A Matter of Trust: A Carlsbad Village Lesbian Romance

“I know that you would love it if Morgan declared that she is one-hundred percent gay but for whatever reason, she can’t do that. But on the plus side, at least she’s gay for you right now. And, trust me, if it’s one thing us really, really, really old ladies understand is that right now is the only moment that matters.”

“So, you think I should just shut up and enjoy what I have now?”

“I mean, yeah, but without the ‘shut up’ part,” Vanessa said. “You have every right to be concerned, Chloë, okay? And you need to keep voicing your concerns to Morgan. And if you want to be a little guarded with how things proceed between you and her, do that. But on the other hand, don’t automatically close yourself off to the possibility that this thing you have with Morgan might actually turn into something, even if she is reluctant to tag her sexuality with a definitive label. All relationships must contain a measure of trust. So, give her some trust.”

Chloë knew Vanessa was right. There were countless ways that her relationship with Morgan could end, none of them having to do with men. But right now, Chloë was happy with Morgan, ecstatic even. Right now, she could barely focus on anything else other than Morgan. Right now, she wanted to be with Morgan.

“You are truly wise,” Chloë said to Vanessa.

They were interrupted when a couple of customers came in, including a regular, Amy, who spent a few minutes chatting with Chloë and Vanessa before retreating to a window seat and pulling out her laptop.

“So, tell me,” Vanessa began after that mini-rush, “how did that meeting with your tattoo buddy go?”

“She was a big help,” Chloë told her and then provided more details of her discussion with Lexx. “But before you ask, no, I do not have a timeframe yet,” Chloë added. “I’l

l do it when I’m ready, whenever that is.”

Chloë added some more napkins to the dispenser near the POS.

“Besides,” she continued, “I still need to finish school first.”

Vanessa touched her arm, getting her attention.

“Hold on a sec,” Vanessa said. “Look, it’s good that you’re taking some business courses, really, and you should totally keep doing it, but to be honest, Chloë, I don’t think you necessarily need to wait until you get your degree.”

She went on, telling Chloë that in her opinion, running a small business was more about having common sense than anything. Excellent customer service; keeping expenses as low as possible; choosing the right suppliers; staying on top of trends and what customers want…

“You’re a super smart and driven girl,” Vanessa added. “And the experience you’ve gained here, especially with helping me manage this place, has more than prepared you to take on the responsibility of actually and truly running your own place.”

Chloë couldn’t help beaming. Such praise from Vanessa meant a lot to her.

“You think so?” she asked.

Vanessa nodded and then Chloë noticed that she seemed to be thinking about whether or not to say something.

“Listen…” Vanessa eventually said, “this is going to sound cryptic and I apologize but I don’t want to tell you too much right now.”

“Okaaay…” Chloë replied, curiosity causing her brow to wrinkle.

“Pretty soon I want to talk to you about something important; an idea I have. But first Megan and I still need to discuss some things. Once we’ve done that, I’ll talk to you then, okay?”

Chloë shrugged. She knew Vanessa well enough to realize that it would be pointless to try to get anything more out of her.

“Okay, dude,” she said, wondering what this was all about.

Chapter 24

“My god, you have the most beautiful eyes,” Morgan said that night in bed with Chloë.

Chloë chuckled.

“You’re only saying that because I have three fingers inside you, Miss Banks,” she whispered, her lips brushing Morgan’s ears as she spoke, sending even more electric thrills down Morgan’s spine.

Chloë did indeed have three fingers inside her. Three long, slender fingers that Morgan’s pussy was still spasming around after Chloë had made her come hard.

Fuck, I have never been this wet!

Morgan could feel her arousal streaming out of her, escaping around those glorious fingers and it was turning her on more, adding new layers atop the remnants of pleasure from the orgasm she’d just had. Her pussy reacted to her thoughts, squeezing itself around Chloë’s fingers even tighter. This made Chloë purr as she nuzzled Morgan’s neck and just like that, Morgan felt her clit being rubbed by Chloë’s thumb again.
