A Change of Heart

By Susan

Mary opened the pink envelope that came in the mail with the usual bills. It was a wedding invitation from her girlfriend Deborah. So Deb is finally tying the knot, she thought. Mary scanned the card to see the name of the man Deb was going to marry. Her eyes froze on the name and her jaw dropped open. The other name on the card was that of a woman.
Elizabeth.
Oh my goodness! Mary thought. Deborah wasn't marrying a man.
At that moment Mary's roommate Lisa came into the kitchen.
"What's up?" Lisa said noticing Mary's facial expression.
"You remember Deb my roommate from college?"
"The redhead? Sure do."
"Well get this, she's a lesbian!"
"Yeah, I knew that."
"You knew that!" Mary said shocked. "How could you know that? She never said anything to me."
Lisa shrugged her shoulders. "No big deal."
"What do you mean 'No big deal'? She's gay."
"Yeah, so... " Lisa took the card from Mary's hand. "Mmmm a summer wedding, great. I've had my eye on a new dress and this will be the perfect excuse to get it."
"That's if I go." Mary announced.
"Why wouldn't you go? She was your best friend."
"That's before I knew she was a lesbian."
"God, Mary! Listen to yourself. What has it got to do with who your life partner is? She's still the same person you went to college with."
"She wasn't a lesbian in college."
"You can't be sure of that," Lisa said handing back the card. "And really, what difference does it make. This doesn't all of a sudden make her a bad person does it?"
"Well no... but I just can't imagine her with another woman."

Lisa sat at the kitchen table.
"Can you imagine me with another woman?"
"No." Mary said taking the seat opposite her.
"Well then it's a good thing you're sitting down then."
Mary's jaw dropped for a second time. "You've had a lesbian encounter?"
"More then one."
"You're just saying that... I mean... What about John?"
"He's just a friend and we like the same type of movies, that's all."
Mary searched her friends eyes. "You're bisexual?"
A thin smile crossed Lisa's youthful face and she shook her head 'No'.
Lisa reached across the table and took her friends hands in her own.
"I'm the same person I was five minutes ago, just like Deborah. Nothing has changed but the fact that you now know I'm a lesbian. Does that mean our friendship is over?"
"Of course not! You've been my roommate for a year now." Mary said loudly. "It's just..."
"It's just what?"
"Well, it's all so sudden. I just never imagined..." She glanced into Lisa's pale blue eyes.
"How come you didn't tell me?"
Lisa smiled, "I knew it would make you uptight and it's no ones business but my own."
Mary released Lisa's hand and sat back in her chair.
"What do you mean uptight?"
"Like now, you're very uncomfortable with this."
"I'm okay." Mary said. She paused for a moment.
"I know you have lots of questions," Lisa said. "Go ahead and ask."
Mary shifted awkwardly in her chair. All of a sudden she didn't know where to put her arms. She folded and unfolded them across her chest, then restlessly dropped them to her lap. Without a question being put to her, Lisa began to explain everything about her life. From her earliest memories of sexual awaking, to her first love. Mary became more at ease as the hours passed.
"Tell me," Mary said after Lisa had finished. "Have you ever thought about making love to me?"
"I hope you take this as a complement. Yes I have."
Mary blushed. Her olive skin took on a rosy hue. "Would you have come on to me?"
"No dear. That's not my style. I know some women that think it's a great victory to get a straight women in their bed, but I would never play that game. If you had showed some interest in me, that would have been different."
Mary smiled. "I'm working a late shift today so I should get going."
"Okay," Lisa said. "You okay with this then?"
"Yes, perfectly."
"Good," Lisa said and she gave Mary a light kiss on the cheek. "I would have hated for anything to have change."

For the next two weeks Mary asked Lisa several more questions about her life. For the most part everything was the same. Lisa did note a minor change in Mary's behavior. Mary didn't come out of the bathroom after her shower wearing just a towel. Nor did she leave her bedroom door open. These small but noticeable changes didn't bother Lisa and she carried on as she normally did.

