Santa Monica Seduction, Part 4 – Conversation & Alimentation

by Alice Gee

Preamble:

*****

When Joanie had pulled up outside Amy’s house she was still not completely sure that the young girl had not changed her mind. True, the teenager had not called back to cancel but she knew that this was a big step for one so young and even up to the last minute the girl may be having serious misgivings about going out tonight.

She looked hopefully at the front door, willing the teenager to walk out of the house. Then, Joanie’s heart gave a little leap when she saw the front door open and Amy appeared and made her way down to the car. The girl looked absolutely gorgeous. She had on a black dress that was stylish as well as being very sexy. Her hair looked as though she had just come from a salon; the hair was styled in such a way that it complimented the young girl’s beautiful face.

‘I have struck paydirt here,’ Joanie thought to herself, ‘this young girl is one of the most beautiful I have ever known.’ Then she corrected herself, ‘It was a young girl I met at the mall, this is a young woman coming towards me.’

As the girl approached the car Joanie leaned across, opened the passenger door, and said, “Hello Amy darling, I am so happy to see you.”

“Hi Joanie, It’s good to see you as well. Could you pop the trunk so that I can put my bag in the back?”

Joanie leaned over and said, “Just pass it to me and I’ll put it on the rear seat for now. We’ll stow it away properly when we get to the restaurant.”

Amy passed the bag over and then waited while Joanie settled the bag. She then stepped into the car and sat in the passenger seat. Her dress rode up a few inches to reveal a tantalizing expanse of stocking clad thigh.

“You look absolutely stunning Amy and I love the dress. It looks as if it was made for you. And your hair looks so good. You need to tell me the name of your stylist.”

Amy smiled and pointed up to the window of her house where Stephanie could be seen looking out of the window. “There she is, that’s my stylist.”

“And who is that, honey.” Joanie enquired looking up to the window.

“That’s my best friend Stephanie. She fixed my hair this afternoon and she is the reason that I am able to go out tonight. She is going to cover for me if my parents phone from Vegas.”

“I will have to thank Stephanie one day for making this possible.” Joanie said still looking up at the window. “Does she know who I am?”

“Oh no! But I’ve promised that I will explain everything to her when I get home. Whatever happens.” Amy emphasized this last point.

“I see you have an overnight bag. Does this mean that I can look forward to your company after the party?” Joanie asked with eyebrows raised.

“Not yet it doesn’t, the bag is a kind of an 'in case' thing. I have never done anything like this before. And I don’t just mean sneaking out and going to a party without my parent’s knowledge. I also mean going out on a date with a member of the same sex, a professed lesbian. So, for now I am holding you to the no strings rule. Agreed?” Amy was looking earnestly at Joanie as she said this.

“Absolutely, you say the word and we’re out of the party and on our way back here. But it does give me reason to hope. Bringing a bag means you have thought about the possibility of spending the night with me. So now, it’s up to me to convince you that it is the best thing for the both of us. For you as well as me.” Joanie said trying to sound as convincing as possible.

“OK, I’ll admit I have given it some thought but I have never been with a woman before and I’m not sure that I even want to. It sounds a bit weird to me. So at the moment I am keeping my options open.”

“Tonight is all about you darling, I would not want you to do anything that you are uncomfortable with.” Joanie said and then smiled indulgently at Amy as she backed the car out of the driveway. “Do you have any objections to Thai food?” Joanie added as she started the car forward and proceeded down the street.

“I don’t believe I have ever eaten Thai. So I will have no idea what to order.” Amy said.

“You leave the ordering to me. Thai food is sometimes very spicy but I shall make sure that we will have mild versions as it is your first time and we are both going on to a party afterwards. Anyway, this is Thai food American style. If you want real Thai food, you have to go to Thailand. Every cuisine adapts its food for the local palate. Though this place has really nice food and is close to the original. I think you will enjoy it.” Joanie said while pointing the car in the direction of Santa Monica.

