I don’t know for sure if Mel isn’t behind Elise’s plans, but I’m not sure I care at the moment.

We met at the same bar as before, and this time I didn’t have meetings in the day so I wore a dress with buttons down the front, because I’ve been paying attention to what Elise likes. She smiled and said it was a lovely dress, and lovely to see me again. She looked elegant as ever in trousers and a blouse, and somehow walks the line between foxy and tomboy that’s probably a turn-on for every single person of either sex who has even the slightest interest in the female body.

Anyway, we had a drink, and we were sitting on stools opposite each other and Elise had her hand on my thigh and it was so distracting. She said she just wanted to carry on where we left off last time, and before I knew it I was being kissed, and before I knew anything more she had undone the top two buttons of my dress! I said she couldn’t do that here because I wasn’t wearing anything underneath, and she said she didn’t care, and then somehow with a lot of giggling I had to hold her hand tightly to stop her undoing any more buttons.

We finished our drinks and Elise said that instead of going out why don’t we just go back to my place and order something. That sounded really sexy and fun and there was no way I could say no.

I had more trouble getting inside the flat, though, because as soon as we stopped walking and got to my front door Elise was fiddling with the rest of my buttons while I tried to find my keys. It was quite distracting, and the moment I got the door open coincided with the last button being popped open, and as I stepped inside I literally stepped out of my dress, leaving it in Elise’s hands in the doorway.

Instead of following me inside she just stood and looked and said “now I want to go outside again” and I laughed and said no way, not at this time of the night, and not without my dress. She said she didn’t think anyone would mind.

I looked over her shoulder and saw Alison standing in her window watching us, with me on one side of the threshold, naked except for my work shoes, and Elise holding my dress. She waved and I waved back and Elise looked, and asked if she’d gotten me in trouble with the neighbours. So I said they’d seen me nude plenty of times, and I’d seen her partner nude, and if she came inside I’d tell her everything. That tempted her in at last.

We ordered a takeaway and, of course, I had to go down and collect it, naked, and it definitely made the delivery guy’s night. Assuming I’m the only naked woman he delivers to, I guess. You never know.

While we sat and ate and I managed to cool down some wine I told Elise all about Alison and Russ, and she said she’d love to join in the afternoon tea. I said I’m sure she could but I didn’t think she was interested in guys. She just said she was interested in having fun, and that was all. It’s a sentiment I can get behind.

Then things got a bit serious because I asked her about her cancer treatment, and she told me about how low she’d been, how poor her chances were, and how bad the treatment was, and how she thought it was so unfair when she was so young. I may have been sitting nude but I was not feeling sexy by that point.

But the good part is she came out of it with the resolve to not waste any more time, because you never know when something might happen. It didn’t mean not planning ahead but it did mean not letting the moment pass you by. So I asked her what she wasn’t going to let pass her by today, and she said “You” and I felt all mushy inside, and before I knew it we were kissing again.

She stopped and said she wasn’t sure if this was what I was into, and I said I wasn’t sure if it was what she was into. She said she wasn’t sure either, because she’d only ever slept with men before and had only ever flirted with girls. It was weird given that everyone at the gay club seemed to know her and it made me feel like I was the experienced one because at least I’ve been with Ana.

I don’t really know if there’s a record for the longest foreplay ever but we must have set it. Elise caressed my body, and I slowly teased her out of her blouse and trousers, and it felt like it was the middle of the night before I found myself on top of her, both of us naked, and she has the smallest breasts and nipples I could imagine, and boy does she make a noise if you put your tongue between her legs.

So that’s two women I’ve had sex with now.

We didn’t really go to bed but I pulled down cushions and we finally dozed for a few hours in the early morning. I got up and made us coffee and Elise found a bathrobe while I stayed naked and we sat in the kitchen and talked some more. I was worried it would be awkward but it wasn’t.