Lisa woke to the sound of her alarm clock. "Crap," she said and slapped it off the night stand. She had forgotten to turn it off before going to bed. She had booked the day off work and after finding the alarms off switch she rolled over and went back to sleep.
Mary heard Lisa's alarm followed by the loud bang as it hit the floor. She too rolled over and went back to sleep, she had been rescheduled to work an afternoon shift and was going to enjoy a sleep in. At five after nine Mary got up and headed to the bathroom. She stripped off her pyjama's and brushed her teeth. She was just about to start the shower running when she heard a humming sound coming from Lisa's bedroom. Thinking Lisa's alarm clock must be going haywire and sure Lisa had gone to work, Mary marched into her roommate's bedroom.
Lisa had woke around nine but didn't feel like getting up. For some reason she was feeling very horny. She reached down and slipped her middle finger into the silky folds of her vagina. Slowly she worked her finger up and down her valley, paying special attention to the protective hood of her clit. As she felt herself getting wetter she worked her wetness from her velvety tunnel to her thick outer lips. It felt good, but she needed more than just her touch alone. In the night table next to her bed, Lisa got out her favorite toy, a simple, sleek, silver vibrator. Throwing back the covers, Lisa spread her legs wide and with her free hand parted her swollen lips and slide the vibrator between them.

Mary stood there in the doorway staring at Lisa. This had come as such an unexpected event. Lisa hadn't noticed her yet. Her eyes were closed, her face relaxed. Mary didn't know what to do next. She had never watched another woman masturbating before. Feeling guilty and not wanting to be caught, Mary started to move away from the doorway. Just then she heard Lisa call her name. Mary froze, but Lisa hadn't opened her eyes. She was slowly moving the vibrator over her clit and at the same time saying, "Oh, yes Mary. Just like that... Oh, your tongue feels so good on me."
All my goodness, Mary thought. Lisa is fantasizing about me.
Mary moved away from the doorway so she wouldn't be seem, but stayed in ear shot so she could hear what Lisa was saying. Lisa continued to talk aloud and what she was saying began to have an effect on Mary.
"Mmmm, I can't wait to lick your sweet pussy Mary, I have so wanted my tongue covering your sweet clit. To make you cum for me."
Mary could feel herself getting turned on as Lisa's dialog became more steamy. She reached down and covered her mound with her hand. Using her middle and index fingers she began to stroke herself. Lisa started to moan quite loudly and the sound of her voice sent shivers down Mary's back. Mary closed her eyes. She could picture Lisa's body in her mind as she listened to her bring herself to orgasm. Mary could see Lisa's nicely tanned body. The tan line that bordered her breasts made them look like snow capped peaks topped with deep brown chocolate. Mary could hard believe how turned on she was getting thinking about what it would be like to taste those chocolate peaks. In her mind's eye she focused on Lisa's pussy. She could see her small triangle of blond hair and her wet, pink folds. Mary felt herself closing on her own orgasm. She could still hear Lisa moaning. Mary wanted one more look at her roommate, she wanted to see her going over the top, wanted one more look at her beautiful body. How, she thought, could I have not seen how gorgeous she is?

Mary poked her head around the corner. Lisa had rolled onto her stomach and was rubbing one hand over her anus while she stroked her clit and valley with her other hand. Mary mirrored Lisa's actions. Lisa slipped her middle finger into her hole and Mary followed suit, rolling and gyrated her hips to the movement of her fingers.
Lisa's moaning grew louder. She was so close now and didn't want the sensation to escape her again as it had done just minutes before she rolled onto her stomach. She opened her eyes to search for where she had laid the vibrator when she caught a glimpse of Mary in her dressing mirror. It startled her and she jolted, but Mary hadn't noticed, having had her eyes briefly closed at that time.
Lisa didn't know what to do next. Mary was obviously enjoying the show, and looked as if she wouldn't be much longer the way her hand was traveling up and down her silky valley. Mary's nipple stood erect and her pussy lips gleamed with her wetness. Lisa watched as Mary worked her clit in small clockwise circles. How long had she been there? Lisa thought. Had she heard me... God, did she hear me saying her name?
Mary watched intently as Lisa grabbed her vibrator and attacked her vagina with it. She slid it down her valley to her entrance, then she tilted it up and pushed the tip into herself. With slow deliberate strokes Lisa pushed the vibrator into her pussy, filling her cavity.
"Please Mary, make me cum. Please I want you so badly now," Lisa cried out.
I'm here! Mary announced in her mind.
"And I would so love to please you Lisa."
A shock went through Mary's body. Did I just say that aloud? Lisa turned to face Mary, the look on her face was a strange mixture of surprise and relief. Mary stood motionless, temporarily paralyzed.

