sat in an outside cafe near the city centre, sipping on some tea as she people watched. She could sit here all day, as long as the umbrella over her kept the sun from beaming down on her. She didn't know what >
to expect today, but for the most part she was open to anything. As long as it was more or less legal.
hugged the other randomly from behind with a wide grin. She had wanted to surprise her earlier but she had some important things to do. " Holly~~~"
covered her mouth so she didn't spit out her tea. She quickly swallowed it before taking a deep breath. "I'd say be careful, but I bet next time you'll forget, as you always do." She tilted her head to look >
back at the other. "I was starting to think you wouldn't show up."
leaned against the other with a cheeky grin. " Oh, my memory is never good with those sorts of things ja? At least I didn't forget~" She hummed, clearly excited to see the other.
felt it safe enough to continue drinking her tea as the other talked. "You never forget. If you did, I'd never let you live it down." She would forget her birthday, if it wasn't for the fact that the citizens >
get excited and the Dane is just as excited.
laughs and nods, standing up straight to let the other drink as she sat across from her. " As if I would let that happen. Known you for too long to forget these important things."
held her tea between her hands on the table. "So, if you never forget these important things, you must have planned a fun night for us, yes?" She raised her eye brow slightly, not expecting any actual plans.
wiggles about, " H-how did you guess?" She pouted at the other, actually having plans for once.
smiled at that and finished off the last sip of her tea. She was excited to see what her night would be like. "Where do we start? Does what I have on suffice for the events?"
stretched a bit, " The weather is amazing for a yacht ride plus some swimming. We can hit a spa and shop at a boutique. All expenses are paid on me of course." She winked to the other.
perked up when she heard the spa part. "All right. Let's go. This sounds like a fun day and sitting around here is wasting time." She got up from her spot, brushing her skirt down so it didn't stick to her.
lead the way after getting up. " I thought you might like a good day of relaxation."
got into step beside her, already feeling that today was a good day but now it would get better. "It is a nice treat, yes. I don't mind treated as long as it's in my benefit."
laughs and nods in agreement, " As it should be."
kept her eyes wondering around, watching her people celebrate still. "So what's our first stop, and how far is it?" She was still paying attention to the other, even if she wasn't looking at her.
glanced to the other, " Your place to grab some bathing suits. Can't swim or sunbathe without them~"
rolled her eyes and flipped her hand matter-of-factly. "Well, technically you can. It'd be a sight for others. And you do realize, if we go to a sauna later we won't be allowed to wear them, right?"
nods, " Well I brought my own for swimming not the sauna. Besides I prefer the traditional way of doing the sauna."
prepared her key for when they got to her house, unlocking the door before walking inside and taking her heels off. "It's the only way to become truly relaxed." She went off to get her swim suit, along with >
a towel and a few other supplies she'd need for the swim and spa adventures.
waited by the door for the other, humming away as she was prepared already for the day.
got everything she had in her hands into a bag that wouldn't clash with her outfit and got back to the door where she put her heels back on. "I'm ready for the night."
nods and led the way, " To the yacht first then~"
fell back in step with the female, glancing up to the sky as they walked. "This will be fun. I don't remember the last time I swam. It's been too long if I can't remember."
laughs and nods, " Swimming is good and fun after all. Besides, we've got a boat to sunbathe on once we're done."
ran her hand through her hair to get out a few tangles she felt. "I might not sunbathe too long. I'm not the best tanner in the world, and too much sun exposure can some times make me tired. Today is the last >
day I'd want to be tired. I especially don't want to ruin your plans."
nods, " I know but a bit of vitamin D won't hurt." She lead the way to the harbour where her boat was.
licked her lips to keep them moist before focusing back on what was in front of her. "Yes. You'd think I'd get enough with working in my garden all the time. But it keeps you happy, or so they say. Whoever
'they' are."
hums contently, glad to have her way now. " We'll be inside for the rest of the day after this so might as well use the chance."
wanted to get on with the action as it was now. She was getting more and more excited at the thought of them having a girls day.
lead the other to the port where the boat was docked. She had already conducted the maintenance and such earlier so they could leave any time.
never put it past the other to be prepared, especially when it involved boats. She hopped onto the boat, grabbing a railing to keep balanced. It would take her a moment or two to get her sea legs back.
went to get the boat started as she hummed contently. She put her stuff in the area where they could relax inside.
put her belongings where the other did as well, before walking back out and to the front of the boat. She put both hands on the railings and leaned on them, missing the feeling of a boat on the water.
