Melinda "Janice, how

Janice thinks, "Years.
Since we were kids." Smiles at the thought.
Wanda grins "He seems
quite nice."
Janice "I love the

Melinda "Yes he seems
like a nice gentleman."
Wanda "Ow what zhe
hell was zhat for?"
Janice "Down Mel."
grins, "He's taken."
Wanda rubs her shot
arm.
Janice smiles at
Wanda innocently.
Melinda "Janice I
didn't mean that way. I know he's married. And we get to meet his wife
tomorrow?"
Wanda thinks She
is luck she didn't hit me in this arm.'Janice nods to Mel, "You will
love Betsy she's from the states, Colorado I think."
Melinda "Has she
been marri... mmm... been here long?"
Wanda looks at Janice
a bit miffed "I was being ze nice and you hit me? I'm not ze slut you think."
Janice "They have

Narrator
The lift comes to a stop on their floor.
Melinda "Wanda must
you use that kinda language?"
Janice looks at Wanda,
"I'm sorry I was just... never mind."
Melinda steps out
of the lift and walks towards the room.
Janice gets out and
waits for the ladies spinning the key in her finger.
Wanda comes out and
walks up to Janice "I'm sorry I didn't mean to get mad."
Janice smirks to
Wanda, "Its okay hon, I understand you are hurting."
Melinda waits at
the room door.
Janice opens it.
Wanda smiles "I just
don't want you to think all I am iz ze slut." and looks down quickening
her pace to the door.
Melinda walks into
the room and straight into the bathroom.
Janice watches Mel
and sits on the bed sighing.
Wanda relaxes on
the couch and starts thinking about the Germans.
Janice feels her
tummy rubble "You are never satisfied."
Wanda "Janice?"
Melinda is lookin
in the mirror at herself, "Lordly look at me?" Looks around for a washcloth.
Stops and sits down on the edge of the sink and starts to cry quietly.
Janice "Yes?"
Wanda "How do you
think zhey knew?" pauses, "Ze Germans I mean."
Melinda doesn't hear
what the ladies are sayin in the other room.
Janice knocks on
the bathroom door gently, "Mel wanna talk?"
Melinda tries to
stop cryin and turns around again to look at the mirror. She tries to compose
herself, "I'll be out in a minute Janice."
Wanda takes off her
shirt and looks at where the bullet grazed her.
Janice "Mel you will
heal fine"
Melinda washes the
blood off her face and tries to make herself presentable.
Janice turns to Wanda.
"Mel you got that box Rod gave you?"
Melinda "I know Janice.
Yes I put it on the desk out there."
Janice "Mel..."
Melinda opens the
bathroom door and walks out, "Yes?"
Janice backs up cause
she was listening in. "I was gonna..." Stammers.
Melinda looks down
at Janice, "What were ya doin?"
Janice "Say that
if you come out." stammers, "I can maybe fix you up."
Melinda holds her
arms out, "I'm out."
Janice looks at Mel,
"Well not yet you aren't but we will work on that."
Wanda looks at her
wound and begins to clean it tears coming down her face as she whimpers.
Melinda looks down
at Janice with a confused look on her face and looks over at Wanda, "Are
ya ok?" And starts to walk over to her.
Janice takes Mel's
hand and leads her to the desk and the seat there she opens up the box
noticing that was already opened, she looks at Wanda, "Good girl."
Wanda looks up "Yeah"
And grimaces she walks over to the Med kit grabs some thread and a needle,
Janice's booze and some peroxide then walks into the bathroom.
Janice watches Wanda.
Wanda puts the stuff
on the counter and takes a swig of the booze. Sighs and then ties the needle
on the thread. She takes a deep breath and pours some peroxide on the wound
and the needle and screams.
Janice thinks, big
baby, its only peroxide hell that doesn't hurt.
Wanda inserts the
needle at the bottom of her wound "eeeehh" and works her way up trying
to control her breathing. She has tears coming down her cheeks.
Janice listens, "Wanda
I can do that for you."
Melinda "What is
she doin in there?"
Wanda thinks 'Now
she says that.'
Janice looks up from
dabbing Mel's lip, "Wanda come here."
Wanda "No, take care
of Melinda, zis es a flesh wound"
Janice "So is Mel's."
Wanda "Okay."
Janice "Mel now no
kissing for at least a day."
Wanda comes over
needle in hand with half her wound sewn up.
Janice dabs the rest
of Mel's wound with ointment.
Wanda sits down.
Janice turns to Wanda,
"Hey nice job."
Melinda "No kissin,
huh? Ok I think I can do that."
Janice "Sure you
could, no candidates here Mel." Winks at her.
Wanda smiles sadly
and "Yeah you get ze practice doing zis in my line of work."
Janice starts to
sew up Wanda, "Here", and pulls a flask from her jacket, "Stronger stuff."
Wanda is relieved
she doesn't have to finish that on her own, and takes the flask and grins.
Melinda feels the
knots on the back of her head, "Do ya think I should have these checked
out too?"
Wanda takes a swing.
Janice waits and
finishes up Wanda first then turns to Mel and feels her head.
Melinda remembers
the hang over she had this mornin for drinkin last night.
Wanda looks at Mel
"Can I look too?"
Melinda flinches.
Wanda glances down
at her arm and thinks 'Looks like Janice has had ze practice too.'
puts her shirt on.
Janice "Mel I want
you to go lay down but don't fall asleep." She points to the couch and
finishes her work on Wanda.
Melinda "Don't fall
asleep? Why? Ya don't think they are that bad do ya?"
Wanda lifts her sleeve
for Janice to put a bandage on.
Janice nods to Mel,
"Yes I do." thinks smart girl Wanda easier this way.
Melinda stands up,
"Well let me find something clean to change into first." stops and turns
back to the girls, "Janice, we have to check your back also."
Janice "I'm fine
Mel, think my back has had enough activity."
Wanda lies down when
Janice is done to rest a bit.
Melinda starts to
go through her suitcase for something to wear. "Are ya sure Janice?"
Janice twists painfully,
"Yes Mel I'm fine"
Melinda sighs, "Janice
later on tonight we're gonna have a look at that. Ok?" she picks out some
clean clothes and head to bathroom again to clean up some more.
Wanda rolls over
on the couch.
Janice "Mel I'm fine."
she walks over and does ten sit ups to prove it, not showing the sweat
on her face.
Charles knocks on
the door, "I say ladies, I am heading to the cantina, would you like to
join me?"
Janice in the middle
of a sit up, "No thank you Charles." grunts.
Melinda is in the
bathroom room changin into something clean to wear. She sighs again when
she looks in the mirror.
Wanda mumbles "npo
phanks."
Melinda leaves the
bathroom and spots Janice, "Janice Covington, for heavens sakes, why are
ya doin those?"
Janice sits up and
catches her breath feeling the pain from her injuries she removes her shirt
and walks to the mirror in the luxurious room and pulls up her tank top
inspecting them. "To prove a point Mel." Drops shirt and looks back until
the all clear. Thinks, ‘Shit look at this mess.’ and pulls her shirt
up high.
Melinda glances over
at Janice and wonders what she's doin now.
Janice thinks, 'great
a few days healing at least.' She stands here admiring her abs for
a moment.
Melinda sees Wanda
is layin on the sofa and goes over to the bed.
Wanda nods off. Then
snorts back awake.
Melinda head is still
poundin. "I won't Janice. At least I'll try not ta." Gets in bed. She can't
stand it anymore, "Janice what are ya doin?"
Janice traces an
outline "Nothing." then spots Mel it the mirror, "Don't fall asleep"
Wanda peers in the
bathroom.
Janice turns and
checks on Wanda first giving her more covers then heads to Mel and puts
a knee on the bed, "We have to keep you awake or put you in the hospital."
Wanda decides she
has to go to the bathroom. And gets up and heads in shutting the door.
Melinda "No there's
no way I'm gonna go back to that hospital."
Wanda walks outta
the bathroom.
Melinda sighs.
Janice puts her other
leg on the bed and looks at Mel, "No you won't."
Melinda sits back
on the headboard.
Janice looks at Mel,
"Okay tell me a story." watches Wanda walks out of the bathroom.
Melinda "A story?"
And giggles. "What kind of story do ya wanna here? Ya know I'm not a storyteller
like Gabrielle was."
Wanda lays down
Janice "Oh Mel surprise
me" gets comfy next to Mel and glances at the at Wanda.
Wanda gets comfy
and looks at Mel she looks like a school girl
Janice looks younger
Narrator
The girls listen to a tale from a translated scroll and spend a quiet night
at home. They listened to a tale of Fins, Femmes, and Gems Eventually they
fell asleep, more relaxed than they have been in days. The night was uneventful
other than Wanda's snoring. When morning came and the girls were rested
for the first time in days
Janice snuggles next
to Mel in her sleep and has the strangest dreams. She opens an eye and
looks at Mel's breasts.
Melinda woke up and
was surprise to find herself still sitting up.
Janice removes her
hand and looks up at Mel, "You still awake?"
Melinda "Looks like
I fell asleep there." rolls her neck around since it's stiff.
Janice thinks, "Looks
like I fell asleep there." Looks at Mel her pillow for a second,
‘Soft too.'
Wanda "Zzzzzzzzzzzz."
Melinda looks down
at her, "Well looks like you did."
Janice smiles not
wanting to, "Morning Mel"
Wanda snores happy.
Melinda smiles, "Mornin."
Wanda "Zzzzz"
Melinda looks towards
and mad snorer and shakes her head, "Maybe we should wake her up before
she wakes up the whole hotel, huh?"
Wanda rolls over,
snorts and continues snoring. "Zzzz"
Janice extracts herself
tactfully from Mel, "Yes morning." and rubs her eyes, "How do you feel"
looks at the bruises that are hardly noticeable.
Janice turns away
from Mel, "Yeah you do the honors" and lays back down.
Wanda "Zzzz"
Melinda "The bumps
on the back of my head still hurt a little, but I think cause I was layin
back on it. But other then that, I free fine." gets up from the bed and
walks over to Wanda, "Wanda." She shakes her arm. "Wanda, time ta wake
up." Pauses, "Wanda?"
Janice falls asleep
with her arms up and looking cute.
Wanda looks at her
watch "Go back to bed its 6am, no?" rolls back over.
Janice snuggles the
pillow Mel left vacant.
Melinda "Wanda, I
know it's early, but... well... you're snorin awfully loud. And we don't
want ya wakin up everyone in the hotel." And holds back a giggle.
Janice rolls over
on Mel's side of the bed.
Melinda shakes her
arm once more.
Wanda grimaces "YEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOW!"
Melinda "Oh my!"
Pulls her arm away. "I'm so sorry Wanda! I forgot all about that arm."
Wanda rubs her arm
and checks her stitches a tad shaky. "Ez...ez okay."
Melinda "I'm sorry."
She can't believe she did that.
Janice sit up startled,
"What the hell" and draws her gun from where it was slung over the headboard.
Wanda is holding
her arm "Ahhh don't shoot her she didn't mean it"
Janice look at the
girls, "I can switch with Wanda if you two want the bed." groggily half
asleep.
Melinda looks at
Janice, "Put that thing away for heavens sakes."
Janice "Right." holsters
the gun.
Wanda lays back down.
Melinda thinks, "Oh
great, like I'll be able to get some sleep now with Wanda snorin in my
ear."
Wanda thinks 'oh
what a way to wake up...'
Janice she slips
under the covers again.
Wanda "Humph." and
rolls over.
Janice confiscates
Mel's pillow.
Melinda "I'm sorry
Wanda."
Wanda waves her hand
"S'okay go to sleep will you?"
Janice curls up in
a ball and is out again.
Melinda walks back
to the bed.
Wanda begins to relax
again. "Zzzzzzz"
Melinda stops in
her track and sighs.
Janice is in a ball
in the middle of the bed
Melinda turns back
around but changes her mind bout even tryin again. She looks over at the
bed and sees Janice is fast asleep again.
Janice looks too
cute.
Wanda rolls over
so her head is in the pillow muffling the snore.
Melinda "Well I guess
I could get to work on some scrolls." Sighs "I'll just let them sleep in
a bit." She makes her way over to the desk and takes out her pad of paper.
Janice rolls to her
side of the bed.
Melinda "Now where
is that honey hole scroll?" looks through the pile of scrolls, "Nope that's
not it."
Janice takes Mel's
pillows with her sighing contently in her sleep.
Melinda starts to
feel tried again while she is lookin for the scroll.
Janice in her dreams
can smell a faint trace of lilac and rosemary.
Melinda looks at
Wanda then Janice. "Well maybe they have to right idea." And gets up from
the desk. "A couple more hours wouldn't hurt."
Melinda goes over
to the bed, looks down at Janice.
Janice looks cute
sniggling Mel's pillow
Melinda sighs, "She
took all the covers and my pillow."
Melinda tries to
slide into bed with out wakin her up.
Janice moves slightly
letting go of the pillow.
Melinda "Aww doesn't
she look so cute." As she tries to grab her pillow from her.
Janice looses her
snuggling factor.
Melinda "That was
easy." Tucks the pillow under head and falls fast asleep again.
Janice looks for
something else to snuggle in her sleep and slings an arm around Mel. She
digs her chin into Mel's shoulder.
Melinda pops an eye
open and sees Janice's arm around her. "Just as long as she's comfy I guess."
Janice hugs Mel closer.
Melinda smiles before
fallin asleep again.
Janice has one hand
on Mel's taught tummy and one under Mel's head then slides a hand under
Mel's neck.
Narrator
The snuggling continues as late morning approaches, during their sleep
Janice nuzzled
Melinda is breathin
heavily.
Janice holds her
grip firm.
Wanda yawns and snuggles
her pillow and has her back to the group.
Melinda feels something
wrapped around her body.
Janice hugs Mel closer
and sighs.
Melinda slowly opens
her eyes to see that Janice is still wrapped around her.
Janice hand is somewhere
it shouldn't be.
Melinda "Janice don't
hug me so tight, hun. Janice?"
Janice brushes her
fingers over something.
Melinda raises her
eyebrow.
Janice wakes up and
is smiling holding Mel, "You feeling okay kiddo?"
Wanda wishes she
brushed her hand over something in her sleep.
Melinda clears her
throat, "Oh Janice. Yeah I feel fine, thanks." And looks away fast.
Janice sits up still
holing Mel around the waist, "Let me see" and looks at her face or tries
too.
Wanda is snuggling
with her pillow.
Melinda grins, "Well?
How do I look? Is my lip lookin ok this mornin?"
Janice "You look
beautiful." stares at Mel's eyes.
Melinda grins wider.
"Well thank ya Janice. But my lip? How does that look?"
Janice looks and
gets fixated on Mel's lip still half asleep, "Beautiful."
Melinda is wonderin
why Janice still hasn't let go of her. "Beautiful? Janice are ya still
sleepin?"
Janice "You should
wear your hair down more often." still staring at Mel's lip.
Wanda begins to stir.
Melinda takes her
hand and lightly taps Janice on the cheek, "Janice hun wake up."
Janice leans into
the hand recalling her dream and sighs.
Melinda "Janice?"
Giggles "Janice I think you're dreamin, come on, time to wake up."
Janice sighs looking
at Mel more awake now, "No I'm not you are beautiful." She props herself
on her arm and looks at Mel next to her, "You are gonna make some man proud."
Melinda eyebrows
shoot up her forehead and she blushes, "Well thank ya Janice. But..." Looks
closer to see if she's really up. "Someday I hope so." And smiles. "Time
to get going this mornin. I think Wanda is up. She's not snorin."
Janice touches Mel's
cheek, "How do you feel?"
Wanda rolls over
hearing voices
Melinda "Much better
after I got back into bed. My heads isn't hurtin anymore."
Wanda "Finally we
sleep in."
Janice looks a bit
heartbroken, "For once Mel I wanna just be lazy."
Wanda yawns.
Janice lays on her
back and stretches taking the covers with her.
Melinda "Oh well
now that sounds like a fine idea."
Janice "Good lets
get room service in bed shall we?"
Melinda sits up in
bed, cold now that Janice stole the covers. "Sounds wonderful with me."
Looks over at Wanda "Mornin again."
Wanda grins "Food
ez good".
Janice looks at Mel
and grins. "Wanda call down and order the usual."
Melinda "I'm sorry
bout earlier Wanda. I didn't mean ta do that."
Wanda rolls off the
couch and scurries over to the phone dialing room service.
Janice puts a hand
on Mel’s neck checking for bumps and rubs it lightly. "How's your head?"
Melinda takes a hold
of the edge of the covers and tries to steal them back from Janice.
Wanda orders the
usual and heads to the bathroom
Janice gives the
covers up
Melinda "My heads
fine Janice. " Coverin herself up to her neck to get warm again, looks
down to Janice, "And we're gonna take a look at your back today missy."
is wonderin if Janice is gonna move her hand from her neck.
Janice stops rubbing
Mel's neck and just sits there looking at her.
Melinda "Are ya ok
Janice? Still tired?"
Janice nods a bit,
"Kinda."
Melinda is wondering
if Janice is still half asleep.
Janice puts her fingers
through her hair and tries to untangle a tiny knot.
Wanda decides to
take a bath for a few minutes and hums the whole time.
Janice "Sorry I invaded
your space last night too." Looks at Mel, "I am so sorry
Wanda hums,
Melinda "So what
are we gonna go today Janice? Just relax around the hotel?"
Janice lays back
and stretches, "Sounds good to me." Thinks a minute, "Can you look at these
bandages?
Melinda "Sure. Turn
over so I can get a look at them."
Janice turns away
from Mel and removes her shirt leaving her topless.
Melinda "Oh wait."
And gets up from the bed to grab the first aid kit.
Janice looks at Mel
and doesn't care if she can see her from her angle now that she left the
bed
Melinda turns back
around to she that Janice has already taken off her shirt.
Janice sits there,
"Mel you okay?"
Melinda sits down
on the bed and starts to examine Janice's back.
Wanda sighs in the
tub
Melinda "Looks it's
healing up pretty nicely Janice."
Janice "Can you put
that goo on it that makes the burning go way?"
Melinda "Of course."
And takes out the tube of goo.
Janice moves flexing
her back muscles unconsciously
Melinda carefully
rubs the goo all over Janice's burns. "How's that feel? A little better?"