“OK, you are in charge. I guess that you are my date tonight so I’ll let you make the decisions,” Amy said with a grin.

Joanie reached across and patted Amy’s thigh, then gave it a gentle squeeze and said, “That’s right, you just relax and enjoy the evening. I am going to try my best to give you an evening to remember. After all I’m out to make a good impression.”

Amy made no reply to this but looked out of the car window. She noted that they were heading in the direction of Santa Monica. As the car sped along Amy thought about how nice it felt when Joanie had put her hand on her thigh. She could not understand why it was that every time this woman touched her it set off pleasurable tingles in her pussy. Amy was sure that her pussy was already wet, and the evening had hardly started. ‘Whatever it is she has, she has it in spades. I’ve never known anyone who has been able to arouse me as easily as this woman,’ Amy thought to herself.

*****

Joanie guided the car towards Montana Avenue and then pulled into a car park. The sign at the entrance announced that it was for the patrons of The Chao Phrya Restaurant. Joanie parked the car and got out; she came around, opened the passenger door, and helped Amy down from the car.

‘This kind of attention is rather nice,’ thought Amy.

Joanie then retrieved Amy’s bag from the rear seat and placed it in the trunk.

Then linking her arm with Amy’s she escorted her young date over to the front door of the restaurant. Just before they arrived at the front door, it was opened by a young, pretty oriental looking girl who placed her hands together and gave a little bow to the two females. “Sawasdee, Ka,” the oriental girl said. At least that was what it sounded like to Amy. The girl was dressed in what Amy took to be traditional Thai dress. It consisted of a long straight skirt which was kind of mustard color with some designs woven in to it and a matching long sleeved short jacket. “Please allow me to take your jackets,” The pretty Thai girl said.

Joanie removed her pinstripe jacket and then turned to help Amy out her bolero. She smiled appreciatively when she saw Amy’s bare shoulders. “You look absolutely stunning, that dress looks so lovely on you. Every woman that sees us together tonight is going to be oh so jealous of me.” Joanie smiled down at the young teenager.

Amy smiled back at the older woman and said, “Thank you, I’m so glad that you like it, it is the first time I’ve had an opportunity to wear it.”

The young waitress then said, “Please may I show you to your table.”

Amy took the opportunity to look around at the restaurant. The lighting was subdued. The illumination provided by recessed lights along the walls and on the ceiling. The lights themselves were not visible only their glow. The decor was not obviously oriental and the whole room looked very tastefully furnished. Couples occupied most of the tables; some of those couples were females. Joanie acknowledge a few women with a smile and a nod of her head as the waitress guided them towards a table on the right hand side of the room displaying a reserved card.

Joanie held out the chair for Amy to sit before allowing the waitress to seat her in the chair opposite.

“I will go and get you the menu’s Khun Joanie.” The oriental girl said.

“You must be a regular, she knows your name.” Amy said and gave Joanie a knowing look.

“Yes, her name is Toy, she and I are old friends.”

“Well...she is a little young to be an old friend. Is she a...?” Amy deliberately left the question hanging.

“A lesbian do you mean?” Joanie asked with a slight smile on her face.

“Yes,” Amy answered.

“Well she’s the girlfriend of a lesbian. So I’ll let you figure it out.” Joanie looked at Amy with her eyebrows raised.

“And the lesbian, is that you or a friend of yours?” Amy enquired with a smirk on her face.

“Actually it is a friend of mine. You may meet Deborah at the party later, but there again maybe not because she will wait until Toy finishes work and she may finish too late.”

“By the way, what did she say to us as we came through the door?”

“Sawasdee, it is the traditional Thai greeting. It kind of corresponds to welcome.”

“I think she said a bit more than that?”

“You have good ears. What she actually said was Sawasdee, Ka. The word Ka in itself has no meaning but it conveys politeness. Actually, it is very impolite not to say it. That is the greeting as a female would say it; if a man said it he would say Sawasdee, Krap.” Joanie added.

