"Maybe that swim would be good." Julie suggested.
"I thought you'd never ask!"
Wanda bustled across the sand of the quarry floor, jumping feet first into the clear, cool water. In seconds, she was in water well over her head.
Wanda floated onto her back, closed her eyes and drifted...enjoying the sensuous water caressing her body. The cool, clear water lapped between her thighs and around her breasts...until another spray of water splashed on her. "Brat!" she exclaimed and popped one eye open to see where Julie was. Julie was just outside of arms reach, so Wanda resumed letting the water cool her body.
In a few moments, Wanda felt Julie swim up next to her and grabbed her arm.
"Wanda... someone's coming!" Julie whispered urgently.
Wanda smiled thinking..."sure there is, Julie" ...and she continued to float...until Julie jerked her arm forcefully. This time she opened both eyes and lifted her head enough to let the water clear her ears.
Indeed, there was someone coming. Julie and Wanda heard the crunching of footsteps on the very trail that they had come in on.
They had left all of their things on the rock, their clothes, their lunch basket and Wanda's backpack, its top left open and its contents available for inspection by whomever might happen across it.
Julie was noticeably shaken by the uncertainty of the situation and of the extreme vulnerability of it all. Hundreds of 'what-if' scenarios filled her head as she clung onto Wanda's arm. She thought to dive and try to swim underwater to hide herself from the intruders, but just as her instinct to flee the situation was close to kicking in, two young women appeared from the mouth of the trail. Julie let out a huge sigh of relief at the appearance of the women. Wanda noticed this and laughed softly to herself.
The young women seemed to be of college age and were dressed in hiking shorts and bikini tops. They were carrying packs as well and the taller of the two walked toward the edge of the water.
"Hi!" she called out to Wanda and Julie as the other stood back near the trail opening. "Would you guys mind if we joined you?"
Julie looked quickly over to Wanda, hoping she'd ask them to leave. Wanda responded without consulting Julie, "Sure! C'mon in!" she shouted back.
The girl at the edge of the lake looked back over her shoulder and called to her friend who was now looking down at the pile of clothes and the backpack that we had left. She turned and walked over to join the girl at the edge of the lake. The two spoke to one another for a second and then they began to undress, slipping out of their shoes and dropping their shorts. The taller girl with the darker hair looked as if she was ready to get into the water, but her friend stopped her and the two spoke for just a moment. Julie and Wanda wondered what was going on. The blonde girl then reached around and untied her bikini bra at her back and then at her neck, tossing it to the ground, she then bent and shimmied out of the bottoms, turning to her friend as to say "there.", but Julie and Wanda couldn't hear. The brunette nodded and stripped off her swimsuit and grabbed the blonde's hand, pulling her toward the water's edge.
From their vantage point, Wanda and Julie could see that both girls had very nice bodies. Curvy, yet athletic. The brunette had a small patch of curls between her legs and the blonde appeared to be shaved, but it was difficult to tell because of her hair color. The girls waded in, slowly acclimating themselves to the cool water of the pit. Once waist deep, the brunette grabbed the blonde's arm and pulled her forward, submerging her fully. The blonde popped her head back to the surface and pulled her long hair back from her face and onto her back. The brunette then dove in, swimming underwater toward Wanda and Julie.
The blonde paddled around in the shallows as the brunette began to swim toward Wanda and Julie. Wanda floated easily, her body seemingly suspended on the water. Julie treaded water as she watched the dark haired girl swam confidently toward the older pair.
Julie stayed close to Wanda as the younger girl approached, nearly hiding behind her. The dark haired girl stopped a few feet of the older pair and popped her head above the surface of the water. Her eyes were brilliant green and her lashes and brows were dark. She has a small nose and her hair was slicked back over her head. She was very pretty. She cleared her eyes of the water and smiled.
"Hi!" she said exuberantly. "I'm sorry to barge in on you guys." She continued. "I saw your flags, but we were so hot from walking, we just had to get in the water and cool off. I mean, we knew you were women and everything"
"Our flags?" Julie asked suspiciously from behind Wanda.
"Yeah... The panties... in the tree... by the trail." The girl explained.
"What?" Julie asked, her glance in Wanda's direction.
"Right... If there are undies in the tree. Let us be... that's the rule out here. It's like a do not disturb sign." Wanda explained, pausing for a moment. "But there are no signs out here." She smiled. "So we use flags."
"But you ignored our flag-" Julie said to the girl.
The girl looked back at Julie and cast her eyes down, almost apologetically. "We hoped that you wouldn't mind."
"You're fine, dear... What's your name?" Wanda answered, hoping to keep Julie from berating the girl further.
The girl smiled. "I'm Jen. That's my room mate Sherri. We go to school over at Stevens Point ." She stopped and giggled a second. "We blew off class to go swimming today... and here we are."
Wanda smiled and introduced herself. "My name's Wanda and this is Julie. We're from Appleton . We actually came because the kids will be out of school soon and we wanted to enjoy the day... so here WE are."
Wanda and Jen chatted about the pit and the area. Wanda knew Stevens Point and knew people who went there. She brought up a few names and Julie, tired of treading water excused herself. "I'm going to go to shore... Should I get us some food out?" she asked.
"That would be great, dear... " she turned to Jen. "Do you have enough to share, Julie?"
"Yeah, I think so. We can share."
"Would you and Sherri like something?" Wanda asked Jen.
"That would be great" Jen answered.
Julie turned and began to swim slowly toward shore.
Wanda called over her shoulder... "No clothes, Julie..."
Julie pretended not to hear.
Wanda and Jen continued to float in the deep water as Julie made her way to the shallows. She could see the bottom beneath her again and put her foot down on the sandy surface below her. Julie walked toward shore and looked up to see the blonde girl sitting with her feet in the water. She looked up at Julie and said hello. "You're Sherri?" Julie asked.
"Yes. And you've met Jen?"
