Falling for Change Read online

  Blue laughed and smacked Becca’s arm, “Alright Romeo, calm down.”

  “What are you ladies doing the rest of the day?” Becca asked as she shoved Blue out of her way lying down next to me.

  “I was thinking I’d stay out here for another couple of hours. I haven’t done my front yet.”

  “I could help you with that. I mean if Blue isn’t up to the task.” Becca grinned.

  “I meant tanning my front. Not that it matters but Blue has been extremely sufficient in that department.” Blue grinned as she got up and lay down on the other side of me.

  “Anyways, I need to go home after that. Larry gets upset with me if I’m gone for too long.”

  Becca looked at me one eyebrow arched, “Larry? I thought you guys were an item now. What’s going on?” She looked at Blue.

  “Larry is her dog Becca. Jeez. Get a grip.” Blue closed her eyes to the sun lying on her back and effectively ending the conversation.

  The three of us laid on our backs soaking up the sun for the next couple hours, mostly in silence. As I lay there I thought about how I was going to come out to my family.

  “Maybe I could talk to Phoebe and we could go on a double date together sometime soon.” I suggested as I was getting into my car to leave.

  “You know it’s a full moon in eight days. We’ll have to do it before then. How about Wednesday night? We can do it here. Blue is an excellent cook.” Becca twisted a lock of her hair.

  “That sounds fine with me. As long as Phoebe agrees.” Blue gave me a kiss on the cheek, “Be careful on your way home. Talk to you soon.”

  On my drive home I thought about how to convince Phoebe this was a good idea. What did she mean by the full moon? That was weird. Maybe she’s superstitious or something. Oh well. I’d have to remember to ask Blue about that. When I got home Phoebe was with Larry in my apartment so I decided to just bite the bullet.

  “Where have you been young lady?” Phoebe asked in her best motherly voice. “I’ve been waiting up for you all night.”

  “Ya right. Did you guys have fun together? Hmm Larry?” He put his paws up on my chest and licked my cheek tail wagging.

  “Sooo? How was it? Was it mind blowing? The best you’ve ever had? Do I owe her a toaster?” I laughed at her enthusiasm and at how much she acted just like Becca.

  Grinning I said, “It was all of the above all weekend long. You know Becca already agreed to get Blue a toaster so you don’t have to.”

  “Whose Becca? Are you into some weird shit here? Anita. Tell me.” The smile had left Phoebe’s face and she now looked like she was ready to take on the world for me.

  “Becca is Blue’s sister and I’m laughing now because the two of you are so much alike.”

  “You mean we’re both beautiful woman who love puppies and Sunday strolls through the park?” She ruffled Larry’s ears and batted her eyelashes.

  “No I mean you both sleep with a different woman every night but are overly protective when it comes to the ones you love. Speaking of love, Blue and I want you and Becca to come out on a double date with us Wednesday night. Can your players schedule manage that? Before you say no we’d just be going to Blue’s house. Apparently she’s an excellent cook and she has a beautiful cabin in the woods. We’ll hang out for a few hours, eat dinner, have some drinks and go home. What do you say?” I gave her the puppy dog eyes.

  “Hmmm. What’s this Becca look like? Oh and by the way your mother called earlier and last night. I told her last night you were out with your girlfriend and I was babysitting Larry.”

  “Shit. What did you tell her this morning?” I was panicking.

  “Chill. I’m kidding I let the machine get it. But you probably should just call and tell her and let the fall out begin.” She laughed at me shaking her head.

  “You. Are. An. Ass.” I punctuated each word, “Just for that you no longer get the details and you will be attending. Now sit here with me while I call my mother and explain to her how her perfect only daughter loves twat.”

  Chapter 13 (Coming Out)

  “So you haven’t told her yet have you?” Becca had come over early for our dinner date.

  She said it was supposedly to help me cook, which was why we were now standing in my kitchen. But I knew it was to give me a hard time because I was doing all the cooking so far and she was standing next to me getting in the way.

  “No I haven’t told her yet. Put that chicken in the marinade would you.” I tried to change the subject.

