'd like," Barbara called over her shoulder as she headed down the hall for the shower. When Barbara had reached the sanctity of her bathroom she noticed the humidity left over from Yvonne's shower, but noted too that everything was otherwise in order, including the folded washcloth, soap and shampoo bottle placed exactly where they'd been before Yvonne's visit. Her clothes too, were neatly folded and placed on the counter. Well, if you're trying to score points, you just have, Barbara laughed as she began undressing. She too looked herself over in the full length bathroom mirror and thought she still looked pretty damned good for fifty. Her breasts were still firm and capped by large pink nipples that she noticed were extended in excitement. Her long legs were trim and the small triangle of brown pubic hair at her groin topped them off nicely. Who wouldn't want me? Barbara giggled before stepping into the hot shower. Once inside Barbara let the stress and tension of the last few days wash out of her. She's here, she likes me and I think she wants to stay, she decided confidently. And maybe, just maybe there's something sexual bubbling under her careful exterior, Barbara thought wickedly, reliving the moment of their first kiss once again. Taking her time Barbara luxuriated in the hot flowing water, letting it play over her body endlessly, easing her tired neck and shoulders especially, where she knew she always carried her tension and stress. After a quick shampoo and rinse she turned off the shower and, feeling thoroughly refreshed, she prepared to venture forth into this new relationship with Yvonne, wondering at the possibilities it might bring to fruition for both of them. She found Yvonne comfortably planted on the couch watching blaring music videos. As soon as she spied Barbara though she turned down the volume. "Sorry, I guess that was a little loud, huh?" Yvonne asked, immediately endearing herself to Barbara, while she in turn quietly admired Barbara's body swathed in a big pink wrap-around bath towel. She is just so gorgeous, Yvonne enthused to herself. "Oh no worries. I grew up in the sixties and seventies. Loud music doesn't bother me," Barbara laughed then sat down at the other end of the couch. "Hey, you want me to blow dry your hair too?" Yvonne asked her. "Well sure, if I'm not interrupting your program," Barbara said. "That would be nice, thank you!" Seating herself in the same chair Yvonne had recently occupied she propped herself up and waited for Yvonne to start. "My hair's kind of short. You don't need to comb or brush it, hon." "Aw, but I want to," Yvonne pouted. Signaling her surrender Barbara gave in and thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of being pampered by this young pretty scamp she was falling in love with. After a few precious minutes under her tender care Yvonne announced proudly that she was finished. "Go look!" she urged Barbara. Barbara went to the same mirror Yvonne had used and actually liked the job she'd taken such pains to do. She turned around with a big smile on her face. "It's wonderful, love. You did a great job!" Then she surprised Yvonne by coming over and returning her kiss, but this time letting it linger a few moments longer. She sensed Yvonne responding and was excitedly encouraged to go farther but stopped, pulling away as she gazed into Yvonne's dreamy looking face and smiled. "You see, kisses are okay honey." "Oh my!" was all Yvonne said as she moved in for a big hug. "But I still get to kiss you goodnight too, remember?" "How could I forget? I look forward to it!" After this erotically charged moment Barbara moved off to her bedroom to change. Oh my God, she thought as she slipped on some panties and a large T-Shirt with a big Garfield on it. I think she's really into going further. I'd better be careful! When Barbara came back out she joined Yvonne on the couch and watched the videos with her. Some she even enjoyed but with the others she realized contentedly this is just something she's just going to have to get used to, not that she was complaining. "Honey, guess what?" Barbara asked during a commercial break. "Maybe you don't know this but tomorrow's your birthday." "No, my birthday..." "No honey. That wasn't a birthday you had last time. I'm going to help you celebrate it all over again tomorrow and, if you'd like, I want to start off by taking you shopping, would that be okay?" "Gosh yes!" "And I'd also like you to consider living here with me from now on. Of course you don't have to make your mind up right away..." Yvonne simply squealed "Oh my God, this is so too much. You mean like move in now and...and never have to go back to the woods...and live here in this like, mansion? With you? You really like me that much?" she gasped. Did she hear right? Did Barbara really want her to live here with her? Barbara almost cried when she saw the look of cataclysmic joy on Yvonne's eager face. "God, I love you sweetheart, you precious baby. Yeah I like you that much. What do you think of that?" "I think I want to stay here almost forever!" Yvonne burst out in astonishment. "Well, we'll take things a day at a time, honey, and worry about forever some other day, but you can stay as long as you like. How's that?" "Perfect! I mean that's the best birthday present I could ever get! Thank you!" "Tomorrow's going to be a special day too honey, you'll see," Barbara promised. "Oooo, I know it will. I can't wait! And I think it's even bedtime now," she said as her program ended. "So do I get to give you that goodnight kiss then?" Barbara simply moved her head down and touched her lips tenderly against Yvonne's. Then she felt Yvonne's hand gently place itself on her shoulder and the kiss intensify. Following Yvonne's lead Barbara stayed with her and heard Yvonne moan as the kiss deepened and Barbara ever so slightly opened her lips and met Yvonne's eager tongue with hers. Both tentatively explored each other then they each grew bolder until finally their mouths were wide open and their tongues delved deep into each other's throat, probing and dueling, endlessly tangling around and around each other. Barbara felt dizzy with desire but knew she had to pull back before things got out of control. "Sweet Jesus, baby, that was a pretty grown up kiss." Barbara panted, holding Yvonne away from her by both shoulders. "You know where that was heading don't you, little one? You must know that that is in no way a condition of my accepting you here. I'd be devastated if you felt you had to please me like this just to stay here." "Oh my God, no!" cried Yvonne. "I am so in love with you it hurts. I would never do that, I promise! Oh please say it's okay?" Seeing the pleading, hurt look in Yvonne's clear blue eyes Barbara's heart melted. "Oh yes honey it's okay. I just need to be sure. This is such a big step and it's happening so fast I'm really nervous. And I love you more than you can ever know, sweetheart, but I'm fifty years old. Are you sure you want me as a lover? And what about boys? Surely you'll want someone your own age sooner or later..." "Barbara no! I've always liked girls. I know I'm gay and all kids my own age ever did was tease me and give me a hard time. The only people nice to me are adults, older people like my teachers and you. Please, I really want you as my, well, girlfriend. I can't bear to think about not being with you! And what about you, do you like girls too? I mean..." "Yes honey, I'm gay too. Funny how that work's out. I won't be leaving you for some man any time soon," she laughed. Barbara succumbed to her pleading and questioning and hugged her close. "But you know baby, there's going to be times where I'm going to have to be the parent," she said by way of affirming her acceptance of their relationship. "Not often I hope but you're still a young minor and, just to let you know, nobody can know about us and I mean nobody. Not street friends nor anyone else. Can you handle that?" "I never want to go down to those streets again ever! I hated my life with my mother and I hate living in the park and the street even more. I've figured out that that's not who I am or where I belong. Here just feels so right to me and I know how to keep secrets. I always knew what to tell and not tell the social workers to stay out of foster care, the police and doctors too," While some foster homes were no doubt excellent all Yvonne had ever heard were the horror stories from other kids. Better the devil she knew with her mother. "I learned that much. Please don't worry about that, okay?" Yvonne assured her. "I keep forgetting how grown up you can be sometimes and no, I won't worry honey," Barbara said sincerely. "Now, about bedtime," she paused nervously. "Would you like to sleep with me tonight?" she invited, hardly believing that things had progressed so far so fast, or that she'd said what she just did. "I'd like to take things a little slowly but I'd be thrilled if you'd cuddle up next to me tonight. Would that be okay?" "Better than okay! I'd so love to sleep with you tonight, you just don't know!" Yvonne enthused. Barbara led her slowly into her bedroom that was done up largely in different shades of blue. Exclaiming her astonishment at the luxurious layout of Barbara's boudoir Yvonne ran over to the bed and jumped on top of her pastel blue duvet cover and instantly felt the incredible softness of the