“You are joking, yes?"

“No honestly. The women say Ka and the men say Krap.” Joanie was struggling to suppress a smile as she spoke.

“The men say crap; well I’m not going to argue with that.” Amy laughed as she said it.

Joanie joined in the laugh and the ice had effectively been broken between them.

*****

Amy looked over the table at Joanie and asked, “Also when the girl addressed you she said some kind of greeting as well as your name.”

“She would have said Khun. It is a polite way of addressing a person. You say Khun to males and females but not children. It is a kind of polite address corresponding to Mr or Mrs or even Ms.”

“How come you know so much about Thai?”

“I once had a Thai girlfriend. She taught me a lot. And I have been to Thailand on holiday.”

“Oh, I see. Was your girlfriend Toy?” Amy asked looking speculatively at Joanie.

“No, actually it was her cousin of hers, named Lek. She has since returned to Thailand. You see I am being very honest with you. I want no misunderstandings between us.” Stephanie reached across the table and put her hand over Amy’s as she spoke.

At that moment, the waitress Toy reappeared with the menus. After passing out the menus, she asked the two females what they would like to drink.

“Two Perrier’s, please Toy.” Joanie said.

Joanie looked at Amy and said. “Actually wine does not go well with Thai food, it is usually better to drink water. You can drink beer with it but as you are still a minor it is better if we stick to water. We do not want to get anyone in trouble this early in the evening.” Normally Joanie would have had a cocktail at this point but this was all about making the young girl comfortable so she settled for water. Joanie went on, “What we will do is eat as the Thai’s would do. I will order five or six different entree dishes plus a main dish and we will share them. That way you can get a more varied idea of what Thai food is all about.”

Amy was only too pleased to go along with that idea, as she had not a clue of what to order.

The young waitress returned and there followed an exchange between Joanie and Toy which Amy did not understand. Eventually Toy departed and Joanie turned to Amy and said. “I have given Toy strict instructions, to be relayed to the cook, that none of the food is to be too spicy. For the main dish, I have ordered fish. They steam it in many different herbs and spices, it is delicious and you must try it. Although there will be a lot of food we are not obliged to finish everything. When you’ve had enough, I want you to stop eating. After all we have to do some dancing later.” Joanie said while smiling at Amy.

Amy nodded her head in understanding and then looked at Joanie’s off the shoulder top. “I have to say you look very elegant tonight and very...this word seems made for you...sophisticated. You looked so poised and so graceful. And I really like the pendent and your earrings.” Amy said while looking admiringly at Joanie.

Joanie did indeed look elegant. She had agonized on what to wear, she wanted to look feminine yet not totally disguise the fact that she was a lesbian. So she adopted a look that any woman could wear on a night out but was also slightly butch. That way she hoped to make the girl more comfortable in her presence as the night progressed. Joanie never forgot that the true prize this evening was to get the girl into her bed. And she intended to use all of her considerable powers of persuasion to achieve that end. So she had chosen a pair of black Miu Miu men’s fit pants but softened this with a white Vanessa Bruno off-the-shoulders top with a deep scoop neck that showed off her cleavage with the assistance of a push-up bra. The jacket hanging in the cloakroom was a dark gray single breasted pinstripe by Stella McCartney. She had wanted to wear her four inch Jimmy Choo’s but settled instead for a pair of low-heeled black Prada dress shoes. The night may turn out to be long and they would be better for dancing. The pendent was a one carat round cut diamond solitaire on a white gold chain, the matching earrings were one carat diamond studs. She had checked herself out in the mirror at home and decided she looked good. She hoped it was good enough for the seduction of a beautiful teenage girl

Joanie reached across to the young girl, squeezed her hand once again, and said. “Why! Thank you Amy, that is a very nice thing to say, you have quite made my evening. So far that is.” Joanie smiled at Amy hoping she would pick up on the suggestion.

