Mona was in a good mood already. Since the gathering was at her place, she didn't feel the need to consult anybody else about the music and was already in a familiar position on her bed, alternating between playing air guitar and singing, using a beer bottle as microphone.
"Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiince I've been loving you..."
A small group of people were meeting at Mona's place for a vorspiel before Kristine's big party later on. There was Marianne, already cheerful and more flirtatious than Anna'd seen her since she got together with Kathrine a few months ago. There was Tommy, a black Norwegian gay guy who had been Mona's best friend, apart from her cousin, since they met each other in junior high. But there was little doubt who was the evening's main attraction. Tanya, Anna's sister, had finally decided to pay her sister a visit from where she was studying in Munich. The slender brunette had everybody's attention and was peppered with questions. Especially Marianne seemed taken with her, Anna noticed.
"So," Marianne wondered. "Anna says you're bisexual?"
"Really?" She smiled in the direction of her sister, who seemed a little embarrassed. "Yeah, I'm sort of more into girls lately. No girlfriend though."
Marianne had a very positive take on that.
"Maybe that's just as well, thinking about all the attractive girls that are reported to be present tonight."
Tanya laughed.
"I hope you're right."
"I am also a little bit bisexual. I mean, obviously I prefer girls, but... -"
Mona broke off her imaginary guitar-solo to voice her protest.
"Bisexual, my ass!" she yelled from the bed. "Her only bisexual alibi is occasionally making out with Tommy when she's drunk."
"So what? Tommy was a guy last time I checked. Not that that I ever actually... checked."
"That in itself is no evidence," Tommy remarked smugly. "I am so hot that even lesbians can't resist me."
Marianne laughed and they kissed on the lips.
"He's so gorgeous, isn't he?" she said, throwing her arms around him. "If he hadn't been so gay, who knows? Anyway, I guess my naughty cuz helped me decide in favour of women," the blonde girl continued. "And, well, let's just say the arrival of your sister put me on an even straighter path to lesbianism. And then meeting my girlfriend Kathrine I finally realized I can actually be in a relationship with a woman."
"Why isn't she here, by the way?" Anna inquired. "You know she's invited."
"Kathrine's not really a party person and, well, she's twice the age of most guests. But she's fine with me going. She been repeating lately that she doesn't want me to miss my youth and even says she's fine with me flirting with other girls."
Mona heard what direction the conversation was taking and jumped down from the bed.
"Me and Anna are extremely pleased that Kathrine has turned out to be such a liberal person, aren't we, Anna?"
"Most def. I was really starting to miss making out with Marianne."
"Oh yes, me too," Mona said, leaning over and kissing her cousin on the lips.
"Here we go," Anna thought to herself. Ever since learning that Tanya would be visiting her, the cousins had been pestering Anna with incestuous requests. "It would be so fucking hot to watch you make out with her", "Your sister is so hot, how can you keep your hands off her?", "Come on, we are cousins and have sex, so why can't you and your sis?". Anna had made it clear again and again that sex with her sister was totally out of the question, though on a couple of drunken occasions she had hinted that a kiss was a possibility - if Tanya was up for it, of course. "Ok," Mona had said, "then Marianne and I will be kissing a lot to get you in an incestuous mood".
"Cousins with benefits", Marianne smiled. The Ukrainian glanced over at her sister to see her reaction. The two Norwegians followed up the first kiss with some even heavier making-out, before Mona signalled for Anna to follow her to the kitchen.
"Wanna help me make some drinks?" The two girlfriends darted off into the kitchen, leaving the rest of the company to finish their beer before the arrival of cocktails.
"Great, still a little bit left of Julia's plum liqueur," Mona confirmed. Julia was not a heavy drinker herself, but on Anna's request she would bring cheap and good liqueur from Poland. Mona and Anna, both dedicated cocktail-makers, loved to experiment with different ingredients.
"Plum liqueur? So you're planning to make..."
"Exactly," Mona confirmed, "My greatest achievement as a cocktail mixer. The sublime 'Anna's pussy'".
"Ok, just... eh... don't tell them that's what you named it, ok?"
"Oh, don't worry," the redhead grinned. "My lips are sealed. Until they are not."
Anna just shook her head. Trying to tell Mona to do - or not to do - anything was a highly futile exercise.
"Hand me the pomegranate, will you?"
It was Mona's original recipe. Plum liqueur, tequila, pomegranate juice, frozen raspberries, ice cubes and lemon juice in a blender, then top it off with sparkling water. "I can only think of one other thing as delicious as this", had been Mona's instant reaction when she sampled her creation for the first time. Hence its name.
Anna poured the contents of the blender over into some highball glasses and Mona added sparkling water and lime slices.
"Ok girls, get ready for a real treat."
"Mmmm," Tanya cooed, "looks nice. Anna has been praising your cocktail-making skills very highly."
"Cheers!" Tommy raised his glass. "To Anna's gorgeous sister."
"Thanks," Tanya smiled. Anna had expected her sister to be more apprehensive, but she seemed surprisingly comfortable with all the attention.
"Wow, this drink is a revelation!" Tanya exclaimed, licking her lips.
"And it has a name," Marianne teased.
"Don't!" Anna warned. To little avail.
"It is my most exquisite creation so I decided to name it after my girlfriend. It was christened 'Anna's pussy'."
Anna was visibly embarrassed, but at the same it always filled her with warmth when Mona referred to her as her "girlfriend".
"Eh... ok," Tanya responded, still smiling. "Nice name, I guess."
The ever more tipsy Marianne just couldn't help herself.
"Do you like Anna's pussy, Tanya?"
"It's delicious," the Ukrainian newcomer laughed.
"Of course she likes it," Mona smiled, "everybody likes Anna's pussy. Even her ...- ".
"OK, ENOUGH!" Anna yelled.
"But your girlfriend is right," Tommy remarked. "I mean, if I were like 2 % less gay you would definitely be the first girl I'd do down on."
"What?" Marianne exclaimed with a sad look on her face. "Not me?"
"Of course, you too... - "
Marianne cut him short.
"That's fine, Tommy, I can live with that. It's just one of the objective facts of the universe that Anna has the nicest tasting pussy ever."
"CAN YOU PLEASE... - "
"Come on, Anna, don't be such a prude."
