Room Mates Learning to Navigate Life (closed to Biker_Faerie)

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea opened the next box, working at moving in to her new apartment. She had just graduated after enduring college, and her first job had her moving hours away from home, family, and friends. Fortunately she knew one person-her roommate, Jenny. Although "knew" was relative; they had met, and had loosely hung out a few times when they were out with some of their mutual friends, but in reality didn't know much about each other after all. All they knew was that living here together would provide a measure of safety and financial stability while both of them worked on beginning their careers.

Chelsea was pretty introverted, preferring to go to class and then study her time away in her room until she felt too pressured and needed to let off some steam. When she got to that point, it felt like she had none of the inhibitions other girls did, and as such she never lacked male attention on those occasions where she did finally go out. But nobody had really stuck around as far as relationships went, so she was starting completely anew.

Jenny on the other hand, had seemed far more reserved. Chelsea didn't know of she were just shy, or not a people person in general, or what. Jenny was always quick with a comeback though, and always had everyone at ease around her, so Chelsea was hopeful that sharing an apartment with her wouldn't make both of them miserable around each other.

Jenny also wasn't due in until the next day, so Chelsea took the liberty of arranging the dishes and kitchen gadgets in a way that made sense to her. If there were any complaints, it wouldn't take much to rearrange, and she wouldn't be put out in the least since she had never set up house before. Fortunately, much of the apartment had come furnished with the necessaries-a couch, a pair of comfy looking chairs, refrigerator, stove, and-surprising to Chelsea-queen sized beds in both bedrooms. She would have to go out and buy new bed linens with her dwindling cash, but it was manageable until she got paid.

After having put away her few belongings and having done a little rearranging, Chelsea took a walk to explore the building and surrounding neighborhood. It mostly seemed populated with younger people, not too many children nor elderly. A pool behind the building offered little in the way of comforts other than what appeared to be very refreshing and clean water, and there was a small exercise room reminiscent of most of the hotels Chelsea had been in. The neighborhood had a grocery store within comfortable walking distance, and was mostly other apartment complexes. Chelsea took the opportunity to get a few groceries to tide the girls over until they could better determine each others preferences and aversions, then returned home to stock the fridge and cupboards.

After putting everything away, she spent a few hours on her laptop to start preparing for her first day of work. She still had almost a week before she started, but she hated to start out behind. Although she quickly tired of that task, and her mind wandered to what kind of people she might encounter living here. Maybe she'd finally meet "the guy" and settle down. She shrugged mentally-even if she didn't, she knew she could at least have some interesting times with a few.

She began to reminisce about some of the guys she had been with, and felt the pangs of burgeoning need. She took her tablet to the room she hoped would be hers and pulled out a couple of her toys. Stripping down, she pulled up one of her favorite erotic story pages and teased herself while she read until she put the tablet down to concentrate better. After a small but satisfying climax, she pulled the twin-sized comforter over herself to sleep, planning on going out the next day to get the new linnens for her bed.

Jenny arrived at the apartment the following day, with her parents in tow. They'd driven her and her belongings the thirty or so miles, from the family home in the suburbs, to the apartment on the cheaper side of the city. When they arrived, Chelsea was nowhere to be seen. It was a Saturday, so Jenny presumed she must have been out shopping, or meeting friends. Jenny was glad. She loved her parents but they fussed over her like a child and she didn't want Chelsea to see that.

Jenny had wanted to move in the previous evening but she worked weekdays and so had needed to wait until the weekend. Unlike Chelsea, she hadn't gone to college but had found a job in the city after graduating high school. She liked the job but hated her daily commute. She'd dreamed of moving up to the city, getting out of the family home and getting some independence.

When she'd heard from a friend that someone was looking for a housemate to rent an apartment with, she jumped at the chance. In all honesty Jenny had been surprised when Chelsea had agreed. Although they were the same age, she seemed far more 'worldly' than Jenny was and, having been to college, more educated too. Jenny had only ever known her closeted existence in the suburbs. The only child of two mildly over-protective parents.

Jenny's mom cried when it was time to leave and made her promise to come home and visit the next weekend. Jenny didn't want to, but felt obliged. She felt bad about wishing her parents would leave quickly but she really hadn't wanted Chelsea to meet them. Once they'd gone she felt like a huge shadow had been lifted from over her. She was finally free.

She began to explore the apartment starting with the kitchen. There was already milk in the refrigerator and a jar of coffee in the cupboard, that was a good sign. There was nothing to make a meal from however and it reminded Jenny that her cooking skills were limited. Cooking was one of the many things that her mom had done for her, but it was one of the things she was looking forward to doing for herself.

