Chapter 6 Along Came the Sea

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GUY'' may thought to herself furiously. One second shes walking out of the petalburg woods with Carmines hand in hers. Next he's making friends off with some freak in a costume. She supposed she wouldn't have been so mad about it had all the cave stuff not happened literally hours ago.

She was about halfway across the lake bridge when she decided to rest a minute. She sat down dipping her lean legs into the cool lake water. "What on earth am i doing." She said to herself". "It's not even a week after ive left home and im already dealing with so much… whats a girl supposed to do…" suddenly she noticed some one walk up to her.

"Ran away from home kid?" a woman that seemed a little older than her approached her. Her thick boston accent was unfamiler to may. She wore a dark gray jacket with a light blue undershirt, and short shorts accompanied by knee high white and blue striped socks. Her hair was a sandy brown that complemented her vaguely dark skin. Her lip piercing glinted of the orange glow of her cigarette. She was staring with her light brown eyes awaiting mays reply.

"Well ah…" may mentally punched herself for speaking her mind out loud again.

"Hey man, is cool i ran out on my moms and pops too. Got tired of em tearing me down ya know" she took a long drag off her cig before breathing out. She popped off her shoes and sat down next to may flinching a bit as her feet entered the pristine water.

"Yea… me and my father haven't really seen eye to eye on pokemon training."

"What he don't like em or somethin?" she asked puzzled.

"Well no actually he loves them, studies them in fact" may replied shyly.

"Then what gives?"

"He says things are getting too dangerous for kids to go out traveling like they used too. I Guess all over the world criminal organizations are rising up wreaking havoc everywhere. Rocket, Galactic and now Aqua and Magma… i'll admit it's scary but it won't stop you from living life." the woman took a last drag of her cig before putting it out on the musty deck.

"You know you're right, im guessing thats why yous out here. Not lettin nothin stop you eh?"

"You bet!" may smiled at the woman. "Not even a stupid guy."

" oh ye?" the woman looked at her out of the side of her eye.

"Yea.. this guy carmine. I just met him but, hes already run off to join up with a group he knows nothing about."

"At least he aint afraid of commitment"

"Yea but if you commit to the first thing you see? The second it gets offered to you?"

"Point takin" the woman said pulling out another cigerette and lighting it.

"You know its funny here i am complaining about him talking to random strangers but here i am pouring my soul out to you and i don't even know your name…" may blushed at her own reflectiong.

"Oh yea" the young woman blushed scratching the back of her head. " I'm Brittany, friends call me Britt." she said with a mock wave.

"May, May Birch. Its nice to meet you!" she said extending her petite hand to Brittany. She took it in a sightly tight grip.

"Say may you got anything going on later tonight?" Brittany asked.

"Not much out side of walking around by myself it seems ha haaa…"

"Well ah" Brittany turned away. "You wanna go out on the town tonight?"

"Ah sure i don't see why not" may replied.

"Score! Its a date then!" she smiled ear to ear at her.

"Ah-ah date?" may blushed a bright red color.

"Ya best way to get to know each other right?"

"I mean but.. Your.. im a…"

"Pfft what got a box? That don't matter none. Let me guess you grew up in one of them small towns like Littleroot?"

'Box? May thought to herself. She simple shrugged and nodded in agreement.

"Listen i always believed if you love someone for who they are it shouldn't matter what they look like or what they got in der pants" she says letting the smoke pour out of her nostrils.

"Honestly, Ive just never even thought about it. I guess i see your point… and it won't hurt anything will it? "

"Tell yea what" Britt said pulling out her pokenav. " here's my number, do ya like burgers? There's this tight joint run by that steven stone dude."

"Steven Stone?"

"Yea the champ"

"What's he doing running a burger joint?"

"Beats me, from what i here they guy likes trying out a bunch of different things. Then ends up ditchin um after a week or two. Anyways, im gonna go over to the center and get washed up. Meet ya there around 7?"

"Yea sure. Ill see yea then!" may replied.

