After Hours 
            by Ann Douglas

        Susan Ann Walsh sat quietly in her six year old Ford Escort
in the parking lot for Krazy Kate’s Video Store.  For the third time
in the last half-hour, the forty-six year old high school history
Teacher checked her watch.  Then the short haired redhead
looked out the window to the small sign on the store’s door that
listed the hours of operation.  The store closed at eight o’clock,
her watch had read seven fifty.

        The short woman, only five three, got out of her dark blue
coupe and quickly entered the small establishment.  The store
itself was rather unpretentious, a far cry from the mega
franchises that dominated the video market these days.  In fact,
Krazy Kate’s carried less than a third of the selection of most
stores.  What it did have, was a very loyal clientele and an owner
who not only carried the latest popular hits, but many little known
films that couldn’t be found anywhere else. 

        Susan walked over to the row of the latest new releases and
picked up the newest of romantic comedies.  She pretended to be
reading the back of the box.  Actually, she was waiting for the girl
behind the counter to finish with the thirty something man ahead
of her.  

        The man paid for his rentals and bid the girl a good night. 
No sooner had he exited the door, Susan moved up to where he
had been standing.

        “Hi,” the young girl who Susan guessed wasn’t more than
nineteen smiled.  “What can I do for you this evening?”

        “I’m looking for Katherine Harrison,”  she answered.  “Is she
in?”

        “Oh, you mean Kate,”  the girl who said her name was Elisa
replied.  “I’m afraid she wasn’t feeling to well and went home a
little early.  Can I help you with anything?”

        The history Teacher took a long good look at the young
woman.  She was about her height, with long shoulder length hair
tied back in a ponytail.  What was unusual about that was that her
hair was a vivid purple. Additionally, Elisa had six small earrings
along the edge of her left ear and five in her right.  Susan
supposed that the sixth earring was the one on the right side of
her nose.  

        The teenager wore a cut off version of a Krazy Kate’s
T-shirt.  One that looked to be at least a size too small from the
way it pressed against her braless breasts, the nipples of which
were clearly visible.  In the middle of her stomach, an area
exposed by the cut off, was a small golden ring attached to her
belly button.  A pair of faded jeans, cut way too short completed
her ensemble.

        Susan was all too aware of the current rages among young
people. There were at least three girls in the senior class who wore
jewelry much like Elisa’s.  For all the conservatively dressed woman
knew, Elisa might have been one of her students a year or so ago.

        “No, thank you,”  Susan said somewhat apologetically. “I ... er
... had some personal business with Katherine.  I’ll come back
another time.”

        The blue dressed woman had turned to leave and had
actually gone a few steps when Elisa called after her.

        “Are you Susan Walsh?”  she asked.

        “Excuse me?”  the redhead said as she turned back around.

        “Kate left a package for a Susan Walsh, is that you?”

        “Actually, yes.”  she said a bit hesitantly.

        “It’s in the back room, wait here a minute and I’ll get it for
you.”

        Elisa turned and disappeared into the store room for a few
moments.  When she reemerged, she was carrying a small paper
bag with “Sue” written across it in red marker.  From the size and
shape of the bag, it was obvious that it contained a few video
tapes.  Previously, the bag had been used to carry Kate’s lunch back
and forth to work.

        “Here we go.”  Elisa said as she handed the bag over the
counter.

        At that moment, it became obvious that the makeshift lunch
container had been used one times too many as the bottom of the
bag ripped open.  From the large tear, three videos tumbled to the
hard tile floor.

        Susan watched in horror as they landed at her feet.  A look
of total embarrassment filled her face.

        “I’m so sorry,”  Elisa said as she rushed around the counter. 
“Let me pick them up for you.”

        “No!”  Susan called out in panic. “I mean,  I can do it.”

        It was too late.  Elisa was already by her side, looking down
at the tapes.

        Picking them up, the nineteen year old read off the titles.

        “Teenage Lesbian Slumber Party, Lesbian High and Lesbian
Loving Teacher.”  she read silently as she put them on the counter.  

