     Lara's Story
     Part Five

By Chris


       She lost control of her will, placing her hands on those soft
hips. She stepped forward slowly closing the short distance between
them. She felt her hips touch Lara's hips then their breasts touched
sending a shock wave through Gena's body. She dropped her head down closing
her eyes just as Lara did. Gena slowly touched Lara's lips with her lips
and she heard a soft moan come from Lara. Gena pulled her lips back and she
saw Lara smiling at her, so she leaned in again letting their lips touch
again. This time she let her lips stay upon Lara's and she felt Lara's arms
go around her neck holding her in place. Lara's lips felt so soft and while
she could tell that while Lara was uncertain in her kissing, she was
quickly returning the kiss with some passion of her own.

       "You know you've got a perfectly good house to do that in." Gena
heard from a loud voice that could only be Mary's.

       Gena jumped back from Lara who was now trying to cover her body from
Mary who was kind enough to stare at Gena and not at the now bashful
Lara. "Mary, get out of here!" Gena told her strongly.

       "Sorry but Sheena needs to take a shower and get to work." Mary told
them before turning and leaving.

       "Sorry..." Gena said, stepping over to her bag and getting their
clean clothes out for them to change into.

       "It's okay," Lara said with more than a little disappointment in her
voice.

       They dressed quickly in clean clothes, putting their sweaty workout
clothes into the bag and then quickly cleaning up the shower for Sheena to
use. They went back out into Mary's office where Mary was sitting at her
desk and Sheena was sitting on one of the straight back chairs in front of
Mary's desk. Mary was still going over Sheena's workout telling her what
she had done wrong but also what she had improved upon.

       Gena was going to go on through the office and leave them be but
Mary stopped them after letting Sheena go so that she could take her
shower. "I'm sorry about interrupting you two but Sheena did have to get to
her job. I have told her that if she was ever late for work I would stop
training her so I had to..."

       "It's cool; we've got lots to do this afternoon anyway and needed to
get going."  Gena told her.

       "All the same I seem to have bad timing with you two don't I?" Mary
said giving them both a smile and a wink. Gena could see Lara blushing from
the corner of her eye and her own face felt a little warm.

       "Like I said it's cool. But we do need to get going." Gena said
wanting to get out of the office before Mary embarrassed them both even
more.

       "Well don't do anything I wouldn't do." Mary said with a laugh. "But
then again there isn't much I wouldn't do." She followed up, laughing even
louder.

       "Mary!" Gena said rushing Lara out the door before the poor girl
turned blood red.

       Mary just laughed and Gena shut the door on her and she heard Mary
laughing as they went across the room. "Sorry about that, Marry can be a
little course at times but she doesn't mean anything about it." Gena told
Lara.

       "I don't mind, I know she is just having fun and I know she isn't
trying to be mean to me." Lara told her.

       "Yea with Mary, if she isn't picking on you then that means she
doesn't like you."  Gena told her.

       "Well in that case I want her to pick on me, I like her and I want
her to like me."  Lara told her.

       "I think you are safe there, she likes you just fine." Gena said
opening the door from the gym and entering into the warm air of summer
morning.

       "Is she one of your girlfriends, someone you're close to?" Lara
asked her.

       "Mmmm..." Gena said mostly to herself as she thought that question
over. She knew that Lara was trying to find out more about her personal
life and she didn't mind telling her but she wasn't completely sure just
how she thought of Mary.

       It wasn't until they had started out of the parking lot that Gena
came up with an answer. "Yea I guess I would consider Mary one of my
girlfriends, she's someone I can talk to and not worry about anyone else
ever knowing what I said. Most of the people I work with and who work under
me go to the gym so if I go there pissed off at someone and they show up
later. I know what I said about them won't be retold. And she can do the
same with me so we are girlfriends in that way and I do own part of the gym
so we are partners too. But she isn't someone that I go to lunch with or
shopping with. Our interests don't run alike in that manner. So does that
answer your question?" Gena asked.

       "It does... Do you have any other girlfriends that you do things
with?" Lara asked somewhat shyly.

       "You're just full of questions today aren't you?" Gena asked giving
Lara a smile as she had expected a follow up question so it didn't surprise
her when it came.

       "I'm sorry I don't mean to get too personal but you know everything
about me and I don't know anything about you." Lara told her.

       Gena had to think about that for a moment before she realized that
it was true, she hadn't told Lara much about herself, everything that they
had talked about since they had met had been about Lara and her immediate
needs which were many but less so now. "I guess that you're right. You
should know more about me since we're now roommates." Gena told her and she
saw that Lara didn't like that she had just said roommates and not
something else as roommates implied that there wasn't anything going on
between them.

       "So to answer your question, right now there really isn't anyone
else that I would consider to be a girlfriend or a close friend. I have
been so busy with work and trying to fix up my house and get it into a
livable state that I haven't had much time just to enjoy myself. It took
all my time just doing those things." Gena told her.

       "Maybe you can have more free time now, I'm here to help you with
your house and even cook and clean for you." Lara said.

       "You know what I said about not needing a maid, I can clean and cook
too you know. You've got your own life to get started and I don't want you
to spend all your time just waiting on me hand and foot. You understand
me?" Gena told her.

       "I know but I really like doing those things and beside that will
give you more free time to do things." Lara said.

       "Like what?" Gena asked as she couldn't think of anything off the
top of her head that she really wanted to do other than work or making her
house look nice again, like it once did.

       Lara was silent for a moment causing Gena to glace over at her and
she saw some indecision in Lara's eyes. She was about to tell Lara to tell
her what was on her mind when Lara did just that. "Like maybe going to the
movies, or balloon shows, or shopping, you know things like that."

       Gena smiled as she saw just where Lara was going with this line of
thinking, "You wouldn't happen to want to accompany me on these things plus
maybe going to flea markets to find things for the house and going to the
big fair that Monroe has coming up in a month or so."

       "Could we go there, I've always wanted to go to that fair and ride
all the rides."  Lara said excitedly.

       Gena laughed, "Yea, I think we can find time to do that. It has been
years since I've gone and I guess it is about time that I go back."

       "Cool, we can look it up on the internet and see what all they will
be having there this year," Lara said even more excitedly.

       "But there's one thing you have to help me with first before we can
go to the fair." Gena told her.

       "What? It doesn't matter what, I'll do it." Lara said quickly.

       "You may want to change your mind once I tell you." Gena said
teasing her a bit.

       "Just what is it?" Lara said with just a little hesitation in her
voice now.

       "Every year the orphanage goes to the fair and I volunteer to help
with the little ones, so you got to help me." Gena told her seriously.

       "Oh that will be fun, I'd love to help." Lara said becoming excited
again.

       "You might not be saying that after chasing after about twenty kids
between four and seven." Gena said with a laugh. "They will flat out wear
you out."

       "Oh but it'll be fun, don't you enjoy doing it?" Lara asked.

       "It's the highlight of my year and I wouldn't want miss it for the
world, but still it takes me three days to recover." Gena said laughing
again thinking about all those kids and them wanting to see and do
everything.

       Lara laughed, "I didn't think about that but I do want to go with
you and help with all those kids. Just to see the excitement in their eyes
would be worth it."

       Gena looked over at Lara and she thought that she didn't have to
wait to see the kids eyes to see excitement like that, she only had to look
into Lara's eyes to see the same excitement. "Well you're now my official
number one helper." Gena told her with a laugh.

       Lara then spent the rest of the short drive over to the cellular
store that she went to when she needed something to do with her cell
phone. It was in the same town that Lara came from and where the three cops
were now in jail for helping Lara's father. But Gena didn't see anything
problem with bringing Lara here, since she really didn't know anyone and no
one knew her or even of her as Lara's part that she played was pretty much
kept out of the papers as they described Lara as an unknown source.

       Gena got lucky in that Marti, the woman that she normally dealt
with, was working that day so she waited for her to get free then let her
wait on them. As Lara looked over the phones, Gena found out what she would
have to do and what the cost would be. This turned out to be more
complicated than Gena had hoped it would be as there were several different
plans she could go with and since it had been several years since Gena had
upgraded her phone, she could also get a new phone. Gena could see Lara
looking over several of the more expensive smart phones and she knew most
of those were out of her price range. Gena hated to have to tell Lara that
they would be getting one of the cheap and hopefully free phones but then
Marti also saw which ones Lara was looking at and she came to the
rescue. There was one plan that the cellular phone company was about to
bring out and Marti let Gena have that deal which included two smart phones
that weren't the top of the line but also not at the bottom either. So that
was what they got and Lara could hardly contain her excitement.

       "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you..." Lara said with more than a
little excitement once they exited the store. Then she gave Gena a long hug
squeezing her tightly which Gena returned feeling nice to be hugged like
this. "And you got us internet and unlimited text too."

       "You'll have to thank Marti for that, she is the one who gave us a
great deal; otherwise you'd be getting a phone like my old phone." Gena
told her as Lara finally let go of her.

       "Well I thanked her too but mostly I thank you," Lara said smiling
as they got to Gena's car.

        "You're welcome but you're going to have to teach me how to you use
this damn thing; technology and I have never gotten along." Gena told her
with a laugh though she was being very serious about her and technology not
seeing eye to eye.