And with that Britt pulled her feet out of the water and slipped her black shoes back on.

"See yea" Britt said as she walked away with her hands in her jacket pockets.

'Wow' may thought to herself. Just minutes after talking to some girl she just met she was suddenly going out on a date with her. Then it hit her

"Oh Arcues ive never been on a date! what do i do?" she began to panic internally. 'It would be okay, itll be fine. But i have nothing to wear! But, its just a burger joint it can't be that fancy right? Besides its just one date, with a friend i just made. Just play it cool."

Unfortunately for May seven o'clock came far too early. In that time she had managed to find a nicer looking red dress. She was so nervous. She had her bandana tucked away and all her hair pulled back into a pony tail that just failed to reach the small of her back. And with one last deep breath she approached the entrance to the restaurant. She suddenly paused at the sight of her date standing in the lobby waiting for her. Britt now wore a button up white tee with a deep blue tie and tan pants. She seemed to be on her nav messaging someone. Once May's eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of the restaurant she realized that this wasn't just a burger joint. This was some high class restaurant that you usually needed some kind of reservation for. She felt so overwhelmed by everything around her. Thankfully Britt looked up from her Nav and noticed May.

"Hey" Brittany said as she waved May over.

"Oh hey! Sorry im late.." May replied as she approached.

"Its cool man. Hey i got ya these!" Britt pulled out a set of small flowers that May hadn't seen when she came in. thats when she realized it wasn't just a get to know you hang out. This is a date-date. And she hoped to Arcues that Carmine didn't see this.

'But then again. What did it matter? It wasn't like he had made a move or something' she thought to herself.

"Oh wow! There so pretty! Thank you so much, ive never gotten flowers before."

"Don't mention it" Brittany gave her a smile as they came up to the podium to be seated. After ordering there food and eating they got to talking. For may they food was a nice bonus, the truth was she was looking forward to talking with Britt more. She felt so strange about having a connection with someone so suddenly.

"So what is it your setting out to do?" Britt asked May

" well, i think i want to go travel this region and collect badges, but at the same time i want to get to know all kinds of people and pokemon. Ive felt so sheltered all my life. I just wanna see it all ya know"

"Yea i feel ya, i wanna go explore the oceans. Find all kinds ah new life yea know? Imagine what's out there"

"Oh so your wanting to get into Marine Pokeology?"

"Yea something like that just looking for a good way to get into it. My cravanaha isn't strong enough to swim based stronger currents yet. Plus i don't have a rebreather yet."

"I think you need a badge for that right?"

"Yea mossdeep gym i think"

"Maybe we can make our way over there some day?"

"You offering to go traveling around?" Brittany asked.

"Well yea, i can't very well leave my girlfriend here now can i? Hehe…" May was panicking why in Arceuses name would she say that. Brittany began to blush as well.

"Well when you put it that way… yea ill go with you!" Britt smiled ear to ear. "Ya know its getting late. You wanna bounce?"

"Yea we can head out if you want to." May was so dissapointed, she knew she had been talking to her for afew hours now but it felt like just afew short minutes.

" i mean we don't hav ta split or anything. You can come back to my room at the center and chill if yea want."

"Id love that actually" may said to her relieved. After getting there bill settled may and Britt headed out on the town toward the center. During their walk May suddenly felt fingers slip between hers as Britts hand grasped her hand. May felt a sudden wave of excitement come over her. ' oh wow, whats that' she thought to herself. Her face reddened as Britt winked at her. Soon enough they reached the pokemon center. The second the doors slipped open though britt let go of her hand.

" im staying in room 3C" she told may " just gonna take a sec to get some nicotine in me and i'll be right in, joy don't like it when i smoke in there."

