As usual Katherine was running late for her bus.
Oh well, luckily her boss didn't care if she was late, as long as she met her deadlines. Her work as a newspaper reporter meant she spent a lot of time out of the office anyway.
She checked her email one last time before heading out. Once glance at the message told her she was going to miss her bus:
"Aunty Kathy, I need to talk to you"
It was from her favourite niece, Becky.
Becky was a lost soul, of sorts.
Two years ago, at 19, Becky had confided to her that she was struggling with her sexuality, and like her aunty, was attracted to women.
Katherine and Becky's prim and proper mother, Joanne, had thought it a phase Becky would grow out of. She would meet a boy, fall in love and be miserable like the rest of us!
But that didn't happen, and now Becky wanted to talk.
"Can I come and visit you this summer?" The email read, so things were clearly not working out at home, thought Katherine.
Katherine hadn't seen her niece for nearly 12 months and in that time she had blossomed into a lovely looking young woman; not yet in her prime but heading towards it she thought.
The two women were very different, physically. Katherine thought of herself as a very plain 40 something girl next door type. Attractive enough in a homely way, but not the sort of woman men lined up to date. She preferred women anyway.
But her niece always referred to her as the "hot" aunty and had a massive crush on her.
The photos that Becky sent always showed her in a happy carefree way. Her dark flowing hair falling onto her shoulders nicely distracting from what looked like a fully developed bosom and attractive figure.
But Katherine had misgivings about her niece coming to visit.
To start with, the spare room was being redecorated and there would only be Katherine's bed to sleep in for the first week.
But, more importantly, Katherine had been fighting for a long time a growing physical attraction towards her niece.