Janice winces a bit,
"Thanks Mel." after a few painful yet soothing moments.
Melinda puts away
the tube, "Anytime."
Wanda pulls the plug
in the tub and eases out.
Melinda "Ok lets
wrap ya back up."
Janice nods and lifts
her arms up.
Melinda wraps the
bandage around Janice carefully.
Wanda walks out of
the bathroom and sees Janice somewhat topless to and thinks 'Oh la la'
Melinda "There ya
go. You're almost as good as new."
Janice lowers her
arms and turns to Mel, "Thank you I owe you so much."
Door Guy knocks.
Melinda winks, "Lets
just say after gettin me away from those nazi's, we're even, ok?"
Wanda looks down
at her naked self , "I'll get ze door."
Janice smiles, "No
Mel, you have done too much for me I owe you." Smiles.
Melinda glances over
at Wanda, "Wanda! Put something on."
Wanda "I have ze
towel on my head." opens the door.
Melinda raises a
brow, "Wanda." Sighs and thinks, ‘What am I gonna do with that woman?’
Door Guy almost drops
the food.
Janice covers herself
up wit the sheet and looks at the door
Wanda "Ahh ze food."
Melinda stands up
and heads for the door. "Good lord Wanda, go put something on."
Wanda takes the food
from his trembling hands
Janice waves at the
door guy, "Who ordered food?"
Melinda takes the
tray from Wanda and raises another brow at her.
Wanda looks at the
door Guy "You want ze tip?"
Door Guy falls over.
Wanda "Guess not."
closes the door and looks at Mel "What, I was hungry?"
Melinda shakes her
head at Wanda again and brings the tray into the room.
Janice scoots to
the edge of the bed and sighs picking up her tank top and slipping into
it.
Wanda finds her shirt
smirking "What? can't a woman play ze games? We didn't have to pay ze tip."
Janice chuckles.
Melinda "Wanda ya
really have to start wearin clothes when ya answer the door. That poor
man nearly dropped our food."
Wanda looks at the
food and grabs what she wants and pops it in her mouth.
Janice slides off
the bed and makes her way to the bathroom and freshens up.
Wanda hands Mel a
carrot "Here, ze usual" giggles.
Melinda takes a bite
of the carrot and places the rest back down on the tray.
Wanda "Full?"
Janice comes out
of the bathroom and goes straight to her clothes bag sighing.
Melinda goes to look
for something to wear. "Not yet I think I'll eat the rest of the carrot
later."
Wanda wiggles an
eyebrow "But zhere is a cookie in here..."
Melinda "Cookies
and carrots? My, no thank ya. I don't think I can eat that much at the
same time."
Wanda pop some more
food in her mouth.
Melinda finds a nice
matching outfit to wear.
Wanda thinks 'That
was fast. Usually takes her 3 hours.'
Janice slips into
a normal attire for her in front of the girls.
Wanda grins.
Melinda "I think
I'll go take that a shower. Don't eat all the carrots now." And heads into
the bathroom and shuts the door.
Wanda smirks wonders
how long today's bath will be.
Janice "Wanda what
would you like to do today?" walks over and picks up the notes from the
story Mel told last night wanting to see the end she missed from falling
asleep.
Wanda sits on the
couch enjoying her food and putting her boots on
Melinda runs the
water, "Maybe a nice hot shower will loosen up my muscles."
Wanda "I don't know,
I feel much better after ze rest." looks at Janice "Zhought we were going
to deal with ze jade today?"
Melinda is enjoyin
the water washin over her. "Much better."
Janice "Well after
that." now engrossed in the story and walking over to get a piece of toast.
Wanda wonders what
that buzzing noise is.
Janice reads and
starts laughing "Aphrodite you are such a moron."
Melinda is still
enjoyin her shower.
Narrator
A pink light appears in your room and flashes before a woman appears.
Aphrodite "Excuse
me girlfriend?"
Janice jumps back.
Aphrodite "Moron?
Who are you calling a moron?"
Janice gulps
Wanda walks over
and knocks on the bathroom door "Ahh Mel? You might want to come out here,
no?"
Janice can't move.
Melinda thinks she
hears a knock on the door, "What?" She yells over the shower.
Aphrodite "Like you're
one to talk with that hair." Circles her, "And paaaaaaleeeeeeease, what
is it with the hat thing?"
Janice touches her
long red hair, "Um what about it?" can hardly speak.
Melinda sighs, "Can't
a gal relax and enjoy a nice long shower?"
Aphrodite looks back
at Wanda "Ooooo yes run and get Xena."
Melinda turns the
water off, "What is it Wanda?"
Janice stands there
with the notes falling on the ground.
Aphrodite stairs
at Wanda "What...what have you got going on? What
is that shirt?"
looks back at Janice "You and those silly scrolls."
Janice wants to move
but can't "Mel, Mel you there?" whispers out.
Aphrodite "I'm the
moron? Who is the one still playing with paper?"
Janice smiles (like
Joxer) stupidly.
Melinda sighs since
it does sound like Wanda isn't gonna answer her and wraps a towel around
her.
Janice grins and
looks at the vision before her.
Melinda holdin the
towel she opens the bathroom door and steps out.
Aphrodite sighs "Guess
I will pay little miss bathe allot a visit." and vanishes.
Janice looks at Mel,
"Did you see that?"
Aphrodite reappears
behind Mel and taps her on the shoulder "You hoo."
Janice runs in a
circle like a dog and stops looking again at the woman.
Melinda spots this
woman that is barely clothed and is in a state of shock and grabs her bosoms...
causin the towel to drop to the floor.
Janice moves a foot
before her knees threaten to give out, can’t move looks a the naked Mel
and stands there with her mouth open.
Wanda stairs at Mel.
Melinda looks down,
"Oh my." Bends over to pick up her towel and is just standin there with
her mouth open wide. "Who on earth?"
Aphrodite looks at
Janice "At a loss for words? Bout time, Festies will never believe me"
Melinda turns around,
"Who are ya? Hmmm Janice?"
Aphrodite "Nope I'm
not Janice."
Melinda is speechless
and wonderin if those bumps on the back of her head are makin her see things.
Aphrodite slaps Mel
on the rear "Been running lately?"
Melinda blinks a
few times. "Oh my."
Janice tries to form
words and it comes out as a whisper "Who are you?"
Aphrodite "What?
you wanna speek up there honey?"
Melinda jumps sideways
away from the woman. "Janice who is this?"
Janice shakes her
head, "Don't know she just materialized in our room."
Aphrodite rolls her
eyes "Mortals."
Melinda is still
clutchin her towel.
Aphrodite wonders
if she should wait for them to figure it out
Melinda raises her
brow, "She what?" And blinks again.
Janice "Who are you?"
Aphrodite decides
she can't take it "You don't know me?"
Melinda is just starin
at the women, "Wanda is she a friend of yours?"
Janice shakes her
head.
Aphrodite "I'm the
goddess of love, you know..."
Janice has her mouth
open, staring and her arms are limp.
Melinda backs away
slowly from the woman. "Aphrodite?"
Janice "Aphrodite?"
Wanda "Well actually
we have met."
Aphrodite "In your
dreams tootsie."
Melinda to Wanda,
"What?"
Janice can't stop
looking at the beautiful woman.
Wanda blushes and
looks away.
Janice stares.
Melinda still can't
believe this.
Aphrodite fixes her
hair.
Janice "Looks fine."
she croaks out.
Melinda "Aphrodite
the Goddess of Love Aphrodite?"
Aphrodite "Well duh!"
Melinda makes her
way over to Janice's side.
Janice isn't much
help.
Aphrodite rolls her
eyes "Were they always this slow?"
Melinda whispers
to her, "Are we dreamin or something?"
Janice stands straight
and gives it a go, "What is it that you want?"
Melinda stares at
Aphrodite.
Aphrodite "You know"
looks at Janice and whines a bit "Its not easy being the goddess of love."
Janice nods, "I can
imagine."
Melinda thinks, ‘Well
it could be possible. We did see Ares.’
Aphrodite "Oh really?!
And you call me a moron?"
Janice "Really what?"
Melinda makes her
way over to the nightstand to get her glasses and placed them on her face.
Aphrodite "Well if
you are gonna call me a moron lets see how good little miss warrior translator
here does."
Aphrodite zaps Melinda.
Janice "Hey wait
she didn't do anything to you." starts to intervene but can't.
Aphrodite "How better
for you to learn a lesson then use the ones you love?" and e vanishes.
Janice "What did
we do?" looks at the fallen notes then at Melinda, "You okay" walks to
her.
Melinda looks a little
confused. "What just happened to me?"
Janice shrugs.
Melinda looks down
at herself, "Well I just feel a little different is all."
Janice touches Mel's
bruised face, "Did she hurt you?"
Melinda still looks
confused, "No... not that can tell."
Janice inspects the
visible areas.
Wanda is shocked.
Janice lingers a
bit on her face "Are you sure you are okay?"
Melinda looks around
at the others then looks down at Janice, "Yes I feel ok. Just a little
different, but I can't tell what it is." Pauses. "Why? Do I look different
or something?"
Janice caresses Mel's
face, "Can't let anything happen to you." cant believe that came out of
her mouth, clamps both hands over her lips.
Melinda smiles, "Well
the same goes for you too Janice."
Wanda ignores the
two and tries to get the bandage off her arm.
Janice tries no to
look at Mel and closes both eyes.
Wanda sighs trying
to get it off. "Ow"
Melinda shakes her
head.
Wanda thinks "I can't
quite reach it."
Janice tries to calm
her rapid breathing.
Melinda "I... I think
I'll go finish my shower now."
Janice can't understand
why she has to calm her breathing.
Wanda "Will someone
please get this off of me?"
Melinda looks down
at Janice, "Are you ok?"
Janice opens an eye,
"Want me to scrub your back?" clamps her mouth visibly shut again.
Wanda looks frustrated.
Melinda looks down
to her again, "Hmmm no that's ok Janice." And wonders why she would ask
something like that.
Janice ignored Wanda
from being completely fixated on Mel now
Melinda "Janice?"
Janice "Yes my love?"
clamps her mouth again.
Melinda "Can ya help
Wanda with her bandage?"
Janice "Anything."
clamps.
Melinda thinks, ‘My
love?’ raises a brow and repeats, "Can you help Wanda with her bandage?"
wonders what has gotten into Janice.
Janice nods without
removing her hands this time looking like a total prat.
Melinda makes her
way back to the bathroom.
Janice walks over
to Wanda and immediately helps her tie her bandage
Wanda "Thanks Janice."
Melinda closes the
door thinkin, "My love? What has gotten into that woman?" And gets
back into the shower.
Janice tries not
to tie the gauze over Wanda's facing thinking about Mel
Wanda "Um, Janice
do you think you can tape it down, no?"
Melinda "Now was
that Aphrodite that was in there or should I really go to the hospital?"
Janice isn't paying
attention and wraps too much around Wanda's arm
Wanda "Janice? That
iz enough, Janice."
Melinda shakes the
thoughts out of her mind and finishes her shower.
Janice "Humm" after
using all the gauze on Wanda's entire arm, stares at the door waiting
for it to open.
Wanda gets frustrated
and yells "Melinda will you fix zhis!"
Melinda head swings
towards the door, "Now what?"
Wanda wonders 'What
is wrong with that woman?'
Janice looks back
at hearing that and then at the door, she beams "Mel!"
Melinda turns off
the water done with her shower.
Wanda has her whole
arm mummified.
Janice hasn't stopped
she starts on Wanda's head
Wanda mumbles as
it covers her mouth "Mweeel."
Melinda wrap the
towel around her again, a bit miffed that she wasn't able to take a long
shower like she wanted to.
Wanda slaps at Janice.
Janice ignores the
slaps still wrapping.
Wanda "Get off of
me."
Melinda comes out
of the bathroom, "What's wrong? Is she back?" And looks around the room.
Janice "You will
be fine Wanda."
Wanda begins to squirm.
Janice looks at Mel
and smiles standing up showing off her work.
Wanda "Get her off
of me!"
Melinda looks at
the women. "What's wrong?"
Janice points proud
at Wanda. "I did it for you my love."
Wanda looks like
a badly wrapped mummy
Janice "Just like
you said."
Melinda thinks, ‘She
said it again.’
Janice clamps her
mouth again.
Wanda looks down
talking muffled, "Will you please get me out of here?"
Melinda goes over
to sit down besides Wanda, "Janice what did ya do ta the poor gal?" And
started to unwrap all the gauze.
Wanda looks frustrated
and gives Janice an evil look.
Janice sits next
to Mel, "I helped her like you said to."
Wanda suddenly gives
Janice a longing look.
Janice scoots closer
to Mel, who is wearing only a towel.
Melinda wraps the
gauze around Wanda's arm better, "There ya go."
Wanda "Uh huh...."
stairs at Janice. "Did you get enough food Janice?"
Janice hears Wanda
and cant answer her.
Melinda notices the
women are acting a bit strange.
Janice runs a finger
up and down Mel's bare leg, "Wanna ditch the blonde?" wiggles eyebrows.
Wanda smiles at Janice.
Melinda holds the
towel tighter around her, "Janice, what has gotten into ya?" slaps her
hand off her leg.
Wanda gets a bit
miffed and shoves Mel to the side "Janice let us go out. We can go to ze
pub."
Melinda "Omph...
Why?!!" Sighs and stands up, "Well you're welcome Wanda."
Janice "I'm in for
the evening." and stares at Mel undressing her with her eyes.
Door Boy knocks.
Wanda is fixated
on Janice.
Janice ignores it
scooting up to Mel again.
Wanda "I could do
in."
Melinda "I'll get
it. Ya'll just sit right there and don't move."
Janice "Wanda go
get that."
Wanda "What's that
love?"
Janice stands up
with Mel and follows her.
Melinda "Janice go
sit down."
Janice "I want to
be near you my love." clamps her hands over her mouth again.
Door Boy knocks again.
Melinda stops and
turns around nearly bumpin into Janice, "Janice please?" Turns back "Comin."
Janice stares over
her hands covering her mouth at Mel's backside
Wanda watches Janice
Melinda opens the
door, "Yes?" And is tryin to hide behind the door.
Door Boy clears his
throat, "I'm here for the tray."
Janice walks up behind
Mel on the other side of the door and tugs at the towel.
Melinda "Oh... Ok
one moment please." Closes the door and goes to get the tray.
Janice giggles following
and playing with the towel.
Door Boy waits outside.
Melinda "Janice stop
that."
Janice "Why my love?"
clamps again.
Melinda tries to
get around Janice.
Janice blocks her
way.
Melinda "Janice let
me get the tray for him. Please move."
Janice touches Mel's
shoulder, "The toll is a kiss."
Melinda knows now
that something very strange is happening here.
Door Boy knocks again.
Janice leans on the
door.
Melinda eyes go wide,
"Janice, stop playin around. Let me get that tray." And tries to sidestep
Janice.
Janice puts all her
weight on the door.
Melinda shouts to
the door, "I'll be right there."
Janice smirks.
Melinda looks down
at Janice, "Can I get to that door please?"
Janice "Where's my
kiss?" puckers.
Melinda "Janice I
don't know what kinda game you're playin but this is not time for it. Now
please move." rolls her eyes in disbelief.
Janice sighs and
puts her head on the door fluttering her fingers in the air with a few
whooshes, "My love will not kiss me, I am distraught."
Melinda "My love?
Janice what has gotten into ya?"
Janice "You my love,
let me kiss you." Leans forward to touch Mel releasing her hold on the
doorknob.
Melinda tries to
move Janice outta the way. "Just let me give him this tray."
Door Boy knocks.
Janice is drawn to
Mel.
Melinda ducks sideways,
"Janice! Stop that." Gets a grip on the door knob and opens it.
Janice touches Mel's
cheek. Looks at the opened door and freezes.
Door Boy puts his
hands out "Uh yeah."
Janice "Let me get
that for you."
Melinda tries to
hand the boy the tray and get Janice's hand off her cheek at the same time.
Janice takes the
tray and tries to give it to him.
Door Boy grabs for
the tray.
Melinda "Sorry bout
that."
Janice misses and
ends up with her hands on Mel.
Door Boy watches
both women miss the tray as he lunge for it running into the girls spilling
food everywhere.
Melinda "Oh my."
And tries to hold on to her towel, looses her footin and lands on her butt.
Door Boy falls into
Mel on the ground laying on her.
Janice catches herself
watching Mel land onto the ground with that boy, her face turns cold and
she pulls the boy off her.
Door Boy face is
in the carpet.
Melinda "Oh dear."
holds tight to her towel.
Door Boy looks up
at Janice "Oh I'm so sorry...." his eyes dilate, "I love you, please come
with me?"
Janice looks at the
boy, "Scram."
Door Boy runs his
hand over Janice's face "I can't I love you."
Melinda "What?" Lookin
over at the boy.
Door Boy tries to
kiss Janice.
Janice shoves the
boy off of her.
Melinda gets up and
onto her feet.
Door Boy smiles "But
I know you love me too."
Melinda "What the
is going on here?!"
Door Boy grabs Janice
Janice "I love Mel."
and shoves him off of her
Door Boy "I can make
you love me."
Melinda "Get your
hands off of her." And tries to grab the boy off of Janice.
Door Boy stumbles
into the door frame
Melinda is now lookin
back and forth between the boy and Janice.
Door Boy "She is
mine."
Janice punches him
to the hall.
Door Boy "But love......."
Janice "I'm not yours!"
Melinda gets back
in the room.
Janice slams the
door.
Door Boy "You have
my heart." And falls to his knees and cried out, "Love!" waits,
no answer... Then thinks 'Flower, lots of flowers.'
Melinda is just standing
there tryin to figure out what just happened? "He loved ya? He said he
loved ya."
Janice "Mel don't
let that silly boy reflect on our relationship." touches Mel's cheek, "Now
for that kiss."
Melinda pushes Janice
back, "Now Janice wait a minute here."
Janice "My love what's
wrong?"
Wanda runs up to
Janice "Are you ok honey?" tries to pull Mel away.
Janice staring at
Mel, "Peachy."
Melinda lookin at
Wanda, "Well I never..."
Wanda moves in towards
Janice "Kiss me..."
