Chapter 26 - Cairo (part 3)
Bo and Lauren had blankets wrapped around them as the last of the emergency trucks pulled away. Jeffrey was stood talking to the young lad who had given Bo the jeep. Moments later, he drove the jeep away.
It had been two hours before they were found aimlessly floating on the lake. During that time, they had really talked, without anywhere to run to or hid from, it made them be more open and honest with each other. Lauren had finally confronted Bo on why she had discussed their sex life to Evony. Bo was deeply remorseful. Her immediate reaction was to give back the necklace, Lauren, however, was not letting her get off that easily. Instead, they talked about it. Bo explained how she was being berated about Lauren being vanilla, and she only wanted to shut her up and tell her that Lauren was the best sex she had ever had, this made Lauren happy and the necklace was returned along with her forgiveness. Bo promised to never utter another word to anyone, Lauren was happy as she claimed it only got better. Lauren was honest about having Bo's file and the initial read not being good. Bo was upset at first but listened as Lauren continued to explain that there were some signs of hope as the toxicology report showed abnormal levels of atropine. Lauren suggested that Bo should hand herself in as it would look better and to trust the justice system and the science. Bo was not as convinced but agreed regardless. Their time on the lake brought them closer than they had ever been with anyone else in their lives and in themselves found their soulmate.
It had been Petra and Carmen who had found them and raised the alarm when they had spotted them just floating on the lake while they were on their canoe ride. They were deliberately losing the crowd and looking for a secluded spot, instead, they found wet, cold and shivering Bo and Lauren clinging onto each other in the middle of their boat. Bo, wet from trying to swim to collect her ore, and Lauren wet from when she fell in trying to pull Bo back in the boat. What followed was a colossal of lights, noise and speedboats. The boat that they had "stolen" belonged to the same man who owned the jeeps and called for his son to come immediately to the boat house to explain why his boat was missing and his jeep was in the drive. The son alerted Jeffrey and Carman had alerted the Activities Centre, so two lots of rescue operation was taking place, leaving both Bo and Lauren embarrassed.
"So ladies, you ready to go back to camp?" Jeffrey asked, pointing to his land-rover.
"Yeah, don't want to miss the kumbaya around the fire." Bo replied sarcastically, unimpressed that her perfect plans had not all together gone to plan. Despite Lauren not actually saying anything, she knew she was bound to get blamed for almost dying tonight. All Lauren had said was that she was cold and wanted a shower.
"Don't be silly Bo, we wouldn't dream of starting that without you, you can have the tambourine." Jeffrey winked over to Lauren who laughed.
Lauren walked over to Bo, "Baby, it was a perfect birthday." Lauren knelt beside her and took the pendant Bo was wearing in her fingers once again, "My future wife."
Bo smiled. "Yeah, thank you again, it is beautiful." They walked to the land-rover and got in.
"Ah ladies, I could not help but overhear, congratulations on your engagement. This deserves a celebration of sorts. Wait until we get back to the camp, the party has definitely started now." Jeffrey clicked his iPod until he found the perfect song, the latest song from Jason Marz, I'm Yours.
Lauren and Bo looked at each other, someone had to say something, but who could explain that conversation they had out on the lake. About Bo not having a surname, and Lauren giving her, her's. That it was only a promise that one day it would be a reality. They continued to look at each other, what made sense before was not making sense now. It looked to be a proposal, Bo was given something by Lauren that promised her to be her wife, and Bo had accepted. Shit, it was a proposal, they both thought, neither actually saying the words. Did the other one know that? Why was no-one speaking?
They arrived back to the camp quicker than they expected, Jeffrey was honking the horn and announcing to anyone listening the good news of their recent engagement. Bo and Lauren were surrounded quickly by others, Carmen and Petra were the first to congratulate them, followed by Hayden and Scott, Timothy hugged them both and Jeffrey was busy telling people of the change of plans and that tonight was going to be couples theme and the outfits were in the main hall.
