| A Different Girlfriend, Chapter 5 ~A shorter bridging chapter~ Sunday just plain sucked at first. When she awoke alone in her bed, a bit chilled from falling asleep naked above the covers, Karen had felt a terrible feeling on loneliness. She had almost instinctively looked around hoping that Emma would somehow be there. It was almost crushingly disappointing to only find her there in her head as a contented sleepy ball of emotions. Eventually the chill morning air made her drag herself from her bed and get dressed. Since she didn't have anything in particular to do that day she just wore a pair of loose athletic shorts, and short sleeved t-shirt. It was her lazing around attire. For most of the morning after she ate breakfast she just sat under her warm bed covers and read her new book, a sci-fi space opera novel. It was hard for her to pay complete attention to her book due to the crawling empty feeling in her body. Donna had been right. Being apart from Emma for any extended length of time would be pure torment. Just this short one day separation was already gnawing at her because again after she woke this morning the bond had felt strengthened again. One moment of cheerfulness came at about 11am when she felt Emma wake up. She felt the girl react like she had. Karen tried sending her love to the girl and immediately felt a warm glow return to her from her petite lover. She also felt and agreed with the girl's intense dislike for being apart. For a moment they both lay there miles apart feeling the glow of the others mind, talking in silence. Eventually she felt a disruption from Emma's end and then she felt apology from the girl. Donna needed her for something. Deciding she'd moped around long enough Ksren left her room and kept herself occupied with her usual weekend chores. They weren't much since all four family members were very neat people by nature but things needed maintaining anyway. Since she spent so much time lounging in the tub she'd long ago drawn bathroom cleaning duty. Michele always joked and called her Queen of the Bathroom whenever Karen chastised her for leaving something a mess. When she was just finishing, the bathroom a shinning glorious place once again, she heard her father call up from downstairs. "Karen!" "Yeah!" she responded, tossing her rag into the cleaning bucket. "Your mother and I are going out and Michele's out with friends. You've got the place to yourself for a while. Lock up if we're not home by 8." This was a normal event. Her mother usually got most Sundays off so she and dad usually did something together when they could. "Alright," she called. "Have fun." She heard an amused laugh from below. After she was done with the rest of her chores the phone rang. She saw it was Amber and picked it up immediately. "Hay'ya," Amber's voice said from the earpiece. "Hey Amber, what's up?" "Nothing much. I'm just bored. Can I come by and hang out?" Thankful for having something else besides cleaning to occupy herself she quickly agreed. Being only a street away Amber was at the door a very short time later. "You look all sweaty and gross" Amber said in greeting when she opened the front door and let her in. Karen snorted in amusement. "Thanks for the observation. If you want you can clean my house and that way I'll stay in pristine condition."" "Hmmm, I think not. Your standards of clean are much higher than mine." "I know, I've been in your room" "What are you up to now that you're not cleaning," Karen can hear the hint in Amber's statement. "Amber, if you want to go swimming we can. I'm defiantly hot enough to appreciate it. You can just ask like a normal person you know." "Thanks, much!" Amber simply responded in a cheerful voice. "I was just making sure I wasn't intruding on something." "Intruding on something? Like what?" Amber gave her a hard disbelieving look. "I figured you'd have Emma squirreled away here somewhere." The reminder of being separated from Emma slammed into. It must have shown on her face because Amber gave her a more comforting smile now. "Karen, you really missing her aren't you?" She couldn't explain about the bond thing so she just nodded. It was part of the truth anyway. Amber hugged her and then got them both headed up to her room. "Sorry," Amber said as they climbed the stairs. "We'll hurry up and go swimming and help put your loneliness aside for a bit." Once in her room Amber went to her dresser and pulled out a suit for each of them. Amber kept some here for when she was over so she didn't have to remember to bring one in case they spontaneously decided they wanted to go swimming. Summer heat has a way of causing decisions like that when you've got a nice cool looking pool out back. They both stripped down calmly, they'd seen each other naked many times before, and slipped into their bikinis. Karen had a nice black and white one. It was a bit on the small