The living room wasn't a bad size with a comfy sofa and a decent TV. It looked like the apartment had been recently decorated and most of the furniture seemed almost new, although a bit on the cheap side. Her bedroom was fine and with a queen size bed in it too. She'd only ever slept in a single bed at home. She lay back and spread herself out on it. It felt good.

Out of curiosity Jenny thought she'd have a quick look at Chelsea's room too, just to see if Chelsea had taken 'dibs' on the best room last night. She knew she shouldn't really, but she couldn't help herself. She knocked on the door and when there was no reply, gingerly she opened it. It turned out that Chelsea's room was exactly the same as hers. She was just about to close the door when she noticed the vibrator on the nightstand. Jenny knew what it was but, living at home, she'd never used one before. It made her giggle and she wanted to pick it up, but she closed the door instead and walked backed to her own room.

It was a good job she did because at the same time she heard the sound of the front door being opened.

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea woke up and wrapped a robe around herself. As she wandered out to the kitchen for a breakfast of a granola bar and coffee, she laughed at herself-she could have wandered through the apartment completely nude, and nobody to yell at her. She wondered how Jenny would react; would she be nonplussed? Embarrassed? Tease her? It dawned on her that there might have to be a few discussions about comfort levels. Her college roommates had been comfortable in various stages of undress, but then they had all been on athletic teams. Chelsea didn't really know anything about Jenny's past.

She took the coffee out on the balcony to watch people as they left for the day, making up stories about each of them. The guy in the suit hurrying while looking at his phone had to have kids and was rushing to some high intensity but mind-numbing office job. Obviously a couple of women working in healthcare, judging by their scrubs-maybe the same facility since they rode together, and maybe even roommates. A guy that was in some sort of physical outdoor labor judging by his worn clothes, taut arms, and dark tan. A few women likely in various office jobs, with one possibly having an executive level role based on her high heels, expensive looking outfit, and perfect hair. Chelsea shifted in her seat, readjusting her robe when it pulled tight across her chest as she scooted her rear in the seat.

As she glanced up, she noticed a guy around the building from her, on one of the other sides of the complex facing the pool. He was on the same level as she, and although he was too far away to have really seen anything had obviously noticed her. He raised his own coffee cup in a silent toast of greeting, and she waved back with a sheepish smile. From what she could see, he wasn't bad looking. Distance had a way of covering a lot of blemishes though, and she'd reserve final appreciation for if and when they actually met.

Finally finishing her coffee, she rose from her seat and slid the chair back against the wall from where she'd drug it to better see the people coming and going. With another wave goodbye to her distant neighbor, she went back inside and washed her cup, placing it on the drainer. She took a brief shower, then dressed in a cami top and cutoff shorts to make a quick run to the store for the linens she needed, and to see what might grab her fancy for dinner. It took her about half an hour to find the closest store for such things, and she took her time wandering around browsing. She found a couple of sets of linens for the beds, not knowing if Jenny had some or not. If she did, Chelsea would keep a set for back up. If she didn't, Chelsea was sure they could work something out at some point-even though she had no desire to be a penny pincher with her roommate. She did pick up chicken, pasta, cheese, and pasta sauce to make chicken parmigiana that evening for dinner, hoping it was safe for Jenny.

When she arrived home, she was just able to get everything in one trip into the building. Getting into her apartment though, she had to set a couple of the bags down to fish her keys out of her pocket. Holding the door open with one foot, she slid everything inside before allowing the door to close. As it did, she noticed the extra boxes inside and realized that Jenny must have arrived.

"Jenny!" she sing-songed as she picked up the groceries. "Come out, come out wherever you are!" Leaving the linens in their bags by the door, she gathered the groceries to put away. "Jen-ny!" This time in a poor Forrest Gump impersonation. She knew she was being obnoxious, but was too excited to try and avoid it.

 

[Biker_Faerie]

Jenny heard the door unlock and then Chelsea call out her name. She hadn’t heard the Forest Gump reference in a while. She’d been very young when the film had come out but every now and then someone would see it on repeat and think it was funny to call her in that way. She wasn’t so keen on it though as the character in the film ultimately had a very sad demise.

Jenny rushed to the front door to greet Chelsea. They hadn’t seen each other since viewing the apartment a few weeks ago, although they’d kept in regular contact, messaging almost daily.

Seeing Chelsea made everything seem real at last for Jenny and she couldn’t help letting out a small squeal of excitement as she hugged her new housemate.

“I’m so glad to see you. Do you like the apartment? What was it like last night? Have you met any of the neighbours, what’s the area like?”

Jenny assaulted Chelsea with a barrage of questions before letting up and realising that she was probably coming on a bit strong.