Melinda goes over
to the sofa tryin to get away from both women.
Janice follows ignoring
Wanda
Melinda sits down
heavily, her brows knittin together.
Wanda moving in to
kiss Janice.
Janice follows Mel
to the sofa making Wanda miss her.
Wanda stumbles and
follows.
Melinda looks down
at herself and thinks, "I need some clothes on first." And stands up to
back into the bathroom.
Wanda stands next
to Janice.
Janice blocks her
way. "Mel where's my toll?"
Wanda grins and moves
closer.
Melinda "Janice I'm
not payin you're tolls to get to the bathroom, now please move." sees Wanda
behind Janice and wonders what she's grinnin bout.
Wanda places her
hands on Janice's waist and whispers in her ear "I will do anything for
you."
Janice backs Melinda
up to the door "Mel you know I love you, what's one kiss?" and swats at
Wanda like a insect getting out of her hold.
Wanda "Ohhhh you
like to play ze rough?"
Melinda "I love ya
too Janice but you're not gonna get a kiss from me now. Please move."
Janice "When then?"
looks deep into her eyes.
Wanda feels Janice
move into her towards the door. <"Oh I knew you loved me too."> Giggles
as Janice swats at her again.
Melinda rubs her
temple with one hand the other still holdin onto the towel, turns around
and heads back to the bed slowly.
Janice lunges for
Mel and misses. "Ah hard to get eh?"
Wanda grabs Janice
by the waste bringing her close.
Melinda sighs still
tryin to figure this out.
Wanda whispers in
French in her ear, <"You don't want her.">
Janice swats Wanda
off of her.
Wanda <"I could
show you so much more.">
Melinda turns around
quickly and heads for the bathroom door again.
Janice "I love Mel."
Wanda <"I live
for you. That will change in time.">
Janice "No it wont."
Wanda <"One night
with me.">
Melinda opens up
the door and slams it shut locking it.
Wanda leans in to
kiss her.
Melinda leans on
the door, "What am I gonna do? I can't have her runnin after me all over
Greece?"
Janice sidesteps
Wanda and looks at the shut door then kneels at the door and claws at it
"Mel!"
Wanda moves behind
Janice.
Melinda backs away
from the door, "Good grief."
Janice repeats the
name Mel over and over again still scratching
Wanda begins to rub
Janice's neck.
Melinda changes into
her clothes as fast as she can.
Janice swats Wanda
between scratches.
Wanda "Ez it ze job?
I will quit for you."
Janice "No its Mel."
Pushes her back, "Get off."
Wanda kisses her
head.
Melinda paces back
and forth in the bathroom, "I can't go back out there."
Janice swat, scratch,
swat, scratch.
Wanda moves her hands
lower "I could make you feel loved in a way she can not"
Janice wishes she
could go through the door. But instead swats Wanda.
Melinda thinks, "What
to do?" And continues to pace. "Ok... Wanda and the boy at the door both
are in love with Janice. And Janice is in love with me. But how?" Thinks
tapping her chin and pacing, "Aphrodite?"
Janice "Melinda we
can go anywhere the skies the limit my love." she calls.
Wanda Grabs Janice
and pulls her away from the door kissing her lovingly.
Janice pushes Wanda
off of her.
Melinda throws her
hands up on the air, "Great the goddess of love put a love spell on us.
Oh yeah sounds realistic." Throws her hands up on the air again. "Sure...
now what ta do?"
Janice "Get off...
stop that... quit it."
Narrator
Melinda sees a pink flash and the same woman standing in front of her.
Janice "Hey knock
it off."
Wanda "There is so
much I want you to feel."
Janice "Mommy."
Wanda kisses her
again.
Janice pushes again.
Wanda runs her hand
lower.
Melinda squints her
eyes nearly closed, "You! What did ya do to them?!"
Janice stands up
"Quit it!"
Aphrodite "You rang?"
Melinda "What did
ya do to Janice and Wanda?"
Janice "Wanda no!"
Aphrodite rubs her
nails on her chest "Who me?"
Janice flees.
Melinda sighs, "Yes
you. What did ya do to them!"
Wanda begins to cry
and go fetal rocking on the ground.
Aphrodite "I'm just
some moron goddess." Sighs, "What could I have done?"
Melinda turns around
and opens the door to see what all the yellin is about.
Janice escapes out
of the room to the hallway outside in her boxers, turns back watches the
door close and looks round.
Door Boy "My love!"
Janice backs up against
the door.
Door Boy runs up
to Janice and grabs a hold of her.
Melinda turns around
quickly again to Aphrodite, "I don't know what you're talkin bout. I know
ya had something to do with this. And I want ya to undo whatever ya did."
Door Boy plants a
kiss on Janice.
Janice "Sorry kid
and decks him."
Door Boy falls to
the floor.
Aphrodite "Ah ah
ah... Sorry honey buns. It’s not that easy."
Melinda peaks her
head outside the door to see who Janice is talkin to.
Janice backs up against
the door and fumbles for the knob.
Melinda "What do
ya mean it's not that easy? Ya did it... ya can undo it."
Door Boy "But I love
you."
Janice shoves him
off of her and escapes back into the room.
Melinda points to
the gals, "Look at them."
Aphrodite "You haven't
learned your lesson yet."
Janice slams the
door behind her and sees Mel peeking out.
Melinda "Now undo
it. My lesson? What on earth are ya talkin bout?"
Wanda is fetal.
Janice "My dearest!"
Aphrodite "You? Janice
what's the difference?"
Janice approaches
he door
Melinda rolls her
eyes, "What?"
Aphrodite "Don't
need a goddess of love eh?"
Melinda can see Janice
is in the door way.
Aphrodite "Think
I'm a moron?"
Melinda raises an
eyebrow.
Janice struts to
the door ajar.
Aphrodite "Well you
handle this and then call me"
Melinda is gettin
mad, "Well if ya can't undo what ya did, yes, then ya are a moron."
Janice calls out
lingering on the word. "Melinda..."
Aphrodite "What?
A goddess has to have fun too" and vanishes with a flash
Melinda "ARGH!"
Janice walks up and
peeks in the doorway.
Melinda turns back
towards Janice.
Janice eyes often,
"Hey there."
Melinda gives a small
wave and then rubs her temples again.
Janice walks up to
Mel in the room, "Miss me?"
Wanda "Yes I did
love." and gets up.
Melinda "Janice I
just went into the bathroom ta change. I wasn't gone that long." looks
over at Wanda and shakes her head, "What ta do?"
Janice "Too long."
inches closer into the bathroom.
Melinda slowly backs
up.
Janice "Way too long."
pins Mel against the sink.
Melinda cranes her
neck as far back as she can, "Now Janice..." And tries to push her back
a bit.
Janice stands on
her tipy toes, "Far far too long." whispers in Mel's turned ear and nibbles
it.
Melinda has a shiver
run down her back as Janice nibbles on her ear, "Oh my."
Janice gets bold
running a hand across Mel's leg, and continues nibbling.
Melinda tilts her
head to the side.
Janice trails down
her neck.
Melinda catches herself
enjoyin this a bit to much and stop to push Janice back some. "Janice now
stop. I have ta think here. And you are distractin me."
Janice leans closer
running her fingers up into Mel's not exposed thigh, "I like distracting
you." Whispering, getting her voice as low as she can.
Melinda tries to
compose herself.
Janice brushes against
Mel's inner thigh.
Melinda swallows
hard and pulls her hand away from her, "Now Janice stop that. That is really
distractin."
Janice leans to Mel's
face, "Are you sure?" and tries to kiss her slowly.
Wanda goes fetal
again sobbing <"She won't love me.">
Melinda is havin
a battle with herself here, "Yes... no... yes...no." And cranes her neck
away again.
Janice ends up kissing
Mel's neck again trailing south.
Wanda <"Noooo!">
sniff.
Janice puts both
of her hands on Mel's hips, "I love you Mel." between nibbles.
Melinda sighs, "Oh
my." And just takes a second to enjoy this.
Wanda rocks back
and forth.
Melinda then shakes
the thoughts outta her head again.
Janice hands slink
to Mel's rear and she kisses lower on her neck.
Melinda lets out
a breath she didn't know she was holdin.
Janice uses her tongue
now.
Melinda feels the
room startin to get warm here.
Janice starts back
up her neck leaving a trail. She whispers into her ear, "Kiss me Mel."
Melinda "Janice now
think bout this before ya do it. Ya might regret it later."
Janice "I would never
regret it."
Melinda looks down
at her hoping that worked and sighs when it doesn't.
Janice slips a kiss
when Mel looks down.
Door Boy falls to
the ground holding his head "What happened?"
Melinda feels Janice's
lips on her. Her mind sighing, "Oh my."
Janice continues
kissing Mel, just gently pressing her lips into hers.
Door Boy "How did
I get here?"
Melinda catches herself
and pulls back from Janice.
Janice opens her
eyes and looks at Mel, "I like how you kiss."
Melinda clears her
throat trying to look at anything cept for Janice.
Door Guy "Oh yeah
I was getting the tray." knocks on the door.
Janice still has
both hands on Mel's backside holding her close.
Melinda "Mmmm...
" Is tryin to think of a way to stop this before it gets to far outta control.
"Oh."
Janice leans up again
to kiss her.
Melinda licks her
lips and swallows again, can't stop herself and leans down into the kiss.
Janice more forcefully
this time and opens her mouth planting a rough solid kiss on Mel.
Wanda grabs her head
"What happened?" looks up seeing the two kissing.
Melinda’s mouth seems
to have a mind of it's own and she also opens her mouth to the kiss.
Wanda wonders ‘Where
was I when that started?’
Janice pushes Mel
back further on the vanity.
Melinda takes on
all of Janice's weight on her still kissin her.
Janice pulls back
slightly on the pressure and her hold.
Melinda hears her
mind screamin, ‘What are ya doin?’ but just ignores it and finally
pulls away out of breath.
Janice moves her
hands farther down on Mel's backside and lifts her effortlessly and puts
her on the sink. She smirks.
Melinda lets Janice
lift her up onto the sink.
Janice inches her
fingers over Mel's skirt still smirking at her. Then runs a hand up Mel's
arm lightly.
Melinda feels her
hand accidentally turn on the water.
Janice maneuvers
her hand to undo Mel's bun.
Wanda moves to get
a better look.
Janice moves her
other hand up and takes down Mel's hair
Melinda feels her
hair fall down over her shoulders, thinks ‘What am I doin?’
Janice puts her hands
on Mel's neck to draw her close again.
Melinda can't resist.
Janice leans in and
pulls her near, kisses her lightly.
Melinda allows Janice
to set the pace.
Janice lets her hands
wander to Mel's buttons on her blouse.
Wanda rubs her eyes
<"Am I dreamin?">
Melinda hears her
that voice in her mind again, "Stop that now Melinda Pappas. For heavens
sakes you're kissin Janice!" pulls back slightly. She takes a hold of Janice's
hands, "Janice we have ta stop this."
Janice looks at Mel's
hands and bends down trailing them with her tongue, knocking her into the
sink. She looks up at the wedged Mel.
Melinda tries to
catch herself from fallin into the sink.
Janice "Sorry my
love."
Narrator
You see a flash and the same woman is laughing and pointing
Melinda can't help
but giggle.
Janice tries to pull
her up and turns to look at the woman.
Melinda stops laughing
and looks at Aphrodite, "You! Do something bout this now."
Aphrodite "Well,
well, well, looky here, two wet women."
Janice "It's engaged."
Aphrodite "I fixed
the others."
Janice turns to Mel
taking a finger in her mouth and sucking on it.
Melinda rolls her
eyes at Aphrodite again, "And?" She eyes Janice.
Aphrodite feigns
innocence "What you don't look to upset?"
Melinda pulls out
her finger from her mouth.
Aphrodite stares
at her nails.
Janice looks at the
other hand and takes that one running the tongue between her fingers.
Aphrodite "In fact
you look a little..." giggles and wiggles her fingers "...wet."
Melinda looks over
at her again, "Well no not really, but she's under a spell. Now do something
bout it." pulls her fingers away from Janice' tongue.
Janice is faced looking
at Mel's chest and smirks.
Aphrodite "Say please.
And make her take back what she said about me."
Melinda "Aphrodite!
Enough with the games. Please fix Janice now."
Aphrodite crosses
her arms.
Janice leans in,
wetting her lips.
Melinda "Fast please!"
Looks down at Janice and what she is about to do.
Aphrodite "Can't
here you, was that an apology?"
Janice kisses Mel's
cleavage and runs a tongue...
Aphrodite looks away
"She hasn't apologized." waits. "Tick toc, I can't be here all day."
Melinda "Aphrodite!
I don't know what I'm sayin sorry for but yes, I'm sorry for whatever it
was that got you upset. Now please do something bout her." tries to pull
back from Janice's licks.
Janice picks her
up out of the sink and wraps her arms around her
Aphrodite "Make her
apologize for calling this Loooooooooovley goddess a moron."
Janice sets Mel on
the ground ignoring her struggling and continues nibbling her flesh.
Aphrodite looks exasperated,
"Well?!"
Melinda smirks, "She
called you a moron? That's what this is about?"
Janice reaches up
and undoes one of Mel's buttons.
Aphrodite "Hey, this
is tough work."
Melinda looks down
at Janice and lifts her face up to look at her, "Janice?"
Aphrodite checks
herself out in the mirror "And I do it soooooooo good!"
Janice is busy, "Hum?"
Aphrodite fixes her
hair in the mirror making kissy noises at herself.
Janice "Yes my darling?"
tries to undo another button.
Melinda "Could ya
please tell Aphrodite that you're sorry for callin her a moron?"
Janice "Why my love."
glancing down to find the button in question.
Melinda tries to
hold Janice's hand still hoping this will work, "Please, for me dear."
Aphrodite "Oh I am
the
goddess." and turns around to look at her own bum "Perfect."
Janice stares at
Mel's eyes, "What do you want? Anything for you my love."
Melinda shakes her
head at Aphrodite.
Aphrodite looks at
the two mortals and rolls her eyes.
Melinda "Please tell
her that you're sorry for callin her a moron." looks down at Janice hoping
that she'll do it.
Aphrodite looks at
Janice and crosses her arms.
Janice never turns
away, "I am sorry for calling Aphrodite a moron." one hand in Mel's hand
the other sliding down on Mel's rear
Melinda tries to
grab Janice's hands and hold them in front of her, she looks over at Aphrodite.
Aphrodite snaps her
fingers "I will leave the two of you all wet." and vanishes.
Janice looks up and
blinks.
Melinda blinks.
Janice pats with
her left hand.
Melinda "Janice?"
Janice "Why are you
wet?" feeling her rear.
Melinda is still
lookin down at her. "Ya sort of shoved me into the sink." And giggles.
Janice looks around
her eyes throbbing, "I did?" a bit incoherent.
Wanda is shocked
and somewhat disappointed that the goddess changed things.
Melinda nods, "Yes
ya did. Are ya feelin ok?" Tryin to see if she see any signs of the spells
still on her.
Wanda "Damn there
goes ze show."
Janice removes her
hand from the rear and looks at Mel holding her hand. "You are holding
my hand?"
Melinda looks down
and lets goes of it, "Oh yeah, sorry bout that." Lookes her over "Are ya
feelin ok?"
Janice touches her
head, "Eyestrain I think." looks at Mel's various stages of undress, "What
happened?"
Melinda "Maybe you
should go lay down for a little while."
Janice "No I'm alright."
Melinda follows Janice's
eyes to her open shirt.
Janice "Nice Wanda
look you have going there."
Melinda then quickly
tries to button them up, "Oh well ya were sort of... " Wonders if she should
tell her that she did it.
Wanda closes her
mouth "Er um yeah sorry."
Janice turns to Mel
getting close, "I was... what?" can feel her lips still tingly but doesn't
know why.
Melinda brows knit
together again, "Mmm... well..."
Janice focuses on
Mel's lips to see the ruby lipstick smeared then wipes her own mouth with
the same lipstick.
Melinda clears her
throat, "Can we get outta the bathroom first?" Looks around.
Janice leans in closer,
"What have we been doing?"
Wanda watches the
two.
Melinda "Well...
we were..." Stammers and looks around then down, "Sorta... well... kissin?"
And waits to see Janice's reaction.
Janice looks between
Mel's lips and her eyes.
Wanda "Maybe it was
a dream?"
Janice leans in close,
"Why?" only a breath or two away now.
Melinda "Well...
cause you were under one of Aphrodite's love spell."
Janice pulls back,
"Oh is that it?" sighs "Obviously you didn't enjoy it."
Wanda looks down
finding something interesting on her shoe.
Melinda is taken
back by Janice's statement, "What?"
Janice "Sorry I forced
you, I don't remember a thing." Looks up. "I would never hurt you Mel."
Gets quiet, and plays with the thread coming out of her shirt, "Can you
forgive me?"
Melinda "It's okay
Janice. You didn't really force me into anything I really didn...." Catches
herself and shuts up. She looks down at Janice, "Of course Janice."
Janice watches Mel
turn a shade of red, "Did you like it?" tries not to smirk but fails.
Melinda "I understand
that it was the spell and not really you." tries to hide a smile, "Well
Janice to tell the truth I sorta did." And looks everywhere but at Janice.
Janice moves closer,
"Good."
Melinda "Could we
please get outta the bathroom now?" stops to look down at Janice.
Janice looks around
Mel in the reflection of the mirror at her bum," You are still wet." and
grins up at her
Melinda "Yeah you
could say that again." And walks outta the bathroom.
Janice smirks and
follows.
Wanda hides her grin.
Melinda goes to find
something dry to change into.
Wanda "So what was
all zis about?"
Janice finds her
jacket, "Gonna go deliver this jade."
Wanda "And zat woman?"
Melinda to Wanda,
"And how are ya feelin?"
Janice glances at
Wanda, "Don't know." looks at Mel, "I will be right back."
Melinda is wonderin
what Wanda is talkin bout.
Janice stops and
really looks at her for once.
Melinda smilin, "Okay."
Janice is staring.
Wanda smiles.
Melinda "What? What's
wrong?"
Janice smiles sheepishly.
Melinda stops trying
to find something dry to wear and smiles back, "What is it Janice?"
Melinda shakes her
head and goes back to her search.