"Oh sure, no problem." May nodded at her as she waved a temporary goodbye. May found herself standing alone in the quite little center. The only person there being Nurse joy busy typing away at something at the front desk. May proceeded to the left end of the lobby area and headed to the Temp rooms. She made her way then down the hallway looking left and right for the room labeled "3C" eventually after making it all the way down the hall she found the room farthest to the back. "Guess this is it" she said to herself. She flipped on the lights to see the room. Was pretty standard as far as center temp rooms went. A simple bed and nightstand accompanied by a mid sized jacket closet. She took he shoes off and sat them neatly at the right side of the door. She decided to just plop down onto the bed waiting for Britt to get done smoking. May decided she didn't know how she felt about that. It kind of added to this bad girl vibe she had gotten from her at first glance. But the truth was she was nothing like she appeared. All things considered she was pretty cool.

'She was fun to talk to and be around. And what was that feeling earlier? When her hand touched mine? No ones ever made me feel that way. And i think i want more…' May was thinking to herself as her face reddened at what "more" entailed. She'd seen pornos afew times on those nights when she couldn't get to sleep. And tonight was the perfect set up to one. Two strangers have a chance meeting and end up taking each other to bed. The thought enticed her so much that she softly bit her bottom lip. 'If she offered would i? I mean i wouldn't not want to. But i just met her.. What if she's not into it… What am i talking about this is my first date with her i can't move things along that fast… better just take care of this before she even gets here so im not tempted… but as soon as Mays hand began to pull up her dress and reach for the brim of her panties the door opened. Quickly she pulled her hand up and pressed her dress back down trying desperately to straighten it out.

"Hey'ya" britt said nonchalant as she came into the quaint temp room. "You okay? Ya look alittle red in the face" Mays face couldn't brighten more at that.

"Oh of course im fine! Just ah, just waiting for ya thats all."

"Cool" Britt was undoing her blue tie and kicking her shoes off. "Say may"

"Yea?"

"How do you feel about women?"

"What do you mean?"

"Dose it bother you that im one? Rather then a dude that is."

"Well, no its just diffrent…"

"Bad diffrent?"

"No! No! I just ah i don't know how to feel yet i guess just new thats all"

"Its cool just take your time and hey this whole thing doesn't work out were still friends right?"

"Of course"

"So may, hehe what are you into?" Britt asked as she sat next to her.

"Um like as in"

"Sex n stuff"

"Was it that apparent?"

"Alittle but know i know for sure thats what you were thinking of" at that may winced

" well i mean i just don't know atleast not with a woman or anything.. Hehehe i don't even know how that works really hehe"

"Want me to show you?" Britt said unbuttoning her shirt as she leaned in for a kiss.

"Um ah ah" may was at a lost for words. And before she could muster a reply there lips had met. May had never felt such a rush in her whole life.

' guess i got my answer may thought to herself as Britts hands lightly grasped her wrist. May was being pressed against the bed as she felt Britts legs straddle her. May felt her mind get hazy as she pressed her tongue into britts mouth. She didn't know exactly how this was going to go down all she knew is she wanted her. She didn't want worry about tomorrow, she didn't want to think what this will mean for her relationship with carmine going forward. She just wanted to fuck. Britt pulled away from her both of them gasping for air as a string of spittile lead from mays mouth to her. Britt held herself above may hands still on her wrist.

"How was - that?" Britt asked catching her breath. May simply nodded with lust in her eyes whispering "more". With that Britt pulled away from her. "That's just a taste… maybe more later on alright?" May felt so aroused that she didn't quite register what she had said.

"What? But i"

"Well you were feeling unsure, sex isnt everything but its somethin sure would suck to be together only to find out theres not spark to the fire"

"Oh…" may was disappointed, had she done something wrong? She sat up and whipped her mouth.

" hey don't look so down." Britt layed next to her placing her arm around her. "I admit that was a little much but truth be told im just as horny as the next lass" at that may turned to look at her. " i will say your a pretty amazing kisser though."

"Uh thanks i think…"

"Its a compliment."

"So ah, i ah, where can i sleep?" may said as britt giggled at her.

" with me silly" she kissed mays cheek.

"But i thought" Britts finger poked mays nose on the tip.

"Just cause were not sleeping together tonight dosen't mean we cant ~sleep~ Together tonight"
