The next morning when Penny got up she had voice mail about the second bedroom. As she listened to it she jotted down notes about the caller. It was a woman named Laura who said she saw the flyer in the lobby on her way to work and was currently looking for a place closer to the downtown area. When Penny called her back they spoke for a few minutes and agreed to grab lunch together today and get to know each other and discuss the living situation.
At lunch time Penny waited down in the lobby for Laura. She was the only one there thankfully so Laura would be able to find her without any trouble. To pass the time Penny read the globe and mail on her phone. Before she got half way through the first article someone tapped her on the shoulder. Penny looked up and was surprised to see the mystery elevator woman from the day before.
“Hi, I’m Laura. Are you Penny?” she asked.
“Yes! Hi! Sorry!” Penny stuttered. Words seemed to be escaping her at the moment… was this actually happening?
Laura chuckled and said, “What are you apologising for?”
Penny thought of the previous evening’s fantasy and blushed but just laughed and shook her head. Over lunch they got to know each other and had a great time. They had similar interests and had similar lifestyles. By the end of the lunch Penny had no doubt that Laura would make a great roommate. They agreed that Laura would move in at the beginning of the next month which gave Penny about three weeks to clean out her second bedroom.
At the end of the lunch they walked back to the office together and rode the elevator up. Since Penny’s office was on the top floor Laura got off the elevator first. Before she stepped off she turned to Penny and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Thanks for meeting me for lunch! I had a great time getting to know you and I think living together will be a blast. I can’t wait!”
As Laura hopped off the elevator Penny inhaled the scent of her perfume and wondered if living with Laura was really a smart idea. She hadn’t mentioned to Laura over lunch that she was gay because it never came up and it wasn’t really any of her business. But at the same time Penny was so attracted to Laura that if Laura ever found out it could make her very uncomfortable.
What the hell thought Penny. She would just have to keep it in her pants!
Over the next three weeks Laura moved into the second bedroom. After checking with Penny, she painted it; three walls were a light blue and one wall was painted a metallically copper. At first Penny wasn’t sure that she wanted the bedroom with such a bright colour but she wanted Laura to feel at home so she agreed. Plus, it was just paint and could be covered up. After it was finished Penny peaked in the room because it was still empty. It looked fantastic! The natural light caught the copper wall and made it dance just a little.
Two weeks later Laura was officially out of her old apartment and moved in with Penny. At first Penny had a hard time adjusting to the second body in the house, especially one as attractive as Laura but she found that after the first week she had no problem keeping her cool and not making her guest feel weird.
One night about two months after Laura moved in Penny was feeling quite sore from her work out the previous morning. She ran a hot bath and added some rhubarb bubbles that filled the bathroom with their scent. She grabbed the candle from her room and after lighting it, placed it on the ledge of the bathtub. Looking in the mirror she slowly undid the tie on her robe and slid out of it. She examined her chocolate coloured skin for a moment before using a hair tie to put her long curly hair in a knot on the top of her head in order to save it from the water. The chocolate brown eyes in the mirror stared back at her and the slightly crooked upturn of the corner of her lips made her look as if she knew something that everyone else didn’t.
Penny climbed into the tub and sank down into the bubbles. The hot water burned a little on sensitive areas like the back of her knees and lower abdomen but after a moment that was gone. She leaned back and closed her eyes and concentrated on her breathing. It was Friday and Laura was out. Her work week felt like it had run her over and she was looking forward to just relaxing. Her fingers absentmindedly trailed over her tummy and on to her right breast. They pinched her nipple hard enough for it to hurt but soft enough that she didn’t want it to stop. She moaned softly and as her hand moved to her left breast and did the same thing she arched her back a little.
Fully turned on Penny pulled the plug on the tub and hoped out. She grabbed her enormous fluffy towel from the rack and dried off. After putting her robe back on she blew out the candle and came out of the bathroom intending to make a straight beeline to her vibrator. When she emerged from the bathroom she saw Laura sitting on the couch.
I guess I will just have to settle for my fingers tonight thought Penny. Oh well.
“Hey I thought you had plans tonight,” said Penny.
“Oh, I did but my date cancelled. She texted me this morning and said she just didn’t feel any spark with me,” replied Laura, who was obviously a bit bummed. “I guess that is fair though,” she said, “there is another girl I have my eye on but I don’t know if she is into girls or would be into me.”
Oh snap! She is into ladies thought Penny. But she had feelings for someone which is a bit of a bummer. “Honestly Laura, you are crazy funny and can actually hold a conversation which is more than I can say about some of the women I’ve dated. Plus, I mean, have you looked in a mirror? I’m sure if you ask this girl out her answer would most defiantly be yes.”
Laura’s eyes looked up to meet Penny’s. “You’re gay?” she asked, blushing.
“Heck yes!” Penny laughed. She was in the kitchen pouring a glass of wine. She was still so turned on but this conversation was going way differently than she had expected and she wanted to hear the rest of Laura’s story. “Boobs are fantastic.”
