"Don't forget the wine!" Femininity said to Nirvana, just before she flipped her mobile phone shut. She grinned, leaned forward and kissed Scheherazade gently on the forehead.
"There are some benefits to having a best friend whose family is in the winemaking business!" Zade winked at Fem. "I especially enjoyed the dry red wines she brought to our dinner party last month.
"You mean the bottle that you had one glass of and then proceeded to giggle uncontrollably for an hour?" Fem smiled impishly at her lover.
"Excuse me . . . It could not be helped! Abstruse it positively the funniest person I know! I would have giggled anyway!" Zade laughed at the memory. "They make a lovely couple, don't they?"
"As do we" Fem said, and pulled Zade closer for a kiss. "I remember that dinner party with very fond memories . . . very fond memories indeed . . . "
"Vana's black dress? Zade grinned. "That dress is unforgettable. Remember how Abs couldn't keep her hands off of Vana? Not that Vana seemed to mind."
"Vana is a beautiful woman, and so is Abs. I'm so happy that the two of them are finally together. They're both ecstatically happy, and it's been months since they moved in together! I love seeing my friends happy." Fem picked up the two backpacks and carried it out the door.
Zade grabbed the remaining backpack, and the stack of warm, fluffy blankets. "And I love seeing you happy, Darling. You make me happy… I know it's so sentimental but I just can't help it. "
"It seems as if 2006 really did turn into a year to remember. Only good things for 2007." Fem crossed her fingers.
"Only good things, Babe. You lock up the house. I'll meet you in the car"

Abstruse's hand moved up underneath Nirvana's skirt. Vana had to concentrate hard not to moan lustily into the phone. Abs was standing so close behind her, their bodies pushed together, whispering into her ear that didn't have the phone pushed to it.
"This is what you get for wearing a skirt like that, Baby." her hot breath on the spot just below Vana's ear made her melt. Abs pulled Vana's panties aside roughly. Wetness greeted her fingertips. A shiver ran through Vana's body. She concentrated hard on not dropping the phone. Abs's deft fingers were playing through her wetness, and she needed to come so badly.
"I have the wine packed." she said to Femininity over the phone in a very shaky voice.
"Packed..." Abs snickered into her ear. "Is
that
what you want?"
Vana dropped the phone from her ear for a few moments as she felt Abs's fingers enter her urgently. "Oh God, Baby." She whispered. She opened her legs a little further as Abs slowly moved in and out of her, her fingers coated with wetness.
"Now tell her goodbye. I need enough time to ravage you before we go. "
Vana managed to say something that made sense into the phone. That was all the invitation Abs needed to turn her around, and push her down onto the couch.
"I love what you feel like on top of me" Vana breathed, as she kissed her lover passionately.
"It feels so right, Baby." Abs said as she pulled Vana's skirt up, her panties down, and entered her again with two fingers. She buried her face in Vana's neck and unruly blonde curls. " Fuck . . . you feel so . . . . good."

Femininity took the time to steal glances at her lover, as Zade drove. This woman, who had crept firstly into her heart, and then into her bed over the past few months.
Whoever would have thought
… Fem looked at Zade's facial expression. She had such innocence to her - a natural innocence, which she found incredibly appealing. She let her eyes roam longingly over Zade's body, and stopped at her artistic hands which gripped the steering wheel comfortably, in a relaxed manner. Those hands, those long fingers and what they were capable of…
Fem thought back to so many nights of passion. She imagined herself laying back as Zade crept down her belly and came to rest between her thighs, opening her up and sliding her fingers inside.
"Earth to Fem …"Zade joked, as she pulled over to the side of the road. "They're late. Again. I wonder why." She rolled her eyes.
Those eyes . . . Fem continued to stare. Deep, dark blue eyes stared back at her. She leaned closer to Zade, and ran her fingers through her just above the shoulder, unruly hair. "I think you forgot to brush your hair this morning, Darling." she winked.
"I didn't forget. It just wasn't priority."
Their moment of intimacy was interrupted by a sexy American accent. "So I'm spending this weekend with three blondes?" Abstruse said as she opened Fem's door, and pulled her out of the car for a hug.
"Nambiotch! I missed you!" They hugged for a moment. Fem laughed, remembering Abs's nickname for her.