"Of course you get to pick first, so hurry, is ten minutes enough?" Jeffrey asked over to Bo and Lauren.
Bo and Lauren nodded, still neither had said a word. Afraid of what the other one was thinking. They entered the hut and Lauren went straight for the shower, Bo plopped herself down on a beanbag. The sound of water was the only noise coming from the hut. Lauren walked out moments later, wrapped in a towel.
"Hey, all yours." Lauren spoke, motioning her head toward the bathroom.
"Are you ok Lo? with all this?" Bo said, not looking up.
"Bo, its fine, everything is fine." Lauren lied, the first time she had ever lied to Bo, "It's quicker than I thought. I thought we would enjoy it all with just us for a while, then share it with the others and eventually my family. I'm not upset though, as we are in a camp with people we just met, so let's enjoy tonight and we can take it slower when we are back in the real world. Come on, it's a party and we just spent two hours sat on a dingy in the middle of a lake, wet through and cold. We have a pressing decision to make, what couple should we be?" Lauren opened her towel and wiggled her naked self in front of Bo, making her laugh.
"Ok, ok. I'm coming." Bo stood and wrapped her arms around her future wife.
'No you're not, but tonight you will be, over and over again." Lauren whispered the last part into Bo's ear. They both had relaxed. Tonight, was going to be a good night.
The party was in full swing; they had chosen their outfits and without any surprise they dressed as Marc Anthony and Cleopatra. Bo choosing to be Cleopatra with her long dark straight hair, and a gold floor long dress. Where she may have been covered to her feet, she still made sure the dress was pulled down short on her ample breasts, which looked amazing. Lauren wore her hair up, and wore a contrasting silver metal armour covering her top but resting short on the top of her thighs, showing off her slender legs. They danced, drank and joined in with the celebrations just as they would of if it had been a real party for them. People gave gifts, other well wishes, and they all celebrated under the stars and moonlight of the lake. Someone had pulled up a guitar and love songs were sung to them as they danced in their own bubble. The LGBT community had not disappointed them; they had made it all so perfect. A perfect day, with the perfect ending.
They never wanted the night to end, so slipped away as the sun was rising to sit on a fallen log overlooking the lake, holding each other as they sat silently watching the sun fully rise. If this was real, then it would be exactly how they would have imagined it, they both thought to themselves, never letting those words leave their lips.
Back in their hut, their love-making was extra special, they never wanted to miss a moment, knowing that the sunrise would mean the end of this and they had to go back. Go back to where they were just dating, back to work shifts and missing each other for hours on end, back to sharing their lover with other people. Back to the real world.
Monday 10th June - early morning
The next morning people were still talking about the party, it had been a good night. Complimentary massages were given to them by the camp and they spent the first hour of the morning neck deep in mud. A cleansing bath apparently, however Bo could not see how mud was cleansing. This was followed by Thai massages, while Lauren looked relaxed at her couple's massage, Bo was more uncomfortable being clicked, rolled and hammered by her attendant. Wrapped in the bathrobes they walked back, hand in hand, to their hut.
"Have you ever realised that when you don't need free shit, you get free shit?" Bo blurted out.
"What?" Lauren stopped walking and turned to face Bo.
"I mean, I had the money for our massage, I had budgeted for it in the day. Already put the money on the hut. Then today, we get it complimentary. It is the same for famous people, those who can afford the expensive designer clothes get given them for free. Kenzi and I have had many a night trying to figure it all out. When you don't need it, you get it. When you want it, you don't. It's a fucked-up world baby we live in."
Lauren laughed, "I suppose that is true. My parents fundraise for charity by hosting Gala Dinners, I never got it. With all those wealthy people why not just ask them for the money?"
"Exactly, why ask for ten grand a plate, just ask for the money and save the money that is spent on the Gala and donate that also." Bo agreed, smiling back at Lauren, happy to see that they felt the same way.
Lauren continued to walk to the hut, "Maybe next time I see them, I will suggest that."
"What are they really like?", Bo asked, "Your parents."