Janice sighs quietly,
"You are beautiful." she says quietly and turns to leave slinging the bag
over her shoulder
Melinda looks up
and wonders who she was talkin to.
Thu
Jan 27 18:31:21 CST 2000
Melinda is busy going
through her suitcase wondering, "When am I ever gonna unpack this thing?"
Janice gets in the
lift and shifts the pack, on the less sore side of her back.
Wanda watches Melinda
and rubs her temples.
Melinda looks over
to Wanda. "Are ya gonna be ok?"
Charles is sleeping.
Wanda "Oui, I think
my head will hurt for a while, no?" Rubs it, "Feels like ze hang over."
Janice feels her
lips, and wipes off the lipstick from her face and doesn't make eye contact
with the lift operator, silently chastising herself forgetting it was there
Melinda giggles,
"Do ya remember tryin ta chase Janice?"
Wanda "Chase Janice?"
Janice wonders what
happened to Charles
Melinda tries to
hide a smile, "Guess not." And grabs some clothes to change into.
Janice leaves the
lift and heads to the front desk
Wanda "What do you
me about ze chase?"
Charles is contemplating
the meaning of green
Melinda tries to
hide a smile again, "Well ya really wanted a kiss from the gal. Don't remember
that, huh?"
Wanda stands up and
fumbles, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Melinda "Oh.... well
lets just forget bout it then."
Charles you here
a bang from Charles room. He opens the door this time.
Melinda looks up.
"Did ya hear that bangin sound?"
Wanda looks in the
mirror and thinks 'Kiss?' "What was that bang?"
Charles rubs his
nose, and shuts the door
Melinda looks around
and tries to listen, "No sure but I can't go anywhere till I get outta
this wet skirt."
Janice is making
arrangements and is waiting for Rod to show up
Wanda looks back
"Looks like you has ze fun kissing her. Funny you do not have a headache,
no?" giggles "Just changin?"
Melinda looks like
she blushing and just smiles and walks into the bathroom.
Wanda "I'm going
to check on ze flyboy." Pauses and looks up from her changing, "And Melinda?"
Melinda From the
bathroom, "Yes?"
Wanda "Fix your lipstick."
Motions to Mel’s smudged lips.
Melinda blushes brighter
and shakes her head.
Charles walks along
the hall
Wanda giggles and
heads out "Charles?" looks around then opens their door.
Charles gets knocked
out by a door opening.
Big Rod brushes past
a few patrons going into the restaurant, "There you are Jan, I have been
waiting for an hour, what the hell were you doing?"
Wanda sighs, "How
did he ever get through ze boot camp?"
Big Rod takes a bite
from a sandwich and approaches the desk.
Melinda looks at
the mirror and thinks, "Well ya've gone and done it now, haven't ya?" Sighs
"Now I hope I won't regret doin that later."
Charles "Boot camp?"
and passes out completely.
Wanda "How did he
ever get through ze training place they go to?"
Janice wipes her
mouth one last time, hoping she got it off and approaches Rod
Melinda quickly changes
her clothes and gets her makeup fixed.
Wanda "Melinda!"
Bends over and tugs with her good arm on Charles wrist, "Come help me drag
flyboy here into ze room."
Melinda quickly opens
the door, "What's wrong?"
Wanda points
Melinda "What? What
happened?"
Wanda "At least he
has ze pants on."
Melinda goes out
to see what's wrong.
Janice walks over
and discusses the transaction with Rod in the privacy of his truck, sighing
thankfully that Tara is nowhere in sight.
Wanda "Can you help
me get him on ze bed." she cant help but giggle.
Melinda nods and
grabs his feet.
Janice hands Rod
the wrapped Jade, "Thanks pal. You wont regret this," and turns
to leave.
Big Rod "Oh Jan?"
Janice turns back
and sticks her head in the window "Yes Rod?"
Melinda grumbles
"My lord he's heavy."
Wanda grunts "He
is like dead weight, no?"
Big Rod "You should
go fix your lipstick, red isn’t your color."
Melinda looks around
for a way to get him up on the bed.
Janice blushes and
leaves hastily away from the giggling Rod
Wanda "He doesn’t
look zat heavy."
Melinda nods, "That's
true."
Wanda giggles "Ez
zhere a crane near by?"
Melinda tries to
drag him again.
Wanda falls down
trying to drag him, missing injuring her arm.
Narrator
The door to the girls room opens up then slams shut
Melinda "Well lets
just call downstairs and have someone come help us with him."
Wanda crawls up to
his face "Oh Charles?" looks up at Mel "Still out?"
Janice rushes into
the bathroom with her arm covering her mouth and slams the bathroom door.
Charles "Humph..."
Melinda "What happened
to him anyway?"
Wanda blushes, and
murmurs out in her thick accent "I might have bumped him."
A Tap Turns on
Melinda "Bumped him
isn't the word Wanda." wonders what's wrong with Janice.
Wanda starting to
feel bad
A tap turns off
Charles "More tea
mummy?"
Melinda sighs, "Wanda
I'll go call someone. Stay here with him."
A Door slowly
opens
Melinda goes back
into the room.
Wanda "Oui."
Janice peeks her
head out
Melinda looks up
at Janice, "Are ya ok?"
Wanda "Janice would
you help me and stop wiping the lipstick off?"
Janice hides under
her hat, "Peachy." she feigns confidence
Melinda stops to
look between Janice and Wanda and poor Charles that is out cold.
Janice walks over
to Charles and tries not to look at Melinda, while hiding her blushing.
Wanda "What? How
was I to know he was zhere?"
Janice picks up Charles,
throws him over her good shoulder and looks at Wanda, "Where do you want
him?" cheeks are definitely rosy
Melinda "Janice I
really don't think ya should be doin that."
Wanda "In zhere somewhere."
points into the bedroom
Janice "Lead"
Melinda "Put him
on the bed."
Wanda leads Janice
to the bed
Janice hasn't looked
at Mel yet and dumps Charles on the bed, still hiding under her hat. "Anything
else?"
Melinda goes over
to take a look at him.
Wanda "Umm yes zhere
is something."
Melinda eyes Janice,
"No that's all. Are ya okay?"
Wanda walks over
the other side of the room
Janice turns from
Mel feeling her face flush, "I'm fine, how’s your bruises, Mel? Wanda how’s
your arm?"
Melinda lifts up
his eyelids and takes a look.
Charles gone till
Tuesday they read
Wanda <"Janice
can I talk to you?"> waves Janice over
Melinda "I'm fine,
thanks Janice."
Janice finds the
clock more interesting, she glances at Wanda, "Sure shoot." walks to Wanda
Melinda touches her
lip then goes back to checking Charles.
Charles "Oh , Ms
Covington?"
Wanda <"Melinda
said something like I kissed you...and umm...">
Janice glances at
Wanda and rubs her eyes a bit from the ache in them, <"When?">
Melinda raises her
eyebrow at Charles and thinks, ‘Oh I see you want her too now, huh?’
Wanda <"I just
wanted you to know...that umm...I..."> stammers and pauses, <"Well when...oh
you don't remember anything odd?">
Janice <"Remember
isn’t the word I was thinking of."> puts a hand on Wanda's good shoulder,
<"You don’t remember a bit of it do you?">
Wanda swallows <"I...
I’m sorry"> grins lopsided, <"But Melinda seemed happy to kiss you">
slaps Janice on the arm
Janice goes red,
<"What? When did she?"> Stammers, <"You saw?"> stutters and
pauses to look at her and find her voice again.
Wanda <"No I don't
remember anything till I saw you two. Just that my head hurt."> squeezes
Janice’s arm, <"Well you were...she was...yes I saw it all.">
Melinda is still
busy checking Charles, "I think you'll be ok. Just don't try kissin anymore
openin doors." And giggles to herself.
Janice glances nervously
at Mel then back at Wanda lowering her voice needlessly, <"What exactly
did you see,"> pauses and glances again at Mel <"...details?">
Wanda grins <"Well
I saw that she couldn’t stop it from happening.">
Janice leans against
the wall, touching her rear to it about to fall over. <"Stop what?">
Wanda <"You know
Janice many people in Greece have to pay money to here me talk like this">
Janice raises an
eyebrow and looks at her, <"I am paying you, the Jade remember?">
Charles wriggles
is Mustache
Melinda glances over
at the two women talking and wonders aloud, "Now what are they talkin bout?"
Wanda <"It was
but a joke Janice. You are my friend. I don't ask that of you."> is a bit
hurt
Melinda looks back
down at Charles.
Charles attempts
his French, <"Wheel barrow">
Melinda wonders what
Charles just mumbled.
Janice smiles softly
at Wanda, and sighs our her nervousness, <"I don't remember anything,
Melinda, well she seemed so, I don't know I cant describe it, she was almost
happy when I came to. Please tell me what I did."> unconsciously
wringing her hands.
Wanda <"You mean
what you both did?">
Janice coughs nervously,
"Well yes... what we both did." she says in English forgetting to speak
in French
Wanda <"She was
not stopping you. She wanted you too.">
Janice blushes more
Wanda smacks Janice’s
stomach and winks.
Melinda heard what
Janice just said but did not turn around. Thinks, "Now who is she talkin
bout?"
Janice watches Wanda's
hand bounce off her rock hard abs
Wanda <"We will
talk about this when you have..."> smiles softly, <"...calmed down.">
Walks to her belongings and looks through them, then looks back. <"But
let me tell you. She didn't look to have any spell on her"> and winks again.
Janice looks at Wanda,
<"I need to know, something has changed I can feel it.">
Janice looks at Melinda
Wanda looks at Mel
<"For the better?">
Melinda still has
her back turned towards them.
Janice is many a
shades of red
Wanda looks back,
"Oui" and looks between the two women, <"Looks better to me">
Charles is delirious
"I once knew a girl from Devon"
Melinda hopes this
bump on Charles head will get him outta his clock stage now.
Charles sings, "Trulalala."
Janice approaches
Melinda and starts to talk, "Mel I..."Stammer and looks at Charles
Wanda thinks ‘Not
better for me’ and sighs.
Melinda turns to
look at Janice, "You what?"
Janice stops and
points, the blush disappearing, "What did you do to him?"
Melinda looks back
down at Charles, "I didn't do anything to him. Just checkin his bump on
his head is all."
Janice bends down
and takes a look at him "He is concussed." she drops an eyelid "He needs
a doctor right now."
Melinda blinks her
eyes, "What?"
Wanda looks down
Charles "Mmm what,
what’s every one looking at?"
Wanda "Is he zat
bad?" glances between Charles and Janice, "Guess not"
Janice looks at the
phone and walks over to it, picking it up and requesting aid in their room.
Charles "Do I have
something in between my teeth?"
Janice walks back
to Charles and picks up his head swirling it in a circle, "Yes definitely
concussed."
Charles blinks
Wanda sits next to
him with her hands in her lap
Janice bends to Charles,
"Did you bump your head?"
Melinda "Janice he's
gonna be fine." Looks back down a Charles.
Charles "Did I?"
Melinda points to
it, "It's hard to see but ya can feel it."
Janice "Sure he will
Mel, but first he needs to rest."
Wanda says quickly
wringing her hands, "Um Charles, I may have hit you on ze head with ze
door."
Melinda agrees with
Janice.
Charles hands Wanda
her accent
Melinda "How ya feelin
Charles?"
Janice wonders if
Charles will be okay for the dinner date they all have tonight.
Charles "Well I say
Wanda , that was a bit off."
Wanda looks sad "I'm
sorry."
Melinda giggles,
"I think he's gonna be fine. Hasn't lost his sense of humor." And smiles.
Janice looks at the
time and thinks more time has elapsed since she called and she gets nervous,
"I will go and get them." and leaves the room
Charles looks at
all three girls, "Oh, quite well thank you, yet I had this dream, and you
where there, and you where there, and you where there..." And then looks
at himself in the mirror, "...and you where all... uh, well never mind."
Wanda grins "What
were we doing?"
Melinda watches Janice
rush off, "Now what's goin on with her?" smirks, "Maybe we shouldn't ask
that question Wanda."
Dr Person heads towards
the room black bag in hand
Wanda grins "But
ez ze best kind to ask."
Janice passes the
Doc in the hallway and ignores him, turns to watch him enter the room and
then heads downstairs to the bar
Melinda to Charles,
"Now ya just lay here for a bit."
Dr Person walks into
the room
Melinda thinks, "Doesn't
anyone knock around here?"
Dr Person in very
bad English asks, "What have we got here?"
Melinda looks up
at the man that just walked into their room.
Charles "Oh that’s
very kind of you"
Dr Person gives Melinda
a look "Doctors don't have to knock." walks over to Charles and takes a
quick look
Melinda "Oh." Holds
a hand to her bosom "Doctor...." waiting for a last name.
Janice walks into
the bar just opening in this midday afternoon and orders a beer
Dr Person "Yes that
is a bump" looks at Mel "Smetchialshalism"
Charles looks at
where Melinda's hand is
Melinda moves off
the bed to give the Doctor some room.
Janice takes the
beer and looks around the dead place then at the bartender and drinks a
bit of it hoping it will help her to remember
Dr Person "Well he
has a bump. He will have a headache." brushes his hands
Charles "Jolly Good!"
Janice unconsciously
touches her lips and remembers the look on Melinda's face
Dr Person "I will
bill you." turns to leave
Charles grins widely
Melinda thinks she
really doesn't like the doctors around here and shakes her head as the
doctor leaves, "Well I could have told him that." And sighs shutting the
door as the doctor leaves, "Now how did he pronounce his last name again?"
(Charles whispered
to Janice): still a pirate right?
Janice thinks, 'One
minute I am talking to the goddess of love, the next Mel is making goo
goo eyes at me.' She stops and puts her beer down, "Aph-phro-di-te..."
said by the syllable. She grabs her beer and stands up throwing money on
the bar and wanders to the outside deck of the cantina. She looks around,
"Alright where are you?" She cant see a single soul in sight.
Aphrodite "You know
I don't normally make house calls."
Narrator
the figure of a woman appears with a flash
Janice jumps back,
then gets serious, "Wasn't expecting to see you here."
Melinda goes over
to Charles, "Now you just lay there for a bit and rest." Goes into the
closet to find something to wear for the dinner they have to go to later
on.
Aphrodite looks around
"Here? No I wouldn’t think I would be in this place either." Makes a yuck
face.
Charles grins
Aphrodite thinks
‘Mortals!’
Janice with no fear
walks up to the Goddess and taps her chest with every word she speaks,
"What did you do to us?"
Aphrodite "Owie,
watch it!" rubs her chest, "You would think you would be grateful"
Janice props her
hat back on her head, "Spill it toots."
Aphrodite crosses
her arms
Janice puts her hands
on her hips (insert wild west gunslinger high noon music)
Charles rubs his
nose
Melinda starts to
hum as she's going through outfits. "Nope not that one. Maybe something
blue."
Aphrodite wines "I
was doing what I do best. Do you think love just happens?" puts hands on
her hips
Melinda is in a great
mood despite her hang over she had this morning.
Wanda "Good idea,
I will get ze cloths too."
Charles looks over
at Wanda
Janice stares at
her, "So you did this? You are making me feel this way?"
Wanda winks at Charles
"Sorry about ze bump."
Janice gets in her
face, "You started this back at the Ares Tomb dig site." Points on her
chest again, standing on tip toes. "Didn’t you?"
Aphrodite "Oh no
sweet-cheeks..." shakes her head "You are doing this to yourself."
Charles "Quite alright."
Janice thumps her
chest not listening to her, "Didn't you?"
Aphrodite wines "I
was just helping."
Melinda finally decides
on a outfit and takes it out.
Aphrodite "I help
people find love. I don’t give them false feelings." Walks to the balcony
and looks over, "Your feelings are yours." And turns back to Janice scrunching
her nose. "Because you are so upset with me I will let you rudeness
go"
Janice thinks, "How
could I love Mel? I love Perry."
Melinda walks into
the bathroom still humming.
Aphrodite "Yes you
do. But your heart is not that small."
Janice looks at the
Goddess, and points to her womanly things. "She’s a woman for Christ's
sake!"
Melinda stops humming,
smiles when she remembers what happened on that very sink a little while
ago and smirks.
Aphrodite puts her
hands on her hips and sticks her chin out, "And?"
Janice gets fed up
and sighs turning her back, "Well its not right."
Aphrodite rolls her
eyes "You mortals." thinks aloud "I never had this many problems with Gabrielle."
Janice stops and
looks at her, "Well I ain't that useless tagalong either."
Charles stares at
the ceiling
Melinda comes outta
the bathroom smiling.
Aphrodite begins
to get angry and thinks aloud, "I can't believe I'm going to do this...."
balls her fist and gets in her face, "You could be so lucky as to be more
like her!"
Janice gets offended,
"Oh yeah and what does that little brat have that I don't?"
Aphrodite "And I
will tell you this much "She is apart of you, and you should be lucky."
Melinda goes over
to the sofa to relax.
Janice looks at Aphrodite
right in her face on tip toes, "Oh really?"
Aphrodite "She was
brave with her fists and her heart!" points at Janice’s chest "You
run away from your heart!"
Janice "And how do
you say that, I was with Perry until he died!" very angry, that little
vein popping out of her neck.
Aphrodite sighs "Ugh
these mortals are tiring me out." relaxes a bit and backs off, "And your
heart died then."
Janice "Yes it did."
looks away with her eyes not her face
Aphrodite softens
her tone "You heart is big enough if you are strong enough to let someone
in."
Melinda gets up from
the sofa and walks over to the desk, "I guess I could get some of these
scrolls translated while we wait for Janice."
Aphrodite "That’s
what Gabriele had, she had a inner strength."
Janice turns to her
and gets cold, "Gabrielle is dead. High time you got over her, yeah I know
about that little crush you had on her." waves her hand, "Mel's out husband
hunting, she isn’t a deviant."
Aphrodite "Deviant?
Do you think the goddess of love comes to visit deviants?!"
Janice ignores that
Melinda starts unrolling
some scrolls trying to figure out which ones she still hasn't finish translating.
Aphrodite "Her spirit
is in you. You need to find it." And is gone in a flash
Janice sighs, "Great
what does that mean!" she calls up, "What you got a thing for me too?"