       "Oh it'll be easy; you'll have no problem learning this phone." Lara
assured her getting into the car and pulling out the book on the phone
before Gena could even get into the car.

       Gena tried to get a conversation going with Lara on the way home but
all she got was a "yea," or something like it as Lara would read in the
book then play with either her phone or Gena's phone. So Gena gave up, she
didn't even ask Lara what she wanted as she stopped at a fast food place on
the way out of town. She just got them both a burger and a coke. Lara
munched on hers as she continued to master the phones. Gena began to wonder
if she would get any painting out of Lara that day or would she have her
nose stuck in that book and working those phones.

       "So which room do you want to start on?" Gena asked Lara as they got
out of the car with Lara jugging the phones in her hands and still carrying
the bag with the accessories.

       Lara didn't reply until they entered the house and that is when she
finally looked up from the phones, "Mmmmm... let's start in the living room
since that it the first room people will see when they come into the
house." Lara then took the phones into the kitchen leaving them there and
coming back out.

       "That's a good idea, let's get some old sheets to cover up the
furniture and we'll be ready to start." Gena said leading Lara to the
closet in Lara's bedroom where she kept the old sheets and stuff that she
had planned to use when she got around to painting.

       They first moved the furniture to the center of the room and then
they taped off the base boards and the doors. They mixed the paint that
would go on the ceiling and that is where they started. Gena had to show
Lara how to apply the paint with the rollers but that didn't take long to
do as Lara caught on quickly. It was hard to apply paint while looking up
at the ceiling and they both ended up with more than a little paint on
their arms, faces, and hair. Lara had pinned her hair up so that it didn't
get in her way but that also turned out to be a great place for paint to
land when it fell. When the ceiling was completed, they took a break and
Gena turned off the air and opened the windows so that the fumes of the
paint wouldn't get to them. They were on a roll so they soon were back at
it determined to get the living room done. The walls went quickly but it
was when they had to put the rollers down and picked up the brushes to do
around the edges that the painting turned slower. They were both taking
their time and they were able to talk as they went along to make a boring
job a little more interesting.

       "Well I think we did a fine job." Gena said stretching her back as
they both looked over their handiwork.

       "It does look pretty good if I say so myself." Lara said as she
smiled looking at what she had helped to do.

       "Well let's clean up the brushes before we go and take our
showers. Then we'll find something to eat." Gena said as she began to put
the lid on the paint that they were using.

       "I think I got more paint on me than I did on the walls and
ceiling." Lara said as she began to pick at the paint on her arms.

       Gena looked over at her and laughed, "I believe that you did."

       "Hey don't laugh; you got a few spots on you too." Lara told her
pointing to a spot of paint on Gena's shoulder.

       "Only because I stepped too close to you," Gena told her.

       "Yea right, that spot is all your doing," Lara spat back at her
making Gena laugh.

       "Hey I'm sticking to my version," Gena told her as she grinned from
ear to ear.

       "And I'm sticking to mine!" Lara said seriously then she burst out
laughing.

       "No I think I did that all by myself, actually I got less on me than
I usually do."  Gena confessed.

       "Well I'll try to do better tomorrow." Lara said.

       "Oh don't worry about it, that's the half of the fun of painting,
getting it all over yourself." Gena told her as she went to her giving her
a hug.

       "I think I'll spend all night getting the paint off of me." Lara
told her.

       "Nah, it comes off skin pretty easy." Gena told her. "Why don't you
go ahead and jump in the shower as I clean these brushes and rollers, then
I'll take a shower. After supper we can move things back enough to get
around."

       "I can help you get them clean." Lara quickly offered and Gena knew
that Lara probably wanted to take another shower together but she figured
that one shared shower a day was enough. She needed to slow things down a
bit.

       "I'll get it, you go and get that paint off and by the time you're
done I'll be ready for my shower." Gena said turning Lara toward the
bathroom. "Now go, I want to get this paint you put on me off too." Then
she grinned at Lara who gave her a mean look then smiled as she went out of
the room.

       Gena watched her go wanting to join her in the shower but she knew
she was right to go slow. Lara had her life turned completely over in the
past couple of weeks and she needed time to get things right in her head
before something happened between them. And Gena wanted to be sure that any
feeling that Lara may hold for her were real and not a result of Gena being
the one who came to her rescue. Gena had to admit that it was a boast to
her ego to be someone's knight in shining armor but that didn't make for a
long term relationship and she knew that was what she wanted and needed
from Lara.

       Still Gena couldn't help but to think about Lara standing naked in
that shower as she cleaned up the brushes and rollers from the hose at the
back of the house. She did enjoy their shower together that morning and
enjoyed the kiss afterwards even more.  The kiss was cut short by Mary but
it was nice while it lasted. It was also something that she would like to
do more of; kissing was always something that she thought was so erotic and
always got her juices flowing, even thinking about it right then, she could
feel an itch coming that she couldn't scratch. So she got back to the job
of getting the brushes and rollers cleaned as well as the paint pans that
they had used.  Once she had them cleaned she put them on the back patio to
dry. She then went in putting a pot of coffee to brew as she thought about
what to fix or order out. She was leaning toward ordering out as she wasn't
in the mood of cooking anything but then again she had no clue what she
wanted to eat either, she just knew that she was hungry.

       As soon as the coffee was done, she poured herself a cup and put in
the cream and sugar before leaning against the counter trying to decide
what to do. She had about half of the cup drank when Lara came into the
kitchen. Her long black hair was still damp and ran down both her back and
front. Her face was pink from the hot shower and she looked beautiful in
her short nightgown.

       "The shower's all yours." Lara said giving Gena a shy smile.

       "Cool..." Gena replied. "Think about what you want to order out for
dinner and then we'll order it.

       "Okay, I'll figure something out for us to eat." Lara told her as
she went over to the pantry.

       "I meant for us to order out, I don't want you cooking.' Gena warned
her.

       "I know you don't," Lara said then she came over to where Gena was
standing, she pulled on her arm making Gena have to step away from the
counter. She then got behind of her and Gena wondered what she was up to
but before she could look back over her shoulder, she felt Lara's hands on
her hips and she was being propelled out of the room.

       "The kitchen's mine, now you go take your shower." Lara told
her. Gena was about to argue but by that time, she was already out of the
kitchen and Lara was heading back toward the pantry. She started to turn
and argue with Lara but then she knew that would be like arguing with a
wall and about as fruitful, so she went on to take her shower.

       When she came out of the shower, paint free and feeling refreshed,
she opened the bathroom door to something smelling very delicious, even
over the smell of the paint fumes. As much as she hated to have Lara doing
all the cooking but then again, it was kind of nice not having to cook or
decide what to cook as well as having something to eat with.

       "It smells great, what are you cooking?" Gena asked as she came over
to where Lara was standing by the stove.

       "It's a surprise... now go over and get some coffee. Then you can
sit and talk to me as I cook." Lara told her or rather ordered her.

       "Yes ma'am!" Gena said.

       "Funny... now go sit and drink your coffee and let me cook you up
something special." Lara said giving her a big smile.

       "You know, I usually don't like to eat anything I don't know what I
am eating."  Gena said as she got her coffee.

       "You'll like this," Lara told her confidently, so confidently that
Gena just had to call her on it.

       "You sound awful confidently, I'm not so sure that you have a right
to be that way." Gena told her.

       Lara turned putting her hands on her hips, "Have you disliked
anything I have cooked for you yet?" Lara said still with a confident smile
on her face.

       Gena so wanted to think of something to wipe that confident smile
off of Lara's face but she couldn't think of anything that she didn't like
as it was all delicious. Gena kept looking back at her trying to act just
as confident but then she broke into a smile, "No you are a excellent cook
and I have no doubt that I'll like whatever you are cooking."

       "I thought so." Lara said with a big grin on her face then she
turned her back to the stove.

       "So what are you cooking and don't say it's a surprise." Gena told
her as she sat down at the kitchen table.

       "I would tell you if I knew, but like most of the dishes that I
learned from watching Nana cook, I don't the names; I just remember how
they are made. I told you that before." Lara told her with a bit of
irritation in her voice.

       "Yea I know, I'm sorry, I forgot." Gena said truly sorry about
bringing that up again. So she decided to change the subject.

       "So did you like painting?" Gena asked her.

       "Oh yea, that was fun. And the room looked so much better with those
dirty white walls colored with the aqua green. I think that really opened
up the room." Lara said and Gena could see that Lara was smiling even
looking from behind of her.

       "It does look so much better. I can't wait to get the whole house
done." Gena told her as she sipped her coffee.

       "Well with me helping, we'll have the house painted in no time. Then
we can start on your next project." Lara said turning her head and giving
Gena a bright smile.

       "With your help, we'll have it done soon but I have to warn you, I
tend to want to change colors of my walls every so often." Gena told Lara
who smiled even bigger.

       "Cool, you buy the paint and I'll paint it for you," Lara told her.

       "I bet you will," Gena replied with a laugh.

       "So what room we doing tomorrow?" Lara asked.

       "Either the bathroom or the kitchen, which one would like to do?"
Gena asked of her.

