Chapter 23

Saturday 29th August, 11am

Lauren packed her overnight bag slowly, dropping clothing into it haphazardly without thinking much about what she needed for the day. They had decided to go to Interlaken later and take a look around the shops, then return to Nikki’s house in the early evening and have tea while watching a film. They had also decided to spend the night at Nikki’s to make life easier for them early on Sunday morning to go to Rebecca’s wedding. She smiled as she dropped her dressing gown into the old case, remembering the last time she had packed it, and had never found a use for it. She recalled the evening with Jim and Simone, shuddering again as she visualised the camera flashing away as Jim pushed hard inside her. From now on, she resolved, that behaviour was behind her. She slammed the lid closed and made her way downstairs.

As she closed the front door and turned towards the road the phone rang, much to her annoyance. Lauren madly scrambled to let herself back into the house, dropping her suitcase in the hallway as she ran into the lounge.

“Hello?”

It was AnneMarie, who still sounded a little disappointed to speak to Lauren. As they exchanged news, it became clear to Lauren that it was really her father that AnneMarie wanted to speak to, and not herself.

“He’s out with my mum, they’ve gone to Grandma’s again, but he should be back mid- afternoon. Try around three’ish. Anything I can do?” she asked, ready for the negative answer and the comment that indeed she would ring again as she signed off, saying `see you soon, and take care.’ Lauren gathered her things again and slammed the door, thinking it was strange that AnneMarie needed to talk to her father and couldn’t tell her what it was about. Concluding that she would find out sooner or later, she whistled for the majority of the four hundred meters to Nikki’s house.

“Hey, it’s me. Where are you?”

“In my room, come on up”

Lauren climbed the stairs and pushed open the door to her room. Nikki was lying on her bed, watching a film on her television. The room was enormous when compared to Lauren’s little place, but then the whole house was much larger, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite with Nikki’s parents room. The overall pink effect in the room was complimented by the dark red curtains and matching bed-spread. It looked nice, thought Lauren, but it was all so obviously out of the hotel that she wondered how it would have been decorated if they had been out to normal shops and had to decide themselves. Regardless of the source of the furnishings, Lauren would love to have had a bedroom like Nikki’s, and always enjoyed staying at her friend’s house.

She dumped her suitcase by the door and climbed onto the bed, settling down next to her friend and trying to work out which film she was watching. Nikki smiled at her. Lauren hadn’t spent the night at Nikki’s house for almost two months and they were both excited at the prospect of a night of gossiping and giggling. There was an unspoken expectation that while they would normally have slept in separate rooms, that night they would find a reason to sleep in Nikki’s bedroom, even in the same bed. Their conversation skirted the issue, like the couple who know that the hidden agenda contains something very special.

“Hey, are we going to Interlaken, or what?” asked Nikki, rolling onto her back.

Lauren looked down into her eyes. “Dunno, what do you want to do?”

“I need some stockings for tomorrow. What’s this Rebecca like, is she OK?”

“Sure, she’s a real laugh. She’s really into this church thing. I think it’ll be fun. You know we have to get there at some god-awful hour?”

“No, when?”

“Someone’s going to collect us at about quarter to eight” said Lauren.

“Oh God, you’re joking!”

“Nope, that’s what she said”

“It’s goddamn Sunday”

“Yeah, I didn’t know it was such an early start when she asked. We can’t let her down now, you know”

“No, I know. Come on then, we’d better get moving. You can tell me about the wedding”

“Oh yeah” exclaimed Lauren as she realised that she had an enormous amount of news that would keep them both gossiping for days. “You’ll never guess what happened to me on the way home last night!”

The two girls giggled, and squealed in amazement and excitement as Lauren related her latest escapade to her friend, firstly on the bus to the station and then on the train into town. Nikki thought that Lauren had been very lucky not to have been seriously hurt - her mother had told her of local girls who had been attacked in cars and on lonely roads at earlier times in the evening than Lauren’s experience.

“My mum says that one girl was raped in broad daylight in a field only a few metres from the road.” said Nikki, holding Lauren’s arm tightly as she looked around the train carriage.

They continued to surmise what could have happened, Lauren confiding in Nikki that she had found the episode quite exciting once she was home safe. Nikki shook her head.

“I don’t know, it’s so risky taking lifts from people, even if they do know your friends. I think you were really lucky that he didn’t beat you up!”

“Hey, he’s a friend of AnneMarie’s. He was just a bit drunk!”

“Whatever, I don’t think I’d like it to happen to me, I’d much rather be in control”

“Hmm” said Lauren, turning to the window. There was a lot of sense in what Nikki said, and she was once again surprised that her own view of the situation could be so radically different. “I suppose you’re right.” She stared at the cars on the highway that ran parallel to the track, passing the train slowly. She had wanted to let Nikki know of her decision to confine her sexual activities to just Jim, but to mention it at that time would have been pointless.