side and showed a lot of skin but she mainly only wore this one at home so she could tan in private. Ambers was a blue and white Hawaiian floral pattern also very skimpy for the same reasons. When they were set to go out back Amber gave her a disappointed look. "I miss it already," Amber said. "Miss what?" Karen asked her curiously as she got them each a towel. "Every other time I changed in front of you I got a good once over from you, now you barely batted an eye." Karen had used to do that almost out of reflex; it wasn't her fault Amber was good looking. "Why is that bothering you?" "Because it meant you thought I was hot!" Amber said sounding exasperated a little "Ever since I knew you probably liked girls I always used that look you gave me to reaffirm that I still looked good. It was always a nice compliment." "Are you saying you want me to eye you up?" Karen asked with a grin as they exited the house onto the back patio. The last of the summer heat greeted them in humid sweltering fashion. A chill morning and a hot humid afternoon were typical examples of Michigan weather. Quickly they tossed their towels to one side and slipped into the nice cool water. "Oh that feels great!" Amber said before resuming her conversation while holding just her head above water. "I'm just saying that I miss that bolstering shot to my ego. Now that Emma's got you hooked good I guess I'm going to have to get used to it I guess." "You still look good Amber" she told her friend truthfully. "Emma has center stage in my mind but I'll give you a side role of you want." "Guess that just means I'm not the body type you like huh?" Amber asks jokingly. "You like the petite girls you can hold?" For a moment a mental image of Emma's nude form in her arms fills my mind. It disappeared quickly but it was enough for a bit of arousal and longing for Emma to burn within her. She felt an appreciative wave of feeling from Emma meaning that her girlfriend had known where her mind had gone. She was fine with that, and she really did want Emma right now and wanted the girl to know it. "Yeah, I definitely like the one I've got," she told Amber firmly. "Just touching her is amazing to me." She and Amber swam, joking around for a while, enjoying the nice day they had before fall and winter decided it was time to arrive. As usual they just chatted and joked about whatever until during a moment when they were both leaning against a wall together Amber changed gears. "What's it like?" Amber asked out of the blue. "What's what like?" "Being with a girl I mean. You've already pretty much admitted you and Emma have done it already. I've always been bit curious since I knew you liked girls but now I'm even more so when I can see the happiness in you." Karen considered it for a moment. Then she made the best attempt she could to explain her feelings. "When I hold Emma in my arms and lie with her it just feels natural. Like that's where I'm supposed to be and that that's exactly what I supposed to be doing. I can't describe it really well but to me it's amazing." Amber appeared to consider her answer for a moment and gave a reply that kind of shocked Karen. "I've seen you two together. You guys look so incredibly happy. Even before she was your girlfriend you always seemed happy to be near her. I've actually been considered finding a girl myself to try it out too. I'd like to at least see what it's like." ""You've really been considering going out with a girl too?" Karen asked amazed. "Yeah, I don't see why not." Amber gave a rueful shrug. "It's not like my attempts with guys have gone well. So I've just been considering that avenue now." "Anyone spark your interest?" Karen asked, now curious. "Sure, there have actually been a few girls I've met at our school that I wouldn't mind exploring things with. " Over the next several they talked about girls at school the way most teenagers would gossip about boys. It was a strange conversation at first but they both really got into it. At one point Amber gave her another surprise. "Hey Karen." "Yeah, what?" she responded "Can I feel you up a little?" Amber asked as if it was no big deal. "Why do you want to do that?!" Karen said incredulously. "Because I want to know what its like to hold another girl like that," she responded. "You're the only hot lesbian I know besides Emma and you're my friend." Karen had to think for a minute. She was worried that Emma would feel what had just been asked and be angry with her. When she checked the bond she realized the girl had felt it and was amused by it, not angry. Since she seemed to have permission she told Amber. "I guess you can, I'm not gonna have sex with you though. Even as friends I won't do that to Emma." "Wasn't planning on letting it go that far," Amber sounded very amused. "You really do get your mind in the gutter pretty quickly." Karen just blushed and let Amber move up