Alone Together

               Alone Together          Part  3

       Niki laid there quietly but was still shaking a little. This was one of the most frightening things that has happened to her but at the same time, it was wonderful. Why was there all this blood? She kept silent and trusted in Melissa to explain. Melissa kept stroking her hair and her head. It felt good to Niki. She reached up and grabbed Melissa's knee and pulled it close while resting her head on her lap. Melissa was worried but smiled when Niki held on to her leg. She was still shaking and afraid but she seemed to be taking comfort in Melissa's touch.

       Melissa: “You have never had sex with anyone, have you, my pet?”

       Niki: “no.”

       Melissa: “The blood is normal the first time you have sex. It will not happen again.”

       Niki: “.......But we didn't have sex, did we??”

       Melissa: “We didn't have sex the way you mean, no but it was a form of sex, nonetheless. Did you enjoy it, my pet?”

       Niki (blushing): “Yes.”

       Melissa: “Haven't you ever pleasured yourself like this?”

       Niki: “I have and it always feels good but I have NEVER felt anything like this. How did you do that? Will you show me, Please?”

       Melissa: “I will show you how to please yourself soon but you must do something, first.”

       Niki: “What?”

       Melissa: “You will move in with me, my pet and we will live together. It will be better. I will be able to please you more often, that way. Besides, It will save money. We can share our living expenses.”

       Niki: “Both of us? Together? I have never lived with anyone like that before. I don't think that I can. It will be to crowded.”

       Melissa knew that Niki was trying to justify the fact that she didn't want to live with her. She had come so far with Niki and she figured that she would not shy away from her at this point so she took another risk.

       Melissa (sternly but in a friendly way): “You will move in tomorrow, my pet. You do not have much to move so we can do it ourselves and it will not take long. We are still friends, aren't we?”

       Niki: “Yes....but........?

       Melissa didn't give her time to finish.

       Melissa: “Then it's all settled. After practice tomorrow, we will move you in. Now let's get dressed and we can have a little dinner.”

       Niki got up with a confused look but didn't say anything. She finished wiping herself off and went to grab her clothes. Melissa noticed that she always wore her “gym clothes” under her skirt and top. Here was another opportunity.

       Melissa: “Why do you wear your gym clothes under you regular clothes?”

       Niki: “I always do it this way.”

       It was short and not really an explanation but that's the way Niki still talked. She was getting better with Melissa but was still quiet and shy. An entire lifetime of being alone would not change overnight but Melissa knew things were getting better with her.

       Melissa: “That is silly. No one does that. They are all smelly. Put your gym clothes in my bag so we can leave. Aren't you hungry?”

       Niki: “Yes....but....”

       Melissa: “Now get dressed, my pet and we will get going. It is getting late.”

       Niki: “ok.”

       Niki was very nervous again. Her short skirt covered her ass well enough and her top almost reached her belt line but she felt strange. She had no underwear on. It was strange but this didn't bother her as much as being with someone. The clothing she wore for her competitions was like being in public with nothing BUT underwear on (her gym clothes). They didn't leave much to the imagination and she had gotten used to that. Melissa didn't think anything of it. She knew why and felt the same way as Niki did. She ran around all day playing volleyball in a bikini.

       

       Melissa: “Let me help you, my pet.”

       Niki: “ok. Thank you.”

       Melissa: “You are always polite, my pet. It is a good thing to be polite. I would like you always be polite to me, like that, “ok”?

       Niki: “Yes.”

       Melissa would work on her answers in time but this was a good start. Melissa was still naked while she helped Niki with her clothes. It didn't take long. She had only a skirt and top to wear. Melissa had Niki stand still while Melissa slowly dressed her. She put her top on form the front and and moved up against her while pulling it down in the back. Their bodies pressed up against each other. Niki jerked a little but nowhere near as bad as she had been. They looked into each others' eyes and Melissa could see trust growing. Niki was slowly beginning to trust Melissa. Melissa thought to herself, was this more than trust? She had no way of knowing for sure, herself. Melissa had spent much of her life alone, also, although not as much as Niki had. She only knew that Niki was becoming less and less frightened by her touch.

