Chapter 5
October 20, 2025 at 5:06 PM
The following evening, while Julie was sitting on the couch trying to escape her sorrows with a good mystery novel, there was a knock on the door.
Julie stood up, wondering if she should open the door if it were Jill. How she wished it were Jill, either way! She’d been up all night long crying over her, barely managing to function through the day’s training. She hadn’t realized just how much Jill had gotten to her in so short a time.
Drying her teary eyes, she stood up and opened the door.
It was Jill. She wore black jeans, a purple shirt, and a black leather jacket. Julie thought she looked hot. However, the expression on Jill’s face sent immediate chills coursing down Julie’s spine.
Jill noticed Julie’s red eyes, though she wasn’t in the mood to care at the moment. She had other things on her mind. Before she could speak, however, April’s door flew open and a young man stepped out into the hall, followed by April, who was yelling at the top of her lungs.
“You bastard from hell! I hate you, Barry Davis, and I don’t ever want to see you again!”
Without a word, the man walked briskly towards the elevator.
April turned to face Jill and Julie. “What are you looking at?” April said in a loud, snotty voice.
Julie’s depression was quickly replaced with rage. “Oh, I ain’t in the mood for your shit, you skanky bitch!” she screamed as she went to charge toward April. Before she could get very far, though, Jill shoved her back into her apartment and slammed the door shut behind them.
April’s mad laughter erupted in the hall, then faded into her own apartment.
“What the hell’s going on, Julie?” demanded Jill.
“With what? You dumped me and I dumped you back.”
“And so you start calling my mother?”
“What?” asked Jill in confusion.
“Oh, don’t what me, girl. You know damn well what I’m talking about.”
“No, I don’t know, Jill.”
“When I called my mom after work today, she told me all about the dozen or so prank calls you made to her last night and…”
“Bullshit!” Julie interrupted. “I never called your mom.”
“You said you made prank calls in the past, Julie.”
“That was years ago. Meanwhile, I’m not the one calling your mom. Tell her to get a trap put on her line and find out who it really is, and also, it’s you I’m pissed at, not her. If I wanted to prank someone, it’d be your ass I’d be pranking and not hers. Now get the fuck out of here and don’t come back.”
Jill leaned menacingly close to Julie and looked down at her in a way that caused Julie’s heartbeat to quicken. “Just knock it off if you are calling my mom. Do you understand?”
“Get out!” screamed Julie.
Jill opened the door. “If it is you, you’ll be prosecuted,” she threatened.
“Get your ass and your bullshit accusations out of here right now!” screamed Julie as she followed Jill out into the hall. “I don’t ever want to see your sorry ass again, do you understand? I’m not scared of you, and I don’t care how tall you are! You just stay away!”
Not seeming the least bit intimidated by Julie’s declared bravado, Jill continued on down the hall.
April’s door opened up. “You’re not scared of her?” she asked as she stepped into the hall. “Girl, she could break you in half!”
“I’m too pissed to be scared of her,” said Julie. Then she turned to April as if suddenly realizing she was there. “I can definitely break you in half,” she threatened, lunging towards April just as she spun on her heel and locked herself inside her apartment.
Julie turned back towards the elevator at the end of the hall. Jill was leaning against the back wall of the elevator, facing her with her arms folded in front.
The doors shut, and then she was gone.
Later, when Julie was soaking in the tub, she heard the phone ring. She didn’t feel like getting out to answer it. It’s probably just Linda anyway, she thought. I’ll talk to her later.
Yet when she got out of the tub, dried off, and picked up her messages, she found that it was Jill.
“I’m so, so sorry,” Jill said. “It was discovered that the real prankster was my little niece. She’d been hitting the buttons on the phone with programmed numbers. My sister’s friend got pranked, too. Again, I’m so very sorry for accusing you, Julie. I really am, so if you think you could give a hot-headed Italian one more chance, I’d love to hear from you. I know I don’t deserve it, but I really do hope you’ll call. I’m sorry it had to take all this for me to realize just how much I really do like you, and I don’t care how unique you are. I like you just the way you are. Hope to hear from you soon.”
Julie’s heart leaped with joy as she dialed Jill’s number.
Jill answered right away.
“Jill?”
“Hi, babe, what’s up?”
“Well, I was thinking.”
“Yeah?”
“Come to my performance tomorrow night at the civic center, then we’ll take it from there, ok?”
“I’d love to. Can I bring a friend or two?”
“Of course. Stay in the lobby after the show, and I’ll meet you there.”
The next day, Julie slept in as she usually did on performance nights, then got up and did some errands. It seemed performance time would never come. When it finally did, she found she couldn’t wait for it to end as much as she enjoyed the job. She was so excited about seeing Jill. The thought thrilled her so much that she had to struggle to concentrate on her moves all the more.