“I’m sorry,” she said backing off. “I’m just a bit excited. You probably want to put that shopping away first. Let me make you a tea. Or a coffee.”

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea laughed in delight at Jenny's excitement and brushed off her apologies.

"I do like it," she replied. "Last night at least was quiet enough, so I don't think we're going to have noisy neighbors. I helped myself to the one room last night, but if you'd rather we can switch. I didn't have any sheets or blankets for a bed that size, so bought some today. Enough for a set for both of us if you don't already have any either."

As she talked, she put away the few groceries she had picked up.

"I haven't  met any of the neighbors yet, but waved to one while I was having coffee on the balcony this morning. Everyone seems our age to slightly older from watching the comings and goings this morning. A few families, maybe a few couples, a very few old folks.

"Obviously there's the pool. There's a small exercise room. A laundry in the back corner of the building. A grocery store within walking distance, but clothes and everything else will be a drive.

"Was that everything?" Chelsea laughed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to monopolize the conversation." She plopped down on one of the chairs before jumping back up to grab the linens.

"Here are the sheets I bought. I just picked out what I thought was cute. If you don't like either of them, we can either take them back or something."

Chelsea finally ran out of steam for a minute and threw her arms around Jenny again.

"Hopefully you're looking forward to this as much as I am! I'm not too picky about most things, and I'm sure I'm probably too over the top for you, but let me know and I'll try to tone things down or accommodate!" She kept her body glued to her rommate's affectionately but pulled her head back to look her in the face.

"I can even be circumspect about the guys you bring home if you promise to do the same," she whispered conspiratorially while wiggling her eyebrows lasciviously.

 

[Biker_Faerie]

“I don’t have much experience with guys,” Jenny admitted shamefacedly. “Or girls,” she added trying not to appear prejudiced, especially as Chelsea’s arms were still wrapped around her.

She watched the look on Chelsea’s face change slightly. Was that concern or disbelief she could see now?

“But that’s something I’m hoping to rectify,” she clarified with an impish grin. “Perhaps you can help me. I’m really not very experienced, as you’ve probably already guessed by now. “

“As for linen I’m afraid I’ve already got mine sorted or I should say my mom has. Sheets, pillowcases, towels, She’s brought me everything I could possibly need and she’s probably sewed my name tag into them all to boot. I’m sorry but thank you for thinking of me,” Jenny said giving Chelsea a squeeze.

“But as it’s our first night together as housemates what do you think we should do to celebrate?” Jenny asked. “We could go out to for a meal or something, but I warn you money’s a little bit tight this month after having to find the deposit on this place. Or… we could get stay in and cook something. That’s another thing I’m hoping to master by the way, but I could go out and get us a couple of bottles of wine. ”

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea tried hard not to show her amazement at Jenny's revelation about being inexperienced with guys. Then the other woman mentioned "or girls", and she felt her heart beating hard enough she was sure Jenny could feel it due to how tightly the two were still pressed together. Chelsea herself wasn't particularly into girls, but when a need arose and another girl was the safest or most available route, she wasn't about to be too picky. Besides, Jenny seemed to be offering herself by stating she wanted to change her experience level.

Chelsea's mind raced with the possibilities while her roommate continued on about the bed clothes, giggling with Jenny at the appropriate times.

"I well understand about the money situation," she replied ruefully. "I'm down to just enough for groceries and gas with just a little left over. But I was all ready to cook tonight, and then we can either enjoy that wine or we can go out to celebrate." Her hands shifted so that she was lightly jiggling a breast of each of the girls, and her heart beat even harder than before at being so bold. "All we have to do is dress to emphasize these a little, and all we'll have to buy is our own first round," she winked conspiratorially.

Dropping her hands, afraid she may have mistaken Jenny's earlier comment and crossed a line she shouldn't, she hugged her roommate again before linking their arms and dragging Jenny to the kitchen. "Chicken parmisiana sounded good to me tonight. Hopefully it does to you too. I enjoy cooking, so if you don't want to or don't feel comfortable, I can take care of it most of the time."

She stooped to pull out the pans she needed, as well as a cutting board and rolling pin. Laying one of the boneless breasts down, she rolled it flat. "My mom always either did the pre-packaged stuff or cheated with chicken nuggets, but one of my roommates in college taught me to do it this way, and I like it better. I still use bought noodles instead of making my own, but it's not nearly as carb dense as what Mom did."

As she worked, she chattered away with her new roommate, trying to learn more about her; what she liked and didn't for foods, what she might like for TV shows and movies, the kinds of people she liked to hang out with, music tastes, and all the things that made living with someone else bearable or not.