goose down underlay beneath it. "Oh my God, it's like you're a queen or something!" she pronounced with awe. "And you're my little princess," Barbara said with a laugh while drawing back the covers. "Come on sweetie, in you get," she ordered. Yvonne didn't hesitate and dove in between Barbara's dark indigo satin sheets and lay there in the middle of the king size bed with the covers pulled up to her chin. Barbara briefly adored the sight of her pretty young face sticking out from the sea of blue that surrounded her before climbing into bed beside her. "Now come here and cuddle," Barbara ordered again. "Okay, but how about I give you another goodnight kiss first," Yvonne giggled, moving next to Barbara and relishing the feel of her warm body touching hers. "Oh, I suppose," said Barbara in mock indifference as their lips met again in another searing kiss. Pulling back slightly Barbara began kissing Yvonne's cheeks, eyes and ears, finishing at her tender young neck. "Oh sweetheart, you taste so good," Barbara murmured as she continued. Nothing in her entire life had felt more right than this. How could that be? "I feel like I'm in heaven or some kind of dream," Yvonne whispered. "I just hope I never wake up!" She moved closer to Barbara and felt the fullness of her breasts against her chest and the urgent contact her hips were making. She decided to relax and submit to whatever desires Barbara might have, trusting in her completely. "Honey, tonight we're just going to kiss and cuddle but remember," Barbara reminded her. "Tomorrow's your birthday sweetheart, so anything you want to do here, or not do here, is okay. Can you wait?" Can I wait? mused Barbara. How deliciously sweet she is, Yvonne thought. "Yes I can wait. I guess this is going to be some birthday, huh?" she giggled. "Yep, as good as I can make it," Barbara promised and with that she turned Yvonne over and spooned with her, giving little butterfly kisses to her neck and ear. "That tickles," she murmured happily. Barbara continued until she felt Yvonne slowly unwind and fall into a deep relaxed sleep. Yes, girlfriend it's going to be some birthday for you. The best I can make it, Barbara promised again as she too slowly drifted off into a deep satisfying slumber. Chapter 3 Barbara awoke early before Yvonne and lay on her side watching her sleep. Her long golden hair was fanned out on either side of her face and, along with her snow white T-shirt, reminded her of how much Yvonne looked exactly like the little angel she had become to Barbara, rescuing her from a life full of despair and meaninglessness. Seeing her looking so innocent and vulnerable she couldn't resist and leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Yvonne stirred sleepily then opened her eyes. "Oh that felt nice," Yvonne yawned tiredly, giving Barbara a great big smile. "You looked so beautiful lying there I couldn't resist. And happy birthday darling." "Thank you Barbara. You say the most wonderful things to me. Do you want me to get up now?" "Only if you want to. It's still early if you want to sleep some more. I'm getting up though and having a shower. Then can I cook you breakfast? How about omelets, do you like those?" Barbara asked, anxious to cook the first meal they would share together. "I'll wake you when it's all ready." "I love omelets! That would be so cool!" Yvonne quickly embraced Barbara and gave her a small kiss. "Mmm," cooed Barbara. "Can't have dessert before the main meal, you know," she giggled. "Rats." As if in a huff, Yvonne turned over and pretended to sleep. Barbara laughed at her then headed for the shower. Getting under the steaming water she realized she'd never felt so excited or alive. This young girl was working miracles in her life. And all this at my age and all from someone so young. She'd never been attracted to young girls before and she was still a bit mystified by her feelings but she decided not to question them any longer. Everything up to now seemed too right and good. Getting out of the shower she went into the bedroom to discover that Yvonne had indeed fallen back asleep. So as not to disturb her and avoid the awkward situation of being naked in front of her (she wanted the first time to be a bit more romantic), she gathered together the clothes she wanted to wear and went out to the living room to change. Fully dressed in casual slacks and a frilly white top she liked she put on socks and sneakers to match and proceeded to the kitchen. Whipping up the eggs, grating the cheese, chopping the onions, celery, and ham Barbara discovered a new love for the domestic arts. Cooking for someone you love is so much better than cooking for yourself, she pondered, thinking of all the money she had spent eating out all these years. A good thing something told her last week to stock up the fridge and pantry. She was actually a good cook and thoroughly enjoyed this chance to pick up the skills again. When the meal was finally prepared and places set at the kitchen table complete with toast, marmalade, jam and two large glasses of orange juice, she went in to call Yvonne. "Breakfast's ready honey!" she announced from the bedroom door. "Okay, I'm up," Yvonne said with a yawn. "Wow, it smells delicious! Omelets are my favorite," she enthused. Getting out of bed she padded her way barefoot to the kitchen in her long white T-shirt, a sight that Barbara found simply too endearing for words. When she arrived at the table Yvonne immediately spied a bran muffin Barbara had set out for her, with a glowing birthday candle stuck in the middle of it. "Happy birthday sweetheart. It was the best I could do on short notice." "It's all so marvelous! Oh thank you Barbara, thank you so much!" Yvonne exclaimed running over to hug her tightly, then lifting up her head and standing on tip toes she kissed her affectionately on the lips. "Mmm, let's eat. I'm starving. Bet you are too." Barbara enjoined. They both sat down as Yvonne made a silent, very naughty wish and blew out the candle. Tucking in to their breakfast Barbara watched as Yvonne wolfed down every scrap of food in front of her and finished by gulping down her big glass of OJ. Announcing she was done and how yummy it was she sat and watched Barbara finish hers off at a more leisurely pace. With breakfast done Barbara cleared off the table and sent Yvonne to the living room to gather up the remains of last night's snack. Together they loaded the dishwasher and then Barbara scooted her off to the shower. When she was done and dressed again they both sat back down at the kitchen table. "Okay, here's the plan sweetheart," said Barbara. "I'm going to take you round to the downtown mall and get you a whole new wardrobe and all the other stuff you're going to need. School's only a couple of weeks a way too, but we'll talk more about that when we're done. Along the way I'll buy us a nice lunch and then we'll see about your birthday present. Sound good so far?" "You mean I get a birthday present on top of all that other stuff?" Yvonne marveled. "Yep, so start thinking about what that might be. And it better be expensive!" Barbara laughed. "Ever hear those words before?" "No ma'am and thank you. I can't believe it!" As they headed for Barbara's car, Yvonne's head was awhirl with possibilities. She'd never bought new clothes like this before. Always her pants, jeans, T- shirts and tops had come from thrift shops or occasionally from cheap discount stores. What did she want to wear? She hoped Barbara was going to help her pick out what looked nice on her. She had some ideas of what she wanted but her lack of experience in these matters made her feel a bit uncertain, even afraid. She didn't want to appear as some kind of fashion geek to this woman who had become so important in her life. Yvonne needn't have worried. Barbara was sensitive to the fact that this was undoubtedly a new experience for Yvonne and she guided her through the process like the fashion maven she was. Looking good in her field had been mandatory and Barbara had developed a good fashion sense early, something she now willingly passed along to her young charge. "What we need to figure out first is which colors suit you the best," Barbara said. "My guess is you're a winter person, so let's look at blues, blacks, grays, and whites first." She said, remembering how precious Yvonne had looked framed in her bed in blue and white. So saying they went through shops, department stores, and boutiques trying on slacks, skirts, blouses, tops, shirts, jackets and coats until Yvonne began feeling all tuckered out. Ending this expedition therefore and loaded down with purchases, they had a pick-me-up drink from the Orange Julius stand and dropped their shopping bags into the trunk of the Lexus. Then they went looking for shoes. At the first shoe store they bought Yvonne three pairs of high priced runners that matched the rest of her wardrobe, and then they headed for the upscale ladies shoe store that Barbara often shopped at. There Yvonne was treated to the look and feel of truly elegant foot wear, made from hand-crafted leather, rich suede and other materials she could only guess at. All her choices were on the conservative side, which seemed to suit Yvonne. At least in fashion she preferred not to make bold statements. She wanted in fact, to look as nice and quietly stylish as Barbara. Next on the agenda were