Guilt
Unable to reconcile Mandy being the focus of my lust, I decided to try and push that guilt to one side and deal with it some other time.
My long-hidden lesbian feelings had resurfaced.
The only person close I felt suitable to discuss this subject with was Mandy, so I called her.
"I want to talk to you about a problem I am having with relationships and my feelings."
"That sounds intriguing, is it anyone I know?"
"I have no one else I trust and can talk to, when can we meet?"
"I will come over tomorrow if that is alright. John is playing golf, I can tell you more about America and fix up your visit to see us."
She excitedly replied.
We made our arrangements and said our goodbyes.
Mandy was a wonderful young woman, much in the mould of her father, and from what Bill had told me about her mother, Sophia's impetuous streak. He had lost Sophia to cancer when Mandy was just five years old.
Bill and I brought up Mandy.
We encouraged her to be confident, self-motivated and studious. She inherited her stunning looks from her Mother.
My mobile alerted me to a call from Lisi, which I answered, unlike the previous two calls I had avoided earlier.
"Hi, Lisi, how are you?"
"Oh, I am great, was getting worried I had upset you or you were ill as I had called earlier with no answer. Are you alright?"
"Never better. I have a lot to mull over and a lot going on, I wanted to have one of those idle days with my thoughts. I have just retrieved my mobile from my bedroom to call Mandy, so I have just seen the missed calls. I am sorry to worry you but I am fine."
"Mandy is going to America for six months with her husband John for his work.
I encouraged her to go. It will be good for her. She is coming to visit me, will you be in tomorrow? I would love you to meet her."
After a short silence, Lisi replied.
"I will be at home all day Eli. I would love to meet Mandy. Just call me and let me know just before you set off."
"See you tomorrow, bye Lisi and thank you for an exciting, interesting, enjoyable day yesterday."
"Exciting? My maxim is, to never overthink things, go with your instincts and never worry about things out of your control. Bye-bye Eliza, sleep well."
"Good night, Lisi darling."
Did I say, darling?
I went to bed, still wearing her sexy thong and bra. The panties were sticky from my constant turned-on state and needed washing, and so did I.
I was soon lost in my lust-induced masturbation thinking about the closeness of Lisi yesterday, the sexual tension in her bedroom, her touch, her pouty pussy, holding her breasts, imagining going further and wanting to.
Rubbing vigorously at my wet slippy pussy, I savoured my fantasy-induced climax with force, imagining Lisi rubbing her tight naked body on me.
I slept well again but woke at my usual time, Seven Thirty a.m. Once more, I felt guilty about my lesbian fantasies.
I showered, noticing the sensitivity of my nipples and my self-abused pussy.
After showering, I washed the bra and thong carefully by hand, imagining Lisi wearing them, her boobs and pussy visible through the transparent material, and hung them over the shower to dry.
Surprised by my hunger, I prepared and ate, ravenously, the favourite breakfast of my late husband.
After a full English breakfast of local produce, feeling pleasantly full, I went for a brisk walk along the seafront with my camera slung over my shoulder. I walked as far as the shell sculpture on the beach.
I captured various images and observed the fishing boats, other walkers, families, cyclists and dog walkers.
On my return, I tidied up the lounge and sat on the sofa with a magazine, more relaxed than I had been for a while.
Mandy arrived, let herself into the cottage with her key and called out to me.
"Hi Mommy."
We met in the hall, embraced, kissed cheeks, smiled at each other and went into the lounge.
I made us tea, and we sat together on the sofa.
I told her I had made a friend in the town called Lisi and suggested we visit her later.
I enquired about John, and Mandy exclaimed excitedly.
"John is so excited about America and his new job, it means lots more money, we leave in four weeks, so much to do and arrange.
I have given my notice at work.
We both have some leave owing so we can have a week off together to do things for the trip, I need some lightweight clothes and bikinis, as we will be living in California."
She came up for breath, so I managed to offer any help they wanted and to go shopping.
"If its is OK with you, I want to stop here tonight. I have to get my overnight bag and move the car as I managed to park in the High Street."
"I will book a table at the White Swan for eight p.m., No cooking for us tonight."
I went with Mandy to get her bag and returned to the cottage with it while she parked the car elsewhere.
I called and booked a table for dinner.
On her return, we went upstairs, taking her bag.
"I will make up the bed for you."
"Mommy, I will slip in with you, we can have girly night, like when Dad was away on trips from home."
I opened my bedroom door to put in her overnight bag. I noticed the embarrassing, messy, unmade bed.
My self-satisfying sexual exertions over the last few hours had left the sheets in knots and covers strewn on the floor.
I tidied the room and made the bed as Mandy watched from the doorway with a bemused look that conveyed her surprise that my usually pristine bedroom was not just so.
I looked at Mandy, smiled weakly and shrugged.
"I have had a couple of strange, busy few days and I need your advice."
I sat on the side of the bed and patted it, indicating I wanted Mandy to sit.
I took her hand and took a deep breath.
"I love you. As my daughter, I would never want to upset you.''
Mandy looked at me nervously.
''I loved your Dad more than anything in the world. We had a great marriage. I still love his memory.
I have been having thoughts and feelings. I miss companionship, being needed, loved in an emotional and sexual sense and wanted sexually.
I have sexual needs and want someone to cuddle in bed.
I am embarrassed to say I even find my urges have me looking at women that way."
I had admitted to my daughter my attraction to women.
Mandy's eyes welled up.
I held her hand and attempted to reassure her.
"Sweetie, do not get upset, nothing has changed, my needs and sexual and emotional feelings have surfaced, that is all."