"You know, Abs, I can say so many things about you, but I'd rather not spoil your reputation.
"You have no proof for any of it!" Abs lit a cigarette, as she spoke. "and Zade, you're blonder every time I see you!"
Zade leaned over the seat next to her "No proof? Nirvana has turned you into a sentimental, love-sick lesbian, and we have no proof? You two are like teenagers together!"
Nirvana walked up to Fem, and kissed her on both cheeks. "Hey, Sweet." she smiled gently. Abs watched the two best friends hug. "Hands to yourself, Nambioth! She's mine."
They all laughed at her little joke. But there was a seriousness to Abstruse's words. They all knew the obstacles that had to be overcome before Nirvana and Abstruse could finally be together as a couple.
"I take no responsibility for Abs's condition. Nirvana bit her bottom lip before she spoke again. "I did not do anything to her that she did not
want
done. Well, maybe a
few
things … "She smiled coyly.
Zade opened the car door, and walked up to Vana and pulled her closer for a hug.
"You know, Vana, not all things can be explained by psychology. Being in love falls into the category of unexplainable. You can try and psych your way around it and try and analyse it, but it can't be. We watched you two for months online, and it was clear from the start that you two were meant to be together."
Abs grinned at their friend's approval. "Despite Vana's need to understand, what attracted me to her from the start was her ability to just feel, and let it flow over her, and be in that moment. To let go … It's something I have been trying to do, but it's not easy when you've spent years keeping your emotions to yourself. "
Nirvana took her hand, and their fingers entwined. "I love you, Baby." She kissed Abs gently on the lips.
Zade and Fem watched the happy couple for a moment before Fem sighed. "Right, enough teenage behaviour. It's getting colder and I want to get to the cottage before dark."
"Wuss!" Zade said, as the two couples got into their respective cars, and drove North West towards Aberystwyth.
Three hours later, they arrived at the cottage in Devil's Bridge Falls, situated on the West coast of Wales.
"It is incredibly beautiful" Nirvana said breathlessly. She looked around her. To her right, was high mountains, and falling water could be heard clearly. "Is that a waterfall?" she asked excitedly.
"There are a few falls around here" Zade answered. "I'll take you to the nearest one tomorrow if you're willing the hike up?"
"I'd love to see it. And the woods, please." Vana gestured to her right, where acres of tall trees could be seen.
"It's hard to believe I'm in a different country!" Abs said as Zade unlocked the cottage door, and let them all inside.
"Got to warm up." Fem started building a fire in the ancient fireplace immediately.
Twenty minutes later, they were all four relaxing in front of a roaring wood fire.
"This wine is good, Vana. I like the red more than the white." Zade nodded.
"Let's make a toast" Fem suggested. "To Zade. I'm so proud of you for being the home owner of such a cosy little cottage. "
"To us – all of us, and a good weekend." Zade winked at Fem.
"To Abs and the three blondes!" Abs laughed.
Vana raised her right eyebrow as she glanced over at her lover. "To love and Light." Vana said.
"To Love and Light" they all repeated.
Fem's thoughts went back to the conversation she and Zade had two weeks ago.
When Zade's plans to buy the cottage in Aberystwyth started taking shape, she and Fem had asked their two best friends, to spend the New Year's weekend in Wales.
"It will be fun" Zade said. "We'll have loads of laughing and we have some catching up to do"
"What are we going to do up there? There's no internet connection, no TV, no radio even, no cell phone reception. And as much as Vana has the earth mother reputation to keep up, she's a yuppie if I've ever met one." Fem rolled her eyes to emphasise the point.
"We can hike."
"Yeah, I can see Abs climbing a mountain."
"I think all four of us need to get away. Life has been incredibly hectic and sometimes a change of scenery is all we need; Besides, Vana loves the mountains. And Abs loves what Vana loves."
"We all need to get away from the kids for a few days. I'm a teacher but I still get tired of kids. I need some adult time only."
"I just want to be with you, Zade. It would be fun to get together with them too."
"So we take some nurturing food, good wine and hope for snow. The fireplace is perfect for sitting in front of and enjoying some hot chocolate. A few good books, a deck of cards, warm oversized sweaters, and we're all set."
