Love is a Place Ch. 01: The Puzzle

... Christmas lights. Sarah no longer held her hand, but Samantha didn't mind: she was still floating on the feeling of comfort and contentment she had swum in all evening. It was, she realised, the gentle culmination of many weeks of slowly building emotions. For many years Samantha had thought that she never wanted to be touched by another, let alone have sex. Sex Education classes had been quite traumatic for her at school. But now she was realising that there was nothing she wanted more than to be touched by Sarah, held by Sarah, kissed by Sarah and more. Much more.

"Sarah, I really enjoyed tonight."

"Great! I'm pleased. I enjoyed it too."

"Do you want to know why?"

"Why?"

"Because I was with you."

"Oh Samantha, that's so sweet. I enjoyed being with you too. Love you beautiful."

"I love you too."

They had said such things to each other before, but now it seemed to Samantha that she understood these sweet toffee-tasting words, not just differently, but fully. Her chest felt like it would burst.

They climbed the two flights to their flat, the feeling in her chest almost lifting her up effortlessly. Sarah unlocked the door and led them in.

"Do you want to use the bathroom first, Samantha?"

"Oh. Okay. Yes, that would be a good idea." ...

... Samantha thought that this way she could make sure her breath smelled okay. "Um, can you help me take off the make up?"

"Sure!" Sarah smiled.

She giggled through the process, a new one for Samantha, before she brushed her teeth. Then she left Sarah in the bathroom.

Back in their room, she changed into her pyjamas and sat, full of anticipation and glow, in the middle of the bed for Sarah to return. Her body seemed to her to be buzzing.

When Sarah returned, Samantha waited for her to finish hanging up her clothes and turn to face her. Then she smiled her biggest smile at her friend and asked: "Sarah, do you want to have sex with me?"

Samantha wasn't prepared for the look on Sarah's face. She definitely wasn't prepared for the words that came out of Sarah's mouth: "Samantha, no, I don't. Oh God! Did I make you think that..."

Samantha's ribs, sternum, heart, lungs, diaphragm, trachea, bronchae folded and folded and folded, four, six, eight, ten, seventeen, ninety times and beyond as she crashed and crashed and crashed.

Sarah's voice was saying something, but the taste of emptiness and barking dogs and Primary school flooded her inner ear and Samantha could make no sense of the words.
