Chapter 8

Martinis

A week later, Vivian met Savannah after work one evening. They both worked late hours, and a lot of live music venues were close to Later Tonight, so Viv had been able to coordinate the meet up quite easily.

Viv had suggested they try the martinis at one of the coolest new bars to have opened in the neighborhood, under the guise of research. She reasoned with Savannah that she needed to stay on top of the competition if she wanted to be the best bartender in town.

After being seated in a quiet booth, and after one round of very strong drinks, Viv found herself staring into Savannah’s eyes again. Vivian felt like she was having an out of body experience.

“Why don’t you let me take you out some time?”

“We are out,” Sav had replied.

“Yes, but you know what I mean.”

Vivian didn’t know why she was pushing her luck. She was getting along great with Savannah, and she really liked being her friend. But Viv couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more to explore, and that if Sav just opened her eyes to the possibility of falling for a woman, things could be perfect.

“Oh yeah?” Savannah laughed. “Oh wait, you’re serious.” Sav was a lightweight when it came to alcohol. The martini was strong, and Viv could tell that she was a little bit tipsy. But it felt like the right time to let her guard down and hoped that Sav would feel the same way.

“I am serious, Sav. I think you’re so beautiful.” Vivian decided to run with the truth, but she didn’t want to be too pushy.

“Really?” Savannah almost squealed.

“I do.” Their eyes locked, and Viv felt how attracted she was to the woman before her.

“I mean. I’m straight, Viv, you know that. Why can’t we just be friends?”

“Why can’t we be something more?”

“It’s not you,” Sav insisted, and Viv felt immediately deflated. “It’s just, I like men. I always have.”

“I get it, really I do, and I won’t push it any further, I promise,” Viv said. “But can I ask you one final question on the topic?”

“Sure,” Sav said, smirking at her friend.

“Well, you can like men, and like women too.”

“That’s true. But that’s not a question!” Sav reprimanded.

“Okay, okay. Well, I guess my point is that it’s not just about sex,” Vivian tried to explain, but she didn’t feel like she was doing a very good job. “For me, it wasn’t immediate, or easy. I didn’t wake up one day and all of a sudden I wanted to have sex with someone’s vagina. It was more than that. It was that I didn’t hate the idea. So, I kept thinking about it, and I realized that I wanted my life to be adventurous. I wanted to explore the side of me that wanted to kiss a woman, to touch a woman. I wanted to give myself permission to enjoy my sex life, wherever that led.”

Sav sipped her martini and avoided looking at Viv directly. Eventually she said in a much quieter voice, “That’s still not a question.