        The school Teacher was mortified.  That she was a lesbian
was a secret she had guarded for years.  As bad as it would’ve
been for her career for that to come out , it was nothing compared
to the firestorm that would’ve erupted if the school board
discovered her constant fantasies about the young girls she taught
history to.

        Susan had never, ever acted on any of those fantasies.  In
fact, she had gone out of her way over the years, to never be put
in a position where desire, opportunity and the weakness of the
flesh might combine to allow a dangerous incident.     

        A little over a month ago, Susan had met Katherine at a
lesbian bar outside of town.  They were pretty close in age and had
formed a quick friendship.  A friendship that had quickly led to the
bedroom.  They knew they weren’t in love and that their sex had
been recreational.  But for the moment it had been enough.  

        When Katherine had learned that Susan was a high school
Teacher, she said that it must be like being a kid working in a
candy store.  Susan had replied that it was almost exactly the
opposite.  She had a weakness for young girls she admitted, and
because of it had to always be on her guard.  In fact, she wouldn’t
even take a turn at gym duty, worrying that she might get caught
spending all too much time staring at all those lovely young bodies
on display in the showers and locker room. 

        What they also discovered upon talking about their lives,
was that Katherine had a nephew at Susan’s school.  He wasn’t in
any of her classes, but Katherine mentioned that he was
interested in the summer intern program but that all his teachers
had already nominated other students.  Susan had said that since
she hadn’t yet promised anyone, she would be glad to sponsor
Katherine’s nephew.  All he had to do was bring her his application.

        Katherine was overjoyed.  In appreciation, she had offered,
since she owned a video store, to get her new friend any lesbian
tapes she might like to help her enjoy her secret fantasies.  An
offer Susan had readily accepted.  She was supposed to pick up
the tapes tonight. 

        Elisa acted as if having a middle age woman picking up tapes
of teen lesbians was the most natural thing in the world.  She got a
new bag from around the counter and dropped the first two tapes
in the bag.  Then she took another look at the copy of Lesbian
High.

        “This is a pretty awesome movie,”  she said as if she was
discussing Gone With The Wind. “I’ve seen it twice.”

        “You’ve seen it?”  Susan asked awkwardly.

        “Sure, I’ve seen just about all the girl films Kate has in the
back.  That’s one of the perks of working here.”

        She dropped the tape into the bag and handed it to Susan.

        “No need to be embarrassed,”  Elisa said with a smile. 
“Women have needs too, just like guys.”

        “I guess I never looked at it like that.”  Susan said as she
clutched the paper bag.

        She started for the door, then stopped. 

        “Can I ask you something?”  she said.

        “Hey, I’m an open book,”  Elisa smiled. “Ask away.”

        “What was it about that film that you liked so much?”

        “Well you might think it a little kinky, but watching the
students get it on with the teachers,”  Elisa said.  “I used to
fantasize about that all the time.  In fact there was this one
Teacher I had, God she made me wet just sitting in her class
watching her.”

        Susan had to take a big breath just to reassure herself that
her heart was still beating.

        “You didn’t happen to go to RFK, did you?”  Susan asked with
trepidation.

        “No, I went to Jefferson High across town,”  the girl
answered.  “Why?”

        Susan couldn’t believe the next words out of her mouth.

        “I teach history at RFK.”

        “You’re joking, right?”  Elisa asked.

        “No, I’m not,”  Susan said, finding it easier to say it the
second time.  “I can show you my ID to prove it.”

        “No, I believe you,”  Elisa said as she ran her hand through
her purple hair.  “Damn, I knew I went to the wrong school.” she
laughed.

        Even Susan had to smile at her comment.

        “Do you and your girlfriend like to watch those video’s
together?”  Elisa asked, taking a few steps closer.

        “I ... I don’t have a girlfriend.”  Susan admitted, wondering
why she was still here and not on her way home.  

        “You just watch them alone?” Elisa went on.

        Susan’s silence answered the question.

        “That’s sad,”  Elisa said.  “So you watch those films alone and
think about your students.  And then you ...”

        Susan’s silence was now joined by a bright red
embarrassment.    