       "Mmmm... I don't know... how about the kitchen?" Lara said.

       "You know the kitchen and the bathroom will be the hardest to
paint." Gena cautioned her.

       "Yea, that is why we should do them next, so let's start with the
kitchen." Lara told her as if that decided the matter.

       "Okay, the kitchen it is." Gena said letting Lara make the decision.

       As Lara finished cooking and as they ate, Gena told Lara about what
she wanted to do with the kitchen, like refinishing the doors and putting
new knobs and hinges on the cabinets. This seemed to excite Lara even more
as she wanted to get started on that too. Gena cautioned Lara that
refinishing the cabinets would be a lot harder than just painting the walls
but Lara was sure that they could do it. She even wanted to stop by the
store on the way back from the gym just to get the supplies that they
needed.  That way she could work on them on Monday while Gena was at
work. Gena wasn't so sure about this but then the doors looked terrible now
so whatever Lara did to them couldn't make them look any worse.

       "Okay show me how to work this damn thing." Gena told Lara as she
sat down on the couch with Lara plopping down right beside of her.

       "Oh don't act that way." Lara said as she turned to give her a
disapproving look.

       "Act what way?" asked somewhat surprised by Lara look that she was
giving her.

       "Like me teaching you will be a big waste of your time since you
don't plan on using any of the functions other than talking." Lara told
her.

       Gena looked at her for a moment a bit surprised that Lara had read
her as correctly as that was what she had been thinking since she had been
talked into these phones by Lara and Marti. Gena had to smile as she said,
"Busted," and then she laughed.

       "I tell you what, if you'll give me your full attention and honestly
give this phone a chance, in a month, you be wondering how you survived
without it." Lara told her giving her a confident smile that Gena had begun
to get wary of.

       "I doubt that but I do promise to give you my full attention and
I'll try to give this phone a chance." Gena told her.

       "Try?" Lara asked with her eyebrows arched.

       "I will give this phone a chance." Gena said.

       "Much better!" Lara told her as she had this serious expression on
her face making Gena want to laugh but she dared not to.

       "Okay let the training begin," Gena told her.

       "You will love this phone," Lara assured her as she picked up her
phone.

       "Just how do you know so much about these phones, when I arrested
you, you only had one of those cheap prepaid phones that all you could do
was sent texts and talk." Gena asked.

       "Oh I had lots of time in my room when I had nothing to do so I
researched everything that I saw was popular or sounded interesting. I
learned a lot about a lot of things." Lara told her.

       "I guess you did," Gena replied but that also brought up another
thought that she was curious about but she put that off as Lara was about
to start her lessons.

       "The first thing you need to know is how to answer the phone." Lara
told her.

       "Oh I know that one, you just say Hello," Gena said with a laugh
that got her a frown from Lara. "Sorry, I just couldn't resist."

       "Well try," Lara said very seriously.

       "I will I promise," Gena said wiping the smile off of her face and
she began to concentrate on what Lara was telling her.

       Lara went over each part of the phone making Gena repeat the steps
until she had it down pat. That included Lara calling her on the phone when
she was sitting up against her. Next came texting which took Gena a bit
longer to learn as she kept spelling things wrong or the phone would put in
a word that she didn't want to use. Lara had also picked up a lot of the
abbreviation that people used from the internet and she used them, then she
had to tell Gena what in the hell that she was saying. Once Gena could send
a decent text, Lara added Gena's email accounts to her phone, both her
personal and work ones. She then got on Gena's desktop and set up her own
hotmail email and added it to her own phone. She then put some ringtones on
their phone and she promised to find lots more to put on both of their
phones. By the time Lara was through, Gena was beginning to have a headache
but she did feel like she knew how to use most every part of her new phone.

       "As much as I hate to admit this but I think you might be right
about this phone, I'm beginning to like it already." Gena had to say when
Lara completed her first training session.

       "I knew you would," Lara said beaming from ear to ear.

       "Yes you did," Gena replied with a smile.

       "Thank you for getting me this phone, it's just so cool and it's
mine, I don't have to give it back when I get done with it." Lara said a
bit sadly.

       "No that one's all yours," Gena told her patting her knee as she did
so. "Now turn around, you got a bit of paint in your hair, let me get it
out for you."

       "I do... where?" Lara said as she ran her hand through her hair.

       "On the back of your head, here scoot back and turn your back to
me." Gena said as she turned to face her.

       "Okay," Lara said as she turned her back to Gena who had to move her
right leg up and putting it to the side of Lara so that Lara could scoot
back closer to her.

       Gena reached up and began to pick out some of the paint flecks in
Lara's hair.  "Just how did you learn to read anyway?"

       "Ouch!" Lara said first as Gena pulled out a bigger flick of paint
and pulled her hair in the process.

       "Sorry," Gena replied.

       "It's okay," Lara replied, "Actually one of my earliest memories is
me sitting on Nana's lap and her reading to me. She knew just enough
English to get along and more than enough to teach a little girl how to
start reading."

       "How old were you?" Gena asked.

       Lara turned her head back toward her, "I don't know but I was very
young. I probably learned to read and write long before most kids did. As I
got a bit older, she would bring me more of her kids and grandkids old
books. By that time, I had gotten past her ability to teach me so I learned
the rest on my own. She did get me an English dictionary and a
Spanish/English dictionary right before she left. That way I could look up
my own words learning their meaning from the dictionaries. Then when I got
my first laptop and found that I had the internet which I don't think my
bastard of a farther realized I had access to but that is what he got for
getting the house set up to be wireless. So that is when my world really
opened up at least it did in my mind."

       "You know you're an amazing girl," Gena told her.

       "I don't know.. I just did what I had to do to survive." Lara said
softly.

       "You did more than that," Gena told her.

       Lara went on to talk about some of the things that interested her
that she researched. It was a way to pass the time but Gena knew that it
also served to educate a young woman who had no formal education. She
probably had a more well rounded education than most kids had after they
had graduated from high school and maybe even some who had gone to
college. She knew accounting frontward and backward, though it was only
used to laundry money but she knew the rules better than most
accountants. And she loved to learn about history and what had happen in
all of the different ages since man evolved from the first mammals.

       "Is there that much paint in my hair?" Lara asked after she had
become quiet for a while as they sat there on the couch.

       Gena felt her face grow warm as Lana turned her head to look at her,
"No there was just a little there, I've just been playing with you soft
hair ever since."

       "Oh okay," Lara said smiling back at her.

       "You do have beautiful hair; I just love playing with it." Gena said
feeling embarrassed but that just seemed to make Lara happy.

       "I don't mind..." Lara said softly.

       Gena looked into Lara's eyes, getting lost in them as Lara turned
her shoulders toward Gena who dropped her left arm to Lara's left side. She
gently pulled Lara back toward placing her right hand on Lara's
stomach. Lara looked up at her with those pretty green eyes. Gena moved her
left hand up to the back of Lara's neck going up under Lara's hair and
feeling it almost caress the back of her hand. Gena gently pushed Lara's
head toward her not getting any resistance from her. Gena saw Lara's eyes
grow wide as head got closer. Gena watched as Lara closed her eyes as their
lips got close to touching. Gena closed her eyes at the last moment then
she felt Lara's lips touch hers.  Gena let their lips touch lightly before
pulling back. She felt Lara pressing forward being eager to continue the
kiss.

       Their only kiss had been that morning and it was a mad passionate
kiss and Gena wanted Lara to see that there was another way to kiss. She
pulled back so that she could look into Lara's eyes and seeing the
questions and doubts that Lara held. Lara was new to all of this and Gena
wanted to bring her along slowly, probably slower than Lara wanted to
go. Gena gave her a reassuring smile, "Close your eyes baby," she whispered
to her.

       Lara did so but Gena could see the confusion on her face.  Gena
paused for a moment then she kissed the tip of Lara's nose making her
wiggle it and giggle. She moved to Lara's forehead kissing it just as
lightly before going to each cheek giving those high cheekbones a
kiss. Gena could sense Lara becoming impatient to really kiss but Gena
wanted to show her that this was also real kissing. She did give Lara
another kiss to the lips but it was just as brief of the other kiss. She
let her fingers caress the back of Lara's neck as she planted kisses about
her face. Also the fingers of her right hand caressed Lara's
stomach. Slowly Gena felt Lara's body began to relax letting Gena kiss her
wherever she wanted to. Gena had Lara's face wet with her kisses before she
went back to Lara's lips kissing her lightly, just letting their lips
touch. She let the kiss linger and she could feel Lara's hands grip her
sides where she was holding onto her.  Gena let their lips part and this
time Lara was content to wait for Gena to kiss her again. Gena opened her
eyes for a brief second to see that Lara's face was beginning to flush and
that made her feel nice.

       Gena kissed Lara again, this time she let her lips part with Lara
parting her lips a fraction of a second later. Gena slowly began to let the
kissing get more passionate as she moved her lips around Lara's lips and
Lara mimicking her actions. Gena could feel her body getting excited and
she had to make herself slow down just as she was making Lara slow
down. She pulled back again going back to kissing Lara's face and this time
Lara seemed to enjoy it and she could feel Lara's hands gripping her
tighter as she kissed her cheeks, nose, and forehead. When she kissed
Lara's lips again, she let her tongue slip out from between her lips,
letting it touch Lara's lips. Gena heard Lara let out a soft moan as she
did this. She slowly moved her tongue into Lara's mouth, touching Lara's
tongue with the tip of her tongue. Lara let out a louder moan, before she
moved her tongue touching Gena's tongue. Gena moved the tip of her tongue
around Lara's tongue letting their tongues kiss as their lips were doing.
Gena let this kiss linger before she pulled back again with Lara following
her for a moment but then she stopped letting Gena end the kiss.

       Gena watched as Lara slowly opened her eyes and they had this
sparkle to them that Gena could not get enough of as it showed her just how
happy that she had made her. Lara's face was all flushed and she was
breathing a little harder as she caught her breath. Then Lara surprised her
by moving on up so that she was sitting on Gena's left thigh. She brought
up her hands putting them to the sides of Gena's face. Lara bit her lower
lip as she looked at her but then she gave her a soft smile. Gena could
feel Lara's soft hands holding her face in place and then Lara moved her
head inward. Gena closed her eyes waiting for the kiss that Lara wanted to
give her but she didn't kiss her lips, she kissed the tip of Gena's
nose. She then went to her forehead kissing the center then going a little
to the right and left of that center kiss. Gena then felt Lara kissing her
right cheek and then her left one. Gena had to let out a moan as she loved
to be kissed this way and she was proud of Lara for figuring that out. Gena
then felt Lara's lips touching her lips and Gena was the one putting her
hands to Lara's sides gripping them as they kissed. Lara sort of let Gena
take over the kissing from there as Gena slowly opened her lips putting her
tongue between her lips only to find Lara's tongue there waiting for it.

       They kissed with their lips taking turns kissing each other's faces
and lips and using their tongues. Gena slowly let Lara fall back as she
moved out from under her. So that Lara ended up lying on her back on the
couch and Gena laying to Lara's right side and Gena was laying partially on
top of her. Gena kissed Lara's right cheek kissing her up high on the cheek
bone then placing the next kiss a little lower and then lower. She went on
down the side of her cheek until she got to the edge of Lara's ear. She
then kissed her earlobe making Lara giggle as it tickled her. She then
sucked the earlobe into her mouth and this time Lara let out a moan.  She
sucked for a moment then she began to chew on the earlobe and Lara let out
a louder moan. Gena let the earlobe slip from her teeth before exhaling
into Lara's ear and that got her another moan from Lara.

       Gena began to kiss her way back to Lara's lips, giving her a soft
kiss as Lara turned her head toward Gena a hair to make the kissing
easier. Gena felt Lara's hand go to the back of her head as they
kissed. Gena gave her several soft brief kisses then she let their lips
stay together, kissing as Gena ran her hand up and down Lara's left
arm. She so wanted to place that hand on Lara's breasts but she resisted,
saving that for another time. She let their lips open allowing their
tongues to become entangled as their lips were locked together. Gena could
feel that her pussy was soaked and she so wanted to reach down and touch it
or better yet get Lara to touch it but again she stopped herself. As the
kiss went on Gena felt herself getting to the point of no return so she
slowly ended the kiss.

       Gena let their lips part then she raised her head up above Lara's,
giving her a smile as Lara opened her eyes. Gena could see the desire in
Lara's eyes and she knew that Lara was seeing the same desire in her own
eyes. "You're a very nice kisser, you know that." Gena said softly to her.

       "You are better," Lara said in even a softer voice, "I could lay
here and kiss you all night."

       "I could too but I think we need to head off to our beds. We got a
workout and sparring lesson to fit in tomorrow as well as getting started
on the kitchen." Gena said seeing the disappointment in Lara's eyes and
face.

       "Just a little more..." Lara pleaded with both her words and eyes.

       "Maybe tomorrow, now come on girl, let's head to bed." Gena said
forcing herself to get up off of Lara then she held out her hand to help
Lara up off the couch. The disappointment showed in Lara's eyes but she did
let Gena help her up though she held onto Gena's hand as she began to go
around turning off the lights and making sure that the doors were locked.

       When they got to the spare bedroom which was now Lara's bedroom,
Lara pulled Gena to her wrapping her arms around Gena's waist. "A good
night kiss..." Lara asked hopefully.

       Gena smiled, "I think a goodnight kiss would be nice."

       Gena moved her right hand to the back of Lara's neck, as Lara's
looked up into her eyes. Gena slowly lowered her head down closing her eyes
as their lips met. Gena slowly opened her lips letting the kiss become
passionate. She moved her tongue into Lara's mouth and she felt Lara's
tongue reaching out to meet it. She felt Lara's body pressed up against her
body and she could feel Lara's nipples pushing into her chest.  Gena let
out her own moan and Lara was moaning with her. Their bodies kissed just as
hard as their lips were kissing and again Gena felt her will slipping so
she began to pull back which was hard to do with Lara clinging to her.

       "I think that was a very nice goodnight kiss." Gena said in a lusty
voice as she pulled away heading to her bedroom before she changed her
mind.

       She turned on her alarm then turned off the lights before slipping
into her bed.  She closed her eyes and all she could think about were
Lara's soft lips and how nice Lara's body felt against her body. Before she
knew what she was doing, her right hand was pulling up her nightgown and
slipping up under her panties. She could feel the heat from her pussy long
before her fingers got there. Her fingers went through her thick pubic hair
and down to her pussy. Usually she liked to get herself warmed up first but
in this case, she was already on fire.

       "Oh fuck!" Gena cried out louder than she meant to then she had to
bite her lower lip to keep Lara from hearing her.

       She ran her fingers across her wet pussy lips getting them soaked
with her juices. Her panties were restricting a little of her movement of
the hand however she didn't want to take the time to pull them off. She
needed to cum and she needed to cum soon. She ran her fingers up and down
she slit getting them covered with her juices. She was moaning aloud though
she was biting her lower lip, she hoped that the moans were being muffled a
little. She slipped a couple of fingers into her pussy feeling the heat and
the juices flowing from her pussy. She fucked herself as best she could for
a moment before she let her fingers go to her engorged clit. It was super
sensitive and she let out a moan as her fingers began to run across it. She
was using an up and down motion putting lots of pressure on her clit. She
began to moan louder as she rubbed faster and harder. She was quickly
approaching her orgasm so she put her thumb and index finger against her
clit pinching and pulling on it. She rolled the little nub between her
fingers feeling her body go stiff and she felt the first wave of her orgasm
start from her pussy.

       "Oh Lara!" she cried out as the first wave hit her head and then
from the door she heard a gasp and a moan. Gena knew then that she was
being watched but then the main waves of her long overdue orgasm hit
her. It had been too long since she had pleasured herself and it felt so
fucking good. She lay there for a moment enjoying the afterglow of her
orgasm and she thought about Lara watching her. It made her a bit mad but
then it was nice too. However it also told Lara that she desired her which
she didn't mean to do however after kissing her all evening that was
something that Lara had probably already figured out.

       After a few minutes, Gena realized that her panties were soaking wet
and she needed to clean up and change into a clean pair. She got out of bed
going to her dresser and getting a clean pair of panties and a clean
gown. She went out the door and started to go across the hall to the
bathroom. She had just about made it across the hall when she heard a moan
coming from Lara's room. She felt the temptation to go down and spy on Lara
but she decided against it until she heard another moan and the temptation
became too great. She reasoned that since Lara spied on her, she had a
right to spy on her. So she threw her clean panties and gown into the
bathroom before sneaking down the hall to the edge of Lara's door.

       She slowly peeked around the edge of the frame of the door. She
almost let out a gasp of her own when she saw Lara lying on the small twin
bed. The security light outside of Lara's window shown threw the sheer
curtains that hung in the window. Lara had obviously taken the time to shed
herself of her gown and panties and was lying on her back. Her legs were
spread out and Gena could see Lara's fingers moving against her pussy. She
couldn't see exactly what those fingers were doing but she had a good
idea. She also saw Lara's chest moving up and down from her heavy
breathing. Lara was using her left hand to pinch her nipples going from one
to the other.

       Gena's right hand went back down to her own pussy, slipping up under
her panties once again. Gena began to rub her pussy as she watched Lara rub
hers. Lara was moaning much louder than Gena did and she didn't seem to be
worried if anyone heard her or maybe she wanted to someone to hear her and
that being her. Lara brought her knees up spreading them out as she Gena
watched. She could see that Lara was now using her fingers against her
pussy not having the problem of her panties getting in the way as Gena had
before and was now dealing with. She so wanted to dive between those legs
and find out just what Lara tasted like. She saw those fingers moving
around Lara's pussy and she could hear the squishy sounds that they were
making so she knew that Lara was very wet. Lara worked her pussy harder
faster and harder just as Gena was doing. Gena could feel her second orgasm
of the night coming upon her and she tried to hold it off. She watched
Lara's fingers begin to rub her clit and she heard her moan louder and
harder. It was only a matter of seconds before Lara's legs came together
trapping her hand between her legs and Gena heard Lara grunt hard as she
came.

       Gena turned putting her back against the wall. She rubbed her clit
hard as she thought about Lara cumming so hard just seconds before. Gena
felt her pussy start to spasm and before she could stop herself out came,
"Oh fuck!" She came hard into her panties for the second time tonight and
what was worse was she knew that Lara knew that she was spying on her. Gena
stayed up against the wall until she was sure that her legs would carry her
then she made her way back to the bathroom to clean her pussy and to get
into clean panties. She hated that Lara had caught her but then it was kind
of exciting and made her orgasms that much more enjoyable. When she got
back to her bed, she fell fast asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow,
and the dreams of Lara came to her making her wake up with damp panties
once again.

       "Well good morning Sunshine," Gena said as she came into the kitchen
with the coffee made and Lara at the stove.

       Lara turned giving her a bright smile, "Good morning to you too."

       Gena started toward the counter where the coffee was but then she
saw Lara's smile begin to form into a frown and she knew why. So Gena made
a detour going to where Lara was standing, she put her arm around Lara's
waist bringing her into her body. She then planted a kiss to Lara's lips, a
light kiss that made Lara smile then she kissed her a little harder
bringing a little moan from Lara.

       "So did you sleep well?" Gena said letting Lara go and going over to
the coffee.

       "Oh I slept great, how about you?" Lara said still smiling as she
turned back to the stove.

       "I slept great too, better than I have in a long while." Gena
admitted but then a couple of orgasms before going to sleep always helps
but she didn't tell Lana that.

       "So what you fixing for breakfast?" Gena asked as she stirred her
coffee.

       "It's a surprise," Lara said with a giggle.

       "Is everything you cook a surprise?" Gena asked as she took her
first sip of coffee.

       Lana let out a hearty laugh, "Yep, it is. Don't worry about what
it's called; you just worry about eating it."

       "I'm beginning to figure that out." Gena said with a laugh.

       So they talked as Lara cooked and then they ate a nice breakfast but
then everything that Lara cooked so far was great. She did have a touch
with cooking and none of it was really heavy, it was just filling enough to
satisfy her hunger. And better yet, she wasn't putting on any more weight,
at least not yet but she was going to get back to her workouts to make
sure.

       After getting the kitchen cleaned up, they went to change into their
workout clothes and then they headed to the gym. Gena got the door open and
Lana helped her to get the lights and fans going. Then they began their
workout. Gena went at it harder than she had the day before and so did Lana
though in her own way. She had a long way to go to work up to the type of
resistance that Gena was using but she did work hard.

       "So you ready for your sparring lesson?" Gena asked Lara as they
drank some cold water and wiped the sweat off their faces.

       "Yea, let's go." Lara said with a laugh and she grabbed Gena's hand
going back to the room where the boxing ring was. Once there, Gena put the
gloves on Lara's hands tying them up. Gena was just starting to put her
gloves on when Mary walked in.

       "Don't tell me you're going get into the ring with this tiger
again. I thought you were smarter than that." Mary said to Gena as she gave
a wink to Lara who tried not to giggle but did so anyway.

       "Yea, I never said I was smart," Gena said with a laugh.

       "I believe that," Mary said laughing as she helped Gena on with her
gloves and tied them down for her.

       "Well come on and let's get you both in the ring so that the beating
can begin."  Mary said leading the way to the ring. Lara was giggling the
whole way and Gena couldn't help but to smile. Here was, just the week
before, a girl that was scared to death of the boxing ring and now she was
getting into it giggling and having fun.

       Mary surprised Gena by stepping into the ring with them and in a way
she was a bit pissed at her as she wanted this time to be just her and
Lara. "If you're going to be beating up my business partner every weekend
then let me at least give you a few pointers then I'll leave you to put
what I teach you to good use." Mary told Lara and Gena felt bad about what
she had just been thinking, she should have known that Mary wouldn't
interfere with their little game for too long.

       "You know, I think I'm the one who needs lessons, she's the one who
got the best of me last Sunday." Gena told Mary.

       "True but she's cuter than you are so I'm helping her." Mary said
and Gena saw Lara blushing but also eating up the attention.

       "Just like you to chase after every cute ass that walks by." Gena
said making Lara blush more.

       Mary promptly took Lara by the shoulders turning her around, "Oh
yea, she does have a cute ass doesn't she."

       Lara was by now beat red but she was also smiling from ear to
ear. "Now quit flirting with Lara and show us a thing or two." Gena said to
Mary to give Lara a break.

       "Oh yes flirting with Lara is your job now, isn't it?" Mary asked as
she turned Lara back around just in time to see Gena blushing.

       Mary then got serious, "Okay the most important thing to boxing is
not your hands but your feet."

       "It is?" Lara asked with a questioning look in her eyes.

       "Well at least as important to me. I'm big on foot work, without it
you're going to lose each of your fights." Mary told them.

       "But we're only going to be sparring with each other." Gena told her
before Lara got scared at the idea that she would eventually have to
actually fight someone for real.

       "Still I like to see you both use good footwork." Mary told them.

       She then began to show them where to put their feet and how to move
them around the ring, showing them how it was done and also showing that
for a big woman, she was still quick on her feet. She then showed them how
to hold their gloves to protect themselves but also how to throw a punch
from that position. She stayed with them for around fifteen minutes before
going on back to her office and shutting the door thus leaving them in
private to continue their play boxing match.

       "That was nice of Mary to take the time to show us some things."
Lara said as they both moved around the ring throwing jabs at each other
with neither of them really hitting the other.

       "Yes it was nice of her but you know what else it was?" Gena asked.

       "No what?" Lara asked.

        "When it comes to boxing she is a perfectionist and I think it was
killing her to watch us last Sunday." Gena told her and then she laughed.

       "All the same, it was still of her." Lara said then she got a decent
jab into Gena's right shoulder.

       "Oh nice one," Gena said smiling and she got a shot in on her own,
hitting Lara on the upper right arm.

       "You too," Lara replied as a look of concentration came over her
face.

       Gena felt another couple of good jabs come her way so she began to
move around the ring a little more making Lara chase after her and also
getting them both to work up a real sweat. After a few more minutes, Gena
called for a break as they both had begun to gasp for air. While Lara
rested, Gena went to the office and got Mary to hand them a couple of cold
waters to drink. As they drank them down, they talked about the lessons
that Mary had given them and Gena gave her a few more pointers.  Most of
what Mary had told them was more for Lara's sake as Mary had already taught
her these moves. They toweled themselves off as best they could with gloves
on and once the water was gone, they moved back into the center of the
ring.

       So far, Gena had let Lana do most of the jabbing but she began to
jab back a little harder. Still nothing that would actually hurt her but
she did want Lana to start to think about defending herself and not just
doing all the punching. She would aim for her arms and stomach, and this
caused Lara to concentrate more on stopping Gena's blows and she stopped
jabbing so much as she began to block where Gena was punching.  This
allowed Gena to get even more jabs in as Lara started to backing away as
Gena moved forward. Soon she had Lara up against the ropes with nowhere to
go. Lara had her arms in front of her with her gloves covering her
face. Gena hit Lara's gloves a few times getting Lara to really cover up.

       "You know what you do when you are pinned up against the ropes?"
Gena asked as she put her gloves down.

       "What?" Lara asked peaking from between her gloves but still not
letting them down.

       "Trade places," Gena told her as she moved around and put herself up
against the ropes.

       "Now what?" Lara asked as she stood in front of her.

       "You start hitting me and I'll show you." Gena said with a smile.

       She could tell Lara wasn't so sure about this however she did bring
up her arms and started to jab at Gena, but they were jabs that Gena could
easily block.

       "No, really try to hit me." Gena told her.

       "You sure?" Lara asked with uncertainty in her voice and her face
showed that this was something she didn't want to do for fear of hurting
her.

       "Yea I'm sure, go for it. I know a bunch of people who would love to
get a chance to punch a cop." Gena told her with a grin.

       "Yea, but I bet they're all in jail." Lara countered.

       "True, but all the same, they wouldn't pass up the chance to hit me,
so you had better take advantage as you might not get another chance." Gena
told her.

       "Okay, you asked for it." Lara said bringing up her gloves.

       Gena got prepared to defend herself and Lara began to punch at her
but without hitting her very hard. "Come on; put some force behind those
punches, you're punching like a girl." Gena told her

       "I am a girl." Lara told her.

       "Well punch like a real girl, not a whimpy one." Gena told her
forcefully.

       "Whimpy!" Lara said and Gena knew she had pushed the right button.

       Lara began to really fling her gloves forgetting all the lessons
that Mary had just showed her. She did actually get a couple of licks in
before Gena made her move.  Between the swings of Lara's arms Gena quickly
slipped her arms around Lara's sides putting her gloves to Lara's back and
drawing her into her body so that Lara had nowhere to hit her. Gena could
see Lara's surprise at this sudden change of positions.  Gena then capped
it off by kissing Lara on the lips catching her completely by surprise.

       "And that is what I call Gena's Kissing Defense." Gena said with a
grin.

       "I like that defense," Lara said as she leaned in against her. Lara
closed her eyes and she tilted her head upwards for another kiss that Gena
was more than happy to give her.

       It was a soft kiss and Gena could taste the sweat on Lara's lips and
she liked it.  She so wanted to really give her a passionate kiss her but
this wasn't a place to do it.  Gena slowly pulled her head back letting
their lips part. "I think we need to head home, this isn't the place to be
kissing, if you know what I mean."

       Lara had a disappointed expression on her face but Gena cold see
that she understood what she was saying. "Okay, can we take a shower before
we leave?"

       Gena knew what she was wanting and she hated to disappoint her but
she had to, "No not today, I think Mary has work to do and we have taken
enough of her time today."

       "Okay," Lara said showing her disappointment but going along with
it.

       "Besides we're just going to get sweaty when we get home. Taking all
the cabinet doors off and then having to paint the walls.

       "I'll need the stain and sandpaper to work on those doors on
Monday." Lara told her.

       "You know..." Gena was saying when Lara stopped her by saying.

       "Yea I know I don't have to but I'm going to do it so you might as
well get me what I need." Lara told her with a determined look on her face.

       "Okay," Gena said with a laugh then she gave her a kiss on the
cheek.

       "Come on, let's get these gloves off and head out. I figure that we
can work until late afternoon and then clean up and head to Concord to get
what you need for the cabinets." Gena said then she brought the cuff of the
glove up to the mouth to untie the strings that held the glove onto her
hand.

       She pulled on the string but it didn't give, Mary had tied it too
tightly and with her sweat soaked into it, it just made the knot
tighter. "Ah... I think we may have to bother Mary after all." Gena said
with a smile.

       "What's wrong?" Lara asked more than a little concerned.

       "I can't get the knots untied. Mary got them too tight," Gena told
her. "Come on; let's go get out of these gloves."

       Gena went to the ropes by the stairs, holding them open for Lara to
go through.  She followed through, following Lara down the stairs and on to
Mary's office. Gena had to bang hard to get Mary's attention with the
gloves muffling the sound of her knocks.

       "What can I do for you ladies?" Mary asked as she opened the door.

       "You can get us out of these damn gloves, you tied them too tight."
Gena told her.

       Mary gave out a big laugh, "You know, we need to get some gloves
that use Velcro so people can get them on and off without needing help."

       "You know, that isn't a bad idea," Gena said as she held out her
arms so that Mary could get the gloves off.

       "So how we doing this month?" Gena asked as Mary pulled her gloves
off.

       "Not too bad, we brought in enough to keep us going for a while and
maybe even give you a little." Mary told her.

       "Just put my part back into the reserve fund, you never know when
something will tear up or we need a pair of boxing gloves with Velcro
straps." Gena said with a wink to Lara.

       "You know, she never takes any money from this place, it always goes
into the rainy day fund." Mary told Lara as she helped get her gloves off.

       "Hey I get free use of the gym and bring in a guest without charging
them a membership fee." Gena told her.

       "Ah Lara isn't a guest, she's a member of the family now." Mary told
her which brought a big smile from Lara.

       "Thank you... for considering me apart of your family," Lara said
quietly.

       Mary had a huge smile on her face as she put her right arm around
Lara's shoulders pulling her in toward her then she put her left arm around
Gena's shoulders pulling her in close too, "Hey us orphans got to stick
together, we're all we got to depend on." She then gave a kiss to Lara's
cheek which had a tear running down it and then she kissed Gena on her
cheek.

       "You both are the best family I could ever ask for." Lara said with
tears running down her cheeks.

       "Ah hell girl stop your crying, you'll get me crying like you have
Gena." Mary said and Gena blushed a little when Lara looked up at her and
smiled.

       Mary then pushed them both away as she wiped her own tears
away. "Now you both get in there and take a shower, you've got me soaked
with your sweaty stinky bodies."

       "Now that is a great way to break up a nice moment." Gena chastised
Mary.

       "You know I'm not into all that girly mushy stuff." Mary told Gena
acting all tough like.

       "Yea, like I believe that." Gena said as she gave Lara a wink, then
she began to move toward Mary.

       Gena reached out her arm for Lara and brought her in toward Mary as
she said, "I think our tough bitch friend needs a big hug."

       "Now you two get away from me." Mary ordered as she backed up until
her ass hit the front of her desk.

       "Nope, not until we give you a big hug and melt your cold hearted
heart." Gena said and she heard Lara giggling.

       "Yea, we got to melt your heart." Lara repeated as they got up to
Mary.

       "Like you can..." Mary said folding her arms in front of her body
with her lips forming a big frown.

       "Oh I believe we can..." Gena said, "Don't you Lara."

       "Oh yes, I know we can." Lara said with a heartwarming smile that
Mary couldn't resist.

       "Oh come on you two." Mary said pulling her arms from between their
bodies and she hugged them both to her.

       "You both are too much for me." Mary said with a laugh giving them
both a kiss on the heads.

       "See I knew we could melt her heart." Gena said to Lara who was
grinning.

       "You may have melted my heart but you both still need a shower, so
go hit the showers." Mary ordered them as she gently pushed them both away.

       "Thanks but we'll get out of your way, we didn't bring anything to
change into."  Gena told Mary.

       "Hey we still got some of those tee shirt and shorts set that we had
for the grand opening. You can wear them home." Mary told Gena.

       "But we don't have any bras or panties to wear with them." Gena told
her still trying to figure out a way out of taking another shower with Lara
here though she could see that Lara was getting a bit frustrated at her
excuses.

       "So I won't tell. Now get your asses in there and have a nice shower
before the place starts to fill up." Mary told her.

       The next thing Gena knew, Lara had her by the hand and was dragging
her into Mary's bathroom. Gena had to smile as obviously Lara had had
enough of her finding excuses for not taking a shower there.

       "I like Mary, she acts all tough but really isn't." Lara said
letting go of Gena's hand then going into the shower to turn the water on
and stepping around the water to come back out of the shower.

       "Don't let Mary hear you say that." Gena told Lara.

       "Hear her say what?" Mary said as she stuck her head inside the door
and throwing their shirts and shorts onto the sink.

       "That you're a..." Lara said then she paused for a second and she
looked at Gena as if trying to decide to say what she wanted to say. Gena
wasn't sure what it was but she smiled at Lara to encourage to go on ahead
and say whatever she wanted to say.

       A big grin came upon Lara's face as she said, "That you're a mean
ole bitch."  Lara said grinning even bigger.

       Gena let out a big laugh as she saw Mary's jaw drop from shock but
Mary quickly recovered, "And you had better not forget that child." Then
she shut the door and they both heard Mary let out a big laugh.

       "That was a good one!" Gena said raising her right hand up and Lara
hit it with her palm as they exchanged high fives.

       "Thanks, I wasn't sure if I should say something like that to Mary
but thought I could." Lara told her as she peeled her top off.

       "Oh hell you can say anything to Mary and she'll eat it up." Gena
said pulling her own top off.

       Gena began to push her shorts off but she kept glancing at Lara as
she pulled her sports bra off freeing her breasts and opening them to
Gena's gaze. Gena tried not to be too obvious about it however she sort of
knew that Lara wanted her to look. Gena got her shorts off and took her own
sports bra off and she saw that Lara was watching her too. Gena felt her
nipples hardening and she wished that she could make them stop but alas she
had no control over her nipples just as she had no control over her pussy
which was also getting moist. Lara pushed her shorts and panties down at
the same time and Gena just had to glance at her pussy covered with that
thick black hair. Lara stepped out of her shorts and panties leaving them
in the floor. Gena could see that there was moisture on the crotch of
Lana's panties and it wasn't put there by just the sweat from their workout
and sparring match. Gena then watched as Lana walked slowly into the shower
with Gena staring at her full ass. Once Lara was under the spray of the
shower, Gena quickly shed her panties putting her clothes with Lana's and
then putting them all onto the sink, before joining Lara in the shower.

       "How does it feel?" Gena asked as she stepped under the other nozzle
getting her body wet.

       "Great, I was feeling a bit sticky with all the sweat on my body."
Lara said with a smile.

       "Yea, me too," Was all Gena could say as it was the truth.

       As they washed, Gena would glance over at Lara who was always
glancing at her and she always had this big smile on her face. Gena had to
smile back as Lara's smiles were always contagious. Lara's nipples were
just as hard as hers were and it was all that Gena could do not to lean
over and suck one of those pink nipples into her mouth. Again she resisted
the urge to do so however that was hard to do.

       Gena was just starting to wash her back when Lara said, "Here, let
me do that for you."

       Gena started to argue with her but before she could do so, Lara had
her turned around and was using her washcloth to wash her back. "Thank
you," Gena said.

       Gena stood there feeling Lara's right hand with the wash cloth go
across her back and she had to admit that it felt good. Lara's left hand
was also on her back, doing more caressing than washing. Gena so wanted to
let out a contented moan but that she did hold within herself. The
washcloth went from her shoulders to her lower back and Gena was now
content to just let Lara wash her for as long as she wanted however Lara
finished her back before Gena was ready for her to do so.

       "You're done, now it's my turn," Lara said as she turned her back to
Gena.

       Gena turned back around to face Lara's back and she just stood there
for a second. She looked at Lara's pale skin and her eyes went down to that
cute ass that would more than fill her hands. After a few seconds, Lara
turned her head back toward her with a look of expectation in her eyes.

       "Oh sorry," Gena said with a smile. She put some bath soap on her
washcloth, and then she put the washcloth to Lara's shoulders. She also put
her left hand to Lara's other shoulder feeling the soft skin there. Her
right hand began to wash the sweat from Lara's body and enjoying touching
Lara's smooth soft skin. She ran the washcloth over Lara's shoulders and on
down to Lara's back stopping short of her ass. She wanted to wash that too
but she didn't, instead she moved her right hand back up Lara's back going
back over the places that she had already washed. Lara didn't seem to mind
as she stood there just letting Gena wash her and caress her as she was now
doing. Gena just kept going over Lara's back until she realized that she
had been washing Lara's back for several minutes.

       "I think your back is clean now." Gena told her after clearing her
voice.

       "Thanks," Lara said as she turned around flashing Gena a bright
smile, a happy contented smile.

       Gena had to smile back as the thought went through her head that
while Lara might be innocent of a lot of worldly things, she was still very
much a woman and she knew how to seduce someone and Gena was the one being
seduced.  The bad part was that it was working and Gena wasn't sure just
how long she could resist her before she gave in. She just wanted Lara to
be sure of what she really wanted and she wasn't sure that Lara knew that
or had enough information to really make that decision.

       Lara began to wash her hair and Gena had to watch for a moment as
Lara had her hands above her head thus raising her breasts and making them
jut out. They moved with the motion of Lara's arms and Gena felt her pussy
really getting moist now and it wasn't from the water of the shower. Gena
had to finally turn away so that she could wash her hair without Lara's
body distracting her. She even closed her eyes to lessen the temptation and
was thus was able to finish bathing. Lara finished rinsing her hair and
stepped out of the shower as Gena finished up. Gena turned off the water
and she stepped in beside of Lara who was busy drying her body with a big
towel. Gena grabbed the other one that Lara had gotten for her and was
drying her front when she felt a towel being placed on her back and she
felt Lara's hands on that towel.

       "What you doing?' Gena asked as she turned her head back toward
Lara.

       "I'm drying your back," Lara said simply and then she went back to
rubbing Gena's back with her towel.

       "Oh okay," Gena said as she started again to dry her body.

       "I figured you would need a hand since you're so old and decrepit."
Lara said then she started to giggle.

       "Old and decrepit am I?" Gena said as she put one corner of her
towel in her right hand and the opposite corner in her left.

       She carefully swung the towel in a circle as Lara said, "Yea you
are," and she kept giggling.

       Gena then quickly turned around taking a step back then she snapped
her towel catching Lara on her right thigh.

       "Ouch!" Lara screamed and she dropped her towel which gave Gena the
advantage she needed.

       "I may be old but I'm also very quick and devious." Gena said with a
mischievous grin.

       She then got her towel ready to pop Lara again, "No!" Lara said
turning around trying to find a place to get away from Gena and her towel.

       This put Lara's ass right in Gena's range and she snapped the towel
hitting Lara on her left ass check.

       "Ouch!" Lara said grabbing her left ass cheek so Gena aimed for the
right on centering it perfectly.

       "Hey that hurts!" Lara screamed but she was laughing to as she
jumped to get away from the towel that Gena was welding.

       Gena got her towel in position for another attack, "So am I still
old and decrepit?"

       Lara looked at her then looked pass her, she paused for a second
then she said, "Yes you are and mean too!" then she tried to duck around
her.

       Gena let her go past then she popped her left ass cheek
again. "Ouch!" Lara said as she grabbed her ass and jumped almost slipping
on the floor.

       Gena was about to pop Lara's ass again but when she saw her about to
slip so she stepped toward her. That was when Lara saw her opening as she
turned and she came to Gena as Gena came toward her to catch her. Lara
grasped Gena much the same way that Gena has grasped her in the ring just a
bit ago.

       "You fell into my trap?" Lara said grasping Gena and not letting go.

       "What trap is that?" Gena asked.

       Lara grinned, "I am using very secretive defense against the towel."

       "And what defense would that be?" Gena asked as she dropped the
towel she was holding and putting her arms around Lara's body.

       "Lara's kissing defense..." She said as she went up on her tiptoes
giving Gena a light kiss to the lips.

       "I believe that could be a very effective defense against the
towel..." Gena told her, putting her right hand to the back of Lara's neck
and lowering her lips down to Lara's giving her a soft lingering kiss.

       "I think so too..." Lara cooed as she went for another kiss which
Gena gave her.  This time Gena opened her lips as she felt Lara's soft
naked body against her body.  Gena's left hand went from Lara's lower back
down to her ass, gently caressing it making Lara moan. The kiss was
becoming very passionate as their tongues touched however that was when
they heard voices coming from Mary's office.

       Gena slowly pulled back trying to catch her breath as Lara was doing
the same, "I think we'd better be going."

       "Yea..." Lara said with a frown as she pulled back away from Gena's
arms which didn't want to let her go.

       They quickly finished drying their bodies leaving their hair
slightly wet. Gena slipped on a pair of the shorts that Mary had put out
for them. They were loose fitting but they were also very short. Gena knew
that she would have to be careful not to show anything if she was to sit
down or bend over. She saw that Lara's shorts did the same with her. They
both slipped on their tee shirts and while it was thick enough to hide
their nipples, it did nothing to hide the fact that both of their nipples
were hard.

       Lara grinned at her, "It feels kind of naughty wearing this without
any panties or a bra."

       "Yea it does... I just hope that no one from work sees me, I would
never hear the end of it." Gena said thinking about everyone talking about
her outfit that she was seen wearing.

       "Then I guess we had better hurry and get out of here before they
see you."  Lara said and she bent over to pick up their towels. Gena stood
there and watched as the shorts rode up and she could see the hair from her
pussy peeking from around the edges of her shorts.

       Gena kept watching until Lara straightened back up, then she began
to help clean up the bathroom. Once it was back in shape, Gena slowly
opened the door going to Mary's office and seeing no one there, she led
Lara into Mary's office and then out to where the boxing ring was. There
they saw Mary up in the ring with Sheena and she was showing her something
about her footwork. Gena gave a wave to them both and they headed into the
main part of the workout area. There were only a couple of people there so
they were able to get their stuff and head out the door into the already
hot summer morning.

       The car was hot and Gena felt the sweat forming on her brow as soon
as she sat down. She got the car started and moving letting the air from
the windows cool the car.  Luckily they didn't have all that far to go to
get back home.

       "I think I'll put a pair of panties and bra on before we get
started." Gena said as she entered the house.

       "Why?" Lara asked stopping Gena in her tracks.

       "Because..." Gena started to say that someone would see her but then
it was just her and Lara there.

       Lara grinned when Gena didn't finish her sentence. "We'll be working
on the kitchen and these shorts and tee shirts are nice and cool." Lara
said.

       "Well you got a point there," Gena said.

       "Yep, now let's get at that kitchen," Lara said slipping past her
and heading for the kitchen.

       When Gena got there, Lara was in the kitchen and she had to bottles
of water out. "Thanks; for once I want something more than a cup of
coffee." Gena said laughing.

       "I bet it won't be long before you get the coffee pot going." Lara
said laughing with her.

       "I bet it won't either," Gena said with a laugh and then she drained
about half of the bottle of water.

       "I think we ought to take all the cabinet doors off first then we
can start to paint the walls and ceiling," Lara told Gena.

       "I guess that's as good a place to start as any, let me get my
portable screwdriver," Gena replied.

       When Gena returned a couple of minutes later, Lara already was
covering the cabinets and table with the old sheets. She stopped and helped
Gena remove all the cabinet doors making the kitchen look pretty bad but
Gena knew once they were done, it would look so much better. They put the
doors out on the carport that Gena never used during the summer preferring
to just park out front of the house.

       Once they began to paint the ceiling, Gena began to wonder if they
should have left the doors on the cabinets but it was too late now. So they
had to work slowly trying not to flip any paint onto anything in the
cabinets. They worked for a couple of hours before taking a break and
eating a sandwich which they had to go outside to eat to get away from the
paint fumes which wasn't bad but still a little fresh air did them some
good.

       When they started back to work, Lara got up on the sink counter to
paint the area between the counter and the cabinets. There was only about a
foot and half to paint so Lara had to use one of the small rollers. However
first she had to put some tape down at the edges so that she wouldn't get
paint on either the counter or the bottom of the cabinets. Lara was almost
lying down on the counter and Gena was standing near her knees peeling the
tape off and handing it to Lara. It was on about the third piece of tape
that Lara happened to move her right knee up so that her knee was at a
ninety degree angle to her bottom, left leg she left straight. Gena was
handing the piece of tape to Lara when her eyes just happened to look down
and she found that she could see Lara's pussy from the open leg hole of her
shorts. She felt Lara grab the tape from her hand causing her to smile as
she looked back at Lara's face. However after tearing off another piece of
tape, and holding it out for Lara, Gena's eyes went back to the opening on
Lara's shorts. She saw Lara's slit peeking from between the dark hairs
surrounding it. She could see the outer lips that looked so pretty and the
inner lips just barely peeking from between those fat outer lips.

       Lara took the piece of tape from Gena then she slowly eased forward
on the counter. Gena was looking up Lara's shorts as Lara did so and she
saw those lips part just a little showing the moist pink insides. Gena felt
her own pussy twitch and she found that she couldn't look away. Lara
brought her right knee up a little more which gave Gena a complete view of
her pussy. Gena unconsciously licked her lips and when she looked up she
saw that Lara was looking back at her with a big smile on her face. Gena
felt her face go warm as she blushed. Gena said "Sorry" and she quickly
peeled a piece of tape off for Lara.

       She also moved to Lara's head so that she could keep her mind on the
business at hand. This drew a frown from Lara but if she was trying to get
attention, Gena knew that she had succeeded and did so very well. Lara got
the counters and cabinets taped with Gena resisting the urge to stare up
her shorts. However throughout the afternoon, she did find herself glancing
at Lara when she was painting and catching a peek here and there. She could
feel her pussy give her a twinge at every look and she could also smell a
little of her arousal from time to time. She hoped that Lara didn't also
catch a whiff of her but she knew that she probably did.

       They stopped at about five to clean up and change clothes, finding
something a bit less revealing to run to the large hardware store in
Concord to get the stain, the varnish, and the things that Lara would need
to apply it. They also talked to the sales staff there that was able to
tell them how the doors needed to be sanded and then how the stain and
varnish should be applied.  While they were there, Gena and Lara picked out
new hinges and door knobs for the doors. The ones that were on there were
old and they did need to be replaced. Since they already had the doors
down, now was the perfect time to do that too.

       "So what do you want to eat?" Gena asked as they got into the car
and she turned on the air conditioner.

       "I don't know something different?" Lara said, then after a pause,
she said, "Surprise me with something great to eat."

       "Now that is pressure," Gena said with a laugh.

       "Just a little..." Lara said with a giggle. "No anything is fine
with me; you know I'll eat most anything."

       "Yea, but where to go?" Gena thought out loud. She really did want
to find something that Lara had not tried before but she wasn't sure what
the cooks that her father had, might have cooked and fed her. The only one
that Lana had really talked about was the first one Nana who made a lot of
Latin dishes or at least that is what Lara liked to cook.

       Gena had just pulled out onto the highway heading toward home when
she thought of something. "Hey have you ever had Japanese food?"

       "No, what's it like?" Lara asked.

       "You're about to find out." Gena said with a smile. "Now I just got
to find a place to turn around."

       "I take it; the restaurant is in the opposite direction." Lara said.

       "Yea, I thought of it a second too late." Gena said with a
laugh. "But that can be fixed quickly." Gena told her as she got to the
next red light; she got into the turning lane.

       "So do you like Japanese food?" Lara asked.

       "I love it, I haven't gone in a long time as it is a lot more fun to
go with someone and now I got someone to go with." Gena said looking over
at Lara with a smile and got a big smile in return.

       "Yes you do," Lara said and then Gena felt Lara's hand on her right
hand. Gena smiled at her and she grasped Lara's fingers gently as they
folded over her hand and between her thumb and index finger.

       Lara wanted to know about the food and Gena told her the things that
she liked but she didn't tell her anything about the way they cooked the
food. Instead, she waited until they entered the restaurant and were
greeted by all the cooks who were in the center of the room. Lara jumped in
shock then she grinned real big. Gena asked to be seated at the counter
which was a large circle from which the customers sat around and the cooks
talked, cooked, and entertained them. Lara sat and watched the cooks; she
was at first a bit shy to reply to anything that they said but the cooks
got the better of her and soon had her talking away. Then she would ask
Gena if she heard what they had said as if she hadn't been there the whole
time. Lara ate and talked and there didn't seem to be anything that she
wouldn't try and very few things that she didn't like, as the cooks had
prepared them a little bit of most everything that they made.

       "Oh my god, we got to come back here again, that was fun." Lara said
excitedly once they were outside of the door.

       "I take it you liked eating Japanese food." Gena said stating the
obvious.

       "Oh god yes, it was fun. I wasn't sure about the cooks and their
knives at first; I just knew that one of them could cut their finger off
any second." Lara said with a laugh.

       "Oh I believe that they probably train for years before they do that
for customers. They know what they're doing as they don't want to serve you
one of their fingers anymore than you want to be served one." Gena said
seriously.

       "Oh yuck!" Lara said with a laugh, "Now I never want to come back!"

       "Oh that won't happen; they know what they are doing." Gena said
afraid that she had gone too far.

       "Oh I know you were messing with me. I won't let you out of taking
me back that easily." Lara said giving her a big smile.

       "Oh don't worry, we'll come back, I love eating here as much as you
do." Gena assured her as she opened the door for Lara.

       She wasn't sure why she did that until Lara looked up at her as she
was getting into the car and she said, "Thank you." Gena then knew why she
had held the door open for Lara, because it gave her pleasure to do so and
the smile that Lara gave her was worth it. When Gena got to her door, she
found that Lara had reached over and opened it holding it open as best as
she could with her leaning across the driver's seat.

       When they got home, Gena went on toward her bedroom getting a clean
gown and a pair of panties to put on after her shower as it was a workday
the next day. She could tell that Lara wanted to be invited along but she
figured one shared shower a day was enough and she was afraid of what the
shower would led to so she took her shower alone. Once she was under the
spray of the shower, she thought about her workday, normally she looked
forward to going back to work after a weekend off but she found that she
almost hated to go back in. She wanted to stay home and work on the house
with Lara. However with no job, there wouldn't be a house to fix up, so
that did make going back to work a little better. "Still it would be nice
to take another day..." Gena thought again before shaking her head clear of
that thought and went back to taking care of business and her business was
being a cop and supervising the deputies under her.

       When she entered the kitchen, she saw that Lara had reheated a cup
of coffee with the cream and sugar already in it, so all she had to do was
stir. She heard Lara go into the shower, so she sat down and looked around
the kitchen with the freshly painted ceiling and walls. Even with the doors
off the cabinets, the kitchen was already looking brighter. She would like
to completely redesign the kitchen but that would have to wait for another
day once the house was paid off and she could save up. She had just
finished off her cup when Lara came into the kitchen, freshly washed and
looking pretty in her pink gown and long black hair framing her face.

       "So you want to watch a movie or something before bed?" Lara asked
coming over to Gena as she stood up.

       "I wish I could, but I have to get up early and get into
work. Monday's are always busy and I like to get in there early." Gena said
seeing the frown come over Lara's face. "You can stay up if you want."

       "Nah... I'll go on to bed; I'm getting kind of tired too." Lara said
sadly.

       Gena wanted to change her mind and stay up but she knew that she
needed her sleep. "Why don't you check the doors and turn off the lights as
I get the coffee ready for tomorrow."

       "Okay," Lara said with a slight smile.

       Lara was standing in the light of her doorway of her bedroom when
Gena came out of the kitchen. As Gena approached, Lara opened her arms and
she had this shy smile on her face. Gena knew what she wanted and this
time, and it was something that she herself wanted, a nice goodnight kiss.

       Gena smiled at her as she opened her arms, pulling Lara to her, and
feeling Lara's arms go around her body grasping her tightly. Gena started
to look into Lara's eyes, when there was something behind of Lara that drew
her eyes away. She looked over Lara's shoulder and into Lara's bedroom,
Lara's bare bedroom, a bedroom that just had a small twin bed and an old
dresser. She had seen this bedroom since she had bought the place and it
didn't really mean anything to her until now. She was looking into the
spare bedroom that had become Lara's bedroom but she wasn't seeing it as
she always seen it before.

       "Oh god!" Gena gasped as she pulled back from Lara and walked into
the bedroom, looking around the room.

       "What's wrong?" Lara cried out with a worried expression on her face
as she came into the bedroom standing in front of Gena. "Did I do something
wrong?"

       Gena looked back at Lara and she saw the worried look on her face,
"Oh honey, you didn't do a thing wrong, I did."

       "What did you do wrong?" Lara asked with her face showing that she
was obviously still not so sure that it wasn't something that she had done
that was wrong.

       "I just realized that your room here is pretty much the same as the
room that your father made you live in. It is so..." Gena was saying then
she couldn't come up with the right word, not that there was a word to
describe it other than barren and lonely looking.

       "I don't mind, this is your house not his, and that makes all the
difference." Lara said softly.

       "But I do mind." Gena said as she walked around the room and really
looked at it but all she was seeing was that lonely room that Lara had
grown up in. "Well you're not going to sleep in here until we can make it
into something that you would want to live in, something a lot more
cheerful. We should have started the painting in here first and not the
living room or kitchen. And we should have gotten some pictures that you
would like to make it more yours."

       "Then where can I sleep?" Lara asked her.

       "I don't know, the couch isn't all that great a place to sleep
believe me I have fallen asleep on it before." Gena said then she turned
toward Lara who was smiling softly. The smile fooled Gena for a moment but
then it came to her just what Lara may have been smiling about. There was
only one more place to sleep in the house and that was her bed which did
have a very good mattress.

       End of Part Five.
