Swimming at the Crossroads

By: Fiona Loren (View Profile)

or was I in some wonderful dream? I ran my hand down to the base of her spine and pulled her closer to me as she kissed my ear and whispered, “Oh Fee.” “Oh Megan” I replied  and we would have scrambled around making love for an hour or more if it had been the right place, but it wasn’t, it was the cold concrete floored changing room of a high school swimming pool, not the Hyatt Hotel.

We kissed and we smiled, we exchanged words of love, and began a relationship that was to last for five years through college and beyond. That day was a giant crossroads in our lives, we had beaten the unbeatable foe and we had defined our sexual orientation for life.

Wonderful story, I love it all the way....... It made me realized I have felt this way since my teens. I have always repressed such feelings, discarding the idea as something that would go away, yet................ Thanks for your story.

I wanted more too! Ahhh ... there is nothing better than that first love, huh? I also had a crush on my high school friend and was scared to death to tell her. When I went to college, I finally figured out that I was gay. I called her on the phone one day and told her I had something to tell her. I said to her, "I'm gay ... and I'm in love with you." The few seconds that passed felt like an eternity, and then I heard "me too." Nothing like being validated. I never looked back after navigating that crossroads. Thanks for sharing!
