Rikki & Ginny On Tour
It was approaching Christmas break and Rikki and Ginny were curled up together on the sofa in the living room of Rikki's house, keeping warm and watching a movie. They hadn't made love yet, but they were in no hurry either. Rikki and Ginny were reveling in the journey of exploration they had embarked on. Lovemaking would come soon enough.
Ginny leaned over to Rikki's ear, "Angelface, I got a call from my publisher today. I'm not sure if it's good or bad."
"What did they say?"
"They have a tour lined up for me next week to promote the new book."
"Do you know where you're going?"
"I don't remember. The itinerary is in my bag. I'm scheduled to be a judge and panelist at a convention, Saturday and Sunday, then five cities in five days."
"But, you'll be back for Christmas?"
"Should be back sometime after dinner, Christmas Eve."
"I guess we can handle it. I'll have to change our plans, but it's doable."
"We had plans?"
"Sure. Parties, shopping, decorating the tree, Mistletoe and kissing, gifts and lovin'. Lots of plans. Lots of plans."
"I guess."
"You'll send postcards every day?"
"Sure."
"And souvenirs?"
"Something particular in mind?"
"An ornament we can hang on the tree?"
"I'll see what I can find."
"You'll call every night?"
"Planned on it." Ginny could tell that Rikki was excited. She would have Sarah and Allison make sure Rikki didn't get lonely. Ginny, herself, would use the postcards, phone calls, and Christmas shopping to keep occupied. Life on the road could be depressingly quiet.
Rikki yawned and stretched, "I'm going to call it a night. How `bout you?"
The baby was showing and Ginny got tired quicker than she used to, "I think you're right. Shall we repair to the abode?"
"Definitely." Once upstairs, Rikki and Ginny slipped on their sleep shirts and spooned up together, one of Rikki's hands on Ginny's tummy. When Jessica checked on them later, she tucked the lovers in tight, and kissed each one on the cheek.
Rikki handed Ginny a box when she and her mom picked up Ginny to take her to the airport, "Put this in your suitcase and don't open it `til you get to the hotel."
"Why?"
" `Cause it's a surprise."
Saluting, "Yes, ma'am," smiling.
Rather than try to go through Security, Rikki and Ginny said their goodbyes at Check-In. Rikki kissed Ginny's eyes and lips, "Have fun. Try not to be too hard on the contestants. Call me when you get there tonight?"
Ginny kissed Rikki's forehead, nose, and mouth, "I'll call if it's not too late. The convention may have some things for me to do when I get there. I've judged these contests before. We'll be lucky if we find one publishable author in the lot. Commenting on the entries before returning them takes the most time."
"I can sleep late. Call?"
"I will." Ginny turned and put her bag and coat on the conveyor, emptied her pockets into the tray, and walked through the metal detector. The pat-down and shoe inspection went quickly. She gathered up her stuff and waved to Rikki. Rikki waved back.
Rikki and her mom went home and had dinner. They were curled up on the couch watching TV when the phone rang. Jessica remarked, "It's probably Ginny. Go ahead."
Rikki ran and picked it up, "Laveque residence."
"Hey there, Angelface. Greetings from Las Vegas."
"Hey there, yourself. How was the flight?"
"Very smooth. I forgot that Vegas is two hours behind you, so I have time to eat dinner and call you before they put me to work. I have a question?"
"Did you open the box?"
"That was my question. The five rings are very beautiful, but why five."
"Just be patient, my Sihaya. Remember I said something about plans, plans within plans within plans. Just enjoy the rings. Hopefully they will cause your muse to visit. I love you."
"I guess. I love you too, Angelface. I'll call you tomorrow."
What Rikki didn't tell Ginny was that another box would be delivered tomorrow and to the other five cities she would visit the next week. And that there would be a special present waiting for Ginny under the tree when she got back.
Rikki had little time to be lonely. She went shopping with Sarah and Allison. Saturday night, she helped them decorate Sarah's tree and house. Afterwards, they had a small party to christen the season.
The phone rang amongst the laughter. Sarah picked it up, "Black residence." After a moment, "Merry Christmas, Ginster. How're the bright lights of the big city?"
Rikki hurried over, "I'm sorry, Sarah. I didn't know when we would be home and I didn't want to miss Ginny's call, so I forwarded our phone here. I hope that was Ok?"
"No problem, Rik. I'm jealous that Ginny is traveling while we're stuck here in the cold weather."
Sarah handed Rikki the phone, " Evening, Lover. How did the conference go?"
"Pretty good. My panel went OK. I autographed a number of books. I'm working on the last go-round of the contest entries."
"Anything good?"
"A couple with promise. The winners are going to be announced at the costume contest tonight."