        “Hey, Teach, there’s no need to turn red on me,”  Elisa said
with a smile.  “I’m sure most of the people I know would think me
pretty strange, getting wet over forty year old women.  But then
again most of them think I’m pretty strange to begin with.”

         “I don’t think you’re strange,”  Susan said.  “I think it’s that
you’re more of a free spirit.  I can remember what that was like. 
Back in the Stone Age.”

        “Cute and a sense of humor too,”  Elisa quipped.  “This has to
be my lucky night.”

        “Lucky night for what?”  Susan asked, almost afraid to hear
the answer.

        “For what?”  Elisa repeated.  “Can’t you feel it? The magic in
the night.  Call it fate, or kismet, or God having a sense of humor. 
But it can’t be just a cosmic accident the two of us being here
right now.”

        “I think I’d better get going.”  Susan said as she started to
turn.

        “Don’t you think there are better ways to spend tonight than
frigging to a lez flick?”

        Susan was frozen in place as Elisa moved closer.

        “Don’t you think it might be a lot more fun, seeing what it
might really be like to be with one of your students?  Or at least a
reasonable facsimile?”

        Susan opened her mouth to say something, but what words
she wanted to say were cut off as Elisa kissed her.

        Susan’s mind went blank as Elisa’s lips pressed against her
own.  She dropped the bag with the tapes when she felt the young
girl’s tongue invade her mouth.  As first she wanted to scream, to
run way and hide.  Then as seconds passed, she found herself
returning the kiss.

        Elisa had wrapped her arms around Susan’s neck as she
planted soft caresses against the Teacher’s lips.  She pressed her
tongue as deep as it would go, sharing the excitement when she
felt Susan return her touch. 

        “That wasn’t bad,”  Elisa said as she finally broke the kiss
and released her hold around the woman’s neck. “Not bad at all.”

        Susan didn’t say a work, but every part of her mind wanted
to scream that yes, it had been exciting.

        “So what’s it going be Teach,”  the purple haired nineteen
year old asked.  “Home to watch some video, or would you rather
hang out here and maybe play with these instead.”

        Susan’s mouth fell open in disbelief as Elisa grabbed the
bottom of her shirt and pulled it up and over her head.  She hadn’t
wore a bra underneath and her medium sized breasts bounced
free.  The older woman’s eyes were immediately drawn to the half
dollar sized dark nipples that dominated each rounded orb. 

        Elisa stepped to just a half foot from Susan and lifted her
hand up to one of her now exposed breasts.

        “Do you really want to walk away and leave these?”  the
young woman asked as she pressed Susan’s hand against her warm
chest.

        “No.”  Susan finally said softly.


        Elisa released Susan’s hand and moved to the door.  A loud
click filled the air as she turned the deadbolt and locked the door. 
She also pulled down the shades, blocking the view from outside.

        “Now we don’t have to worry about anyone making a late
night return.”  Elisa smiled as she walked back to Susan.

        The young girl placed a hand on each of the Teacher’s
breasts and rubbed them through her dress.  They were larger
then her own and felt good in her hands.

        “I bet a lot of the boys in your class get hard looking at
these day after day,”  Elisa said, feeling Susan’s nipples through
the material.  “And even a few of the girls get wet too.  I know I
am.”

        Susan let out a soft moan as she felt the twin excitements
of both Elisa's touch and her words.  She seemed to know exactly
what to say to get the older woman hot.

        “Let’s have a better look, shall we?”  Elisa asked as she
played with the zipper in the back of the dress.

        Susan’s dress quickly found it’s way to the floor, leaving her
in plain white bra and panties. The purple haired girl planted a kiss
on the top of each of her breasts.

        “You like that?”  she asked as she kissed the second mound.

        “Oh yes,” Susan said in a breathless whisper.

        Elisa ran her hands down across Susan’s stomach, slipping
her fingers under the waistband of her panties.  She pulled hard
on the material, ripping them in the process.  A second hard motion
tore them to the point where they came off in her hand.

        Without hesitation, Elisa cupped her hand against Susan's
now exposed mound, feeling the wetness now there.

        "Oh baby, you're so hot!"  she said as she pressed her body
hard against Susan's.

