The
girls shared a very enjoyable meal and talked about the goings on in their lives. They hardly ever had the chance to sit down and
shoot the breeze.
“So
what are your plans today?” Lauren turned
to her sister.
“I
don’t know. I wasn’t expecting Tori
to come back until next week so I really didn’t have any plans.” Brett looked over at her lover. “Honey is
there anything you wanted to do?” Brett
lifted a piece of bacon and bit into it.
Taking
a sip of orange juice, Tori thought about the possibilities.
“Well,
I’d like to go home and unpack my things, check my messages, and see if there’s
anything pressing that needs my attention. Once
that’s through, I’m all yours.” Tori
picked up a slice of cantaloupe and bit into it. She held up her fork offering the rest to
Brett. Brett leaned over and took the offered
fruit. Tori watched as some juice glistened on
Brett’s lips, leaned over, and kissed her. The
two were at it again and the other girls rolled their eyes.
“Excuse
me?” Lauren had never seen two people go
at it as often as these two did. She was happy
for them but it did nothing for her libido or her love life or lack there of.
“Uh…um.. sorry.” Tori sneaked in another quick kiss and pointed at
Brett’s lips.
“Brett
had a bit of fruit juice on her lip and I was helping to clean it up.” Brett smiled and they gave each other another
sickeningly sweet look.
“Right.” Lauren looked to Adrian and Alexi
and they all rolled their eyes. “So, do
you think you’d like to go shopping with us? We’re thinking of going into
“Well
I’m cool with that if you are honey.” Tori
took Brett’s hand and brought it to her lips. “If
you want to come over to my place and hang out until I finish what I have to do then I can
go. If you want to get started right a way then you and Brett can go without me. I’m sure I can
come up with something to keep me occupied.” Tori
kissed Brett’s hand again, telling her she would understand either way.
Brett
looked at the other girls. “I’d love
to go shopping but it’s up to you. You haven’t seen Tori’s place.
You’d just love it.
There’s a ton of things to keep us busy while
Tori’s doing her errands. But it’s
entirely up to you.” Brett blushed when
she felt Tori nipping at each of her knuckles. She’s trying to kill me. Please give me strength…
“Ooh,
I’d love to see Tori’s place!! I heard it’s amazing.”
“You
are hopeless. What’s gotten you so wound
up today?” Alexi
reached over and patted
“Sounds
like a plan. Let’s clean this up and get
started.” They all got up, helped clear
up the dishes, and put away the food.
As
they say, “many hands make light work”, within 20 minutes everything was cleaned
up, and they were out the door.
*******
They
took a cab over to the Penthouse and the girls watched in wonder as they took in the very
exclusive building.
They
took the Penthouse elevator up and
“What’s
your problem today?” Alexi
was just about ready to give it to
“I’ve
always wanted to do that. I’m
sorry.” As the doors opened on to every
floor, everyone waited patiently and shook their heads.
“It’s
not like anyone else is waiting to use this elevator.
It’s just for the penthouse. Right?”
“Yeah
it’s just for my place. I’m glad you
can get it out of your system.” She
reached out and pulled Brett back against her as she leaned against the back of the
elevator. Thirty-five…
Thirty-six…Thirty-seven… finally…
“Hey.. I thought there were Thirty-eight floors? Why’d we get off on Thirty- seven?”
She
stepped off and immediately walked into Alexi. Alexi was standing
there stunned as well as Lauren.
“Sweetie…. why are
you just standing there?
You know if those doors had closed I would have been right between them.”
Alexi put her hand over
“Holy
smokes.”
“You
live here?”
“Yes,
I do. Come on in. Make yourselves comfortable.” Tori held out a hand and motioned them in.
“Brett, honey, you know where everything is. Why
don’t you give everyone the grand tour and I’ll get all my stuff put away.”
“Okay
sweetie. You sure you don’t need any help
with your luggage?” Brett wrapped her
arms around Tori’s waist and twinkled her eyes.
“Uh… I think I can
manage…. although the offer is very tempting.”
Tori wrapped her arms tighter around Brett’s shoulders and kissed her
tenderly.
“I yi, yi. Can you two please give it a break? I swear you two are going to morph into one body
soon.” Lauren pulled at her sister’s
arm. “Come on,
show us the rest of this place. It looks like
it’s going to take an hour at least.” Brett
shrugged her shoulders and blew Tori another kiss.
Tori stood there with a smile
on her face as she watched her lover lead the group in the direction of the kitchen.
Tori
called for the elevator again, stepped back into it and pushed P2. The elevator opened to the second floor and she
grabbed her rolling luggage and carry on. She
went down the balcony towards the master bedroom.
