Touchy Feely

Tonight's liberation from the chains of the past had Elsie's spirit soaring above the clouds. Ahead of her she saw nothing but limitless potential. Adventures to be had and experiences to savor. She was hurt, of course she was. Her true love now belonged to another. But she was also feeling blessed. Jesse had always been the safe option, a comfortable guarantee. Deep down Elsie could feel that Jesse and her were meant for each other, star crossed lovers that fate had cruelly placed within the same family. Had they ended up together, their twin souls intertwining in perfect harmony, they would have had happiness. There was no risk outside of keeping their taboo secret.

But that possibility was over now and El was accepting of it. Her future now involved risk as she struck out into the unknown, risk she now welcomed with open arms. There may be mistakes, regrets, heartbreak, and sorrow. But there may also be triumphs, excitement, laughter, and true love. Every giddy high and agonizing low she would own and make her stronger and help to build the woman she would become.

Elsie was a Bailey however, and with that lineage came unavoidable realities. Soaring right along side her lofty spirit was her previously shackled libido. In short...El was horny. She knew from conversations with Aunt Peg that this was perfectly normal, due to their mutation the Bailey's sexual appetite was much greater and more acute than the average person. Chloe was the ultimate expression of this but they all felt it.

As Casey settled in beside her Elsie knew then that she would have this stunning red head this very night if she could. She would let Casey have her way with her if that is where things lead, if not El would have to take the lead and hope Casey followed. She had never tried to actually seduce anyone before but she had practiced with Peg a few times.

Casey's flawless feminine appearance did not put her off one bit. For one, Elsie had only ever been with penis packing women before so it actually put her at ease. But also her taste in boys tended to lean toward the young pretty ones anyway. Jesse, anime characters, jpop and kpop idols, the actors on those foreign dramas she watched occasionally, all had a certain androgyny to them that El found very cute.

Elsie was so caught up in her own soul searching thoughts and lustful daydreams that she entirely misses the first question as it is read out. The voices from the other tables lower to a murmur as each team discuss the question among themselves.

"Ha!" Chloe grins. "That's so easy." She writes an answer down in the first blank without even hearing the input of her team

Casey leans over and shakes her head. "I don't think that's right Chloe."

"It is!" Chloe insists. "Tell her El."

El snaps back to reality. "Huh? Oh, um. I don't know." She mutters, trying to bluff through the fact she had missed the question. Looking across the table she can see Chloe had written down 'Piglet' as the answer.

"You do to know!" Chloe exclaims. "You know darn well it's right. Quit trying to impress your date, we want to win this thing."

"But I thought Tiger was..." Casey starts.

"TIGER!?" Chloe says loudly, as if personally offended at Casey's suggestion. She lowers her voice to a harsh whisper so the other tables can't hear her. "First of all his name is Tigger, not Tiger! And he is NOT Pooh's best friend. He and Roo are besties. Everyone knows that."

"Roo?" Casey shrugs. "Oh, okay then. I have never actually watched it or read any of the books."

"Pfff! How have you not...?" Chloe shakes her head in disbelief. "Unbelievable."

Elsie begins to chuckle and pats Casey's bare forearm. "When it comes to Winnie the Pooh I would trust Chloe." Her cousin loved Winnie the Pooh as a child, she even now owned a pair of Pooh panties that she would wear on special occasions.

Casey looks down at the delicate hand on her arm then up into Elsie's eyes. Sparks fly as their gazes meet. Casey was every bit as worked up as El. The giddy mood and unrestrained vibe of El's new freedom was infectious, and it certainly didn't hurt that Elsie was so damned hot. It might have only been a touch to the arm but it had been a long time since Casey was touched intimately and damn did it feel good. Elsie leaves her hand to rest on Casey's arm. Not only does Casey not pull away, she actually moves her arm closer. The move was subtle but unmistakable. Casey wanted to be touched by Elsie, she welcomed the physical contact and would welcome more still. She shifts an inch closer. This, whatever this was, was moving fast and neither of them wanted it to slow.

Tearing her eyes away from El Casey looks back to Chloe. "Well...you are the expert it seems."

"Damn right. Nobody knows Pooh like me." Chloe grins. "My goodness, haven't seen Winnie the Pooh. We have to fix that. If you're going to hang with us we gotta educate you." She looks to El as a light goes off. "We should do a movie night at Mom's place soon, we haven't done that in forever. OH! A sleepover! Movies, wine, snacks, the works."

Elsie laughs. "That might be fun." Casey had no idea what 'the works' actually meant for the Bailey women, but perhaps someday she would.

Casey laughs too. "That it might." Due to her anatomy and gender fluidity she had always been excluded from such things in her youth due to nervous or suspicious parents. She wasn't sure if the plan was something they might actually do or if it was just Chloe silly talk talk, but the idea sounded very fun indeed!

Chloe returns her attention to the presenter and readies herself for the next question.

Meanwhile, smoothly and silently, Elsie and Casey move their hands off of the table and into the space between them on the seat. Casey slips her long elegant fingers into Elsie's soft palm. Both of them squeeze at once, holding each other's hands as naturally and as comfortably as long time lovers might.

Time goes by and more questions are asked. Each time there is brief discussion and a few laughs before Chloe records the PPM's answer on the sheet. Thus far the questions had been easy but Casey warned them the difficulty would soon ramp up.

And that wasn't the only thing ramping up. Shielded by the bench seat back behind them and the table in front El and Casey's hand holding had escalated. El now had her hand slowly running up and down the gentle swoop of the small of Casey's back while Casey in turn had her hand resting on Elsie's knee. Their smoldering looks to one another were more and more frequent. Each time they moved they would get imperceptibly closer to each other. Their shared laughter would now be accompanied by the pair leaning into each other or El resting her head briefly in Casey's shoulder. They took each and every opportunity to touch each other. Their nervous giggling and fidgeting becoming more frequent as they buzzed with randy energy.

Their growing intimacy was out of place in the overly bright and overly noisy diner yet neither cared. Each moment of contact was a thrilling promise of things to come.

Their playful flirting, that they thought was so sneaky, was as obvious as a billboard for anyone attentive. Both Felix and Chloe can't help but catch the growing touchy-feely interactions and too long gazes between them. Felix continues waiting on tables as he struggles to hide his huge smile at his best friend's good fortune. Chloe, as usual, is far more blunt.

After writing another answer down she leans across the table to her tittering teammates. "Hey, if you guys want to go to the car for a quickie I can cover things here."

El and Casey look at her in stunned silence at the improper suggestion...before bursting out into laughter once more.
