With the final rehearsal for the show done, Sarah used the remaining time for some fun and relaxation. They first played some video games on Sarah's multiple gaming consoles, followed by several games of chess, in which Sarah beat Wendy soundly in every round. Wendy was surprised that she was being routed repeatedly in a game she thought that she was fairly good at. She never expected Sarah's skill level to be so high.
"Do you play chess a lot?" asked Wendy after the last game.
"No, this my first time playing in years."
"But you play so well."
"My parents said that I have a knack for it. Back then when I was in fifth grade, I won first place in a local chess tournament."
"Wow, Sarah, you're so good at everything! Have you tried the statewide chess tournaments?"
"No, I wasn't interested in them even though my parents encouraged me to go. I just think of chess as a casual game, not as something I want to compete in. Anyway, I've enough of chess for tonight; let's watch a movie."
"What kind of movie are we going to watch?" asked Wendy as she sat on the pink leather sofa.
"A romantic movie." Sarah handed Wendy a Blu-ray disc box cover.
Wendy was a bit shocked after making a quick glance. It was a lesbian romance movie. Even though Sarah had previously made her watch a lot of lesbian porn for the training, Wendy felt somewhat uncomfortable at the subject matter of the movie. Since she wasn't doing training right now, she would've preferred that Sarah had chosen some other movie, or at least one that was about heterosexual relationships.
"Why are we watching a romantic lesbian movie?" asked Wendy nicely.
"You don't want to?"
"No, it's just kind of... Never mind." Wendy's facial expression revealed her unease.
"It's actually a great movie. I've watched it several times myself. You need to be more open-minded, Wendy, even if you're straight."
"I guess you're right."
"Good, then let's watch it."
The movie was about two girls who knew each other since childhood. One was raised in a prim and proper family while the other was raised in a more liberal family. As they matured, they began to find out about their sexuality. They later fell in love with one another, but it wasn't easy sailing. They went through many trials and tribulations together, including objections from their own families. Eventually, the two girls overcame all obstacles and had a happy ending.
At first, Wendy watched with half-hearted interest. However, as the movie went on, she became increasingly focused on the movie. She was so into the movie that she didn't notice Sarah's hand slowly creeping onto her thigh and lightly caressing it until she felt Sarah's warm breath on her ear.
"Aren't those two girls hot?" whispered Sarah as they both watched the sensual make out scene between the two female protagonists.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Their kissing is so sexy that it's making me hot. Don't you feel hot?"
"No, not really," replied Wendy nervously as she turned around to face Sarah.
"Come on, not even a little? Don't you at least feel a little bit hot?" Sarah moved her lips close to Wendy's face.
"Maybe a little."
"Sarah, what are you doing?"
"We're going to kiss of course."
"But isn't the training over?" Even as Wendy was saying that her heart was starting to beat faster.
"Yes, but it doesn't mean we can't have some fun together."
Wendy wanted to resist, but found herself unable to. The sudden feelings engendered by Sarah's intimate closeness were starting to overwhelm her. Within moments, she was smothered by Sarah's passionate kiss and felt the weight of Sarah's warm body pressing onto hers. Their tongues twirled around each other as they exchanged saliva. Just as Wendy was starting to get into it, Sarah ended the kiss and released her hold on Wendy. Consciously, Wendy was glad Sarah didn't take it too far, but subconsciously her body wanted more.
When the movie ended, Sarah asked, "So how was the movie, Wendy?"
"I think the movie's pretty good. I'm happy they could finally be together after what they've been through."
"Wendy, did you notice that you share something in common with them?"
"Something in common?"
"Isn't it obvious, Wendy? For the sake of love, the two girls were willing to make personal sacrifices and go through a lot of hardships. You're kind of like them. You went through all the training for sake of winning Daniel's love."
A dreamy look appeared on Wendy's face. "I hope it'll work out well tomorrow night."
Sarah placed a hand on Wendy's shoulder. "Stay positive, Wendy. Think of winning, not losing."
"You're helping me so much, Sarah. I can never thank you enough."
"It's alright, Wendy. I doing this for you because you're my good friend."
After Sarah and Wendy did some stretches and refreshed themselves, they took a bath together. Wendy was initially reluctant of the idea of sharing a bath with Sarah, but through some gentle persuasion, Wendy agreed. Sarah's pretext for the bath was that it was a good way to unwind after a vigorous day, but her real motives of course went beyond that.
To set a romantic atmosphere for the bath, Sarah had previously placed special decorations to the bathroom. Scented red candles and small vases of flowers were placed in eye-catching locations. The lights were dimmed to give the illumination from the candles more prominence.