"Anything else interesting happen?"
"There was a FedEx waiting for me when I got back from lunch with two boxes in it. One was marked Saturday', the other Sunday'. I put the Sunday' box aside and opened the Saturday' box. I found six chickens in it."
"Could they be geese?"
"Could be. Are you going to tell me what's going on?"
"Not yet."
"What am I going to find in Sunday's box, seven swans?"
"You're beginning to catch on."
Chuckling, "You are a nut."
"Yes, I am. Your nut."
"Let me talk to Sarah and Allison for a minute." Sarah and Allison both wished Ginny `Happy Holidays' and a good trip before handing the phone back to Rikki.
"Just wanted to wish you a good night, Love. Have fun at the costume contest."
"I love you. `Night, Angelface. Talk to you tomorrow."
" `Night, Sihaya." After hanging up, Rikki returned to where Sarah and Allison were huddled deep in conversation about presents and such. Before leaving Sarah's house that night, Rikki put a present with a "Ginny-1" tag under the tree.
Rikki had a good night's sleep. Being with Sarah and Allison made her miss Ginny a little less. After church, Rikki went shopping again with Sarah and Allison. That night, she helped decorate Allison's tree and house. Afterwards, the party continued on from the previous night.
When Ginny called, they talked about the rest of the convention and her flight from Vegas to Reno. There were, indeed, seven swans in Ginny's Sunday box and Rikki still declined to tell her what was coming next.
Ginny hinted about shopping for postcards and souvenirs for everyone. The book signing wasn't until after lunch, so she was going to do `touristy' things in the morning.
Rikki told Ginny good night and hung up. As she'd done yesterday at Sarah's, she put a package under the tree before leaving Allison's house, this time with a "Ginny-2" tag.
Monday was Rikki's turn. She did some more shopping. She still had to get something for her brother, Richard. Richard got along with their father, Gustav, even less than she did. He usually kept a low profile, as far away as possible.
Sarah, Allison, and their parents came over to decorate the tree and house with Rikki and her mom. The party picked up where it left off the night before. The phone rang and Rikki picked it up, "Hey, Gin. Good evening! Let's see, you're in Lake Tahoe, right?"
"Hey there yourself, Rikkster. Sounds like you're having fun. Yea, Lake Tahoe is the current stop."
"The party's been going on for three days now. How was Reno?"
"I walked around for awhile and took some pictures in the morning. Then limo'd to the bookstore after lunch for the book signing."
"How'd it go?"
"It seems I've developed a bit of a following out here. The line was long and I had to extend the time in order to see everyone. I signed a few extra copies and they took me to the airport."
"Goody, more fan mail." Ginny let Rikki help her answer her fan mail. Most of it was nice, some was funny, a few they had to keep track of. "Anything else?"
"There was another FedEx waiting for me when I got back from my walking tour."
"What was in it?"
"Eight cows getting milked."
"That's interesting. That makes eight cows, seven swans, six geese, and five rings. Any idea who's sending them?"
"The return address seems to hint that they are coming from your house?"
"My house?" Turning to the side, "Mom, have you been sending Ginny FedEx packages?"
"No, Darling."
"Mom says she hasn't sent anything and I haven't either. I'll have to look into that."
Ginny sounded skeptical, "You are definitely a nut."
"We talked about this before. I'm your nut."
"Yes, you are. I love you, my nut."
"I love you too. Talk to you tomorrow." Rikki made sure to put presents marked "Ginny-3" and "Ginny-4" under the tree.
Tuesday was the first slow day since Ginny had left on her trip. Rikki had lots of wrapping to do. Packages for Sarah, Allison, their parents, Ginny, Ginny's baby, her mom, her brother, and a few others all had to be wrapped and delivered. She also had to help with a few of the gifts for her mom's clients.
Carols on the stereo, surrounded by paper and ribbon and tags, Rikki got misty. This was going to be her first Christmas with Ginny. They would still have the day together, but the preparations are part of the fun. She made good progress and a stack of wrapped presents grew beside her.
Her mom came in and sat down on the couch with a cup of coffee. Rikki crawled into her lap and hugged her tight. Jessica hugged her back, "What's up, kiddo?"
"I miss Ginny. This was going to be our first Christmas together."
"She'll be back Friday."
"I know, but she's missing all the shopping and parties and presents and everything."
"Well, then you'll have lots to tell her. You have several postcards in today's mail."
"Good, the first things to go in the album."
"Have you got everything ready for delivery?"
"You bet."
"Let's get loaded up and go so we can be back before Ginny calls."
"OK." They dropped off Jessica's gifts first and stopped at Sarah's. The moms sat in the kitchen while Rikki and Sarah unloaded the presents. Allison and her mom arrived before they finished. The three girls huddled around the tree like little kids; shaking boxes, trying to see under the wrapping paper, trying to guess what was in each one.