Amy understood the meaning of Joanie’s words completely and said, “Well, we will just have to see what the rest of the night will bring.”

Joanie squeezed Amy’s hand once more and said. “We will do whatever you want to do, tonight is all about you. I want to be your guide into the world that I know but I will not take you anywhere you do not want to go.”

Amy felt her eyes moisten while she softly said. “Thank you.”

The two contrasting females continued their small talk until the food started to arrive.

When Toy returned with the dishes of food. She placed them on the table along with the accompanying sauce dish. She then turned to the two diners, put her hands together, gave a little bow and said, “Please enjoy your meal.”

Amy looked at the bewildering array of food and sauces and said, “Please Joanie may I follow your lead. I am quite unsure of how to proceed. I have no idea what goes with what, or which dish should be started first.”

“There is no need to worry; you can just start on whatever you like. The sauce for each item is along side that dish. You can try them and if you like them, enjoy. If you do not like the sauce, try another one. Though if you are still unsure then by all means follow my lead.”

So they started on the food with Amy sampling and commenting on each dish. When they were only half way through the entrees, Toy arrived carrying a dish containing a large steamed fish.

Amy took one look at the fish and said aloud, “Goodness Joanie, we cannot possibly eat all that, we are only part way through the entrees.”

We are not going to eat it all; I just wanted you to try this dish. As I said before we will only eat as much as we need. There is no point in stuffing ourselves. However, I really wanted you to try this dish because I think that the Thais are the most accomplished cooks in the world when it comes to cooking fish. Of course, there will be many other nations that will disagree with that. So give me your plate and let me give you some of this fish.

With that, Joanie cut into the body of the fish, spooned out a large portion of the white succulent flesh, and placed it on Amy’s plate.

Amy agreed that the fish was delicious and helped herself to another portion.

Easy conversation played back and fore between the two as they partook of the delicious spread before them. Eventually Amy put down her chopsticks and said, “I’m sorry Joanie, that’s it. I don’t think I can eat any more. The food was wonderful but I think I had better stop now or else I am just going to sit in a chair for the rest of the night. I’ll be too stuffed to move.”

“Yes, I think I had better stop as well or I may miss my chance to trip the light fantastic with the most beautiful girl at the party tonight.”

Amy gave a little nod in appreciation of the compliment and then said, “There is such a lot of food not touched. It seems such a waste,” She gave a rueful glance at the uneaten food on the table and then went on, “Won’t they be offended that we left so much.”

“Not if we pay for it they won’t. They get used to it. People come in and order too much or try out new dishes and find that they are not to their taste. It happens in all restaurants, not just here.“

“It still seems very wasteful to me. I’m surprised that you ordered so much when you know how much food there was going to be. Are you always so wasteful, Joanie,” Amy asked with a small smile on her face and her eyebrows raised.

“Only when I’m trying to impress a beautiful young lady such as yourself. It does not happen very often.” Joanie said while attempting a self-depreciating look that didn’t quite come off.

“I imagine it happens a lot more than you are willing to admit,” Amy said with a knowing look.

“There you go again, flattering me. I’m sure you are up to something. Am I going to be safe with you tonight?” Joanie said, a smile lighting up her face.

“Probably a lot safer than I am going to be with you,” Amy countered.

“You are safe until you tell me you do not want to be. I made a promise remember.”

“Yes I do remember and I am still holding you to it,” Amy said no longer quite so light hearted.

“And I will but I also promise you that I will try to change your mind. So I’m giving you a fair warning. However, you can be sure of one thing. You say that you want to go home then that is where I will take you.”

“Thank you Joanie, I know you will. I can tell you that I trust you and I know that I will be safe with you,” Amy said while leaning forward with an earnest look on her face.

Joanie leaned across the table, took Amy’s hand, and gently squeezed. She felt quite emotional as she listened to her young companions words.

At that moment, Toy the waitress returned to ask if they needed anything else.

Joanie looked across at Amy who was shaking her head. She turned to Toy and said, “No desert, we are both full but I will have a green tea, what would you like Amy?”

