Chapter 79
"Ella." Nic called walking into the house. "Come in Belle. The door was unlocked so somebody is bound to be home."
Belle walked in behind Nic.
"Are you sure Nic?" Belle asked.
"I texted her earlier." Nic said.
"Yeah, but did you get a response?" Belle giggled. "She might be busy."
Ella walked out of the kitchen.
"What are you two doing here?" she said flushed and slightly breathless.
"I needed to talk." Nic said.
"Uh huh." Ella said. "Nic you've only been married 3 days. Don't tell me you've changed your mind?"
Nic blushed.
Belle looked at her and laughed.
"Nicole Fran-er-Campbell blushing?" Belle asked.
She nodded.
"I need some motherly advice." Nic said.
"And why did you drag me here?" Belle asked her.
"Because I needed some older sisterly advice too." She added.
"Sit down I'll get some wine." Ella said with a sigh.
She watched as the two girls sat on the sofa and she disappeared into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and got out a bottle and found a couple of glasses. She took them through and put on the table before going and opening a beer. She drank half of it in one go and heard a dramatic cough coming from the laundry. She opened up a second beer and passed that through before rejoining the girls.
"Right Nic, " Ella said.
"I need to drink this first." She said tipping the glass up and downing it. "Ok." she said.
Belle leaned forward and refilled the glass.
"It's like this." Nic began and drank deeply from the second refill.
Ella and Belle looked at each other and grinned.
"I have orgasms." Nic said.
Ella burst out laughing.
"You're married. Its ok." She told her.
"No. Lots of them. I mean lots." She said looking at Ella. "Is this natural?"
Ella looked at her.
"Describe lots?" she asked.
"Well he looks at me and I'm almost … well anyway and then we go to bed and just taking my clothes off seems to set me off."
Belle laughed.
"You are on your honeymoon it's natural." Belle told her.
"I know that bit but it's never really happened before." She said.
"Are you telling me with your…er…history that you haven't with anybody." Belle gasped and downed her wine.
"Of course I have. Sometimes. But this is different."
Ella looked at her and laughed.
"Ella?" Nic asked.
"Do you love Geoff?" she asked her daughter.
Nic nodded.
"Oh yes." She said.
"That is the difference. You are in your own place, in a stable committed loving relationship and you are able to express yourself."
"Ok I can accept that. But two or three times? All the time?"
Ella grinned.
"No" Nic gasped. "Not that I want to know about you and my dad but really?" she asked.
"Nic it is perfectly natural."
"Hey have you christened the house yet?" Belle asked Nic.
"What?" she asked.
"You know in every room." Belle added.
Nic giggled.
"So that is what we are doing." She added and refilled her glass again.
Belle chuckled.
"How long does this last?" Nic asked. "Because I really want a nights sleep."
Belle and Ella burst out laughing.
"You kind of get into a routine." Belle said. "And only do it certain times. Especially with kids." She added, then her eyes met with Ella's and she put her hand over her mouth.
Ella smiled sadly and stood up. She patted Belle's shoulder on the way into the kitchen. Nic stumbled up from the sofa and went upstairs to use the bathroom so Belle stood and went into the kitchen. She saw Ella open two beers and take a long drink from one.
"I'm sorry." Belle said softly.
"I'm ok Belle. We have options. And anyway it isn't like I'm getting shot of Nic anytime soon." She said.
Belle turned and looked into the lounge at her glass, hiding the fact that she was felling tearful herself. When she turned around she saw Ella drinking the beer. She frowned.
"Where did that other bottle go?" she asked seeing that the second bottle or beer had disappeared.
Belle looked at her and frowned some more.
"You are wearing Roman's clothes." She said loudly.
Ella moved quickly and put her hand over Belle's mouth.
"Shush." She said.
Belle nodded and Ella removed her hand.
"This is going to be good isn't it. Where is he?" Belle asked.
Ella pointed to the laundry.
"And where are your clothes?" Belle smirked.
Ella sighed.
"I wasn't wearing any." She admitted. "I lost the bet."
"Uh huh." Belle said and folded her arms across her chest.
"Ok ok." Ella said blushing. "He bet me I would have a multiple orgasm." She looked at the floor in embarrassment.
"And the forfeit was to be naked?" Belle asked her.
Ella shook her head.
"Not quite." She said.
"Oh." Belle said blushing herself. "Well I'll get Nic and we'll go. Hang on. Multiple Orgasm?" Belle asked.
"I'm very good apparently." Roman called form the laundry room where he was hiding.
"Damn maybe I should have dated him." Belle said laughing.
Ella turned a darker shade of red and pushed a still giggling Belle back into the lounge.
"Just one more question. You are wearing his clothes and he's wearing?" Belle asked.
Ella looked at her.
"I was naked. He was clothed. We were busy. You came in. I had to put something on. He's wearing his boxers. Ok?" She said and sat hurriedly on the sofa when Nic came down the stairs.
Belle chuckled.
"What did I miss?" Nic said.
"Nothing." Belle told her. "We should get off Nic."
Nic shook her head.
"I've missed this. Nice as it is to be with my husband. " She paused to giggle at the husband part of the sentence. "I thought we could do a girlie evening."
Ella groaned and covered it up by drinking from her bottle.
Belle giggled.
"I think Ella was planning to do some laundry this evening." Belle told Nic.
Ella smirked trying to stop herself from giggling.
"Yes I'm busy. Got lots to do. Maybe another night. " Ella said.
Nic stood up slowly.
"Oh ok then." She said. "Just one more question."
"What is it Nic?" Ella said softly.
"Well just how many positions are there?" she said.
Ella laughed.
"Loads." She said and ran up the stairs returning back downstairs with a book.
Nic took it.
"The Karma Sutra." She said. "Hey. What are these ticks in here?" she asked then blushed as realisation kicked in.
"That one is interesting." Belle said pointing to one of the photos.
"Which one?" Ella asked and peered at it. "The one of page 36 is my favourite."
Nic flicked through the pages and found page 36.
"Oh." She said. "I'm going home now." She added after a minute slightly breathlessly.
Belle giggled and moved to the door.
"Can I borrow this?" Nic asked her holding up the book.
Ella nodded.
Nic pressed a kiss to her cheek and picked up the glasses and the bottles of the table she took them into the kitchen.
"Night Dad." She called and then turned and followed a laughing Belle out.
Roman came out of the laundry and looked at Ella who had collapsed on the sofa and was hiding her face under the throw.
"Page 36?" he asked. "Refresh my memory what one is that?" he asked pulling the throw down to look at her.
She leaned over and whispered in his ear.
He nodded.
"Now I remember." He said and picked her up to take her upstairs.