toiletries, underwear, make-up, and other sundries. Barbara chose all the make-up for Yvonne because the girl had never bought or worn any before. She completely trusted Barbara's judgment in that domain. Socks, underwear and, after a bit of discussion, training and sports bras were added to the pile, as were pantyhose, hair brushes, a comb and manicure set, Yvonne's own choice of fragrant soaps, shampoo, and conditioner, along with a few colorful berets and hair ties and bands, some bits of moderately expensive jewelry, toothbrushes, deodorant and everything else a respectable twelve year old girl ought to have, including a pair of designer sunglasses. Thoroughly shopped out the pair headed down to Barbara's car and deposited the rest of their purchases in the trunk. Yvonne felt decidedly grungy in her T- shirt and jeans and asked if she couldn't change into some of the clothes they'd just bought before going to lunch. Deciding that was a good idea Barbara elected to keep watch while Yvonne carried her selections into the back seat and began her transformation. She reluctantly refused to peek. When Yvonne emerged she took Barbara's breath away. Her long blonde hair was tied back with a black silk hair band and crowned with her new sun glasses. She also wore a white open neck polo shirt with blue and gray trim at the collar and cuffs, complete with a small pretty silver necklace around her throat. She had also changed into a pair of tailored looking navy blue shorts, white ankle socks and the dark blue trimmed white Nike's she'd been wearing since Barbara had bought them. Set off against her light summer tan she looked like a graceful young catalogue model. "My God, you look gorgeous, honey! I can't believe it," Barbara was close to tears. "Turn around and let me look at you," Yvonne obediently did a slow twirl then curtseyed. "Oh, you are so lovely Yvonne, you flabbergast me!" Yvonne giggled and hugged Barbara. "I like you looking at me," she said excitedly then both of them got in to the car, did up their seat belts and drove off to lunch. Barbara took them to a good quality seafood place near her building and suggested the fish and chips to Yvonne. Accepting her advice Yvonne was allowed to order for herself and Barbara ordered the same, along with club sodas for them both. Barbara suddenly recognized with gratitude that her urge for alcohol was completely gone, something else she could chalk up to her angel from the street. "So, have you decided on a birthday present yet?" Barbara asked as they were finishing their meal. "Yes I have. Can it be anything?" "How about anything so long as it fits in the car. I'm not lugging home a pony, okay?" Barbara laughed. "No, no. What I want is a really nice watch, like yours." She remembered the watch Barbara had given her in the park but wanted to keep that one somewhere safe and permanently set at 8 o'clock. Then Yvonne paused. "Lingerie," she said. "Some really nice lingerie because I want to look special for you. Is that okay?" "Oh my goodness, that is so sweet, and so sexy! Yeah you can have those if that's what you want." Assuring Barbara that she did they finished their meal, paid the bill and headed uptown first to Barbara's favorite jewelry store then on to Victoria's Secret. Yvonne picked out a delicate gold and platinum Swiss watch with a suitably large price tag, as Barbara had ordered, then off they went in search of lingerie. Yvonne wanted to make her selections a surprise so Barbara asked the sales clerk to assist Yvonne while she went off and bought a few things for herself. She told her, just to allay any suspicions, that Yvonne was her niece and she wanted to freak out her sister. The clerk laughed and bought in to the story, playing her role eagerly. She left her credit card with Yvonne and told her not to worry about the price. About forty five minutes later Barbara returned, signed the credit card receipt, thanked the clerk and let Yvonne carry her hidden purchases back to the car. Although she was dying to see what she'd selected she respected Yvonne's wishes and didn't ask to look. "Honey, that is just so sweet of you to buy lingerie to wear for me. I can't wait to see you in it," Barbara told her as they drove home. "I've always dreamed of having nice lingerie," Yvonne sighed happily. "You mean I can put it on for you when we get to home?" "You sure can, baby doll. Today is your day, remember? Anything you want when we get home is fine with me," Like I'm complaining about this request. Oh my, she thought, this is all so wicked. When they finally parked in Barbara's underground space the first thing Yvonne did was take her old T-shirt, jeans, and runners and toss them in the trash. "I never want to wear jeans again ever. That's all I've worn most of my life and I hate them," she declared. So that's why she didn't pick out any blue jeans, Barbara thought. Well I can't blame her and I'm certainly not complaining. Barbara was no fan of jeans herself. Acknowledging Yvonne's decision she set to, gathering up all their purchases for the trip up the elevator. Both of them, fully laden, finally made it to the elevator. Barbara had to fumble with her pass card at the elevator and again at her door before they finally made it through and home. "Come on, let's dump these things in the guest room which is now officially your room by the way. Of course we can sleep together but I want you to have your own private space too, and it will look good when we have guests. What do you think?" "Oh yeah, I think that's great! And I can decorate it and everything?" Yvonne asked excitedly. "You betcha! You can even have your own computer if you like. Something tells me you'd be good at that. In fact I bet soon you'll be teaching me things on it." "I love computers. We had them in school. But one of my very own, and the internet too?" "Of course. It's no problem to network off my connection. Till then you're welcome to use mine any time you like, okay?" Yvonne was ecstatic as they began putting away all her new things, taking off the tags, then sorting and hanging them up, putting them in drawers, arranging in the process her jewelry, manicure set, make-up, hair brush, and combs on the vanity which came with a large oval mirror that had an adjustable angle. Eventually all that remained were Yvonne's two Victoria's Secret bags. "Okay, you gotta leave now 'cause I'm going to give you a fashion show, remember?" "How could I forget, sweetheart! I'll wait for you in the living room." Yvonne paused after Barbara left then started undressing. She was amazed at how unselfconscious she was about showing her body off to Barbara. In fact the whole idea was turning her on big time. When nude she stroked herself and preened a moment in front of her mirror before picking out her first garment. As Barbara exited what was now Yvonne's room she closed the door softly behind her. She made her way to the couch and sat down waiting in excited anticipation to see what Yvonne had chosen. A few minutes later Yvonne's door opened and she strode out briskly into Barbara's view, stopped in front of her, and did a slow pirouette. Barbara gasped and clapped her hands to her face. Yvonne had on a black shear lace teddy that provocatively hid her nipples and pussy, but revealed just about everything else including her deliciously rounded butt and her perfectly sculpted legs. She's such a tease! Barbara thought but the sight of her pink little ass through the black lace was certainly enough satisfaction for now. My God, what next? Her temperature was fast rising. Next turned out to be a white lacey camisole that clearly allowed Barbara to see Yvonne's little puffy coral colored nipples and breasts for the first time while providing just a glimpse of her hairless pink slit through a pair of matching panties. Barbara thought she might come on the spot, she was getting so hot. The little minx, she thought gleefully. Yvonne watched every look on Barbara's face and could tell she was having a big effect on her. She'd never felt so sexy before than she did now modeling her lingerie for her new lover. Every stare of Barbara's, every gasp and blush made her feel powerful, turned on and wanted, things she'd never ever felt before. After her third presentation of a transparent light blue bra and panties that left nothing to the imagination, Yvonne stopped the show and knelt down in front of Barbara. "That's all for now. I'm saving the rest for another time. Do you like them?" "Like them! Baby doll come here and kiss me before I die of excitement," Barbara and Yvonne embraced standing up and, as their kissing grew steadily more passionate, Barbara's hand drifted down to cup Yvonne's delightful young ass, slipping her hand under her shear panties, stroking it lightly and pulling her in closer to her. Yvonne moaned in approval and both their hips started a slow grinding against each other that signaled their building passion. "Let's go to your bedroom," Yvonne finally panted. "You said I could have anything I wanted and I want you. Right now," she giggled. "Your wish is my command," was all Barbara managed as they slowly walked, arm in arm, down the hall to Barbara's bedroom, their minds smoldering with erotic expectation. "My turn to see you now," Yvonne whispered and began unbuttoning Barbara's blouse. Barbara worked away at her slacks and felt them drop to the floor as