TIFFANY Ch. 01

"I suppose you are wondering why I brought you here."

"Well yes Tiff it's obvious that we are not going off for the weekend so I think you need to come clean."

Again I thought she was going to cry but then shaking her head she put a brave front on and began to talk.

"Listen Jazz you must have seen how shy I am around most people. But with you it seems different because although it is still difficult I can talk to you. I am nineteen and I have never had a boyfriend or even gone out with a boy for an evening."

"Have you got a girlfriend or at least gone out with a girl? Maybe you like girls more than you like boys."

"You are the first person I have ever gone out with. Yes, Ronnie once tried to say something but she makes me nervous. She seems so intense."

"Yes she is intense and I agree she is not the right person for you. She is into strong almost masculine women. She is an old school friend of mine and that is all."

Taking her hand in mine I looked intently into her eyes. Like everything else about her they were beautiful. Big wide green eyes looking out from under dirty blond brows. I felt my nipples tighten.

"Look Tiff I think you need to tell me more about yourself. You know, your family, where you went to school, what you enjoy doing. All that sort of stuff."

Tiff just sat there trying to talk but nothing would come out. She reminded me of a fish out of water.

"Listen Tiff I am your friend, okay?"

Again nothing.

"Tiff many years ago I was read a poem, don't ask me who wrote it; but the thing is it really Impressed me and I committed it to memory. Let me share it with you. It's titled Friends."

"A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives

with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in

a better and happier place."

Again she paused and again I felt that she was going to cry but then she began to speak quietly. "I am an orphan; I don't know who my parents were. You see the nuns found me on the Cathedral steps, I was about three days old."

Hearing this my heart went out to her and I slid my arm around her shoulders just holding her trying to give her confidence. At first I thought she was going to shuck out of it but then she settled back and continued.

"I was educated by the Nuns and so I am a Catholic. For some reason I could never make friends with the other orphans, I have always been shy and tongue tied. Again you are the first person I have ever been confident to speak with. On weekends and holidays I enjoyed spending time in the garden looking at the flowers and insects. I love trees and water so when I left the orphanage I decided to get into bushwalking. All my walks had been alone until I met Ronnie. She talked me into joining the Hiking Club but I am so shy I really have no friends. Ronnie has come on two hikes with me but I never feel at ease with her."

"So how did you meet Ronnie?"

"It was late last year just after my eighteenth birthday. I met her in a music shop and I don't know she just wanted to talk and she told me about you. She suggested that when you got back from Europe she would introduce us. As you can imagine I was terrified."

"That sounds like Ronnie."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh nothing it's just that she was over at my house the other evening and I asked her where she had met you. She told me in the Botanic Gardens. But that's Ronnie she loves to ave her little intrigues."

"So it was Ronnie who invited you to that party?'

"No I went there with people from work, we had decided it would be a good place to celebrate the New Year. I was about to leave when you came in. I saw you stop and look at me and for some reason I felt comfortable with it. It was when the girls from work dragged me off to the fireworks that I met Ronnie and she told me that she was going to introduce you to me."

For a time, I simply sat looking into her eyes. This beautiful woman had given me so much to think about and then I was snapped out of my reverie.

"Are you thinking about my sexual experience? The Nuns gave us talks about sex education but as you can imagine it was all rather vague and of course I was too shy to ask questions. Then another orphan left on the same day and we took a small two room apartment together. She then went off and met up with this guy and I have lost touch with her. As for me I was so shy and also I was not attracted to boys or girls for that matter. I simply existed for myself."

"So do you masturbate?"

"Oh God no we were told that it was a sin and that terrible things happen to people who do it."

"Sounds like a religious argument. Anyway please continue you fascinate me."

"There is not much more to tell. As I have said you are the first person I have ever gone out with and you are the first person I have ever spoken with other than at work."

"You know that Ronnie is a lesbian."

"Yes."

"Did she tell you about me?"

"Oh yes she has told me all about your adventures."

"Has she told you about the affair that broke my heart."

"Not really but she has told me that you are in between ... whatever she means by that."

"Listen Tiff I am also a lesbian, does that worry you?"

"No it doesn't because I really like you. You give me confidence and that is something no one has ever done before."

"Tiff look at me. Her name was Felicity and I met her here in this cave. I had come in to think and she simply walked in. We got talking and the following weekend we made love. All went well ..." Beginning to cry, I felt Tiff hug me.

"Oh Jazz I am so, ... so sorry. You should have said that you didn't want to come here."

"No Tiff it doesn't matter I did think about it but decided that it was time to break out and start a new life. Ronnie was right ... we are good for each other. Now how about we return to the car and drive home. Let's go out to a restaurant and maybe kick on to a nightclub or something."

