Chapter 72:

—

Bella and I ended up staying with Tanya and Jane for two full days. Jane and Bella were instant friends, two girls of quite common interests, and Tanya and I were like we'd never spent a day apart. The four of us engaged in long conversations and even longer sessions of love making, in the bed, in the kitchen, on the couch. That cottage seemed to occupy its own little secluded corner of the world and we might've stayed there forever if the phones didn't start ringing with the rest of our friends wondering if we'd ran off again.

Within the next week we were settled in our new apartment. The corpse of the previous owner had long been cleared out and we had acquired the apartment at a modest discount. Irena had been more than happy to set us up with papers and identification and even a generous expense account until we could manage our own finances. Usually I would've just knocked over an ATM, but paying for apartments in cash was suspicious if not outright impossible, as we had learnt back in Seattle with Leah.

Irena also offered to let us keep the Lamborghini but it was a bit too flashy for Bella and I. For now we would make do with public transportation. Busses, trains, taxis. Until we could afford a car of our own. Something nondescript with lots of room in the back for hauling about unconscious women.

The apartment was fully furnished, which at least was one less worry. We bought a couple laptops and a couple phones and stocked up the refrigerator as well with bare essentials in case we had guests. Bottled water. Materials for sandwiches. But mostly we just relaxed and lounged about. We had been on the road for over a year and I suppose we never knew how tired we were. It felt nice to have a home again. A place that belonged to just us.

We knew that pretty soon we would have to get off our asses and go find some jobs but for now we were content to simply fool around and have fun. For five days we didn't leave the apartment and for five days we didn't wear a single stitch of clothing. Bella had a lot of TV shows to catch up on and I tried to watch them with her but I always became distracted by her breasts or legs, licking at her nipples and letting my hand slip between her thighs. Later on we browsed for sextoys on my laptop but we still had no money of our own and we decided to wait a while before building a new collection. There was no rush. We had the rest of eternity. Instead we made do with tongues and fingers and we orgasmed again and again, in bed, in the shower, on the couch. By night we cuddled in the dark and in silence and by sun rise we were murmuring and smiling and leaning to each other's lips.

Eventually the laundry began to pile up. Mostly bedsheets but a few old tops and panties and bras as well. We took it as a sign that maybe it was time to stop goofing around. Bella sighed and lamented that she had no idea how to do laundry and I told her not to worry. I was well practiced at it and I would gladly accept the responsibility if she would help me with other chores.

She sighed at that as well but she didn't complain too much as we spent the day vacuuming and dusting and tidying up. We did it all naked and I kept shooting her smirks and offering her flirty encouragement, swinging my hips as I pushed the vacuum over the carpet. She was scrubbing the kitchen floor, on her hands and knees in nothing but rubbergloves, and she kept smiling and looking up. The constant teasing managed to keep her spirits up and she quipped that she could use a carpet cleaning as well, referring, naturally, to her vagina. I told her to finish up as quickly as possible and I would clean her carpet all night long and she giggled and redoubled her efforts on the kitchen floor.

The process took much longer than either of us had anticipated, however, and it was dark by the time we were done. By now we had finally donned some clothes. Bella had put on some sweatpants and a sweatshirt to keep her skin from all the chemicals she had been cleaning with and I had hopped into a pair of jeans and a tanktop so that I could take out the trash. The dumpsters were at the far end of the building.

I had two full garbage bags and I left out the front door. The front of the apartment block looked out on the River Thames. Our apartment was on the upperfloor and there was a balcony that ran along the doors. It was dark by now and the river was aglitter with liquid yellow light from the streetlamps on the banks.

As I was closing the door I noticed Leah out here. She was standing at the rail and enjoying a small joint while gazing across the cityscape. A haze of blue smoke hung around her head in the windless night air and she gave me a smile when she saw me.

"Howdy, neighbour," she said.

I smiled as well and took a moment to dawdle. "Good evening, Leah."

Leah put the joint in her mouth and took a tiny toke and then she coughed once and offered the joint to me.

"Care for a hit?" she asked.

I transferred the trashbags to one hand. "Don't mind if I do."

Leah grinned as I took the joint and touched it to my lips. She tossed her chin at the trashbags I was carrying.

"Taking out the trash, huh?" she asked.

I nodded through the smoke. "Apparently."

"Bella isn't in that bag, is she?"

I smiled and inhaled and blew the smoke out again in an elegant stream that hung in the darkness above.

"Funny," I said.