       Next, Melissa knelt down in front of Niki and put her skirt on. Niki put her hand on Melissa's should as she stepped up and into the skirt. Melissa pulled it up and while pretending to straighten it, she rubbed her hands across Niki's hips, ass and down her pussy. Niki stiffened up a little but when she touched her pussy, Niki unconsciously relaxed a little. Her mind said, “no”, but her body wanted more. Melissa sighed. Niki was getting closer and closer to what she wanted. Niki was SO PRETTY! Her body felt so damn GOOD! Melissa hesitated with her hands on Niki's hips and simply stared at the skirt that was between herself and Niki's pussy. Melissa thought, DAMN SKIRT! Niki backed up and went to Melissa gingerly while she began to dress herself.

       Melissa: “What is it, my pet?”

       Niki: “I should help. Isn't it what friends do?”

       Melissa (thinking fast): “You are kind, my pet but we have to hurry. The restaurant will close soon.”

       Niki looked down with a sad look and said: “Ok.”

       By the time Niki said “ok”, Melissa was dressed and they left the gym and waited by the bus stop. Melissa was worried that Niki would not be able to go out with only her skimpy clothes but it didn't seem to bother her as much as she thought it would. She was glad for it but confused. This pretty little woman was like a scared rabbit but this didn't bother her that much. Niki DID keep her legs together with her hand sin her lap while sitting. She kept wiggling on the bus. Her bare ass was sticking to the seat. She kept pulling her skirt down too but didn't say anything. Melissa was able to watch her this time while her attention was occupied with her skirt.

       Melissa kept staring at her thighs, legs and arms. She had such a beautiful body. It was strange to Melissa. Was it “ok” to be constantly desiring Niki's body like this. Melissa kept telling herself that she didn't really care if it was “ok” or not. She wanted this pretty little gymnast to herself. She smiled. Niki didn't even know how to please herself. She was now addicted to it and would have to let Melissa do it for her. She asked her to show her how but Melissa had no intention of explaining it to her. This would help to guide her down the path that she wanted her to go even though Melissa knew that it wouldn't take long for Niki to figure it out on her own, anyway.

       They sat down at a table in the restaurant with Niki's back against the wall and Melissa along side of her. This way Melissa could watch Niki and everyone else. There were not many people in there anyway. There were two couples and two other guys by themselves. Melissa was a little nervous, herself. She was still trying to get used to being in public with others. She had spent a lot of her life alone also but she was never TOTALLY alone like Niki has been. It was curious that she was more afraid of being in public than not having any underwear on.

       Niki began to squirm around a little again. Her bare ass was sticking to the seat like it was on the bus. The waitress came up and asked Them what they wanted. When she walked up, Niki jumped and put her head down. She was nervous and quiet. Melissa ordered for them.

       Melissa: “We will each have a glass of water. I will have the soup and sandwich.”

       Waitress (To Niki): “Would you like anything?”

       Niki just shook her head.

       Melissa: “She will share with me. Thank you.”

       Melissa was becoming more relaxed around other people since she has had Niki with her. Niki was still a little jumpy although the fact that she was out at all was progress. In truth, Niki was becoming attached to Melissa. At this point, Melissa was like a big sister to Niki but things were still changing.

       Melissa: “Why are you squirming around, my pet?”

       Niki: “I am sticking to the seat and now I am getting wet. It's running down and onto the chair. It feels good like before but strange. I don't want to do this here.”

       Melissa: “Relax, my pet. I don't want you to do that here either. You had better sit still and think of something else.”

       Niki: “Are you going to share your food with me again?”

       Melissa: “Of course, my pet. Many people share food with their pets.”

       Niki looked at Melissa strange but said nothing. Melissa had just taken another risk but she was getting anxious and horny by just looking at Niki. Niki was looking more and more at Melissa too but would still look away if Melissa looked at her too long.

