Coming out

"To be honest," she continued, "it's not that I can't feel pleasure from sex. I..." she blushed, but she decided she didn't need to hide anything now that the app gave her so much power. "Actually, Josh, I masturbate quite often and I use sextoys. The truth is, I think I'm simply not interested in men and they can't satisfy me."

"So... You're a lesbian?" Josh asked hesitantly.

"Yes. Yes I am." Sara felt liberated. It was the first time she admited it out loud. "I'm a lesbian." she repeated, as she needed to hear it coming from her own mouth. "And... I like you, Josh, as a person. But all this time, I've been using you as a cover."

He frowned.

"Are you okay?" Sara asked. "Be frank with me."

"Well, to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. I thought... Well, we've never been the most romantic couple, and I've always been more attracted to you than in love with you. But I thought... I hope... I wanted to convince myself that somehow, I really caught your attention, even though I'm so obviously out of your league. I doubt I could have ended up with a straight woman more gorgeous than you. And, to be honest, I know you never liked the sex with me, but the every time we did it I found it awesome! But... Can I ask you a question?" The redhead nodded. "Why? I mean, it's not 1950 anymore, the society has never been as tolerant as today, so why do you need to hide?"

She looked away. "I'd like to say it's easy to think this way when you've never been exposed to homophobia yourself, but... truth is, neither have I. Not directly, anyway. But, you know my family."

Josh winced. Sara came from a catholic Irish family. They were pretty nice most of the time, but with conservative views on several topics. Her father frightened him just by the way he looked down upon him when he shook his hand in a not manlier enough way. There was no way he or his wife would approve their daughter coming out of the closet, but despite all of this they were loving and caring parents and he knew she wouldn't want to lose their affection.

He looked at the phone in her hand. "So, what will you do with this? We could fix this in many ways."

She smiled at him. "I have a couple ideas. But I want your opinion first."
