Tidal Wave

I have to tell you right off... I had nothing to complain about, really. My life was fine. I had finally made it to where I'd always dreamed I'd be. I was married, lived in a nicer-than-average house in a much nicer-than-average neighborhood, drove a Mercedes, and had a reasonable sex life.
The real problem was that after two years in Pitchford, I still didn't have anyone I could call a friend. Richard and I had come here thinking it would be another in a long series of happy adventures. Maybe it was for him. He didn't seem to mind the fact that he was now traveling forty-five weeks a year, with every other weekend home.
I didn't think I minded, either. After all, I had a home to put together. Room after room challenged me, I did a pretty nice job, and it kept me busy. The house was large enough to be a full-time occupation - six bedrooms, three full baths, four floors if you counted the finished basement, and on and on. It was quite a way from the small two-bedroom apartment where we began, just out of school and newly married.
Those times seemed much more distant than the five years we had shared.
It took me awhile to realize that as I filled the rooms, I was becoming more and more empty. The closer I got to finishing my vision of a happy home, the more I turned to soap operas and mind-numbing talk shows. Why? Because. Just because.
I was getting to be a lonely hermit, and I didn't know how to stop.
Shopping didn't seem to help, and the corporate scene was a little beyond my ability or desire. Church was out of the question, and although I tried aerobics classes and craft workshops, the Martha Stewart brand of self-amusement mixed with fashionable steely-buns didn't really do anything for me, either.
And although I suppose my descent into loneliness was a long process, it didn't feel that way. What I mean is... well, I'm not sure how to explain it. All I know is that one night I went to bed a satisfied wife, and woke up the next morning a despondent, miserable woman.
For months, I told myself that I was just tired, and that things would get better. That's what I told Richard, too, when he started to notice my withdrawal. He would give me a concerned look, kiss my forehead, and then go off to work on budget forecasts, or proposals, or whatever he was doing that day.
Something was always coming up to take him away from home, and it kept us from having to figure out what was wrong. By the time I would decide to open up to him, he was already on a plane, taking off for Canada, or New York, or California - anywhere he needed to go for a few weeks. And I was alone. Again.
I know, it sounds pretty whiny. After all, I had everything people say they want.
For the sake of my sanity, I started venturing out into the town, going to open houses, interior design shops and art galleries. It was hard at first. It wasn't like I never went out, but I'd always had something to accomplish before. To go out with nothing particular in mind was uncomfortable, which showed just how much I'd changed. Once, I had been able to walk the malls all day for no reason at all. Now, all I could think was that a small, picturesque community in the foothills of the Rockies was not a place to find much adventure.
Then again, it was better than staying home.
--------------------------------
Sometimes the circumstances that change our lives seem so mundane as to be laughable and only gain profound proportions in retrospect. That's how it was with Mason. She was in front of me at the Pipe Dream Deli and Sandwich Shop, waiting for a Reuben sandwich.
I was fishing around in my purse for some cash, which had lost itself in the bottomless abyss I carried over my shoulder. I bumped her with my elbow. It was a freak thing - - she lost her balance and fell forward, catching herself on the counter. She turned around, eyes flashing in anger.
"I -- I'm sorry," I stammered, embarrassed. "I just was trying to..."
"Yeah, yeah, look it's okay." Her face told me it was anything but. My own face turned and my lips fell to silence. She opened her mouth to say something that would match her withering look, but the called out the number for her sandwich before she had the chance.
She turned back around, but not before rolling her eyes and whispering an exasperated, "Ugh! Stupid..." that I wasn't supposed to hear -- or maybe I was. Either way, I found myself wondering what the unspoken word might be.
When my own sandwich came, I made sure to sit facing away from her, and in a place she wouldn't see me. It wasn't fear, really -- it was habit held over from a childhood of avoiding confrontation.
I guess she didn't see it that way. At least, that was my first thought as she rounded my table and sat down across from me.
"Sorry about that back there. It's been a bad day," she offered.
"No, it was my fault." I didn't really think that, but I also didn't want to deal with this. It was one of those little annoyances that happened every day, and she was threatening to turn it into a grand drama.
She surprised me by saying, "You look like you've been having a bad day, too. I don't want to make this into something big, but I like keeping my conscience clean. So... I'm sorry."
"Me, too," I said. After all, it *was* kind of nice to have it out of the way. I looked down and concentrated on adjusting my sandwich, which was falling apart.
"Cool," she said, standing and walking back to her table.
I nibbled on my sandwich in silence, staring out the window at the cloudy day. It started to rain, and I watched the street get slick and shiny without seeing it at all.