"I can't go to a restaurant because these are the only clothes I have. You see I have never wanted to attract attention to myself."

"Don't worry Tiff I am quite well off so let's go and buy you a new outfit. Something that does make people look at you because you are a very beautiful woman: but don't worry I am the one who is attracted to you so all is well. Now come on my shy little mouse let's make tracks. You don't know how good you are for me. So forget your shyness and let's paint the town red tonight."

Later that afternoon Tiff walked into my lounge room. She was wearing her new outfit, a light floral frock with a sexy white blouse thigh highs and shoes rather than hiking boots. I stopped stunned with her beauty, I couldn't speak in fact I couldn't breathe, I simply stared at this incredible vision before me. She had washed her hair and taken time combing it allowing it to flow across her slim shoulders masking her tiny breasts. I smiled to myself when I remembered Ronnie telling me that she had small tits, she knows me so well.

"My God Tiff you are really an eye turner aren't you? Come on baby let's take a cab to the restaurant it means that we can be naughty and drink what we like. You can sleep in the spare room tonight so don't worry about having to drive."

After a quiet meal at a swanky restaurant Jazz took Tiff to a night club at the other end of town. "I haven't been in this club since the Felicity days. While you were in the shower I booked a private booth this way we are away from the public eye. I thought you would prefer it like that."

Leading the way through the crowded and smoky public lounge Jazz led Tiff into a quieter area where there were secluded tables looking onto a small stage where a blues band was performing. Sitting opposite her, Jazz observed Tiff looking around at other patrons.

"It's a lesbian night club. It's very upper class and the private area is the only place that I would frequent in this city. Never go to the Public area because you don't know who you will meet or what will happen. Kidnapping has been known to take place there."

"Ordering drinks they sat listening to the music in silence. Do you like this kind of music?"

"Yes. There was a teacher who would visit the orphanage once a fortnight and give music lessons. I was too shy to play an instrument but I loved the lessons especially when Jazz and Blues was being played. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy CDs so I miss out these days."

"Where do you live?"

"The orphanage owns a small block of two room apartments and I am renting one of these. It's not far from the orphanage but the only proviso is that I attend Mass twice a week, it is so boring, I never enjoyed the classes on religion but the only other option is to remain living at the orphanage. They provide work for those people but because I am so shy I wouldn't be teaching, they offered me a position in the laundry instead. So I am better off where I am."

"You have seen how big my place is: how about we give it a fortnight and then you move in with me. You will have your own room and the rent would be almost the same. Just a thought for now."

The blues band took a break and a second band playing light dance music began to play. "Hey Tiff would you like to dance?"

"Oh no I would be so embarrassed, I am terrible at dancing."

"Don't be silly I will lead and you follow. Come on."

Pulling her reluctantly to her feet Jazz led Tiff onto the dance floor. At first Tiff was so nervous that she moved more like a puppet but slowly with Jazz's lead she began to relax and even surprised herself. The next number was much slower and maneuvering Tiff closer in to her they danced while looking into each other's eyes and after the third number Jazz led her back to their table and ordering a fresh round of drinks settled back listening to the music as she looked into the beautiful expressive eyes of the woman that she was now finding deeper feelings for.

"You seem to be leading me into so many new places. The last time I wore a dress was at the orphanage and it was a simple smock then you take me to a restaurant. I have never eaten in one of those before. I usually buy cheap fast food or cook a bit of rice and vegetables at home. Now here I am at a night club and a lesbian one at that. I wonder what the nuns would think. As for dancing I have only watched that on television and DVDs. I think I would really like to move in with you. Ronnie was right when she said you were perfect for me."

"I know what you are saying Tiff because Ronnie said the same to me. She is so annoying that way. She is always right and unfortunately she knows it. Ever since seeing you at the bar I have been debating with myself, asking if I really wanted to get closer to you. The answer has always been yes and now there is no argument at all because I know that I want to see where we can take this."

"Are you suggesting that you love me?"

"No Tiff not yet and when or if that ever happens we will both feel it. What I am saying is that you are more than just a friend. Would you consider moving into the apartment with me tomorrow? How long should you give notice to the nuns?"

"It doesn't matter they will easily place someone else into it and secondly they will be so happy that I have finally moved on. Yes, I want to move over tomorrow morning although there is nothing much to bring over."

Taking Tiff's hand Jazz sat looking intently into her eyes. Lifting her hand to her lips she looked into Tiffs eyes as she kissed the fingers of her hand. "WOW Tiff you didn't even blush."

"No it's because I am feeling very comfortable in your company. Shall we go home because tomorrow is going to be busy and we have also had a very active day to day."

