Lesbian Love: Virgins and Cheerleaders Read Free Page B

stuff, but no line on any drugs yet?”
    I shook my head. “Early days yet, Morgan. You know what these druggies are like, they need to get to know you and trust you before they make a move.”
    “That’s true. Anything that looks likely, arouses your suspicions?”
    “Nothing, sorry. It’s all kosher so far. But if it’s there, I’ll find it.”
    “I know you will.” He looked grave, thoughtful. “There’s something about this case that tells me that Brian Ginsberg could be right. Keep digging, and thanks again.”
    I left the office and Gale Margolis ambushed me as I was about to leave.
    “You got a moment Sarah?”
    “Sure, Gale, what is it?”
    “What’s it like going back to Senior High, the second time, I mean?”
    I laughed. “Not much different to the first time, I guess. Except that this time I know it’ll soon be over and I’ll be chasing down some scumbag who’s cheating on his wife or ripping off his employer.”
    “Have you made any boyfriends yet? Any handsome jocks broke your heart?”
    “Hey, Gale, give me a chance, they’re all seventeen, not much future there. Besides, I’ve been really busy.”
    I told her about the classes, the hockey team, and the cheerleading squad that I had decided to join when I went back to school on Monday.
    “So you’re going to be wearing one of those ditzy little cheerleading dresses, Sarah?”
    I laughed again. “I guess so, I hadn’t thought about it much.”
    “What are they like, the other cheerleading girls?”
    My face must have gone beet red. “Er, they’re fine, no problems.”
    She looked at me intently for a few moments. Whatever else she was, Gale Margolis was no fool.
    “I see, like that is it?”
    “Like what, Gale?”
    “Who is she, the head cheerleader?”
    I paused to get my wits together, but what the hell, I’d go redder than ever if I tried to deny it.
    “Yes, Alexis Eisenberg, she was real nice to me on the first day at school.”
    “I’ll be she was,” Gale said with a grin.
    “It wasn’t like that, she was just...” I thought about the golden Alexis, long legged, beautiful, confident, that lovely warm smile, those inviting red lips.
    “Sarah, honey, I’ve lost you, you’re wandering. What were you saying?”
    I came crashing back to the present. “She was just nice, Gale.”
    “And beautiful, I expect, with perfect teeth and skin, long legged, clothes and makeup perfect, hair to die for?” she continued.
    “Yes, that’s right,” I breathed, thinking of her.
    I was silent for a minute, thinking of her while Gale sat waiting for me to come back to Earth.
    “You’re not gay, are you, Sarah?”
    My face felt hotter than ever, damnation, why did I always give away my innermost thoughts?
    “No, of course not.”
    Now it was her turn to be silent. What was on her mind? Then it hit me like a thunderbolt, why hadn’t I thought about it before?
    “You’re a lesbian, aren’t you, Gale?”
    She nodded, her face serious. “I think so, yes, although I’ve never, well, slept with a woman. But yes, I do prefer to think of women than men.”
    Christ, what a life, not knowing whether you really lusted after one gender or another. I was glad I was firmly heterosexual. I was sure of that, at least. But shit, every time I thought of Alexis my thoughts were anything but hetero, they were downright lesbian lustful dyke. But I wasn’t a lesbian, couldn’t be. I liked being with guys, was looking for the right one to partner with and settle down for life. Someone like, who? But the only face I could bring to mind was Alexis. I realized that Gale had got up from behind the reception desk and was standing next to me.
    “What was that, Gale?”
    “Could you get me a photo of you in your schoolgirl uniform, Sarah?”
    “Christ, Gale, what is this, I’m not available, you know.”
    “I know that. But what if I was Alexis, what then?”
    My thoughts drifted again, then I realized that I could feel her breath on my face, she