Yvonne finished with her blouse. Barbara slipped it off and reached behind her to undo her bra. As it fell through her arms she heard a quick intake of breath from Yvonne. "Gosh you are so beautiful!" "You like my big old titties?" Barbara laughed knowing how much attention Yvonne always paid to them. She slid out of her panties next then moved in to embrace Yvonne. The feel of her naked pink skin against her own was exquisite. She quickly removed Yvonne's delicate see-through bra and panties set and placed them carefully on her nightstand then held her out to admire her naked form. "You are so beautiful," she whispered, looking down at Yvonne's hard pink nipples and cute little hairless slit. Then she picked her up and practically threw her on the unmade bed behind her. "I – I've never done this before..." stuttered Yvonne as Barbara descended on top of her, stopping her words with an enormous soul rattling kiss. Barbara continued kissing her sweet angel, tangling their tongues around and around each other till she pulled back to whisper to Yvonne. "It's okay honey, relax a bit. This is your day, remember? I'll help you along, don't worry. Why don't you play with my breasts? They're very sensitive and I keep seeing you stare at them," Barbara giggled. Yvonne's hands moved eagerly over Barbara's large breasts as she lay flat to give her better access. "That's it baby, feel them, feel how hard my nipples are. They're hard because of you honey, you turn me on so much!" Barbara inhaled sharply as Yvonne kneaded her breast flesh and pulled and teased at her elongated pink nipples. "Now suck them honey. Take them in your mouth, that's it. Ooooh that feels so good, precious!" Yvonne was in heaven with her face buried in Barbara's ample breasts. She had so dreamed of this moment, this perfect moment of her first real sexual experience. She could feel herself getting wet and smelled Barbara's heady musk as well. "Now honey, I want to touch you too, is that okay?" Barbara asked. "Down there as well," she said indicating Yvonne's pink and swollen pussy. "Oh God yes!" hissed Yvonne. "You can do anything you want with me. I'm just so excited!" Barbara could actually feel her trembling as she laid her hand gently on her breast then moved down to suck on her hard coral pink nipples. They tasted like heaven, so small and erect. She bathed them with her tongue and sucked them gently into her mouth and felt the developing swell of her tender young breasts in her hands. Raising her head briefly she trailed her hand slowly down to Yvonne's waiting pussy, just lightly grazing her fingers over her small slit. "Oh Gosh, that feels nice! Please touch me some more!" Yvonne implored her passionately. Driven on by Yvonne's words she let her fingers part her pussy lips and felt how soft and wet she was, and then she concentrated on her little clit, just peeking its head out the top of her pussy. She quickly found the little bud and began to stroke it in rapid little circles as Yvonne's hips started bucking and heaving to her amorous attentions. "Yes baby doll, I want to make you come. Come for me baby, come!" Barbara extolled, continuing to frig Yvonne's sweet clit rapidly. "Oh shit, oh fuck!" Yvonne moaned out, not caring if Barbara was offended as a huge orgasm impended. Anything but offended, Barbara loved Yvonne's dirty talk, which seemed so out of character for her. "Oh my God, I'm coming! I'm coming for you!" Yvonne wailed as a huge climax spread from her steamy hot cunt through her entire body until she arched completely off the bed. Barbara struggled to hold her as her climax continued to wrack her slim young twelve year old body. Yvonne was moaning and crying out her pleasure as her orgasm slowly subsided. Barbara held her tightly murmuring over and over, "Oh my baby, oh my sweet child," stroking her sweaty back all the while, feeling her own swollen breasts pressed hard against her small heaving chest. "Oh, Barbara, I've never come like that before. That was heaven!" Yvonne sobbed into Barbara's shoulder. "Hey, little one, there's lots more where that came from. I can teach you so much," Barbara whispered. "Can I touch your pussy now? It looks scrumptious," Yvonne asked quietly. "You do whatever you like, darling." Yvonne moved her body around and rested her head on Barbara's stomach. Her right hand started to drift slowly down until her fingers began to tangle in Barbara's light coating of pussy fur, sending tiny shivers up Barbara's spine. Exploring further she encountered Barbara's pussy lips and felt her wetness. Slipping her finger into her slit Yvonne began gently stroking her, eventually finding the tight opening to her vagina and slipping two fingers inside. It felt so wet and hot in there she marveled. Then she heard Barbara moan as she began a gentle fucking motion, raising her head a little to watch what she was doing. "God, honey, yes! Fuck me like that! It feels so good," Barbara cried softly as Yvonne continued to probe deeper inside her hot pussy. "Go faster honey, that's it, fuck me faster!" Yvonne complied with Barbara's wishes, loving Barbara's naughty words, and turned to look at her face now contorted with lust. She'd seen that look a few times on her mother's face but this time she knew she was the instrument of this sweet torture and it thrilled her. Pleasing her own precious angel this way pleased her so much she wanted the moment never to end. Remembering what Barbara had done for her Yvonne brought in her other hand and found Barbara's distended, swollen clit and began frigging her there in small rapid circles. Barbara felt the intensity of her coming orgasm and braced to receive its sweet release. Squeezing her own breasts and nipples almost mindlessly she was on the edge of an ecstasy she hadn't experienced in years, if ever. She felt every stroke of Yvonne's busy hands on her cunny. Then it hit her in hot, searing waves of pleasure radiating out from her pussy like a huge tsunami. Every nerve in her body seemed charged with the force of it and her lower limbs shook from its power. It seemed like minutes before she began to relax and started hearing the gentle voice of young Yvonne whispering in her ear, "Oh my God, that was so sweet, that was so awesome, I love you so much, Barbara!" Barbara quickly embraced Yvonne's young sweet body and kissed her deeply, stroking her hair, her back, her sweet little ass over and over, unable to get enough of this young girl to hold on to and to love. As their passion peaked and quelled they both stopped and looked into the other's face, gazing in wonderment and adoration. "God, honey I've never come like that. Thank you so much. That was so special, sweetheart. I love you Yvonne, more than I can ever tell you." Barbara whispered to her softly yet intensely, wanting her words to impress themselves right into her divine soul. Yvonne threw herself against Barbara and began to cry. "Nobody's ever told me that before, not like you do. I just know you do, you're so real to me, so kind and so honest it's a little scary. I just hope I can love you back as much, that I'll be everything you will be proud of, that you won't be disappointed in me." She sobbed. "I'm really not much, you know," she giggled a little. "And I don't have any tits either!" "I love your sweet little titties, honey and hey, until you get some more of your own I've got enough for both of us, so cheer up!" Barbara laughed. "And I already know you won't disappoint me but you have to know that my feelings for you are unconditional," Barbara said looking her straight in the eye. "That means you can screw up, make mistakes and fail from time to time, and I'll still love you just as much. I know there's a lot you've missed in your life, that you maybe don't know a lot of things other girls your age do, but that's not your fault. And I'm making it my job to get you caught up. Is that okay with you?" "I love how you always ask me if it's okay. Everybody else just orders me around all the time. And yes, it's okay with me," Yvonne said looking fondly at her lover. Her lover, gosh that feels so grown up and serious, she thought with delight. "Now how about we have a nice shower together? That'll be fun, don't you think?" asked Barbara. "Gosh yes! And after I can wear my new bath robe, the silky blue one!" Barbara watched fondly as Yvonne ran naked into her room and came out carrying her new treasure over her arm. "Let's go!" she cried and off they went to the shower room. After adjusting the temperature Barbara and Yvonne entered the large stall together and got under the warm spray. The first thing Barbara did was grab the soap and begin washing Yvonne's pink little body all over, especially the sensitive places between her legs, over her ripe little backside, and around her tiny coral peaked breast mounds. Yvonne shivered with all this attention and couldn't wait until it was her turn. Barbara didn't want to stop but she realized Yvonne could only get so clean and probably wanted a turn herself. She graciously handed the soap to her young lover and felt her small hands immediately trace delicious erotic patterns over her skin, paying extra attention to her swelling breasts. Then she washed her back, moving down to fondly stroke her tight ass over and over again. Turning her around to rinse her off she knelt down and lathed a big mound of suds into her throbbing pussy