Girl Talk

Elizabeth and Mira met at a coffee shop close to Mira and Douglas's place. It was odd -- Elizabeth felt like she should intrinsically dislike Mira, but it felt like Mira was the only person she could truly unburden herself to. Julia wouldn't understand. Faith was too new to relationships to understand.

"So, he didn't get out on bond -- I didn't realize his rap sheet was so long. I think he gets a long term, I really do," Elizabeth said, sniffling. Mira rubbed her shoulders soothingly, offering her a tissue.

"Men suck, I know. My first boyfriends were the biggest assholes. Always judging me based on the fact I chose to be a woman, and wasn't born one, and not understanding why they were attracted to me despite that, and taking it out on me. And that's guys that appear to be normal, and don't have a record, and are educated. So when even those guys are super jerks, where do we go?" Elizabeth nodded.

"Yeah, I don't know Mira. How does Douglas treat you?" she asked, more as a courtesy than actual curiosity.

"It's a bit better since he started sucking my dick," Mira said, giggling. Elizabeth's jaw dropped open.

"He sucks your dick?" Elizabeth repeated.

"Yeah, sometimes I want more ... but not yet. I don't think he's ready. But why don't you try something different too? There is a girl around here. Black, so you'll like her. She's got a reputation for being well hung. Her name is Monique. Come over, we'll do a double date. No pressure."

Elizabeth bit her lip. Well, she did need a change in pace.

"Okay, Mira. Set it up."
