How It Began

... had on little makeup, as I don't usually wear it.

"You are going to make lots of friends tonight," she remarked with a grin. "Let's go!"

We made it downtown to the bar and met up with LeeAnne's friends. There were 5 or 6 of them, a mix of guys and girls. All friendly and happy to have someone new in their group. They asked me how I was liking school so far, where I was from, what was my major. All the important stuff. One of the guys, Thomas, went to the bar and ordered a round of drinks. They were all 21 or 22 and it was easy for them to get drinks for the group.

"Here you go, Layla," he said as he handed me my drink.

"Thank you," I replied gratefully. I hadn't had much experience with alcohol and knew I would need to go slow.

Thomas was nice looking and friendly. We made small talk for a bit as the rest of the group chatted and got caught up on their summers. He was from Kentucky and majoring in music too, though he was a composer, not performer. He was flirting a bit but nothing overt, and I was flirting back in a similar fashion. We were having fun but what happened next, I was not prepared for.

"So, are you of the same persuasion as LeeAnne?"

Huh? I thought stupidly to myself before LeeAnne, herself, stepped in.

"Oh my god, Thomas! Leave Layla alone. You've known her all of 20 minutes and you're already asking her that???" she chastised him.

"Not to be stupid, but I'm completely confused," I admitted to the group.

"Oh sweetie, ...

... all he was asking is are you straight or gay because I'm a lesbian. Thomas wants to know if he has any shot with you," she responded laughing.

Fuck. Seriously, she's a lesbian, my thoughts whirled through my head trying to process this information. Then panic set in when I realized I didn't know exactly how to respond. Boldly, I decided if I ever wanted to figure out my own sexuality, it would require admitting my curiosity, not only to myself but to others.

"Oh." I hesitated to go on. "Well, I've not really had a ton of experience and mostly with guys, but this summer, I was with another girl and loved it. So, maybe bi?"

"Hot damn, so we all have a shot!" Thomas cried with glee.

My face flushed quite red at his comment, and LeeAnne saw that I was embarrassed.

"Alright, leave the poor girl alone. Let her get into classes before you start begging her for a date," she told Thomas.

The next hour or so we all talked and drank, though I more slowly than the rest of the group. Eventually, we all started dancing once the live music started. We all were in a group on the floor and had other patrons joining us. I attracted a lot of attention from outside the group with multiple guys approaching me to dance or offers to buy me drinks, all of which I declined. I couldn't get my mind off LeeAnne. Slowly, we worked our way together on the dance floor and were dancing by ourselves.

"You doing ok?" she asked.

"Yup, this is awesome! I love dancing so this is perfect. ...
