Julie had been my best friend for the last four years, we met at Presbyterian Hospital where we both worked as a nurse. She was a new nurse and I was assigned to be her mentor and preceptor for the first six months of her employment. We were glued to the hip and hit it off immediately. We had so many things in common and quickly began to hang out outside of work. We spent a considerable amount of time together, our boyfriends were also friends so we did almost everything together.
Every fall, the four of us would go to the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee for a getaway. Julie's boyfriend Brian had a hunting cabin owned by his family and we had dibs every October for a week of fun and relaxation. We were all so excited to be getting away this year, it had been a busy, grueling year for us all and we needed to escape for a while.
I went to Julie's to help her pack, anxious to get on the road on time so we didn't waste a minute of our vacation. Julie was notorious for causing us all to be late, so she needed me to keep her on track. The boys were busy getting all the supplies we needed to have a great time at the cabin.
"Come on, hurry up girl! The boys will be back any minute and we got to get on the road. Just throw the shit in there, we have an iron at the cabin." I chided her with a smile on my face.
"Lisa, stop rushing me, damn, I'm almost done, get your panties out of a wad!"
As I watched her rushing around the room, gathering clothing and folding them to place in her suitcase, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she really was. She was about five feet four with a slightly thick build, but she was well proportioned and curvy in all the right places. Her hair was golden with lighter blonde and red toned highlights, it was long and naturally wavy. She had green eyes which sparkled all the time, fitting her bubbly personality perfectly. Her lips were full and defined, perfectly shaped, like a lipstick models lips. I found myself staring at her and thinking about what it would feel like to kiss her, to lick her, I wondered what she tasted like and what her lips would feel like on me. I could so put YOUR panties in a wad... I thought to myself.
What the hell was wrong with me? I wondered, slightly embarrassed by my naughty thoughts. It was Josh's fault, he had asked me if Julie and I had "ever done it" the night he met her for the first time. Of course I told him we hadn't, which wasn't a lie, but damned if I hadn't been thinking about it... a lot. I has always wanted to be with a woman but the opportunity never arose and I was hoping when and if it did that it would be with Julie. It was like he planted a seed that was sprouting and growing fast. He confided that he had a fantasy of watching two women together and claimed he saw a sexual attraction between Julie and I and had thought about the two of us together a lot.
"Not happening Josh" I laughed, secretly I hoped that one day I could help him make that fantasy and mine come true. He seemed disappointed, but I got the impression he didn't quite believe me based on the small smirk on his face.
"Kara?" Julie tapped me on the arm to get my attention, "Where are you? Damn girl, you were in lala land, help me finish would ya?"
"Sorry, I was just daydreaming about how much fun we are going to have." I lied, my cheeks flushed red.
The boys arrived with all the goodies we sent them after, just as Julie and I finished packing. We were waiting at the bedroom door when they came up the walkway looking for us. Both had shit eating grins on their faces, obviously up to no good.
"What are you boys talking about?" I asked with my eyebrow raised in suspicion.
"Oh nothing Sugar" Josh answered too quickly, as he ribbed Brian in warning to keep his mouth shut.
He knew I loved when he called me Sugar, but after being with him for a year, I knew he used it to his advantage way too often and right now I wasn't buying what he was trying to sell.
"Let's go my lovely's." Brian joked as he glanced my way and met my eyes. He took Julies face in his big hands and kissed her, but never taking his eyes off mine, as though he were encouraging me to watch them.
I licked my lips unconsciously and he broke the kiss and winked at me, smacking Julie's ass playfully.
"Brian!" she yelped as she headed towards the car giggling.
I followed behind her giving Brian and Josh a suspicious look.
Swat!
Josh smacked my ass too and laughed, "That goes for you too Sugar, get that sweet ass of yours in the car." I cocked my eyes at him as I caught him and Brian giving each other a knowing glance. What were those two up to I thought to myself as I ran to catch up with Julie.
We arrived at the cabin just as the sun was setting and it was so pretty. The yellow, orange and red tones in the sky as the sun set behind the mountains and tall pines was breathtaking. The air was so fresh and smelt like fall. The crisp leaves and the scent of the fires burning in fireplaces from the cabins scattered across the mountain top permeated the air. Although the temperature was a bit on the chilly side, all in all it was the perfect combination to the start of a lovely getaway with my friends.