  “Well if you’re serious about her you are going to have to tell her. Does she want kids? If so you are going to have to have at least one of them. That’s how the bloodline works. The wolf gene gets passed down through the mother. You know that. Plus she’s going to think it’s awfully weird that every full moon you change into a wolf and run wild through the forest. I’d assume that eventually she’d catch on and realize you weren’t coming home until the morning once a month if nothing else.”

  “Dammit Becca, I know. I just don’t really know how to tell her. And I’m worried she’s going to freak out.” I sighed and started to cut up vegetables for the grill.

  “She probably will be a little freaked but if you wait much longer you’ll be breaking her trust. Then you’ll have a world of hurt coming down on you.” Becca finally started dropping chunks of chicken into the bowl with the teriyaki marinade.

  “My plan is to tell her this week before the full moon.” A knock at the door stopped me mid thought.

  Becca looked at me pointedly and gave a nod of her head, like I told you so. As she walked to the front door I took a deep breath to calm my nerves remembering that there was no way Anita or Phoebe for that matter could have heard us because they don’t have sensitive ears like wolf changers. Larry made it to the kitchen before anyone else. Buddy got up wagging his tail and panting nudged Larry in the butt. I opened the sliding glass porch door and let them outside to run and play with each other. Anita walked into the kitchen giving me a kiss on the cheek. Phoebe came in on Becca’s arm right after.

  “I see you decided to bring Larry, I’m glad. Buddy needs a friend.” I leaned over and whispered to Anita, “ And I see Phoebe met my sister.”

  Becca continued towards the deck door, Phoebe walking right on by not even noticing us.

  “Good to see you too Phoebe. And I thought you were here to help me cook Bec…” I trailed off as she continued out onto the deck.

  “Don’t worry about those two. They’re perfect for each other. They act exactly the same way. It’ll be good for both of them to get a taste of their own medicine. Or maybe it’ll work out and we’ll have a couple to hang out with. Either way is good for me. So what are we having for dinner?” Anita wrapped her arms around my waste, “I’m starving,” she leaned up on her tiptoes to whisper in my ear, “how about a proper hello?”

  I looked down at her, taking her face in one hand and running the other up and down her back. Her hair was down framing her face and she had an adorable yellow baby doll tee on with faded blue jeans and boat shoes. Comfortable, was the first word that came to mind. She made me feel as comfortable as she looked. She closed her eyes and my whole body hummed. I could feel how much she wanted me to touch her. How much she missed me. I kissed her slowly, tampering her need. Anita pulled away slowly, “Mmmm,” She patted my belly, “Better. Do you need me to help with anything?”

  “Nope, everything is done. Just need to throw it on the grill. The chicken is in the marinade right there and the vegetables are wrapped in this tinfoil. Let’s go outside and see what trouble they’ve already caused.”

  We found them in a heated debate about the merits of real tits verse fake tits. Becca looked from me to Anita’s chest then back to me.

  “Back me up on this one Blue. The bigger the better right?” Becca held out her hands gesturing boobs big enough to float a school bus full of children to safety.

  I shook my head, “No way am I getting involved in this. Been there done that. It
’s a never-ending fight with Becca. It’s best to agree and move on.”

  “Well I do not agree in this instance size does not matter. If someone has a boob job her nipples aren’t sensitive anymore. So where’s the fun in playing with nipples that don’t bring pleasure. Isn’t that what it’s about giving pleasure or are you not any good at that?” Phoebe challenged Becca.

  “Why don’t you come home with me tonight and find out for yourself? Becca never one to be outdone grinned lasciviously.

  “Soo I told my mother I’m gay and I bought new shoes but I’m not sure I want to keep them.” Anita changed the subject.

  “When? How did it go?” I asked concerned.

  “Yesterday. Not sure I just think the shoes make my feet look big. I’ll probably return them.” Anita was looking down at her feet.

  “Oh was it those new yellow flats with the open toe? I thought those were cute. You’ll have to try them on for me.” Phoebe cooed.

  My head was turning side to side listening to this inane conversation. Anita had just told us all that she came out to her parents and they were acting like a new pair of shoes was more important. Women. Ugh.