 

[Biker_Faerie]

Jenny was glad that she’d got her lack of experience of pretty much all real world life skills out on the table. And it seemed that Chelsea still liked her in spite of it.

She’d been surprised when Chelsea had touched her breasts but not unpleasantly She liked that there could be intimacy between them. In any case the truth of it was that, in her eagerness to be accepted, Jenny would have let Chelsea do pretty much anything to her. For a moment Jenny wondered if Chelsea might actually be a lesbian but then remembered the comment she’d made about bringing boys back to the apartment. It wouldn’t have worried her if she had been though.

Chelsea probably wasn't going to be too impressed with her wardrobe however and Jenny wasn't sure there was much in it that was going to emphasise her breasts. Most of the clothes she had were on the conservative side and out of work she spent most of her time in jeans and a tee shirt. But Chelsea was right, if they were going to go out they definitely needed someone else to be buying the drinks.

Jenny tried to answer Chelsea’s questions as best she could. As far as food was concerned she was a bit of a human dustbin but had a metabolism that could cope with it. Despite the current craze for plant base food and however noble a cause it was, she was a carnivore at heart and loved her meat.

When it came to TV she’d grown up on a diet of vampires and werewolves and liked shows with a bit of a mystical or occult flavour. Her current favourite was Lucifer and she admitted to Chelsea that she thought Tom Ellis was really hunky. Then, with a giggle, she also admitted that she had a thing for Lauren German too.

“I don’t know why but I like horror movies too," she added. 'The gorier the better.”

As far as music went she didn’t really have an opinion. She could listen to pretty much anything except Country and Western

“My parents are crazy for it. They go out line dancing and everything. They tried to get me to go but I hated it," she told Chelsea, pulling a face at the same time. "But I’m hoping that now we’re in the city maybe we could see some live music. I'd like that.”

When it came to her choice of who she'd like to hang out with Jenny struggled. She had few friends and was a bit of a loner really but she was at a loss to explain why. She didn’t want to be.

She watched as Chelsea took charge of things in the kitchen. Chelsea seemed so confident and in control and cool with it.

Jenny was already a bit in awe of her housemate.

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea continued to chatter back and forth with Jenny as she worked. It was true, she enjoyed cooking, and Jenny's lack of experience in the kitchen gave her the opportunity to share that enjoyment with her. It seemed likely that the two would be friends, rather than just people who shared an apartment, and she expressed that to the blonde.

She had to laugh and shake her head at Jenny's movie tastes; she didn't mind them once in a while and tended to prefer the startle factor more than the disgusting factor. She also had to admit her preference for live music of any genre. She didn't listen to much outside of that, usually having her earphones in and listening to a podcast or streaming service. Chelsea was also more of a reader than watcher, so Jenny would mostly have access to whatever she wanted to watch. After Jenny's remarks about liking meat, Chelsea teased her about "tube steak", but she also sheepishly admitted that her sexual experience wasn't nearly at the level she'd allowed people to think. Most of it was just for show. Only three guys had ever been allowed to go all the way with her. And two girls, although she didn't mention that out loud; Jenny had seen her making out with one of their mutual friends before, but that had been more to help the other girl show off for one of the guys she was trying to get with. Chelsea didn't know if Jenny knew that last part, but still had no plans on revealing her friend's secret.

Before she knew it dinner was not only ready, but consumed and cleaned up. She hung the dishcloth across the divide in the sink to dry and dried her hands before throwing her arms over Jenny's shoulders affectionately.

"So, celebration!" she said excitedly. "I have no preference. Wine in, or coercing guys to buy us drinks out? If we're going out, we probably need to start getting ready now."

 

[Biker_Faerie]

The meal Chelsea cooked was great and while Jenny had intended to improve her cooking skills she knew she'd let Chelsea cook if that was what she enjoyed doing.

It was good to know that Chelsea wasn't so much more experienced than her when it came to men, or women for that matter. It embarrassed Jenny that she was still a virgin but she hadn't seen the need to throw herself under the first passing guy, just to lose the tag. Plus she had some standards and in any case she'd have been mortified if the first passing guy had ignored her and walked on. What she needed was an attractive sure thing. Man or woman, it didn't matter. She was after all a modern woman, even if she wasn't plant based.

Chelsea put Jenny on the spot over whether to go out or not and she was useless at making decisions like that.

"Honestly, I don't know." Jenny replied, squirming like a worm on a hook. "It's been fun chatting and I'd be happy to stay in and share a couple of bottles of wine."

Jenny thought some more, trying to find the words to articulate her conundrum without coming down too hard for one option or the other, in case it wasn't Chelsea's preferred option.

