The orange sun was just about to sink completely into the roaring waves of the nearby beach when the girls arrived at the foot of Alex's property, just at the gate. They were somewhat tired, as they had just been on a flight where they had not gotten any sleep.
"Damn that baby," Anna commented as she fought to stifle a rising yawn. "How did the mother not manage to calm it down for the entire flight?"
Claire nodded in agreement. "I hate crying babies!"
The three girls watched as Alex coded in the security code for the massive dark gate. It creaked, moving slowly as the ornate barrier opened, allowing access to the house. "Welcome to the house!" Alex announced with a grin, stretching out her arms.
"Holy... House? More like a freaking villa!" Claire exclaimed in surprise, incredibly impressed at the structure in front of her.
Alex merely smiled as the girls happily strolled to the front door, where she pulled out a set of keys and pushed them into the lock. On the inside, the house was even more glamorous. With high ceilings and marble floors, it was truly a beautiful sight. The fatigue that had been cast over them was now dispelled by the glamor of the house.
As the girls ooh-ed and ahh-ed about the tasteful decorations and the spectacular paintings, Alex walked around and turned on all the lights, illuminating the mansion. "This is where we'll be relaxing for the next little while..."
"Damn, Alex, this place is really, really nice," Claire gushed. "Is there a pool?"
"Yup, there is. It's right in the back. Want to go see?" When the girls nodded, Alex dropped her bags and began to lead them to the backyard, where what seemed like a million lights lit up an otherwise dark background.
Right in the ground, covered by a tarp, was a large rectangular figure. The girls all helped Alex shift the tarp off the pool ground. Alex flipped a switch, and the girls uttered a collective gasp when the beautiful blue of the illuminated pool came into view. "It should be heated too," Alex grinned. "Not that we need it in this heat."
Claire wasted not a second in pulling off her pure white top, revealing her flirty pink bra. She threw that aside too, and soon enough, her gorgeous body was completely naked. As the girls watched, she dove into the pool, resurfacing with a huge grin on her face. "Come in! The water's fine..." She laughed. Having always been the sexually open one in the group, Claire had no problem with nudity.
"Hold on, let me grab some drinks!" Alex skipped over to the mini-bar, grabbing several beers out of the slick white fridge. "Ice cold!" She exclaimed, passing around the green glass bottles.
"Damn Alex, this place is heaven. Can I stay here forever?" Gabby giggled as she took a swig of alcohol, feeling the icy liquid make its way down her throat.
"Come in, guys!" Claire goaded. "Nothing to be afraid of, it's just a little nudity..." She all but chugged her own drink. Nothing like a good buzz to get things going... Claire laughed.
"Alright, I'm coming in!" Anna chimed in, stripping down to her birthday suit and hopping into the water.
One by one, they all made their way into the pool, smiling as the warm water washed over their bodies. God, it felt so amazing. Alex was the fastest swimmer and they all had a great deal of difficultly catching her after she raced around the pool with a new bottle of beer. Before long, they were all quite tipsy, not completely drunk yet.
They sat in the hot tub, feeling the jets massage their tender skin as they relaxed. "It feels so good to be free, especially after finals and graduation. This was a really good idea, Alex," Anna giggled, her long dark hair in strands around her pretty face. "You always have the best ideas."
"Agreed!" Claire laughed as she held up her almost empty bottle. "To Alex!"
"Guys!" Alex blushed as the other three clinked their glasses together. "I'm just glad you're all enjoying yourselves."
"Of course we are! I mean, look at this place! Gorgeous mansion, sweet pool, hot tub..." Anna let out a satisfied sigh. "Hey, you know what we should do?"
Gabby raised an eyebrow. Anna's ideas were usually wild, but always fun. "What?"
"Let's play truth or dare. Like we used to! It's been so long..." Anna grinned, a look that she knew the other girls couldn't say no to.
"What are we, in high school?" Claire teased. But since Anna looked so happy she decided to just concede. "Okay, okay, let's play."
"Let me go first!" Anna exclaimed, her face red from the effects of the alcohol and the heat of the hot tub. She turned towards the long haired brunette to her right, Claire. "Claire... Truth or dare?"
Claire was an adventurous one, and Anna knew what she would pick already. "Dare," Claire cheerfully exclaimed, causing a knowing smile to play on Anna's lips.
"Okay, okay, I dare you..." Anna started as she pointed a perfectly manicured finger at Claire, then moved to point to Gabby, "to kiss Gabs." Anna giggled as she watched Claire's expression change into one of amusement.
"Alright, fine," Claire laughed too, moving closer to the pretty Filipino girl, who stared at her friend with big round eyes. "Ready?"
"When you are."
Claire pressed her lips to Gabby's wet ones, and pulled away within a second. "Okay, it's done!" She called to Anna.
"Doesn't count!" Anna shook her head. "Give her a real kiss!"
Claire sighed as she turned back to Gabby, and with surprising force, crushed her lips onto Gabby's, tasting the alcohol as their mouths opened and Claire's small pink tongue snaked between the lips. They continued to kiss for more than five seconds, and when Claire finally pulled away, Gabby was breathless.
