I woke up that morning not knowing what would unfold that day. It was just a standard day. Woke the kids up, fed them breakfast, drove them to school and then I got myself ready to meet an old friend for lunch.
A few weeks earlier I had received an email that completely caught me off guard. I could not believe it! It was from Rowan, my best friend from high school. We had been very close for several years, but as often is the case, we went to different Universities and just drifted apart. As it turns out, she had found my email address in our high school reunion registry and had emailed me right away. She asked me to meet with her again. With a few reservations, I agreed.
We had spent so much time together when we were young; playing music and talking for hours on end about life, poetry, and of course, who would be our first lovers. Although I was very outgoing and friendly, I tended to be a little too outspoken for boys my age and thought I would never find a guy that would not be intimidated by me. She on the other hand was quiet, but incredibly clever and funny. Her fear was that she would never find the courage to not only meet someone, but make love to them. I always reassured her that one day she would find her confidence and all her fears would disappear. I guess we were such good friends because we each had different strengths and we complimented one another. We really cared for and looked out for each other.
If the truth now be told, I had a serious friend crush on her. She was so beautiful. She had very petite features, long black hair, and delicious, full lips. She was smaller than me, but then I was quite tall with a figure that could only be described as curvaceous. I felt very chubby and awkward back then, but years later I grew to appreciate those womanly curves, as did my lovers. I found that men quite enjoyed my full breasts and delightfully round bottom. One of my lovers once described me as having a "Victorian figure" and even bought me a corset to wear for him, which I happily obliged.
I remember she had taken a long time to blossom and was very insecure about her body as well, but she didn't need to be. I often fantasized about kissing her, touching her, tasting her; and on many occasions it was those thoughts I would turn to when I was pleasuring myself in bed at night. I wished that she would be my first lover and I just had to work up the courage to tell her. I was pretty sure that I was straight.
I really liked boys and I fantasized about fucking them all the time; but Rowan was special. I had always been attracted to funny, intelligent people. Even in University it was the men who challenged me intellectually that I usually wanted to fuck the most. She was a thinker, a philosopher, a poet. She was an old soul. I couldn't help but desire her.
I remember on one occasion, we had both just turned 18, she had spent the night at my house. We had just come back from a high school semi-formal and we were both keyed up and giddy. We had met up with two guys from school, and before we went into the dance, they had offered us some pot. Although we were very nervous about trying it we decided to give it a go. It was fantastic. Both of us felt so relaxed and we laughed at everything. I even discovered that night, that not only did pot make me feel incredibly ramped up, it also took away most of my inhibitions.
We flirted with those two boys on the dance floor and teased them most of the evening until we were all pretty worked up. I remember during one slow dance I felt his erection pressing against me and it took every ounce of self-control I had to not rub myself up against him. It was new and strangely exciting.
The boys walked us home from the dance and we stopped in the park to chat for a bit. Rowan was unusually talkative and carried most of the conversation. I could not take my eyes off of her. She was so charming and charismatic that night. Her hair curled up just slightly around her face from the moisture, and her beautiful green eyes were dazzling. One of the boys suggested we play a game of truth or dare. My eyes met Rowan's and we both giggled. We thought it would be fun to play. Rowan went first and asked the boy I was with if he wanted truth or dare. He picked dare so she asked him to kiss me for at least 20 seconds, and he had to use tongue. Although I was embarrassed, I was also very anxious to kiss him. He acted goofy for a few minutes and then Rowan said if he didn't cowboy up, we were going home. He finally put his arms around me and brought his mouth to mine. His lips were soft and tentative and I could tell that this was probably his first kiss too. I felt a spontaneous jolt of heat between my legs. My mouth parted slightly and he gently eased his tongue in my mouth. I wanted more but I felt a sense of propriety that made me hold back. The kiss ended as quickly as it started.
He took his turn and picked Rowan. She picked dare and I think we both thought he would dare her to kiss her date. He didn't. Instead he dared her to kiss me and we had to use tongues too. She looked up at me timidly and smiled. I pretended that he was a twisted pervert and we both giggled some more. Both boys taunted us and called us chickens. I said we would kiss if they would go next; they both said forget it, at the same time. This made us all laugh. Rowan suggested we just get it over with and I agreed.
She came over to me and put her hands on my face, gently pulling me near. I was breathless with anticipation. Her scent permeated the air, intoxicating me. I could barely contain my exhilaration. Her warm lips touched mine and I immediately felt a fresh gush of cream between my legs. I wanted to pull her close and massage my hands all over her lovely body. I wanted my lips to travel over every delicate inch of her skin. She parted her lips and my tongue teased hers. Her kiss made me so hot I was afraid I would not be able to hold back. She pulled away, smiling at me. Before she turned away, she tenderly ran her fingers down the side of my face and then tucked a curl of my auburn hair gently behind my ear. It was a very intimate gesture that told me we would be ok. The boys stood in front of us with their mouths open and we laughed at them. They agreed it was the hottest thing they had ever seen.
