Prologue:
The following is obviously a continuation of Sisterly Love Pt. 5, of which I recommend reading first as an introduction, or at least the least few paragraphs at a minimum. And as I mentioned in the prologue to Sisterly Love, this will be a long series by the time I finish documenting everything. So please bear with it. Thank you.
As always, comments are welcome as long as they are constructive.
----------------------------
After a long day on Tuesday where Brenda and I gave the house a long overdue cleaning from top to bottom and end to end, we both crashed after dinner in front of the TV and never recovered until the next morning.
The following morning while having a cappuccino I reminded Brenda about our appointment..."And we'll need to be there early. Noon at the latest so Lois will have time to do us both since we're getting a manicure and a pedicure."
"I didn't forget, and if you don't mind, let's skip our bike ride today since I'm still beat from yesterday."
"Since we both worked our butts off I suppose it wouldn't hurt, but for today only."
"Agreed and thank you. Now since we have time, why don't you tell me a little about Lois."
"Be glad to. But let's make ourselves another cappuccino first."
After we did and were comfortably seated out on the back patio since it was a gorgeous morning..."Lois and I have been friends for nearly twenty years. Next to Rita, I consider her my dearest friend. She's a few years younger than us, and like you she's twice divorced. But her marriages and divorces weren't as messy. Her and her first husband simply drifted apart after having three children. A boy and two girls, who are all fully grown and all on their own. As for her second husband, I'm not sure why she married him since he was a loser to begin with, but love is blind sometimes. Sadly it took her a couple of years to realize it and divorced him. If she hadn't, she'd still be supporting both of them. After her second divorce she didn't have anything to do with men for about a year until she hooked up with Bob, who she's been seeing on a regular basis for about four years now. I guess you could call him her steady squeeze. Unfortunately about two years ago he moved to Indy to be closer to his family and grandkids. The only time they see each other now is on weekends, which Bob spends with her. Not every weekend, but most, and on a rare occasion during the middle of the week. It seems to work for Lois, since the last thing she said she'd ever do is get married again."
"I can appreciate the never get married again part. Now I hate to ask Lacey, but since you said after Rita she's your dearest friend, have you ever been intimate with her?"
I was hoping she didn't pick up on the not so good choice of words, but since she did..."Yes, but only once, and it was totally spontaneous at the time, although it got pretty heated. Kind of where one thing lead to another and the next thing we knew we were in bed going down on each other. Our relationship isn't the same as between Rita and I, but we are very close."
"Thank you for being honest with me. The more I learn about you, the more you amaze me."
"Hopefully not in a bad way. Now it's time to get ready for our manicure and pedicure."
About an hour later after we showered and dressed, and were on our way to Lois's place, Brenda asked if Walter knew I was intimate with Lois.
"Funny you should ask, because I don't think I ever mentioned anything to him. I simply never thought to. Then again, I might have and forgot. Besides, he wouldn't be upset or concerned since he loves both Rita and Lois dearly. As they do him. Plus he's well aware of the special relationship I have with them. And before you ask, I'm thinking Bob doesn't know either."
Just as I finished we pulled into Lois's apartment complex. As we did, Brenda couldn't help but remark..."What a nice place this is. Looks brand new."
"It's about five years old. Lois was one of the first tenants. She moved in not long after her second divorce. It's a 55 and older residence. No children allowed, but it's pet friendly. It's a well run facility, and beautifully maintained. She's fortunate to have gotten in when she did. Timing couldn't have been better with it just opening to renters, of which all the units went fast. The only bad part is the section of town where it's located with a few retail and commercial businesses nearby."
Once we entered the lobby I rang the doorbell to Lois's apartment, after which she unlocked the inner lobby door. When we reached her apartment, which is on the first of two floors, she was in the hall waiting for us. I introduced her to Brenda, and like everyone else she couldn't believe we were sisters.
"I'm so glad to meet you Brenda, since I've heard so much about you from Lacey. I almost feel like I already know you. All except if I didn't know better I'd never guess you two were sisters since you don't look anything alike."
"I've been hearing that a lot lately since staying with Lacey and have seriously thought about getting a t-shirt with 'I'm with her and she's my sister' emblazoned on it."
After we were inside Lois's apartment she suggested she start immediately on our nails since between the two of us both getting a manicure and pedicure, it was going to take most of the afternoon. While doing my nails first, Brenda asked if she could have a look around her apartment, of which Lois said was fine.
After Brenda finished her tour..."This is a really nice apartment you have, and if you don't mind me asking, how much is the rent?"