The moms came in occasionally to make sure the presents weren't being abused too much. They used bringing in chips and drinks as an excuse. Sarah and Allison talked about a sleepover the next two nights. They were making plans when the phone rang.
"Rikki, it's Ginny."
"OhmyGod! I didn't think it was that late," and ran to pick up the extension near them. " `Evening, Ginny. I'm sorry I wasn't home. How did you know to call over here?"
"No problem, Angelface. When I didn't get an answer at your house, it wasn't much of a stretch to know you were with the `Terrible Two'."
"Terrible Two?"
"Sure, get those two together and mischief can't be far behind. Let me guess, you were shaking presents?"
Rikki turned to Sarah and Allison, "Ginny is calling you the `Terrible Two'."
"Wow! Thanks! That's better than the last nickname we had."
"How did the Lake Tahoe signing go?"
"About the same as Reno. A lot more people came out than we expected."
"Where are you tonight?"
"Denver."
"Any strange boxes waiting for you in Tahoe?"
"Yeah, nine ballerinas. Should I expect something tomorrow?"
"Could be?"
"Luv ya lots. Talk to you tomorrow."
"Luv ya too."
All three moms came into the living room. Rikki's mom started, "Sarah's mom has graciously volunteered to host the `Terrible Two' plus one starting tonight instead of tomorrow. Personally, I think she's a glutton for punishment."
Rikki exclaimed, "Mooooom!"
"You can borrow a sleep shirt for tonight and I'll bring you some clothes tomorrow. Dinner is on me tomorrow too. You interested?"
"You bet." Rikki jumped up and kissed her mom good night. Sarah, Allison, and Rikki ran up the stairs to Sarah's bedroom. A new sight greeted them, a queen-size bed.
"Mom and dad decided that I could use some more room. Allison and I have lots of space to play and if you or Ginny stay over, we don't need to get the sleeping bag out." Rikki explained her `Twelve Days of Christmas' twist with Ginny. They talked about what they hoped to get, what they thought they were getting, what they'd gotten for Ginny and the baby.
Finally, the three friends ran down and got ready for bed. Sarah looked at Rikki, "Did you want to borrow a sleep shirt, Angelface?"
"I think I can do without."
"I think someone who is missing her lady could use a hug. You agree, Sunshine?"
Allison contemplated Rikki for a moment, "I do believe you're right, Munchkin." She slid into bed first, then Rikki, then Sarah. They hugged Rikki close and went to sleep. Sarah's mom checked on them later and tucked them in tight.
Rikki heard the phone ring. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the bedroom door. Sarah's mom poked her head in, "Sarah. That was the hospital. I need to go in for a while. There are some deliveries I need you to make on the table in the kitchen. Rikki, your mom joined me for breakfast and dropped off a bag of clothes."
"OK, Mom. Let us know if you'll be home for dinner."
"No problem. Remember, Jessica is supplying dinner tonight." They heard Sarah's mom go down the stairs and the door close.
"Well, Ladies. We need to get moving before the day is over. As it is, we're looking at brunch instead of breakfast."
Sarah and Allison were still hugging Rikki and she felt incredibly warm and loved. She missed Ginny but she had their support too. The three friends unwound themselves and headed for the shower. They climbed in together and soaped up. Eventually there were three washed bodies and three washed heads.
They dressed and took the dryer, brush, and comb downstairs. They didn't have to dress to do hair, but house rules were that nudity wasn't allowed downstairs if neither parent was home. Allison worked on Rikki and Sarah on Allison. Rikki was finished first and dug into the `frig for something to eat. She poured three glasses of juice. Pulling out some pancake batter, Rikki got the pan hot and started turning out brunch fare while Sarah finished Allison's braid.
They cleaned up when they were finished and started sorting through the deliveries Sarah's mom had laid out for them. Allison called her mom to find out if she had anything for them to take around. She did. Rikki checked to see if her mom had deliveries she wanted them to make. They arranged to stop by and pick everything up on the way. Loading things into Sarah's car, the three drafted delivery girls started on their rounds.
Of course, they were offered cookies and punch at each stop. They had to answer questions about school and how their teams were doing. Usually, one of the girls had to be introduced. Sometimes they picked up packages for one of the moms. There were even a couple tagged for Ginny's baby. When they got back, there were two messages waiting on the answering machine. The first was from Sarah's mom, saying she would be home around six, and the second was from Rikki's mom, indicating she would be delivering dinner, about the same time.