Wanda is fully dressed
looking over Melinda's shoulder
Janice downs her
entire beer and heads into the bar and slams the mug down looking at the
bartender, <"Women!"> and heads up to the room
Melinda feels Wanda
hovering over her, "What are ya doin Wanda?"
Bartender <"You
said that lady."> and downs a shot.
Wanda "I wanted to
know more about zis"
Melinda "Bout what?
The scrolls?" wonders if she should ask Wanda what her and Janice were
talking bout earlier. She rolls up the scroll.
Janice paces waiting
for the elevator to get there
Melinda turns to
look at her still waiting for an answer.
Wanda "Can you read
zese to me some night?" points to them nodding
Melinda nods, "I'd
love ta Wanda. Though I'd have ta read from my notes."
Wanda grins
Melinda turns to
face her. "Wanda..."
Charles looks around
Melinda "Could I
ask you something?"
Wanda "Oui."
Melinda "What was
Janice talkin bout when she said, Yes we both did
?"
Wanda "Ummm."
Melinda "I don't
really mean to be nosey."
Wanda thinks
Wanda gives a nervous
giggle "She was talking about ze...you know..."
Melinda "But I just
happened to catch that." And she thinks, "It's the only thing I understood
unfortunately outta the whole conversation."
Wanda finds it strange
she is nervous talking about this subject
Melinda raises a
brow. "Bout?" waits "What?"
Wanda "I saw you
doing doing ze kissing" looks down finds a penny
Melinda blushes some,
"Oh. Ya did, did ya?"
Wanda looks over
at the bed "Do you zink we should be talking in front of ze boy?"
Charles "Kissing
what now?"
Wanda "You seemed...
er... happy."
Melinda looks at
that same penny Wanda just found, "And I hope ya don't think any less of
me. I just... well... I just couldn't seem to stop myself." Intense rosy
cheeks.
Wanda "Ze fish Charles."
Janice opens the
door and looks in at the girls and Charles
Wanda grins "Now
why would I zink less?"
Melinda stops and
looks up as Janice walks in.
Janice looks at Mel
and blushes
Wanda moves closer
and hugs Mel "I just want you two happy no."
Janice watches them
hug and feels a pang of jealousy in her gut
Melinda notices the
blush but doesn't think she should tease her.
Wanda quickly retreats
seeing Janice
Melinda smiles then
looks over at Janice, "You're back."
Janice turns around
and slams the door shut and leaves for the lift
Wanda "Zat is
it!"
Melinda "What was
that all bout?"
Wanda "Janice!"
Janice gets into
the lift and tells him to go down, "You lied to me Aphrodite."
Melinda looks at
Wanda in confusion. "Why did she do that?"
Wanda sighs "I do
not know"
Melinda heads to
the door to go after Janice.
Wanda follows
Janice steps out
of the lift and head for the bar and looks at him
Melinda looks outside
the door to see which direction she went off to.
Bartender <"Woman?">
Melinda doesn't see
her. "Well now what in the world has gotten into her?"
Janice <"Two of
them.">
Wanda pulls Mel towards
the elevator, "Ze bar... they always go to ze bar."
Melinda gets pulled
to the lift. "Wanda where are we goin?"
Bartender pours her
a drink <"Then I will give you something stronger">
Melinda "The bar?"
Wanda "Oui."
Janice drinks it
down without smelling or tasting it
Melinda sighs, "Ok
if ya think she's gonna be there."
Janice <"Another">
she catches a breath, <"What is that?">
Wanda gets out of
the lift and pulls Mel to the bar
Bartender <"I
made it up."> takes the glass, and makes another drink and hands it to
her, <"I call it an orgasm.">
Melinda looks around
the bar and spot Janice.
Wanda pulls Melinda
up to Janice
Janice <"Great
just what I need now"> and downs it again
Wanda <"Get over
here now Janice">
Charles gets out
of bed
Wanda nods towards
a table
Janice looks up then
at the bartender then back again, <"Oh look there’s one now.">
Charles walks out
the door, passes near a door, and quickly jumps to the side, staring at
the door
Wanda <"I was
telling her I was happy for you two">
Janice looks at the
bartender, "One for all the ladies." feeling a bit wobbly
Charles keeps watching
the door as he goes to the lift
Wanda <"Now get
over there and talk to her before you do loose her">
Melinda staring at
Wanda, "Could ya'll please speak in a language that I can understand."
Janice looks at Wanda
and smiles, "Come here and I will give you an orgasm."
Wanda looks back
"I’m sorry."
Melinda raises a
brow, "A what?"
Bartender makes three
more drinks
Wanda grins
Charles whistles
as the lift goes down
Melinda thinks she
heard Janice wrong.
Janice hands out
the drinks, "Come here Mel and let me give you an orgasm, too.
Wanda "Janice zis
iz stupid. Would you just talk to her and stop running away." Looks down
and says quietly "I used to think you were ze brave one."
Charles "Who's brave
" sneaks up on them all
Janice is feeling
very
brave right now
Melinda is starting
to wonder how many drinks Janice has had already. "An orgasm?"
Janice looks up at
Charles who stumbled in (literally), "Give him an orgasm too!"
Wanda turns towards
Charles
Charles blinks at
Janice
Wanda grins
Janice is buzzed
Melinda turns around
to see Charles.
Wanda "Glad to see
you up and about." looks back at the bartender "You are ze new, no?"
Janice "Hey Chuck!"
Melinda "Janice?
How much have ya had to drink today?"
Charles has a Bartender
wanting to give him orgasms, should that bother him?
Janice puts her fingers
together to form the 'inch' mark, "Hardly nuthin, but I drank it all really
fast."
Wanda looks at the
bartender "I would like one please"
Melinda wonders why
Janice is ignorin her.
Janice hands the
drinks out.
Bartender winks at
Wanda
Wanda downs it in
one gulp
Charles looks at
the drink
Wanda grins
Janice looks at Mel,
"Go on drink it up." and slaps her on the back
Melinda holds the
drink in her hand and is just looking at it, "What's in it?" Swirls it
around the glass some.
Wanda draws on the
table with her finger
Melinda "What is
it that color?"
Janice "Mud."
Charles takes a sip,
and collapses on the ground
Melinda "Mud?" Looks
at the glass again and remembers her hang over she had this morning. "Maybe
I shouldn't."
Janice looks up at
Mel and beams a smile, "It tastes great, makes you feel all tingly."
Melinda looks down
at Charles, "Oh my."
Wanda looks at the
bartender "I would like ze organism please."
Melinda places the
glass down on the bar and bends over to see if he's ok.
Melinda thinks, "I
told him he should rest." lightly slaps Charles on the face, "Charles?
Charles are ya ok?"
Janice looks down,
"Can't fight, can't hold his liquor" and looks at Wanda, "And doesn't like
women." thinks, "Are you any relation to a Joxer?"
Charles hops up "Zesty"
and takes another sip and collapses again.
Wanda looks back
at Charles "You should go back to ze room, you need ze rest."
Melinda shakes her
head and gets up.
Janice catches Mel's
eye and is too buzzed to care to look away
Melinda takes the
drink in her hand again and sips it. "Doesn't taste that bad." takes another
sip.
Janice watches her,
"I need to talk to you."
Melinda "Sure." Takes
another sip. "Not bad at all."
Charles reaches up
trying to find some thing to pull him self up "Hmm soft."
Wanda looks at the
hand on her thigh
Janice orders two
more and takes them.
Melinda "What did
ya want to talk bout?"
Wanda "Charles don’t
start something you cant finish."
Charles "What huh...
oh my!"
Janice looks at Mel,
"Follow me." finally having the courage to face her
Wanda grins
Melinda follows Janice
wondering why she ordered two more drinks.
Janice leads Mel
outside on the deserted deck
Charles "What soft
thighs you have Ms DePoisson."
Melinda "What is
it ya wanted to talk to me bout Janice?"
Janice sets he drinks
down on the table, "As stupid as this might sound." takes mel's drink and
sets it down, "I talked to Aphrodite."
Melinda "Ya talked
to Aphrodite, yes I know that. I was there."
Wanda looks at Charles
"You need ze help?"
Janice fidgets and
takes Mel's hands, "No I just talked to her, now, right here..."
Charles "What do
you mean ?" falls down again
Wanda sighs
Melinda looks around,
"Just now? What did she want this time?"
Wanda "Charles if
you are going to grab every part of my body to stand up you may want to
start with ze fun parts."
Melinda looks down
at her hand in Janice's and wonders what spell Aphrodite put on her this
time.
Janice gulps, and
then looks at Mel, "She wanted me to do this." and stands on her tiptoes
and gently kisses Mel on the mouth.
Melinda eyes go wild
and she thinks that Aphrodite did put a spell on her again.
Janice pulls back
and looks at Mel, "What’s wrong?"
Melinda pulls away
a little and stares directly into Janice's eyes. "What did she do to ya
this time?"
Janice "Nothing we
talked."
Wanda looks back
to the bartender "Can I get another one please?"
Melinda "Nothin really?"
Still staring at her trying to figure out if she did or not. "Talked bout
what?"
Janice "You and I.
She made it sound like... er.. never mind about that."
Charles chuckles
, as he grabs at some thing else
Melinda "Sound like....?"
Wanda smiles at the
bartender as he hands her a drink, looks at Charles' hand on her bosom
"Ah you are learning"
Melinda "What are
ya talkin bout Janice. Please just say it."
Janice looks at Mel
and smiles, "Well I think," and stands on her tiptoes and gets as eye to
eye as Mel lets her and waits
Melinda thinks she's
going to hurt Aphrodite for doing this again.
Charles "Well , how
nice of you to notice"
Melinda glances down
at Janice's lips then back into her eyes. "Yes?"
Wanda "You going
to stand up or just lay with you hand on my bosom?"
Charles pulls himself
so his chin is on Wanda's shoulder
Janice "I think I,
no,
I have enough room." she says more for herself than Mel, "I
know
I love you."
Charles himself up
even
Wanda grabs a hold
of him, "Easy zhere big boy"
Melinda eyes widen
again, "Ya what?"
Janice leans in and
waits for Mel
Wanda is feeling
a bit tipsy herself
Melinda really thinks
that Aphrodite did something to Janice now, "Well Janice I love ya too.
But I just wish Aphrodite had nothing to do with this." And backs up some.
Janice opens her
eye (altared states eye opening sound effects again) and then the other
eye, "Mel she didn't do anything to me, no nut bread, no Illusia, no cupid’s
arrow, no nothing." Double takes her own words and wonders what the hell
half of that meant. Then shakes her head out of it, and tugs on Mel’s hands
"Damn it just kiss me already."
Melinda "And just
how can I be certain that she didn't zap ya with another one of her spells?"
Man in bar walks
up to Wanda
Janice leans to Mel,
"Because I am scared to death of this."
Melinda voice soften
to a whisper, "So am I."
Man in bar Puts his
drunken hand on Wanda
Wanda "Hey get ze
hand off"
Bartender <"Hey
buddy get off of her!">
Man in bar grabs
Wanda
Janice leans in,
"Mel..."
Charles "Ahem Mr.
, she said get off"
Bartender hops over
the bar to Wanda's side, <"I said get off of her">
Melinda leans in
to place a soft kiss on Janice's lips. Hoping in her mind that Aphrodite
didn't put a spell on her.
Janice responds to
Mel's kiss
Man in bar laughs
with a slight Spanish accent, "Come on baby, I know about you."
Charles grabs Man's
shoulder
Bartender pries the
guy off
Man in bar swings
at Charles
Melinda finally lets
go of Janice's hands and wraps her arm around Janice to pull her in closer
to her.
Charles ducks
Bartender looks like
(draco) a very bad person to tangle with
Janice is surprised
and well excited by this and lets her, wrapping her arms around Mel basking
in the midday sun
Man in bar swings
at the bartender
Melinda pulls back
some to catch her breathe.
Draconues the Bartender
ducks
Man #2, Geraldo dives
at the bartender
Janice looks up at
Mel, "Does that convince you?"
Geraldo pulls the
bartender to the ground
Melinda smiles, "Well
I'm not sure, but I think it might take a little more convincin." And winks.
Draconues the Bartender
looks at him
Wanda picks up a
chair
Janice pulls Mel
close and takes her lips more forcefully
Wanda smacks the
chair over Geraldo breaking his nose
Geraldo "My nose!"
Man in bar lunges
at Charles
Melinda is enjoying
Janice's way of convincing her but pulls away suddenly, "What's that noise?"
Janice slides her
naughty hand to Mel's rear and squeezes it
Melinda "Oh my."
Janice is in a haze,
"Nothing Mel." and pulls here into a kiss again
Melinda "Don't ya
hear that ruckus?" was gonna say something else but changes her mind as
Janice pulls her in for another kiss.
Man in bar feels
another man pick her up and throw her over the bar
Wanda feels another
man pick her up and throw her over the bar
Geraldo lunges at
Charles
Melinda pulls away
from Janice again, not really wanting to, but the sounds are getting louder.
"Janice listen. It sounds like someone's breakin up the bar."
Wanda climbs on top
of the bar
Janice is breathing
heavily looks up totally buzzed, "I don't care." and pulls Mel back down
for a kiss.
Charles throws a
glass out the window
Wanda grabs some
whisky and takes a swig
Melinda suddenly
forgets bout the sounds of fighting again and leans into Janice's kiss.
Wanda dives onto
the man lunging at Charles, misses and falls on the bartender "Oh la la"
Charles takes a wild
swing at the man.
Draconues the Bartender
catches her in his strong hands
Charles shakes his
hand, and mouths an ouch
Janice breaks the
kiss, "Mel you wanna go to the room?" breathing heavily.
Wanda plants a kiss
on him then moves him as another man comes at him with a bottle from behind
Draconues the Bartender
moves them out of the way
Melinda shakes the
thoughts outta her head, "Sorry what did ya just say?"
Draconues the Bartender
<"Oh for a staff and some people to stand on!"> (in greek)
Wanda hands him a
piece of a broken chair
Janice pulls away,
looks up and lowers her voice to a whisper, "Wanna go back to the room?"
Wanda leans over
and grabs the seltzer bottle spritzing the man with the bottle
Melinda clears her
throat, "Umm sure. What for?" And raises her brow.
Draconues the Bartender
takes it and smiles <"Alright you ruffians no more of this in my
bar!">
Janice kisses her
again and then pulls back, "Privacy."
Man #3 grabs Charles
from behind
Melinda repeats,
"Privacy?" Looks down at her. "How many orgasms have ya had today?"
Charles turns around
Janice looks at Mel
seriously, "Not enough."
Charles tries to
free his arm
Melinda catches on
to what Janice just meant by that and starts to giggle, "Janice Covington,
I swear. What am I gonna do with ya?"
Janice pulls her
down again for another kiss, and before the kiss, "Many things Mel, I pray
Many things."
Melinda wraps her
arms around one more.
Charles frees his
arms, and grabs the mans nose, and twists
Draconues the Bartender
moves Wanda behind the bar picking her up with easy
Wanda grins "My what
strong arms you have, no?"
Draconues the Bartender
puts her to safety, "No one will touch you" his attempt at English
Draconues the Bartender
looks back at the ruffians, <"Alright I will dispose of you myself.">
Wanda watches the
strong bartender
Charles twists the
nose so he has to turn his head upside down
Man #3 cusses in
pain
Melinda puts her
hands on Janice's hips and pushes her back a little, "Janice now ya gotta
slow down here some. I'm not use to all this attention." And blushes slightly.
Janice breathing
and looking at Mel, "I’m sorry."
Wanda looking around
the bar
Melinda smiles, "It's
ok Janice. Can we... well... just take it slow?"
Janice looks at Mel,
and nods, "Yes." and grins, "Just stop exciting me like that."
Melinda notices that
noise has died down in the bar and blushes again, "Sorry."
Charles looks at
the guy, who’s nose he has hold of
Draconues the Bartender
was being marvelous but he was waiting for the ruffians to do something
next
Melinda looks down
to Janice, "Shall we go back in before the others think we were kidnapped
or something?"
Charles forgets why,
and lets it go
Man #3 grabs at Charles'
shirt
Janice takes Mel’s
hand gently, "I know that you are new to this." chuckles, "So am I really."
and looks at her, "But we need to talk soon."
Melinda nods, "Alright
we'll have a talk." Squeezing Janice's hand gently.
Janice can't help
it and pulls Mel in for a kiss again
Man #3 gets ready
to hit Charles
Draconues the Bartender
tries to grab the man
Melinda thinks, "Well
now I can use to this."
Charles looks back
at Wanda
Melinda thinks, "Well
now I can get use to this."
Janice tilts her
head up ignoring the ruckus
Melinda tilts her
head down hearing the ruckus again.
Janice leans up to
kiss Mel again
Man #3 misses Charles
and feels the bartender hit him in the gut
Melinda grins into
the kiss and thinks, "If this is slow I would hate to see what fast
is to her."
Charles backs away
Janice puts her hand
around Mel's neck and pulls her close
Melinda brings her
hands up around Janice's back to get more of a feel of her body.
Draconues the Bartender
<"Get out this is my bar fellas">
Wanda walks up behind
the man and beaks the bottle over his head "Oui!"
Janice pulls her
in tight around her
Wanda looks around
the bar and realizes the threat is gone and sits back down ordering a drink
Melinda pulls away
slightly and grins, "This is what ya call slow, eh?"
Charles stumbles
over to Wanda
Wanda wonders where
the two have been this whole time
Draconues the Bartender
looks at Wanda not use to seeing a blonde, "You were amazing." in broken
English
Wanda grins at Charles
"Thank you for sticking up for me." looks back "You were not so bad yourself,
no?"
Charles " Wasn't
that jolly good fun , oh your very welcome Ms DePoisson."
Janice grins at Mel,
"No this is called getting what we both want." and pulls her into another
kiss.
Wanda think 'with
a hair cut and loosing that hat thing, he is quite cute' drinks her
orgasm never taking her eyes off the bartender
Janice has both of
her hands on Mel's neck now
Melinda can't help
but allow Janice to continually pull her in for another kiss.
Charles looks at
Wanda then the Bartender, gets a drink, and collapses on the floor again
Melinda thinks, "More
of this and I'll have to go change my clothes again."