Leah chuckled and took the joint back. I set the trashbags down and leaned on the rail beside her. We were silent for a moment, looking down at the river. Sleek and black like a river of ink. Leah took another hit and coughed once more.

"Kate's got a date tonight," she said. "I'm all on my own."

"A date?"

"Yeah. Some guy she met. She's such a flirt. Our relationship is fairly open. I'm seeing someone too. Guy named Jake."

I smirked at her. "A guy, hm?"

Leah chuckled and shrugged. "We like guys, what can I say?"

I rolled my eyes playfully and took the joint from her. Leah snorted and rolled her eyes as well.

"Kate and I get all the pussy we need from each other," she said. "We like a little variety."

I toked on the joint, once, twice, and then I dropped it to the floor of the balcony. It was little more than a nub. I was wearing a pair of sneakers, unlaced and no socks, and I crushed out the joint with the ball of my foot.

"Pity," I said. "I was going to invite you inside for a while, but since you're so uninterested in pussy…"

I gave a mild shrug. She grinned and changed her tune.

"Well, I didn't say that," she said.

I arched a red brow. "Didn't you?"

Leah laughed and shook her head and turned back to the door to her apartment. "I'll go get the bong," she said. "At the very least we can get high together, right?"

I laughed and grabbed up the trashbags and continued down the balcony.

The dumpsters were around the side of the building, down some stairs, and I had to lift the lid in order to sling the bags in. After that I let the lids drop and frowned at the feeling of germs on my fingers. Settling down is all fun and romantic until you have to take out the trash, I guess. But oh well. Nothing that a bit of soap and water wouldn't fix. I sighed and wiped my hands on my jeans and continued back up the stairs.

By the time I got back to the apartment I found Leah and Bella lounging on the couch. There was already a pleasant haze of smoke in the room and the TV was still running in the background. Bella was holding a lighter to the bowl and she took a long hit as I came in and almost choked when she tried to greet me at the same time. I laughed and went passed them into the kitchen and washed my hands at the sink and she was still coughing when I came back.

I took the bong from her and she finally calmed and squinted up at me.

"Hi, Vicky," she said.

I had only been gone for about five minutes but I smiled as I struck the lighter. "Stoned already, hm?"

"Just a little bit."

I touched the lighter to the bowl and inhaled deeply, the smoke rising directly into my head and seeping among the coils of my brain. It made me smile. Sometimes it was a burden not being able to eat or drink but at least we would always have this. Bella and I ought to experiment more with drugs. I once tried opium a century ago and it was quite exquisite.

I passed the bong to Leah and then I sat down on the couch beside Bella. It was a tight fit with all three of us but I'm sure we didn't mind. Bella certainly didn't. She threw a leg over mine and wrapped her arms around me and started snuggling with a happy moan. Leah took a hit, blew the smoke across the room, and sighed with the bong in her lap.

"So you guys found a job, yet?" she asked.

I shook my head and cuddled my stoned little mate. "Not yet. Irena set us up with an expense account for the time being. We still need to find some work for the summer. Hopefully we can pay for our tuition ourselves."

Bella unlatched herself from me and turned a grin to Leah. "I'm actually kind of excited about it," she said. "College is supposed to be fun, right?"

Leah nodded and gave Bella the bong. "I had a blast."

"Lots of lezzing out?"

"Just once. Remember I told you about it? That girl Chrissy?"

Bella was taking a hit and at first she frowned puzzledly through the smoke. Then she remembered and she grinned and laughed with little gusts of smoke erupting from her nose and mouth like a demon.

"Oh, yeah," she said. "That girl from the Halloween party back in Seattle. The girl that I…"

"…that you choked to death in my bedroom?"

Bella grinned and giggled again. "Yeah, her. She was dressed as a nurse. She had great tits. Gosh, it's been so long since I've strangled someone. Strangulation is so fun. Hey, you guys wanna go out and strangle someone?"

Bella's dark and dilated eyes had lit up with excitement. I laughed and took the bong from her.

"Maybe some other time, baby," I told her.

Leah smiled and steered the conversation back to less psychotic subjects. "You guys are gonna love college, though. College girls are the most experimental kind of girls there are. No family, no responsibilities, parties every weekend. You gonna stay in the dorms or stay here?"

"Not sure yet," I said.

"Depends on Alice," Bella added. I had the bong in my lap, like a tall glass shaft, and she was leaning to take a hit from a it in curious simulation of fellatio. Bella didn't seem to notice but it turned me on a little and I laughed as she rose up again and turned to Leah. "Hey, are you guys going to prom? You and Kate?"

Leah had no idea what she was talking about. "Prom? What prom?"

"Alice's prom. She's graduating next week."

"I don't think they call it prom here."

Bella turned to me, the native Englishwoman, for clarification. I was taking a hit from the bong and I wasn't precisely sure. It had been a long time since I lived her.

"I think it's just called summer ball, baby," I told her.

Bella laughed and took the bong. "Summer? This is summer? It was fucking raining today."

Leah laughed as well. "Welcome to the UK."

Bella was taking a hit from the bong, grinning, and then she leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes and blew the smoke upward. After a while she opened her eyes again and rolled her head toward Leah.

"She's graduating next week," she said. "Alice. She wants me to be her date for prom."

"I thought she already had a girlfriend? Some chick called Rachel?"

"Oh, she's dead."

"When did that happen?"

"When we went to visit. We had her for dessert."

Leah laughed and shook her head. Bella had turned her attention to my breasts and she was lifting my top over them so that she could stroke the globes and lick at the nipples. I petted Bella's hair and smiled at Leah to tell her more about our dinner party the other night.

"The girl was delicious," I said. "Carmen had drugged the dinner and after she was passed out they took off her clothes and bathed her. We fed from her while she was still unconscious. I had the thigh."

Bella chuckled into my chest. "And I had the breast," she murmured with her lips around my nipple. "I love the breast…"

Leah laughed and took the bong from where it was almost falling out of Bella's lap.

"You guys are crazy," she said as she struck the lighter.

Bella continued fondling my breasts for a while. A short silence ensued where the only sounds were the gurgle of the bong and the drone of the TV and a little light sucking. I was smiling down at Bella, watching her lick at me so affectionately, but then Bella stopped and rose up and turned to Leah.

"They're having the prom at Irena's mansion," she said. "Alice told everyone Irena is her aunt."

Leah was staring at the TV. "Well, I doubt I'll be going. I'm too old for that shit."

"So is Vicky, but she's still coming."

Leah looked at me with an arched brow. "You are?"

I sighed and nodded as I lowered my top over my wet breasts. "Bella has commanded me, yes."

Bella grinned at that and turned back to Leah. "You gotta come too, Leah. No one will notice if you don't even go to the school. You and Kate can pass as teenagers. Tanya and Jane are gonna be there as well. Everyone is."

Leah was still reluctant. "I don't know."

Bella took one of her hands and squeezed it imploringly. "Come on, it'll be the perfect way to get the whole coven together again. Irena promised us a banquet. You know what she keeps in her cellar, right?"

Leah smiled at that, finally becoming tempted. She opened her mouth to answer but then her phone buzzed. She knew it was probably Kate and she pulled her hand away from Bella's to fish in her jean's pocket for the phone. It was a text and she grinned as she read it.

"It's Kate," she said. "She wants to bring her boyfriend home."

Bella screwed up her face. "Eww."

Leah rolled her eyes. Bella was wiping her hands on her pants as if she regreted even touching the bi-thing on the couch beside her.

Another text came through and Leah grinned at that one as well.

"If she wants privacy you could always spend the night here," I suggested.

Leah was typing with her thumbs. "She doesn't want privacy, she wants a threeway," she said. Then she stopped typing and looked up. "Hey, you guys want in on this? We could make it a fiveway."

Bella snorted disgustingly. "I'd rather let Jane fuck me with a fire poker, and no; that's not an exaggeration."

Leah laughed and finished up typing her message and then hit send. Then she sighed and stood up and shoved her phone back in her pocket.

"Well," she said. "I better get going."

I smirked at her. "I guess you are uninterested in pussy, after all."

"That's what I got Kate for," she said with a grin. "I'll see you guys tomorrow."

Bella took the bong from the coffeetable. "Can we borrow the bong?"

Leah was already at the front door and threw a smirk back at us. "Sure, just bring it back over sometime. And if you change your mind about the fiveway…"

"We won't, trust me."

Leah laughed and went out the door and closed it again.

I was smiling and pleasantly high and part of me was glad Leah had to leave. I wasn't much in the mood for company. All I really wanted tonight was Bella. I drew her toward me with an arm around her shoulders and she snuggled there as we watched the TV in silence. I didn't even know what show it was but it didn't matter. I closed my eyes and inhaled her scent. It was mingled with the smell of marijuana and shampoo and it was more heady to me than any drug.

I smiled to myself and heaved another sigh.

"Mmm," I murmured. "This is nice, isn't it?"

Bella was resting her head on my shoulder. "What is?"

"This," I said. "No hotel room. No running from police. Just me and you and all our friends close by."

She gave a little murmur in agreement.

"Yeah," she whispered.

I cuddled her a little more while the TV droned in the background. My eyes were still closed and after a while I opened them and reached for the remote and switched off the TV.

"Want to go to bed?" I asked her.

Bella lifted her head and smiled at me. "Mm."

I gave her a kiss and together we rose from the couch and headed toward the bathroom.

Bella bought the bong with her but there was only a hit or two left in the bottom of the bowl. We took one each and laid the bong in the sink and began to take our clothes off. I had no panties under my jeans and I was already very turned on. We showered together, the way we always did, and then we went back to the bedroom with damp hair and fresh bodies. Bella grinned as she watched me crawl onto the bed and open my legs. I smiled at her and stroked my slit teasingly to beckon her forward and finally she crawled into the bed and lowered her head and placed a long lick across my vagina.

It had been a long day of chores and laundry and the orgasm was sweet and filled with release. It made me smile as my back arched up and chuckle as I sank back down. Bella kept licking for me a while, smiling into my vagina, and I told her I would take care of her in just a minute. But her tongue felt so good that I just continued to lay there with my legs open and soon my chest was heaving once more, up and down, until I laughed and orgasmed a second time. Bella chuckled into my vagina, letting me feel the hum, and by now she had settled down there to continue licking indefinitely.

I told her to stop but secretly I wanted her to keep going. It just felt so good. I could feel the long licks of her tongue all across my wetness and soon I was orgasming a third time. Then a forth. Each time with gasps of pleasure and a radiant smile on my face. Bella smiled up at me, curled up down there with her face on my thigh for a pillow, and then she lowered her eyes and kept licking and licking and licking. I was gripping one of my own breasts, holding it for comfort perhaps, and my fingernails dug into the mound as I orgasmed again. Bella didn't stop. She only smiled and spread my netherlips with her fingers and licked even deeper. Deep into my core. I orgasmed for her again and by now I wasn't smiling anymore. The expression on my face was almost in pain. Pain from how much I loved her. From how swollen my heart was. As if it was about to burst out of my chest. Bella had stopped smiling as well by now and she was kissing at my netherlips tenderly and nibbling at them and she licked at them little more and more again until finally she bought me to one last climax that made me shudder and gasp and toss my head like a woman in the throes of some incredible dream.

Afterwards I was laying there and panting and still promising to take care of her in just a moment. She ignored me with a smile and gave me one last kiss down there before crawling to my side. The only light in the room was the bedside lamp and I smiled as she snuggled up to me. She had woven a leg around mine and I could feel the wet patch of her vagina against my thigh. I laughed at the sensation and brushed my thumb over her smudged lips.

"I'm sorry, my love," I said. "I promised to take care of you if you were a good girl with the chores today, but so far I've been very selfish."

Bella grinned at me. "It's alright. I hate housework but I love cleaning carpets. Especially yours…"

I smiled as her lips pressed onto mine. A deep satisfaction was glowing in my chest and I liked the feeling very much. It was nice to be doted upon every now and then.

Bella broke the kiss and looked at me.

"Vicky?" she asked.

I smiled at her. "Mm?"

"How long do you think we'll stay in London?"

I sighed and shrugged a naked shoulder. "I'm not sure. But the next time we leave it'll be as a coven. With all the others."

"Yeah," she said with a nod.

I smiled and drew her to my shoulder for her to rest her head there.

"Are you looking forward to the prom?" I asked her. "Or whatever it's called?"

I felt her nod and smile into my shoulder. "Mmhm. It's pretty awesome, isn't it? I don't even have to graduate and I still get a prom."

"You're a very lucky girl."

"Yeah," she said in a whisper. "I am."

I smiled at that and held her for a while. I was stroking her back and enjoying the smoothness of it. The silkiness. I could feel her wetness against my thigh and I was beginning to become hungry for it. I had been on my back long enough for one night.

"Vicky?" her voice murmured again.

"Yes, baby?"

Bella raised up a little and smiled at me. "I love you."

I smiled back and cupped her face. "I love you too."

Our lips came together in a kiss and then I rolled her onto her back and slid downward between her thighs.

AN: This one was mostly just a cooldown and a transition, but I liked it. It was a nice change of pace. It was also a nice snap shot of how Bella and Vicky will be living for a while. Not sure how much longer the story is gonna be, but I want it to end naturally. Sometime after the prom. All Twilight fanfics require a prom, lol.

Okay, hoped you liked it. New chapter soon. :)