"On the other hand I like the idea of going out too. But i don't know if i've got anything in my wardrobe that's gonna make a guy want to buy me a drink. And while the idea of guys buying us drinks sounds fun, aren't they going to want something in return?"

"Why don't you make the decision, Chelsea." Jenny pleaded. "I'll go along with whatever you choose. Pleeeease!!!"

 

[fnchristie81]

"I see we're going to have to work on firm joint decisions," Chelsea laughed. "But if it's just your wardrobe that's keeping you from wanting to go out, I can take care of that! I'm a little bigger in some areas, smaller in others, but we're close enough to the same size I'm sure we can find something that'll look cute on you!" She hooked her arm around the back of Jenny's neck and pulled Jenny's arm around her own waist, then led her back to the bedrooms.

"Ok, go put on your cutest undies and meet me back here. I'll look through some of my clothes for something flirty that will work for you until we can update you." She turned to start digging through the bags and boxes she hadn't yet unpacked in case Jenny wanted this bedroom as hers. Tops got distributed into a few different piles, the one on the bed being for Jenny to try out. Another pile for hanging up in the closet, and another to be put away in the dresser. After that, she started looking through skirts, shorts, and some of her sexier pants following the same pattern. One outfit she set aside for herself for the evening.

Faster than she was ready, she heard Jenny come back in her room and stand by the door. Chelsea kept sorting and talking.

"As far as the guys expecting, they can expect all they want," Chelsea said dismissively. "It's one thing to flirt, but I don't like leading them on. We do need to discuss girl code though. Actively putting a guy's hands on you means you're enjoying him and wouldn't mind spending the night with him. Looking at the other and pushing him away a little means you want rescued. I can play a bitch jealous of my girlfriend pretty convincingly! Dancing is just dancing. I'm not picky about my dance partners; that's more about the fun of the moment.

"We do need to work out something for some 'extra help' to hook a guy though. I've been that girl a few times. Andi and I had it worked out that all she had to do was bring him over and introduce him to me and ask me what I thought, and I'd play her bi lover. You know, hinting that I might be willing to join in if they actually did the deed. A little petting, a kiss or two, that sort of thing. Hands on skin, just underneath the bra or pants line really gets guys ready to be reeled in," she laughed. "Feel free to try out the clothes on the bed. There should be somethings there that strike your fancy!"

Having gotten everything sorted, Chelsea stripped down to start re-dressing. G-string and lacy bra, party length skirt, and cami top that allowed her bra cups to just show.

 

[Biker_Faerie]

Jenny loved the clothes that Chelsea had sorted out for her. They were the sort she would have bought for herself, had she had anywhere to go in them.

She was a little shorter than Chelsea and probably a bra size smaller too. Her thighs were slightly chunkier also, but muscular, not fat. She'd been on the school athletics team when she was younger but by the time she was in her mid teens she was losing out to the taller, more well developed athletes. If she'd concentrated on gymnastics as one teacher had suggested she might have had a better chance. But it was all conjecture and anyway she wasn't sure she had what was needed to compete at the top level anyway. Her dad called her a pocket rocket and it was probably a good description. She'd never had an ounce of fat on her despite her prodigious appetite.

Jenny gravitated toward the tight clingy tops and skirts but what really grabbed her attention was a pair of tight PVC hot pants. She put them on and stood in front of Chelsea in just the hot pants and a bra.

"What do you think?" she asked.

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea looked up at Jenny at the question, then looked hard from feet to waist, to chest, and finally eyes.

"I think I hope you're not going to mind hands all over you!" she exclaimed. She moved towards the other woman and did just that, running her hand up the outside of Jenny's thigh as low as she could reach then up over her hip to the waistband of the pants. "I also think you need to keep those. They look on you like I'd hoped they would on me, but instead they just sag and bunch. And I've got a top that should go great with it."

Chelsea rummaged through the tops on the bed and came up with a pink peekaboo halter top. "You won't fall out of this, but you also won't be able to wear that bra. Not that you look like you need one anyways. Plus it also feels deliciously naughty going without," she giggled.

She turned to the mirror while Jenny finished dressing.

"Now for the makeup," she said thoughtfully. "High rollers or flirty, do you think?" she asked.

 

[Biker_Faerie]

“I don’t mind,” Jenny replied as usual. “As long as it doesn’t say ‘broke and can’t afford their own drinks’. Or prostitute.”

Chelsea got to work. Neither of them needed much makeup. But that’s the beauty of being young.

Jenny liked her new look although she did wonder if she looked a bit too much like a tart. She wasn’t used to exposing so much flesh, but Chelsea was dressed similarly so at least there would be strength in numbers.