behind her. Amber then reached her hands around to Karen's stomach. One hand then went up and groped a breast while the other just cupped her crotch. It didn't move or finger her, it just cupped her there. After a few moments of Amber rubbing her breasts and playing with her nipples, she let go and came back around in front of her. "So," Karen was more than a little turned on and was breathing a bit rough. "What did you think?" "I think groping you was hot!" Amber said making gripping motions as if she still wanted to do it some more. "It makes me a bit jealous again of you and Emma, she can get her hands on you like that all the time." They both laughed at that, and they decided to get out and relax for a bit. When they got out of the pool and were sunning themselves dry Amber saw that Karen suddenly wasn't paying attention. Amber reached over to Karen's lounge chair and snapped her fingers in front of her face. "Where'd you go all of a sudden?" Amber asked when she came back to attention. "Emma was just in her garden," she said absently. It felt wonderful to enjoy Emma's pride and accomplishment as she worked. Then she realized what she'd just said. She looked over and Amber was giving her a very odd look. "How on earth can you know that?" Amber asked. "I just know, I can't explain why?" It sounded a bit lame even to Karen's ears. "You just know?" Amber repeated in a very odd tone. "Hmmm" Karen was going to try and shore up her excuse a little but what she felt from Emma cut her off short. There was a sudden sense if mischievousness and intent coming to her strongly. Emma had felt her arousal in the pool and was going to get her back somehow. She knew that's what Emma was thinking. What she was feeling from Emma changed slightly and then she felt a sense of warmth and contentment. She remembered the hot tub in the garden. Emma was naked in that hot tub. Just the thought of it was enough to start her juices going even more than Amber's hands on her had. She felt a new wet spot forming on her now sun dried suit. She felt a hot wave of more arousal sweep on top of her through the link. Emma was now pleasuring herself in the hot tub. She new exactly what that would do to Karen; she felt very amused as well as very horny. Karen knew Emma had herself placed on one of the water jets and was riding it for all she was worth. That nearly ended Karen's self control. "Oh god!" she gasped out, surprising Amber who'd been watching her worriedly when she hadn't responded again. "What's wrong Karen?" Amber definitely sounded worried. Karen though was already too engrossed in the heady cloud of her own arousal to notice or watch her words. "Emma decided to pay me back for the pool thing a moment ago," she rasped it out as one of her hands went under her suit top and began massaging her right breast. The other stopped just away from her suit bottom, clutching her leg tightly. "She's masturbating in the freaking hot tub!" Karen wanted to be in that hot tub as well. She wanted to put her hands on Emma in a most satisfactory way. "Your not kidding are you?" Amber asked her sounding a little stunned and disbelieving. "Oh hell no, I'm not kidding; I can feel her all the time in my head!" She knew she shouldn't have said that but she was way too high on the pleasure running through her. Finally her last wall of resistance crumble and she yanked the tie on her suit bottom open, pulled it aside and began to frig herself furiously. She was completely oblivious to the fact that Amber was watching her the whole time. If she'd been fully aware she would have realized that she was spread legged and giving Amber a very hot show of her fingers trilling her clit and one hand pinching her nipples. Somehow she'd also pulled her suit top aside without being conscious of it, exposing her good sized breast to her friend. She was so incredibly worked up that she knew she wasn't going to last long. As she approached her climax she opened eyes she didn't remember closing and nearly halted in shock. Amber was sitting on her lounger playing with her self just as openly as Karen was. Desire overpowered her shock after that one instance and she moved her finger faster on her clit then started rubbing her whole hand across her pussy in rapid strokes. When her orgasm hit she nearly blacked out. In fact she nearly fell out of the chair as she stifled her passionate scream. She was just beginning to be able to think again when she heard a second cry from across from her. Amber was there, butt off the chair and her face scrunched in effort. Karen watched Amber cum as her own body twitched in small aftershocks. After they both calmed down Karen felt a heady wave of happy pride and love from Emma, she returned that love with her thanks. She didn't want to move from yet but she needed to talk to Amber. "Uhm, Amber," she asked tentatively to her eyes closed friend. Amber