A bad day? This woman - this stranger - had hit a nerve. I was having a bad *year*. I hadn't realized it was so obvious. I managed to shake away the stinging in my eyes before it turned into tears.
I didn't finish my sandwich. As usual, I'd been served something far too large for a normal human to eat. I walked outside and stood under the entrance awning, waiting for the rain to slow down.
It didn't.
I heard the door open, and turned around. It was her. Thinking back, her face had a kind of angular determination. It was just on the soft side of grim. She looked at the rain, and looked at me, and smiled.
It was like the sun breaking through for just a second, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling back.
"When I was little, I used to love getting wet in the rain," she said. "Doesn't feel the same today, though. I guess it's because I don't have a choice." She sighed and started off.
Something inside me blurted out, "Do you need a ride or something?" I kicked myself. My car was a mess, and besides, I really didn't want to be a Good Samaritan. I wanted to go home and lose myself in a room or a show again. Coming out here had been a bad idea.
"Well," she answered, pausing. She looked at me with a kind of quizzical face -- there was something odd about it, like she was sizing me up. With the tiniest of jolts, I realized that I liked it. "Okay."
I'm not sure it made much difference. By the time we reached my car, we were both soaked.
--------------------------------------------
"I'm Traci," I said as I made a right turn out of the parking lot.
"Mason," she offered. "This is really kind of you."
She paused, seeming to let her thoughts go elsewhere, then continued.
"Look," she said, "I'm really sorry about blowing up back there. I've been a real snot lately. I know I sound like a broken record. It's just that, well, I feel like a stranger to myself, anymore."
"No you don't sound like a broken record. Record. Record. Record. Record. Record," I said, risking the kind of joke usually reserved for... well, friends. What the fuck... I didn't *have* any close friends in Pitchford. There was nothing to lose.
It must have been the right thing to do, because she looked at me and smiled again. The sun. Again. My world lit up. What was going on with me? For Chrissakes, I was blushing. "Maybe you should tell me where you live."
"Alone," she said.
"Huh?" Her answer confused me a little. I didn't really think what it could mean... it just wasn't what I expected.
"Oh. Sorry. I thought..." she said, her voice fading. "I should have noticed your ring."
"Well..." I said, fumbling. I had no idea what to say.
She saved the moment by returning to normal. "You see where that white car is turning left? The street after that."
I saw it, kept my eyes peeled, and turned when the time came. I lost track after that, following her directions through the winding, tree-lined streets of old-money houses.
It turned out that she lived back on Bonaventure Avenue, a little out-of-the-way dead end street that was lined with dogwoods and ran smack into the side of Clancey Park. It was an odd coincidence... Richard and I had looked at a house there before moving. It was part of an estate sale, and I fell in love with it, but it was taken out of the sale before we were able to build.
"Twenty-three-oh-three, on the right," she said.
My eyes felt like they bulged out to the steering wheel. You know what they say about the truth being stranger than fiction? Well, that was the house.
She must have noticed, because she said, "Something wrong?"
"No, no. It's just that I've been here before," I said.
"In another lifetime?" she asked.
I gave her a mocking, disdainful look. "*No,*" I said. "My husband and I were thinking of buying this house a few years ago, when it was on the market. The people who lived there died, and we were going to..." My words trailed off as I connected the dots.
"Not everyone who lived there died," she said, so quiet that I could barely hear. I didn't need to hear them, really. I already knew.
"Oh, umm, well..." I stammered. Well, tell me. What *do* you say when you jam your foot into your mouth and all the way down to your stomach?
"It's okay," she said. "I didn't exist for a lot of people. I guess that was my first official act as a grown- up, taking back the house. Before that, I was only Bradford and Marcella Livingston's odd little girl. A lot of people thought I was crazy keeping a mansion like that. No one knew I'd want to come back to this house to live, including my parents. Sometimes even *I* wonder why I did."
It didn't sound bitter. It sounded like reality.
"I'm still sorry. I don't have any friends here, and I guess it's no wonder. I'm pretty stupid, sometimes."
"No, you're sweet," she said, as I pulled into the long driveway that led back to the house. "And it would have been a long walk. Thanks for the ride. Maybe I'll see you around, Traci."
"Sure," I said. Like that was going to happen. In another two years.
I watched her walk up the sidewalk to the front door, waiting to make sure she was able to get in okay. About half way to the house she stopped, and then came back to my window. I let it down, and she said, "Look, it's stopped raining. Would you like to come in and dry out? You look pretty disheveled, and I'd like to return your favor."
