Who Knew?

Pizza and Wine

Lena-

While we wait for the pizza we ordered to arrive, I had really gotten to know Stef a little bit more and vice versa, the one thing she has been vague about was her sexuality, I really wanted to know on whether I was wasting my time with this one. So is there anything else I should know about you? I asked. I don't think so, you know that I am a divorced mother of one, a police officer and a lousy cook, not much to my life, I'm pretty boring, she says. I doubt that, I say with a smile, one she returned. One thing I did notice was every time I paid Stef the slightest compliment, she always blushes, did straight women blush at another woman's compliments? I thought to myself. And as for the lousy cook comment, I think I should be the judge of that, don't you think? I asked. Well you've been warned, she says. Silence creeped up in the conversation, when we both get startled from the doorbell ringing. Should be the pizza, she says. Hand me my purse Stef, like I said this is on me, I said. To late, I already got my money out Ms Adams, she said with a wink. 

Stef-

Answering the door, paying for the pizza and the tip, I feel her come up behind me, after  the pizza delivery guy left. That wasn't fair Stef I told you I had it, she says. Well next time, I said. Was there going to be a next time, she said. I sure hope so Lena, because I really enjoy your company, I said, and you're not hard on the peepers either, I found myself complimenting her, I have no idea where that came from. Really, she asked. twenty minutes rolls by since the pizza was delivered, half eating and two bottles of wine later, I found myself gazing at this beautiful woman, couldn't keep my eyes off of her. Stef did you hear me, Lena says. Oh sorry Lena what were you saying, I asked. I said it's getting kind of late, I think I should call a taxi to take me home, don't want to take the chance of driving under the influence, she said laughing. Well if you don't mind, you could stay here I have an extra room, I offered. No that's okay, and besides we just met, she says. I'm not going to kill you Lena, I said with a chuckle. That's not it, she says. And I won't take advantage of you, I said. Well then I am definitely going home, she said laughing. One I returned. Was she flirting? I thought to myself. Come on Lena please, pretty please, I ask. Ok when you put it that way, how can I refuse a beautiful woman, she said. There it goes again, she is  definitely flirting with me, is Lena really gay like she said, maybe thought she was kidding? I think to myself. Well I have some extra pajamas you can wear. Oh no thank you I never wear them, I always sleep in the buff, she says.

Lena-

Did I just tell her I sleep naked, oh way to go Lena, I think to myself. Well the offer is still on the table if you need them, she said.  Thanks I will take you up on the offer, forgot I am sleeping on somebody else's bed, I said. Well it doesn't matter to me one way or the other Lena, whatever makes you comfortable, she says with a smile. Thanks Stef, but I will take the pajamas, wouldn't want to get up in the middle of the night going to the bathroom naked and then run into you, that would be a little embarrassing, I say. I noticed after that comment, it got so quiet that you could probably hear crickets if there were any, I thought to myself. Well I will show you to the bedroom and then get you those pjs, she offered. Thanks, really appreciate this Stef, I said. It's my pleasure, she says.