When Chelsea had run her hands up her body, Jenny had turned ticklish for a moment and had needed to suppress a giggle. Chelsea was definitely a tactile person and Jenny didn’t want her to think that she wasn’t. So when the two girls turned to each other for a final critique of each other, Jenny made a point of putting both hands on Chelsea’s hips.

“You look gorgeous,” she told Chelsea. “The boys won’t be able to resist you. And thank you for dressing me. “

Jenny reached in and brushed Chelsea’s cheek lightly with her lips then let go and stepped back.

“So where are we going?” She asked.

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea laughed at Jenny's remarks about the extremes of broke and street walker. It seemed the girls had similar tastes in that regard. Chelsea did Jenny's eyes in a soft pink to match her outfit, and her own eyeshadow to coordinate hers.

When she was done, she was pleased that Jenny seemed to share her touchiness by putting her hands on Chelsea's hips and giving her a light kiss on the cheek. Chelsea managed a similar kiss before Jenny stepped back, then cocked her hip to think about where they were going.

"I didn't make it that far exploring yet," she said thoughtfully. "I suppose we could either ask around the building about good places, or we could just drive around until we found something."

 

[Biker_Faerie]

“I don’t think driving’s a good idea. Not if we’re drinking,” Jenny told Chelsea. “We should probably ask around then get an UBER.”

Jenny put a denim jacket over her top. She didn’t want to walk around in public dressed as she was. Her legs were still exposed but it was a Saturday night and that could probably be said for half the girls I’m the city. Chelsea was even bolder she didn’t take a jacket at all.

It was a warm evening and there were still a few people by the pool. So the girls thought it would be a good place to ask about clubs.

A young couple were just packing up when they got there and they caught them before they left. He was white while she was Chinese Asian. Both were good looking but heavily tattooed.

“Hi. We’ve just moved in and we’re looking to go to a club,” Jenny asked.

“What are you into? “ the girl said, eyeing both girls up.

“Just a regular club. Somewhere to dance, Chelsea replied. “Maybe a place where guys would buy us drinks. We’re flat broke you see.”

“Try The Palms on Dalton street,” the guy replied helpfully.

His eyes lingered on Chelsea a bit too long though. Not that his partner seemed to mind she was doing the same to Jenny.

“And the way you both look I’m sure you’ll have no problem with the drinks,” he added.

“You could always come back to our place and party,” the girl said.

“Thanks but it’s our first night together and we want to celebrate. Perhaps another night?” Jenny said politely.

“Any time hun,” the girl replied licking her lips.

“You girls an item?” The guy asked.

“No,” Jenny giggled. “Just housemates.”

“Cool. We’re Pete and Diana by the way.”

“Jenny and Chelsea. Pleased to meet you.”

“We’ll if you’re free another night we’re in thirty three,” Diana offered and then the two of them picked up their bags and set off for their apartment.

When they were out of earshot Jenny grabbed Chelsea’s arm.

“What do you think those two get up to?” She giggled.

“I don’t know,” Chelsea chucked. “But he was cute though and she was definitely undressing you with her eyes. No mistake.”

“She was undressing me,” Jenny exclaimed. “He looked like he was figuring out how he was going to fuck you.”

Jenny watched as her friend blushed ever so slightly.

So are we going to take them up on their offer?” Jenny asked.

“I’m not sure.” Chelsea replied. “We’ve no idea what they’re like.”

“I Dare you.” Jenny told Chelsea. “And you can’t refuse a dare.”

“Ok,” Chelsea replied. “But you realise I’m going to dare you back at some point.”

“I know,” Jenny giggled again. Then added, “It’s funny they thought we were an item though. I wonder why?”

“Well, we live together, I guess,” Chelsea replied.

“So shall we try the palms?” Jenny asked.

“Definitely!”

Jenny typed The Palms into the UBER app. Only three minutes until pick up.

“Come on,” she said to her friend. “Let’s get to the front of the building. It’ll be here soon.”

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea had enjoyed the banter with the couple, and was surprised that Jenny had not only seemed to be flirting back but had dared her to take them up on their offer.

As the girls made their way through the building to watch for their ride to show up, Chelsea looked askance at Jenny. Exceptionally cute, and apparently as open to sapphic encounters as she had alluded to earlier. Jemny hadn't even flinched at having Diana looking her over sexually, and had been relaxed at discussing it. Chelsea began to wonder what those blue eyes and blonde locks would look like peering up at her from between her own thighs.

"Pact time," she announced. "Tonight is just us. As much fun as we want while we're out and with whomever we find, but we leave together and bring no one home. We'll save that for next time!"