That night, Rikki, Sarah, Allison, Rikki's mom, Sarah's parents, and Allison's parents sat around the table as one big family of eight. The girls talked about their delivery rounds; the gossip, the cookies, the presents, the people. The adults talked about their day. When the dishes were done, they found three stacks of presents in front of the tree, one for each family. Some were spread out around the Black's tree. The rest were set aside to take home.
A local TV station was showing "White Christmas". About halfway through the movie, the phone rang. Sarah bounced up to answer it. "Rik, it's Ginny."
Rikki ran to talk to her lady. Ginny was in Omaha now, with Des Moines her last stop before coming home Friday. Rikki talked about starting a memory album with the postcards Ginny was sending her. Ginny reminded Rikki about the postcards she'd sent from the state soccer tournament. They talked about shopping. Ginny admitted she'd had to buy another suitcase in order to get everything home and still might have to ship a couple of items. Rikki asked what had been in Ginny's FedEx box. There were ten kings to go along with the nine ballerinas, eight cows being milked, seven swans, six geese, and five rings.
When Sarah's dad checked on the girls later, he found Rikki spooned between Sarah and Allison. He tucked them in and kissed each one on the forehead.
Thursday flew by. They watched "A Wonderful Life", "Holiday Inn", and other Christmas classics. They listened and danced to Christmas carols and other songs. Eleven pied pipers joined Ginny's growing collection. There were more deliveries to make and receive. Rikki talked to her brother and found out where to send his presents.
Christmas Eve dawned with a light dusting of snow. The string of white Christmas' remained unbroken. This was to be a day of rest. Sarah's parents had to go to work for a few hours, but the only thing on the girls' plate was picking Ginny up when her plane got in about seven. They'd made plans to meet her just outside the baggage claim area.
Sarah's mom woke them up again as she was leaving. They got downstairs in time for brunch. In order to have dinner after Ginny arrived, everyone planned to snack before they left for the airport. Some of the newer packages were shaken, inspected, and discussed. Mid-afternoon, they got dressed and fixed something for themselves and Sarah's mom to eat, before heading off to the airport.
Christmas Eve was not the best time to be trying to get to the airport. A lot of people were moving in the same direction on what was probably the second busiest travel day in most airports. Sarah's mom was fortunate to be able to park fairly close to the terminal. They bundled up for the walk inside and stood near the escalator that Ginny would use to get to baggage claim.
Rikki spotted her first. She ran over and enveloped Ginny in a hug and a fierce kiss, "Welcome back, my Sihaya".
"It's good to be home, Angelface."
Sarah, Allison, and Sarah's mom wrapped the two lovers up in a group hug. When it didn't seem like the kiss would end anytime soon, Sarah's mom went, "Ahem! Why don't we take this on the road, Ladies? We still have to get Ginny's bags and make it through traffic. I suspect Ginny is hungry too." Rikki blushed a little.
"Yea. The flight wasn't long enough for meal service and peanuts can only fill you up so much." Ginny went over to the carousel and watched the bags roll by. After a moment, she reached in and plucked one out, then quickly reached in for another. The TSA employee verified her claim checks matched the tags on her suitcases.
Rikki took one bag and Allison the other. They walked out to the car and melded into traffic. Sarah and Allison sat in front. Rikki and Ginny sat in back. Ginny talked about the twelve drummers in her FedEx box today and speculated about the promised surprise at the end of it. They stopped at a restaurant for dinner and just made the next church service.
Sarah's mom dropped Rikki and Ginny off at Rikki's house. Sarah and Allison helped them unload. Everyone hugged and promised to continue tomorrow. Jessica wrapped Ginny up in her arms, "Welcome back, Little Mama. Have a nice trip?"
"Sure did. Having to shop and do touristy things helped pass the time. Looking forward to my daily FedEx box kept my spirits up. Right now, I'm ready to crash. It's been a very long day."
Rikki chimed in, "I agree. Besides, we all know that Santa won't come until everyone is asleep."
"You two go on. I'll lock up and come tuck you in shortly."
"Thanks, Mom." Rikki and Ginny went up to her room, undressed, and slipped under the covers. They kissed gently for a few minutes before Ginny spooned up to Rikki and got quiet. "Welcome back, my Sihaya. I missed you and I love you."
"I'm home and I love you too."
While the girls slept, Jessica was busy. After she locked up and set the alarm, she got out the presents from Santa that were stored away. She filled Rikki's and Ginny's stockings. She wrapped the few last minute items she'd picked up while Rikki was staying with Sarah. Jessica stood back. The Christmas tree lights were on. Presents overflowed the bottom of the tree and across part of the living room floor.
