Millie glanced at me then, her face softening and she rubbed my leg obviously sensing I had picked up on her tense and hostile demeanour.

We are honey, I just never understood why she treated the people she fucked the way she did. But I guess this Tina person must’ve made her realise that there’s more to life than one night stands. Millie leaned over and planted a kiss on my cheek.
Just like you did for me.

I settled back in the seat, smiling from the kiss. Then Millies words sank in and the smile fell from my face; like you did for me. What was that supposed to mean, had Millie been like Bette and fucked her way around LA? What if this Bette character and Millie had been together, she hadn’t mentioned anything about their friendship having gone any further but then again I was beginning to learn that the world of lesbians didn’t actually have as well a defined line between friendship and ***** than I would’ve thought.

My mind continued to be unsettled with thoughts about Millies past until she pulled the car into a long, gravel drive. Up in front of us, lit up by floor lights was a great big bloody mansion. The old brick and hints of castellation around the roof and the stone gargoyles which leered and watched us, with expressionless and lifeless eyes made me feel even more uncomfortable. It was as if I had just been placed in some old fashioned horror movie and this was going to be the last place I would ever see. As Millie parked in the circular drive I almost expected to see a waiter with steely eyes and a slight hump to be waiting in the doorway, but there wasn’t.

Millie unbuckled herself, noticing I hadn’t made any attempt to move or take my eyes of the daunting building in front of us.

Hey Trix, are you ok? she asked, brushing her hand down my arm.

I jumped from the contact, shaking my head and strained a smile in Millies direction as I unbuckled myself.

Hey, wait.

Millie took my hand and pulled it towards her, the rest of me following as I came up close to the beautiful woman. I swallowed, looking into her warm brown eyes. This calmed me down a bit and I actually managed a real smile.