  “Hello people?” I yelled looking at each of them individually. “I wasn’t talking about the shoes. I was talking about coming out to your mother. When did you do that and how did it go.” I asked exasperated.

  Anita looked up at me eyes wide in surprise at my outburst. “I thought that might have been what you were talking about. Well it went over like a whore in church. She freaked out. Told me that I was indecent and blamed herself for letting me be friends with Phoebe. Who as we all know must have been using her witchy lesbian powers to slowly turn me gay.”

  Phoebe crinkled her nose and twitched her fingers towards Anita. Winking at me she said, “You’re welcome.”

  Anita swatted at Phoebe. “I tried to explain to her that it was not in fact Phoebe’s doing and she insisted that I must be sick and not myself. Suggested I see a therapist and told me that I’d be cut out of the will if I didn’t marry a man. I reminded her that being gay is not really a choice but being a bigot is. I also reminded her that I have a trust fund that she can’t touch and has more money then I’d ever be able to spend in it. Oh ya and that I’m a veterinarian with my own thriving practice. She went on and on about what people would think of her if they knew then told me I was going to hell. Somewhere in the middle she started talking about how horrible I’d look with a buzz cut and how I didn’t have the figure for men’s clothing as if all lesbians have buzz cuts and wear men’s clothing. I explained to her that was not the case and in fact I had a wildly attractive girlfriend who was most certainly all woman and that I knew this because I’ve seen her naked while we have fantastic wild monkey sex. She of course fainted and my father picked up the phone. He asked what on earth we were talking about that would cause my mother to have a fainting spell over the phone. I told him I was gay and that he should throw a bucket of cold water on her. He laughed and then asked me if I was happy. I told him I’m happier than I’ve ever been and he congratulated me. He told me he’d work on her for me and then got off the phone. I’m pretty sure that’s everything right Phoebe?”

  I looked at Phoebe who shook her head, “Well everything except we never did find out if he dumped the bucket of water on her.” Phoebe laughed shaking her head.

  Becca was howling with laughter as I looked between Phoebe and Anita dumbfounded. “So it didn’t go over well?”

  Anita and Phoebe looked at each other then at me. Anita shook her head and started to laugh. “No it went over better than expected actually. Phoebe was with me making bets on how quickly she’d send over someone to abduct me and take me hostage to some kind of beat the gay out of you camp.”

  “No one has shown up yet. So I think we’re golden.” Phoebe said in a very serious tone.

  “It’ll be fine. She’ll either get over it or she won’t.” Anita shrugged.

  *****

  As the night wore down I noticed Phoebe and Becca getting closer. When Blue and I went into the kitchen to put the dishes in the dishwater I mentioned it to her.

  “Bet you ten bucks Phoebe and Becca go home with each other tonight.” Blue laughed.

  “Ten bucks? I think you can do better than that. Anyways, they’re too much a like for it to work. I’d never wager a bet on them sleeping together. Becca never passes up a chance for sex. But I would wager a bet that they don’t end up going out together another night. When I win. You my dear will be paying my in sexual favors.” Blue said with a straight face.

  “OK. I’ll take that bet. I think they have just enough chemistry to make it on at least one date. And when I win you’re taking me to the porn store and buying me one item of my choosing.” I winked.

  Blue’s eyes got wide. “I need to go talk to Becca right now.” She started to run out of the kitchen.

  “Hey now. There will be no cheating. And if you’re a good girl I’ll even let you in on a little secret.” I was grinning.

  Blue came over and planted a kiss on my cheek. Looking down at me with her puppy dog eyes she pleaded, “Tell me the secret and I promise not to interfere in the outcome.”

  I looked around to make sure neither Becca nor Phoebe were with in hearing range. I lowered my voice and said, “I already made one trip to Pussy Cat, and I bought you a gift for later.”

  Blue’s eyes turned to ice. She looked at me as though she wanted to rip my clothes off and licked her lips. “Mmmhm.” She gulped.

  I could feel my panties getting damp just thinking about what I bought at the porn store. The look on her face made me change my mind. “On second thought. Let me go see if Phoebe can get a ride home from Becca.”

