Girls Girls Girls
I was around the age of 5, possibly 6, when I first kissed a girl. Curly was my age and my best friend. Whenever I went to stay at my dad’s for the weekend I would go play with her. It started off quite innocently, we would play dress up and role play. We then moved onto mummy and daddy’s; I was always the mummy even when she really didn’t want to play daddy. We were in my dad’s bedroom and somehow knew that parents got into bed to kiss and cuddle. She would lay on top of me and we would kiss and grind against each other. We never spoke about it as it was never a big deal, we were just kids being silly. This went on for a while until one day we were almost caught, that was when we knew it was something we shouldn’t be doing.
When I was in high school I had a best friend; she wasn’t gorgeous or perfect or anything special to look at. We were inseparable. We actually tied ourselves together at one point as we never wanted to be apart. We would tell each other everything, we would speak on the phone after spending all day at school together, we went on holiday together… I don’t know about her but I loved her (in a friend way) more than I’ve ever loved a friend, more than I’ve ever loved a family member. We were at my house as it was another sleep over, when she told me she had never kissed anyone before. We talked about it for a while and she was asking me questions as I had been kissing people for years at this point. It was finally bed time and she was still talking to me about it. All of a sudden she leapt on my and began to kiss me very nervously. She had hard lips, lots of saliva and was very quick and clumsy. I kissed her back though and she eventually relaxed and began to kiss properly. We used tongues, she lay on top of me and we kept our hands to safe spots such as hips and face. We didn’t become girlfriends. We didn’t even talk about it. But this carried on for four years. We would only ever kiss. We once googled ‘how old do lesbians have to be to lose their virginity’.
Between all these years there were boyfriends and fall outs but we always stuck together and got through it all. One night she declared her love for me while crying her eyes out. To this day I still remember the look on her face; she knew what she finally was, and was scared by it. Again, it was never brought up again. If I could go back in time I would say something to her, ask her what it all meant… Did she want to be with me? Was she scared? Was she gay? I have to live my life never knowing. She could have been The One, my soul mate.
Our last time together was when we were 15 in Greece. We had a room to ourselves and couldn’t resist even though we knew we could get caught. We got really hot and heavy, both wanting to go further but too scared to do more than kiss. She was a great kisser by this time and was a fan of being on top. She was much smaller than me, very skinny, so she was light as a feather on me. We almost got caught by her sisters and that was the last time I ever kissed her. We eventually drifted apart as she was very into conformity, she wanted to be accepted and seen as ‘cool’. I was the weird mosher that was independent and didn’t give a shit what people thought. I haven’t spoken to her in about 8 years… that makes me so fucking sad. I am so tempted to message her and ask her all my questions. What’s the worst that could happen?
I’ve had best friends since her, but nothing has ever been the same as when I was with her.
