Hi all. In this thread:
So you want to be a lesbian vampire,

So here, I give an example I wrote over lunch today (yes, another lunchtime story with Aunt Una, sigh) of a common lesbian seduction technique of the nubile virgin - Going to The Movie (note - works on non-lesbians as well. YMMV.)
It was late, and Una asked herself again why she was still sitting in the deserted Starbucks Café in the Barnes & Noble, pretending to be interested in a book. When all she wanted to do was go home and sleep. She rubbed her eyes, and her contacts blurred her vision.
Stupid question - she knew the answer already. She was just lonely. Lonely for any other human contact, even if it was only the bored stares of the two girls running the counter. She hated herself for being so needy, but at least she had no illusions about herself. She sighed, and started to gather her things.
“Hey, that’s a good book. I hope you like it.”
The voice came from a pretty young girl who was picking up cups and wiping the table beside Una. She was average height with short brown hair and large brown eyes. She was very full-figured under her Starbucks apron, and her face held a very charming smile, that seemed honest. Her eyes met Una’s.
“Which one?” Una almost stammered. The girl was very cute.
“Well”, she walked over closer, “all of them, but the Chandler one is really good.” She tapped one unpainted, short fingernail on the cover of The Big Sleep.
“I know. I read it long ago but I lost it. So I just wanted to pick up another.”
“We read it in class, and then we also have to go see the movie to do a comparison. It’s a really old one, you know, the one with Humphrey Bogart?”
“Yes, I’ve seen it before, a couple times. What class are you taking?”
“American Literature, at the JuCo. It’s for the KU Journalism School’s transfer program - I want to go there in a couple years.” She finished cleaning the table, and started to leave.
“Excuse, me - I’m sorry what is your name?”
“Deb.”
“Deb. I’m Una. You said there was a showing of The Big Sleep? In a theatre?”
“Yeah, they’re showing it on campus. They have a 200 seat theatre there. They even sell popcorn, but it’s too salty.”
“That’s really cool. It gives you a whole different experience to see an old film in an actual theatre, instead of just on your TV.”
Deb leaned forward over an iron chair. “Yeah, I know! It seems so much more real in the theatre, with the lights out and the big screen.”
Una thought for a second. “Say, can anyone go to the theatre to see it?”
“Sure, but it costs money - I think it’s $5.00 if you’re not a student.”
“I can swing that. I’ll have to go see it.” Una paused again. “Hey, I don’t know if this seems too forward, but maybe we could go see it together?”
Una braced herself for the expected rejection, as she watched the girl’s face. After seeing a brief flash of doubt, Deb said “OK. OK, yeah. We can go tomorrow if you can make it. They’re showing it at 7:00.”
Una smiled “Sure! Where do I meet you?”
“Pick me up here at 6:30. I work the afternoon tomorrow.” Deb smiled again.
“Great, I’ll see you then!”
Una waited in her car under the overhang in front of the bookstore. Soft, cold rain pelted down out of a leaden sky. Fall was here with a vengeance, and even within her warm coat she shivered.
She unlocked the door as she saw Deb leave the store. Wow, she thought, she’s prettier than I remembered. Una beeped her horn quickly once to get Deb’s attention. Deb squinted, then recognized Una and ran over to the car. A few stray drops of rain spotted her jeans and tee-shirt as she slid into the leather passenger seat.
“Hi Una. Cool car! I didn’t expect this.”
“What did you expect?”
“I don’t know…don’t get offended, but I saw you as more of a BMW driver.”
Una laughed softly. “No, I like my little Mustang just fine. But it is a pain to drive in the Winter. And speaking of Winter - did you forget your coat?”
“Oh, I was stupid and left it at home. It wasn’t supposed to rain today.” Deb bit her lip in mock frustration, and Una felt a thrill pass through her at the sight. She focused on her driving.
Three hours later, they wove their way through the crowd leaving the theatre and stood by the exit. It was cold and blowing now, but the rain had mostly stopped.
“Hey, that was great. It’s not like the book, especially at the end, but I still loved it! And I had a great time. This was a good idea, Una.”
“Well thank you Deb, I had a great time too. The only thing about the movie I don’t like is they never explain what the title means - you know, ‘The Big Sleep’, like they do in the book. But it’s still one of my favorite movies.”
“Yeah, well, maybe they thought finding a body in an oil well sump would be too macabre for an audience at that time.”
“True.” Una looked out at the cold, and both of the women shivered in the wind every time the door opened to let the other moviegoers venture out. “I’ll bet you really wish you had your coat now.”
Deb was shivering even in the theatre, and it was a long walk to the car. She rubbed her bare arms with her hands. “I’ll make it - it’s only a ten-minute walk.” She turned and looked outside, and shivered again.
Suddenly, she was enveloped in warmth as she felt Una slip her coat over her shoulders. “Here you go, my sweater is warm enough for me, you take the coat.”
"Oh no, I can’t, it’s too cold - "
“You don’t really want to go out without it do you? Be honest now.”
Deb blushed a little, and luxuriated in Una’s body heat flowing from the heavy coat into her body. It was almost like slipping into a warm bath, and there was no way she was taking the coat off now. “No, thank you. That’s really thoughtful of you. Let’s run for it.”
The two women braced themselves, and ran into the night.
A half-hour later, they sat in Una’s car in front of Deb’s apartment building.
“Well. Here we are.” Una unlocked the doors.
“Yes.” Deb stayed in her seat, making no move to leave. “I really had a great time Una, and I - well, you wouldn’t believe how lonely I’ve been. It’s great to meet a new friend to do something with.”
Una smiled. “Why thank you Deb. You know, honestly, I feel the exact same way. I don’t have anyone I typically do things with. Why doesn’t a very intelligent and pretty girl like yourself have a boyfriend to do things with?”
Deb shifted in her seat, and looked very uncomfortable. She opened the door partly. “I have to go now. Thanks. Bye!”
Una opened her door and stepped out. “Wait Deb, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you. Please sit for a second more?”, she pleaded.
Deb took off Una’s coat, and folded it over one arm. She climbed back into the car and sat with Una’s coat draped over her lap.
“I know you didn’t mean anything. Look, I didn’t want to say anything, because I didn’t know how you would take it.” Deb sat still, and blushed, struggling for the right words.
Una laid a hand on Deb’s bare forearm, and Deb jumped as if she had been shocked. “Well what’s wrong dear, you’re actually shaking? Here.” Una turned up the heat in the car, and rubbed her hand firmly along Debs’ goose-pimpled arm. Deb started to pull away, then stopped, and turned to Una.
“It’s just that, well, I - I’m gay. I’m a lesbian. I’m sorry, I didn’t want to tell you so you wouldn’t get the wrong idea about me. I’ve just been so lonely since I moved here. None of my friends at work or school know, and my family doesn’t talk to me anymore, and I’ve never had a relationship before so I’m a little afraid of going to the meetings and - why are you laughing at me!?” Deb tried to pull her arm away and open the door again, tears of anger and shame starting to flow.
Una laughed out loud, and gently squeezed Deb’s arm. “No, please, please, little one, you misunderstand me. It’s just that - I’m a lesbian too! I just didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea about me.”
Deb looked into Una’s eyes, and the two women burst out laughing again. Una took some tissues and dried Deb’s eyes and gently patted her face dry. After a minute, they regained their composure, and Deb became suddenly serious. She looked deep into Una’s eyes, with a look so longing and open that Una unconsciously held her breath.
“Please come inside with me”, Deb whispered.
The End.
