The Camping Trip: Fun, Friends and Frolic

[TrippingBilly]

Randy

I was only buzzing now, and a swim sounded pretty good. I walked down to the water hole "I'll take care of Tara," I announced. I dove into the water and poked up right in front of Tara, giving her a little smile. I held her up straight, making sure she didn't go under and drown.

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I grinned up at Steve and nodded. "Retreat does seem to be the best course of action," I said as I eyed the sputtering Tara and, with a laugh, broke into a run back to the campsite.

Sitting down and trying to catch my breath I watched him come in right on my heels and flop down beside me. Smiling, I said,"You know, with a little practice you could be downright wicked."

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

"Practice?", I wonder, "Sweetie, its all I can do to keep myself from getting into too much trouble. Remember in 8th grade when you had the halloween costume with all of the ballons on it? I was this close to popping them to see what you had on underneath. "

Oh, damn. Did I just say that. I start to blush as I realize I've said seomthing I really didnt want her to know about.

Shit!

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I looked over at him a bit shocked and then burst out laughing. "Well, darlin, you should have asked. I just might have given you the pin," I said with a wink before getting up and going over to get more punch. I put a bit more sway in my hips than I usually did and I had to hide the smile on my face. I wondered exactly what he was thinking after my comment.

It must have been the strength of the punch that had me acting this way and seeing Steve in such a different light. "Get a grip on yourself," I thought,"Your acting like a first class street walker."

 

[Neale]

Bill Potter

With Roxi this close, time seemed to slow to a crawl...

I could hear the others having fun on shore, but my full attention was placed on this lovely lady... this lovely, NAKED lady in the water with me. Suddenly, she swam right up to me, treading water lightly.

"Uh... punch is good," I said, grinning and blushing foolishly. She'd had that effect on me since the day we met in Senior English last year.

Neither of us were terribly afflicted with body shyness or a nudity taboo, so we simply got out of the water and walked over to where the punch was waiting. I grabbed a towel from my pack, and tossed it over to Roxi, then grabbed one for myself. I got a couple of plastic cups and filled them, handing one to Roxi. "Cheers!"

I drank mine, and nearly started coughing... "Damn, guys! What the hell did you PUT in this?"

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

It was a good thing Angel got up after making that comment about giving me the pin. That we she didnt see my jaw bounce off the log and rest on the ground. What?? Is she serious or just pulling my leg?

I look at her retreating form as she gets another drink, and I'd swear she is swaying her hips just to tease me. I'll put that on the back burner for now. Till to put those years of working at a resturant to work.

"Hey guys, its getting close to dinner time. I'm about ready to throw some steaks and potato's on. What does everyone else want?"

 

[Isolde]

Angel

At Steve's comment about dinner, my stomache growled letting me know just how hungry I really was. Turning, I called out,"Make mine well done. I want to know that puppy is dead and gone when I cut into it!"

Grabbing my drink, I walked over to where my backpack and other supplies for this camping trip lay and begin to unpack with a sigh of resignation.

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

"Well done? Ok, but its cheaper if you just eat on of these charcoal brickets, and the taste is about the same April." I noticed how she seemed in kind of a huff all of the suddden.

Is she upset that I just kinda shot down her playing? Hmmm. I better let her know that I am still interested. I look over and see her bending over at the waist, looking into her pack. I quitely walk about behind her and place my hand on her ass. "Pack anything in there for me?"

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I stood up with a yelp as I felt his hands on my ass and whirled around. This brought me into the position of facing Steve directly, my breasts slightly brushing against him. At that point all of the angry retorts I had on the tip of my tongue left me. I simply couldnt think. I looked up into his eyes and swallowed.

"Not unless you are into bras and panties," I said in a very low, trembling voice. Very unlike my boisterous, confident, flirting self.

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

Damn. I think I've broken through the cool and confident Angel. i look down into her hazel eyes and I feel like I am diving deep into her soul.

"Well, if you are in them, I'd be happy to help you get out of them. Does that count?"

Damn.. I think as I hear the food starting to burn. I turn and use the tongs to move the food out of the hotest part of the flame and just on the edge of the grill.

I turn back around and I see you staring at me, like you've never met me before. "What?"

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I was looking at Steve as he bent over to save the food. "Nice ass," I say under my breath and then I catch him looking at me. "What?" he says and I turn away, trying to catch my breath again.

"Oh nothing. Just remember I like mine well done," Kneeling by my back pack, I flash him a teasing smile,"In fact I like everything in my life well done."

Hah! The old Angel was back.

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

"Yeah Yeah. One piece of charcol coming up." I pull my steak of the grill and the potato out of the coals. Just right. I wait for another minute or two as Angels food finsihes cooking.

"Here is your dinner maam" as I present her with her plate. "and I have an excellent dessert for you, if you have any room left."

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I accepted the food gratefully and stuck my tongue out at Steve for his comment. Before digging in, I shot hm a glance and said,"I never turn down dessert."

With a chuckle I begin eating the meal and had to admit that it was great. Steve was quite the cook.

 

[a1stories]

"Hey, it's my secret punch. I promised I would never tell. It's good though, isn;t it?" I asked, taking a long drink and feeling the alcohol burn my throat. "Wow, it is pretty strong. Maybe I put too much in. Oh well, we'll just get smashed faster!" I then went and joined the gang in the lake.

 

[Imoen]

Roxi

I tuck the towel around me securely and make my way back to camp, plopping down unceremoniously down next to Angel and slidding up close. "What'cha got there oh-bestest-bud-o'mine? Potato?! Steak?! Woohoo! Don't you rate!" Pointing to the charred piece of meat that rested on her plate. "That is a steak isn't it?" I glanced up at Steve with a teasing grin, "You know when you do that cajun blackened stuff it really doesn't mean all the way through."