before sensuously running her soapy hands up and down her long legs. Breathing heavily at this point Barbara thought she might be close to another orgasm. "Honey stop a minute. Do you want to watch me get myself off, you know, uh, masturbate?" Barbara said with some trepidation but dying to perform for her young princess. "You've got me all excited," she smiled. "Yes, I mean no, I mean I'll do it..." Yvonne stuttered. "No honey, I want to do this for you, okay?" "Yeah it's okay!" Yvonne enthused. She had never imagined a sexual act like this before but the idea burned in her imagination. Yvonne stood staring as Barbara's hands moved slowly to begin their work. She began with a rough massage of her left breast, pulling on her nipple and squeezing her tit as her right hand delved down between her legs. The hot slippery soap and water acted as potent lubricants, allowing her hands to glide smoothly and effortlessly over her skin. She watched Yvonne's rapt face intently as she began to play with herself in earnest, slipping two fingers into her cunt and fucking herself with hard little slapping sounds. "Oh that looks so cool!" Yvonne whispered as Barbara now began rubbing her extended clit bud in hard round circles using her other hand. As her climax approached she couldn't take her eyes off Yvonne who had that almost dull look of erotic stupefaction on her face she recognized from past sexual encounters like this. Her mouth was open with eyes fixed in place, almost willing Barbara to come. And come she did, with a huge shudder and a moaning of pure sexual pleasure and release. Yvonne continued staring as Barbara slowly came back to earth, spent and happy looking. "That was so cool, Barbara!" Yvonne cried and ran over to embrace her as the steaming hot water washed over their tired bodies, leaving them both almost limp with satisfaction. "I do that, masturbate I mean," Yvonne said quietly. "But I never knew it was so okay. I was always ashamed when I uh, played with myself. I thought it was supposed to be dirty but watching you do it was beautiful and such a turn on! Can I do it for you sometime?" she asked eagerly. "I can't wait, honey bunch. I'd adore watching you. And thank you for saying it was beautiful. I wasn't sure if you were going to like it or not. I'm glad you did and I really liked doing it for you. But for now let's get dried off and into our robes and just hang out for awhile, what do you say?" "Cool, babe!" said Yvonne with a laugh as they got out of the shower. Toweling each other off they each put on their silky kimonos and went to sit down on Barbara's big white couch. Seated close together Barbara asked her. "So how's your birthday so far, little one?" "Awesome! I can't believe how good it is. It's my best birthday ever! I don't think anything will ever be this good. Thank you Barbara, you are just so kind to me and I love you to bits," Yvonne exclaimed. "And just for saying those nice things I'm going to do something special for you. You're still all turned on aren't you?" Yvonne quickly nodded yes. "Okay then, sit back and open your robe. Barbara's gonna give you a great big kiss," Yvonne complied and, being extremely curious about what was to happen next, she bared her naked young body to Barbara's heated gaze. Barbara knelt down in front of her and proceeded to kiss her stomach and then her belly button, which sent tingles right into Yvonne's clitoris. Moving lower she at last seized her main prize and glued her eager mouth over Yvonne's hairless young pussy. Yvonne was at first shocked, never actually having heard about oral sex between women before, but was soon caught up in the shear pleasure of it as she felt Barbara's lips and tongue hard at work on her clit and cunt. "Yes!" she cried "Lick my pussy, lick it!" She reveled in each new sensation as Barbara's tongue first attacked her hardened nub of a clit then moved down to penetrate her hole. "Oh God, fuck me Barbara, fuck me with your mouth. Oh, oh, I can't stand it!" she wailed wrapping her legs tightly around Barbara's head then relaxing to allow her to breathe. Both of Yvonne's hands entwined themselves in Barbara's damp hair as she felt the beginnings of another magnificent climax approaching. "Don't stop, Barbara, please don't stop!" she urged. "Lick my cunt, fuck me with your tongue! Oooo I'm almost there!" She discovered she loved using the 'C' and 'F' words, but hoped Barbara wasn't offended. Barbara was not in the least offended and was in fact hugely turned on by these dirty little words, coming especially as they did from such a beautiful young angel's lips. As her fingers tweaked and pulled at Yvonne's small nipples she continued to bathe her pussy with her tongue, loving her fresh smell and the taste of her musk. As she sucked hard on her small clit and worked a finger into her tight hole she could feel the beginnings of Yvonne's orgasm through subtle changes in the tensions throughout her body. When it finally hit she hung on tightly to her creamy ass cheeks and buried her face in her sopping tender pussy as Yvonne bucked and heaved her way through her electrifying come. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God..." was all Yvonne could repeat in the aftermath of her spectacular climax. Barbara looked up at her from between her legs and smiled. "So you liked that, did you?" she asked coyly. "Like I guess so!" Yvonne laughed as Barbara sat down beside her and held her tightly, laughing gently along with her. Then Yvonne froze. "Uh, those words..." "You mean like fuck and cunt? Those words? Hey, I love how you talked dirty to me, sweetheart" Barbara giggled. "It's a big turn on for me so please don't worry. It's something I really enjoy when making love, especially with you." "You are just so cool Barbara. Everything sexy we do seems to be okay with you" "Just to let you know, here's the rule I play by sweetie: You can request anything and you can refuse anything without judgment or shame, and with no questions asked either way. As long as that applies sex can be a great adventure for both of us, don't you think?" Barbara asked. "Yeah, it's just that I don't know a lot about it yet. I'm afraid I might bore you or something." "Honey, you will never bore me in bed or out, believe me. I just hope I can keep up to you. You're in the prime of your life and puberty's just hit so you're going to be horny all the time and I'm going to be too pooped to play. That's what you have to worry about!" Barbara laughed. "Well, let's just hope not too much. But you will tell me, won't you, if I'm boring or anything?" "Okay, I promise but I just don't see that happening, sweetheart so please relax," Barbara pleaded. "Alright," Yvonne agreed then quickly changed the subject. "I love how you kissed me, you know, on my pussy like that. I mean, did you like it?" "I've wanted to do that to you for three days now, sweetie," If she only knew! "Yes I liked it." "So I can try that on you, too? I mean I'd like to. I love giving you pleasure so much. It's like a major turn on for me to make you come," Yvonne smiled up at Barbara. "Oh boy, I'll look forward to that! And it works both ways," Barbara said. "I love making you all excited and getting you off too. That's what sex is supposed to be about, giving pleasure to each other out of pure love. Anything else is just mutual masturbation. Two bodies rubbing against each other to get themselves off," laughed Barbara. "Hey, I like masturbating now," complained Yvonne. "And so do I. For me it's making love to myself because now I love myself. I'm not using anybody else for my own pleasure." "And it really got me hot watching you masturbate. I wanted to play with myself too, almost, except I couldn't stop watching. That was just so horny," Yvonne said with an edge of excitement in her voice. "Oh, baby, there is so much we can do together," Barbara said in a deep sultry voice that immediately started Yvonne's juices flowing in anticipation. "So very much." Chapter 4 That night, the night of Yvonne's 're-birthday' as they ended up calling it, was filled with as much passion as Barbara and she could put into it. Sometimes Barbara thought she might be going too far but young Yvonne kept up with every motion, notion and sensuous massage lotion Barbara had. They had not exhausted the possibilities by any means, however. But Yvonne did discover how much she liked eating Barbara's pussy. She loved everything about it, her smell, her taste and the different textures against her tongue as she explored every nook and cranny of Barbara's cunt. Finally spent and exhausted they both dozed off into a deep, dreamless sleep on that special night happily cuddled in each other's arms. Neither of them moved very much during the night and they lay in almost the same position they had started with, face to face with their arms draped casually over each other as the morning sun broke through the drapery. Barbara awoke instantly at the same time she always did and couldn't take her eyes off of twelve year old Yvonne cuddled so sweetly next to her. She eased herself away from her ever so slowly so as not to waken her and headed for the shower. She was surprised she could still walk after the tumultuous sex they had had together last night. I have never been so thoroughly laid in my whole life, she decided gleefully. Standing under the steaming shower Barbara couldn't