Ginny's internal alarm clock was still working. She woke up before Rikki and her mom Christmas morning. Easing out of Rikki's arms, Ginny donned a sleep shirt and padded downstairs. She put out the wrapped presents she'd brought in her luggage and wrapped the ones that weren't. The pile was now truly impressive. Ginny even spotted one or two tagged for her mom and dad. She added to the already overflowing stockings and hung the ornament Rikki'd asked for, a mouse sitting in front of an open book.
Cleaning up in the downstairs shower since she'd been too tired to do it last night, Ginny turned on the Christmas tree lights and started the coffee brewing. Setting the oven, she got a tube of cinnamon rolls ready to heat. Jessica was like Sarah's mom. She kept a bowl of batter prepared for the odd pancake brunch or other use. Just as good for waffles, Ginny got the iron out and started making waffles. Setting the table for three, she laid out syrup, powdered sugar, juice, coffee cups. She put the waffles and rolls back in the oven to keep warm and settled down with some coffee to wait for the sleepyheads.
It wasn't long before she heard Rikki or Jessica moving around upstairs. Ginny poured a cup of coffee for Jessica and set out plates of waffles and cinnamon rolls. Jessica appeared, yawning and stretching, "Good morning. Merry Christmas. Coffee is already poured."
"Merry Christmas to you too, Little Mama. Thanks. Why were you up so early?"
"Force of habit. And I needed to be sure that Santa found the things I brought back."
"Are we going to wait for Rikki or go ahead and eat?"
Ginny walked over to the stairs, "Rikki! Breakfast is on the table and your mom and I are starting. If you want anything before we start on presents, you better get your cute behind down here." Jessica chuckled as Ginny sat down, forked a waffle onto her plate, and grabbed a roll. Jessica was serving herself when they heard a door bang and someone pound down the stairs. Rikki was out of breath and a little dazed as she rounded the corner into the kitchen, " `Morning, Sleepyhead." Turning to Jessica, "Isn't it interesting? I've been on the road for a week, Rikki's been lollygagging around the house, and she's the last one up."
"Well, in her defense, she's done a lot of running around for me."
"Yea. And I'll bet she was fed at every stop. I thought she felt a little pudgy last night."
"The `Terrible Two' plus one have been inseparable the last few days."
Rikki's head was on a swivel as Ginny and her mom discussed her, "Cute behind? Pudgy? No fair. You were supposed to wake me up earlier."
"You acted like you were awake when I got up. I can't help it if you went back to sleep." Smiling, "Sit down and eat, you nut. The faster you're done, the faster we find out if we were naughty or nice." Rikki filled her plate and the three women dug in. The dishwasher was loaded. Rikki, Ginny, and Jessica walked arm-in-arm into the living room.
Jessica made sure everyone had a trash bag and pen. Rikki slipped on a Santa hat and started distributing packages. Ginny got some CD's and DVD's, but most of her presents were clothes or things for the baby; clothes, furniture, bottles, etc. Jessica got scarves and purses, knick-knacks for the house, art books, cookbooks. Rikki also got CD's and DVD's, clothes and some sneakers.
The stockings were filled with candy and other things; hankies, pens and pencils, jewelry, socks, and gag gifts. Rikki was very happy with the new ornament that Ginny had gotten for the tree, commemorating their first Christmas together.
Finally, there was a stack of bags filled with paper and ribbon, alongside empty boxes. Next to it was another stack of unwrapped gifts. Rikki and Ginny were huddled over their pile of tags, making sure they knew whom to thank for what gift.
Jessica spotted two more boxes under the tree as she sipped her coffee. Besides, she knew that neither of the girls' `big' gifts had shown up yet, "Santa Rikki, I think you missed something."
Rikki's head snapped up and she looked under the tree. Her sleep shirt rode up and Ginny got a glimpse of her bare butt as Rikki stretched out to gather in the remaining loot. Ginny sing-songed, "I see London. I see France. I see Rikki's missing her underpants." Jessica and she laughed as Rikki sat up and stuck out her tongue. She handed Ginny one of the two remaining boxes. "You first, Angelface."
Rikki tore off the paper to find a soccer ball, "Thanks, Mom?"
"Look inside, Honey."
Rikki pulled the ball out of the box to find written on it, `You will be attending Team USA Soccer Camp the week of June 21-27.' Jessica barely had time to put her coffee cup down before Rikki tackled her. Rikki hugged her mom and kissed her over and over, "I love it. Thanks, Mom."
"You're very welcome. Who is yours from, Ginny?"
"Mom and dad." Inside was a top-of-the-line laptop, carryall, and a certificate for a year of internet access. The only thing Ginny could say was, "Wow!" There was a card, `Merry Christmas. A famous writer should have top-line resources. Mom and Dad."
Rikki looked over Ginny's shoulder at the box, "Cool. We'll have to try it out later."
