Life settled a bit for Deedee and Beth for months after this but they were important and exciting times. They went ahead with the move first of Deedee into Beth's house and then completely both the sale of the house and then the purchase of the new house.
It proved to be a source of joy for both of them. They needed new furniture; they decided to set up a computer room with new apple computers, where there were many giggle sessions as they surfed the internet and wandered into porn sites periodically. Their new home became a source of contentment and joy for the two of them.
Their further life was defined by two incidents that occurred to them, after they'd settled down both in the new home and the new jobs. Deedee and Beth became very popular at the State hospital. Their relationship was known to few if any people. They were careful and polite with each other at work, though there were certainly times, when business took Beth to Deedee's office and she would take the opportunity to strip naked for her and engage in her passion to east Deedee's pussy.
It was a Tuesday evening. They were cleaning up the dinner dishes. Beth had made for them a lasagna, which was sitting and still cooling on the sideboard, when the door bell rang.
Beth answered it and there, standing on the doorstep was Cleo in tears.
"Deedee!" Beth called, over her shoulder, gathering the weeping woman into her arms.
Deedee came in a hurry and, taking the scene in immediately, helped Beth bring Cleo into the living room.
They got her seated and Deedee asked:
"Girl,what is it?"
"Oh, I didn't know where to go;" Cleo wailed. "I lost my job. They're downsizing!"
"Oh dear!" Beth said, pulling Cleo toward her again.
"James?" Deedee asked.
"Gone!" Cleo said, "He and some friends have moved out west someplace. Just more trouble for him!"
"Now I have to quit school; I can finish this semester but that's about it. I'm sorry to bring my problems to you two but I didn't know where to go."
"Of course you were right to come to us," Beth said.
Deedee said immediately:
"She's right, girl! We're family here. We take care of each other."
"Have you eaten?" Beth wanted to know.
Cleo simply shook her head 'no'.
Beth got up immediately and said:
"Bring her to the kitchen, Deedee; she'll eat, we'll all have a glass of wine and we'll solve the problem."
Beth had gone on ahead into the kitchen, and by the time that Deedee and Cleo got there, she had a place set at the table, and three wine glasses set out also.
Cleo sat and began to calm down, as Beth served her some of the lasagna.
"Looks good!" Cleo said, and began to break down again.
"You two treat me so nice!" she said, the tears coming again.
"Of course we do," Beth said, "It's like Deedee said, 'we're family' here."
Beth looked at Deedee then who just nodded her head. They were apparently thinking the same thing. It was Deedee then who spoke for the two of them:
"Girl, you just don't worry about this loss of the job thing. We want you to concentrate on your studies. I'm still holding that job for you at State. Bethie and I will pay for the schooling."
Cleo's head came up suddenly and she had a shocked look on her face.
"But why?" she said quietly.
"Because we love you!" Beth said, standing and holding Cleo's head against her stomach, for now, with the reality of their offer, Cleo began to cry again.
"You cry, girl!" Deedee said, "Get this sadness out and we'll talk about what we need to do."
Cleo settled and began to eat again. She filled Deedee and Beth in on what the fees were and various costs.
"I can pay you back!" Cleo said.
"Nonsense!" Deedee said. "Pay us back! What do you think we are the first national Deedee and Beth? We just take care of our own."
"Of course we do!" Beth said.
They sat around, after Cleo had eaten and talked about it. Cleo told them, when Beth asked, that she lived in a dorm for nursing students at the school, and, also when Beth asked, said that she didn't need to be back that night.
"Can we have her stay with us tonight, Deedee?" Beth asked. "Please?"
Deedee moved to Beth and pulled her into a hug, saying:
"Of course, sweet angel; you're still the best of the best."
"Stay here tonight?" Cleo asked.
"Yes, all of us girls; a naked sleep party!" Deedee said and that got a laugh or a giggle from all of them.
Deedee and Beth set out then to take care of Cleo. They talked about the arrangements that had to be made for paying fees etc.
"Please let us know what you need," Beth said. "We'll take care of it, honey. The rest of your people may be gone but we're not! And we'll make sure that you get what you need, won't we, Deedee?"
"Sure will!" Deedee said.
"I'll finnish this clean up," Beth said then, "Why don't you two get comfortable?"
"We're comfortable!" Deedee said, "We'll help."
Deedee got a kind of a gleam in her eye then and just looked at Beth, who said a soft:
"Yes, ma'am."
"What?" Cleo asked, having missed it.
"She wants me to take my clothes off!" Beth said, giggling.
"Oh, nice!" Cleo said brightening.