"No, no," I said. "That's okay. I have things I need to get done."
She gave me a look that told me she knew it was bullshit.
"Traci, come on. Even if you have somewhere you have to go, you can't go looking like that. Worst case, I'm saving you a trip home to change. And if you didn't have anything to do, I'm sure I can think of something. You know, I don't have many friends, either. Let me do this. Get *in* the *fuck*-ing *house*."
The sing-song sound of the her last words hit me so funny that I started laughing hard -- and so did she. Before I knew it I was crying from laughing so hard, bent over the steering wheel and holding my tummy.
It felt wonderful.
--------------------------------------------
"Here's a robe. I'll throw your clothes in the dryer, and in the meantime, we can watch a or something. You can use the bathroom -- it's the door at the end of the hall," she told me.
"Thanks, Mason," I said, and I meant it. I walked down the nicely appointed hallway to the bathroom and sure enough, there it was. The inside of the house was pretty much as I'd remembered it -- elegant and dark, but it had a new flavor. It wasn't and blue-haired anymore, but had a kind of youthful ambience I found very comfortable.
As I closed the door and peeled off my soggy, rain- drenched clothes, I was more grateful than I thought I would be. My feet were all wrinkled and white, and my skin felt cold and clammy. I shivered a little as the chill of air on wet skin moved over me.
This had been a pretty good day, after all.
I put on the robe and considered being assuming enough to take a shower. I pulled back the shower curtain, and decided against it -- not because I thought Mason would mind, but because I didn't know how to work it. It was one of those environmental shower things... water jets pointing in all directions. I'd always thought they looked wonderful, but I'd never tried one, and had no idea how to operate it.
I looked down at the front controls and my jaw must have dropped three inches. There on the ledge was a dildo, and I don't mean just a dildo. This thing was a DILDO. It was odd looking, too. It looked like a regular penis, and had a base, and then another smaller penis curved upward in the opposite direction. Its purpose was obvious.
It was made for two women, to be worn in a way to make regular sex possible for both. I'd never seen anything like it, but how to use it was instinctive. *User friendly,* I thought, giggling a little bit. So Mason was bi. Or a lesbian. I should have known, but it had never occurred to me.
I had a fleeting thought, wondering if she were in the process of seducing me. I got a spark of surprising arousal at the thought... I mean, what woman hasn't wondered what it would be like? But reality came back faster than the thought had come to me. I was married, and I was straight. And there was no *way* that she'd be attracted to me.
I started shivering again, but not from the cold. I was nervous, like a in school. Why was this affecting me this way? I was lonely, and having a hard time with Richard, but what a stereotype... the misunderstood woman seduced by the all-knowing predator.
My head cocked to the side a bit as I realized that buried in my attempt to disarm my thoughts was the tiniest pool of hope.
I shook myself back to reality and pulled the robe tight as I tied the belt. It was huge and made from terrycloth, and I hugged myself in the luxury of it before heading out of the bathroom and down the stairs. She was already waiting for me in the living room, dressed in a white silk robe. Her hair was still wet and tangled just a bit.
"What took you so long?" she asked. "I was afraid you got lost."
"I was trying to decide if I could take a shower," I said, trying not to blush.
"Oh, that shower is the best. It's made for two, though, and you'd have to ask me to join you." She looked at me for some sign of something, like maybe that I'd seen her toy, but I was determined to be as cool as a cucumber. The thought of a cucumber returned my mind to the rude silicone sculpture in the bath.
"So are you a... lesbian?" I asked. Nothing like talking about things rationally to get rid of awkwardness and disarm the situation. Nothing beats down the libido like a little analysis and thoughtful examination.
"I prefer dyke," she said. "Lesbian doesn't scare away the men... they want to watch. makes them kind of clutch at their bellies and go all pale."
I couldn't help but laugh. It was so true. Even Richard would talk in almost hushed tones about "lesbians," but he would spit out the word "dyke" as if it tasted bad.
Mason smiled. "How about you... are you... straight?"
"I prefer heterosexually bent," I said, and we both laughed. Again. This day was becoming more wonderful by the minute. It seemed like lifetimes since I'd been able to just relax and laugh in anyone's company.
"Touche," she said. "But bent does sound kind of... fun. Listen, would you like some wine?"
I thought about it for a moment. "Actually, that sounds really good."
"What kind do you like? I have a very nice wine cellar, courtesy of the estate."
"Pinot Noir?" I asked.
"Ah, a woman of good taste," she said. "Be right back."
