At Alices apartment

Dana flinched as a beam of light reflecting off the windshield of a passing car cut through the living room window and hit her squarely in the face. She institutively rubbed her face, slowly opening her eyes and becoming aware of an enormous headache pounding her skull. As she looked around, she noticed Shane sprawled across the floor right under the window, her white t-shirt noticeably soaked with sweat. Not seeing Alice anywhere near, Dana assumed she had retreated to her bedroom at some point during the previous night. Dana sat up, placing her feet on the soft carpet, rubbing her forehead roughly, hoping that with enough massaging and willpower the headache would soon go away. There was a loud knock at the front door and Dana groaned, both at the inconvenience of having to open it (since Shane only shifted slightly in her sleep) and at the way the sound was magnified a thousand fold in her head. As she shuffled toward it, she glanced into Alices room, hearing a loud snort as Alice just rolled over.

Slowly opening the door, Dana was greeted by Alexs cheery face, arms brimming with cups of coffee and little paper bags. Dana rubbed her half-lidded eyes and raised an index finger to her lips, signaling Alex to keep quiet. They tip-toed their way to the kitchen, carefully closing the door behind them. God, you look like *****, Alex whispered, allowing her burden to tumble out of her arms onto the counter. Thanks, Dana answered simply, still struggling to fully open her eyes. Youre welcometheres plenty of coffee and bagels, I brought a bunch of different kindsdoes Alice have cream cheese? Probably not, Id be surprised if she had anything in here besides Alexs voice trailed as she looked back at Dana. Danas annoyance at having to listen to Alexs overly excited babbling was clearly etched on her face. Alex gave her a little grin and motioned as if she was zipping her lips, pulling some dubious butter and/or margarine from Alices fridge. Just then, Shane wrenched the door open, sniffing avidly and becoming wide-eyed when she spotted the coffee cups on the counter.

At B & Ts house

Tina opened her eyes, a streak of sunlight pouring in through the windows and washing over her face. We never made it to the pool, she thought to herself, rubbing her face and sitting up. Bette was already out of bed, probably getting something to eat since it was nearly ten oclock. They had been so spent by their acrobatics on the breakfast table that after collecting their robes from the floor, they just staggered together back to bed. Tina pushed off the sheets; it seemed the weather report had been wrong; it was much cooler this day. Tina had just walked over to the dresser to pull on some clothes, when she smelled something burning. She tore down the hall still pulling a shirt over her head, the burning smell growing stronger. She heard the clanging of dishes and Bettes voice shouting a train of expletives. As she stepped closer to the breakfast table, blushing slightly, the aroma of golden brown batter reached her nose and she smiled: Bette was making waffles!

Baby, relaxyoure gonna give yourself an aneurysm, Tina said softly, walking up to the counter to stand next to Bette. It was a recipe she had gotten from her father, which he had received from his mother. It was Bettes one and only culinary boast, and whenever she treated Tina and herself to a waffle breakfast, absolute perfection was her only goal. Neatness, however, was another story: the entire counter and sink were covered in the gooey paleness; dirty spoons and bowls were scattered all over, and the waffle iron was already crusted with burnt batter drips. I keep pouring too much onto the iron, damn it! Bette spat, shaking her fingers clean of the goo enveloping them. Tina just shook her head and started washing the strawberries which were sitting on the counter. About twenty minutes and several *****, *****, and damn its later, Bette and Tina were gathering the silverware and syrup to sit down and have some brunch. They both balked suddenly, looking at the breakfast table, then at each other. Pool? Tina offered, arching an eyebrow; with a quick nod from Bette, both women walked out toward the table by the pool.

Back at Alices

Shane: (yawning) So, what happened last night?

Dana: (moodily) Yeah, why the ***** are you so chipper today?

Alex: We made outhard core!

Shane: No shitso shes into itshes into you?

Alex: No, Im pretty sure she was a little too wired from the caffeineshe probably wont ever speak to me again.

Dana: Im sorry.

Alex: Dont beI won the bet!

Dana: Betwhat bet?

Shane gave Dana a weary look as she reached into her back pocket, retrieving a twenty dollar bill and slapping it into Alexs open palm. Miss McCutcheon here and I had a bet going over whether or not I could out this church-going, country club bunny thats in my class, Alex explained proudly, and I won! Dana wrinkled her brow, more out of curiosity than pain now, But how can she be out if she wasnt into it, I mean you said she wasnt right? Shane weakly gestured with her hand, It was less about outing and more about getting down and dirty. Dana became even more confused, But they didnt really do that either! Alex gently patted Danas head, It was hard-core kissingtrust me, we did slightly more than just the tongue tango. DETAILS! Alice shouted, bumping Shane out of the way as she reached for a cup of coffee.

Back at B & Ts house

Arent these the best, T? Bette sighed, eyes sparkling with pride. Tina chuckled in agreement, leaning back in her chair and squinting up at the bright morning sky. We never made it to the pool last night, Bette continued thoughtfully. Tina nodded, At least we got the bathroom and the kitchen all taken care of. They both laughed out loud, simultaneously looking back at the breakfast table, then each at other.

Bette: Are we ever gonna be able to eat there again?

Tina: Not without turning bright red.

Bette: Were too full for the pool, nowbed, what about the bed?

Tina: We fell asleep there last time.

Both women suddenly fell silent, two pairs of eyes gazing lazily into the blueness of the pool just feet away. Tina broke the silence after several moments, I think Im gonna take a shower, Im still kinda sticky from last night. Bettes lips curled into a grin, but it was lost on Tina who was gathering up the plates. Bette forced her face into a serious expression and stopped her, Ill get the dishes you go aheadI made the mess, Ill clean up. Tina nodded enthusiastically in agreement and sauntered into the house. Bette sat deep in thought for a few more moments, then picked up a syrup-soaked strawberry slice from one of the plates, a wicked grin spreading across her lips.

