Coffee with Steph.

You quickly change back into your clothes and bundle the bikini up and step out of the booth. Steph is already at the counter paying for hers, her face looking nervous and worried. She gives you a quick glance as she finishes and steps aside to make room for you.

"Umm, I'll just be outside," she murmurs, a blush creeping up her face. You nod and hand your credit card to the clerk, feeling your own skin heat with embarrassment.

It was nothing to be upset about, you tell yourself. It was just two friends hugging. You've even kissed before, more than once, although that was when you were both drunk and dancing in a club. This had seemed...different somehow. Much more like lovers than like friends, and with surprise you feel a glowing warmth in your pussy. With a nervous smile and a nod to the clerk you finish your purchase and head outside.

Steph is standing nervously, staring across the street. She gives a startled little jump when you touch her shoulder, then manages a smile that is almost her normal impish and carefree grin.

"There's a coffee shop right there," she says with the trace of tremor in her voice.

"Let's do it," you answer, your own voice a little shaky as well. "My treat."

The two of you order lattes, then stand silently as they are prepared. Once you have them you lead the way to an empty corner table and sit. Steph sits facing you, her hands playing nervously with her cup, her eyes not meeting yours.

"Steph, are you ok? What's wrong girl?" She bites her lip, still not looking at you.

"Nothing. It's ok. Ummm...I just...just... was surprised when you kissed me...that's all."

"We kissed before," you remind her. "In the club. A few times. We're best friends Steph, that's all." You feel your belly fluttering with an uncertain excitement, as you look at her pretty face. You reach out a hand to touch hers, and feel her twitch and start to pull her hand away before slowly turning it over and softly squeezing your fingers.
