Paulette walked across the parking lot towards her car, clutching her coat against the biting wind. The temperature had dropped a few degrees and the air had the scent of a snowstorm. This would be her first winter outside Florida and she was apprehensive about the possibility of inclement weather. She had just about reached her car when she heard her name being called from across the parking lot. She turned back to see her co-worker Lela crossing the pavement to join her at her car. Lela was 10 years older than Paulette and manager of a different department, yet Paulette knew that someday they might be working together if she got a much-needed promotion. Right now, she was just a lowly secretary and hardly a blip on the radar screen of the big bosses, but Lela was always nice to her and noticed when Paulette did outstanding work.
"Hey, Paulette," Lela panted against the wind pulling strands of her long black hair out of her mouth. "I was wondering what you were going to do for the holidays. I know your family lives far away and you might be lonely."
"Well, I had just planned on ordering in some Chinese food, watching some movies on cable and catching up on sleep."
"Oh, no you don't. I wont have you spending your first Christmas in the city alone." Lela explained putting a friendly hand on the younger girl's arm. "Look, my husband will be working late, and with this storm coming he might not even make it home tonight. So why don't you come over and share some turkey and wine with me and we can gossip, do each other hair and pretend we are having a sleep over!"
Paulette chuckled at this, she knew that Lela was playing immature to poke fun at their age difference, but Paulette understood the underlying complement. It would be lovely not having to go back to a cold apartment and eating Chinese take out. Besides, she knew that Lela's husband was a cop and kept difficult hours and the weather service had been calling for a lot of snow to fall. A light dusting had started swirling to the ground and that made Paulette a little nervous; she had never driven in the snow.
"Please say you will, in fact, I wont take no for an answer. Follow me in your car to my house and you can sleep in the spare bedroom."
"But I don't have a change of clothes."
Lela looked her over from head to toe, guessing that her svelte frame would probably fit nicely into her own clothes. In fact, she let her eyes linger over various parts of the beautiful blondes body. "I don't think that will be a problem, I have plenty of clothes you can use and have when you are done. I'm a packrat and could use more space. The only thing is that you have bigger tits than I have, what are you a C?"
"Yes I am, but I can't impose on you."
"You can and you will!" Lela laughed. The parking lot was now empty with only their two cars remaining in the lot. She walked towards her own car and called back to Paulette over her shoulder. "Come on, follow me to my house."
"Wait!" Paulette cried before Lela got out of shouting range, "the snow. I don't know how to drive in the snow."
Lela doubled back and wrapped an arm around the younger girl. "All settled then, you will come with me. Oh, your hands are like ice! Where are your gloves? Well never mind, we will get you nice and toasty in moments—my heater kicks ass!"
Without further arguing, Paulette walked away from her car and into Lela's Mercedes.
"I'm sorry if I am dripping snow on your upholstery, this is an awesome car." Paulette said sliding into the passenger seat.
"No worries, I'm dripping just as much, we will be home before too long and until then I will try to defrost you as much as I can."
They sped down the expressway leaving the downtown district behind them. The traffic was miraculously light even though it was snowing and it was Christmas Eve.
They exited the expressway in a northern suburb that was way more posh than Paulette was expecting.
"You live in one of these houses? God these are beautiful." She said looking at the million dollar cape cods. This was a new community and all the houses looked identical, yet they all looked like far more than anything Paulette would ever be able to afford.
"Yeah, too big for my tastes but Joe likes it. And who knows? Maybe someday, we will fill it with kids. I'm only 30 so I have a few more years before I'm a decrepit old woman." Lela winked and downshifted to pull into her driveway.
"Home at last! Now my dear, we will see about getting those wet clothes off and filling you with good food and wine."
Lela opened the door and Paulette followed her into the massive living room. A set of stairs led up to the second floor and Lela walked past them and into the kitchen.
Paulette followed the woman and marveled at the view out the kitchen window. They were on a slight hill and they could see all the Christmas lights twinkling from the houses below them. The snow was accumulating a bit more, but Lela had a wooden deck that was partially covered.
Lela followed Paulette's gaze and opened the sliding door. "I really want you to see this," she said ushering Paulette outside. There was a hot tub already warming up under the awning and a fog bank was growing across the warm wet wood underfoot. "It's on a timer so I know I will have a warm tub waiting for me when I get home."
Lela walked through another door and into the master bedroom. "First things first! I have a bikini you can use and you can see the best way there is to relax after a day of work."
Before Paulette could even respond, Lela handed her a bikini.
"You can change in here, I am going to whip together some cold cuts and cheese to go with our wine. Get in whenever you are changed," and with that Lela walked out and left Paulette to change.
Dumbfounded, Paulette looked around at all the opulence of bedroom and wondered of she could get out of going into the hot tub, but there was a problem. She was cold, wet and shivering and wanted out of her wet woolen clothes and Lela didn't offer anything but a bikini. She didn't want to disappoint her hostess so she pealed off layers of damp cloth and pulled on the offered bikini.
Lela was right; they were almost a perfect match for size. Paulette looked at her athletic body in the full-length mirror and blushed at how much skin she was showing. She was never much for ostentation and while she was fit, she never thought of herself as pretty. This bikini made her ass look flawless, which is tough to do for such a small piece of fabric. Lela was also right about another point, Paulette's breasts were larger; they must have been a full size larger because they were almost spilling out of the top. Paulette was thankful that Joe, Lela's husband wasn't going to be here because there is no way she would wear this in front of a guy.
Paulette stepped outside into the freezing air and it nearly knocked the breath out of her. Lela was exiting the kitchen with a tray in one hand and a bottle in the other. When she saw Paulette standing there gasping, she motioned her to get into the tub.
"Damn, I knew you had big tits, but I didn't think they would have such a tough time being restrained!" Lela teased the younger girl as she got into the tub. Lela had also changed into a bikini and after she set the food and drinks down, she climbed into the steamy water.
The temperature change, going from the freezing ambient air to the steamy tub was a shocking yet soothing feeling. Goosebumps were rippling on Paulette's arms and her nipples were turgid against the bikini fabric, yet Lela seemed perfectly comfortable.
"I realized that we are out of wine, so I warmed up some brandy and a few snifters for us," Lela said pouring a snifter for Paulette and then for herself. She looked Paulette in the eye and smiled as she made a toast. "To good friends and good times for the holidays."
Paulette had never had brandy before, she wasn't much of a drinker, being technically too young to even buy alcohol, but she liked the way it warmed her up as it hit her belly.
The two women sat in the hot tub for a while, snacking on the cheese and deli meats and of course the brandy. Paulette lost count of how much she had; all she knew was that she was feeling no pain and everything seemed right with the world. If she had a slight hangover in the morning, it wouldn't matter because its not like she had to work.
"I want to thank you for inviting me over to your house," Paulette said. The alcohol was making her a little emotional. "Not everyone would have been so kind to me. After all, I just moved here, I don't know anyone and you are my first friend I have made."
Lela could tell that Paulette was getting sappy so she moved closer and gave the girl a hug.
