Jessie's Girl

Jessie's girl (lesbian story) pt 5

Jessie walked down the street to the local cafe. She had been craving a coffee all day long and her nerves were shot. She nervously rubbed her right arm as she walked. It stung to touch because the day before she had gone to the beach and forgotten sunscreen and now was completely burnt. She didn't mind it all that much except she was feeling extra cranky. She nervously glanced around hoping not to run into either Anna or Lana. Jessie couldn't understand why it was awkward between her and Lana but it was. The day before while she was at the beach she ran into Lana. She found herself admiring Lana's tone tan body in her little bikini that left nothing to the imagination. She was torn between the need to tell her to cover up before someone sees her and just telling her that her bikini was cute. Jessie smiled fakely at Lana. Not because she wasn't genuinely happy to see Lana. It was just suddenly so conflicting. Her and Lana had made a sort of silent pact that they would be best friends. And the thought of more just frightened her. Jessie started to wonder if maybe she should have just gone out with Anna. After all, she didn't seem like a bad person. Maybe she was just what Jessie needed right now. A simple and honest relationship where someone doesn't know the other person's deepest secrets. She quickly ran her hand through her hair in a nervous gesture. She was looking at the ground and completely ran into someone. Spilling hot coffee down her white tee. Great. She screamed out in pain as the hot coffee touched her skin. Her first instinct took over and she quickly took her shirt off. Luckily she was wearing her bathing suit as she planned to go swimming at the rec center after coffee. She threw her shirt on the ground and raised her eyes to look into the most dazzling pair of hazel eyes she had ever seen. The girl wore a genuine look of concern as she tried to wipe the coffee off of Jessie's chest. It seemed wildly inappropriate to Jessie that the girl was touching her chest when she wasn't wearing a shirt. But she just looked so damn sorry that Jessie smiled and took the napkins from her shaking hands and effectively wiped off the coffee. Her skin was a bit tender but no real damage was done.

"I am so sorry! I didn't even see you. I was trying to read that billboard across the way. Oh man I feel so terrible. Are you alright?" The girl asked with a frown. Jessie gave her a reassuring smile as she watched the girl brush her wavy brown hair behind her back.

"I'm fine. It's totally okay. I was just thinking about something and I am totally in the wrong here." The girl smiled in relief. "I'm Jessie. I haven't seen you around." The girl smiled brightly and it was completely contagious.

"My name is Quinn. I just moved into town. Like today. My roomies sent me to get coffee because we are all pretty worn out." She looked down at the spilled coffee and frowned.

"It's okay. I will get you some more coffee. I feel terrible for making you spill yours." Jessie smiled at her and out of the corner of her eye she spotted Lana walking on the opposite side of the road. She placed her hand on the girls lower back and gestured her back into the coffee shop and out of Lana's eyeshot. The girl looked a little confused at the hastiness of Jessie but willingly went in with her. They both ordered and Jessie picked out a booth for them to sit at.

"So. Are you in college?" Jessie asked the girl as she blew on her hot coffee that she had forgotten to add sugar to. As she took a sip she frowned at the bitterness. She cleared her throat and focused on the girl.

"Actually. I graduated last year with my bachelor's in child education." Jessie's eyes widened at the sound of her major.

"Wow. Kids? I have a nephew at home that is four now and I can't imagine having to teach 30 or so of him." Jessie smiled. Quinn laughed.

"I am actually a high school teacher. So no little kids for me. Just stubborn teenagers." She smiled and sipped on her frappacino.

"Sounds nice." She smiled and looked outside quickly to assess where Lana had got to.

"You look as if you are trying to avoid someone." Quinn interrupted her thoughts and laughed. Jessie had to smile at her bluntness.

"As a matter of a fact I am. Something weird happened and I am not trying to fix it just yet." She blew on her hot coffee. "What are you doing later? Around eight. I heard about this awesome free concert in the park and I was thinking maybe you and your roommates could tag along. I was just going to go alone but it's always nice to make new friends." She smiled earnestly. Quinn thought for a moment and then slowly nodded her head.

"That sounds nice. Want to meet at my place? I don't know the city very well."

"Sure that's fine." Jessie replied.

"Cool." The girl grinned and seemed to blush a little. Jessie couldn't help but wonder if the girl was gay but she didn't feel like it was the right time to ask. "Do you know the big blue house on Church Street? That's us. You can just go to the front. I will be waiting." She smiled as she picked up her friends coffee's and they parted ways outside of cafe.