believe how happy she was. As the hot water streamed down her body, washing away all the traces of their recent love making, she almost had to pinch herself to believe this was all real. I am so in love with this girl, please God don't let me mess it up she begged shamelessly. Just as she finished her quietly desperate prayer Yvonne wandered naked into the shower and without a word simply walked over with eyes closed and half asleep, wrapped her arms around Barbara and lay her head on her chest, seemingly oblivious to the hot spray falling on her. "Good morning sweetheart. Is this your way of telling me you're not exactly a morning person?" Yvonne mumbled an inaudible reply into Barbara's chest before raising her head and smiling up at her all slick and wet from the shower. "Any morning that has you in it is a good enough morning for me. I need to get myself back on human time, not street time is all. I love mornings, but not as much as I love you right now. Nobody loves anybody like I love you right now," Yvonne mumbled quietly and snuggled closer. "That is so precious sweetheart, and I love you just as much and maybe more," Barbara said earnestly. After this exchange they leisurely finished their wash and shampooing, then explored each other's bodies some more while drying off. Donning their silken robes they padded out to the kitchen and began their now daily ritual of drying each other's hair, Yvonne's first then Barbara's. After a breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausages and toast they both as if on cue began to load the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen. Having cleaned up after her mother for so many years Yvonne was surprised at how much she enjoyed doing it with Barbara. Love seems to transform everything, even chores she thought giddily. "Okay honey, there are a couple of things we need to talk about," Barbara said as they both settled in to the living room couch. "First is about school. You say you like school, that you're a good student?" she asked. "Would any of your teachers be able to give you a good recommendation?" "Yeah, I think all of them," Yvonne gathered her thoughts. "I really liked most of my teachers and my marks were always good, well almost always. Sometimes when we were moving I'd miss assignments and homework but I always tried to catch up. Why are you asking?" Yvonne was curious. "Because I'm going to try to get you in to St. Margaret's Academy," Barbara told her. "They have a tradition of sponsoring girls from poorer backgrounds and they're maybe the top school in the city besides." "St. Margaret's? Really? I'd love to go there! Do you think they'd take me?" Yvonne asked excitedly. "We're going to find out, sweetheart. I have a friend on their board, a judge I've known for years. I'm going to call her up and see what she says," Barbara replied. "Let's start by making me a list of your schools and some of the teachers there the Academy can contact. You won't need the scholarship because I'm willing to pay your tuition but we'll see what happens. Hey, it might be public school for a year before you get in," she cautioned. "But the middle school for this neighborhood is pretty good I'm told." "Either way I'm happy!" Yvonne declared. "The next thing is I'm going to need to adopt you legally, honey, if I'm to have any say to the outside world on your behalf. You can even take my name if you like but you certainly don't have to. That might mean you'll have to tell a few people, and maybe in court, some of the things you told me the other night, like the rape. Do you think you could handle that, darling?" "Gosh, your name? Are you kidding? What an honor that would be. It would be almost like being married," Yvonne giggled. She paused and thought for a moment then a look of resolution came over her face. "Yes and I can tell what happened to me too, but will I have to, do you think?" "I'm going to retain a colleague who specializes in adoption and family law. He's a very dedicated person and when he hears your story I don't think your mother will stand a chance if she tries to oppose anything. He'll probably get her to give you to me voluntarily without a hearing, so my guess is no, you won't have to give evidence baby," Barbara attempted to assure her. "And I can probably get temporary guardianship in time to enroll you in St. Margaret's this year if you can get in. Bill my lawyer friend is a whiz at these things, the best there is and for you darling it's always going to be the best," she promised. "That's good because I couldn't bear even seeing my mother again after that night, let alone having to live with her again. I'd rather die," Yvonne said with quiet sincerity. "But aren't you a lawyer?" "I haven't done family law in decades hon, and no good lawyer ever tries to represent herself, especially in a case as important as this is to us. Bill is the best. I told you honey, nobody's ever going to hurt you like that ever again, I promised. And nothing will stop me from fulfilling that promise, and I mean nothing," Yvonne could feel Barbara's intensity and sincerity as she spoke the words, felt them so deeply she believed them, so deeply she finally gave in and trusted in someone else completely and without reservation. She had never felt so safe in her whole young life, or so relieved. "I believe you," Yvonne said with quiet conviction. "I really believe you." After the serious part of the discussion ended and Yvonne had managed to get her schools and teachers straight in her mind and on paper both went off to dress for the day, something Yvonne was eager to do. Barbara noticed, in looking at Yvonne's list, that she had very graceful handwriting, which somehow seemed appropriate to her obvious femininity. How she'd ever ended up being the child she was, coming as she did from a cracked out heroin addict and the whole life style that involved, seemed like a miracle to Barbara. It must come from her father's genes she concluded, a lucky trick her mother must have scored one night, or she was just blessed, very special, or all three. Opting for a pair of light grey form hugging wool slacks and a snow white short sleeved cotton blouse, Yvonne added a pair of white socks and a pair of black leather low heeled shoes to her ensemble and sat patiently as Barbara applied some light make-up, finishing with some pale pink lipstick that made her young face glow. The new clothes seemed to fit like gloves and felt so comfortable on her, something she realized that came with hefty price tags, the intangible smooth feeling of quality. A gray and black belt, a silver necklace, silver bracelet, her new expensive gold and platinum watch, and a small black leather purse were the gilding accoutrements to her attire. "My God," said Barbara when they both met up again in the living room. "Every time you put on something new it's like discovering your beauty all over again." "Hey, and you're not too shabby yourself, lady," Yvonne giggled taking in Barbara's more autumn look, a gold patterned silk blouse, dark brown tailored slacks, a delicate solid gold necklace and expensive looking dark brown leather loafers with a purse to match. "In fact you always look scrumptious. I want to learn how to dress just like you," Yvonne asserted. "Now there's a compliment if ever I heard one, thank you sweetheart." Going outside for a walk in the late August sunshine Barbara began sharing some of her own story with Yvonne, about her mother's alcoholism, her absent father and her struggle to make it through school and in the legal field. She pulled no punches in describing how selfish she'd often been, even ruthless in her drive for success and how empty and lonely that had left her. "If you hadn't come along baby, I'm not sure what I would have done. So if you think this is all about me rescuing you it isn't at all. You've saved my life every bit as much as I may have saved yours. In fact I think of you as my little angel. I love you honey, your strength, your intelligence, your honesty, your bravery and your caring tenderness. Not to mention how gorgeous you are of course," Barbara laughed. "Or how good in bed," she grinned wickedly. "Good in bed? Wow. I didn't think I'd got that far yet," giggled Yvonne. "Honey, nobody, but nobody has ever made me come like you do." "For real?" "For real. Scout's honor." "So I'm good in bed. Who knew?" Yvonne stared off in wonderment as Barbara burst out laughing, sending a flock of pigeons skyward in angry haste. They continued hand in hand along the seawall for at least an hour before turning round and heading back, often content to walk in silence simply enjoying one another's company. When they got to Barbara's penthouse Yvonne went to play on the computer while Barbara made some phone calls. Her first call was to her old friend and St. Margaret's board member Judge Ellen. She gave her all of Yvonne's particulars, names of schools she'd attended and names of teachers from the list she'd written, a bit of her background and explained along the way some of how they'd connected with each other. Ellen couldn't promise anything of course but she'd see what she could do. Next she called family lawyer Bill Lewis and set up an appointment for the next day. Bill was eager to help after hearing the story. "This shouldn't be any problem Barbara" Bill said. "I can track down her mother fairly fast and have