Chapter 2.
Northern Soul.
Betty smiled as Tea walked up to her, "I wasn't sure you'd show up."
"I wasn't sure either, but a lot has happened since we had sex and I thought maybe it was time to think about a second date."
"I'm glad to hear that, so should I ask what made you change your mind?"
Tea shook her head, "It's not important, but I think I've been afraid to get close to anyone and I don't want to end up alone and miserable, so here I am."
"I can't imagine you ever being alone." Betty said as she took in all of Tea's deliciousness, "You're too beautiful for that. I should tell that you I've never been in a relationship with a girl either. You were right when you called me a scaredy cat, but that actually helped me try and face my fears."
"I could tell that by the kiss in the cafeteria." Tea said with a smile, "I was a bit upset by that at first, but I think it's good you kissed me. I needed to snap out of my little world and that sure did it."
"What happens now?"
"Well, we could talk or dance or we could go back to my place?"
Betty smiled widely at final option offered to her, "As much as I'd love to talk and dance, I can't turn down an offer to go back to your place. I loved it so much the first time."
"Alright then, let's go." Tea took Betty's hand and led her out of the club. She held her hand tightly as she walked up to her car, but just as she leaned in to kiss her, she was interrupted by Michelle.
"What's going on here?" Michelle asked, as if she were a jealous girlfriend.
"I'm taking Betty home, what are you doing here?"
Michelle ignored the question and turned to Betty, "Could you give us a couple minutes please."
"Sure, I'll go freshen up." Betty said with a smile, even though she was anything but happy.
Once Betty had gone back inside, Michelle glared at Tea, "You're taking her home to fuck? You can't do that."
"I what?" Tea asked with a confused smile.
"You think this is some game for me, but it's not." Michelle said, stopping just in front of Tea and looking her right in the eyes, "I have real feelings for you. I don't know what they are or what they mean, but I like you and I don't want you being another girl."
"Michelle, you don't get to tell me what to do." Tea said, trying her best not to sound as annoyed as she was, "That's not a good idea. I don't do well with threats."
"I'm not doing that." Michelle yelled, frustrated that Tea would think such a thing, "Can't you see that I care about you, you know, a bit more than just as a friend? Would a friend be so upset that you were about to have sex with some girl? I need you to hold off on the sex okay. Just give me some time to deal with Tony and then we can figure out what to do next."
"We? There is no we Michelle." Tea said bluntly, "Why are you doing this? You're not gay. I don't think you're bi, so that leaves a very bi curious girl who has a fantasy in her head and can't get rid of it. The minute we have sex you're going to be scared straight again and you'll be back in Tony's arms before I can get dressed."
"Stop acting like you know me so well. I'm not just some bimbo you know." Michelle said, "Maybe I act like one around Tony, but I'm with you now. It's just us here, I have no reason to lie. When I look at you I get more turned on then when I'm having sex with Tony."
"I didn't need to hear that." Tea said, turning away from Michelle, "I don't know what's going on with you, but I'm not the answer. I can't be. Tony's already pissed at me and you're just going to make it worse."
"Tony isn't part of this." Michelle snapped, "The only thing that matters is what you feel about me. Are you saying you're not attracted to me at all? If that's true I'll be disappointed, but I'll get over it, but if you are into me, then what's the problem? Look at me and tell me you don't want to kiss me."
Tea looked at Michelle's soft sweet lips and knew she couldn't lie, "I'm not going to be your fantasy."
"You're so much more than that. I like you as a person. I don't like a lot of girls you know, I don't like a lot of boys either, but you, I like a lot. You're fun, you're honest, you're so confident and that's sexy, it is." Michelle smiled, enjoying being so close to Tea, "Isn't it possible that you've just helped bring out all these feelings that were always inside me? Why is it so hard to believe that I can be attracted to you? Have you looked in a mirror lately? You're beautiful."
Not wanting any part of the conversation, Tea refused to budge, "We just had this talk 8 hours ago. I thought you'd be with Tony right now."
"Tony's in a pissy mood, I don't need that. He doesn't appreciate me anyway. I didn't mind being his trophy girlfriend, because he did the same thing for me, but I'm bored with that now, I want something real. I want someone like you."
Tea put her hands on Michelle's shoulders, "How about you go home and take a cold shower and we'll talk about this tomorrow."