“I would like to try a green tea as well.”

Toy left to get their orders and Joanie continued to squeeze Amy’s hand. Then looked into Amy’s eyes and said, “You really are quite lovely. I feel very privileged that you consented to come out with me tonight. I will make sure that you have a good time and will remember it for the rest of your life.”

Amy placed her other hand over Joanie’s and give a gentle squeeze back. She lifted her hand off when the waitress came back to the table with their drinks.

*****

After they had finished their drinks, Joanie called the waitress over and requested their check. When Toy returned Joanie took the opportunity to introduce Amy to Toy.

Amy was treated to a brilliant smile as the pretty girl placed her hands together and gave another bow whilst saying, “Sawasdee, Ka.”

Amy now much more at ease and familiar with the greeting responded by putting her hands together, giving a little bow of her head and said, “Sawasdee, Ka,” in return.

This delighted the Thai girl and she complimented Amy on her ability to speak Thai. She also remarked that she thought that Amy was very beautiful and hoped that she would be a regular visitor to the restaurant.

Joanie interjected that she hoped that Amy would be a regular here as well and hoped to one day introduce her to Deborah. To this, the Thai girl’s smile became even wider and she remarked that Deborah would be in later that evening. Joanie then enquired as to the whereabouts of someone called Suda. She explained to Amy that Suda was the part owner and manager of the restaurant. Toy explained that she had gone out and was not expected back for another hour. Joanie told the girl that they were going to the party and that they could not wait.

At this point the Thai girl said, “We may be going as well but it depends on what time I finish tonight. The restaurant always seems to close late on Saturdays; customers are in no hurry to leave as the have no work the next day. We will decide later, though I do hope that I can go as I would like to dance with Amy.” Thai girl looked shyly at Amy and smiled a very sweet smile.

Amy was quite unsure what this all meant because she could have sworn that Toy actually blushed when she was talking about her. Amy looked questioningly at Joanie.

Joanie smiled at her and said, “Toy simply means what she says, that she would like to dance with you.”

“Oh yes, Khun Amy. I think you are very pretty and Khun Joanie is a very lucky lady.”

With that, it was Amy’s turn to blush.

Joanie smiled reassuringly at her and then turned to Toy, “At the moment Amy and I are just good friends.”

Toy looked down at Joanie and then looked at Amy. “Please Khun Amy, Toy did not mean to embarrass you but I think if you and Khun Joanie were to become more than just good friends, Toy thinks that you would be very lucky girl as well.” With that, the Thai girl gave a little giggle and hurried away with Joanie’s credit card.

Joanie gave a little laugh, reached across to pat Amy’s hand, and said, “There you are, other people believe we would make a good couple. Don’t be embarrassed by what Toy says, she would not say anything to upset you. Like all Thais, she speaks from the heart and says what she feels.

Toy came back and Joanie signed the slip. Joanie came around to Amy’s chair to assist her and then they followed Toy to retrieve their coats. Joanie held Amy’s bolero jacket for her while she put it on. Then Toy held the pinstripe jacket to assist Joanie. The Thai girl gave them another little bow as they got to the door. She then held the door open for them to leave. As Amy made to pass through the door, Toy placed her hand delicately on her sleeve and whispered in her ear. “Khun Joanie is a very nice lady. I hope that I see you both together next time.” Then with a mischievous smile whispered, “Good luck tonight.”

Joanie linked her arm through Amy’s as they walked back to the car. She opened the car door and held it open for Amy to enter. She then went around to the driver’s side and climbed into the car; she leaned across, placed her hand on Amy’s arm, and said, “Now, my beautiful young lady, let’s go party.”

Amy’s heart beat faster as she contemplated going into the lesbian party. She had no idea what to expect and was very nervous. She looked across at Joanie as she maneuvered the car out of the parking lot. ‘I hope I am doing the right thing,’ she thought to herself.