Tiff stood and this time it was her that took Jazz's hand as they walked through the crowded club. Jazz smiled to herself as she noticed various women giving her envious stares. Leading her proudly to her late model Audi Jazz opened the passenger door. Arriving home, she showed Tiff where everything was and hugging her said good night.

The following morning Jazz woke to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and toast. "Oh WOW what have I done to deserve this?"

"Nothing really. It's just you being you."

"Tiff I think sometime today we are going to have a little talk because I have a feeling that there may be something more than friendship developing in your thoughts."

"I am feeling something but I don't understand it. Jazz I am beginning to feel so nervous again. What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong Tiff everything is right but you don't understand it that's all. I think after we have moved you over here we should sit down and talk about it. I don't want to rush things so you need to be patient. As you have said yourself your sex education was rather modified. So we go softly, softly okay?'

Blushing furiously Tiff turned back for a second cup of coffee. "I feel so comfortable with you Jazz."

"Okay baby let's get dressed and start the day. I suppose we should drive to your place and clean out and then do you need to visit the orphanage?

"Yes I should do that but you should wait outside okay?'

At one thirty Tiff and I finally sat down and over a cool drink began to think about her little problem.

"Tiff I know that you were feeling something this morning and I know that you don't understand what is happening. Right?"

"Yes Jazz this morning I felt this warm fuzzy kind of feeling suddenly coarse through me. Even my breasts felt it and my thong felt as though I had wet myself."

"Oh fuck you have got it bad. Darling you suddenly felt a sexual attraction to me. It is natural for your breasts to swell and your pussy to get wet."

"But it was so embarrassing."

"No darling you shouldn't be embarrassed because it is natural. Look earlier I told you that we need to take things softly, softly so that is how we are going to take it. Over the next week or so I am going to slowly lead you into it. Okay?"

"I don't understand."

"Listen Tiff you are so nervous and so easily embarrassed so I want to take it slowly. I could simply pick you up and take you to my bed and make wild passionate love to you. For you the result could be disastrous and we don't want that to happen. Okay?'

"Oh thank you." Tiff surprised me by leaning in and kissing me on my forehead.

"Let's start with kissing okay?" Not waiting for a response I took her head in my hands and slowly kissed her lips. It was not an open kiss just the lightest of kisses to her beautiful lips. I have not described her lips before but they really are perfect. They are full, soft lips that when you look at her they define her face perfectly. So I brushed my thinner lips across her sensual lips. Sitting back I asked her how it felt and she said that she felt it was nice.

"Listen Tiff that kiss was something that lovers only use to start things off. That kiss was not a loving or passionate kiss. They are different. Would you like to try now?"

Looking into her eyes I saw that she was respective to the idea so again I took her head in my hands but this time I opened my mouth and kissed down onto her lips. Sliding my tongue across her closed lips I slowly worked it into her mouth and holding it for a moment slowly withdrew and again sat back. Why don't you try to respond with your open mouth and allow your tongue to play across mine? Let's try shall we?"

This time when I kissed her she opened her mouth and let her tongue slide into my mouth. We kissed like this for a few minutes and then again I sat back. "That is called French kissing and it is usually the lead into expressing your love for another person. Let's leave it now but we will return to it later this evening. Okay."

"The nuns never told us anything about this."

"Darling this is something that you needed to discover for yourself. Maybe if you hadn't been so shy you would have heard what other girls we talking about. Anyway we are going down the right path now so be patient and we will slowly take it further. Maybe we should go away to romantic places on the weekends and use the environment to help. Would you like that?"

"Oh yes it would be lovely maybe we could camp behind the waterfall one weekend."

"Yes I suppose so but remember that is where I met Felicity. She simply rocked in and I was there naked just as she was. I don't think you would want to be in their French kissing and someone walks in on us. It would be fine with me but I can imagine your embarrassment."

"Yes I had not thought of that. So where do we go?"

"I have access to a large motor boat, we can sleep on board and cook our meals. It is completely self-contained. I am suggesting we take it out on the bay and anchor in some quiet cove for a couple of days, there are literally hundreds of coves around the bay so we can go to a different one each weekend. We could even anchor at a small deserted island and pitch our tent. So shall we make that a plan?"

Tiff came up to me and gave me a big open kiss allowing her shy tongue to lick across my lips.

"I gather that is a yes darling. So tell me do you get the weekends off at work or do we need to plan a mid-week break."

"It depends, during the holidays the weekends are frantic and I am usually rostered on but at the moment I get Sunday and Monday off work."

"Okay so I will book the boat for two days' time. Let's go out and grab some lunch. Then we come back here and veg out for a bit. It has been a full on morning and I am tired so I imagine you must also be feeling weary."