I dart my tongue out playfully at Steve's mock glare, before turning to accepting the cup of 'punch' from Bill.

"Thank you!" I smile my thanks up to Bill as I take a long sip from the cup. My eyes immediately begin to water and I convulse in a coughing fit as the alcohol burns its way down my throat. "Good gawd awwwwwwwmighty!!! Are you trying to kill me?!" I laughingly ask as I recover my breath, "First you nearly drown me NOW you're trying to poison me!!! I mean if you really don't want me around, Bill, you can just tell me! Geeez!!"

 

[Neale]

Bill

"Oh, sorry, sweetheart..." Bill was smirking a bit, "here, I'll make you a nice, gentle girly drink. I know I packed some pink umbrellas around here somewhere..."

 

[Imoen]

Roxi

My eyes narrowed to tiny slits, glittering dangerously as my hand snaked out like a whip to snatch away the towel that was wrapped around him. Smiling up at him with a smug little smirk as he was unveiled before all present.

"thankyouVERYmuch, darling," The sarcasm literally dripping off the word, "but no. I'll stick with what I've got."

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

"Tell me about it Roxi. Here Angel is, she ordered her steak well done. I told her I had a piece of charcol for her, but she wanted the steak blackened, who am I to argue."

"I dont want to show favorites here, would you like something Roxi?"

I see that evil twinkle in her eye as she eyed Bill. She yanked the towel away from him and I had to stiffle a laugh. "I see you've found your own meat for this evening. "

 

[TygerEyez]

Tara

The water clings to my face as I splutter. I hate the water!! I mean, I can swim, but since last summer, it holds a strange fear for me. I struggle away from Randy as he holds me still in the coldness. I try to make a joke of it, but it comes out strangled and pained. "Leggo, Randy. I can swim just fine."

I hurry my way to shore, and grab the nearest towel, wrapping it around my shoulders. "That wasn't fucken funny!" I shout, letting my temper get the best of me. I shouldn't be angry at them... I never told them what had happened. But the fear takes control of my emotions for the moment, and I can only shiver slightly.

Still shaking in fear and anger, I find a place to stand near Andy. He's probably my closest friend on this trip, and right now, I just need to stand by him and calm down. He has that affect on me.

Besides.. he's the only one who knows.

ooc: Sorry a1. I created an ally for Tara.. didn't mean to put you into a position you didn't want. I can change if you like...

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

I look at Tara as she scurries out of the water and up to the campsite. I see her face twist in anger as she yells at us for throwing her in the water. But there is more than that in her voice. I wonder what happened to her?

"I'm sorry if we scared you Tara. We were just having a little fun. "

 

[TrippingBilly]

Randy

I felt awful as Tara ran away from me. I didn't MEAN to hurt her, I was just goofin around. I hopped out of the water, grabbed 2 cups and filled them up. I walked over to Tara, who was sitting next to Andy, and put the cup down in front of her.

I put my hand on her shoulder and said "I know we haven't been the BEST of friends throughout high school, but I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just being an idiot. If you need to talk or somethin, just tell me..." I pulled my hand away before she could respond and walked off.

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I threw a glare at Roxi.

"Oh and I should have to chase my meat down like you do?," I laughed as she pulled the towel off of Bill. "See my point?"

I was about to say something further when I noticed Tara coming out of the water and she did not seem happy. In fact she seemed more than a little frightened.

Damn! I had done it again. My and my impulsive tendencies. Now I had gone and gotten the weekend off to a lousy start all because I didnt think before I did something.

Suddenly I had lost my appetite. Setting my plate and cup on the ground, I mumbled something about having to set up my tent before going over to my backpack to unpack it.

 

[indyweasel]

Steve

I saw Angel's reaction to Tara and I could see that she was upset. Damn.. I dont want all of these woman mad at each other all weekend. That will definetly take the fun out of this.

I walk over to April and place my hand on her shoulder. "Hey, we were just playing around, we didnt know that she would freak like that. Its not our fault. Obviously, something is up with her and water that we dont know about. I look at her getting the stuff out for her tent. "Does this mean you arent accepting my invitation for sleeping araingments?"

 

[Isolde]

Angel

I almost flinched when he placed his hand on my shoulder, not because I didnt like the feel of his hand there but because I had a tendency to pull away from others when I was mad at myself.

"No," I said as I unpacked my bedroll and other things,"It is my fault. Its just one more stupid stunt that I have managed to add to a growing list. All because I dont think about what I am going to do before I do it."

I sighed and let my stuff drop to the ground. Who was I kidding? I didnt know the first thing about camping much less setting up a tent or how to survive in the wild. I had come simply because Roxi had asked me to. Beyond that I hadnt a clue what I was doing.

"Dont worry about me," I said to Steve as I kicked my tent which was bundled up on the ground. "I will manage I always do." I gave him a half hearted smile trying to reassure both of us that I could get along.

 

[Neale]

I'd forgotten about Roxi's reflexes... the woman had moves! So, I was standing there in front of all our friends, totally naked and slightly drunk... only one thing to do... I somehow put the smirk back on my face, and said

"Yeah, Roxi... but do you know exactly what it is you've got? Me." And I moved closer to her, letting my interest show quite plainly in the 'gentlemanly reflex' that her barely covered body was causing to rise. By the time I got my arms around her, she could very easily feel how much she turned me on, and everyone else could very easily see it!