Within moments of arriving at the front of the apartment complex, Jenny's phone pinged that their ride was outside. The girls climbed into the backseat, both of them having to be careful due to the length of their skirts. Their driver was a cute enough guy, and Chelsea struck up a conversation with him asking about the city, if he lived close by, what he did during the day, and generally trying to get a feel for the area to which she had moved. For his part, the man was witty and had the girls laughing, flirting back at both of them without paying too much attention to either. Chelsea flirted and laughed back, her hand going frequently to her roommate-her hamd, her thigh, her arm, keeping Jenny engaged with both other people as well.

Jenny had been pleased when they’d made their pact not to bring any boys back that evening. Jenny explained that she’d only started taking the pill that day as her parents wouldn’t have approved while she was under their roof. And to be honest there hadn’t been any point anyway. It would be two weeks before Jenny would be safe. She’d have to wait until then or perhaps use a condom if the need arose, but she’d waited twenty one years, another fortnight didn’t seem too difficult.

She watched with interest as Chelsea flirted with the taxi driver. Chelsea was good at flirting whereas Jenny hadn’t had much experience. But she was keen to learn. She observed how her friend made small talk, occasionally being slightly risqué, but never going too far and she was always careful not to lead the guy on.

It was only a short journey in the Uber and the driver dropped them right outside the entrance to the club. They said good bye to him and made their way to the door. The driver waited to see that they were ok then he drove off. When the app pinged Jenny gave him five stars but couldn’t afford a tip.

“ID girls,” one of the bouncers on the door told them in a disinterested voice as they approached.

They fished out their I.D.s and the bouncer gave them a cursory inspection.

“You’re good,” he said unclipping the rope that acted as a symbolic barrier. Then in a voice devoid of any sort of emotion he added, “Have a good night.”

"I hope that's not a harbinger of the rest of the evening!" Chelse saod to Jenny as they stepped through what seemed to be an outer set of door leading to an entryway to the club itself. Inside these doors, the music was much louder, and inside the inner doors louder still. She had to shout to make herself heard as she gestured to the bar.

The crowd inside was large, but not nearly as packed as she assumed a weekend evening would be. The girls were able to make their way to the bar without having to cling to each other for fear of being separated, and only had to squeeze their bodies between small groups a few times.

Once at the bar, Chelsea pushed Jenny into the only noticeable seat, then stood pressed against her.

"Shots first!" she exclaimed. A few people nearby overhead and turned to them smiling. The guys were all uniformly attractive, the girls equally so and dressed similarly to Chelsea and Jenny. One of the guys immediately spoke up.

"I'll buy those shots, since you're celebrating too!" he yelled over the music and chatter.

Chelsea turned to him with an impish grin.

"And what are you celebrating?" she asked.

""The company of two hotties for the night," he replied expressively.

Chelsea twirled her hair over a finger and leaned towards him, her eyelids lowering seductively.

"In your dreams, maybe," she laughed.

“Don’t kick a man when he’s down,” the guy responded. “It’s my birthday and I’m all alone in the world.”

From the look of the group he was with, it might well have been true. Although it could have been just a line of course. The group wasn't all guys, there were a few couples too. All young, all good looking, all out for a good time. From the way they were dressed they looked as if they could afford to buy their own drinks for sure.

Chelsea allowed the guy to buy them their shots and he bought a round for his friends at the same time. With a large whoop they all did their shots together then banged the glasses on the bar afterwards. It was only vodka but it slipped down Jenny’s unpractised throat surprisingly easily.

She'd had been astonished at how easy it had been to get a guy to buy you a drink. But now she wasn’t sure what social convention dictated should happen next. They’d already established they were going home alone tonight. So how was Chelsea going to play it. Jenny watched with interest.

“So what are you girls celebrating?” another of the group asked.

“It’s the first day in our new apartment,” Chelsea told them ambiguously resting her hand on Jenny’s leg. Jenny saw what was happening and placed her own hand in the small of Chelsea’s back and smiled at her.

The fact that they were potential lesbians didn’t seem to put the guy off one bit. Maybe he thought he was up to the job of of converting them. He’d probably already had a few drinks however and so his judgement might have been somewhat impaired.

“Well that calls for another round,” he hollered and a whoop went up from the group.

Again the shots went down in one and again Jenny threw hers back with ease. As the alcohol worked its way into her system, Jenny felt her awkwardness beginning to disappear and her inner impishness starting to replace it.

Chelsea had to admit that Jenny's bare skin felt good underneath her hand. As did Jenny's hand on her own back; it was too soon for it to just be the alcohol.

The shots and the lively atmosphere brought out the worst of her natural flirtatious personality. As their new guy friend kept talking with them, no doubt trying to get lucky, Chelsea couldn't keep herself from touching him even though she was almost leaning against Jenny.