Wanda looks down
at Charles "Can you find someone to carry him to ze room?"
Janice pulls back
from Mel slightly, lips still brushing, "Are you sure you don’t want to
go upstairs?"
Melinda "Well if
that's where ya wanna go have this talk of ours, sure. Let's go."
Janice smiles and
kisses Mel on the mouth quickly and grabs her hand leading her upstairs
as fast as she can walk and left their untouched drinks behind
Melinda turns her
head around looking at the drinks still on the table, "What bout our orgasms?"
Janice "You are an
animal Mel!" she says aloud.
Melinda giggles,
"Janice I was talkin bout our drinks."
Janice turns back
clasping both of her hands around one of Mel's and winks, "So was I."
Wanda looks down
at Charles
Melinda blushes,
"Oh my."
Draconues the Bartender
looks up and at the two women leaving the bar quickly.
Wanda "Get up fly
boy, lets take you to ze room."
Draconues the Bartender
turns to Wanda, "Your friends are leaving."
Charles climbs up,
using Wanda again
Janice has tunnel
vision only sees the lift way ahead
Wanda shrugs "I don’t
have ze energy to go running after zhem tonight." notices his hand hits
her bosoms "Men!"
Charles "What?"
Melinda looks around
the bar area, "What on heavens sakes happened in here?" But can't stop
cause Janice is pulling her.
Charles pulls himself
up
Draconues the Bartender
smiles at Wanda, "Yes?"
Wanda looks back
"I will be back for you" winks and helps Charles get his balance
Charles looks at
Wanda "Hello again."
Melinda tries to
get Janice's attention, "Janice... what happened back there in the bar?"
Draconues the Bartender
"I am the owner so I get off whenever." very bad English
Wanda grins "Hello
fly boy" Wanda looks back "No you will when I let you, no?" winks and helps
Charles step over chairs and bodies.
Janice glances at
Mel and then hits the lift and turns back to her, "Well that’s where I
told you I loved you."
Melinda giggles,
"No silly, I meant with all the mess. Looked like someone was fightin or
something."
Janice would pull
Mel into a kiss but there are too many people around, "Mel all I care about
right now is you."
Wanda "Can you walk
Charles?"
Charles stumbles
over the chairs and stuff Wanda helps him over
Melinda feels another
blush coming on, "Janice ya really do know how to make a gal feel special,
ya know that?"
Janice smirks as
the doors open up, "No but I will soon."
Wanda giggles
Charles "Oh course
I can walk" trips
Wanda smiles "course
you can" heads to the front desk "Come on Charles just one stop"
Melinda didn't hear
that, "What was that? I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that."
Janice "I said,"
smiles, "Oh Mel, I..." looks at the lift operator recognizing him from
a few days ago and the money incident and stops herself.
Charles "Righto mum."
Wanda uses the last
of her money to get her own room and thinks 'I know when I'm not wanted'
Melinda looks over
to see what Janice is looking at and giggles when she sees the operator.
Janice gets a bit
scared as the lift doors open and he announced it was their floor.
Melinda wraps her
arm around Janice’s waist not really caring what the operator says or thinks
this time.
Janice feels calmer
after Mel does that
Wanda gets her key
and helps Charles to the lift
Melinda steps outta
the lift.
Janice follows Mel
to the door
Charles half walk/drags
with Wanda to the lift
Melinda looks over
at Janice with concern, "Something wrong?"
Janice kinda nervous,
"Yeah you haven't kissed me in 30 seconds."
Wanda waits with
Charles at the lift
Melinda giggles again
and opens their door.
Janice walks in and
throws her hat on the rack, misses for once and looks at Mel, "Prewedding
jitters."
Melinda goes to sit
on the sofa. "So Janice what was it ya wanted to talk about?"
Janice watches the
rack fall over in slow motion. Hoping that isn’t an omen, if she was a
man that premonition would upset her.
Wanda leads Charles
into the lift nodding at the operator
Charles waves to
the operator, a stupid grin on his face
Janice starts to
wring her hands and walk to Mel, "Us."
Melinda giggles,
"Janice I swear, some of the things that come outta that mouth of yours."
shakes her head. "We just came up her to talk right?" she raises an eyebrow.
Janice blushes, "Of
course."
Melinda "Ok, well
what bout us?" She wonders if Janice is regretting kissing her now or saying
she loved her. Thinks, ‘If Aphrodite had anything to do with this and
she's under a spell again... I'll hurt her, I swear.’
Janice paces nervously,
"I have never been attracted to a woman before." she kinda looks away
Wanda steps off the
lift and leads Charles to his room
Melinda "Janice ya
don't actually think that I have either, do ya?"
Janice then looks
back at Mel, "And I am very attracted to you, and Mel I do love
you."
Charles collapses,
into his room
Janice shrugs at
Mel and stops.
Melinda smiles, "Janice
I love ya too."
Wanda hold Charles
up "Your key Charles...."
Charles "What , oh
yes"
Janice stops and
looks at Mel, "You love me?'
Melinda looks up
at Janice, "Yes I love ya too." And smiles.
Janice walks up to
her and looks down, "Love as in love me?"
Melinda "Well of
course. Love as in love you." And pokes her in the chest, smiling.
Wanda takes the key
and unlocks the door, helping Charles inside
Janice bends down
putting her knee on the couch and getting eye level with Mel, "Why didn’t
you tell me?"
Melinda looks away,
"Well Janice it's just not something ya come out and tell woman. Well especially
if the one sayin it is a woman also."
Janice slides her
weight on the couch to the left side of Melinda, and nods to Mel, "When
did you feel this way?"
Wanda sits Charles
on the bed "You going to be okay?"
Melinda thinks bout
the question, "Well I guess it was back when I first got here. Back at
the dig site."
Charles "Just Dandy"
Janice is a bit stunned
by that and looks away
Melinda is worried
she said something wrong, "What is it Janice? When did ya know ya loved
me?"
Wanda "Good to hear
that" she grins, leans in and kisses him "Thanks again for ze help"
Charles "Huh , help?"
Wanda whispers in
his ear "That was very sweet. In ze bar, you defended me."
Janice rubs the back
of her neck and looks at Mel, "About the same time."
Charles "Sorry, that
kiss kinda created a blank."
Wanda "Oh I’m sorry
can I help you with ze blank." she sits next to him
Melinda "And is there
something wrong with that then Janice?"
Charles grins, and
blushes at Wanda, making look Mel or Jan rather pale
Wanda grins
Melinda "Janice?"
Janice thinks for
a bit then whispers to Mel, "No" and pulls her into a kiss.
Wanda looks at Charles
and smirks "You look more...alert now"
Melinda leans into
the kiss, stops and thinks, then leans back, "And why didn't ya say anything
bout it back then?"
Wanda wonders why
Charles is suddenly so quiet
Janice thinks and
smiles, "I am sure for the same reason you didn't." and wants another kiss
Trent peeks his head
out of his room
Melinda sees Janice
looking at her lips, "I guess you're right. I mean, we had just met and
all."
Janice looks at Mel's
lips, "Yes."
Trent hears a commotion
and comes out
Melinda takes her
hand and lifts Janice's head until is looking into her eyes, "Slow down
there missy." And smiles.
Janice touches Mel's
face and caresses it lightly, "Why?"
Trent can’t find
the ruckus
Melinda "Well for
one thing, both of us are new to this. Well fallin in love with a woman
that is."
Wanda "Why have you
gotten so quiet Charles?"
Janice leans up to
Melinda and pecks her on the lips, "And?"
Charles "What?"
Wanda "You just seem
ze quiet"
Charles " Just thinking"
Trent goes back to
his room
Melinda looses her
train of thought for a couple seconds, "And... and I'd just like to take
it slow is all. Ya don't know how new this all is to me." Thinks, "If she
only knew."
Janice kisses her
again sliding her tongue into Mel's mouth, and pulls back for a second,
"How slow?" grinning
Melinda looses all
her train of thought now, "Really slow..." And takes in Janice's tongue
into her mouth.
Janice pulls her
body back more until her back is on the couch and Mel is one top of her.
Wanda "About?"
Charles "I cant recall"
Melinda tries to
get the full length of her body onto the sofa and on Janice.
Janice slides her
legs under Mel and straddles her with the left one, kissing her forcefully
and attempting to undo her bun
Melinda thinks, ‘Mental
note, we'll need a bigger sofa.’ continues to kiss Janice and is enjoying
every minute of it.
Wanda "How is your
head?"
Janice slides her
hands down Mel's back and under her blazer rubs Mel's lower back.
Melinda pulls away
breathless, "Ummm Janice... wait... this is not what I mean by slow." Straightening
her glasses and tries to compose herself, "Janice it doesn't look like
you're slowin down anytime soon hon." And smiles.
Janice looks up at
Mel, "I... I... I just can't help it, you are so soft." blushes
Charles "Its a little
sore"
Janice moves her
hands to around Mel’s waste letting her thumbs rub her tummy.
Wanda "Let me take
a look" stands up in front of him and bends his head down and closer to
get a better look.
Melinda grins and
tries to sit up. "Janice now ya said that ya wanted to talk. It's a little
hard to talk when you're kissin me. It's distractin." And let s out a little
giggle.
Janice sits up with
Mel, "I'm sorry." bows her head and looks up at her and blushes, "I just
want you."
Melinda is sitting
up besides Janice now.
Wanda "It doesn’t
look to bad from here"
Charles " Don’t look
to bad here either"
Melinda grins back
and leans in to kiss her lightly on the lips, "All in due time Janice."
And smiles.
Janice shivers and
smiles, "Yes we need to talk."
Wanda grins "What
was that" knowing full well what he said. she steps back to see his face.
Melinda "Ok. Let's
try to talk then. What is it that ya wanted to talk bout?" places her hands
on her lap.
Janice tries to compose
herself and finds it impossible so she stands up, "We love each other right?"
Charles looks up
" Pardon , what?"
Melinda nods, "Yes
we do."
Janice starts to
pace, then looks at Mel and rubs the back of her neck, "What do we do about
it then?"
Wanda "Sorry I thought
you said something"
Charles looks around
innocently
Melinda "Well what
everybody else in the world does Janice. We just go on with our lives,
but together, lovin each other." looks down at the floor, "Unless ya don't
think that's possible."
Janice smirks and
gets that look in her eyes, "When do we start then?"
Melinda giggles,
"I think we already did."
Janice sits back
on the couch, and looks at her "Then when do we finish?" and wiggles her
eyebrows
Melinda covers up
her mouth with her hand to hide a giggles, "When the times right, Janice.
The time will come."
Janice glances over
at the clock, "How about now?" and leans in to kiss her again
Melinda places a
hand on Janice's chest and raises a brow, "Slow, please?"
Janice smirks, "I
can kiss slow."
Melinda grins, "Yes
I know that now." And giggles.
Janice cant help
it and leans in again
Melinda still has
her hand on her chest. "Janice."
Janice blinks
Melinda "Please?"
Janice "Yes?"
Melinda "Ya know
if ya keep this up I might not be able to say no anymore, don't ya?" And
grins.
Janice smiles, "Good
incentive." and leans in again
Melinda doesn't move
her hand off her chest, "Down girl." And tries to get up from the sofa.
Janice pouts something
Mel hasn’t seen, "Don’t you like kissing me?"
Melinda thinks, ‘Aw
isn't she cute when she does that?’ smiles "I love kissin ya Janice,
but I really think that we should get ready to go out tonight. Don't you?"
Janice looks at the
clock , "We have two hours." and smiles, brushes a few fingers over Mel's
lips
Melinda shakes her
head. "I think we should go find Wanda and Charles. Make sure that they're
ok. Considering what that bar looked like when we went through there."
grabs her finger and kisses it quickly before asking, "Well?"
Janice "I am sure
they are fine, the hotel has security." and smirks, "Well what?"
Melinda giggles and
shakes her head again, "Well never mind. You just answered my question."
Janice takes Mel's
fingers in her own hand and brings them to her mouth, kissing them.
Melinda is distracted
by what Janice is doin to her fingers.
Janice won't stop
as she takes her wrist and sucks on it
Melinda feels her
heartbeat starting to race again, "Hum Janice.... Janice?"
Janice drags her
tongue up Mel's arm and looks at her, "Yes?"
Melinda pulls her
hand gently away from Janice's mouth, "I'm gonna have to keep a close eye
on ya. Ya know that?" She said with her brow up again.
Janice "Good."
Melinda has a smirk
on her face. "Don't ya ever quit?"
Janice smiles, "Not
until I’m satisfied"
Melinda moves away
from Janice to make sure that she can't get her hands on her again. "I
can see that. Now shall we go look for the others?"
Janice shakes a sigh
out of her and stands up and walks to the door opening it, "Mel we have
to do something about you being so damn sexy all the time."
Melinda blushes and
shakes her head, "Janice now ya get outta here and go find them."
Janice looks back
at her, "What will you do?"
Melinda "Think bout
ya while you're gone?" And smiles.
Wanda watches Charles
pass out "MEN!"
Janice raises a brow,
"Hardly Fair Mel, why don’t you come with me."
Wanda gets up and
heads for her room
Melinda "If ya don't
mind Janice, I think I'll just stay in here for a little while until ya
come back."
Wanda thinks 'after
ze fight I could use ze nap'
Janice sees Wanda
leave Charles room, "Wanda everything okay?"
Wanda nods "Oui"
Melinda smiles to
herself thinkin bout Janice.
Janice turns back
to Mel, "Wanda's right here." and points
Wanda "Just heading
to my room."
Melinda looks up,
"Well that's one of them. What happened to Charles? Playin with clocks
again?"
Wanda continues walking
down the hallway
Janice turns back
to Wanda, "Your room?"
Melinda heard that,
"What? What room? Is that Wanda?"
Janice turns back
to Mel, "Yeah she said she is going to her own room." Shrugs.
Wanda looks over
her shoulder "Oui my room."
Melinda looks confused,
"When did she get a room?" gets up to go to the door.
Janice shrugs then
turns to Wanda, "Hey wait come here, when did you get a room?"
Melinda peaks her
head out of the door towards Wanda.
Janice slides an
arm around Mel's waist
Melinda "Where did
she come from? The bar?"
Wanda walks back
"After ze fight. I needed a nap and you two were no where to be found.
So I figured you wanted your own room now, no?"
Janice shrugs, "Charles’
room, we forgot about him you know." looks at Wanda, "What fight?"
Wanda rolls her eyes
"In ze bar."
Melinda "Oh." Looks
at Janice. "Is she mad? And what fight? So is that why the bar looked like
that?"
Janice shrugs, "There
was a fight in the bar?" eyes widen, "And I missed it?"
Wanda "Oui!"
Melinda "Wanda now
ya come back here and tell us what all happened, please."
Janice turns to Mel
and smiles warmly, "Then it must be love."
Melinda smiles back
at her (goofy Lucy smile), but is still waiting for Wanda to turn around.
Wanda hides her rolling
eyes "Typical bar fight. Ze guy wanted to handle me, and I took exception."
Melinda "Wanted to
handle ya? What are ya talkin bout? Where was Charles durin all this?"
Janice wonders if
Wanda is upset for the recent turns of events and unconsciously removes
her arm from Mel's waist
Wanda "Attempting
to help."
Janice smirks, "Probably
looking at the clock."
Melinda holds back
a giggle hearing Janice’s joke then looks down, "Go talk to her. Something’s
wrong I can feel it."
Wanda "You could
have looked at 50 clocks with how slow he fights." adds mentally 'and
how slow he fools around'
Melinda can't help
it now and laughs out loud.
Janice looks up and
nods and grins, looking back "Promise me you wont do anything without me?"
Melinda wonders what
she meant by that, "I promise Janice."
Janice smirks and
hits Mel on the rump and walks up to Wanda, taking her by the arm "Okay
kiddo lets go talk." and leads her to the lift she turns back to wink at
Mel
Melinda "Oh my. Janice
Covington, I swear..." And shakes her head as she closes the door behind
her.
Wanda looks at Janice
and follows
Janice "So Wanda
what’s wrong." standing near a few doors by the lift
Melinda goes to lay
on the bed thinking aloud grinning, "I must put this in my memoirs sometime
soon."
Wanda looks down
"I do not know what you talking about."
Janice puts her hand
on Wanda's cheek, "Did we upset you?"
Melinda gets comfy
on the bed, "Well maybe a little nap while Janice is gone." And shuts her
eyes.
Wanda pulls her face
away gently "Of course not."
Janice "You sure?"
Wanda looks away
"Oui"
Janice takes her
chin in her hand, "Tell that to my eyes."
Wanda "What difference
does zis make?"
Janice "It makes
all the difference in the world, we care about you."
Wanda remains silent
Melinda hugs a pillow.
Janice rubs Wanda’s
chin, "You are coming to Julius house tonight aren’t you? Can you
be ready in an hour?"
Wanda "Why do you
need me there? I'm just ze third wheel."
Janice smiles warmly,
"You are our best friend, that could never happen."
Janice pulls Wanda
into a hug, something she rarely does
Wanda sighs and returns
the hug
Janice "Pick you
up in an hour?"
Wanda "Oui" and she
turns around
Janice watches her
for a second then heads to her room and opens the door looking back
Wanda has her head
down, opens the door and shuts it with out a sound
Janice looks at the
bed and the sleeping Mel, and shuts he door behind her "She looks so young."
grins and crawls into the bed and towers over her putting all her weight
on her limbs and bends down to kiss her, and waits for some kind of response
Melinda mumbles something
in her sleep.
Janice doesn’t get
one so she changes her tactics and puts her weight on Mel and kisses her
Melinda moans and
hugs the pillow tighter to her.
Janice giggles and
thinks, 'this could get interesting' and rolls off, facing her and
removes her glasses looking at her
Melinda blinks her
eyes open slowly and sees Janice on top of her, "And just what are ya doin
to me?"
Janice smirks, "Saying
hello."and bends down to kiss her
Melinda kisses her
back. "Sayin hello, huh? Weren’t' ya just on top of me?"
Janice nods, "Yes
mam and loving every second of it."
Melinda grins, "So
how's Wanda doin? Is she ok?"
Janice caresses Mel's
face, "Are you alright? Do you wanna sleep?" thinks about Wanda, "No she
evaded my questions."
Melinda gets up and
sits up against the headboard.
