Chapter 2

“I’m so sorry. I know it probably doesn’t help, but both of my parents basically disowned me when I came out. It’s tough.”

An awkward silence settled in between us. I wasn’t sure what to say, but luckily, or unluckily, my phone went off.

“Shit. I need to go. My mom needs help getting ready for bed. I guess queer daughters are good for something.”

“I know you’ve only had a couple of drinks, but are you okay to drive?”

“I am, thanks, but I walked up here.”

“Is it far? Care to have some company?”

“Uhm…it’s just a few blocks, but…yeah, that would be nice.”

We made sure we were settled with the bartender and headed out. We chatted as we walked, just making small talk. She had linked her arm through mine, and it felt nice being close to someone and having someone to talk to. Piper was sweet and had a great sense of humor. She was the type of person who made you feel like you’d known each other for years.

Before we knew it, we were back at my mom’s house. Piper chose to sit on the front porch and wait for me to get Mom taken care of.

When I returned, I handed Piper a beer and took a seat next to her on the steps.

“How was your mom after what happened earlier?” Piper asked.

I shook my head, “Like nothing happened.”

“Maybe you can have a talk with her tomorrow.”

“Maybe. Or maybe Carl can visit again, and they can both tell me how I’m partially responsible for the collapse of society.”

“So tell me about yourself, Piper. How is life in the big city of Fairton?”

“Well, as exciting as a big city of 2,000 people can be.”

“What do you do? Do you work here?”

“I do…now, at least. I was a nurse, but the hospital in Granton closed. Most of the nurses got jobs at the hospital in Ellis Pointe, but they only had so many positions to fill. I was one of the unlucky ones. So now… fuck, I work in the parts department at the John Deere dealer outside of town.”

“I’m sorry. That has to be rough?”

“Yeah… I lost my house, so I had to move in with my aunt in her little apartment. Thank god she puts up with me.”

“What about your parents? No help from them, I assume?”

“Nope. Like I said, we haven’t spoken since I came out.”

“It’s their loss. Well…maybe. I haven’t turned out to be much of a success.”

“Success isn’t the measure of how important a person is. As long as you’re a good person, and I get the impression that you are, that should be enough.”

“I’m sure if I were straight, they could overlook my other failures.”

I could see the sadness on her face. I reached out and placed my hand on her thigh, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Piper looked up at me and gave me a soft smile.

After a long moment of silence, Piper spoke.

“Listen to me… boo hoo-ing your fucking ear off. I’m sorry. We just met, and I shouldn’t be dumping all my shit on you. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. We all need to vent. I did the same to you at the bar.”

“I guess we’re even then. I should let you go. You need to sleep so you can help your mom tomorrow.”

“I’ll be okay. Stay.”

Piper stood to leave, and I got up with her.

“It was nice meeting and talking with you, Delaney.”

I held my arms open, hoping she’d come in for a hug. She grinned and leaned in, but the hug was quick.

“Let me give you a ride home, at least?”

“I don’t want to bother you. It’s not that far of a walk.”

“Piper looked at me and bit her bottom lip.

“You should let me give you a ride.”

She hesitated, but finally gave in. “OK… you win.”

“Yay! I’ll be right back.”

I took our bottles in and grabbed my keys. I walked back out and unlocked my SUV. As we approached, I opened the passenger door for my new friend and closed it once she was seated. I hopped in and we took off.

I glanced over and saw Piper looking oddly at me and I couldn’t help but nervously smile.

“What?” I asked, stopping at the stop sign.

“I should have walked.”

“Nonsense. Which way?”

Piper sat in the passenger seat, gnawing at her bottom lip while staring out the window, not saying a word.

“Earth to Piper. Which way?”

I turned left and drove for a few blocks until Piper directed me to take a right. I drove for several more blocks and Piper told me to turn left. I then kept driving until the houses grew farther and farther apart and there were just acres and acres of corn fields. I was starting to question where we were going when Piper told me to turn left.

“Right up here… at that opening.”

I thought it was odd, but I did as she said. I pulled into an opening in a corn field. It was basically a worn dirt path that went back into the field. I wondered if her apartment was actually in an old farmhouse or something? After a short distance, the path opened to a clearing. A trio of grain bins occupied a good portion of the clearing, which was surrounded by corn that was as tall as my SUV. I was really confused.

“Pull over there and park.” She said.

I stopped and put the car in park. This was weird and I was starting to feel a little concerned.

I turned and asked, “Piper? Why are we…”

Before I knew what was happening, Piper was out of her seatbelt and up over the center console.

She kissed me. My god, she kissed me, and it was incredible. I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her back. Her hand found the back of my neck and held me to her. We made out until I had to separate to take a breath.

“Holy shit… so you didn’t bring me out here to murder me?”

Piper laughed, “Absolutely not. But I should have walked.”

“You can’t kiss me like that and then say you should have walked.”

“Oh yeah? Would you like another kiss?”

I nodded my head and leaned forward to meet her. We kissed again, and this time I reached behind her and pulled her head to me. I couldn’t get enough of her, and judging by the way she was kissing me, she felt the same way.

She had caught me off guard so much that I forgot I still had my seatbelt on. I felt Piper reach over and fumble around next to me, then the seatbelt released. I quickly worked it off of me and returned to kissing her.

As our lips wrestled, I felt her hand on my cheek. Her palm was soft and warm, but it didn’t stay on my cheek for long. She slowly slid it down onto my neck, running her thumb over my chin and onto the other side of my neck. She gently squeezed her hand around my throat, running her hand up and down my neck.

My panties were a mess, and I was incredibly turned on. I then felt her hand on my upper chest as it slid down over the swell of my breast.

