Story Codes: no sex

"I can't believe I just lost my virginity to a girl!" Lindsey thought as she stared at the naked girl sleeping beside of her. "God, she is so beautiful though." Lindsey giggled softly to herself and watched Allie sleeping beside of her, her chest rising and falling gently.

"Lindsey, could you please stop staring at me while I'm sleeping. It's creeping me out." Allie laughed after a few moments as she rolled over to face her and they kissed gently, beginning with a small lick to the lips and slipping in to a passionate french kiss.

"Sorry, you're just so pretty. I can't even believe I'm saying that. I've never been attracted to another girl before." Lindsey said in a rush as Allie placed her fingers over Lindsey's lips and smiled. They stared at each other for a while before Allie rose out of bed and opened the curtains. In the distance they could see the sun just beginning to rise. Lindsey walked over and stood by Allie and they watched the sunrise together.

Lindsey looked over at Allie. She wasn't sure what she was feeling. "Could it be love? And if it is does Allie feel the same way. She is the one who wanted to kiss me, wasn't she?" Lindsey's mind was reeling with a billion thoughts and questions, but what she didn't know was that Allie was feeling the same way.

"Umm...Lindsey? Do you like me? I mean, "like me" like me." Allie said nervously after a few moments of silence. She looked over and Lindsey seemed to turn at least six different shades of red.

"I was gonna ask the same question." Lindsey said, staring at the ground.

Allie just laughed." Do you think I would have done that last night if I didn't. You were so pretty when I first saw you looking at me at work. I knew then that I wanted to at least be friends with you."

"So, is this something you've done before, I mean, are you gay?" Lindsey asked.

"I wouldn't say that I'm a lesbian because I still like guys, but I have had one girlfriend before. She was in a car accident and died a year ago. I missed her more than anything. I think that's what got me into the party scene. Looking back, maybe that wasn't the best way to cope but it worked at the time." Allie said as she walked over to the window again and stared out. Her bedroom window was in the perfect spot to see Lindsey's house. She watched Lindsey's sister walk out and get in her car, apparently going to work. She wasn't paying attention as Lindsey walked up and grabbed her around the waist kissing the back of her neck gently.

"Do you think you might want to do something together today?" Lindsey asked innocently as she looked out the window as well.

"Oh, I can think of a few things we can do today." Allie said as she grabbed Lindsey's butt causing her to squeal and run to the bed for cover. Allie jumped on top of her and they spent the rest of the morning "doing something together".

--------------L8r-----------------Kip's Discount Records------------

Jamie walked into Kip's and grabbed her name tag from behind the front counter. She clocked in and turned the closed sign to open. She hated opening the store. No customers came in till after lunch anyway so why did they open at 8 o'clock? Just as Jamie was about to nod off she heard the front door open and watched a guy walk in. He was kinda cute, in a dorky way, but the thing that drew her attention was his plaid "lumberjack" hat. She couldn't help but giggle as he walked up to the counter.

"What's so funny?" He said with a smile.

"You're hat. Is their a reason it has ear flaps? You look like you're about to go chop down a tree." She said laughing.

"Well, It's cold outside and over 70% of your body heat escapes through your head." He said as if it were a dumb question.

"Listen, I know that you don't know me, but I can't let you go back out into public with that hat on." Jamie said with a smile as she beckoned him to follow her. She walked to a closet and pulled out a large box marked lost and found. "This stuff has been her since before I started working here two years ago. I'm sure this will suit you better." Jamie pulled out a gray fedora that would look stupid on most people, but she knew he could pull it off.

"Better?" He asked with a nervous smile.

"Well, you look like Frank Sinatra now. That's a definite improvement." Jamie said as she laughed.

"I'm Nick Bottom. Just moved into town and I was checking out the stores."

"Jamie Church, and I am glad to see a customer in here. I usually spend the first five hours of my work-day drawing, reading, or anything I can think of to occupy myself." She said as they both shared a laugh.

"Say, you wouldn't want to grab a bite to eat after you get off work tonight would you. Wait, what am I saying? I'm sure you have a boyfriend. I'm sorry." Nick said as he started to walk to the door. Jamie ran to the door and jumped in front of him.

"I'm single and would love to join you for dinner, Nick." Jamie said with a beautiful smile. Nick gave her his cell phone number and she agreed to call him after work. She watched as he walked out the door and down the street.

"Hmmm.....Kinda dorky, but I like him." She said as she went back to her seat behind the counter and pulled out her sketch pad. She began to draw a picture of Nick with his old hat on, that's when she realized that she still had his hat. She laughed and put it on top of her head. A few hours later her boss, Kip Russell, came into the store looking especially tired.

"You and the wife get into it again Kip?" Jamie said, knowing that it was true.

"Old Bitch! I can't go out for one innocent drink with a female friend without her chewing my head off." Kip said, pouring his usual cup of coffee and going into his morning rant. Jamie knew how Kip acted, and knew that whatever "innocent" drink he was having was about as innocent as O.J. Simpson. He had even tried to get into her pants when she first started working there. After many failed attempts at a pairing, Kip gave up and they had grown to be close business partners, and good friends.

"Kip, when are you gonna either stop fooling around on Mary, or just come clean and end the relationship? You can't keep lying to her forever." Jamie said as she gave Kip that look that he hated.

"Jamie, sometimes I think things would be easier if I hadn't married that hag anyhow. I wasn't meant to be tied down." Kip said rising and patting her on the back. It didn't matter how many times she said it, Jamie knew that he wouldn't leave his wife. He did love her, even if he couldn't see it. He probably wouldn't even cheat if she payed any attention to him, sexual or otherwise.

"I'm going to Fratelli's for lunch. Want anything?" Jamie said grabbing her purse.

"Yeah, get me a turkey club and a Cherry Coke. It's on me." Kip said, handing her his credit card. Kip always paid for lunch when Jamie went to get his favorite and a smart girl never turns down a free meal.

----------------L8r-------------Fratelli's Subs--------------------

"Morning Mr. Fratelli." Jamie said with a sweet smile.

"You milking more money out of your boss again Jamie?" Mr. Fratelli said shaking his finger disapprovingly and then laughing as she began to pout playfully. "Let me guess, Turkey Club and a Cherry Coke for Kip, and a Grilled Chicken with no mayo and a Sprite for my favorite customer."

"Maybe I do come her too often." Jamie said with a grin as he rung it up and she swiped Kip's card. He handed her the food and she went out to her car. The sun was in her eyes and she looked down into her purse for her sunglasses. As she found them and put them on she looked up to see her sister walking down the street holding hands with a very attractive girl who she recognized as her neighbor, Allie. She was about to call out their names and say hi when she caught sight of something she didn't expect. Allie pointed off in the other direction as Lindsey looked, when Lindsey turned back around Allie snuck a kiss. Jamie looked on it utter confusion as her sweet little sister grabbed Allie by the back of the head and begin to passionately french this other girl. Jamie stood there staring in shock until they parted and started walking again, giggling madly. Too confused to deal with that at the moment, Jamie got in her car and drove back to work. She was going to have a talk with her little sister later.