started up the boat, pulling it slowly out of the harbour.
tightened her grips on the railings, not wanting to risk slipping and falling out of the boat. She leaned her head up and closed her eyes, feeling the nice gentle wind on her face. She respected the open water.
kept an eye on her as she sailed the boat out to a nice part of the waters.
kept her hands secured on the railings until they were mostly out of the harbour before she made her way carefully to where the other was controlling the boat. "Perfect weather for today, isn't it?"
nods in agreement, " Ja. Its a real blessing." She stated as she streered her boat.
kept a hand on a railing the full time, not wanting to risk testing her balance even though she knew it was spot on. "Do you have cold water stowed away?"
nods, " Mhmm. Where the cabin is." She pointed to the area since her boat was rather luxurious.
didn't move from her stance, simply nodding since she knew where it was now. "Just wanted to make sure. I don't want to get dehydrated after all the swimming we're going to do." She wouldn't mind if they even >
just continued on course and had the wind in her hair all day. Except for the fact they had other plans and it'd mean she'd have a harder time fixing her hair.
nods, " There's stuff in the kitchen fridge if you want." She eventually slowed the boat down at near a cove where swimming around wasn't too bad.
thought the water looked too inviting to ignore for long. "I don't want to fill my stomach before I go into the water. But maybe when we're done we can have a quick snack. Should we get our swim suits on now?"
nods, " Ja. There's a bathroom you can change in but its a bit cramped so change in the bedroom. I'm going to be docking the ship soon but take your time."
disappeared to the inside and rummaged through her back for her swim suit, picking it out once she found it. Considering the other would be busy docking she decided to change there, since there was more >
room and less chances of her hurting herself if there was an unsuspecting wave or occurrence.
dealt with the procedures after dropping the anchor. She didn't want the boat to be too close to shore.
reappeared once she had her swim suit on, settling on a two piece set today. She made the mistake of wearing a top that was tied in the back, and hoped for the others sake that she didn't try and undo her top.>
"Are there many rocks around the shoreline?"
shook her head, " Nej but let's not take any risks today." She stretched as she pulled off her shirt, wearing a two piece as well.
noted that down in her head as she stepped slowly back towards the other. "Well, we can take one risk, can't we?"
shrugs, putting her shirt to the side as she grabbed some towels. " Up to you if you want to enjoy the day fully."
took those odds and pushed her over the edge of the boat. She normally didn't act so playful, but when they were alone anything could, and generally would happen.
Dorthe
was
quite lucky she dropped the towels just when that happened. She flopped over with a surprised shout right into the water when that happened.
smiled at her success and crossed her arms on the railing. She leaned over and watched the other flail around at the unprepared swim.
stayed underwater however where she wasn't visible, intending on scaring the other.
had a feeling that would happen, but she wasn't as gullible anymore. "Dorthe, I know you're a great swimmer. It would take a lot for you to drown, no matter how unprepared the situation called for."
still stayed out of sight, able to hold her breathe more than the other would have expected.
tapped her nails against the railing, not going to be fooled this time. She had been gullible in the past, but she had gotten past that. She also knew how the Dane liked to make her worry about her.
kept pushing it to see how far Holly could last without seeing her surface.
began to feel a bit worried, but knew the Dane was pulling her leg. She looked around for some kind of device to poke down into the water to try and find her.
flipped the other right overboard after as she had snuck up behind her. " Up and over~!" She knew how to get revenge the classic way.
yelled out as she pushed her arms out in front of her to break the water, sinking underneath the surface. She quickly kicked back up to the surface and coughed once, glaring up. "Not fair. I never seem to >
have the upper hand with you."
grins as she leans over the railing. " My boat. So my rules~" She chuckles, diving into the water after near her.
waited until the other surfaced again before splashing her and retreating further away. "How typical of you, always your rules." She huffed playfully before dipping her head under the water to fix her hair.
tried to block it as she pouted. " I like my rules cause it means I'm always in charge." She stated half-jokingly.
raised her left eye brow as she locked eyes with the other. "Is that so?" She swam over, keeping her head above the water before getting up close in her space. "Even in bed?"
thought for a bit and shrugs, boastfully grinning. " Sure why not~" She found it funny and also right in a way.
splashed her right in the face. "You cheat! I didn't think you'd even take charge while in bed. Take a break for once." She shook her head at the others stubbornness.
