Kali tilted her head up to the brilliant sunshine and luxuriated in the heat soaking into her face and bare shoulders. The sky was a brilliant blue with a few dazzlingly white cotton ball clouds and Kali smiled with her eyes closed while the sounds of the crowd passing by swirled around her.
Kali stood motionless, eyes closed and face tilted up for minutes, letting the heat soak into her body before finally someone brushed against her to break the spell.
"Excuse me," a bland, uninterested voice said as a man in slacks and light blue office shirt walked past without even a glance behind.
Kali watched him blend into the crowd and disappear before starting to follow, her slow steps forcing the crowd to flow around her while she looked from face to face. She could feel the rough, biting texture of the concrete and sting of heat against her bare feet as she singled out a woman with an oval face, long blond dreadlocks and brown eyes. A glint of silver sparkled from a stud in the woman's nose while the dark black circles of the gauges in her ears drew the eye. The woman passed by without a glance and Kali's eyes found a man walking towards her.
The man was so much taller than Kali's petite five foot one, a veritable giant well over six foot with a square jaw covered in dark stubble, his nose slightly crocked as if from an old break with eyes so dark as to appear as black as his neatly cut hair. Kali's heart raced at the silken feel of her dress slipping across bare skin, grazing against nipples made vulnerable without a bra, and wondered what he thought as his eyes found hers for the briefest of moments before being swept past.
Kali glanced down at her sundress, a bare scrap of almost translucent bright yellow cloth that left her upper chest and even the slight swell of her modest B cup breasts exposed and was just barely long enough to conceal her sex.
As long as there wasn't a stray breeze and she didn't move fast.
Kali looked up to see a couple walking towards her hand in hand, both close to the same height, both with the fitness of youth, the woman with long, flowing blond hair and upturned nose, the man with red hair that would do a Weasley proud. The woman caught Kali's look and smiled before leaning towards her companion for a whispered word. Kali suddenly found herself staring into his blue eyes as the couple passed by, his smile while the woman bit her lower lip sending tingles through Kali's stomach that had nothing to do with the caress of the warm breeze beneath her dress.
More people flowed around her as she walked slowly along the sidewalk, the sensation in her stomach centering her attention on the occasional caress of cloth and the warm breeze stroking the moist petals of her flower.
Kali felt her face flush with the secrete, sensual pleasure of those hidden caresses, felt her heart quicken as her pleasure built and then saw a woman a dozen steps ahead sitting on the low stone wall that lined the sidewalk staring at her.
The woman had the same upturned almond shaped eyes and epicanthic folds as Kali, the same dark eyes and long, silken black hair that came down past her shoulders. The woman smiled and tilted her head to watch Kali approach, Kali's eyes drawn to the athletic shorts and sports bra that left the woman's toned, flat stomach bare. Diamonds glinted at the woman's navel from a silver barbell as well as from a charm bracelet on her ankle. The woman's feet were just as bare as Kali's and she stood up the moment Kali swerved to meet her.
"Hi," the woman said in a furry contralto that let even more butterflies loose in Kali's stomach.