Jessica broke in, "Later is right. Right now, we need to get the trash out and get ready to go. We're due at the Black's for dinner at two."
Both girls chorused, "OK, Mom," and fell to getting the bags of wrapping paper and empty boxes out to the trash. They kept a few of the empty boxes to use for packing and storage. The presents for Sarah and Allison, along with the things they wanted to show off were set by the door. Once everyone had showered and dressed, they loaded the car and headed for Sarah's house.
Allison and Sarah came out to help unload the car. It didn't seem like the pile of presents under the tree had shrunk very much. Once they were done with the gifts, they checked the table to be sure it was set and started setting out the food. Once everyone was seated, Sarah's mom brought out the turkey. After grace, Sarah's dad carved the bird. Sarah claimed one leg and Rikki the other.
Everyone talked about the gifts they'd gotten so far. Ginny showed off the four calling birds and three French hens Santa had brought her to go with the rest of her Twelve Days of Christmas' ornaments. Sarah had gotten a collection of Soul Ballads' on CD. Both moms had gotten designer purses. The dads had gotten `dad' stuff, i.e. ties and socks.
Everyone was stuffed to repletion and the dishes were soaking. Seated around the tree in the living room, Santa Sarah started doling out the remaining presents. A lot were for Ginny's baby. Sarah handed Ginny a box marked Ginny-1'. Rikki took it from her, "You need to open Ginny-2' before this one."
"OK, Boss." Turning to Sarah, "Can you find one marked `Ginny-2'?"
"Sure. Here it is," and handed Ginny another box. Inside it was two doves in flight. "May I open #1 now?"
"Of course, my love. But you may not want to read the card out loud."
Ginny gave Rikki one of those (`What are you talking about') looks, but didn't say anything. Inside was a chocolate Christmas tree. Under it was a card:
Sarah asked, "What does the card say?"
Ginny blushed a little, "It's a private message from Angelface to me. If you're really, really good, I might tell you about it."
Smiling, "OK." Sarah continued handing out presents. Everyone got something until only two boxes were left. "Mom said I had to leave these two until after dinner."
Sarah's mom looked up, "Yes, Santa Sarah. You may open them now."
Sarah handed one to Allison, "You first, Sunshine."
She tore off the paper to find a soccer ball, "Thanks, Mom?"
"Look inside."
Allison pulled the ball out of the box to find written on it, `You will be attending Team USA Soccer Camp the week of June 21-27.' Her mom barely had time to brace herself before Allison landed on her lap. Allison hugged her mom and kissed her over and over, "I love it. Thanks, Mom."
"You're very welcome."
Rikki was happy, "I got the same thing, Ally. Waitaminute?! Do you think they're trying to get rid of us?"
"Probably."
Rikki's and Allison's mom spoke at the same time, "I hadn't thought of that. A week of peace and quiet for us. I just thought we were giving you a chance to do what you like doing."
Rikki and Allison chorused at the same time, "Thanks, Mom. We love it."
"Who's the other box for, Santa Sarah?"
"It's for me." Sarah tore open the paper and found inside a top-of-the-line laptop, carryall, and a certificate for a year of internet access. She bounced up and hugged her dad and then her mom, "Oh, wow! Thanks!"
"You're welcome, Darling. We thought a budding politician should have connections. This is a good way to start." Sarah pulled the computer out of the box and turned it on. The girls gathered around the screen to see what software had been loaded. OfficeXP Pro-2003 was there. Adobe Photoshop and other icons appeared on the screen. They Oooo'd and Ahhh'd as they explored.
The adults chatted while the girls compared their respective hauls. Deals were made to trade CD's, DVD's, clothes, and anything else that could be traded or borrowed. Eventually, everyone ran down. Presents were loaded and good-byes said.
When they got home, Rikki and Ginny unloaded the car. By the time they were done, Jessica had hot chocolate ready for them. They sat and watched TV for a little while before Jessica feigned sleepiness. She stretched, "It's been a long day, Ladies, and I'm going up to bed. Try to keep it down to a dull roar, please?"
"Mooommm!"
Jessica just smiled. She hadn't seen the card under the chocolate tree, but she had a pretty good idea what it said. Jessica went up to her bedroom and audibly shut the door.
Ginny took the mug from Rikki's hand and set them aside. She drew Rikki up astride her lap, kissed her gently, and laid Rikki's head on her shoulder. "Are you sure, Angelface?"
Rikki looked Ginny straight in the eyes, kissed her, and hugged her around the neck. "Yes, my Sihaya. You have loved me and stood beside me in my fight with my father. I don't want to hold back any more. Teach me what you know."