        Elisa backed away from Susan for a moment, giving her time
to catch her breath.  The nineteen year old wiggled her way out of
the cut off shorts, exposing a small brown bush between her legs,
the original color of her hair.

        "Like what you see?" Elisa asked as she stood naked in the
center of the store, her hands resting on her hips.

        "Yes,"  Susan said almost inaudibly, biting her lips as s
he did.

        "I can't hear you."  Elisa said as she turned and waved her
ass at the older woman.

        "I said, yes!"  Susan called out louder.

        "Well come and get it then."  Elisa laughed playfully as she
jumped up on the edge of the low counter and swung her legs open.

        A rush of desire filled Susan as all semblance of her normal
self seemed to fade into the dust.  She rushed forward and kissed
the young girl with all the lust of a thousand empty nights.  Her
hands closed around her breasts, rubbing her thumbs against the
small thick nipples.  Her tongue sought out Elisa's, caressing it for
long moments before beginning to work it's way down the pale
skinned body. 

        Excitement filled her breast as she worked her way down to
the younger woman's nipples, guiding them into her mouth with an
quick and eager tongue.    

        "Oh yeah, Teach,"  Elisa moaned as she ran her fingers
through the older woman's hair. "Suck on my tits!  Play with them
with your tongue!"

        And play with them she did. First one, then the other, then
back to the first.  All the while, then memories of a dozen
students whose young bodies she had so secretly admired over the
years filled her head. 

         She thought of Rosie Davis, the cute redhead she had
lusted after for all of her four years at RFK.  Even as a freshman,
Rosie had a more developed body than many of the seniors. Susan
thought of Kerri Moore, the dark skinned black girl she had once
glimpsed topless in the days before she stopped pulling gym duty. 
The memory of those rounded dark orbs and the even darker
nipples in the center remained fresh in her mind's eye to this day. 
Finally she remembered Maria Lopez, who had the most perfect
ass Susan had ever seen.

        Taking her fill of Elisa's mounds, the Teacher continued her
downward journey, kissing the soft flesh of the girl before her as
she went.  Bending her knees, she reached the dark mound
between the purple haired girl's legs.  An access made much easier
as the girl resting on the counter lifted her legs and brought them
to rest on Susan's shoulders.  

        Susan inhaled deeply the aroma of Elisa's womanhood, a
scent that sent her heart racing even more. She pressed her lips
against the damp hair, her tongue seeking out the rich passage
beneath it.

        "Oh yeah!" Elisa moaned loudly as she felt Susan's tongue
strike home.  She closed her legs around the redhead's shoulders,
holding her mouth and tongue tightly in place. "Lick me!" Lick my
pussy.  Lick it as if it belonged to every girl that ever sat in your
class."

        It was almost as if the teenage girl could read Susan's mind
and tap into her every secret fantasy.  Her words fueled the
kneeing woman's enthusiasm as she pushed deeper and deeper into
the young pussy, sending rapid waves of delight oscillating out from
it with every stroke. 

        "Fuck me, fuck me with your tongue!" Elisa called out as she
felt the crest of an approaching orgasm.

        Susan could feel it as well as Elisa exploded against her face
a dozen heartbeats later.  She gloried in the sweet nectar of her
efforts as they coated her tongue and filled her mouth.  It was a
honeyed ambrosia that would remain with her forever.    

        "Oh God that was great!"  Elisa shouted as she leaned her
sweat covered body against the pillar behind the counter.
        
        Her face still stained with her prize, Susan had dropped
down to the floor and sat on the cold tile.  She was still trying to
sort out all that had happen tonight, it was as if it had been a
dream.  No, not a dream, a fantasy come true.

        "Now it's my turn."  Elisa laughed as she dropped down from
her perch.

        Before Susan could react, Elisa was on top of her, pressing
her down onto the cold floor.  Her lips pressed against hers, her
tongue reaching deep as it would go.  The purple haired dynamo
seemed to be everywhere at once.  Susan felt the touch of the
girl's hands and lips on every part of her naked body.  On her lips,
on her face, and against her breasts. Finally she felt her presence
between her legs.        

