Chapter 5
Lily POV
As Lily woke up, she felt warm breathe on her neck and an arm resting on her stomach. The previous night came back to her quickly.
The night she had spent with Wren had been lovely! She had been so gentle,and Lily thought it must have been obvious that she had never slept with a woman before. She had been awkward and hesitant,but Wren had let her through what do do confidently and passionately.
She and James had had sex. Of course they had. And it wasn't that she hated it,but she never really felt like it was as good as some of her friends had said it would be. But last night,she felt it. Wren had known all of the right places to kiss and touch at the exact right times. She had been equal parts sweet and demanding.
Most importantly,she had given lily her first orgasm. It had been explosions of pleasure she had never felt before,a crescendo she had been waiting for in the calm melody of her life before.
And as she lay there the morning after,she felt nothing but peace and comfort in the embrace the beautiful woman that made it happen. Until she didn't feel very peaceful at all.
A nauseous feeling appeared in her stomach and rose up her throat. She felt her mouth water and she rushed into the bathroom adjoined to Wrens bedroom. She only just had time to kneel in front of the toilet before she was puking her guts out into it. The cold bathroom tile stung her kneel and bile stung her throat. Her eyes watered as she coughed up the last of the sick. She flushed,eager to get the smell away.
She couldn't remember the last time she had been hungover. Wait. Hungover? She had only had one drink,hadn't she? She didn't even finish it. Half of a gin martini should definitely not make her through up like that. What if she was coming down with something?
"Are you alright?" Wren appeared in the door frame. She was wearing nothing but a lacy black pair of knickers. Lily was about to answer but gagged,so leaned back over the toilet bowl and gave a thumbs up. "That good,huh? How much did you drink?"
When she was pretty sure that she was done being sick,Lily sat cross legged on the floor. "Like half a cocktail!"
Wren came forward and sat mirrored in front of her. "You don't think someone spiked your drink do you?!" Lily hadn't thought of that. The thought was terrifying. That somebody could have seen her as a target,and tried to attack her! But... no. She had held her first drink the whole time she had it,except for when she abandoned it,and she didn't come back to it after that. And when she had been drinking lemonades with Wren,nobody had come between them enough to get a hand over her glass. "No,I don't think so." She said. "I think i must have a stomach bug or something." Wren took her hand.
It was strange,looking into the eyes of someone you had been so physically close with,who you had met hardly 12 hours ago. "So... That was your first time?"
Lily leaned her head back and smiled. "Yeh i think we both know that it was. Not ever though. I've slept with men,well a man,before."
Wren rested her head on her free hand and wiggled her eyebrows. "Do tell."
"Eesh okay. Well I met him when I was 11 and he decided he liked me. So when I couldn't accept the fact that I like girls,I got with him to hide it when I was 17. We broke up yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Wren gasped.
"Yeh."
"So I was a rebound?"
"No! Of course not! Well,maybe. But it was a mutual split and-yeh. My friends said I should hit the ground running and 'get my lesbian experiences in while I can',or, something."
"Wow. You really do need some 'lesbian experiences'. Based on last night at least." Lily cringed. She aimlessly drew shapes on the bathroom tile with her finger.
"Was I really that bad?"
"No. You were pretty good for someone who's only ever had men."
"Ha! Thank y-" Lily was cut of by an abrupt kiss.
When it ended, Lily repeated herself. "And thank you for that. Um there is something about that actually-"
"I know. It's okay. I get that this was a one time thing." After thoroughly chewing her lip,Lily rushed to explain. "I mean,you're great! Amazing in fact. And I had a lovely night. But I am not in a place to get into anything at the moment and if I were I would absolutely do it with you. You know,if you wanted to I mean."
Wren smiled. "Are you deaf? I said it was okay. I don't really get into serious things either. I do one night stands all the time."
"Right. A one night stand. Never thought I would be the type for a one night stand, but hey that's cool." Lily paused. "Wait. You kissed me when i just threw up."
The woman sitting in front of her gave her a sexy half smile and a wink. "What can I say? You're to hard to resist."
Lily was sure that she flushed from head to toe.
While they were getting dressed,Lily in her clothes from the night before,she had thoughts rushing around in her head. Questions that she would only have been able to ask Wren,nobody else could have the answers. But there was one question bursting to the front of her mind and out of her mouth before she could stop it. "Have you ever...fancied someone you shouldn't have?"
Wren gave her a curious look. "Absolutely. Lets see;" She started to list them off on her fingers. "My year 10 art teacher,my old best mates sister, Diana Ross, my other friends sister..."
Lily cut her off. "What about a friend? Like a really close friend?"
Her heart was racing. She was worried about the answer she would get,and she hoped that somehow,in the next to seconds,Wrens vocal chords would magically leave her body,and she would never be able to tell lily what she didn't want to hear.
"Got the hots for a mate? She really cute?" Wren watched as Lily's eyes look on a hazy quality,as if she was looking without seeing,but seeing just images in her head.
"Beautiful."
"Wow! You do have it bad!" Lily frowned. "Alright. Do you know if she's queer?"
Letting out a deep sigh,Lily flopped down onto the bed. "She has only ever dated men. A lot. Shoves it in all our faces really,how much action she gets."
She looked up when she felt a hand on hers. Wren had sympathy on her face.
"You're gonna be okay."
Lily left without her phone number,and without giving her hers.
James wasn't back at the flat when Lily got home.
She decided to have a shower to freshen up. She turned the water up to scalding,she has never been able to get it hot enough,the cold always seeping into her bones no matter how much her skin burns.
As she dropped her clothes to the floor,a small piece of lined paper fell next to them. It looked like it had been hastily ripped out of a notebook. On it was a simple note:
'don't give up
you might be surprised.
