1001 Words
Jessica and Lizzy got to the Eko tourist resort and for the first time, Jessy knew she would be having a lot of fun. They had both talked endlessly on their way there, though almost all the references Lizzy was making were of the gossips she has heard ever since Jessica got married. She also talked about her own sudden popularity as the friend of Andy Williams wife.
When they got to the beach, Lizzy starred at the wide expanse of the water. She was putting on shorts and a top with a dark sunshade.
She wanted to play in the water but one glance at Jessica got her angry.
"You're not entering the water with this long gown are you? she gave Jessica a questioning look.
"What is wrong with this dress? I just knew you would begin another lecture here again"Jessica sighed
Lizzy smiled and said "No darling, I am not giving you a lecture here I'm just giving you a dress up, you're the most beautiful SU I have ever seen, once I am done you will be good as new" Lizzy grinned.
"Did you bring a full wardrobe with you? Jessy asked
"I am sure I could use scissors and blade to bring out a new design from your clothes, come on let's go"
They entered the beach house and Lizzy opened her mouth in astonishment "This place is heavenly Jessy" she murmured with her eyes wide open. All this while, Jessica has been thinking of how to stop Lizzy from entering her room. She knew that with one glance, Lizzy would know Andy never slept in that room.
"Why don't you wait here Lizzy, while I go in and change" she finally said.
"And have you changed into another mother in Israel gown? no darling let's go"
"Lizzy the room is meant for Andy and I alone, stay here I promise to put on something you would like" she shined her teeth looking at her.
"I doubt it but what can I do? even if you have to change multiple times, you would wear what I approve today go on" she shrugged and ordered.
"Yes your majesty" Jessica was gone for some minutes while Lizzy took in the beautiful sights before her. She brought out her camera and started taking pictures.
Back to Jessica in the room. Jessica stared at a large number of clothes most of which she hadn't worn for a long time. She knew Lizzy enough to know that she won't rest until she had her way.
Lizzy was busy taking pictures of the beautiful parrot she sighted at the balcony when the door opened . She turned with the mind of condemning whatever Jessica was putting on but her jaw dropped when she saw the figure before her. She walked towards Jessica slowly and Jessica had a knowing smile on her face.
"Snap out of it woman, it is a crime for a woman to be looking at another woman like that" Jessica said with a grin
"Holy Mary mother of Jesus " Lizzy exclaimed "Look at our own SU, babe turn around and let me see you na"
"Come on stop and let's go" Jessica said and as she made to go Lizzy pulled her back. "Stand here let me give you some shots, I must show the girls" Jessica had no choice than to stand still while Lizzy took pictures of her.
Jessica was putting on a three quarter green trouser which clung to her legs like a second skin and a butter coloured sleeveless top.
Lizzy had always known her friend was gifted with a perfect body that any man would kill for but she never imagined this. She almost found herself being jealous of her friend's curves and waist. "I think my next action is to burn all those 1980 clothes you have in your wardrobe" she finally spoke.
"In your dreams! Let's go now before I change my mind" Jessica was already feeling creepy.
"Ofcourse darling we can't waste this cloth, I just wished Andy was here"Jessica shrugged
Jessica had a very nice time playing in the beach but men were constantly disturbing her. Her irritation towards men increased when she realized that their only appeal towards her was her body.They could almost stripped her naked with their eyes. Though Lizzy was also receiving her own fair of admirers, she had come to Jessy's rescue by waving off the advances of men telling them that she was married.
"Men are so stupid, the only thing they are after is s*x " Jessica murmured.
Lizzy smiled and bent to pick up a shell. "Then I guess you're lucky to get married to someone who does not have s*x as his priority"
"s*x is not even on his list" Jessica said without thinking and almost bite off her tongue, Lizzy laughed silently turning towards Jessica. "You must be kidding, every man wants s*x unless he is impotent"
Jessica swallowed her spit "Yes of course I was just saying that s*x is not Andy's priority, love comes first"
"I am of the opinion that love comes along with attraction, I mean physical attraction". " Of course" Lizzy looked at her but Jessica felt uncomfortable.
"Are you hiding something from me?
Jessica though of a safe landing and said"We all have got something to hide"
"True, but is there something I need to know? Lizzy further asked
"Like what? Jessica asked
"I don't know, maybe like why you don't look like a newlywed" Lizzy answered
Jessica packed slightly and said "I got married just four days ago, besides how am I suppose to look?
Lizzy was about to say something but she stopped and smiled "I was pulling your legs girl" she looked up and grabbed Jessica hand suddenly. "See that wave, I won't miss it"
The tension oozed out of Jessica as she raced with Lizzy towards the water, though she knew that Lizzy wasn't merely pulling her legs.