Janice stays laying
now at Mel's lap
Melinda "Well I didn't
actually think I was gonna fall asleep."
Janice hand that
was on Mel's face lingers down to her tummy and rests there
Melinda plays with
Janice's hair. "What was wrong with her? She didn't get hurt in that fight
did she?"
Janice "I didn't
see anything physically wrong."
Melinda "And why
did she get herself a room?"
Janice looks up,
"Maybe we upset her, hell she is French this isn't a thing the French do."
Melinda thinks bout
what Janice just said, "What do ya mean?"
Janice puts her head
on Mel’s lap and sighs, "The fact that you and I are women." Thinks, ‘If
we were two men she wouldn’t bat an eye.’ puts her arm around Mel's
waist and gives it a squeeze
Melinda "Well Janice
I hope that doesn't change her option of us."
Wanda is in the bathroom
cleaning up looking at various bruises and her cut on her arm that re-opened
a tad
Janice closes her
eyes totally content for once with Mel playing with her hair feeling is
fall around her shoulders when she removed the hair tie, "Um humm." and
sighs
Melinda looks down
at her and giggles to herself, "Are ya listenin to me?"
Janice fell asleep
Melinda "Janice?"
Janice "......"
Melinda lends forward
to look down to see if her eyes are closed.
Janice is asleep
with a smile on her face
Melinda "Janice?"
Janice moves slightly,
"Hum?" quietly and drifts off again.
Melinda sees that
she is fast asleep and grins to herself and is still playing with her hair.
"Aw well I'll let her sleep for a little while."
Wanda cleans her
cut and gets dressed thinking 'Bet the forget to even come and get me.'
Melinda leans back
against the headboard, "I hope we don't over sleep and miss Julius' dinner."
Narrator
An hour passes as they sleep
Janice wakes up with
a jolt still holding Mel's waist, looks up at Mel and smiles, putting her
weight on her elbows
Melinda is sleeping
peacefully.
Janice smirks and
sits up on her hands and kisses Mel on the mouth
Melinda doesn't respond
to Janice's kiss.
Janice giggles and
takes Mel’s hair in her hand and runs I lighting over her nose and lips
to wake her, tickles it under her nose
Melinda feels something
tickling her nose.
Janice gets drastic
and then proceeded to tickling Mel's ribs
Melinda wipes her
nose with her hand, and busts out laughing, "What the.... Janice stop that."
And tries to grab her hands away from her.
Janice leans over
her tickling her harder
Melinda can't stop
laughing, "Janice please stop! I'm up." tries to roll away from her.
Janice is giggling
with her and lands on top of her laughing, "I’m sorry I couldn’t resist
it
Wanda looks at the
clock feeling like Charles and thinks 'well 10 mins late I should have
known'
Melinda tries to
catch her breath, "That was not fair. I was sleeping for heaven sakes."
Janice giggles and
wipes a hair from Mel’s face, "Sure it was, water thrower."
Melinda giggles,
"Oh. Okay ya got me back. What time is it anyway?"
Janice tears her
eyes away from Mel and looks at the clock, "Shit Mel we are late!" and
hops off of her.
Melinda "I knew that
was gonna happen." And hops outta the bed to get ready.
Janice looks down
at her shoes and jacket, "Hell I hate sleeping in these."
Melinda looks around
the room, "Now where did I put that outfit I picked out to wear?"
Janice sighs, "Mel
you look fine." Looks around for her hairtie.
Melinda "But Janice
look at me. I don't want to have dinner with your friend and his family
lookin like this. You go get the others and I'll get dressed really fast."
She grabs her outfit and runs into the bathroom. She gets dress quickly.
Janice peeks in the
opened door brushing her hair back pinning it her ponytail, "Sure you don't
need help?" and smiles taking the tie out of her mouth and after finishing,
crosses her arms and leans against the frame.
Melinda shakes her
head, "Janice Covington we're late, we don't have time for this now. Now
go get the others."
Janice "Kiss me first
then I will leave."
Melinda leans over
to give her a quick kiss, "There, now off ya go." And smiles getting back
to getting dressed.
Janice thinks about
it for a bit, "That’s a peck I want a kiss."
Melinda stops and
looks at her, "Janice Covington!" Shakes her head and walks over to her
before Jan can move she places a nice long kiss on her lips. After a few
moments pass, she pulls back to her full height. "There? How was that one?"
And grins.
Janice can’t open
her eyes all the way, "Perfect, I get more tonight right? If I'm good?"
Melinda laughs out
loud, "Yes if ya are good. Now go get the others." And goes back
to changing.
Wanda looks at the
clock <"30 minutes, they forgot about me"> and lays down
Janice turns and
rushes out of the door and knocks on Wanda’s, wiping the lipstick from
her mouth
Wanda sighs and walks
to the door and opens it
Janice grins behind
her sleeve
Melinda fixes her
makeup and sprays on some perfume. "There. I think that was the fastest
I've ever gotten dressed."
Wanda "We still going?"
Melinda looks for
her heels and purse.
Janice nods, "Of
course we are, lets go get Mel and we will be there soon."
Wanda "Oui" gestures
for Janice to lead the way
Melinda steps outta
the door and sees Janice at Wanda's door and meets them at the lift.
Janice turns to Mel,
"Lets go." then takes a double take, "You are wearing your hair down tonight?"
Melinda smiles, "I
figured why not?"
Janice tries not
to show visible signs of being weak in the knees, "How am I suppose to
be good now?"
Melinda "I'm sorry
we're so late Wanda, but we sort of over slept."
Wanda "Oui" and gives
a small smile "We better go"
Melinda grins but
doesn't say anything to Janice and hands Janice her hat.
Wanda turns towards
the lift
Janice shutters and
escorts the women into the lift
Melinda looks at
Janice then back. "Wanda is everything okay?"
Wanda is looking
down hoping to find some more change, glances up towards Mel "Oui."
Janice waits for
it to stop then leads them to the truck outside
Melinda places her
hand on Wanda's shoulder, "Are ya sure?" walks with them to the truck.
Wanda smile and nods
hopping into the back of the truck
Melinda looks at
Wanda, "Wanda there's plenty of room up on the front with us."
Janice hands Wanda
the keys, "You two sit up front, don’t wanna spoil your dresses."
Janice adjusts her
hat
Melinda "Janice there's
plenty of room for all of us up here."
Janice "Mel its a
two seater."
Wanda hops out of
the back
Melinda looks into
the truck, "Well it still looks like it could fit three people." sighs
and gets into the truck.
Janice sighs, "Alright,
who’s sitting next to me?"
Wanda rolls her eyes
"Would you two just get up zere."
Melinda wonders who's
going to drive and who's sittin where.
Wanda hops in the
back putting the keys in Janice’s hand
Janice gets in and
waited for them both, "Either I a sitting out there and you two are driving
or we all three are I here."
Wanda "Ze dress will
be fine."
Janice gets out of
the truck and heads to the back, "Wanda here." hands her the keys, "You
look to beautiful to sit back here."
Melinda sighs and
shakes her head.
Wanda <"Janice
I can hear you from here lets just go please."> rolls her eyes and then
just hops down
Melinda "I will sit
in the middle, Wanda get in here. Janice we're not gonna have her in that
pretty dress sitting Wanda "Thank you" grabs the keys and gets in the drivers
seat back there."
Janice sighs and
climbs in the back and looks though the back window, "Can you remember
the way?"
Wanda "Oui"
Janice "Alright drive."
Wanda turns on the
engine and heads out
Narrator
They arrive reasonably fast
Melinda "Wanda what
happened to Charles? Why isn't he joinin us tonight?"
Janice is in the
back looking at the pretty stars
Wanda "He passed
out, men!"
Melinda "Oh did he
now?"
Wanda "Aw, too much
to drink I think."
Janice looks in and
can see them talking and smiles.
Melinda "He didn’t
get hurt in the bar fight, did he?"
Wanda "I do not know
by the time I got him in ze room he was out."
Melinda "Too many
orgasms, huh?" And giggles at the thought of the name of the drink.
Wanda hops out of
the truck
Janice smirks and
slides to the right of the truck bed and slinks her hand into Mel’s window
and touches her shoulder
Wanda smiles "Oui
Melinda."
Melinda looks over.
Janice "We are here."
she jumps down and opens Mel's door for her
Wanda waits for the
girls in front of the truck
Melinda gets outta
the truck, "Just can't keep your hands off of me, huh? Now remember ya
promised to be good tonight."
Janice looks flabbergasted,
"I didn’t do anything."
Melinda smirks, "Yet."
And heads for the front door.
Janice looks at Mel,
"Can you blame me?" and runs after them
Melinda looks down
at Janice, "Now ya promised me." Quickly places a kiss on her cheek. "I'm
gonna keep ya to you're word."
Janice knocks on
the door, and wipes the lipstick from her cheek, "Then stop tempting me
woman."
Melinda giggles.
Julius comes to the
door
Janice didn’t get
all the lipstick off
Melinda sees Janice
wiping her off her lipstick and tries to help her. "Here."
Julius opens the
door and says at the same time "Dr. Janice Covington, not like you to be
late." grins
Janice grins like
a schoolgirl and bounces up hugging him when she sees him, "Been waiting
to do that since I saw you."
Julius picks her
up "That's my girl." wonders why Janice's friend is wiping her cheek as
he hugs her and puts her down "Wait since when do you wear lip..." pauses,
"Ah." and shows a knowing grin. "Can't wait to tell Betsy you sneak."
Melinda blushes slightly.
Julius extends his
hand to Melinda
Janice turns away
to her friends, "This is Melinda Pappas, you met her yesterday." Noting
is English has definitely improved over the years.
Julius "It's a honor
to have you in our home."
Melinda takes his
hand giving it a firm shake.
Julius smacks Janice
"I know who she is"
Janice turns to Wanda
and smiles, "This is Wanda DePoisson, you met her as well."
Melinda "Why thank
ya. Sorry we're late."
Julius grins towards
Wanda "Welcome to our home."
Janice sighs, thinking,
‘I was trying to be formal its my first date in ten years for Christ
sakes Jules.’
Wanda "Ez a pleasure."
Melinda walks in
looking around her at their beautiful home.
Julius rolls his
eyes and whispers to Janice, "Aren't you a bit old for a first date?" and
runs playfully behind her entering the room
Betsy walks out of
the kitchen wearing and apron and wiping her hands on a dishtowel, "Jul
are they here?" her American accent is now standing out
Wanda waves "Oui,
I'm ze chaperone."
Janice <"Cut it
out Jules">
Melinda "Ya have
a beautiful house here Julius."
Julius smirks
Betsy grins and then
screams, "Jan!" and runs up to her and hugs her
Julius "Its all Betsy's
doing."
Melinda smiles and
thinks, "Well that must be Betsy."
Janice gets crushed
and then tries to hug her back, "I missed you too Best." thinking of her
nickname, being the Best for Jules.
Julius "Oh Janice
you haven’t met the newest members of our family." is giddy. "Follow me
ladies."
Melinda follows along.
Julius opens a door
and you see seven 3 week old puppies
Melinda as she bends
down to pet them, "Oh how adorable!"
Janice stands there
and watches
Julius 'That one
is Janice... she has the attitude."
Janice smirks, "She
the cute one too."
Melinda picks one
up as it licks her face, "He's too cute."
Julius "And that
one with the grey streak we named after Betsy’s home state Missouri, Mo
for short." grins with pride
Melinda looks at
Janice while she's still holding the pup. "Aren't they adorable?"
Julius "I think dinner
is ready if you care to join us."
Janice "Thought you
were from Colorado Best?" nods to Mel, "I would get you one if we weren’t
always in danger." Frowns.
Melinda pouts cause
she knows not to even try now, but continues to pet the pup.
Janice picks up the
Janice pup and it licks her face, "See you like to kiss too." and glances
at Mel
Julius "Smells good
Best."
Betsy walks back
in after disappearing)"Thank you dear."
Melinda smirks but
doesn't look at Janice cause she knows that was directed to her. She puts
the pup down and turns to Betsy as she enters.
Betsy "Hope you two
are homesick for real American cooking, sometimes its hard to get the right
ingredients here. But Jules..." hugs him, "Has connections."
Julius grins
Melinda "I'd love
some American cooking. I've missed it since I've been here."
Julius "She is a
great cook."
Melinda thinks bout
all the southern cooking she's missing.
Janice "Well I am
starving, all I have had was a beer and two orgasms today." straight faced
and puts the pup down
Julius spits his
drink out "Janice!"
Melinda tries to
hide a smile after hearing Janice.
Julius "You never
change." he grins
Janice watches the
Janice pup try and lick another pup as it keeps walking away tripping over
it’s own feet, muttering under her breath, "There’s the Mel pup." looks
up at Jules taking her mind off of the moment, "New drink at the hotel,
you should try it. Hell-a-va kick."
Julius "I'll do that."
Janice "That’s why
I'm late, knocked me out, I actually fell asleep."
Melinda "Not to mention
the name of it." And laughs.
Julius sees Wanda
a tad uncomfortable "Please sit, my home is yours. Friends of my Janice’s
are friends of mine."
Wanda grins and sits
down, feels better seeing how nice these two are
Melinda makes herself
comfortable.
Betsy after disappearing
again comes out with a plate of snacks and points to the bar in the corner,
a little cabinet "Julius make them a drink."
Julius "Oh my what
was I thinking" he hops up "Some host. What would you ladies care for?"
Melinda "I think
I'll have to pass on the drink, thank ya. I woke up with a really bad hang
over."
Janice "Scotch on
the rocks for me, and I know Mel likes wine, but I don’t know the brand."
bites her tongue, "You got coffee?"
Julius "We have a
wonderful red wine."
Janice turns to Wanda,
"What’s your poison?"
Melinda smiles, "Yes
coffee would be good." Thinks, "Or maybe some tea"
Wanda thinks 'I
could use a drink, loosen me up' and says "Ze scotch will be wonderful."
Julius "Tea and two
scotches, right."
Janice "Two scotches
it is." and smiles at Wanda then turns to rush and help Betsy with the
tray of food
Betsy "Oh Muscles
you know I can handle this, go sit with your friends."
Melinda "So Julius,
I wanna hear all the stories ya have on Janice here." And grins.
Julius "I think I
have some naked baby pictures around here someplace." and smirks
Betsy "Janice I said
I could handle it," Looks at her husband, "Jul tell Muscles she’s the guest
not the host."
Janice "Best let
me handle it."
Melinda "So ya'll
have known her that long, huh?"
Janice ignored Jules
and lets go of the tray, "If you drop it I will laugh."
Julius "I'm not making
her do anything, I remember what happened last time."
Betsy sticks her
tongue out at Janice and giggles at her, "I am sure you will."
Melinda giggles,
"Janice let her do that. Ya come over here and sit down. Leave Betsy alone."
Julius "We have known
her for more years that I can count."
Janice walks up and
pulls on Jules ear, "Decades you mean." and sits with Mel. "So you want
the full dirt?"
Julius smiles
Janice turns to Wanda,
"You aren't interested in naked baby pictures of me and Jules are you?"
Wanda grins
Janice looks back
at Jules, "Why the hell did they put us in washbowls?"
Melinda "So tell
us some stories bout her. What other mischievous things has this woman
done? "
Wanda "That has to
be a joke. No?" looks at Julius "Let us see."
Melinda raises an
eyebrow, "Washbowls?"
Wanda is feeling
better
Janice "No our parents
where best friends, our fathers were both archaeologist and well, I guess
they though it would be funny."
Julius "The Gods
only know."
Melinda giggles,
"Well I'll just have to see those pictures one day then."
Janice glances at
Betsy, "Have you forgiven me for burning the hole in the couch yet?" she
waves a cigar she pulls fro her jacket. She nudges Mel, "Nah you already
saw me naked, hell you both did."
Melinda "Janice do
ya really have to smoke one now?"
Wanda whispers to
Janice <"Sorry about before I just was afraid you two did not need me
any more. Thank you for taking me here.">
Betsy looks at Janice
putting the cigar in her mouth, "Not in the house young lady, I told you
no last time."
Janice sighs and
looks heartbroken, "Who the hell would outlaw smoking in a building?"
Julius giggles
Melinda "Ya heard
the lady."
Janice nudges Wanda,
"Course not, besides you would let me smoke wouldn't you?"
Julius looks up and
thinks 'I thought Best was the only person that could talk to her like
that.'
Julius grins thankful
that Janice seems happy
Melinda "Well at
least someone can do it."
Wanda "Like ze chimney."
Janice turns to Betsy,
"Just one, look I’m sober." She gets up and walks a mock straight line.
"See and I can touch my nose too."
Betsy giggles, "Janice
Covington are you ever serious?"
Julius "No." smiles
Melinda "That's the
same question I was wonderin."
Janice puts the unlit
cigar in her mouth determined to suck on something, "Yes but no one takes
me seriously when I am."
Julius gets an idea
"Hey Janice stop playing footsie." Smirks thinking 'I love a
good joke'
Janice sniff the
air, "Betsy if that;s fried chicken I will kiss you." ignores Jules still
sniffing the air
Julius "Footsie with
me and kissing my wife? Nothing has changed."
Betsy puckers up
Melinda sniffs the
air, "I might even kiss her if it is chicken."
Wanda grins not answering
for herself
Melinda misses fried
chicken from back home now even more.
Janice "Well god
damn it Best you read my mind." Hops up from the couch and pecks her on
the cheek and rushes into the kitchen, Betsy follows, yelling at her to
keep away from it.
Melinda shakes her
head, "I swear that woman. Can't keep still of a second."
Betsy from behind
the swinging kitchen door. "Janice get your dirty little fingers off of
that right now!"
Julius "Never could
either."
Door swings shut
behind them you hear commotion
Melinda turns around
to see what it is.
Julius "Uh oh...."
Betsy "Muscles I
can't believe you just did that!"
Julius "She is in
trouble now."
Janice "What I washed
my hands."
Melinda "Betsy what
is it that she did now?"
Julius shakes his
head
Betsy "Covington
get your rear in there right now it will be done in a minute." a pause
and a shout, "Janice Covington stop it, what the hell is wrong with you?"
Melinda "Janice come
sit down here!" And pats the seat besides her. "Remember that promise ya
promised me."