        Elisa's skill and experience in bringing an another woman to
orgasm quickly showed itself to be far beyond her years.  Susan
had never felt her body react so quickly.  No sooner had she
reacted to the first wave of passion crashing across her form,
than another came cascading right behind it.  Then another behind
that in turn.

        The Teacher couldn't find the breath for words as a torrid
of ecstasy radiated from her womanhood.  A rushing tide that
gripped her and thrust her forcibly through the gates of Elysium. 
A journey that seem both at the same time endless and
instantaneous.     


        Susan wasn't sure how much time had passed when she
finally opened her eyes.  Slowly she became aware of the coldness
against her back and ass, and the rich dampness between her legs. 
As tired as she could ever remember being, she lifted herself up
to a sitting position.  She held her hand against her breast as she
took a deep breath.

        "Elisa?"  she asked loudly when she didn't see the girl
anywhere in the store.

        "Be out in a minute."  called out the voice from the back
office. 

        When the young girl reemerged a short time later, she had
changed into a new pair of jeans and an uncut Krazy Kate's shirt. 
She was drying her hands with a small towel.

        "There's a bathroom in the back if you want to wash up." 
she told Susan as she dropped the towel onto the counter.

        "Thank you, but no,"  the Teacher said as she gathered up
her scattered clothing and started to put in back on.  "It's really
getting late and should be getting home."

        "Suit yourself,"  Elisa smiled as she picked up the torn
panties she had ripped from the older woman's body. "I'm afraid
these are a total loss."  she said with sympathy.

        "That's all right,"  Susan said as she pulled her dress over
her head and then reached back to zip it up.  "I'm going right
home, no one is going to notice."

        "Mind if I keep them as a memento?"  Elisa asked as she
brought the now ruined panties up to her face and sniffed the
feminine fragrance still attached to them.

        "No, I don't mind at all,"  Susan said, her previously anxious
face lighting up with a genuine show of appreciation.  "Now where
did I leave my shoes?"

        "Over there by the action movies."  Elisa said helpfully after
she took a last whiff of her keepsake before stuffing it in her
pocket.

        "Thanks."  Susan replied as she walked over and put them on.
        After making sure she wasn't missing anything else, the
redhead moved back to Elisa at the counter to say goodbye.

        "Thank you seems such an inadequate phrase,"  she said. "It
seems strange for a Teacher to find herself at a loss for words."

        "That's okay,"  Elisa smiled.  "I know what you mean.  I have
to say I had a lot of fun too.  A lot more than I thought I would."

        Before Susan could ask what the younger girl had meant by
that, the press of her lips against her cut her off own.  She lost
herself in the softness of the kiss goodbye, forgetting what she
wanted to say.

        Not trusting herself to say another word, Susan took into
her eyes for a brief moment, then turned for the door.  As she
had such a short time before, she had just about reached the door
when Elisa called out to her.

        "Honey, you forgot your tapes."  she called out, holding the
bag with them up for her to see.

        "You just hold on to them,"  Susan smiled.  "I don't think I'll
be needing them for a while."

        With that she was gone.



        Come Monday, after school had let out for the day, Susan
decided to stop by Krazy Kate's.  Just to see how Katherine was
doing, she told herself.  She didn't want to admit that she might
be going there on the chance that she might run into Elisa again.

        Stepping into the small store, Susan felt both happy and a
little disappointed to see her friend Katherine standing behind the
counter, helping one of the customers.  Still she managed a wide
smile as she stepped to the front of the store.

        "Hi Susan," Katherine smiled back as she spotted the
Teacher behind the customer she had been helping. 

        "Hello Katherine, nice to see you're feeling better."  Susan
said as she moved over to the empty half of the counter.

        "Mike, would you finish helping this gentleman,"  Katherine
said to the young man working next to her behind the counter. 
"What did you say?"  she asked Susan as she directed her full
attention to her now. 

        "I said I'm glad to see you're feeling better,"  she repeated. 
"When I came in to see you the other night, the girl running the
place said that you hadn't been feeling well and had gone home
early."

        "The girl running the place?" Katherine asked until a look of
understanding filled her face. "Oh you mean my niece, Elisa."

        "She was your niece?"  Susan asked in a startled tone.