blinks cluelessly before laughing at the other. " Why? What's so bad about being on top~?" She splashed the other in return.
returned the splashes, using as much force as she could while staying afloat. "Nothing! It's just funny to imagine you having rules while in bed! That's more something that Germany would do!"
snorts. " What can I say? I'm her neighbour too after all."
took a break from the splashing to keep herself floating. "At least I'm only known for being demanding. No one has been able to meet my expectations, however. Never."
swam on her back as she hums, " Maybe I did when you weren't looking~?" She wanted to find another reason to gloat.
needed to get her on that, so she went under the water and swam underneath her. She pushed her hands out of the water and grabbed the others hips, pulling her under in a quick, swift motion.
blinks and went straight underwater. She yelped a bit but knew she had it coming to her.
held her under for a responsible amount of time that was within a safe amount. She broke the surface again, taking in a deep breath as she waited for the other to reappear. She forgot how fun games like this >
were.
went to surface for air but not before latching onto the other to use as a counterweight. " Nice one there." She chuckled playfullly.
put her hand on the others face to push her away. "I have my moments, just as you have yours." She began floating on her back, fixing her top-tie to tighten it.
laughs as she moved away from the other, swimming on her back as well. " Ja ja~"
closed her eyes and spread out her arms once she had finished her task, feeling the water flow through her fingers and toes. She missed being submerged in this matter.
swam around happily in the meantime.
opened her eyes once again and turned her head enough to look at the female, though not enough for yer eyes to get in the water. "How long are we to float around like this until we need to get back to town?"
shrugs, " Up to you. We could leave sooner and spend more time at the spa."
weighed her options before swimming over near the other, not too close for obvious revenge reasons. "If we leave now, we could really get engrossed in the process and relax. Not that this isn't fun, it is. But>
the image of a sauna seems more inviting the more I think about it."
nods as she stretched and started swimming back. " Then to land we go~"
followed behind her, hoping she didn't mind leaving so soon. "Are you sure you don't mind going back now? I know how much you love water, and being on a boat."
shrugs, " We'll be close to being in water again with having to cool off in saunas since there's no snow. As for the boat, I can sail whenever I want."
couldn't see anything that negative then. She swam back to the boat, holding onto the edge and waiting for the other to climb up onto it first.
hopped back onto the boat easily using a side ladder. She offered a hand to Holly to help her up and out of the water.
took the hand and held a tight grip as she used the others strength as well as her own to easily pull herself out of the water. She shook her head to get off as much water from her hair as it would allow.
made sure the other was steady and firmly on deck before handing her a towel to dry up.
thanked her and used it to towel dry her hair as best she could before brushing it through with her hands. She spent a lengthy amount of time drying the rest of herself off, not wanting to track water around >
everywhere.
dried herself off as she yawned, " Go change first so I can change before we leave."
put her towel over the edge to dry a faint bit before walking back to the inside of the boat to change. She got back into the clothes she had on before, moving at a quick pace so she wouldn't waste time.
went to change after doing some checks on the deck and boat. She came out rather quickly after and had the boat start heading back to the harbour.
tightly gripped the railing near the other so they could talk if any conversation was to be made. She was enjoying herself, which she was glad about. She had gotten her hopes up because of the others promise >
earlier the months before. She hated it when her hopes were crushed, and it lead her to trust people less and less.
would never go back on a promise especially not one she made with Holly. " How's everything so far?"
watched the splashing water glisten in the light as they moved forward. "Good. And I feel things can only get better after a good day at the spa."
smiles with an agreeable nod. " Ja of course~"
gripped her fingers around the railing tightly. "The feeling of being in the sauna and feeling the toxins flush out is too positive to think of right now. I think that will be the highlight of my day."
brought the boat back to the harbour, having prepared a car for them to go straight to the spa place once they had docked and completed the necessary checks.
had considered jumping out but decided against that and waited for the other to finish tying up the boat. She did get her belongings so as to not forget them.
made sure everything was there and cleared. She left the boat with her own stuff and started to head to where the car was waiting for them.
followed closely behind the others heel, letting her lead the day. She was happy to be having this much fun with her best friend, and knew it could only get better with all the relaxing ideas they had planned.
opened the door for the other as she greeted the driver. Yeap, they had a chauffeur today as well.
hadn't thought the Dane would go this far out, especially since herself was always so cautious about money and funds. She would try not to let it bother her, and just enjoy the day.
figured it was worth it for Holly after all.