the matter settled quickly I'm sure," he said confidently. "You're really going to do this, eh? Take on a young teenage girl and parent her through to adulthood? Somehow this doesn't sound like the old Barbara I knew," Bill quipped. Barbara laughed. "Well it isn't the old Barbara you knew. I've turned over a new leaf if you'd like to know. There is something about this girl that's transforming my whole life, Bill, and this decision to adopt her feels just absolutely right," she explained. "And thank you for your help. You're the best." "No worries, Barb. Just wait till you get my bill," he laughed before hanging up. Walking in to the den where Yvonne was working away at the computer she told her about the phone calls she'd made and the appointment with Bill Lewis the next day. Yvonne looked up at her from the computer station with a look of gratitude on her face. "It's really gonna happen, isn't it?" she asked. "You and I are going to be together always, almost like being married. And my old life is only just a bad, bad dream now, huh?" "That's right sweetheart. No more nightmares. It's me and you all the way kid. Think you can handle that?" "I think I'll manage somehow." "Good girl. Now let's go get lunch. You want more fish, hamburgers, or pizza?" Together they drove into town, ate at the one remaining and original drive-in left in the city then headed over to the planetarium for the afternoon show and took a guided tour through the Maritime Museum. Just for fun Barbara stopped along the way and bought Yvonne her own telephone for her room, telling her she was having an extra line installed so either could use the phone whenever they liked. Next, they hit the computer store and Yvonne gasped at the brilliantly colored LCD screen Barbara bought her, along with a fully loaded Pentium IV, a game controller, top quality Altec speakers, a scanner, and a color laser copier for her homework assignments. Added on were a few games Yvonne selected, and a 'learn to type' program she wanted, which impressed Barbara. Leaving the computer to be set up and delivered the next day they headed home for supper and, Yvonne avidly hoped, some more turgid romance. She wasn't to be disappointed. After cooking and eating a light dinner, Barbara suggested they slip into just their robes and sit together watching the incredible sunset the sky was producing for them that particular night. Snuggling close, they could each feel the heat begin to rise inside themselves as the late summer night sky eventually did its final curtain call and the penthouse became awash in inky dark shadows. Reaching behind her Barbara turned on a small end lamp which bathed them both in a warm yellow glow and, with the huge picture window before them, made them feel as if they were floating in space above the world in their own protective little bubble of light. Barbara leaned in and kissed Yvonne passionately then pulled back. "This is what I want us to do," she instructed. "Take off your robe and lay back against it so I can see you, all of you, and I'll do the same at this end," They were both now naked and facing each other on the sofa, Yvonne's eyes wide in anticipation as she gazed at Barbara's luscious form. "Now the rule is this. We can't touch each other, only ourselves. So I'm going to get you off by talking to you baby, and your going to masturbate for me," Barbara smiled. "And I might just play with myself a little too, what do you think?" Barbara grinned wickedly. "Oooo I wondered when I'd get to do that," "Okay, baby here's some massage oil we can both use here on the coffee table. I'm going to take some now and rub it all over me, down my arms," she demonstrated. "On my tummy and up over my big tits, baby," she cooed seductively. "Watch me rub that oil into my hard nipples for you and all over my big tits," she hissed as her caresses started her own juices flowing. "See baby, my tits are so big I can suck my own nipples," she said licking and sucking on each in turn. Yvonne's mouth was agape at the show Barbara was putting on for her. Her own pussy was wet with desire as she reached out and spread some of the oil over her own small titties, paying extra attention to her fast swelling little nipples. Then she went down between her legs and gently touched her tight slit, almost lazily drawing her finger up and down her tight pussy lips and feeling her own sweet moisture slick against her skin. "I love watching you rub yourself, sweetheart," Barbara told her. "It gets me so hot. I'm going to play with my clit for you now baby, going to rub my hard clit and play with myself for you. Do you know how much I like eating your hot cunt, honey? Feeling my tongue inside your hole fucking you with it, feel you squirm as I suck on your little clit and finger fuck you? Yessss baby!" Barbara moaned as she watched Yvonne insert a finger into her own cunt and begin to fuck herself slowly, then she looked up at her eyes, glued raptly to Barbara's own hand hard at work between her own legs. Barbara rapidly stroked herself and felt an orgasm building but backed off, making it last. "Yes, Barb, I love you watching me, watching me play with my cunt, fingering it for you, rubbing my nipples and fucking myself," Yvonne gasped in a small but passionate voice. The words burned in Barbara's heated mind like hot coals. "And I love how your pussy tastes and how my tongue feels when it fucks your cunt hole. Ooooh God, I'm close to coming for you Barb, so close," she wailed. To Barbara these nasty words out of such a delicate young mouth were like magical sexual incantations, pumping up her ecstasy to near earthquake proportions. Still she prolonged the blissful agony. "Okay baby, I want to watch you make yourself come for me now. Fuck your tight little cunt real hard and rub your clitty too, baby doll. I need to see you come so bad honey!" Yvonne was quick to oblige. Her fingers were a blur over her small clit while another pair poked rapidly in and out of her small tight cunt. Soon wave after wave of hot electric pleasure began washing through her slim young body as her fingers continued to work away at herself furiously and her orgasm peaked. Yvonne trembled with its power and shook strongly as her rhythmic erotic contractions eased and died slowly away. Her eyes remained closed and a look of pure bliss fell over her features as her hands remained still between her legs and her head came to rest on the plush wide arm of the sofa. Barbara was astonished by the power of this orgasm and felt privileged to have helped give it to her, as if Yvonne were a young goddess and she the supplicant. As Yvonne lay back spent, her shimmering blue robe spread out around her, Barbara swears she saw her actually glowing, as if all her pure angelic virtues and qualities were somehow made manifest in these last few climactic moments. A shiver went threw her like ice water as she watched this manifestation then she felt tears boiling up at the awesome joy of this moment. Slowly Yvonne opened her eyes to the sight of Barbara, open mouthed with streams of hot tears running down her face, looking for all the world like the Madonna in the Pieta. "What's wrong, Barbara?" Yvonne asked urgently, coming over to embrace her. "Nothing baby, nothing at all," Barbara sobbed. "You looked so - so beautiful, I guess," she said, unable to come up with a word that wouldn't sound too corny or stupid. "I couldn't stop myself from crying. I'm so sorry if I've upset you honey," she apologized through her tears and sniffles. "Oh dear," said Yvonne pragmatically, wrapping her arms around Barbara. "I guess I'll just have to get used to all this praise and adoration," she smiled sweetly at Barbara and kissed her gently on the lips. Barbara laughed and pushed her over falling down gently on top of her. "I guess you just will, little lady," she said into her face. "Because sometimes I'm going to act like an old fool around you and maybe lose it from time to time. That happens when you're old, brain addled, and in love, just so you know," Barbara said with a small sniffle and a grin. "You're not old and brain addled at all. You're just in the presence of such overwhelming beauty and grace you can't control yourself. I understand. Happens to people around me all the time," Yvonne said lightly, then giggled fiercely. "You little smart ass!" Barbara growled and began to tickle her. "Stop! Stop!" Yvonne screamed as Barbara bore down to the attack. Eventually they ended up in a big embrace, kissing their faces off and feeling the heat rise between them yet again. "What you did was so hot Barbara," Yvonne finally gasped out. "I mean making me come like that. Hearing you and watching you was the sexiest thing I ever seen," she said sincerely if ungrammatically. "And I so loved masturbating for you, knowing it was getting you off. And talking dirty and watching you play with your tits and your pussy, and hearing all those things you like doing to me, like eating me out," she purred. "And how my cunt tastes and how you like to suck my tits," she murmured running her hands up and down her small chest. "I'd like to see you come for me right now big girl. Play with your juicy cunt for me, right now," Yvonne cooed, feeling a warm surge of sexual power run through her she'd never experienced before. Barbara's steam was rising as Yvonne talked to her. "Okay babe, I want you to help me