I broke away from her and leaned back against my door.

“Piper…get out.” She looked at me confused.

Without breaking eye contact, I pressed the button for the rear lift gate. As it started to open, a smile spread across her face.

We both hurried out of the car and around to the back. Luckily, I had the third row folded flat already, so once I crawled into the back, I reached forward and tugged the straps at the back of the second row seats. They both fell forward, opening up more room for us. I reached up, pressed the button to close the lift gate, and moved next to Piper.

“Now…where were we?”

I grabbed her hand and placed it back on my chest. While her hand squeezed my breasts, I reached out and pulled Piper to me and kissed her some more.

Our hands were all over each other. Mine were running over her hips and thighs and back to her wonderfully thick ass. Meanwhile, her free hand was up under my top, working on tugging it upwards. I leaned back enough to allow her to get my shirt off, and her eyes immediately went to my full chest.

I wanted her so badly, and I needed to feel her hands on my bare flesh, so I managed to reach back and unfasten my bra. You might think a Ford Explorer has plenty of cargo room, but it gets pretty tight when two middle-aged women are trying to fuck each other in the back of it.

As soon as my girls were free, Piper’s mouth was on them. She was devouring my tits; sucking and softly biting my firm nipples and tracing her tongue all over.

“Fuck, that feels so good,” I panted.

I didn’t feel that it was fair that she still had her shirt on, so I began taking it off. Piper took a pause from sucking my nipples to remove her shirt and bra. While she was doing that, I was pulling my jeans off. Piper followed my lead, and soon we were both completely naked, in the back of my SUV, in the middle of a cornfield.

The only light we had was the moonlight streaming in through the tinted windows, but it was still enough to know that I loved what I saw. Her body was soft and curvy, much like mine, and she felt amazing as she pressed against me.

We let our hands explore each other while we kissed. I worked my way down over her belly and ran my fingers through her curly bush. Piper parted her legs, and I soon discovered that she was drenched.

She moaned into my mouth as I slid a finger between her slick lips. I worked my digit up and down her slit, stopping briefly to massage her clit before sliding down and entering her. Piper’s hips were rolling in time with my fingers, and her breathing was becoming heavy.

I was so turned on that I couldn’t help slipping my other hand between my legs and rubbing my soaking wet pussy. That didn’t last long though, as Piper realized what I was doing and took over.

I could feel the smile on her lips as her fingers found my furry mound. My hair was damp and matted from my arousal, and my little nub was begging for her touch.

Both of us were thrusting our fingers into each other’s needy holes and rubbing each other’s clits. The sounds of heavy breathing, moaning, and sloppy wet pussy filled the car. Our bodies were covered in sweat, and I could feel my orgasm building quickly.

“Don’t fucking stop!” I ordered.

“Same, baby…I’m so fucking close.” She replied.

It only took a few more thrusts before my orgasm washed over me. I cried out as I came, Piper’s fingers still inside of me with her thumb pressing on my nub. It was just a moment later that I heard her cumming too.

As the initial bliss passed, we both collapsed onto our backs. We were both breathing heavily, attempting to catch our breath, when I heard Piper let out a few broken laughs before breaking out into full-on laughter.

“What’s so funny?” I asked, giggling.

“Oh my god….hahaha…holy shit…that felt amazing! It’s been so long, I just…I just feel giddy is all.”

“That WAS amazing. It’s been quite a while for me too.”

Laying there, I soon realized how hot it was inside my car. I crawled up to reach into the front to open the lift gate. I fumbled with the key fob and finally hit the button, but not before I felt a smack on my ass.

“If you’re going to put that big thing in my face, that’s the risk you take.” Piper joked.

“Did you just call my ass big?”

“I did. And I love it! Your ass is great, Delaney.”

“Why, thank you. Yours is very nice too.”

I moved back next to her and gave her a kiss.

“Mmm, me too, but I’d better get back in case Mom needs me.”

Piper gathered her clothes and crawled out of the back of my car. I grabbed the stuff I could find and joined her. The cool night air felt refreshing on my naked skin. It was a shame we had to get dressed.

Once we were clothed, Piper directed me to where she actually lived, and I dropped her off. I gave her a kiss goodnight, hoping I’d see her again.

It was Monday, which meant Mom had her first physical therapy appointment. Thankfully, there was a physical therapist in Granton, which meant we didn’t have to drive an hour to Ellis Pointe.

Granton was a town of about 15,000 residents. They provided services to a handful of smaller surrounding communities. A couple of grocery stores, a small Walmart, a small clinic, and some other medical offices such as physical therapy and dentistry. That was about all it had going for it, though.

Mom’s appointment lasted about an hour, and afterwards we stopped off and had lunch at a local restaurant. Before leaving Granton, Mom waited in the car while I ran in to pick up a few things for dinner.

On the 10-minute drive home, I attempted to bring up the situation that had happened earlier the day before, but Mom said she was tired and didn’t want to get into it. Fine.

Mom napped when we got home, so I turned on some tv. I was scrolling through the cable guide, looking for something interesting, but there wasn’t much that caught my eye. I picked something to zone out to, but my thoughts soon drifted to last night.

One-night stands were so not my thing. I had never really been into the idea, and at almost 40 years old, the idea was even less appealing. I had to admit though, last night had been fun. It had been a year since Staci and I had broken up, and not once in that year had I been with anyone, let alone even gone on a date. Just me and my trusty vibrator.

It seemed like Piper had fun too. I wondered though, how normal this was for her? Was there something there or was it because I had just happened to be there that night? I guess it really didn’t matter. I’d be gone soon and most likely never see her again. I had fun, I didn’t regret it, but I’d probably not do it again, so it was best to just let it go.