“Not to worry, you’re OK”

They got to Interlaken a few minutes later and spent the next couple of hours shopping for a single pair of stockings. Lauren also bought a pair at the autumn sale price of seven francs. After a coffee and piece of cake, they caught the train back to Andleburg, missing their bus by less than twenty seconds which caused them to wait another half hour. It was therefore half past five when they entered Nikki’s house and their feet ached from all the walking and standing around.

“When are your folks back?” asked Lauren

“Not `till really late, maybe even early tomorrow morning. There’s some party on up at the hotel. I’m not invited, of course. Come on, let’s make tea!”

They ate and watched television in the lounge, deciding at around nine o’clock that the film on RTV was useless and they would be better off with a video upstairs.

“Hey, I’ll see if my Dad has found any more. Stay there!”

Lauren heard her tip-toe upstairs and cross over into her parent’s room. She emerged in less than a minute and shouted downstairs to Lauren.

“Hey, come on up, I found something!” whispered Nikki.

Lauren jumped up the stairs and followed her into her bedroom. Nikki pushed the cassette into her player and turned the television on. They sat on the bed as Nikki fast- forwarded through the credits. Lauren saw the amusement in her face as the first scene appeared. Nikki brushed her short blonde hair away from her face dramatically as two young girls walked through an amusement park. They were both a little older than Lauren and Nikki with healthy breasts and long, bare-skinned legs. Within a couple of minutes, two boys were following them.

Lauren lay on the bed alongside Nikki, both girls on the stomachs.

“I wonder if your Dad watches this stuff?”

“Course he does. What do you think, he gives it to charity?”

Lauren laughed, watching the girls flirting with the two boys. The camera-work was poor, as was the colour quality, but there was some storyline which was entertaining at least. The boys had taken them by car to their house which was both large and deserted. To Lauren’s disappointment, there was very little kissing and cuddling, and the film shot from a scene of the four of them together on the sofa, laughing and joking, to the next where they were naked in a bedroom.

“I think it’s nice to see people taking their clothes off. I wonder why they never show it on films?” asked Lauren.

“I suppose the people who buy the films just want to see naked girls.”

“Nik, do you think we’re normal. I mean, doing what we’ve done?”

“Yeah, why not? Like I said, there’s no harm.”

“It’s just that it feels so good, but nobody seems to talk about it”

Lauren looked back at the screen as one of the girls ran her hand up and down a large cock. She thought of Jim and how it had taken such a long time for him to fully enter her. In some ways she thought she preferred her brother’s cock, which was a comfortable size. The girl in the film was clearly bored, the look on her face expressionless, her actions automatic beyond belief. The other two now took part in the revelry, and Lauren saw that the second girl was particularly pretty, with shoulder- length dark hair and wonderful breasts. The two boys were pretending to be displeased with her, and told her to lie over the lap of one of them, while the other smacked her. The second girl sat by her feet, holding her legs apart.

“Nik?”

“Mmm?”

“I do love you”

Nikki turned to look at her and pulled her face towards her. Her gaze went from her eyes to her mouth as her eyes half closed. She kissed her lips so delicately that Lauren felt suddenly drunk, swaying to one side as she inclined her head and returned the kiss. They entwined their bodies, Lauren resting her head on Nikki’s arm as they kissed gently, meaningfully for several minutes. They touched each other’s face and neck, no more, just reassuring each other that they were there, safe and warm as they listened to each other’s breathing.

“I love you too, Lori.

The film continued, but neither of the girls was watching. When Nikki finally looked round to see what was happening, one of the girls was being spanked by the other.

“This is boring. I think I’ll have a shower” suggested Nikki. “Want to join me?”

“Sure, I love your shower”

They stripped in her bedroom, both girls then padding over to the bathroom in their night-wear. The bathroom was also reminiscent of a hotel, with gold fittings and a powerful shower that hung over the bath. The marble floor was grey, but never cold thanks to the under-floor heating that had been provided by the hotel maintenance staff (when they had nothing to do and had some spare parts, of course).

“I’m so sleepy, it must be my late night last night.” said Lauren, as she climbed into the shower with Nikki.

“What time did you get to bed?”

“Oh, about one, I suppose”

“But you didn’t wake up until eleven, there must be something wrong with you!”

“I’m a growing girl, that’s all”

“You certainly are, you’re tits are much bigger than last time.” said Nikki, looking at Lauren’s breasts that had rounded and filled out slightly in the past few weeks. “Like when you had that chewing gum!”
