Cammie and Terry struggled with the heavy box, one on each end, attempting to get it down the stairs leading from Cammie's apartment. Cammie swore she'd never live in a second floor apartment again; running up and down the stairs on a daily basis was bad enough, but when it came to moving everything you own it really sucked. Every trip to the moving van was twice as difficult.
"Whatcha got in here anyway," Terry asked, "a dead body?"
"Just a few books," Cammie replied.
"Well it feels like you've got a whole fucking library in here!" Terry complained good-naturedly.
"I really appreciate you guys helping me move," Cammie said, "I'm going to owe you both big time."
"That's true, you will!" Terry teased. "I'll have to give some thought as to what a suitable compensation might be. But tonight, we want to celebrate your moving in with Alec. Mike and I want you guys to come over to our house for dinner and drinks. Maybe we can play some cards."
"That's nice of you to ask, but we'll all probably be awfully tired after all this lifting!"
"No problem. After a pitcher or two of Mike's famous margaritas, nobody will be feeling any pain," Terry said, grinning. Cammie agreed, saying she'd check with Alec.
They finally got the box down the stairs, and with a mighty heave they slid it up into the moving van Cammie and Alec had rented. Terry sat down on the curb with a sigh and lit a cigarette. Cammie sat down on the grass next to her for a quick break. They were almost done with loading up her stuff but still had the job of unloading at Alec's condo.
Terry grinned at her best friend. "I still can't believe how well you and Alec have hit it off. You've only known each other for six months and you're already moving in together. Next thing you know you'll be getting married!"
"I can't believe it either! Meeting Alec has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. We're both so happy. And to think, you and Mike are responsible for getting us together." She smiled warmly at Terry while absentmindedly pushing a lock of her thick auburn hair out of her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm glad we kept twisting your arm until you agreed to meet him. But that's all we did. You and Alec fucked each other's brains out and fell in love all on your own!" Terry quipped.
Cammie really was happier than she'd ever been before. She thought back on the six month whirlwind romance she and Alec had shared. They had known they were sexually compatible from the very first night they'd met. Since then there had been countless bouts of sweet lovemaking and also animalistic fucking. She still couldn't get enough of him and even thinking about him still made her go wet between the legs.
Their intense sexual relationship quickly blossomed into love. They were now virtually inseparable, spending every spare moment together and hungrily learning everything possible about each other. And now they were taking the next logical step...moving in together.
Cammie was thrilled to be moving out of her apartment to be with Alec. She loved the thought of being able to fall asleep in his arms every night, and wake up next to his incredible body every morning. There would be no more lonely nights filled with wishful thinking and sexual self gratification.
Terry finished her cigarette and stood, raising her arms up over her head and stretching. She was a tiny thing, only five two, and weighed about a hundred pounds soaking wet. She was very young looking, and she routinely had to prove her age with identification when entering clubs or buying cigarettes.
"Well, the sooner we get back to work the sooner we'll get finished, and the sooner we can party!" she said, her dark brown eyes sparkling.
They went back inside just in time to see Alec and Mike struggling down the stairs with Cammie's dresser on a dolly. Mike was swearing continuously as he stood in front of the dresser, trying to balance it as Alec held the dolly and worked it down, one step at a time.
Cammie beamed up at Alec, appreciatively noticing the way his arm muscles bulged with effort. He grinned back and said, "At times like this I bet the whole 'being the weaker sex thing' really seems like a good deal, doesn't it?"
"Aww, poor baby," Cammie cooed. "I promise I'll make all this hard work worth your while," she added with a suggestive smile.
"And how about me? What do I get out of this?" Mike teased in a demanding tone.
"My eternal gratitude! And don't ask me for anything more than that or you'll just end up helping me move all my stuff back in here when Alec dumps me!"
Mike mumbled, "Oh, gee, thanks," and they all laughed.
Other than her wonderful new relationship with Alec, the other thing that made Cammie happy was the friendship the four of them now shared. They all got along famously, and they were having a lot of fun doing "couples stuff" that they couldn't do before Alec came along. Of course she and Terry always had a special friendship, but Cammie also felt closer to Mike now that Alec was around to balance out the group. She felt lucky to have such great friends.
**********
They had finally gotten all of Cammie's stuff loaded into the moving van, and now they were headed for part two of the job on their way to Alec's. Alec drove the big van and Mike rode with him as the girls followed in Cammie's car.
"Did Cammie tell you you guys are invited over to our house for dinner later?" Mike asked.
"Yep. That's really nice of you both. Cammie said something about you breaking out your blender and making margaritas. I think we'll all be ready for a couple of those by then!"
"Terry wanted to celebrate you and Cammie moving in together," Mike explained, "but I think she also wanted to have a chance to tell Cammie something she's been putting off for a long time." Mike's expression was cryptic.
"And what is it she wants to tell Cammie?" Alec's hazel eyes brimmed with undisguised curiosity.
With a sheepish grin, Mike said, "Well, that's why I brought the subject up. I wanted to get your opinion before Terry breaks her news to Cammie."
Alec's eyebrows arched questioningly. "Spit it out, dude! You're making me nervous."
Mike regarded Alec with his bright blue eyes. "I don't know if Cammie has ever told you that Terry is bisexual, but she is. She hasn't has sex with any women yet, but she claims to be equally as attracted to women as she is men. She hasn't explored that part of her sexuality yet because she has it in her head that she wants Cammie to be her first woman."
