Chapter 19

That weekend, I leave one of the counselors in charge while Shannon and I go away for the weekend. We go out to San Francisco. We rent a hotel room and head out to get a bite to eat and do a little shopping. "Thanks for this Liv. I don't remember the last time I was able to just take a trip with a friend." she tells me. "I thought you could use a little time, just us girls. Now, tell me how things are with you and Ope." I tell her. "Things are great. We finally slept together and I don't think it's ever been that good. He's so good to me." she tells me. "I told you he's a good one." I tell her. "How long have you guys been best friends?" she asked. "Since we were like five years old. We grew up together." I tell her. "How'd you end up with Juice?" she asked. Deciding to be honest with her I said "Opie and I have a history and realized that we didn't want to mess up our friendship and I was upset. Juice stayed with me and took care of me while I had a breakdown and when he did, we fell for each other. I love Juice. Opie has been one of my best friends most of my life. Opie was a little protective at first but he's good with me being with Juice now." I tell her. "Oh." she says, looking down. "Shannon, Opie and I were never meant to be anything but best friends. We were never a couple. Nothing ever synced up for us. But you? It's like you both just fell into place perfectly." I tell her. "Yeah. We did." she says and blushes a little.

We eat and then head out to do some shopping. "How about we have a little fun. Tease our men a little." I tell her. "How?" she asks. "There's a lingerie shop. Let's try on a few things and send them pictures. Maybe buy a few things to take home." I tell her. "That sounds like fun." she says. We head into the shop and pick out a few things to try on. Heading to the dressing rooms, we start trying on things. I put on a two piece, black and purple bra and boyshorts set with stockings and garters. Taking the picture I sent it to Juice. Holy fuck babe. Please tell me you're buying that? He texted me. The next one is a one piece, black and royal blue teddy and texted the picture. Fuck me. Shit babe. You're killing me. He texted back. I come out and Shannon comes out as well. She shows me the texts that she sent Opie and his responses. I showed her the ones with Juice and we started laughing. "You're right. That was fun." she tells me.

We head back to the hotel and order room service. Sitting on the balcony she says "Thanks for this. Really. I forgot what it was like to have friends." Smiling, I say "We're family doll. But this has been fun. We really gotta do this again." I tell her. We head to bed to head home the next morning. I got the text from Juice that the garden is done and we can head back first thing.

The next morning, we head home and I pull up to Shannon and Opie's house. We get out and Opie walks out with Juice with him. We walk up to our men and hug and kiss them hello before we walk into the house. "How was your trip?" Opie asked. "We had fun. Thanks for letting me go." Shannon tells him. "I didn't let you do anything. You want to do something, you don't have to ask permission." he tells her. She nods and snuggles into his side. "I want to show you something." Opie says as he takes Shannon's hand. Walking out to the back deck, Juice and I follow. As soon as she sees the garden, she stands there shocked as the tears fall down her cheeks. "Opie. This is amazing." she says as she turns to him. "You like it?" he asked. "I love it." she says. "I wanted to do something nice for you. Something to show you I care about you." he tells her. She kisses him softly and says "I care about you too. Thank you for this." she says and he kisses her softly while Juice and I slip out the door, leaving the couple alone.