"No, I don't want you fucking that girl." Michelle yelled, while grabbing Tea's arms and pulling them down in front of her, "I know it makes no sense, but it really bothers me that you're with her. I know you like girls and I know she kissed you so you must like her, but could you please not sleep with her tonight?"
Tea smiled, "You're actually kind of cute when you're being insane."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Michelle said with a smile, "There is a difference between being insane and deeply infatuated with a beautiful girl."
"Okay, let's just say for arguments sake that I take you up on this, tell me how see things going for us?"
Michelle jumped at the chance to make her case, "Okay, well, I see us going on a date, like normal people. The whole dinner and movie thing, but since we already know each other so well, we're way ahead of you and Betty. I just want us to spend some time together. I don't just want sex, but I admit that's something I think about a lot, but I don't want be another notch on your belt either, I want to be someone you enjoy being with. I think I match up well with you. Even more than Tony ever will because I'm a girl and you like girls."
Tea could only smile at Michelle's in depth answer, "You've put way too much thought into this."
"No, I just want this to happen." Michelle said with a cute smile, "So, are we in agreement, no sex with Betty?"
"I've never seen you so persistent with anything." Tea said, enjoying Michelle even more than usual, "Okay, here's what I can do. I don't know why I'm doing this, but I won't sleep with Betty tonight. But, we need to talk tomorrow about a whole lot of things before I ever agree to think about any of this happening for real. Tony is number one on the list. I'm not doing anything until you break up with him."
Michelle's smile faded in a flash, "Wait a minute. Why do I have to do that? What if you dump me after one day or something, then what?"
"I'm not sneaking around behind Tony's back." Tea stated firmly, "We may be fighting right now, but he's still my friend. Would you want him sneaking around behind your back?"
"That's not fair. You don't have to break up with anyone."
"Actually I do, because I just told Betty I was ready for more than just sex, so I'm in the same boat as you."
"That's not quite the same as having a boyfriend, but I guess you're right. This is not going to be fun." Michelle said with a sigh, "Tony is such an ass when he doesn't get his way. He was so paranoid that you and I were going to hook up and this is going to make him right yet again."
"I know it's not fun, but if we do this we're going to do with a clean slate. Call me tomorrow and tell me how it went."
Michelle couldn't stop smiling or staring at Tea's soft sexy lips, "I feel like I should kiss you goodnight."
Tea backed up as she saw Michelle lick her lips, "As tempting as that is, I can't touch those lips until we're both free."
"Awe, oh well." Michelle said with a cute little pout, "I know one thing, when we finally do kiss, it's going to last a very long time, because I love to kiss and I can see kissing you for hours on end and never ever wanting to stop."
"Hold that thought and I'm sure we can do something about it soon."
Betty walked out of the club to see the two girls standing very close together. She marched quickly up towards Tea, "Did you need more time?"
"No, Michelle was just leaving." Tea said, abruptly backing away from Michelle.
"Yes, I'm sorry I interrupted your evening." Michelle smiled at Tea and then walked off happier than she'd been in years.
Tea turned to see Betty looking very unhappy, "I'm sure this didn't look good, but there's a reason for that."
"It's okay. I'm not blind, but I thought you meant what you said inside, about starting over, wanting to have more than just wild sex, but I guess not."
"I'm sorry." Tea said, knowing it sounded pretty flat, "Michelle's going through something right now and I need to help her with it."
"She's not the one Tea, you know that." Betty said, a direct dig at Michelle being straight.
"I don't want to get into that, but I am sorry for leading you on." Tea said, cringing at the situation she was in, "I really wanted things to work out with us, but I've known Michelle for a long time and we have a history and I don't know what's going on with her, but I need to find out."
"She's not gay. She's with Tony and she seems pretty happy with him." Betty said, once again pointing out the obvious, "I can't believe you're going to throw away any chance we have for something real on the off chance that Michelle has switched teams all of a sudden? Do you even see how absurd that is?"
Tea couldn't help but smile at the question, "Yes I really do, but a big part of me is curious as to what will happen. If it doesn't work out, well at least I know I tried, but after talking to her tonight I think maybe this is more than just some fantasy of hers."
"Then you really are delusional because she's as straight as they come."
Not wanting to argue, Tea just nodded, "Okay then, I guess I'll find out the hard way."
Betty couldn't hide her displeasure in Tea's decision, "You do that, but I'm not going to wait around for you to sleep your way through the entire school before you find out that we could've been so great together. Goodbye Tea."