       The waitress soon came back with the food and at Melissa's signal, the food was placed in front of her. Niki just watched the waitress leave, then watched Melissa eat. When Melissa finished, she pushed the food over to Niki. She looked at it for a second before eating. The sandwich was half eaten and the soup was almost gone. Niki continued on the sandwich and the soup where Melissa left off. There was plenty there and they were both full. They left the restaurant and walked to the bus stop and waited.

       Melissa: “How would you describe us, my pet. We are friends but is that all?”

       Niki: “We are friends but I am not sure how else to describe it. I want to be with you. You make me happy but I have never had a close friend, parents, brothers, sisters, or a boyfriend. I don't know how to answer you.”

       Melissa: “I enjoy being with you to. We certainly ARE friends but I think it's more than that. Have I made you happy with all the things I have done and all the things that I have decided what to do? Have I made you happy with all the things that I have had you do?”

       Niki: “Yes.”

       Melissa: “Do you think that you are like a pet to an owner? Is that Love?”

       Melissa was taking another risk. She was confident that Niki would accept this idea. She was naive but not stupid. She had NO idea what friendship and love was. Melissa knew but even she didn't have any experience with this kind of relationship.

       Niki: “I don't think that you own me but maybe it IS love. I am not sure.”

       Melissa: “I am sorry. I did not mean “own” in the literal sense. I simply meant that if you do what I tell you to that it makes you happy. I believe it is love too. Can we stay together? Please?”

       Niki smiled. It was not that sad smile that she has always given but it was a genuine happy smile. Melissa reached out and gently grabbed Niki's hand to hold it. Niki jerked her hand away and jumped. Nineteen years of being alone was not going to be washed away in a few days. Melissa looked down and smiled at Niki and she stared at her for that second of nervousness. She made no more attempts to touch Niki but she couldn't help but stare. Niki's body was very well toned and slightly muscled. She was a true athlete.

       Niki looked at Melissa the same way. Niki stared more because she always walked slightly behind Melissa and followed her. Niki kept remembering Melissa's body in the shower. She kept longing to touch her but she was afraid and Melissa didn't seem to want her to touch her so all Niki could do is stare and wonder. She wanted to know what Melissa felt like. Were her breasts like her own? Was her ass and pussy like hers? How did she make her feel like that in the shower.....what did she call it..........?....an “orgasm?” She told herself that she would try again when she was alone. Could she even do it by herself? She never has been able to before.

       Melissa and Niki went their separate ways and both sent home. When Niki got home, She stripped of her clothes and lay down on the mattress on the floor that she slept in. She thought that it would be nice to live with Melissa. She could be with her more and like she said, it would save them both money. The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea. Was she Melissa's “pet”? She did everything Melissa told her and it made her happy. Niki never had a pet but she knew that people loved their pets. It was confusing but as she reached down to her own pussy, she forgot all about it and figured that she would learn about it soon enough.

       Niki touched her pussy. It was already wet. She had never been that wet before but the more she remembered Melissa in the shower, the wetter she got. She pushed her fingers into her pussy and moved them around. They went in and out. It was not conscious thought. Niki tried to get the same feeling as Melissa gave to her earlier. It felt so good! In and out.....in and out. Niki got wetter and wetter. She did what she always did whenever she finger fucked herself and it felt good but it was NOT like Melissa had done. Finally she stopped and lay there panting. She would ask Melissa to show her how to do it tomorrow.

       Author's note: I know that Niki would instinctively know how to bring herself to an orgasm but go with me on this. It will not be a large part of the story.

       Niki fell asleep with Melissa on her mind. Was this “love”? Melissa laid back in her own bed a mile away and fingered herself to several orgasms. She feel asleep with Niki's beautiful naked body on her mind.