"My pleasure." Ginny cupped Rikki's face and kissed her forehead and her left eye. Ginny turned Rikki's head a bit and kissed her earlobe, drawing it gently into her mouth, nibbling on it. After a moment, Ginny continued down Rikki's cheek and across to her other earlobe, nibbling it too. Rikki moaned at the sensations. Continuing on, Ginny kissed Rikki's right eye and nose.
Ginny teased Rikki with her mouth. She kissed Rikki briefly, fleetingly. Then she kissed Rikki warmly, passionately. Ginny teased Rikki's lips and teeth with her tongue. When Rikki let her, Ginny investigated her mouth. Rikki's tongue started to duel with Ginny's. When Ginny pulled her tongue back, Rikki followed. Eventually, the need to breathe overruled their growing passion. They broke the kiss and rested forehead to forehead.
"Like that?"
"Wow!"
"Ready for the next step?"
"I guess."
"Let's go upstairs."
"OK."
Ginny pulled Rikki into the bathroom, "Let me bathe you?"
Rikki could only nod. Ginny drew her into another kiss, their tongues dueling, as she undressed, first herself, then Rikki. Starting the shower, Ginny and Rikki got wet. Turning Rikki so she faced away, Ginny soaped her hands and pulled Rikki back so they touched. Beginning with her hands, Ginny worked up Rikki's arms to her shoulders. When she was done, she told Rikki, "Rinse, please."
While Rikki was washing off the soap suds, Ginny grabbed the shampoo and started lathering Rikki's hair when she was done rinsing off the soap suds. Rikki whimpered at the sensations Ginny was creating as she massaged her scalp. After a few moments, Ginny moved them under the spray, "Rinse again, please." Rikki started rubbing herself against Ginny.
Ginny draped Rikki's hair over her shoulder so she could wash Rikki's back. Kneeling, Ginny kissed each of Rikki's perfect cheeks before soaping them thoroughly. She ran her hand down the crack between them, cleaning her rosebud. Proceeding down each leg, Ginny had Rikki lift each foot so she could wash the sole. Standing again, Ginny moved them under the spray.
Ginny soaped her hands again and started washing Rikki's chest. When she let her hands slide down onto Rikki's breasts, she heard a low moan. Ginny washed them thoroughly and felt Rikki's nipples come erect in her palms. Ginny pinched, rubbed, and pulled as Rikki pushed back.
Ginny moved on, reluctantly. She washed Rikki's belly and soaped her hands again, sliding her right hand down to cup Rikki's pussy. Rikki's whole body quivered as Ginny's hand made contact with her virgin slit. Ginny lathered her thoroughly, being careful not to get any into Rikki's vagina. She covered the same areas rinsing Rikki as she did when washing her. When Rikki's pussy seemed to be free of soap, Ginny gently pressed one finger just inside her vagina. Rikki shuddered through a mild orgasm. Ginny whispered, "The first of many tonight".
Turning Rikki to face her and kneeling again, Ginny kissed Rikki's belly button, her pubic thatch, and her clit. Rikki shivered with another mini-orgasm. Ginny washed down the front of each leg, making sure to get between each toe. Rising up, she rinsed them off again. Rikki was a little weak in the knees and having trouble standing. Ginny helped Rikki out of the shower, dried them both off, and led her to the bedroom. She put on a CD of love songs she'd borrowed from Sarah.
Increasing the sensorium, Ginny slid back on the bed and drew Rikki down in front of her. Ginny ran her fingers through Rikki's hair to check for tangles and massage her scalp. Satisfied there were none, Ginny started combing from the ends, beginning with short strokes and lengthening for fifty strokes. Fifty long, slow strokes from scalp to ends, lovingly applied. Occasionally, Ginny would lean in and nibble Rikki's ear or nuzzle her neck while she combed.
When she was done combing Rikki's hair, Ginny started with the brush. In addition to nibbling on Rikki's ear or neck, Ginny would whisper in her ear or blow softly. When Ginny was done, Rikki's hair was shining and she was totally relaxed. Drawing her back, Ginny drew Rikki's chin around, and kissed her deeply, completely. Their tongues dueled as the kiss lengthened.
Ginny laid Rikki back on the bed and straddled her; pussy to pussy, breast to breast. Wanting Rikki to rest a bit, they continued to kiss gently, fleetingly. After a minute or so, "Ready for more, Angelface?"
Rikki opened her eyes grudgingly, "More?"
"Well, I did make you a promise."
"I love you, Sihaya. I'm ready for whatever else you want to show me."
"Just enjoy what's happening and tell me if I do something to make you uncomfortable."
"OK."