"Betty. Come on, don't be mad." Tea turned to follow her, but Betty wasn't about to stop and soon she was out of sight. Leaving Tea to feel horrible at what she'd just done.
Tony's home.
Michelle waited on the porch for Tony to come outside, even though she dreaded what was about to happen.
Tony walked outside, closed the door behind him and as he leaned in to kiss Michelle, she pulled back on him, giving him the first sign of things to come, "Well, this is a first, Michelle not wanting to kiss. Something must be up."
"Yes, there's something I need to tell you." Michelle kept moving until she was on the sidewalk, "I know things have been kind of tense between us the last few days and I hate to say it, but they're about to get worse."
"That's just great." Tony said, his worst fears about to come true, "This is about Tea isn't it? You just can't shake that stupid fantasy."
"I don't think it's a fantasy anymore." Michelle said calmly, "I know you don't want to hear this, but what I feel for Tea is real. I just need to find out what's going on with me and that's why I have to break up with you."
"What? You've got to be kidding me? Why?" Tony asked, totally caught off guard by the bomb Michelle just dropped, "I don't care if you want to go experiment with Tea, I've been asking you to be in a threesome with her for a year now and you keep saying no, so why is that? If you're saying you like her, then why wouldn't you want to be with her? That was the perfect opportunity for you to live out your fantasy, get it out of your system and we would all move on."
"I guess I didn't want to share you or her." Michelle replied, "I don' think a threesome is something that people who are in love do. I think it's for people who are trying to keep their relationship alive, so they do all kinds of things, but you shouldn't want to be fucking other girls when we're together and you shouldn't want me to be fucking anyone else either. How is that about love?"
"Michelle, let's not go overboard here." Tony said, backing away when the other L word was mentioned, "We're in high school, we're not in love, we're hanging out. We have fun. We have sex, but love is for when you're older, like 30 or something. Anyway, we don't have to break up. Go do what you want to do with Tea, I can wait."
"Why would you want to? That's not the Tony I know. I expected you to be upset." Michelle said, confused by Tony's reaction, "Maybe that's because you don't love me, so you don't care what I do with anyone else."
"Why are you turning this against me?" Tony questioned, "You're the one breaking up with me. You're the one who needs to have sex with Tea to get your head straightened out. We never talked about being in love, so it's not just me here."
"Maybe I thought I was in love. It's pretty clear I wasn't, because I thought this would hurt a lot more, but you made it easy. We are over though. I am ending this tonight."
"You'll never be happy with her." Tony yelled, hating the thought of losing anything, even a girlfriend, "She's not into relationships, you know that. And more to the point, you aren't a lesbian, so what the hell are you even doing? Why are you ending us? You won't last two days with Tea. The moment you have sex you'll come to your senses and Tea will be onto the next girl, so either way this isn't going to end well for you."
"I guess that's for me to find out."
"Fine. We're done. That's it." Tony screamed in rapid succession, "When things fall apart in your little fantasy don't come crying to me, because I'm not taking you back now ever, not after you've been with her."
"Well, that's more like the Tony I've come to know so well." Michelle said with a sad smile, "I wish we could stay friends, but you don't seem to want friends, just people who follow you around and laugh at your jokes. I want more than that and if it's not Tea, well I'll find someone who does care about me as a person, not just my tits."
"You never complained before, so don't act like this is my fault. If you wanted more from us you should've said something."
"Fair enough, but I guess I was hoping you'd be the one who wanted more." Michelle said, strangely calm as her relationship was coming to an end, "Anyway, I don't hate you, no matter how angry you are right now and I hope that in time we can be friends again."
"Not going to happen." Tony said angrily, seething at the thought he was being dumped, "The moment you hook up with Tea we are over. All of us. I don't want anything to do with either of you."
"That's going to be a little hard since we have same friends and go the same school."
"I have a feeling that once I talk to my friends they will be on my side. Who wouldn't feel sorry for me now? My girlfriend dumps me for a lesbian, even though she's not a lesbian and only wants some sex. I think I'll do quite well as the victim."
"Only you would try and use this against us." Michelle said, hardly surprised by Tony's anger, "Don't be so bitter. I'm not going to argue with you. But I wouldn't bet against Tea either. You're going to find out that the people you call 'your' friends like Tea a lot more than they like you."
"I guess we'll find out about that tomorrow." Tony said with a smug smile. He turned and walked towards his house, opening the door and going inside without saying another word.
Michelle shook her head in disbelief, but knew this was exactly how she expected things to go.