The cabin was cute and quaint. Made of logs cut from the surrounding forest, it had a porch that wrapped all the way around, old fashioned rocking chairs on either side of the front door and autumn leaves were blowing whimsically in the breeze across the steps and floor planks of the porch.
As we starting unpacking the car I couldn't help but notice how sexy Julie looked today, her nice round ass in those jeans had my mind thinking dirty thoughts and as she bent over to get her things from the trunk it was on full display. I couldn't help staring as she gathered her things from the trunk and day dreaming about what she would look like naked and how that ass of hers would feel in my hands. She turned to me and flashed a smile. Mmm...mmm...mmm, damn it, she is HOT, I shook my naughty thoughts off and started to get my own things from the trunk, our arms brush and it sends a tingle straight to my groin. Julie gave me a knowing look, catching me off guard by planting a friendly kiss right on my lips!
"We are going to have such a great time Kara" she whispered with a naughty grin on her face as she walked off. FUCK!
As I watched her walk away I catch Brian watching us from a distance, he is leaning up against the porch railing and it was as though he knows what I am thinking. I quickly look away, slightly embarrassed that he just caught me gawking at her ass. I walk past him hoping he doesn't say anything about what he just witnessed.
"Yea it's as nice as it looks Kara." He laughs and follows me into the cabin.
OMG I'm so embarrassed!

Although Julie and I had been friends for years, we never crossed that line...yet. I have to admit, the longer I knew her the more I wanted to cross that line. I had been fantasizing about it pretty hard for the last several months and often wondered if she ever thought about it too.
We came close one night about a year ago, we drank way too much after losing a patient who was near and dear to us both and we were consoling each other. We were crying and laughing, reminiscing and joking about Mr. Thomas, who was the sweetest man and always made us laugh. We had both taken care of him on and off for over 2 years and we thought he was going to beat the big C but we ended up losing him unexpectedly to pneumonia.
We were on an emotional rollercoaster the night we found out, as we sat in my living room floor drinking our sorrows away. We wiped away each other's tears, and took turns laying our heads in each other's laps as we shared our stories about him. Julie was lying in my lap, remembering a funny story about him as I was stroking her hair, running my fingers through the length of it. She was so pretty, even with mascara smeared under her eyes. I stroked her cheek, wiping away a tear trailing down her face to her lips, lingering just a moment too long when I swore she was about to kiss me. In that moment, I wanted to kiss her so badly, but we were interrupted by Josh coming home from work, just as her lips were about to touch mine. Damn it, terrible timing Josh.
Julie quickly sat up, wiped her face and excused herself to the bathroom.
"What's going on?" Josh inquired curiously.
"We lost our favorite patient and we just needed to cry it out." I explained, Josh didn't dig any deeper.
After that night. Julie and I seemed closer, if that was even possible. We have always had an undeniable bond, like we were kindred spirits from past lives. We were two peas in a pod and spent a lot of time together, too much time together, but now we seemed to share something deeper, a more emotional connection we both felt that night.
Occasionally I sensed that she wanted to revisit that night but she never did, so I kept my feeling and my fantasies to myself.
*****
We all got settled in, Julie and Brian took the bedroom on the right of the cabin and Josh and I took the one on the left. Julie and I started supper while the boys gathered wood from outside to get a fire going. As we moved about the kitchen cooking and chatting, I noticed Julie was constantly brushing up against me and flashing me sexy looks. Fuck, she is going to be the death of me if she doesn't stop, but damned if I wanted her to stop. She made my pussy tingle and by the look on her face I would have to say that was exactly what she was trying to do! Two can play that game though, I smiled at her as I licked my lips and sipped my wine.
We ate a delicious pasta dinner and then settled on the couch together in front of the fireplace. It has been a long day and we were all tired from the packing and drive. We drank and laughed and planned out our week with tons of fun things to do as we sat by the fireplace. Fishing, hiking, kayaking and mountain biking were a few of the things on our agenda, and of course, always ending the day with dinner, drinks and the good company of each other.
The boys head off to bed early so they can wake up early and pack our gear to kayak tomorrow morning.
"Night Sugar, wake me up when you come to bed." Josh got up and kissed me on the forehead, smiling as he walked off to bed.
"I second that idea baby!" Brian snickered as he grabbed Julie and whispered in her ear. Whatever he said made her smile mischievously as he found his way to bed.
"What was that all about?" I asked Julie.