Alison also replied to a message I sent her and said that Elise was welcome to tea at three o’clock, so Elise said she had to go back to the pub, sort things out, get some fresh clothes and then she’d be back, but what should she wear? I said whatever she wanted, but being covered seemed to turn a man on more than showing skin, which was odd. She said men are just odd about everything to do with bodies, which is true.

I had a couple of hours to myself before I headed over to Alison’s and the second fun thing of the day, albeit on very little sleep.

Russ let us in, already naked, and Sarah was a pile of giggles, because it was new to her, and Elise was just her outgoing self, flirting with Russell, but somehow Alison didn’t mind because she winked at her at the same time as if it was all clearly a game. Russell himself seemed to have a great time, because he was rock hard, again.

It became quite loud too, with all of us chatting, and to be honest we kind of blanked Russell out after a while. Especially when Ellie told the others about Stephen doing the same for me and her, and how he seemed to have no sex drive at all, but after that afternoon there was no stopping him. So, of course, Sarah said she should do it again but invite the rest of us. Ana was up for that, and even Alison said it would be fun, even if Russell probably didn’t like the idea.

Ellie said he’d never agree to that, although she had managed to get him naked for a whole afternoon a couple of times since when her flatmate was out. So Elise said then the solution was to not tell him and we’d just turn up. Ellie giggled and said “he’d kill me if I did that to him” and Elise said “from what you’ve told me I think he’ll thank you for it afterwards”. I’m not sure if we made a firm plan to do that or not now.

We’d been talking to so long and ignoring Russell until Sarah said something about him being awfully quiet in the corner, and she couldn’t imagine her George being so subservient. Ellie said if she could make Stephen do it then anyone could be made to do it. Ana said she probably wouldn’t have to work hard to convince Mark, which I think might be true, and Elise said that it sounds like we have the next three months of afternoon teas lined up.

Sarah asked Alison what Russell got out of it, and Alison said just the privilege of waiting on a group of beautiful women. Sarah said: “What, not even a blowjob?” and that pretty much wrapped up the afternoon because there was nothing to follow it. I couldn’t tell from Russ’s reaction whether he did get something more out of it or not. I can’t imagine Alison giving a blowjob. I can’t even imagine her not being fully clothed. Sometimes I wonder if she maybe wears those black boots to bed even. It would probably send Russ wild if she did.

Anyway, that was my Friday night and Saturday, and I’m exhausted.

I’m expecting another late night with Elise but we haven’t worked anything out yet, so I’ve already messaged Mel to tell her that I won’t make the park run tomorrow. She told me to have fun with Elise, and again I wondered if the two of them were plotting behind my back. Maybe Elise isn’t interested in me after all but is just doing things for Mel?

I had a nice evening out with Ha, just chatting and gossiping and eating and drinking (a little). I told her more about how I didn’t really know what I was into, but I was getting on with Elise so I should just see what happened. She said she was so happy to see me finally turn to “the other side”, and I had to laugh and say not so fast, because I still fancied Mark, and she said “nobody’s perfect”. But I had to admit I also fancy Ana. So that makes three people, and only one of them’s a man.

She told me about how since the naked bike ride Lily had been making Ha spend more time naked. I said I’m sure she couldn’t make you do anything you didn’t want to do, and Ha said there is that, and Lily does make it worth her while. I asked where they went and she said it was only at home, and she jumped every time the doorbell went. I said maybe I’ll turn up randomly and surprise them and Ha said she thought she’d die of embarrassment if I turned up clothed and she was naked, and I said in that case I definitely wanted to do it. I wonder if Lily would be up for that?

I felt like some kind of high-powered executive today, with a suit to work for meetings and then changing into exercise gear for my Pilates class. Things are on the up at last!

All of a sudden I have a busy week lined up!

Wednesday: Pilates.

Thursday: Ha said we should “do something”

Friday: Elise has told me to keep the evening free.

Saturday: Alison has set up the second tea session with me, Ellie, Ana and Sarah, and of course Russ is serving us ladies.

Sunday: going to have brunch with Mark and Ana and talk about holiday plans!