Soon, Beth was at the sink washing up wearing only an apron and a pair of yellow panties.
"Still has one of the loveliest asses around for a white girl!" Deedee said with a grin, and Cleo agreed, the two of them laughed, as Beth blushed and said a 'thank you.'
Deedee then went to the sink and put her arms around Beth, who leaned back and turned her head for a kiss.
"I always seem to interrupt you guys during a sweet moment!" Cleo said.
Beth replied:
"Every moment with Deedee is a sweet moment."
"Even when I spank your ass?" Deedee asked, moving away and hitting Beth's panty covered ass har
"Especially when you spank my ass!" Beth said.
She'd moved away from the sink and bent over, presenting her ass to Deedee, as wiggling it. Then she laughed and headed for the door.
"Get her!" Deedee barked to Cleo.
Beth shouted: "No, Cleo, she's going to beat me! She's cruel! She's mean! She'll spank me!"
Cleo was laughing and grabbed Beth, pulling the apron from her and wrestling her back into the kitchen.
Deedee was standing there, and Beth looked totally chagrined.
"Am I cruel?" Deedee asked, plucking at Beth's nipple and twisting it.
"No, ma'am, you're never cruel!" Beth said.
"Am I mean?" Deedee asked, twisting the other nipple,
"No, ma'am, you're never mean!" Beth said.
"Okay," Deedee said, "Let her go."
Beth walked out of the kitchen and said over her shoulder:
"Only some of the time!"
She grinned and sprinted for the living room and family room area.
They caught her quickly enough and, while she was squealing her protests, Deedee and Cleo both spanked her, until Beth's ass was red.
When the spanking stopped, Cleo stood and grinned. Beth went to Deedee, putting her arms around her lover's neck and said softly:
"Honey, you know that I was kidding? You're neither mean nor cruel; you're my Deedee!"
"I know that, sweet angel," Deedee said.
"May I ask a favor?" Beth said in a quiet voice.
"Yes, love," Deedee said,"Name it, up to half my kingdom."
"Ohhhhh!" Beth sighed then said: "Can we have Cleo sleep with us tonight, just girl to girl to girl? She needs some comforting, and we're going to see that it all comes out right but why don't we do that. May we please?"
"You know that I won't deny you anything," Deedee said and kissed Beth, while Cleo looked on.
Then Beth and Deedee both spread their arms wide to invite Cleo to join them in the kissing and hugging.
Beth had tears in her eyes as she said: "Deedee, I love you so much; you fill my life like I never thought possible."
Deedee's response was to kiss Beth long and slowly.
When the kiss was done, Beth turned to Cleo and said:
"I love you too, honey; we're going to take care of all the problems. You just let us know what you need."
"That's awfully generous," Cleo said, tears in her eyes now.
"She means it, Cleo, honey," Deedee said. "We'll take care of the financial stuff; you just become a great nurse."
"Like you, I will," Cleo said.
"Bedtime," Beth said.
"Yes," Deedee answered, "School tomorrow and work. Shower now?"
"Three girl shower?" Beth asked.
"Three girl shower," Deedee confirmed.
"Oh, goody!" Cleo said.
"I'll just go finish the kitchen," Beth said, turning to go.
"No panties for you for being mouthy!" Deedee said with a smile.
Beth curtseyed and then slid her panties down and off, giving them to Deedee and turning around to display her ass.
"Another spanking coming?" Deedee asked mildly.
"No, ma'am," Beth said, "Working, cleaning up, finishing off, very busy, very contrite, very humble!" But as she got into the kitchen, she bent over and wiggled her ass again.
All three of them whooped and Beth hastened to finish the kitchen.
Later that night the three of them were in bed in the dark. They were tired, and they were naked. It was Beth that spoke up first:
"Cleo, honey, are you okay?"
Cleo began to talk, the darkness of the room helping her.
"It was so scary; I mean, I was finally getting on, instead of all the hanging around and stuff. Finally getting on and then James left, he'd been helping me out with the expenses, but I had the job, and then the job went away, and I saw it . . .saw it all slipping away, all slipping away."
The scene was almost ethereal. The moonlight was streaming in through the windows and Deedee watched, as Beth simply moved over and cradled Cleo's head at her breast.
Now Cleo was half talking half crying:
"It was so depressing, demoralizing. I still don't know what prompted me to come to you. You two are so lovely, so wonderful!"
"We told you to, baby," Deedee said, pressing herself against Cleo's back now.
And the scene, infused with romantic light as it was, wasn't erotic. It was a scene of simple gathering love.
"I know," Cleo continued, her sobs still interrupting her, "And I don't know how or when I can repay . . ."
