Café Number 9

Maya Lévêque bleeds confidence, and why shouldnt she? The college junior is a devoted assistant manager of her local coffee shop, the former superstar of the girl's basketball team, a talented musician with a voice like honey, and the most attractive woman on the East Coast. Her large circle of friends is ever-growing, but more importantly, so is the number of women she takes to bed. Loud whispers of her pleasurable expertise spread faster than wildfire, adding to the ease with which she approaches girls. Relationships? Not for her; not anymore, and she makes that clear each time. As apologetic as she is when it happens, she can't control who catches feelings. Maya knows from experience that trying is pointless after a mistake she made freshman year. Being the cause of unexplained heartache, her already promiscuous reputation changed to something much more negative. Who cared if the rumors weren't true? She knew herself and didnt owe anyone a thing. Then one day, Sayge El-Amin, a new student for the upcoming semester strolls into the café. She's stunning, and Maya knows she would do anything to spend the night with her. Maya tries to remove the mask of regal stoicism the other woman wears so well, and with each little crack, Sayge reveals parts of herself that stir something long buried within Maya.