Finally though, his attention was pulled back to his own group, and Chelsea turned to Jenny.

"Let's dance!" she exclaimed, pulling Jenny out onto the floor. She threw her arms around Jenny's neck, her body twisting and swaying to the heavy bass beat. There was a chance the group would move on, taking their benefactor with it. Or he might try and stick around, but that wasn't Chelsea's concern. She was out to celebrate with her roommate. And even if the entire group did leave, there were plenty of other guys that would likely buy them drinks.

Now that she had a couple into her though, Chelsea could care less. She wondered what Jenny would be like drunk though, and said as much.

"I just get louder, more giddy, and more flirty," she laughed. "And even more handsy, if you didn't think that was possible."

Jenny began to wonder for the second time that evening whether her housemate was indeed a lesbian. The evidence seemed to be building up and some of the comments that Chelsea had made earlier seemed to make sense now

Chelsea was all over her on the dance floor and getting suggestive with it. Jenny played along but she wasn’t sure what to do. She didn’t mind having a housemate who was a lesbian but she wasn’t ready to be one herself. She was too interested in boys to be gay and here she was in the nightclub, on the verge of finally meeting some. Chelsea had told her that the boys would be all over her in those hot pants but the only person who’d been all over her so far had been Chelsea herself.

It began to look to Jenny as if Chelsea was only really interested in guys as a source of alcohol. The two shots already seemed to be having an effect on her too. However, the same high metabolism that let Jenny eat what she wanted stopped her from getting loose at the rate that Chelsea was. It would take a few more shots before Jenny got there. Not that she really needed it to enjoy herself.

Jenny didn’t want to disappoint her new friend though and being the compliant sort she let Chelsea monopolise her. Chelsea’s hands really were all over her now and Jenny felt as if everyone on the dance floor must have been watching them, even though in truth that wasn’t the case. She wanted to say something but she didn’t want to offend Chelsea. Jenny desperately wanted to be Chelsea’s friend.

After a few songs, Chelsea was getting sweaty and thirsty. She wasn't sure how Jenny was able to still be wearing her jacket.

"Come on, I need something to drink!" She pulled Jenny along by the hand through the slightly crowded dance floor back to the bar. Chelsea didn't see the group that had been there when the girls got there, but another had formed. This time though, there were two seats. Before letting Jenny up on one, Chelsea pulled the denim jacket off her roommate's shoulders.

"Take your coat off and stay a while!" she giggled. "Besides, that top was made to be seen, and you've got the body to show it off!" She hung the jacket off from Jenny's lap, then slid into the seat next to her.

When the bartender came around again, Chelsea asked for a pineapple daiquiri; the shots were fun, but she needed something that would actually help quench her thirst. Jenny gave her order, and while they were waiting a relatively attractive man came up and leaned on the bar next to Jenny, not yet looking at her but with an air of interest.

"You picked up an admirer," she said, laughing into her friend's ear. The man continued to stand there as if not having noticed the girls, but definitely giving off the vibe that he was hoping to be talked to. Chelsea nudged Jenny. "I think he's working up the nerve to dance with you!" she teased.

Jenny turned around awkwardly only to look straight into the eyes of the man who Chelsea was trying to point out. He smiled at her and chuckled. Jenny thought he was quite handsome. A bit older than her probably but not by much.

“Not very subtle was it,” he chuckled.

“You’d have got away with it if it hadn’t been for my wing-woman,” Jenny admitted introducing Chelsea.

The two acknowledged each other.

“Do you girls want a drink?” he asked.

Jenny was just about to say that they’d only just ordered when Chelsea piped up.

“Mine’s a pineapple daiquiri.”

“Mine is too,” Jenny added feeling slightly embarrassed.

The guy ordered the drinks and then turned back to the girls.

“I’m Sean,” he said looking straight at Jenny.

“I’m Jenny and this is Chelsea,” she replied. “Are you on your own?”

“No,” he admitted. “My friends are over there. “

The two girls looked over to a group of guys who were looking back at them. One of them waved.

“I said you looked really attractive and they dared me to ask you for a dance,” Sean said with a slight embarrassment, which Jenny understood as she would have felt the same in his shoes.

“And are you?”

“Am i what?”

“Going to ask me.”

“Would you like to dance?” Sean chuckled.

“I thought you were never going to ask,” Jenny joked. Then turning to Chelsea she asked, “Will you look after my jacket?”

 

[fnchristie81]

Chelsea smiled at her friend and pulled the jacket off from Jenny's chair and draped it across the back of her own, then accepted Jenny's purse from her. She spun on her chair to watch Jenny and Sean move out to the dance floor, slowly sipping her drink.