come then. I love how you talk to me. Please don't stop. I'm going to masturbate for you sweetheart and give you a great big come all your own." Yvonne sat up and straddled Barbara's knees watching her fingers get busy on her soaking wet pussy. "Okay girlfriend, my hot lover, play with your tits for me first," Yvonne directed, removing Barbara's hand from her pussy. "Suck your nipples. That's it, now little bites. There you go girlfriend, lick and suck your big tits for me," Yvonne ordered, deeply aroused by the sense of power she felt at the moment and the sight of Barbara obediently bathing her own tits with hot wet kisses and licks. Barbara was amazed at how turned on she was as Yvonne took charge. She'd never been the submissive one before, ever. Where on Earth did the little minx learn this? Wherever, it felt exquisitely good and she let the young girl proudly direct the action, looking so sexy astride her knees naked, her long blonde hair being tossed carelessly off her face every few moments, her bright pink nipples erect on her chest and her labial lips spread open slightly. "Okay, now play with yourself. Rub your hard little clitty while I watch you. Stick some fingers in your tight cunt too," she ordered. "That's it, I want to watch you finger fucking your hot hole big girl, fingering yourself for me, getting yourself off. Oh, do it baby, do it hard and fast. I like to watch that so much!" Yvonne cried. Barbara was in a frenzy of lust and worked away at herself furiously as Yvonne had directed. Then she saw Yvonne move off her body and come around behind her. The next thing she knew Yvonne was down on all fours with her pussy inches from Barbara's face, her own face perched over Barbara's steaming wet cunt. "I'm going to sit on your face while I watch you fucking yourself so lick me good. Lick my hot pussy for me," Yvonne directed and Barbara complied as she descended over her waiting, eager mouth, delighting in the taste of Yvonne's young cunt as she continued to masturbate rapidly for her young mistress's viewing pleasure. All good things must come to an end and the end for these two insatiable lovers was a body wracking, mind curdling mutual orgasm that had both of them shaking in palsied satisfaction, lying clutched in each other's sweaty embrace heaving for breath. "Oh Barbara, Barbara I love you so much!" Yvonne kept muttering. "Please, was that okay, what we did? What I did?" she asked distraught, afraid she'd crossed over some line she shouldn't have. "God yes, baby! I've never had an experience like that in my life! It was incredible, honey. You are incredible," Barbara reassured her. "Making love with you is the most sexually exciting and satisfying thing I've ever done, sweetheart. Remember, anything goes as long as we both agree and you didn't see me wanting to stop did you?" Barbara laughed. "I think I'll let you take charge more often. Just don't let it go to your head," she chuckled. "I sure had fun," Yvonne acknowledged with a big laugh. "But don't worry. Outside the bedroom you're still the alpha mommy," she giggled. "And don't you forget it, little girl," Barbara smiled back. After a light snack both were exhausted and fell into Barbara's heavenly soft bed together and drifted off to deep but gentle slumbers filled with warm pleasant dreams. In the morning it was Yvonne waking Barbara this time and guiding her into a wonderful sixty-nine, something she'd been dying to try. As Yvonne began licking Barbara's pussy, feeling how squishy it got she smeared around her own quim on Barbara's hard working tongue and mouth. After a gentle orgasm each cuddled up with the other then shortly headed for the shower. Being good, they finished quickly and went through their hair drying ritual. Later that day they went into Bill Lewis's high rise office which impressed Yvonne only slightly less than Bill Lewis himself. An old hand at speaking with children in difficult custody and adoption cases she was charmed by him and gave all the details of her life and what had eventually happened to her far more easily than she'd ever imagined she could. Lewis was deeply moved. After asking Barbara a few questions and getting some information about her mother and her boyfriend from Yvonne, he accepted Barbara's retainer and shook hands with them both, again impressing the socks off young Yvonne, and then they left. "Wow, so he's like my lawyer too, kind of?" Yvonne asked as they got into the car. "Yes, sort of. Why honey?" "Because I think he's just so cool, the way he talked to me and all. I'm sure glad he's on our side," Yvonne chirped. "I'll make sure I tell Bill what you said," Barbara laughed as they drove off. Barbara and Yvonne's time together was always exciting but they planned the next few days for maximum fun before school started and a more structured routine began dictating events for them. A day at the big Exhibition with rides and cotton candy, movies, museums, a trip into the nearby mountains and of course sex. And wickedly, in the mountains too but both were a little shy to try it in the movie theatre and settled for Yvonne stealing a few kisses and feeling up Barbara's big tits. They drove home fast that night. The days sped by until, almost at the last minute, Judge Ellen phoned to say that a place had opened up and that Yvonne had been admitted to St. Margaret's Academy pending conformation of Barbara's legal guardianship, which came the following day in a call from Bill Lewis. "Her mother signed the papers willingly, especially after my private investigator told her that the rape and her part in it would certainly, without fail, come out in any hearing she attended and what charges might follow." Lewis also explained that his detective had enlisted the help of two former colleagues in the police department, who liked child rapists about as much as bubonic plague. They'd found the mother within hours. Then the boyfriend had a visit from the two big mean looking cops who told him the city was in no way big enough for all three of them. Boyfriend promptly agreed and he and Yvonne's mother fled town, going as far east by Greyhound as their money would take them. Barbara was ecstatic. "I knew I could count on you Bill. And Yvonne thinks you're marvelous too, by the way." "Well, she's pretty special too. I can see why you've taken her in. Give her my love. And like I said, wait'll you see my bill," he laughed. "I'm taking off all but my expenses. My investigator is even halving his bill by way of a contribution. We enjoyed this case too much," he laughed again. "Second thing is the formal adoption, which will take place in a couple of months. You'll get the papers, but as you know it will just be a formality and all Yvonne will have to do is acknowledge her agreement in court." He paused. "What a life that kid had! The city cops told me some of the mother's and boyfriend's backgrounds. She hadn't even bothered to file a missing person's report, which is not surprising actually, given the rape. They were happy to apply a little muscle to that scumbag and really pleased to see you take over." Well, I can't thank you enough Bill, and St. Margaret's is taking her on full scholarship next week. Can you believe that? Somebody upstairs must be looking out for her, I swear. Guess I'll be making a big donation instead of tuition," she laughed excitedly. After she hung up the phone she called Yvonne from the den who was instantly overcome with joy at the good news. She had trusted another important adult in her life and he had come shining through. They promptly went out to celebrate that night with dinner, candles, and a romantic necking session back by their old bench. Seated in the car together Yvonne exclaimed excitedly "I can't believe this has all happened to me, and so fast. I live in a big penthouse, go to St. Margaret's Academy, and get to neck with my girlfriend in the park in the front seat of a big Lexus! Then I go home and get to sleep with her, have great sex, get my own room, and a new name that's the same as hers. It's just too bodacious dudette!" "And I get all the same stuff but I don't have to go to school any more, so who's the luckier one?" Barbara laughed. "But I like school so I guess we both got it pretty good." Yvonne decided. It was then that she explained the concept of street angels to Barbara. "So you see, you're my angel too. Isn't that neat? And I love this angel just so, so much," she said embracing and kissing Barbara. "Oh my darling that is so sweet. I love you so much it hurts, baby. I'll always be your street angel darling, and your penthouse angel too, you know that," Barbara said, kissing her back then she stopped and thought. "And you've taught me a great lesson through all this." "I have, what's that?" Yvonne asked puzzled. "That all this 'stuff' I have, like the money, the car, and the penthouse..." Barbara paused. "I can't hold on to any of it until I'm willing to let it all go and share it with the people I love, and that means especially you Yvonne. I'll always be your angel honey and I'll always love you." Hey, that's what that Scrooge guy did too, she thought with a laugh. "And all you've ever told me is the truth so I know you will, and you don't know how much that's meant to me, so me too," Yvonne murmured with quiet intensity and hugged her close. "Me too, I promise." THE END If you liked my story please write.