I wondered if she meant that as a double-entendre and decided to let it go. She hadn't made any moves, wasn't coming up with any lines, and I was getting what seemed to be a new friend after two years of being alone. I hugged myself again and sat down on the edge of the couch while I waited.
I looked around and started to notice little things I hadn't seen before. There was quite a bit of feminist literature spread around, and books on sexuality, lesbianism and erotic fantasy. Her artwork was mostly Georgia O'Keefe, and the raw sexuality of the paintings seemed to leap from the prints. In the corner was a double edged axe with a short handle and feathers.
The whole effect was quite striking. I wondered what she kept in her more private areas. I wasn't sure I really wanted to know.
And underneath, I felt a bit of surprise in feeling like I did. My case of schoolgirl nerves had returned, as if I had heard about kissing but had never felt how magical they could be. But it was all so silly. I was just getting dry so I could go home.
By the time Mason returned, wine glasses full, I was so deep in my reverie that I didn't even notice her arrival. "Nectar of the Gods," she said.
I shook myself aware and stood to take a glass from her. To this day I don't know if it was intention or fate that caused the next series of events. As she handed me the glass, her other hand dipped forward and doused the belly of my white robe with dark wine.
"Oh, shit!" she cried out, and ran off to the kitchen to get something for cleaning it up. She returned just as fast with paper towels and pressed them to my belly.
"Here. Hand me a couple... I can feel it on my skin," I said, and untied my robe so that I could blot the spreading stain from the inside. I reached in, and so did she, her hand covering mine. I hadn't been thinking. I couldn't twist my hand the right way and I ended up with my palm against my belly. My unattended robe fell open, and my nipples stiffened from the slight and sudden chill.
"You elbow me, and I soak you with wine," she said. "Paybacks are hell, I guess."
"I guess." My voice was barely a whisper. Something was happening, and I couldn't tell what it was. It was like that silent moment you get asked a question whose answer will change your life forever. There's no awkwardness, no hesitation, but no going forward either. Complete silence, inside and out.
I could hear the mantel clock ticking as we stood there, eyes locked.
Maybe I should have been thinking of Richard. Of my life. Of what I would lose if I faced the desire that was rolling over me from out of nowhere. But Richard, just like in real life, was on leave, traveling somewhere outside any thought. He didn't exist. In that moment, he had never existed.
It seemed to last an eternity. And then the world was rushing back, along with tears. I'd just experienced a glimpse into bliss, and I was as much afraid it would pass me by as I was that it would consume me.
I was shaking as her arms moved inside my robe and around me. I wanted to say something... anything... that we shouldn't... that I was not that way... but I *was* that way, and I couldn't stop her.
I didn't *want* to stop her. I wanted her to go on. Shit, I just wanted her.
Somewhere inside, I think she was listening.
I let my eyes close for just a second, basking in the feeling of intimacy I'd almost forgotten. I felt like I was going someplace else, rushing through streets that should have been familiar but were new and strange and wonderful. And then I was falling, melting as sensation bled its way through my body.
God, it was powerful.
And then, oh God, her lips were on mine, her breath gently filling my mouth. Warmth filled my belly as her tongue, warm and wet, came searching for mine. I was in the throes of something much bigger than myself, and it was already too late for second thoughts.
I returned her kiss as my arms, as if on their own, found her body and wrapped it, pulling her into me. My head was in the clouds and my feet were buried and immobile as wave after wave of longing stretched me. My tongue found hers and tasted - exploring, desperate, hungry for more and more of this stranger, this woman who had awakened my sleeping passion.
It would be kind of me to say that I thought of Richard, that I fought what was happening to me. But it was so good, so unexpected - so perfect that when he came into my thoughts, I was too far gone to care. "Fuck that shit," was the only phrase that rang through my head.
And then he was gone.
We were dancing on a higher plane; a place where rules no longer applied. She released her kiss and left me swaying there, afraid to do anything that might break the spell. I felt her gentle hand take mine and opened my eyes. She was looking at me, large brown eyes full of glistening desire. There was no question in them.
She knew we had already flown past any reason to stop. We were making love just by the touch of her fingers to mine. We couldn't have stopped it any more than we could stop the sun from going down.
I followed her up the stairs, hand in hand, marveling at how graceful we seemed. It was like something out of a movie fantasy, all gauzy and ethereal, except it was real. I felt the floor under my feet, the smooth grain of the wood telling me that my life had just turned a corner, and there would be no going back.
