Fiona slept. A fine relaxed, happy sleep, a sleep filled with non-sensical happy dreams... until morning. With a start, a dream told her, as it always did, that her period (or bleeding as Meg would say) was starting soon. That, and the usual cramps and headache. Fiona knew from a decade of experience, that she had a day before her flow started. Her friends (and lovers) had all envied her periods. Predictable, nearly to the hour, relatively painless; but with a flow, that once it started, was as dramatic as it was short.
Her priority now was to get 'female sanitary products'--somehow, she doubted that Bill had any of those--'just in case'. She slipped the dress that Meg had given her over her lean body. Fiona left the workshop surprised not to see Bill making breakfast. And where was Meg?
She smiled to herself. She was guilty of what so many people are guilty of... pigeonholing people. Meg was HER healer. Meg was also a woman. As Fiona approached Bill's camper, she was made aware of how passionate a woman, Meg actually was. The small camper was rocking on its axles, and she could hear both male and female voices inside... deeply into vigorous early morning exercises.
Fiona could hear, "... argh, MEG!"
"Yes, Bill, YES!
Then a flurry of groans and 'fucks', and then, "Oh shit... Oh my fucking lord!"
Some undecipherable things and some things she KNEW were of a language she did not know.
After a few minutes of silence, she could not wait any longer--well, she could, but... Fiona did have a bit of the salacious voyeur about her. She could always pretend she had just gotten up. She just would love to see two of her favorite people in a sensual embrace.
Fi thought about knocking on the camper door; but, Meg and Bill would cover up and that would be no fun. So, Fiona perched on the camper's trailer hitch, from which she could see into the camper's interior through the small window at the front.
After the voices and moans had subsided minutes ago, Fiona had assumed the two were resting from their labors, but... no! They were quiet because both their mouths were eagerly clamped on the genitalia of the other...
They were both on the small camper bed, with bedclothes mostly on the floor. Fiona's view was not great as the window was dirty. After the (apparently) vigorous activity, both partners were leisurely stimulating each other orally; nips and licks, rather than hard core sucking.
Nothing that could be confused with cannibalism. More like a wine tasting... a lick... a sniff... a nibble... a smile of appreciation. Meg said something to Bill Fiona could not understand. Bill nodded and laughed. Fiona could understand his response of 'Me, too.'
They then both giggled like teenagers and jumped out of bed. Meg started to put on her dress, but Bill said something to the effect of 'Why bother'. They both laughed and exited the camper and headed for the tree line. Fiona carefully came down from her perch and peeked around the camper to see their backsides as they raced to--
Then, they suddenly stopped, and lined up carefully. Fiona now could hear Meg's voice command, "No hands, Bill!" With that said, Meg arched her pelvis and let out a strong stream of urine in front of her, approximately six feet. Bill, seeing the trick of tilting the pelvis, gave it a try, but came out a foot or so short, in this spontaneous pissing contest.
"Meg you have a height advantage on me, that's why you won."
"Bah... I have done this with the boys (ahem, MEN) in my family for decades. You had the advantage of seeing my technique... my peoples were so dismayed not being able to aim with their hands, they could not get any distance at all."
Watching Bill and Meg relieve themselves triggered the same urge in Fiona. She lifted her dress and squatted on the trailer hitch, her strong stream tunneling into the soft soil. Perversely, now Fiona did something she had never done before. Lacking any tissue, and preferring NOT to use the fallen leaves on the forest floor, she wiped herself with her bare hand... observed the wetness on her hand for a fraction of a second, and then licked her hand with her tongue. Her urine was heavily flavored by the honeyed herbal teas Meg prescribed, and the taste was not at all unpleasant,
"BEING NAUGHTY ARE WE??" Meg's voice startled Fiona from her urine tasting experiment.
"Yes... I don't know what possessed me... horny and curious?"
"Horny is a good sign of recovery."
Fiona was mildly embarrassed by Meg still being nude. (Bill was already in the camper...apparently unaware of their conversation.) Fiona was also surprised when Meg came closer and gave her a passionate kiss.
"I can tell, as I am the healer, that the sweat lodge did good things for you; what you don't know is what you did for me in the sweat lodge."
"Meg!"
"Yes Fi. I call you Fi now... because I know you are a friend... that I AM your friend... and I think MORE..."
Fiona's face glowed with embarrassment and joy on hearing Meg. "I have something to ask you Meg."
"Oh yes. Fi, I know, your period is due soon and you need tampons. Don't worry, tampons are what modern people use--I hope you didn't expect me to recommend mosses from the woods!!! HA! I am not THAT much of a traditionalist."
"I need to go to the camper and retrieve my dress... unless Bill has tried it on for fun. I am getting cold out here in the morning air, as my ardor subsides." Meg had a great life-loving twinkle in her eye.
Later that morning, Meg, Bill, and Fiona drove out to get supplies including Fiona's tampons; and she also purchased a TracFone, with Bill's credit card. Meg agreed, it was now time--it was now safe--to reconnect with her life from BEFORE.
What Fiona discovered, greatly upset her. Her first call was to Jesse and John; she wanted to apologize for how trashed she and Maisey left the house.
Jesse answered the phone, "Fi, it is good to hear from you. John and I were worried. We tried calling days ago and you never got back to us. Anyway, John went to the house and Fi... he was shocked, the place... has never been so clean. But why did you move out, and not tell us?"
"Jesse, I didn't move out... what happened to my stuff?"
"Darling, I don't know know. All I know is that John said it looked like a crime scene clean up--the place was spotless, and smelled a bit of bleach, actually; you... didn't murder anyone there?"
"Jesse!!!"
"Just kidding, Fi... but really you should have said something--we were worried."
