Chapter 25- Away we go final part.
Sunday morning drew and as we woke up from our various beds, Some of us had slept by ourselves, some had shared a bed and some had some shall we say, ' Active relaxing' We all got up, walked around naked and pondered how to spend our final day away. Before we all returned to the drudgery of motherhood, step motherhood and work.
Penny had found a USB stick and suggested instead of changing radio channels as we passed through certain areas on the three-and-a-half-hour trip back home. There was six of us so we should each download half an hour of music each. Like a mix tape. The others were keen, but I wasn't, maybe I was tired, Maybe I was getting old.
We ended up doing it Alphabetically. And because my name started with an 'A' I downloaded mine first. I downloaded half an hours' worth of CCR, The Eagles and some Procul Harum and Deep Purple. Brandi downloaded some Eighties music and some Oasis, Grace was mainly ABBA and Bee gees, Penny downloaded The Dixie Chicks and some Soul. Svetlana only downloaded two songs, both Tchaikovsky, the 1812 overture and Dance of the flowers. Yana downloaded some Russian folk music, Katyusha as well as classic country like Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard. As well as some late 70's soul like 'It started with a kiss'. It was an interesting mix and surprising in some ways. But thank god no one downloaded the spice girls.
We all downloaded from the accommodations computer onto the stick, It was quite a sight to see as six of us used the PC or waited to use it all naked. Brandi had walked around and gave every one of us, particularly Svetlana, a special good morning kiss. When I say a good morning kiss. I should say a full-on tongue kiss halfway down each of our throats as she played with our Pussies or tits, or both.
The downloading was done, we progressively got dressed and filed towards the main building for the buffet breakfast. Yet again a table by the window, with three of us not sitting with our backs to the window. At one point Yana and Grace disappeared but returned both smiling. Yana started talking to Svetlana and Svetlana seemed to also like whatever Yana was telling her.
As we all ate through our buffet we got talking about our final day. The only thing we had planned was Hell's Gate which was paid for. The original plan was to go to Hell's Gate to do the soak and mud thing, get lunch then check out and head home. But like all good plans someone spoils it.
In this case it was Grace, Yana, and Svetlana. Apparently, there is a tourism operator called Ducks. Who ran an amphibious tour of Rotorua and its environs. Using an old WW2 DUKW hence the duck. Grace had heard from the front counter staff that three spaces were left on their barbeque cruise of the lakes barbeque lunch included. Grace was keen, Yana was also keen as was Svetlana. These were the only spaces left for a 9am cruise returning at 1230. Grace had already penciled their names in for it.
"So, what are you three giggling about?" I asked them as they sat down.
"Oh, I just heard that there is a tour on an old amphibious truck thing, kind of like a cross between a bus and a boat. Barbeque lunch included fifty percent off because the last three left. So, I take them. I book in name of Grace lee plus two. But these two keen." Grace said, motioning to Yana and Svetlana.
"So, these plus two don't have a name?" Brandi asked.
"Of course, they do. But these two really keen. So, I knew they would do it. Also, I can't spell let alone pronounce their family names." Grace said.
" Our names aren't hard." Svetlana quipped.
"We assumed you three wouldn't be interested." Grace said, meaning Brandi, Penny, and myself.
"Would have been nice to have been asked though." Penny stated in a stern tone.
Grace, Yana, and Svetlana all looked sorry.
"Ha-ha just teasing you. I'm not interested and I'm sure Brandi and Anne aren't either." Penny said with a laugh.
Brandi and I said that we weren't keen anyways. Partly because we weren't and partly because we could both see the excitement in the faces of Grace, Svetlana, and Yana. And we didn't want to burst their bubble.
"So will you need a lift into town?" Penny asked.
"Thanks for the offer, Penny, but no, they have three more at this place going and another couple down the road, so they are picking us up for the 9am departure. They're going to pick us up at 830am." Grace said.
"Half past eight you say well you three better get ready then." Brandi said.
"What's the time now?" Svetlana asked curiously.
"Quarter past eight." Brandi said.
"So, fifteen minutes." I commented.
At that the three of hurriedly finished eating and ran off back to the room to add the finishing touches.
"Hey when does it get back into town?" Penny asked.
"One o' clock." Grace replied.
"Good we'll check out, pack your things and then pick you three up and then go to Hell's Gate one the way home and get back home about six or half past six this evening." Penny said.
"Thank you, Penny." Said Grace as she hurriedly ran back to the rooms to clean her teeth etc.
"Spasibo" Svetlana said and kissed Penny on the cheek.
Yana just kissed all three of us goodbye and then she and Svetlana ran to catch up with Grace.
"Thank you, mum." Brandi teased Penny.
"Well why not? They all seem excited. Their bags are already packed. And Hell's gate only really takes a couple of hours anyway. We've all been there before. Except for the Russian girls. And it gives us a morning free." Penny said.
"A morning free? Oh, whatever will we do?" Brandi cheekily asked.
"Pass, we could arrange Jason upcoming nuptials." Penny said.
"It would be nice Penny, but realistically, Yana has to be part of the conversation. Also, I don't know what a traditional Russian Wedding is like. We don't even have a date." I said in reply.
"Yes, what is the story with the date etc.?" Brandi asked.
"Well, they can't announce a date until Jay finishes school and Yana's divorce is finalized." I replied.
"Well school finishes in about four weeks and being a senior, he most probably finishes earlier., Anyway." Penny said.
"true, but they have to give it some time, so it doesn't look so pointed." I said.
"Hey, are you sure Jason has feelings for her? And does she really love him? Sorry I have to play Devil's advocate for a moment here." Penny said.
"Hey Penny, when I had my session with him, he was very definite in his affections for her. And it has been very apparent that she has true feelings for him, and He returns them." Brandi commented.
"You mean you did do some counselling? Not just fucking?" I said.
"Well, yes." Brandi said a little dejected.
"I don't know but if was Thomas, I would be a bit concerned. Like she hasn't taken her rings off yet as she?" Penny stated.
"Hmm, well that is true she hasn't taken her rings off yet, but then Jason hasn't exactly gone and got her any, has he? Also, she wants to keep them until the divorce comes through. If it is one thing Yana and I have spoken at length about is how unhappy Yana and in fact a lot of her mail order bride friends are. But she has gained her residency from what I believe her residency papers came in the post, and what would she gain from conning Jay really?" I said in defense of Yana.
"That's logical." Brandi said.
"On the subject of her divorce, she was checking her emails this morning and when I shut the PC down to come up here, I saw one from her lawyers." Penny said.
"PENNY!!!! You noisy snitch." Brandi scolded her.
"Yes, I know I shouldn't have peeked, but it was open but seemed unread. But to cut a long story short. Her ex-husband has agreed on a no-fault divorce, not contested. He was going to sell the house anyway because Andrew is doing a gap year overseas at the end of this year. And his dad who is Yana's ex was going to sell it anyway and downsize. So, he has agreed to her getting half of the house. If she doesn't want half the business. But the business is in the pre nup, anyway. And that's the gist of it. So, she just has to get it signed and back to the lawyers and then signed by a judge and it is official." Penny said.
"Oh, that's good. How much is her ex's house worth?" Brandi asked.