       They both arrived at the gym the next day. The gym was their whole life which is why they were so good in their performances. They were both always alone and what little time they had was spent working. Niki walked in a saw Melissa there stretching. Niki stared at her when suddenly she looked up, smiled and waved at Niki. Niki gave Melissa a quick wave and looked away. Melissa smiled. At least Niki had waved. She thought that Niki might have been frightened away by being considered a pet.  Melissa made a mental note to bring the subject up again and find out what she thought about the strange idea.

       They both spent most of that day busy practicing; Niki with her gymnastics and Melissa playing volleyball. Niki spent every chance that she could to watch Melissa. She had a wonderful body. Melissa was toned well and Niki had to admit to herself that Melissa was beautiful. She wanted to be with her and touch her. She longed for the end of the day to meet Melissa in the shower.

       As the day went on, Melissa would look at Niki and notice that she didn't look away quite so much. Niki even waved a couple of times. Melissa would always smiled and wave back. Niki teamates noticed too.

       Teammates: “Do you know her, Niki?”

       Niki (Smiling): “Yes. Her name ins Melissa. She is my friend.”

       Teammates: “We don't believe you. You don't have any friends. You only talk to us.”

       Niki (scowling): “She is too my friend! Leave me alone.”

       Niki walked away with tears in her eyes. Her teammates were not really friends but they had always respected her and her abilities. She walked over to the bench and sat down by herself. She was embarrassed and hurt. They just looked at her for a few seconds and walked away. They really didn't care that much and were confused at Niki's reaction. They had NO idea of her history and the fact that she lived her life totally alone. She was always friendly at the gym. Niki just sat there with a hurt look on her face and it didn't go unnoticed.

       Melissa saw her sitting there and wondered why she wasn't practicing and why she had a sad look on her face. She wasn't even watching her that much. She would glance up at Melissa once in a great while and look down as before when Melissa looked at her. She walked over to Niki and sat down. Niki looked up as Melissa sat next to her. Niki had been crying. She looked like a lost puppy. She had an entire new wave of feelings that she couldn't deal with.

       Melissa: “What's wrong, my pet?”

       Niki: “The others don't believe that we are friends. They don't believe me.”

       Melissa: “Do you want me to go tell them that we are friends?”

       Niki: “NO! Forget that I even said anything.”

       Melissa: “Ok. I won't do anything but I am a little angry that they hurt you.”

       Niki (smiling): “Thank you. I will go back and practice. It will take my mind off it.”

       Melissa put her hand on Niki's knee and said: “I like you. I will always want to be your friend. I will always BE your friend unless you want me to leave you alone.”

       Niki: “Can we meet in the shower later like we did yesterday?”

       Melissa: “Only if you say “please”.

       Niki got a sad look and said: “Please may we meet in the shower like we did yesterday?”

       Melissa: “Yes, my pet. Meet me later. Since you've asked so nicely, I have a surprise for you.”

       Niki (Smiling a happy smile): “What is it? Please, tell me?”

       

       Melissa (smiling): “I will not spoil the surprise, my pet. Be patient. Now get beck to your practice and forget about what those others said. You are my friend and more.”

       Niki jerked a little at Melissa's touch but stayed there. Niki sat there and looked up at Melissa for a few seconds. She leaned over and gave Melissa a short hug, then got scared and ran off. Melissa hugged her back and let go when she pulled away. Melissa smiled. Niki was getting braver and accepting Melissa's touch, even in public. Melissa got up and glared at Niki's teammates as she walked back to the court. They just looked at Niki as she got up on the balance beam. They went back to their own work. They had a lot of respect for Niki's abilities.

       Niki got to the showers earlier than usual. There were even a couple of girls in there when she arrived but they were finished and about to leave anyway. She wasn't sure what to do. Melissa said that she had a surprise coming and she discovered that she was unusually happy and anxious. She simply sat down on the bench and waited. She didn't want to go into the shower, yet. It might spoil things for Melissa. It was a strange feeling for Niki. Up until she met Melissa, she was not only alone, she would go out of her way to avoid people. Now she was actually exited to meet with someone....Melissa. Melissa was right. Everything that she wanted Niki to do, made her happy. She sat there impatiently staring at the door.