Lisa got off the bed and approached her. She took Mary's hand in hers. Then she covered Mary's mouth with her own and kissed her softly. All Mary could think of was how wonderful Lisa's lips felt on her own. Lisa's body pressed into her own. Warm flesh meeting warm flesh. Passion meeting passion. With eyes closed they explored each other's body. Lisa locked her fingers with Mary's and lead her to the bed.
"Did you really mean what you said Mary? Would you love to please me?"
Mary smiled. "Yes I would."
Lisa smiled back. "Just you saying that would be enough. Are sure now that it is okay with you?"
Mary kissed Lisa hard and deeply, their tongues dancing lightly over each other. Now they were both sure. Lisa pulled Mary down on the bed and rolled on top of her. She ran her hands over Mary's breasts. She lightly pinched her nipples with her thumb and fore finger. Mary moaned loudly. Lisa kissed her way around Mary's face, taking her time to enjoy the smell of her hair and the fragrance of her skin. She kissed her neck, the top of her shoulder, then moved lower. Mary gasped as Lisa's mouth found and covered the nipple of her right breast. Her tongue washed over her nipple, licking in small circles.
Mary felt Lisa's hand slide over her stomach and playfully push into her belly button. Then she ran her fingers into her pubic hairs. Mary's breathing quickened and Lisa could feel and hear Mary's heart pounding. Lisa moved her fingers that last few inches and found Mary's wet, silky valley. She pushed her fingers into the swollen folds and stroked her from her entrance to her clit. Mary boldly joined her. Finding Lisa's slippery wet pussy. She could not believe how fabulous it felt to explore another woman's sex.
"Can I slip a finger into you?" Mary asked.
Lisa looked up from Mary's breast. The smile in her eyes said it all.
Mary glided her finger into her lover. She was sopping wet and the texture and warmth, so like her and yet so different. A new wave of discovery over came her and Mary knew what she wanted... no, needed to explore next. Lisa moved back to Mary's mouth and they kissed for several minutes while gently stroking each other.
"I want to lick you Mary, I want to make you cum."
"Oh, Lisa I want to do that to you too."
"Then lets experience that joy together and at the same time."
Lisa moved off Mary and crawled over top of her so they where in a sixty-nine position. The view afforded to Mary left her breathless. Soft pink folds of flesh, like the petals of an exotic flower just inches away. She took her finger and drew a line down the center of her lips spreading them slightly. Then she slipped her finger into Lisa's pussy and twisted and turned her finger inside her velvet glove. She felt Lisa's tongue on her outer folds, then on her clit. Sucking and licking and pulling her flesh into her mouth. Mary tentatively stuck out her tongue and tasted the wetness that covered Lisa's pussy. Her fragrance and sweetness was intoxicating. She found herself lost in Lisa's pussy. She sucked on her fleshy folds, drawing as much of her into her mouth as she could. Lisa did the same and together the wave that washed over them, like the action of their tongues made them one. Shaking and groaning they orgasmed together.
Once the wave had subsided and they could move again, Lisa laid back down beside Mary and they kissed and hugged each other.
"Thank you Lisa, for showing me a side of life that I don't think I would ever have experienced."
"The pleasure was all mine, I'm just so glad you wanted to experience it as well."
Mary smiled.
"So what color is that dress you're going to wear to Deborah's wedding?"
Lisa smiled back. "Red."
"Mmmmm, my favorite color," Mary said.
And they hugged and kissed again.