stepped into the vehicle and put her bag on her lap. "This is quite elaborate, Dorthe. You really didn't need to do this much. We could just have easily walked to the spa."
snorts, following after and sitting beside her." I ain't spending the day walking to a spa. Time is precious ja?" She told the chauffeur to drive them to the spa and off they went.
watched the outside views as they flew past. "Yes, time is precious. But so is money." She pinched herself after for mentioning money, trying to keep it out of her mind.
shook her head, " I told you its on me and its part of my bday present to you."
tucked hair behind her ear before she looked over to Dorthe. "As long as you have as much fun as I do, I won't regret going along with this. Is it a deal?"
grins, " It's only if you can match up to me not the other way around." She joked lightly, patting the other on the back.
knew she would have a fantastic time. She couldn't wait to relax with a great massage, then some time in the sauna. She hadn't even thought about what possibilities there could be for dinner right now, as her >
mind was fully focused on the events that were soon to come up.
waited for the car to come to a halt. They were going to a pretty high class place as she figured it was well suited for the other's tastes. She got out and lead the way after.
Angelien
was
quick to exit the car and fall in step with Dorthe. She loved being treated to high class extravagances. "I'm not sure how I'll be able to pay you back, Dorthe. But I will figure something out one day."
rolls her eyes, " You paid me a while back in the past with stuff I can't keep tally of. Just enjoy it and don't worry." She went to the reception desk, speaking to the lady there.
kept behind the other as her eyes wondered the lobby area. It looked so clean, fresh, and relaxing. She couldn't wait to remove her clothes and spend the next few hours in comfort.
hummed as they were lead away to the area to change and have a quick shower before the sauna.
had practically taken her shirt off just as they got into the room to change. She folded it up before removing her other articles of clothing, making it all neat and tidy to put away for safe keeping. She >
walked to the showering area right after to wash herself down.
put her own stuff in a basket as she removed her own clothing. She went to wash up in the stall next to her.
could have broken out in song if she felt confident enough to. She was that happy to be doing this all. "So what's up first for us?" She went to get a towel after, just to pat dry her face and body.
smiles, " Sauna to relax first."
grabbed a towel and put it around herself, only using it to cover until she found the sauna. She followed the signs to get there, making sure the Dane was following her. "You know I like it hot, right?"
chuckles as she grabbed a towel and stayed beside her. " Good enough for a nice sweat but not too boiling hot."
took off the large towel and hung it up on a hook just outside the sauna before picking up a small towel to sit on once inside. "I want to leave this with rosy red skin. And to the point where I could sleep >
for hours upon afters once I leave."
chuckles and nods, " Ja of course. About three rounds should do before we have a nice massage and facial treatment after." She hung her own towel on the side before taking a small one to head inside the sauna.
walked inside, letting her feet adjust to the hot floor before going to the bench near the coals and putting the towel down. She sat on it after, getting comfortable in her spot. She leaned her back against >
the hot wood, taking a deep and quick breath. It was always a shock to her system, but it helped the heat spread through her body.
hummed contently as she found an nice spot to just lie down and enjoy. " You can adjust the heat with the rocks and water, it's the old fashioned way."
crossed a leg over the other as she brushed her hair back behind her ears. "I noticed. That might be a bit dangerous." She poured some water over the rocks, watching the room quickly fill with steam. She >
loved the feeling of the heat on her skin.
chuckles as she relaxed, " Well the worst thing that'll happen is that you'll be cooked but obviously I won't let that happen."
shut her eyes loosely and brought her arms up to rest on arm rests near her. They were just as hot as all the wood around them, which made her take a long deep breath. "I wonder how funny it would be if we >
did stay in here too long and become cooked. The poor soul who comes in next would die of fright."
hummed softly as she opened an eye briefly to look at her. " That would be fun but you'll miss out the rest of the day's activities."
felt the sweat already start to roll down her body. "Yes. I'll be hungry after we're done at the spa. And after this I want a full body massage. Everything else will just be bonuses."
chuckles as she was enjoying the heat, " Anything you want to eat in particular then? We can order it."
licked some sweat off her lips. "I'm not sure for an actual meal, but I want fruit. Like nice big segments of fruit. Like watermelon. And peaches." That sounded ideal for her right now.
nods slowly, " I have them bring some to us while we soak in the pool to cool off."
pushed back hair from her eyes, not wanting the strands to sting. "Make sure there's ice cold water, too. I could drink a barrel full."
rolls her eyes, " