Stolen Moments Ch. 01

Nicole had spent the night a few times, but this was only the second time she was spending the weekend at Cynthia's. Today would be the first time, Nicole would meet the neighbors and their families. It was going to be interesting. Cynthia's friends and relatives all knew about Cynthia and Nicole, so she wasn't living in the closet by any means. Cynthia was bi-sexual, like Nicole, although Nicole suspected that Cynthia was forever done with men. Either way, Cynthia was out to everyone she knew and she was happy. Her neighbors however hadn't gotten a chance to know her well, so they had no idea.

Today would be a new social situation for Cynthia, Nicole and Jason. Nicole suspected that Cynthia would introduce them as friends and wait for another time (not a kid's pool party) to let their parents know about her relationship with Nicole. It was a delicate balancing act, particularly since Jason was just making friends. The fact that kids were present today, also made it a little stickier.

Nicole had just finished putting on her one-piece bathing suit and tying it up around her neck, when she felt arms circle her mid-section. Cynthia nuzzled her neck and kissed her lightly.

"Hey. I like that on you." She paused and stepped back. "It's very, ummmm, age-appropriate."

"Bitch."

Cynthia's eyes danced as she looked at her lover and the bathing suit she'd picked out. "No, it's sensible. There's the word I'm looking for, sensible. It certainly covers all the good parts and leaves everything to the imagination."

"Keep it up, honey." Nicole replied.

"I think I remember that bathing suit from the Miss America pageant. In 1960."

"That's it." Nicole glared at her lover. "You are not getting any tonight or maybe forever."

Cynthia laughed. She changed into her own bathing suit. It wasn't much better, in Nicole's opinion, although a potato sack would look good on Cynthia. Nicole and Cynthia both slipped on some shorts over their bathing suits and Nicole slipped on a t-shirt.

"Why the shirt?" Cynthia asked.

"Boobs honey. You said it's a family show and I don't think 'The Twins' need to be on display." Nicole replied quickly. "They don't need any more attention, especially from the neighbors."

Nicole and Cynthia affectionately called Nicole's breasts, the Twins or The Girls. Cynthia winked at Nicole. "I like your twins."

"Do you really?" Nicole asked seriously.

Cynthia nodded. "Absolutely."

"Hmmm. That's too bad. I guess you're going to miss them aren't you?" Nicole delivered her lines with loads of sarcasm, topped with a light dusting of venom. "I mean they're not exactly age-appropriate, are they? Honestly, who wants to see boobs when they're covered by such a 'sensible' swimming suit?"

"Oh shit." Cynthia rolled her eyes. "There's that temper. Watch out folks, Hurricane Nicole is approaching fast."

Nicole glared at Cynthia for a moment, before leaving the bathroom. Cynthia slapped her ass, as she passed. Nicole wasn't upset. She loved to tease and play with Cynthia. Cyn loved it as well.

A few minutes and several coats of sunscreen later, everyone was ready to go. Nicole grabbed some Oreo cookies and two bags of chips. They were greeted at the door by Greg and Nicole finally got to meet him. He seemed nice. Skinny, not all that attractive, but he seemed like a nice guy.

Jason pulled Cynthia outside, while Nicole dropped off the food in the kitchen. Greg met Nicole in the kitchen.

"Hi. What can I get you to drink?" He asked.

"Water is fine." Nicole replied. Greg handed her a bottle of water. "Thank you."

Greg smiled and leaned up against the counter. "You're welcome. I'm glad Jason could come over. He's a new addition to the neighborhood, but he's already Mr. Popular."

"It was nice of you to invite him over, Greg." Nicole sipped her water. "It's important for kids to have friends and I don't know any kid who doesn't like a swimming pool."

Greg laughed. "That's for sure." He finished his beer tossed it into the trash and then retrieved another one.

No judgments Nicole.

Nick and Nicole were always careful about drinking in front of their kids, but she knew a lot of parents felt differently. Cynthia didn't drink in front of Jason either. Greg apparently had no issues with drinking in front of his kids, and that was fine, but it was 11:00 am in the morning. Greg was starting on his second beer and Nicole had known him for all of 3 minutes.

A little early to be starting, isn't it neighbor.

"Why don't we head outside." Nicole suggested. "I want to check out this pool."

"Sounds good." Greg replied. He smiled widely and then motioned for Nicole lead the way.

Nicole, and just about every woman alive, pretty much agreed that chivalry was dead. Sure there was probably a time, when a guy held a door open for a woman just because he was a gentleman. Unfortunately, that tradition had evolved into a charade where a guy pretended to be chivalrous, just so he could check out a woman's ass as she walked in front of him.

Greg was no exception. Nicole caught him staring hard at her ass, in the reflection of a window, as they approached the patio door. When they reached the door, Greg quickly reached in front of her, brushing his chest against her shoulder and opened the door for her.

"Ladies first." He said with a small bow. Nicole walked through the doorway without responding and looked immediately for Cynthia.

It's just an ass, Greg. You're wife has one too, you lecherous fuck! Now I know what Cyn meant about creepy.

Cynthia was standing next to two other ladies, when Nicole stepped out onto the patio and into the Texas sun. It was hot already and the pool looked inviting. It was a standard, suburban swimming pool. It had a shallow end, a deep end and it was almost filled with toys and kids. Nicole dismissed Greg from her mind and focused on her girlfriend.

"Nicole." Cynthia said as she approached. "I want you to meet Allison and Corina." Nicole shook both of their hands and smiled warmly at them. "Allison is Greg's wife." Cynthia finished.

"You have a lovely home and a beautiful pool." Nicole said. And a creepy husband.

Allison beamed at the compliment. "Thank you. That's nice of you to say."

Corina was about to say something, when three kids descended upon them and began pelting the mothers with questions. It was several minutes, before the adults got to talk amongst themselves again.

Allison sighed and Corina laughed. "Kids."

"So how do you to know each other?" Corina asked.

Nicole didn't hear suspicion or a hidden suggestion in her question, so she looked over at Cynthia and smiled. "Why don't you tell them?"

Cynthia looked back at her. "Are you sure? You do a much better job at it."

"Well, ok." Nicole laughed. She looked at Allison and Corina. "Cynthia saved me."

"What?" Allison asked.

"It's a bit of a story, so buckle your seat belt." Nicole joked.

"My husband's business partner had a big function and he needed a date." Nicole paused. "I got shanghaied into being his date for the night."

Cynthia giggled and Nicole glared at her playfully.

"Anyway, we were at this club, after the business dinner, and I really wanted to dance. Unfortunately, my 'date'." Nicole made quotations in the air. "My date didn't want to dance, or couldn't dance, either way, I was stuck sitting on the couch while he conducted business. Jerk, left me completely alone."

Cynthia added quickly. "I saw her sitting all by herself."

"Right." Nicole glanced at Cynthia, before looking back over at Allison and Corina. "So there I am, all by my lonesome, completely ignored by my date for the night and counting the minutes before I could go home." Nicole took a sip of her water. "Well, who comes over?" She motioned at Cynthia. "Cynthia asked me if I wanted to dance. Normally, I would have said no, but I was upset that I was left alone and ignored by my date, so I said yes. A few seconds later, we were out on the dance floor dancing."

"She's a good dancer, by the way." Cynthia added.

"Whatever." Nicole replied quickly. "You're the ex-cheerleader. You have more rhythm in your pinkie than I do in my whole body."

Cynthia stuck her tongue out at Nicole, who responded by making a face. The girls all laughed loudly. The men at the party looked over, confused looks on their faces. When the girls finally calmed down, Nicole continued.

"Ok. Long story, short." She paused. "Cynthia and I danced for a few songs, then we spent a few minutes talking after we were done dancing. We had a lot in common and struck up a friendship that night." Nicole took a breath. "When Cynthia mentioned she was moving to Austin, I offered to come up and help her get acquainted with the city a little bit. I live in San Antonio, with my husband and two daughters." Nicole explained. "I was also born and raised in San Antonio, so I know the area pretty well."

"Ahhhhh." Corina and Allison said in unison.

"I saved her from a boring night." Cynthia said proudly.

"What a good friend you are." Corina said lightly. "So you were a cheerleader?"

Nicole couldn't resist. She added quickly, with false enthusiasm. "Yes. Cynthia was a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys."

"Seriously?" Allison asked.

"Yes." Cynthia admitted. She gave Nicole a quick glare, because she hated talking about it. "It was just for one season."

"I'm so jealous." Corina replied. "Did you get to meet the players?"

"Some." Cynthia acknowledged. "But you'd be surprised how little we socialized with the players. It's actually discouraged."

"Still that's pretty impressive." Allison acknowledged. "What do you do now?"

Cynthia smiled, happy to be on firmer ground. "I'm a pharmaceutical sales rep for a local company."

"Ooooh." Corina said quietly. "So you deal with doctors every day, meet any cute ones?"

"Yep." Cynthia said with a smile. "Lots of cute ones."

"Who's cute?" Greg asked, as he approached.

"Oh Honey." Allison said quickly. "We were just talking about an actor."

The girls all quickly agreed and murmured their assent. Greg gave Cynthia and Nicole a smile and stood next to his wife. "So are you girls going to get in the water?" He asked.

Cynthia picked up on his creepiness immediately. "No. I'm fine where I'm at. Thanks though."

"I'm good as well, Greg." Nicole said flatly.

"Suit yourselves." He said amiably and slipped off his T-shirt. Greg glanced back at Nicole, before jumping in the water.

Corina watched Greg take his shirt off. When he jumped into the water, she turned to Allison and whispered. "You are so lucky girl." Allison blushed and winked back at Corina.

Cynthia and Nicole's eyes met and they were thinking exactly the opposite of Corina. Greg was a legend in his own mind. Sure he was thin, but that didn't mean he had a good body. Thinning hair and pasty white skin weren't sexy to most women. Greg was firmly average in the attractiveness category, so unless he had gobs of money, he wasn't that great of a catch. He was also seriously creepy. Nicole and Cynthia put on their best plastic smiles and nodded along with Corina.

The pool party was a hit with the kids though and Jason had a great time. He was in and out of the water so much, Cynthia gave up on giving him a towel. He wasn't out of the water long enough to make it worthwhile, and after the third time drying off, the towel was soaked. Jason air dried for the rest of the of the pool party, which was fine with him.

Finally, after four long hours, for Nicole and Cynthia, and four short hours for Jason, they made their way back to Cynthia's house. Nicole and Cynthia each held one of Jason's hands as they walked across the street.

"Did you have fun Jason?" Nicole asked.

"Yea!" Jason said immediately. "It was great." He turned to Cynthia. "Mom, can we have a pool?"

"Maybe honey." Cynthia replied.

"Please mommy." Jason begged.

"We'll see honey." Cynthia replied. She winked at her son. "Who knows what Santa will bring you?"

Nicole squeezed his hand. "Oooh. You're mom's right, if you're a good boy all year, Santa might bring you a swimming pool."

"I'll be real good." Jason promised solemnly.

When they got in the house, Jason disappeared into his room. Nicole went to use the restroom. She met Cynthia when she walked back into the kitchen.

"Jason's laying on his bed, talking to Santa, and promising to be a good boy." Cynthia wiped her eyes. "He's so cute."

Nicole gently drew Cynthia into a hug and kissed her cheek. They held each other for a while, enjoying the closeness and intimacy of their bodies. Finally, Nicole pulled away from Cynthia. "Are you ok with my description of how we met?"

Cynthia laughed. "I'm fine with it. It was all true and it wasn't the right time to let them know I'm in love with you." She blushed and looked sheepishly at Nicole. "Thanks for saving me. I know I choked on that question."

Cynthia's voice started out light and humorous, but she ended on a serious note. Nicole looked at her for a brief moment, before pulling her close and kissing her passionately. Desire blossomed between them. Their hands roamed over each other's bodies.

"Wait, wait." Cynthia stepped back. "Jason is still awake and I don't want him to walk out and find us half-naked." Nicole thrust out her bottom lip, but nodded in agreement. "Besides, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Cynthia reached down and took hold of Nicole's hand. She guided Nicole to the couch and sat down next to her. Her face was pensive and serious.

"Honey?" Nicole asked concerned.

Cynthia squeezed Nicole's hands and their eyes locked. "Go away with me."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to take a vacation with you, Nikki. Just the two of us." She smiled hopefully. "No kids, no jobs, no husbands and no stress. Just us. Will you do that for me?"

Nicole found herself nodding immediately. She loved the idea of a vacation with Cynthia. Nick would have to agree of course, but he was usually pretty easy-going, and Nicole didn't think he'd refuse her. Jasmine and April might not understand at first, but she'd work with Nick to craft an explanation for her daughters. Nicole also sensed that this was important to Cynthia and she wanted to be there for her girlfriend.

Besides a vacation with this sexy woman, sounds like fun. A lot of fun.

Cynthia leaned back on the couch and pulled Nicole down on top of her. Nicole laid her head on Cynthia's chest. The sound of Cynthia's heartbeat echoed in Nicole's ear and she hugged her girlfriend tightly. Cynthia ran her fingers through Nicole's hair softly.

"When?" Nicole asked.

"Jasmine and April are going to summer camp in about a month aren't they?"

"Yes." Nicole nodded. She snuggled against Cynthia's body. "They go every year. It's sponsored by our church and the girls love it."

"Why don't we go while they're away? That way they won't miss you and you won't have to worry about them, because they'll be busy at camp."

Nicole raised herself off of Cynthia's chest. She narrowed her eyes at her girlfriend. "You've been planning this for a while, haven't you?"

A cute blush colored Cynthia's cheeks. She nodded shyly. "I spoke with Nick already. He's ok with you going away with me." She paused for second. "He wasn't comfortable with the idea at first, but we talked it through and he finally agreed."

"Wow. You've put a lot of effort into this vacation already." Nicole sat up completely and brushed her hair back. "This means a lot to you, doesn't it?"

"You mean a lot to me Nikki." Cynthia replied softly and then took Nicole's hands in hers. "I'd really like to spend more than a night or a weekend with my girlfriend." Cynthia sighed. "Stolen Moments, Nikki. Don't you ever feel like all we have are a few stolen moments together?"

Once again, Nicole found herself nodding in agreement. Cynthia had a point and the same thought had crossed Nicole's mind as well. When she was seeing Collin, she'd been able to spend several nights a week with him and a few weekends a month. Cynthia moved closer to Nicole, but they still weren't able to get more than a few nights, here and there, with one another. It wasn't enough time for either of them.

"I'd love to go on vacation with you Cyn." Nicole replied. She smiled at her girlfriend. "Y'know Cyn, if you accepted Collin and Nick's job offer, we could see each other almost daily. You could move to San Antonio and we could have a real relationship." Nicole reminded her lover.

"Nikki." Cynthia took a deep breath. "I'm not sure I could work for Nick and Collin. Although Nick did ask if I would go to lunch with him and Collin the next time I'm in San Antonio." Cynthia shrugged. "Since Nick agreed to let you go on this vacation, I feel obligated to at least meet with him and Collin. Besides, I get to pick the restaurant and they're paying, so it's not a bad deal."

"Ok. Ok. I won't bring it up again." Nicole raised her hands. She smiled at Cynthia. "So tell me more about our vacation."

Cynthia leaped over and hugged Nicole tightly. A few seconds later, Cynthia ended up laying on Nicole and kissing her softly. Nicole's hands found Cynthia's ass, which she found irresistible, and she squeezed firmly. "God, I love your body."

"I'm going to go check on Jason." Cynthia whispered softly. She slid off the couch.

Nicole got up as well. She walked quickly into the bedroom. She desperately hoped Jason had fallen asleep or was engrossed in movie. Lust filled her body. She needed Cynthia badly. Nicole pulled back the covers on the bed, before walking into the bathroom and quickly brushing her teeth. When she came back into the bedroom, a beautiful sight greeted her.

Cynthia was laying on the bed, completely naked, and smiling up at Nicole.

"Jason's taking nap. He's out like a light." She ran her hand over her hip slowly. "The bedroom door's locked."

Nicole's heart leaped in her chest and she returned Cynthia's smile. She didn't jump into bed right away though, she walked over to the chest of drawers.

"Uh. What are you doing?" Cynthia asked. "Get in this bed."

"Just wait." Nicole replied. "I want to do something for you." She fiddled with Cynthia's IPod and speaker and selected a specific playlist. The room immediately filled with soft, sensual music.

Cynthia groaned in frustration, but lay back patiently waiting for Nicole. She watched as Nicole slowly undressed and found the right set of lingerie. A slow smile crossed Cynthia's face as she watched Nicole slip on the sexy negligee. A pair of stripper heels appeared from somewhere and Nicole put them on as well.

"You are so beautiful and sexy and desirable and amazing." Cynthia breathed quietly.

A satisfied smile crossed Nicole's face as she finished dressing and cat-walked slowly over to the bed. Cynthia's bed was a four-post bed and Nicole used one of the posts as a stripper-pole. She started dancing sensually for her lover. Cynthia's mouth dropped open as Nicole danced for her.

As soon as Cynthia moved down to Austin, Nicole decided to take some pole-dancing classes. She told Nick they were for him, but truthfully, Nicole wanted to dance for Cynthia more than Nick. She loved the way Cynthia's eyes devoured her when they danced together in a club and she hoped she'd get the same reaction from Cynthia in their bedroom.

Cynthia's reaction was even better today. She made Nicole feel sexy and desirable.

As Nicole danced, Cynthia moved forward on the bed. She motioned Nicole to come closer. As soon as she was within arms-length, Cynthia let her hands roam over Nicole's lush body. Nikki had curves that Cynthia could only dream about and her lush, d-cup breasts captivated Cynthia. A flat stomach, curvy hips and round, shapely, amazing ass, were all part of the package with Nicole.