sat up to look at her; Karen couldn't read what she was feeling. "What's up Karen?" "Uh can you not tell anyone about what I told you, I wasn't really able to think clearly and I kinda blurted that out and it needs to be a secret for a while yet?" Amber's face took on a wondering look, her flushed post orgasmic cheeks made it look almost ecstatic. "Sure thing, but you really can feel Emma?" "Well yeah," she went on to explain it all. She figured she may as well since Amber had already heard the important part. At the end they sat in silence again. "Well that explains a lot." Amber said after a few moments. "That's why you suddenly started masturbating like that so suddenly?" "Yeah, we can feel another's arousal and it kinda builds and resonates until were both a wet mess regardless of the distance." She gave an amused shrug. "Emma felt everything you did in the pool to me and decided to pay be back with interest. In fact she's feeling very happy with herself right now." "Right now?" "Yep", she said and pointed of to the left. "About 15 miles that way." "That sounds so awesome!" Amber was still looking stunned. "And it happened because you were the first person she had sex with?" "Uh-uh," she knew she sounded proud about that but she didn't care. "And it is awesome. I can feel how much she loves me and vice versa. And holding her is the most amazing feeling in the world." In fact she was reveling in that loving feeling still. Emma was still in her hot tub relaxing but she still gave her that wondrous glow. "I'm so jealous right now." Amber said with a sudden grin. "It sounds like a lot of fun too. You were so wound up and hot a moment ago I could help myself to joining in." "Yeah I saw that." Karen grinned back. "You were staring right at me." "Well sorry if you were getting me so horny!" Amber said with mock sarcasm. "I think I really must be leaning toward girls now. I'm still feeling a bit wet just from seeing you lying there with your tits out and cum all over your thighs." Smirking jokingly Karen tugged her suit cups back into place and lifted one leg to block the view of her very wet pussy. Seeing all that wetness she decided to tease Amber a bit and felt a seconded amusement from Emma as she caught the gist of the idea. Karen swiped her finger through her wet mess, a quick shiver as her clit was bumped, and stuck the finger in her mouth. She thought Emma tasted much better than her own juices but it was still good. Amber's reaction was just as funny as Karen thought it would be. She had looked a bit disappointed when Karen had hid herself but she had stiffened noticeably when her finger had descended and then stared wonderingly when she put it in her mouth. Amber squirmed on her chair and licked her lips. "What would Emma think of you teasing me like that?" She said trying to calm herself. "Emma thinks it's funny too." Karen told her with a pleased grin. "'Cus she knows that's all it is and that it'll get you all hot again." "Well your bloody right about that!" Amber said. She had her hands gripping tight on the side of the chair, trying not to touch herself again. "Now I really need to take care of things again and I'm not dong it in front of you this time. Once was plenty embarrassing." "Embarrassing?" Karen smirked again. "I thought it was kinda hot, not embarrassing at all. But if you insist why don't you just duck inside and use the bathroom?" ""Good idea!" Amber said rising quickly and heading for the door. She was already rubbing her breasts before she even got there. Suddenly just as she slid the door open she turned around and gave Karen a victorious grin. Karen knew it meant Amber had thought of a way to win this round of teasing. "I forgot one very important person I'm interested in earlier." Karen heard the baiting tone in the words but she was curious anyway. "Who?" Amber's smile was most defiantly something else now. "She's actually the reason I was staring at you so intently a moment ago, because you two look so alike." "Just tell me already!" Karen told her. She had no idea who she meant that looked similar to her. None came to mind off hand. "It's Michele," Amber said slipping into the open door. "Your sister." With that she disappeared inside leaving Karen feeling stunned. Her best friend was interested in her sister. Her sister was single at the moment but Karen didn't know how she felt about Amber in that role. She wouldn't object if Michele was interested of coarse. It was just a weird and new idea, but not a bad one since Amber and Michele got along really well. Karen had no idea if her sister would respond favorably though. Michele had been more than accepting of Karen's lesbianism but she's never stated her own thoughts. She'd met some of Michele's boyfriends in the past but they'd never lasted very long. Karen was varying curious now. She wanted to talk to Michele and ask her and Amber wouldn't