"Normal." Lauren lied, the second time in the space of a day that she had lied to Bo.
Once back at the hut, Bo busied herself packing up the bags ready for when they had to leave. Lauren stood by the window to simply admire the view, their lake, Lake Mornay, neither had bothered with getting dressed and were still in their robes. Lauren felt Bo's presence behind her before she heard her soft footsteps. The wooden floor creaked beneath her feet, as she stopped and stood directly behind Lauren.
"I could get used to this," Bo announced, wrapping her arms around Lauren's waist and resting her head on her shoulder. Lauren wrapped her own arms around her, on top on Bo's arms and leant back into her lover.
"Me too Bo." Lauren replied, turning slowly to face Bo and kissing her.
Their kiss deepened. The whole weekend had been full of sex, but this time they were saying goodbye to the only place they felt happy together. Lauren's hands made quick work of untying the robe and discarding it on the floor. She snaked her arms around Bo's waist and pulled her hungrily nearer. Stroking her soft skin and pressing down harder on her wanting month. The journey stroking down her back stopped when her fingers brushed against Bo's lower back, at the place where the underwear should have been. Cupping her bottom, she picked up Bo and placed her down on the floor beneath them.
"What happened to your paper knickers Bo?" Lauren asked, in between kisses.
"I, I, I took them off when we got back here, they were itchy," Bo replied, hot and flustered.
Lauren ministrations continued, kneeling in between Bo's parted legs, leaning over her and kissing her. Bo's hands were entwined in Lauren's hair, pulling at the roots to get her lover closer. A quiet whimper fell from Bo's lips as Lauren hand slowly edged along her sides and over her stomach. A burning desire built up quickly and Bo loved how turned on she got with Lauren so easy. It was never hard, sex was the most natural thing in the world to Bo, but with Lauren, it was made so much easier that she literally ached for her within minutes of her touch.
Lauren teased for a minute and worked her fingers along Bo's folds, purposely avoiding her clit. Bo was wet for her, which turned on Lauren the most, this thought could make her come alone. Bo was wet, warm, and swollen and what Lauren wanted more than ever right now was to taste her. She coated her fingers in Bo's juices and brought her hand away, slowly bringing her fingers up to her own mouth and sucked on each fingertip. Bo opened her eyes and shuddered, it was the sexiest thing she had ever seen.
"Oh God," Bo groaned as if that single act could simply make her come like that.
Not wanting to feel left out Lauren quickly placed back her hand to Bo's folds and began to gather up her juices to her clit and around her open sex. Her mouth travelled along to the hollow of Bo's throat and bit her neck where it met the gentle decline of her shoulder. Lauren lowered herself down lower onto Bo's smooth thighs and her legs parted, exposing more of her sex to her lover. Continuing with kissing her nape, shoulder and earlobe while teasing her clit at the same time with her fingers.
Bo was thrusting forward with every stroke of Lauren's fingers at the same time making easy work of removing Lauren's robe and pulling it over her shoulders and down her arms. It was open, and with Lauren's help, managed to get it off her arms and pushed aside. Next Bo reached down and tore the underwear off Lauren and threw the paper material behind Lauren's back. Grabbing her buttocks, Bo pulled Lauren closer and started to grind herself into Lauren, the friction causing their hips to bump together and them both to moan out loud.
Lauren manoeuvred herself so that her lower torso was rubbing against Bo clit, feeling her own clit whenever she stroked Bo's clit with her finger. Wanting more, Lauren took all of Bo's juices and rubbed her own clit with it before entering herself with her slick finger. "I'm so hot for you Bo, I'm fucking myself using your cum," Lauren whispered into Bo's ear, biting her lower lip and shutting her eyes as she thrust herself more onto Bo's clit using her body and finger fucking herself.
Bo groaned harder. In one swift action, Bo had flipped them over and was moving her hand between them and pulling Lauren's hand away and replacing it with her own. Bo thrust hard into her, one finger at first, then two, using her thumb to rub her clit. Lauren, now lost in the moment, wrapped her long slender legs around her lover and gripped hold of her neck with her arms, forcing them ever closer together. Lauren arched into every thrust, sweat soaking both their bodies, she used her nails to dig deep into Bo's back.