  “OK.” Blue’s voice squeaked. “I’ll finish cleaning up.”

  I walked past Blue and shut her mouth. I put a little extra sway in my hips knowing that Blue was watching. Out on the deck I looked at Becca and asked, “Would you mind terribly taking Phoebe home for me? I just realized how late it’s getting and I promised Blue I’d help her tonight clean out the attic. You know since the garbage men come tonight and all. I’m not sure how long it’ll be before I get out of here.”

  Phoebe laughed and shook her head. Becca looked at the roof of the house and then back at me. Looking at Phoebe she said, “I didn’t realize Blue had an attic. In fact, all these years I never knew. Do you see an attic up there Phoebe? It must have been recently installed.” Phoebe shook her head no.

  “I’m sure there’s an attic up there somewhere. Or maybe what Anita meant to say was that Blue needed some work done in her basement tonight. You know Anita is very good with her hands. She can get her hands in anywhere and she’s not afraid to get messy.” Phoebe said as she stifled a laugh.

  “Ha. Ha guys. Very funny.” I looked pointedly at Phoebe.

  “Ya that must be it Phoebe. I even saw Anita stashing a bag when you came in. She must have brought cleaning supplies. The bag said Pussy Cat on it so Blue must have had a wild pack of house cats that broke in. It did storm last night. I heard the smell of wet pussy is hard to get out. That must be the mess that needs cleaning.” Becca was nodding her head at Phoebe a gleam in her eye.

  “Oh that’s so true. You really got to get in there with your whole hand. Sometimes it takes more than once to get the spot. I mean it’s taken me all night before to dry it up. Sometimes it’s still wet the next morning and you’re back at it again.”

  They both looked at me and burst out laughing. My face beet red I refused to acknowledge their teasing. “Good then. I’m glad you understand. Thanks for helping me get Phoebe home safely. Although, I’m sure she can find a way to adequately thank you on her own.” I glared at Phoebe.

  Blue came out the door looking at me and then glaring at Becca and Phoebe laughing and snorting. “What’s going on?” she looked questioningly at me.

  “Becca just offered to give Pheobe here a ride home so I could stay and help you with the cleaning.”


  “Well isn’t that sweet. Cooking for four sure does make the kitchen a mess. Help would be appreciated.” Becca and Phoebe burst out laughing again.

  “It was a lovely evening ladies. I had a great time.” Blue was pushing the two women towards the front of the house. “Is this your jacket Phoebe?” She handed Phoebe her brown leather jacket. “We must do it again sometime soon. Thanks for getting Phoebe home Becca. Call you tomorrow.” Blue said as she slammed the front door.

  I wrapped my arms around Blue’s back laying my head on her shoulder. “Thanks for having them over. I wanted a chance for you to get to know Phoebe. She’s my best friend. I think it’s important for you to know her.”

  Blue turned in my arms and laid a light kiss on my mouth. She brushed a piece of hair out of my eyes and held my face in her hands. Her eyes like liquid ice, glazed with passion, looked down at my lips and back up to my eyes as she caressed the sides of my face. She licked her lips and breathed out, “You want to go upstairs?”

  I shook my head no, “Huh uh.” I reached up pulling her head down and kissed her. Her tongue slid into my mouth, battling. I sucked her tongue into my mouth and ran my hands up her back. She lifted me and I wrapped my legs around her waste. Backing up I was set down on the leather couch. Refusing to let go I pulled her down on top of me. Lifting off her shirt I relished the warm feel of her skin. I kissed my way down her jaw sucking on her pulse point. I could feel her heart rate increasing, beating more quickly than it should under my tongue. I pulled back.

  “Are you alright? Should we slow down? You’re heart is going to beat out of your chest.”

  Blue’s eyes were glazed and she shook her head taking in a large gulp of air. “I’m OK. Don’t worry.” Blue sat up straddling me on the couch, “You said you brought me a gift?”

  “Well it’s more of a gift for both of us.” A little flustered and slightly embarrassed I looked around, “I’m not sure. I think maybe we should have gone together. But anyways let me up and I’ll grab it. You can let me know if… you know if it’s OK.” I shook my head and walked to the other room.
