With the blame of being late being passed, Tanya takes the opportunity to introduce Jes to Onna and Traci. Adreonna was a five foot six Hispanic girl with long red hair and a "my shit don't stink attitude". She was thin with large breast. Traci was a dark skinned beauty. She had the type of body that every woman wanted. Traci spent most of her free time in the gym, she said that was the only way she could maintain her million-dollar body. She wore her hair in a wrap and liked to show a lot of skin when she dressed. Pleasant hellos were exchanged between Jes, Onna, and Traci as the host informed the group that their table was ready.
"So what did you have to do that made you late for our date?" Xavia
asked as the group sat down.
"We went by the go-go bar,"
Onna responded.
"Now it makes more sense to me. Who did you meet?" Xavia asked
with a prying smile.
"Nobody you know,"
Onna replied.
"What's her name?"
Xavia asked.
"I told you that it's nobody you would know."
While the girls conversed, Tanya looked over at Jes and saw the look
of confusion on her face. Tanya sat for a moment as the conversation
persisted, then she cleared her voice a few times to get the girls
attention. Once they looked at her, she motioned her eyes in the
direction of Jes. The girls took notice of Jes' facial expression then sat
silently for a moment.
"What, she doesn't know?" Xavia asked Tanya.
"No she doesn't," Tanya replied
"Oh, well I guess there's no time like the present for her to know,"
Onna said.
"Not now," Tanya said, "another time."
"No," Jes interrupted, "I think I would like to know now, I'm a big girl
I can take it."
"Well big girl," Xavia spoke with durability, "Traci and myself are
lesbians. Tanya and Onna are Bi-sexual. Tanya and I are also lovers."
Jes sat in silence for a moment.
"Jes," Tanya began, "I'm sorry for not telling you before. I was trying
to tell you before we got here, but your phone rang. And when you told
me about Gwen, I thought you were either a lesbian or you were BI-
sexual. I also thought you might have heard about my being BI-sexual
at work, but I guess not."
"Hey," Jes said with disbelief, "like I said, I'm a big girl. If that's what
you are and do, that's your business, but don't ever assume that
someone lives a certain lifestyle because you hear or see something. Like
my mama always said, believe none of what you hear and half of what
you see."
Tanya let out a sigh of relief.
"Now I thought we were going to have some drinks,"
Jes said to
change the subject and the stale atmosphere.
Tanya drove Jes home in silence. As they reached Jes' house, Jes
told Tanya that she had a wonderful time and she thanked her for the
invite.
"Jes, I really am sorry for not telling you earlier."
"It really is OK," Jes said as she opened the car door.
"Thanks," Tanya said as Jes got out of the car.
"For what?"
"For understanding,"
Tanya answered.
"It really was nothing to understand. You are who you are, I am who
I am and that's what matters."
"Who are you Jes?"
"I don't know, I don't know. But I'll tell you when I find out."
"You do that," Tanya replied, "I'll talk to you later."