Lauren's drenched pussy was on fire now. Bo's other hand was pushing harder against Lauren's breast, rubbing, kneading and squeezing. Her nipples were enlarged and painfully erect, and the sensation of Bo's warm soft mouth alternating on them sent shivers down Lauren's body.
"Let's switch places," Lauren panted, "I want you on top of me, the other way around so that I can taste you."
Without hesitation, Bo, had moved and repositioned herself onto Lauren's mouth. Lauren hitched her knees up so that Bo could hold on. Bo quickened her pace on Lauren's mouth and threw her head back as the first orgasm hit her, pulling her hair back off her wet forehead as each wave crested over her. Falling forward as Lauren slowed down, Lauren always like the sixty-nine. Bo spread Lauren's legs apart, impressed with how flexible she was as both knees dropped to the floor. Bo took Lauren's feet into her hands and brought them further up toward her buttocks. Holding down her feet with one hand she used the other to penetrate her. Bo wanting Lauren to feel the same incredible feeling she was having right now, Lauren still had her head pressed against Bo's sex and was entering her with her tongue. Bo lowered her head to suck lightly on Lauren's clit, rubbing gently deep inside her at first, building up pace. She noticed that Lauren had stopped fucking her and was moaning loudly underneath her, she felt her hot breath against her sex. Bo continued to suck, fuck and ride Lauren.
Lauren started to rock forward as her pussy spasm around her saturated fingers, swallowing her repeatedly until her body fell limp. Passion overcome her and she grabbed Bo and pulled her back to her to suck hungrily on Bo's clit making them cum together one last time, finally they both crested, all cried out.
Bo moved back to lie next to Lauren, looking up at her and seeing a satisfied smile spreading across her face. Bo smiled herself, satisfied with her performance. They lay there in silence, waiting for their breathing to go back to normal, before showering again and getting ready for the last part of their adventure weekend.
In the last few hours at the Secret Valley, they joined in all that they could, a twenty-minute horse ride, followed by making a pottery dish in the craft hut. Although unintended, they did, with group persuasion, make one together in the style of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze's film "Ghost". This caused laughter and a small crowd to gather which led in them being asked to leave by the stuffy craft leader with a wonky half-finished pot to place out in the sun to dry. Both agreeing that they would not have been able to get as clean as Patrick and Demi did in the movie so quickly, as they pulled dried clay out their fingertips for the next hour.
The place was idyllic for them, as it meant that they could just be themselves, relax in each other's company and not take for granted small moments, such as been given a flower or a hand squeeze before the other zip lined through the forest. They didn't know it then, but this weekend would be the best that they ever would have, it was the first time either of them loved completely and unconditionally.
Picking up their dried pot and their suitcase they left with their group to a waving crowd of new friends. Three hours later they were on a plane bound for home, disappointed that the plane this time was full. Bo listened to her iPod while resting her head-on Lauren shoulder, Lauren meanwhile added more pictures to her digital photo frame. This had become her most treasured gift, as it was the story of them, and she knew she would add to it every day for the rest of her life, or like Bo said, when the memory was full when she told her the exact same thing. Bo had told her that some could be deleted, but Lauren was insistent that they never would, as each told a story and each one led on to the next one. Lauren's favourite one of the weekend and, the one that made her smile the most was taken by Hayden, it was just them sat on the log, by the lake with their back to the camera. You could only make them out as silhouettes, with Lauren's head resting on Bo's shoulder. Lauren smiled, she had now filled six songs and added Savage Garden, "I knew I Loved You" and Jason Marz, "I'm Yours" to the playlist, along with Christina Perri, "A Thousand Years".
The plane landed in Sharm el-Sheik airport just one hour later. Both felt the change immediately, a feeling in the stomach that things were about to change.