mind. She wouldn't have said anything otherwise since she knew Karen told Michele practically everything. The more the thought about it the more she liked the idea of Amber and Michele together. There was a risk of weirdness with each other if it failed but that didn't seam insurmountable. She mused about it for while until Amber returned more flushed than before. She didn't say anything about her previous statement so Karen didn't either. They spent the rest of the evening as they usually did, just hanging out. The unspoken comment from earlier had hung in the air the whole time. Karen just couldn't wait until her sister got home after Amber finally left for dinner. She was so impatient that when Michele finally did come home Karen had just about tackled her as soon as she came upstairs to her room . "Woah!" Michele gasped when Karen popped in front of her when she had just entered Karen's room. "What's got you so worked up? D'you got Emma hidden here or something?" Karen wanted to sigh at that. It was the second time someone had assumed she'd sneak Emma into her room. She wouldn't mind actually doing that but it was unfortunately not true. She felt Emma mirror her sentiment and that cheered her greatly. "No," She told her sister. "While I'd love to have Emma here with me, I've actually got news for you." "For me?" Michele asked, now curious. She moved and sat on the corner of Karen's bed. "So what is it?" "What would you say if I knew of someone who's interested in you?" "Really? You know of someone?" Karen knew her sister would be interested in such news. Her last boyfriend had been a disappointing bore and Michele had told her she was currently looking for someone else. "How did you hear about someone?" "It's someone I know." Karen answered. Michele thought the information over, then after a moment she quirked a blonde eyebrow upward. "A girl is it?" "Yeah." Michele looked even more thoughtful. Karen thought it was a good sign that her sister hadn't already rejected the idea. "A girl you know." Michele mused aloud. "It must be one of your friends then; I haven't met many other girls you'd know." Karen stayed silent. "Let me change tacks for a moment." Michele said. "Let me name girls that I wouldn't mind trying out and see what you say." "Wait!" Karen said interrupting. "You really would consider a girl, and one my age?" "Yeah," Michele responded with a rueful smile. "Ever since you told be about your liking girls I've kept my own mind open about the idea. I've even been tempted to ask another woman or girl out myself a couple times. And after seeing you and Emma together I wouldn't turn a girl outright if she's interested in me. The age bit isn't too bad; it's only a couple years difference." "Wow," Karen was impressed. "Why haven't you said anything before now?" "Because most of that I formed into a whole thought just now. It's the way I've felt without really thinking about it till you asked me. As for the part about maybe asking girls out myself, I don't know why I never said anything; it's probably because I never tried to follow through." "Well thanks for telling me now." Karen told her sister. "No problem, we've always been honest with each other." Michele smiled. "Now, speaking of honesty, how about you tell me who it is." "Its Amber, "Karen said plainly. "She told me earlier when she came over to hang out." "Amber?" Michele sounded thoughtful again. "She's into girls too?" "She said she's been leaning that way and more so now that she's seen me and Emma together. She said she thought you were hot and even wanted to try feeling me up because we look so similar." "Did you let her?" "Yeah, Emma said she was cool with it." "Emma knew?" How'd Amber respond to that?" Karen laughed. "She groped me good. Then after I teased her for a bit she said she was interested in you." Karen left out the whole masturbation session. "Amber." Again Michele used her musing tone. "I don't really have any immediate objection to her." Michele crossed her arms as she thought. "I like Amber. We've always gotten on well and she's funny." "You'd consider it?" Michel nodded firmly. "Like I said, I don't have any objections. Even if it just ends up with us fooling around with each other for a bit, it doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'll keep an eye on her for a bit and I'll tell her myself when I decide." Karen nodded her own acceptance of her sister's decision. With that they made dinner, spaghetti tonight, and then Karen decided to head to bed early. The sooner she went to sleep the sooner she'd see Emma again. Now that she wasn't preoccupied by other things the lonely feeling had returned and she desired nothing more than Emma in her arms again. When she lay down in bed she sent her goodnight to Emma and a loving wish to see her in the morning. Sleep claimed her with Emma's glowing response filling her mind. |