        "Why yes, she's my sister's daughter,"  Katherine answered. 
"Is there a problem?"

        "No, no problem."  Susan said.

        "I almost forgot I had been feeling a little under the
weather Friday afternoon.  But it turned out to be one of those
twenty-four hour things and I felt fit as a fiddle the next day."

        "I'm glad."  said Susan.

        "Actually I hadn't realized you'd been by that night."  the
store owner went on.  "Not after I found the package I left for
you still on my desk."

        "I guess I decided that I really wasn't that interested in
those titles anymore."  Susan said, realizing as she said it that it
was true.

        "Really?"  Katherine said in surprise.  "If you say so.  I'll
just tag them and put them on the wall.  I'm sure someone will rent
them soon enough."

        "Is ...er.. is your niece still around?"  Susan asked.  "I'd like
to apolo ...  I mean I 'd like to thank her for some help she gave me
with something."

        "Sorry Sue, she took off yesterday,"  she said as she moved
a stack on tapes out of her way.  "Said something about going
backpacking across Canada with some friends. You never know with
that girl.  I'm sure you noticed that she's a little on the unusual
side.  Gives my sister gray hairs on top of her gray hairs."

        "No, I hadn't really noticed,"  Susan said as if she was
suddenly preoccupied.  "Her being unusual I mean."

        "Well you're around kids her age a lot more than I am." 
Katherine laughed as she came out from around the counter.

        "That must be it."  Susan agreed.

        "You know, I came up with two tickets for the philharmonic
up in Rossburg on Friday night,"  Katherine said.  "What say we go
together, maybe have dinner before it as well?"

        Susan seemed to be considering the simple question with a
lot more thought than it deserved.  A mixture of choices seemed
to flash across her face is a very brief span, until it settled into a
wide smile and she said yes.

        "Excellent,"  Katherine beamed.  "I'll give you a call during
the week and we'll work out the details."

        "That'll be fine."

        "Was there something else you wanted?"  Katherine asked as
she saw a moment's hesitation in Susan's face.

        "No, nothing really,"  came the reply.  "I'm just glad to see
that you're feeling better.  Friday night sounds like a wonderful
idea.  I'll see you then."
        

        As Katherine watched the door close behind Susan, another
figure stepped behind her from out of the back office.  Her face
would've been quite recognizable to Susan, even if it now lacked
the many earrings and purple hair.

        "It's a good thing I saw her coming in and ducked in the
back."  a relieved Elisa said.

        "Do you really think she would've recognized you?" 
Katherine asked her niece.

        "I'd have been pretty insulted if she hadn't, even without
that get up I was wearing."  

        "Ah, an actress's ego, always looking for recognition." 
Katherine laughed.

        "Oh course."  Elisa joined in the laughter.

        "I really owe you."  the older woman said.

        "You don't owe me anything," the younger replied.  "It was
the least I could do for my all time favorite Aunt.  You believed in
me when no one else did.  And of course you did pay for a lot of my
acting lessons.  I think it's about time you got something back out
of that."

        "I'm amazed that you were able to pull it off." Katherine
said.  

        "I'm amazed I could still play nineteen,"  the twenty three
year old joked.  "It's a pity I can't ever put it on my resume."

        "Well it was in a good cause."  Katherine said.  "You'll have to
settle for that."

        "You think that you and her will be able to go forward now?" 
Elisa asked.  "Now that she's lived her fantasy and can get it out
of her system."  

        "I hope so, I really do,"  Katherine said.  "I think she's a
really special person."

        "I wish there was someone out there that would go to such
lengths for me."  Elisa said as they both went back into the office.

        "Oh she's out there,"  Katherine said.  "It's just a matter of
finding her."

        "I hope so."  came Elisa's reply.

        "Now you hurry or you're going to miss you plane back to
New York,"  Katherine said as she picked up and handed the
younger woman a small suitcase.  "Kiss your mother for me, and let
me know how you make out with that audition on Wednesday."

        "Only if you let me know how things go on Friday night."

        "It's a deal."  Katherine said as she kissed her niece
goodbye and watched her get into the waiting cab.