Alices

And RIGHT then, a damn security guard walked by Alex screeched, slamming her hand on the coffee table. The other women collectively gasped, a chorus of oh nos and no ways filling the living room. Alex just nodded her head gravely, like someone with the burden of delivering terrible news. Well, at least you got twenty bucks and a GOOD tongue-lashing from it, Dana chuckled and snorted. Everyone else nodded and chuckled, more amused by Danas snorting than by her attempt at a witty remark. God, I cant believe the weekends over alreadyI have to go to work againthis sucks! Alice groaned, getting to her feet finally and walking over to her desk. Yeah, well at least you dont have a weeks worth of exams to muddle throughwhats everyone doing this coming weekend, anyway. Dana and Alice shrugged their shoulders, but Shane began wagging a defensive finger at Alex:

Shane: No way, youre not dragging me anywhere where the toilet is the nearest tree.

Alex: Cmon, Shaneitll be so much fun: fresh air, camp fires, fishing!

Dana: You guys are going campingI loved camping when I was a girl scoutI made a mean smore.

Alice: You were a girl scout?

Dana: Yeah.

Alice: That explains so much.

Alex: We should all go, get away from the craziness of the city for a while, connect with nature

Alice: Whoa, there sparkyyoure sounding like one those environmental dykes now.

Alex: Finewe can go skinny dipping in the rivers and ponds, smoke weed to our hearts content, and tell scary ghost stories once were completely stoned.

Alice: Now youre talking!

Dana: Im so there!

Alice gave a Dana a questioning look, given the previous nights events at the beach. Shanes shoulders fell, crumbling under the victorious gaze of Alexs eyes. Should we invite Bette and Tina? Dana asked innocently.

B & Ts

Tina wrapped herself in a towel and paddled toward the bedroom, stopping short at the door frame. Bette was lying face-up in bed, head cradled in her arms, a sheet covering her legs to just below her navel, and what looked like small red circles making a tiny trail from her forehead, down between her ***** to somewhere beneath the sheet. You have no idea how hard it was to put all of these on, Bette said, smiling with closed eyes. Tina gasped slightly; awestruck, her feet seemed to have transmuted from flesh to lead. Bette opened one eye and peeked over at Tina, her smile growing wider. Tina smiled in return; the look from Bette was the perfect counter to the curse which had her rendered her motionless. She tore off her towel and swaggered over to the bed, as she crawled on top of Bette, she noticed the red circles were actually strawberry slices. She also noticed a thick clear, brown liquid swirled all over Bettes body. Syrup and everything, Tina said in a voice that was more of a growl than anything else.

Tina bent down, arching her back so that her body didnt disrupt the arrangement of fruit on Bettes body. She used her teeth to pick up the piece on Bettes forehead, then lowered her mouth to feed it to Bette. Tina went lower, picking up and quickly eating the pieces of strawberry adorning Bettes neck. She slowly licked the syrup out of hollow of Bettes neck and sucked every bit of the sugary liquid away from her collarbone. She trailed her tongue down between Bettes *****, once again feeding Bette from the fruit she found there. She licked circles around Bettes *****, capturing the dripping fluid with her tongue and finally nibbling on the nipple, savoring the sweetness of the syrup on Bettes skin. She brought her lips back up to meet Bettes; she smiled into the kiss: Bettes face was flushed and eyes were shut tight as she sucked hungrily on Tinas sweetened lips. Tina used the tip of her nose to trail back down, feeling it stick slightly to Bettes skin. She quickly ate the last of the fruit, feeling Bettes impatient fingers tangling into her hair and pleading. She used her tongue to broadly lap up the syrup swirled across Bettes midsection, the muscles fluttering and the skin flushing crimson.

As she dipped her tongue into Bettes navel to capture the golden liquid there, Bette moaned, writhing and spreading her legs in anticipation of Tina reaching her goal. Tina slowly pushed down the sheet, delicately running a hand down Bettes left thigh with her thumb caressing the smooth skin inside. She used her tongue once again to follow the trail of her thumb, then retraced its path finally teasing the soft skin of Bettes groin. Oh, god, Tina Bette moaned loudly, loosening her grip on Tinas hair to clutch the sheets beneath her. Tina gently brushed her tongue across Bettes lips, bringing it to finally rest on her *****. She began flicking it quickly with the tip of her tongue as she continued to gently caress the inside of Bettes thighs (as well as holding her somewhat still). Bettes body was beginning to shudder, and Tina increased the pressure, sucking on Bette firmly with her lips.

Tina suddenly felt Bette pull away and grab her around the neck, pulling her face up to Bettes. Bette flipped them and lowered a hand quickly, thrusting two fingers deep into Tinas body while she rubbed herself against Tinas thigh. Tina braced her hands on Bettes hips as she rocked quickly into Bettes hand. Bettes body began to stiffen, and she pressed her forehead against Tina, breathing hotly on her face, while Tina blindly puckered her lips to inadvertently meet Bettes face and lips. Bette pressed her body against Tinas as they both came, a sensual glue of sugar and sweat forming between them. Bettes entire body collapsed, absolutely void of any energy, except for that needed to bring her hands up to Tinas face. Tina draped an arm around Bettes neck, kissing her forehead weakly in between labored breaths. The phone began to ring and continued to ring until the voicemail picked up: Bette and Tina were too busy trying to get air into their lungs:
