Felicity Ch. 18

But only sort of, half of the city council had already volunteered to perform and had been rehearsing. Jana and Inga had been giving pole-dancing classes for weeks.

Their friend Cindy had a similar club in the city and was helping with the dancers and with the volunteer list. She was in fact dancing that Thursday night with Helen.

Cindy was also spending the week at Helen and Roger at their home. All expected Helen to return to recreational pussy that night. Helen and Cindy had been an on and off item for years.

Cindy's own club had closed several months before when it lost its lease. Her husband was in jail on tax evasion charges. Their home had a tax lien on it.

Cindy needed Helen at that juncture in her life. Helen came through for her in a lot bigger ways than she had hoped. Cindy never left Felicity.

Many of Cindy's regular volunteer dancers and many of her customers were coming down that week. The Seafoam was booked solid for that Thursday night too.

All of the ladies present had volunteered to take turns on the stage except for Mo and Janie. Mo said she did not have the tits for it. Marie would soon talk her into it.

The debut of Ladies Only Night at Jana's Club was four days away.

Only ten women were going to dance each Thursday, first with a partner, then all together.

Although Jana and her partner Inga were the only ones that would dance on each occasion it would be six weeks before the last one on the list of volunteers would get her turn. Jana had really worried the she would have a shortage of dancers and would need to hire them but with Cindy's help there was no need. Jana began to think her gamble was going to work.

"What delayed your opening Jana? I though this place was ready," Vicky asked.

"There is supposed to be a clear barrier right here between the stage and the floor. It will not be delivered and installed until tomorrow. I absolutely need to have it for Melody's concert and Lady's Thursdays. I need to protect my artists, especially Thursday. Some of the women coming in are very bold."

"It wont help too much this Thursday. Cindy and I will already be behind the barrier," Helen quipped.

The women's laughter was in full force and it was a while before anyone heard Roger yelling that he needed a target.

Dance music suddenly filled the room and Jana jumped on the stage saying, "This is so cool," and began to dance across the stage. Suddenly a spotlight settled on her and followed her every move.

The ladies heard Roger say, "OK, the second one."

Helen jumped on the stage and started to dance around on her own and with Jana. A spotlight settled on her and followed even when Jana and Helen's paths intersected.

"Is that thing completely automatic? Mo asked Helen.

"Pretty much. It can be run from the DJ console. Roger is testing unit number 001," Helen said.

"What happens if there are three people on the stage?" Cindy asked.

"I don't know, get up here and let's find out," Helen answered.

Cindy got on stage and they were all surprised when they saw the spotlight following the nearest dancer to her expand and cover her too. That brought Lucy to the stage and they saw the spotlights expand and contract as they kept up with the dancers but noticed that if Cindy or Lucy was more than five feet away from Jana or Helen the spots contracted back to their original target.

"That really is cool," Vicky said as she joined the dancers on stage.

All of the ladies were soon dancing on the stage and taking turns stealing the spotlight, even Mo.

Juanita pulled Janie up to the stage and coaxed her into dancing with her. Janie could dance. In fact of all the girls the only one with a better undulating body move was Jana.

"OK, I quit. The deaf girl is a better dancer than me," Lucy said and signed.

Janie laughed and signed that her Mom had been dancing with her since she could stand up. "I am just imitating what she does."

Juanita kissed her daughter and said, "You are dancing with me when it's my turn."

Everyone noticed that Janie did not say no.

The music stopped and Roger emerged from the DJ booth.

"Where are the rest of the guys?" Helen asked him as he stepped onto the stage.

"Downstairs drinking up all of Sam's beer before he ever gets his place open tomorrow. We will be there when you get done.

By the way," he said with a mischievous grin, "Juanita found a very good wine that she is hiding from us for some reason. Maybe you can run an inquisition until she talks."

"Thanks, we will do that. She will never expect the Spanish Inquisition," Helen said as she kissed her husband bye.

Janice, Wendy and Mo moved towards Juanita with menacing looks. "Don't make us use the comfy chair on you," Wendy said.

"No, anything but that. I'll talk," Juanita said with imperfect fear in her eyes.

"OK. Talk,' Janice ordered.

Juanita said, "Well, did you know that Mozart had like twenty-seven first names and not one of them was Amadeus?"

Juanita had five steps on them before they saw the non-sequitur for the ploy it was. She easily beat them to The Tiki Grill and quickly ran behind Sam before the murderous women could catch her.

Sam saw the commotion and asked Juanita, "What have you done now?"

Wendy seemed to have assumed leadership of the lynch mob and told him, "She has special wines and will not share."

Sam said, "Well, she discovered them and I guess she is in charge of them and so I can't tell you that they are behind the bar at the far end on the middle shelf."

Juanita was helpless to stop the stampede and just glared at Sam in sham fury. He kissed her and whispered something to her. She grinned and gave him a big kiss.

Juanita walked behind the bar and picked up the wine bottle opener, she then casually strolled by the women as she twirled it on her finger.

Another chase began that had some of the men concerned for the safety of their beers. Juanita was soon cornered, three bottles were opened and the ladies went outside to the covered deck and sat on the floor.

It took all of them a long while to stop giggling and eventually Juanita confessed that she had gotten the batch they were drinking at the local grocery store.

"Sam bought all they had. The distributor has added us to his client list and since these bottles are already almost empty it can't be too soon."

Giggles were the prevailing sound among them for many minutes. Squeals were added when Maggie and Karen came flying in to smother their mother Mo and Marie with kisses.

They all loved being with each other and were very comfortable with each other. The older women knew all of each other's secrets and the younger set knew all of the each other's secrets and most of the secrets of the older group.

Several times they had to lower their voices to near whispers as tourists were walking by. Secrets everyone already knew were the subject of conversation.

The biggest secret they all knew but did not need to talk about was that they very much loved each other. On the large deck they were clustered together in a small group, everyone's body was in contact with at least two others. Vicky, Karen and Maggie shared Mo and Marie's laps. Jana and Lucy leaned close to their mother; Helen sat on Wendy's lap and Cindy sat on hers. Juanita and Janie completed the circle. Quick darting kisses among all of them were common.

If they had looked past each other they would have seen wistful smiles from all the women that walked by.

"Friends and family," a woman said about them to her grown daughter as she reached for her girl's hand for the first time in many years.

The subjects of one of the stories the women were talking about had just walked by. "Speaking of the devils, Allison and Sophie are going into the Seafoam. I still can't believe Allison talked Sophie into getting that tattoo on her ass," Marie said.

"A perfect replica of Allison's lips in the shade of her favorite lipstick," Mo added.

"Has anyone here not kissed it yet?" Juanita asked.

None of the younger set had.

"Oh. An age gap," Mo said.

"I did not know she would allow personal homage. I would love to kiss her ass," Helen said.

"Me too," Jana, Lucy, and Vicky said.

Sophie's beauty and her quiet and dignified manner had won her the love and admiration of all. That quiet and dignified manner also made getting a tattoo an incomprehensible event.

"I will fix you up," Mo promised.

"Mom, tell us your story about Mike," Vicky asked Marie.

"'There is nothing to tell, she catered my second open house, I thanked her and she left."

Everyone turned to look at Mo.

She said, "That is pretty much true. Of course that thanks included a kiss, or three or seven. Marie was only wearing a robe when she came into the kitchen and I lost sight of Mike for a minute until I noticed that she was inside Marie's robe.

I left the kitchen to accept the flower delivery and when I returned they were not there. I found them in the bedroom; they were both naked and had made a major mess of the beautifully presented master bed.

I reminded Marie she had guests coming and went to sit in the front porch. Just a couple of minutes later the first guest arrived, Alice. I welcomed her and mentioned that she would find Marie in her bedroom.

My sisters and their husbands and Sophie came in next and I showed them where I had hidden the single malt scotch. I then went to the bedroom and found that Marie was getting dressed but Mike already had Alice naked.

Mike stayed and seduced everyone she could before going home. We have no idea what she told Leila but Marie and I would be grateful if this secret does not get far. We are talking life and death here."

"So, Insatiable is not just a nickname for Mike," Vicky commented.

"No," her mother and Juanita said.

Mo added with a giggle, "The bed never had a chance to be made up. As the party in the living room and patio progressed so did the party on the bed."

A few minutes of silence passed while all the youngsters present wondered how they could have missed that part of the party. Each eventually decided that it most have been a seniors event.

Mo regained their focus by noting, "Look, George and Martha are going into The Seafoam too."

"And Rick and Mom," Helen added.

"Lucy, here comes James" Jana said.

James kissed his mother in law Janice and sister in law Jana then helped Lucy to her feet. Without word of explanation he took his wife's hand and led her to the Seafoam.

Sam, Jim, Ben, Robby, Jason, Mike, and Roger collected their respective spouses and led them to the Seafoam. Sam took Janie's hand and she followed too.

Wendy noted that Janie seemed to be the only one that was not surprised. Whatever it was she already knew. For the hundred and second time Wendy told herself she needed to learn to read lips.

Marie tugged Mo and Jana's hands and they followed the crowd too.

They were led to the small banquet room and were stunned to see vases with three red roses behind an envelope that had each woman's name on it.

Mo and Jana were a bit concerned that they had just barged in on a couple's event but Marie led them to a table that had their name on envelopes and a vase with roses for each.

"This is the lesbian table," she said with a giggle and a nod to Leslie and Beth who were already at the table. Mo saw that her name was coupled with Marie's. Someone had apparently proclaimed them a couple before Mo knew they were, most likely the woman holding her hand.

As they sat the ladies noted that the guest list just kept on expanding. Charlene, Lydia, Rhonda, and Shawna all came in holding their husbands hands. Inga came in and silently took her place beside a very surprised Jana. She had thought Inga was still going to be in The City that day.

Ruthie came in with Edie and Allen. She was welcomed with applause which Allen pretended was for him. That won him loud butt slaps from Ruthie and Edie.

When Bernie escorted Bernice in most of the young ladies left their seat to greet her with a hug. Before they sat Charles and Shirley came in and most of the girls hugged her too. Reverend Liam and Betty walked in and many ladies ran to them to kiss them. Pedro and Pepita got the same reception.

As the banquet room filled up the ladies were at first too stunned to demand an explanation but as their curiosity peaked Harry stood and tapped his glass for attention.

He began, "During the last many months we have seen many changes in our town. The men and the women in this room have been involved in crisis after crisis but we now all see that we have exited the tunnel. We are in the sunlight."

Ben continued, "The Seafoam annex, Felicity Place, and Felicity Music are complete and in business. The shops, offices, and restaurants that complete Felicity Center are done. Jana's place will be ready tomorrow. The new police station was dedicated a month ago, the new fire station two weeks ago. Allison's Toyota dealership is open for business.

A new middle school and two new elementary schools will be ready this fall. Every building downtown has a business in it. We have witnessed the re-birth of Felicity. We are lucky to be surrounded by good people helping make our town special."

Applause and cheers followed that last statement.

Sam stood and continued, "One thing we have agreed on from the beginning has been that each of our wives and partners have not only stood by our sides but also have pitched in and helped our causes immensely. We are very grateful and I know I speak for every husband and partner here when I say, I love you baby."

Husbands and partners kissed their lovers. Many of the women had tears falling down their cheeks.

Jim stood and continued, "It is mid June, Valentines Day is well past, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas are too far off. So we have proclaimed this day a Felicity Celebration Day and "I Could Not Love You More Day." Please accept our gifts."

Each woman was handed the envelope with their name and urged to open it. Mo's hand was trembling when Marie handed one to her. Jana was just as jittery when Inga handed her one.

Each envelope had the tickets and vouchers for a one-week honeymoon stay for two at a luxury all-inclusive resort near Negril in Jamaica. Pandemonium ensued as each woman tried to overcome her lover with kisses.

When things calmed down a bit Martin, the resorts events manager, gave a signal and the staff began to serve a turkey and dressing meal with all the fixing's complete with individual heart shaped strawberry cream pies. For a while each bite the men took was delayed or interrupted by a wild kiss. Few noticed that as the meal was served the flowers and envelopes had been picked up.

Dinner settled into a loved filled murmur of happiness.

It was a love-in, until the first pie flew. As usual it was Allison that threw the first pitch and as usual it was big sister Martha that caught it, right on her boobs.

Few of the men were surprised and all managed to get out of the room unscathed. Marie was very proud and happy to see that Vicky was one of the first to fire a missile even though it had been aimed at her.

"My shy, mousy little girl is long gone," she thought with a smile. Her time to muse ended abruptly when Wendy got her right on the kisser with a pie.

Martin remembered his most dangerous duty and fetched two carts that were loaded with small pies and wheeled them to the center of the room. He managed to get out of the way of the stampeding women but as he turned he was confronted by a smiling Janie who promptly smushed a pie on the crotch of his slacks then swiftly ran in the direction of his office. Martin immediately delegated authority and chased after her. A major announcement had been made and a brief truce interrupted the war to give them enthusiastic applause.

The truce was broken when Vicky, Janice, Juanita and Mo's sisters and daughters carpet-bombed Mo and Marie. The two understood and promptly smushed a pie inside the others' shorts. A tradition had been observed.

"Don't move around too much I want to eat that pie," Marie said to Mo as the pies continued to fly all around them.

Mo pulled out the elastic waistband of her shorts and gazed at her strawberry cream covered pussy and asked, "Which pie are you talking about?"

As Marie laughed Mo inserted a pie down the back of her lovers shorts and smushed it into her ass. Marie squealed until Mo covered her lips with her own. The two pink snow women were soon seen walking gingerly towards the parking lot.

No one had noticed that Jana and Inga had vanished before the first pie flew. Inga had just told Jana she had a new job and that the job was in Felicity. She had spent the morning moving what few things she still had in her apartment in The City into Jana's house. Inga would be opening Felicity's first women's gym and spa in the history of the town. Jana had decided that the devouring could not wait.

No one noticed that Leslie and Beth left as dinner was being served. Their relationship had just ended.

After all of the extensive and delicious ammunition had been exhausted the pie-covered chief of police restored calm and a moving love-fest ensued as the women searched for their lily livered, yellow-bellied men.

On their way out the tourists gaped at them then smiled. One lady quipped that she wanted to be invited to the next whatever it was. Wendy and Janice went to the woman and hugged her thereby covering her with pink cream pie.

She said, "Thanks. We have not even checked in and I already love this place."

"How long are you staying in Felicity? Janice asked her.

"A week. My daughter and I came here to get laid."

"Mother!"

The girl turned to Janice and said, "I am sorry, she is at an awkward age. I will keep her out of the public eye the best I can. We are here because she was so surprised I actually graduated from college that she got me a ticket to the Melody concert. She could only get one unfortunately so the town will be unprotected during that time."

"Valedictorian," the proud mother said.

The two were very much alike from the closely cropped black hair, the horned rimmed glasses, and nice tits. The mother was maybe in her late thirties, ten pounds heavier and an inch taller than the daughter who did not look like she was old enough to have a college degree. They were the kind of women nobody notices until they smiled, or takes a second look at their tits. Wendy and Janice noticed both immediately.

Wendy followed a hunch and asked the mother, "About getting laid, does it much matter to you the gender of your layer?" The woman's eyes widened and in a soft voice as if trying to keep her daughter from hearing said, "No."

Her daughter however looked like that was the answer she had expected.

Wendy said, "I work in the jewelry shop just on the other side of that art gallery."

Janice said, "I am there often. Come see us."

Wendy and Juanita each gave the woman a soft kiss on the lips and her daughter a soft kiss on the cheek.

As usual Janice and Wendy held hands as they walked out. The mother and daughter reached for the other's hand and walked towards check-in with big smiles on their faces

The women found the men at Sam's and were welcomed with moist towels and champagne. Their flowers and travel vouchers were there, safe and sound.

Ten minutes later the ladies not so gently placed a hand on their respective husband's groin. The men understood the not so veiled threat and were easily convinced that they needed to go home and take a nap.

Somehow it was several hours before any of them got any rest.

They needed to rest since they were hosting the first ever Felicity Celebration Festival that night.

The two blocks from Felicity Music to the resort were cordoned off and a street party for the entire town took place sponsored by the new businesses of Felicity Center. A rock band called Erato played in the median surrounded by booths. People were dancing in the boulevard.