At last, the show ended, and the deafening applause erupted. Julie then quickly scrambled to change back into her street clothes in the cramped dressing room where everyone was talking excitedly and climbing over each other.
By the time Julie reached the lobby, the crowds had thinned out. Only a few stragglers were left wandering about.
Julie spotted Jill with Kathy and Kara and ran towards them. “Hey there!”
“Hey, babe!” exclaimed Jill, who hugged Julie fiercely, kissing the top of her head as she did so.
The three immediately showered Julie with compliments and praise for the overall show, then Kathy introduced her girlfriend, Kara.
“I was amazed,” said Jill. “I had no idea you did so much. I love how the dance and gymnastics were combined like they were.”
“How terrifying it must be,” added Kara, “to be up so high.”
“You get used to it, though, as you saw, I do most of my work on the ground,” Julie said with a chuckle.
“How do you stay so flexible?” asked Kathy.
“It takes regularity, that’s for sure.”
After Kathy and Kara left in their own car, Julie and Jill managed to get to Julie’s apartment without meeting April along the way. Given the late hour, they agreed to get together after work tomorrow.
“How about if you repack that overnight bag,” said Jill, “then I’ll come for you straight from work since you get home a little earlier than I normally do.”
“Ok, but this time,” Julie said with emphasis, “I’m going to make it to your place.”
“That you are, little lady, that you are. No more breaking up and making up. We stick together from here on out.”
“I’d like that.”
The two stared deeply into one another’s eyes.
“How about a little more than just a little half-assed kiss on the cheek?” asked Jill.
“I’d like that, too.”
Julie and Jill’s lips met in a long, sweet, tender kiss. It was with great reluctance that they pulled apart.
“See you,” Jill said as she tenderly grazed Julie’s cheek with her hand and turned to leave.
Julie heard April’s voice as she was locking the door.
“Come over for a hairy midnight snack?”
“Mind your own business,” Jill told her.
“Or perhaps she keeps the grass mowed really short for you,” said April as she burst out laughing before reentering her apartment.
Julie heard the hum of the elevator, wishing she could be Jill’s midnight snack, though she was anything but hairy.
After work, Julie took the bus home and stopped by Linda’s apartment.
“Hi, come on in,” said Linda as soon as she opened the door.
“Actually, I don’t have time. You see, Jill’s coming to pick me up to take me to her place for the night.”
“Ooh,” said Linda with a wink.
The two laughed.
“Oh, how I hope we get it on!” exclaimed Julie. “It really is time to move on and have some fun, if you ask me.”
“I think you will,” Linda said with confidence. “After all, she’s inviting you over for the night. Come on, figure it out, girl. What’s that mean?”
“Yeah, I suppose tonight’s the night. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this for months. Anyway, I just wanted you two to meet if you don’t mind my stopping by with her on the way back down.”
“No, not at all. See you then.”
“Bye!” cried Julie as she ran off, filled with happy anticipation.
Twenty minutes later, Jill was knocking on Julie’s door.
Julie swung it open. “Hey, good looking.”
“Hey, gorgeous. Ready to go?”
Julie nodded, drinking in Jill’s good looks from head to toe. She’d never have guessed one in a bland nurse’s uniform could make her tremble with so much desire! What a body, she thought. What a perfect, perfect body. Most importantly, there was Jill’s beautiful face. She wore her sunglasses pushed up on her head. Their arms held her hair back, exposing her perfect forehead.
Jill agreed to meet Linda on the way out, who didn’t hesitate to tell Julie that she’d be jealous if she were into women, too.
The three laughed, then Julie and Jill took off.
“No catfighting with April?” Jill asked as the two climbed into the SUV.
“Haven’t seen the loony tune around today.”
“That’s nice.”
“Where’s your apartment?” asked Julie.
“Don’t have one. I live in a little house by the beach.”
“Oh, cool.”
“It’s about ten minutes away.”
Julie was quite impressed when they pulled up in front of Jill’s little cottage-like house.
“Wow! You really do live by the beach, alright. More like right on it!”
“The other side of the house is where the sand starts, but as you’ll see, the front and sides are grassy.”
The houses were about a hundred feet apart, and each had a private, fenced-in area in the back where the beach area was. Julie found Jill’s house to be small, yet cozy with its modern furniture and decorations. She loved its unique design. The garage was under the house’s two bedrooms. The two exited a side door in the garage by the washer and dryer and headed to the house’s side door just a few yards away. Just inside the door was a linoleum-tiled entryway with a bathroom straight across from the entry door. To the right of the entry door were the kitchenette and the living room. The living room, carpeted in champagne pink, took up about a third of the lower floor. The kitchenette had the same linoleum tile as the entryway. Just beyond it was a table and chairs. There were sliding glass doors off the living room, where the private patio was. Beyond that was a magnificent view of the ocean. Against the back wall of the living room were two sets of about ten steep stairs, each leading in opposite directions, forming a V shape.