Ginny kissed down Rikki's neck and across the upper part of her chest. She let her right hand cup Rikki's beautiful breast while kissing a spiral around the other. She massaged Rikki's breast, lightly pinching and pulling on the nipple, rolling it between her thumb and forefinger. Ginny used her tongue to trace every contour of Rikki's breast before taking the nipple into her mouth. Rikki's whimpers became interspersed with soft moans of pleasure. Her pelvis started moving involuntarily.
Ginny switched to the other breast. She kissed a spiral up it and traced the contours with her tongue. Her left hand was no less busy on the breast her mouth had just left. Ginny kissed, licked, sucked, pinched, and pulled on both nipples, switching back and forth. Rikki's pelvic movements became more erratic. She let the world know she was feelin' good. An orgasm crashed over Rikki, as intense as any Ginny'd ever seen. She enfolded Rikki to keep her safe.
When Rikki had regained her senses, Ginny asked, "I remember asking you if you had ever cum and you answered `I think so'. Is that still your answer?"
"Most definitely, NO! It is a most glorious experience."
"I hope we didn't wake your mom up?" Rikki blushed from the top of her ears down, but didn't say anything. They continued to kiss. "Think you're up to another step?"
Rikki's eyes got wide, "More?"
"I promise there's only one more thing I want to show you tonight."
"I'll still be alive afterwards?"
"I hope so."
"What a way to go. I'm all yours, Sensei."
Ginny kissed down Rikki's stomach, pausing to circle her belly button, and continuing to her mons. She gently tugged on Rikki's fleece, eliciting a Yeek' from above. Ginny looked up to find Rikki's eyes closed and her head rocking rhythmically from side to side. She kissed up the inside of both thighs to the crease between Rikki's legs and her pussy before taking a long, slow lick with the flat of her tongue right up the middle of Rikki's slit. Rikki groaned loudly when Ginny crossed her clit. Ginny nibbled on Rikki's lips, gaining another Yeek' from above.
Ginny licked the outside of Rikki's pussy a few more times before extending and sharpening her tongue so it would penetrate between her lips. Rikki nearly screamed as Ginny gathered her plentiful lubrication. Circling Rikki's clit instead of making direct contact, Ginny penetrated farther with each pass. Rikki had her hands in Ginny's hair and her movements grew more and more erratic. Ginny took pity on Rikki and licked across her clit on the next pass. An orgasm crashed over Rikki. Ginny was able to get her head from between Rikki's thighs, but held on to keep her from throwing herself off the bed.
Ginny slipped a finger into Rikki's vaginal passage. Pumping her finger in and out, she pulled Rikki's clit into her mouth and began flicking it from side to side while applying a gentle suction. Rikki's climax started within seconds and she announced her pleasure to the world. Drumming on her g-spot too, Ginny prolonged Rikki's pleasure through a second, third, fourth orgasm until she fainted.
Ginny checked to be sure that Rikki was OK. She turned Rikki on her side and tucked Rikki's head under her chin. Ginny wrapped her arms around her love and draped a leg over her as well. Rikki continued to shudder occasionally as she calmed.
Ginny heard the bedroom door squeak and saw Jessica peek around the edge. Ginny gave her a thumbs up. Jessica smiled, turned out the light, and closed the door. Ginny was almost asleep when Rikki took a deep breath and opened her eyes, "Welcome back, Angelface. Feeling OK?"
"What happened? I remember the orgasm starting but not ending."
"You decided to take a nap in the middle of things."
Rikki drew Ginny down into a kiss, "Well, you did promise me an experience to remember." She snuggled down into Ginny's chest and went to sleep. Jessica came back and tucked them in.
Ginny felt Rikki stir. The light coming in through the window told her that the sun was well up, "I don't know `bout you but I'm hungry and need to pee." Rikki didn't say anything but let Ginny lead her to the bathroom. Ginny adjusted the shower a little on the cold side. Rikki stepped in, gasped, and reached for the handles, "What's wrong?"
Rikki gave her a `you'll get yours' look, "It was a little chilly."
"At least you're awake." After showering they drifted downstairs, hoping to find something to eat.
Jessica took in Rikki and Ginny's lack of attire and sheen that told her they had just come from the shower. "It's about time slugabeds. I hope you're hungry?" She put a plate in front of each girl that held a grilled cheese sandwich and chips. "Juice or soda?"
Rikki asked for juice, Ginny a Diet-Coke. "Did you hear that wild animal last night? We must be closer to the woods than I thought."
Ginny replied, "Nope. Didn't hear a thing."
"Sounded a lot like a wolf howling."
Rikki finally realized that her mom and lover were talking about her, not an animal, "Mooomm!?
Jessica smiled at Ginny, "Well, it did sound like you were having fun." Rikki blushed from the top of her ears down. They had a companionable conversation and two more sandwiches each.