She turned around, pulling me into the bedroom with both hands, smiling as she drew me close and kissed me, pushing the robe from my shoulders. It was so natural that I let it fall without thinking, barely noticing the cool air on my back. We sank to the bed, lips still touching, then parting as our tongues remained in a dance of lust.
Her own robe followed mine, and I took in a sharp breath as I felt her skin against mine for the first time. I let it back out as I moaned into her, and still the kiss went on, a soft, breathy sliding of tender flesh, transforming motion into heat.
My lips slid to her neck and down to her shoulder and I snuggled her closer as we fell over, our moans moving back and forth between us. It was like a kind of rapture, where time stopped and there was only us, and what we were creating.
Mason slid her body further up mine, and I felt my nipples harden again, stiff and more sensitive than I'd ever known. Something was happening to me, like a flower opening. It was something that had always been there, but had never found expression. It was lust and joy and reckless passion and desire all mixed with a hunger that had waited years for the promised feast. It wasn't changing my past... it was making it more and more irrelevant with each passing moment, with each chill of lustful pleasure that worked its way up my spine.
I was lost in it all, and I didn't want to be found.
My tongue, pointed and wet, licked her soft belly, my jealous lips kissing now and then to taste her sweet flesh. Her breath, short and ragged, whispered secrets to me where words had no place. My body answered hers, communing with her beyond thought or motion.
I'd never been with a woman. I never wanted to be without again.
Her voice spoke to me, almost making me come with satin seduction. "Lower, love. Lower. Now."
I was unable to resist her demand... I had known it before it was spoken, felt it in her legs as they stretched wide in lewd invitation. I lifted and slid down even more, my hair teasing her skin, smiling as she quaked from its touch. My lips lowered to her moist cavern, behind folds of velvet sex.
My God, her scent... it filled me, took me, owned me... and there was only wonder and a quivering, blessed twitch in my own cunt... wonder at such beauty, at intimacy that enveloped us, at how I could never have seen or felt such desire before.
I bowed my head in something like reverence, letting the tip of my tongue taste the nectar of her puffed and tender slit. Her hips rose and I pulled back, making it last, making it more than sex, more than lust. I could feel it warping her, craving amplified by teasing denial, and shuddered as I saw her hands clench in need.
There is a word, so common and usual, that describes what I felt. And yet, in that moment, it became so profound that it would never be the same for me again. It was gestalt, and it was sure. It was perfect...
Natural.
Of my nature.
It was a nature I would never be able to deny again.
My tongue dove into her, lips pressed tight, wanting to cover her and take her into me at the same time, sliding on her slippery wetness created for me and for our wanton need. My head rocked up and down and in circles, hands roaming her as her pleasure cascaded into me, making me feel what she was feeling, want what she was wanting.
Her legs jerked as my tongue flicked across her swollen, stiff clit, making my body dance to her time, urging me onward. Her head began to thrash as her cries filled the air. Her legs flew around my back and pulled me tight to her as her hands grabbed my head, grinding my face into her, bruising my lips.
I was a leech, drinking her juices, stuck to her, feeding from her, her body my only existence, her pleasure, mixed with mine in ways beyond knowing, my only purpose.
And then, magic happened.
She clenched tight, her entire body rolled into one moment as she clutched me to her, eyes wide and unseeing, mouth screaming an unheard song and then, soft and high, letting out a glorious and mournful wail that seemed so soft that it was imagination. Down and down it came, louder and louder, shaking and warbling and striking me deep in my pussy... and deep in my soul.
I exploded into her, my own scream muffled as my throat let loose a roar that felt as if I were being torn apart, waves and waves of expanding and ruthless pleasure ripping through me and reflecting back on itself, building higher and higher, taking me beyond the most primitive thought, where all there was, was Mason. Love. Bliss. Fucking. Cunt. Yesssss...
It was the edge of forever.
I didn't go home that night. I was already there.
---------------------------------------
Looking back, it's kind of sad. All good things come to an end eventually, even the things that are magical. I had known such wonder, such love, and such passion. But even the best we know can be lost. That's how it was for me. It was like a swift, beautiful moment that could never come again.
I have no regrets at all. My life will go on, and there will be more moments of magic, I'm sure. I know it like I know that tomorrow is coming.
As a matter of fact, I'm more than sure. Richard was angry about it at first, but I think that maybe he really did love me. The magic had gone for him, too, and he did his best to understand. I saw him last week at the flea market with a really cute woman hanging on his arm. I hope they make each other happy.
Now, if you'll excuse me, Mason is pulling me away. See what I mean? Magic is waiting to happen all the time, with barely a thought.
And who am I to say no to what comes so naturally?