“Cool!” exclaimed Julie.
“The one heading left leads to the spare bedroom, and the one going to the right is the master bedroom.”
“That is just so neat. Is there a bathroom up there?”
Jill nodded. “It’s sandwiched between the two rooms behind the room’s closets. You can get to it from either room.”
Julie peered out the windows on the sides of the house. From the kitchen window, she could see the side entry door, which was at an angle that couldn’t be seen too well from inside the house unless you were by the back wall of the house. The sides of neighbors’ houses could be seen from both the kitchen and living room windows, while the front windows, which only existed in the lavender-carpeted bedrooms and upstairs bathroom, overlooked the driveway and the road. You could see a few other houses from there as well. There were no windows where the stairs were, as that wall divided the house and the garage.
“This is a way nice place you have here, Jill. So delightfully cute and cheery.”
“Yeah, you don’t see too many models like it.”
“I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
“Shall we go for a stroll on the beach?” asked Jill.
“I’d love to.”
“Ok, let me get out of this uniform first.”
Moments later, the two headed out barefoot onto the patio, where there was a white plastic table and chairs. The table had a large striped umbrella in the middle of it. A grill stood in one corner of the patio, which was enclosed by a white five-foot-high wooden fence. Another corner had an array of beach chairs.
Jill unlatched the gate, and off Julie ran. With childlike enthusiasm, she gathered shells of various kinds, with Jill casually striding close behind. They chatted about nothing and everything as they walked along the shore and let the waves gently crash upon their feet.
Jill admired the pleasure Julie seemed to take in being together and enjoying the beauty of nature around them.
The few people they did pass along the way seemed to be just as absorbed in their surroundings as Julie and Jill, barely noticing the two.
When the sun began to lower and the sand beneath their feet became cooler, they headed back to barbecue some burgers.
Later, with the sun fully set and their tummies pleasantly full, they sat nestled closely together on the couch while they watched a movie. A cool, gentle breeze blew in through the open windows and patio door.
Julie continued to lean back against Jill. The two were just as aware of each other as they were of what was happening on TV. Jill’s cheek was nestled against Julie’s head. She breathed in the fruity fragrance of Julie’s hair as she ran a hand up one of her smooth, supple thighs, fingers trailing lightly along the contours.
Warm moisture began to form between Julie’s legs. Her heartbeat quickened as did her breathing.
The next thing Julie felt was Jill kissing the side of her neck, then her cheek, then her lips. Julie turned her head towards Jill for a better reach. The two kissed gently.
The hand that had slid up Julie’s thigh had now found its way under her loose-fitting shorts and then under her skimpy, silky g-string panties. The other hand was sliding up under Julie’s shirt and then under her bra.
After the movie, Jill shut and locked the downstairs windows and the two headed upstairs, anxious to finish what had begun down on the couch, though not too fast.
Keeping the blinds down for privacy, Jill opened the bedroom windows to let the fresh air circulate throughout the room. Then she peeled off her shirt and stepped out of her shorts.
“What a great body!” exclaimed Julie, who then removed her own shirt and shorts.
“Not as great as this one,” Jill insisted as she gathered Julie into her arms for a more passionate kiss.
Jill reached around and undid the clasp on Julie’s bra, then removed it altogether. She quickly removed her own bra and nudged Julie onto the bed, where she then slid her panties down and off. Removing her own panties, she then positioned herself above Julie and began sliding her body up and down hers.
Julie spread her legs to allow Jill more contact with her most sensitive parts as she clung tightly to the small of Jill’s back, then kneaded Jill’s butt as the rhythmic sliding movements continued. Jill’s nipples brushed against her own red, taut ones.
Julie felt her desire mounting just as Jill came. She came so hard that Julie could feel her clit throbbing against her own as Jill cried out with satisfying pleasure.
“Wow!” she exclaimed. “I didn’t expect to go over the edge that fast.”
“Don’t forget me!” cried Julie with desperation.
“Oh, I won’t,” Jill assured her as she shimmied down towards the foot of the bed.
Jill’s hands slid under Julie’s butt as she began sucking and licking Julie’s wet, hot pussy. She slid her tongue in and out of Julie’s wet opening, then up to tease her needy, swollen clit. She did this for a few minutes, then it was Julie’s turn to enter the throes of ecstasy as she came in wave after wave of pleasant sensation, then went limp, spent and content.
Catching their breaths, the two cuddled up snugly together in the quiet darkness.
“Julie?”
“Yes?”
“Do you think it would be ok if I ended up falling in love with you?”
“I think it would be more than ok,” answered Julie. “What if I fell in love with you back, if I haven’t already begun to?”
“I think that would be wonderful, even if some might say we were nuts to feel such feelings so soon.”
“Nah, we’re not nuts. When it’s right, it’s right, and you just know it when it is.”
“That’s true,” said Jill.