Julius smirked "Let
me guess, you made her say she would be good" laughed
Janice gets pushed
out of the kitchen by an irked Betsy who has mash potatoes on her nose
Betsy "Sit down now
young lady."
Melinda smiles, "Well
it sounded good at the time. I was just hoping that she would actually
do it."
Betsy pushes her
to Julius, "You take her she’s too much of a handful for me."
Melinda smirks.
Janice sits down
and looks at Mel, "All I did was taste the potatoes."
Melinda sips on her
tea and giggles, "And that's it, huh?"
Janice smiles, "Well
she got between us, you see I have this obsession with food, and well,
she interrupted me."
Melinda "Uh huh."
And whispers to her, "Now ya promised to behave tonight."
Julius giggles to
himself
Janice nudges Mel,
"Thought you meant something else by that."
Julius laughs out
loud
Melinda "Well that
too." And smiles.
Wanda "Mm, that smells
so nice."
Janice sighs, "Changing
the rules Pappas."
Melinda says playfully,
"Yes I am Janice."
Betsy sits next to
Wanda wiping the potato off of her nose and looks at her, "Have you had
fried chicken before Wanda?"
Wanda "Oh Oui. I
had it once but zhis smells is wonderful."
Melinda "Yes it does,
doesn't it. I can't wait to eat."
Janice "If I
did that you would pout."
Wanda pokes her Janice
the side "Once she knows what you mean by good she will never argue with
you again. No?" and smirks
Melinda looks over
to Janice wonderin what she meant by that.
Betsy "Well let me
go get it then, Julius you seat them."
Janice stands and
offers Mel her hand
Julius motions towards
the table "Shall we?"
Janice offers Wanda
the other hand, and looks at her neglected other hand
Melinda takes Janice's
hand.
Wanda follows
Melinda gets up and
follows Julius to that dinning room.
Betsy walks out with
a couple of giant bowls and then rushes in to get more
Janice pulls out
the girls seats for them
Julius waits for
the ladies to be seated
Wanda grins widely
and take sit, thanking Janice
Melinda "Why thank
ya Janice." And sits down taking the napkin and placing it on her lap.
Janice smiles at
Wanda and looks at the food on the table, she pushes in Mel’s chair for
her and then sits herself down.
Julius "Looks great
as always love."
Melinda "It looks
like she's been cookin all day. She really didn't have to go through all
that trouble."
Betsy comes in with
the main course a huge pan that’s covered. "Thank you honey."
Julius "You kidding
she loves it."
Janice "Nah Mel she
loves cooking." gets pinched on the cheek as Betsy walks by one last time
to take her seat
Wanda feels more
at home than she has in years
Betsy flicks the
napkin out and then on her lap, "Apparently I love it." smiles with a twinkling
eye
Janice waits to be
served impatiently
Wanda puts her napkin
in her lap
Julius "Hungry Janice?"
smirks, "Can hear your stomach rumble from here."
Betsy dishes out
some portions and shakes her head at her husband
Janice "That ain’t
all." she smirks at Mel and hands Betsy her plate
Julius squeezes Betsy's
leg under the table and gives her a wink
Wanda waits patiently
Betsy nearly dropped
her plate, "Honey stop that." and giggles handing out the plates
Melinda snickers
and looks at Janice. "Well I've found out that she does have a big appetite
that's for sure."
Janice brushes Mel's
leg, "Shush you."
Melinda smirks and
helps pass out the plates.
Narrator
They enjoy a wonderful meal and clean their plates and move to the living
room after their meal
Betsy walks into
the kitchen with the last of it, "Julius go get that new record you bought."
Janice insisted on
helping Betsy.
Melinda sits back
on the sofa thinking she ate way too much.
Wanda "I can't tell
you how wonderful zhat meal was Betsy."
Melinda "Yes it was
delicious."
Betsy "You are welcome
dear." from the kitchen, "Muscles don't you ever stop eating?" you hear
a pot lid falling, "Muscles!"
Melinda "She just
can't stay outta things, can she?" She says shaking her head and laughing.
Betsy throws Janice
out of the kitchen, "And stay out missy!"
Janice was helping
and pulls out her cigar walking out to the back porch
Julius "So, now that
we got rid of Miss eat-allot, you wanna pump us for information?" wiggles
his eyebrows
Janice lights the
cigar and breathes a relief having missed out on this for awhile her system
was craving it.
Melinda smiles, "I'd
love to hear all the dirty ya have on Janice. I might be able to use someday."
She says jokingly.
Julius "Okay, she
ever tell you about that scar on her back?"
Melinda wonders if
Janice can hear her out on the porch.
Janice smiles and
watches the stars above her and not believing there is a war going on
Julius "She says
that it was from a knife wound."
Melinda frowns suddenly,
"Well no. Not after she got burnt I don't remember seein that."
Betsy "Oh Julius
not that one." walks out with coffee tray and more tea for Mel, "The knife
wound was the leg."
Julius "Don't tell
her I told you this but she was attempting to sing in a talent show, got
so scared and fell of the stage." Hears what his wife said, "It was?" Thinks
about it. "What was the back?"
Betsy "Yes and it
wasn’t singing it was dancing."
Julius "Well..."
stops himself from cussing.
Betsy "She was shot
in the back."
Julius "No dear,
it was singing and dancing."
Melinda leans over
and takes her cup, "Singin? Janice sings? I can't see that."
Julius "Oh that’s
right."
Betsy shakes her
head, "Janice cant sing dear."
Julius "And you don’t
want to."
Melinda watches the
couple going back and forth.
Betsy "She can dance
though." nods to Julius
Melinda giggles.
Julius nods
Melinda "Oh can she
now? I would have never thought that one either."
Julius "She could
frighten a alley cat with that voice of hers."
Betsy giggles, "I
doubt she still has her ballerina shoes though."
Julius "Why not she
looks so cute in pink"
Melinda laughs.
Betsy "Do we still
have that picture?"
Wanda is giggling
uncontrollably
Melinda "Oh now I
would love to see that picture."
Betsy gets up to
find the old album
Julius "Are you kidding
its in my wallet!"
Melinda giggles again.
Julius laughs at
his own bad joke, turns to watch his wife, "No love its in there." And
points.
Betsy looks through
the cabinet against the wall and comes back with an album, "I was thinking
of the larger one."
Julius "She tell
you about the nut bread?"
Betsy opens her book
and skims it, "You sure?"
Julius "No the blue
book."
Melinda hopes Janice
doesn't come back in here anytime soon to stop them from showing the picture
to them.
Betsy giggles and
rushes over to Mel, "Here’s Janice and Harry," laughs, "She’s so adorable
in a pith helmet." looks it over, "You two must have been ten here."
Melinda looks down
at the picture, "Aw she was adorable."
Julius "Yeah but
does she have to be poking me with that stick?"
Melinda giggles again.
"Looks like you two were awfully close."
Betsy flips a page,
"Oh that ghastly short hair of hers, how did she get it so blonde?"
Julius "She tried
to die it."
Betsy "She did that
to impress Perry I think." looks at the old black and white picture, "She
was 14 here."
Melinda "I can't
picture her havin short hair now. God I hope she wouldn't even concern
doin that."
Julius "Went horribly
wrong and she had to cut it all off"
Betsy smiles, "No
dear that wasn't Janice that did that," whispers, "That was me."
Julius hushes "Oops."
Betsy "Janice did
it cause it was the style," leans to Mel, "She wore dresses that year allot
too."
Melinda "Perry? Tell
me bout him. She really hasn't said much bout him."
Betsy gets quiet
and turns a few pages.
Melinda "Janice in
a dress? Now that I would pay money to see."
Julius "He was a
good man, they were happy together."
Betsy lands on a
few pictures of Perry and Janice, her wearing a dress. "There he is, all
handsome and smiling."
Melinda "They weren't
married long were they?"
Betsy sighs and gets
somber, "He always smiled."
Julius "He grew up
with us."
Betsy looks up at
Mel, "A few hours."
Melinda looks down
at the picture, "Yes is very handsome." And gets quiet, "Oh that's right."
And seems to be thinking bout something.
Julius "He was a
bit older and she didn’t find him... you know attractive until she was
older."
Betsy turns the page
and gets kinda choked up, "There’s Janice on Perry's bike."
Julius smiles sadly
Janice has been leaning
against the door frame listening and thinking
Melinda "I'm sorry
I didn't mean to bring bad memories like that." feels sorry that she even
asked now.
Betsy taps Mel's
leg, "Oh no dear don’t think a second thought."
Julius "No they are
good."
Janice stomps out
the cigar and sighs going back in the room and closing the door behind
her.
Melinda "Well just
as long as ya'll remember the good times that ya had with him, huh?" And
tries to smile to lighten up the mood.
Betsy flips the pages
back hearing Janice enter the room
Julius looks up "Hey
just going through some memories."
Melinda looks up
at Janice entering the room. "All done with your cigar I see."
Janice forces a smile
and glances at the book, "See they showed you those baby pictures after
all." nods, and drinks her scotch.
Melinda smiles, "Yes
they did and ya were such a cute little child." she giggles.
Janice "Now I'm a
terror." she smiles and looks at an old picture, "Oh no you didn’t show
her the <"ballerina"> (Greek) picture."
Wanda gets up and
walk over to Janice, whispers to her in French. <"A truly blessed person
can find two loves."> pats her arm and goes to sit back down
Julius "Now what
do you take me for?"
Janice wrinkles her
brow at Wanda wondering if Aphrodite is channeling through her "A cad."
and grins
Julius "Course I
did" chuckles
Janice "Figures,"
turns to Mel, ".. now you know the horrible truth."
Melinda smiles, "But
that doesn't change anything. I still love ya for who ya are. Well were....
a little ballerina in a pink." And giggles once more.
Janice takes it away
from Betsy and covers her face with the book, "My life is over." She falls
down hard on the couch and feigns a faint.
Julius grins "No
I would say its begun again."
Melinda smiles, "I
won't tease ya bout it too much Janice. I promise."
Wanda grins "But
I will twinkle toes."
Janice still under
the book, "Great, any chance I can go to South Carolina and find dirt on
you?" decides not to remove the book ever.
Wanda laughs
Melinda "Well ya
can try Janice. But lets hope ya don't find anything on me." laughs also
with Wanda.
Janice "How bad could
it be Mel?" muffled still under the book
Melinda "Not bad
at all." And giggles.
Wanda makes a mental
note to look into Mel's past
Melinda is looking
at Janice, "Are ya gonna stay covered up like that all night?"
Betsy "Muscles give
me that before you break the binding." takes the book from her and closes
it.
Janice "Yes" until
she feels the air hit her "I will go buy my own then." and pouts
Melinda "And get
the same pictures in it too?" She says with a smile.
Betsy looks at the
clock "Janice you know you are cutting it close to curfew, you best get
these ladies home."
Wanda yawns "It was
nice of you to have us."
Janice "No Mel new
pictures for it, all of us and my book on my head." she kids
Julius "Yes take
those women to bed."
Melinda giggles and
holds back a yawn cause she's gotten tried all of a sudden.
Janice rolls her
eyes at Julius, "Careful Jules I may take Betsy with me."
Julius raises a brow
"Over my dead body."
Janice stands up
"Thanks for a nice and humiliating evening." and hugs Best and Jules.
Julius "Anytime."
Melinda stands up
and gets ready to leave, "Thank ya for such a wonderful evenin Julius and
Betsy."
Wanda stands and
heads to the door still giggling
Betsy slaps Julius
playfully, "Oh I don't know, I like muscular bodies you know that." and
winks at Janice and hugs the other two women.
Janice Walks into
the night air after the goodbyes
Julius "Hey I'm in
shape."
Melinda "It was a
pleasure meetin the both of ya." She says smiling warmly at the both of
them.
Janice looks at her
truck and then back again, placing her hat on her head.
Wanda "Good night"
follows
Melinda finish saying
her goodbyes and heads to the truck.
Janice opens the
doors for the girls and climbs in the back
Wanda gets the keys
out and decides to drive
Melinda gets in.
Wanda hops in and
starts the engine
Janice sits down
in the back
Wanda heads to the
hotel
Melinda "Now they
were a wonderful pair. I really enjoyed tonight. Dinner was delicious."
Janice is chewing
on a few candies she swiped from the entry table and is watching the stars
again
Narrator
They arrive at the hotel shortly after
Melinda can't remember
when she'd had such a big meal since she's gotten to Greece.
Janice should have
taken the doggie bag
Wanda hops out of
the truck
Janice hops out after
the truck stops
Wanda tosses the
keys to Janice
Janice goes to open
Mel’s door and catches the keys
Melinda smiles and
make her way out of the truck.
Janice shakes her
head trying not to think about Mel's long hair and the fact she saw all
those humiliating pictures of her
Wanda motions for
them to head to the hotel
Janice follows them
in the hotel
Wanda reaches the
lift and hits the button, watching as the doors open immediately
Janice checks for
messages then heads to the lift with the girls
Melinda is ready
for bed. "Janice we have to have dinner with them again sometime soon."
Wanda steps on to
the lift and holds the doors for the others
Janice agrees and
nods, "Only if I can knick their photo albums and scrap books."
Melinda follow Wanda
in giggling.
Janice gets on the
lift, glances between the tired women
Melinda "But that
was the best part of the night. How often are we gonna be able to see ya
in pink?"
Wanda steps out when
they reach their floor
Janice slaps her
forehead, "I never told Jules we found the scrolls." walks out feeling
like a moron
Melinda "Oh my goodness,
no ya didn't."
Wanda looks back
"You will see him again soon, no?"
Melinda steps off
the lift.
Janice nods, "But
still, his father helped my father. They are related to the scrolls too
you know."
Wanda jingles her
keys
Janice sighs, "Granted
I didn’t know that until now."
Melinda "Oh no I
didn't know that."
Janice smiles, "Jules
is from the Caesar lineage." Shaking her head, thinking ‘Or so he always
claimed.’
Wanda stops in front
of her room "I am sure you can call him in xe morning."
Janice smiles at
Wanda and pecks her on the cheek, "Thanks for coming."
Wanda grins "Night
girls."
Melinda "Goodnight
Wanda. See ya in the mornin. Hopefully we wouldn't over sleep."
Wanda "I had ze fun,
thank you for letting me tag along." opens the door
Janice "Anytime."
and walks to her room
Melinda is waiting
for Janice since she has the keys.
Janice unlocks the
door and flicks on a light
Melinda heads in
and gets ready for bed.
Wanda closes the
door and gets ready for bed
Janice throws her
hat on the rack... and makes it, smirking as it spins neatly a few times.
She takes off her jacket and sits down to unlace her shoes
Melinda "Did have
fun tonight Janice?"
Janice glances up
at Mel, "I can take the couch if you want." nods, "I love those two." gets
one boot off, and starts on the other one
Melinda "Now Janice
why would ya do that now? Sleep in the sofa I mean."
Janice "Well, now
that we are together, I wouldn’t want to compromise your, um, you know."
cant get the boot off and is struggling
Wanda finishes getting
ready and practically runs into bed nuzzling down
Janice yanks the
boot really hard and it goes flying to the other side of the room landing
safely and sighs, "That’s why she calls me muscles."
Melinda "My what?
Don't ya trust yourself to be around me now?" And raises a brow.
Janice looks over
at Mel, "No I don't." and tries to smile.
Melinda climbs into
bed and giggles, "Well Janice I trust ya. I don't think I have anything
to worry bout."
Wanda "Zzzzz."
Melinda "Janice I
wish ya would stop sayin stuff like that. Makes me blush every single time
ya do." And covers herself up with the blanket.
Janice "I don’t think
you know how irresistible you really are." gets out of her shirt and heads
to the bathroom to check her bandages and comes back out in her boxers
with her shirt hiked up trying to find where the thing is unraveling from.
Melinda "Come over
here and let me help ya with that."
Janice walks over
and sits on the bed. "Help." and looks at her, "Damn thing is out of reach."
Melinda grabs the
end of it and starts to unwrap it.
Janice looks up at
her, "Does it need changing?"
Wanda "Zzzz"
Melinda looks at
it. "Yeah I think so. But you're healin up pretty well too. Give me the
first aid kit so I can get your back done for ya."
Janice turns her
back so Mel can fix it and lifts up her shirt, "Okay Florence, wrap me."
stretches across the bed and grabs it and hands it back to her
Melinda fixes her
up and wraps her once more.
Janice makes a comment
that Wanda is probably snoring somewhere, lowers her top and turns around
smiling at Mel, "Thank you."
Melinda laughs, "Well
if we hear her from here I'll be surprised.
Janice giggles, "Never
know."
Melinda "You're welcome.
Now come to bed." yawns.
Janice raises an
eyebrow
Melinda smiles, "What?"
Janice "Was I good
tonight?"
Melinda makes herself
comfy and smiles once more, "Well cept for givin Betsy a hard time in the
kitchen, I would say yes you were."
Janice smiles, "What
do I get for it?"
Melinda wonders if
she should ask and ends up asking anyway, "What is it ya want?" looks around,
"Funny. I could have sworn I just heard Wanda snorin."
Janice wiggles her
eyebrows and leans closer to her and kisses her on the cheek. "Paid in
full Miss Pappas." and stands up.
Melinda grins to
herself, ‘See now I knew I could trust her to behave.’
Janice walks to the
couch and smirks at it, looking for the possible comfort zone.
Melinda rolls over
and looks at her, "You're actually gonna sleep on the sofa tonight?"
Janice looks back,
"I think I better, I can't trust my hands, even in my sleep."
Melinda grins, "Well
ok but don't say I didn't offer ya the bed."
Janice looks at the
couch then at the bed, "Oh well hell." and hops in bed like a kid and bounces
to the other side.
Melinda laughs and
thinks, ‘I knew she would do that.’ "Changed your mind I see."
Janice snuggles down
and looks at Mel, "Yes I did." tries to be cute and sticks the blanket
over her mouth, "How about a goodnight kiss?"
Melinda can't help
but give it to her and leans in to kiss her and pulls away after a moment.
"Night Janice."
Janice lays down
and gets comfortable, sliding a arm under Mel's head, "Night my love."
kisses the top of her head.
Wanda "Zzzz"
Melinda snuggles
in close to Janice and shuts her eyes.
To
be continued someday...
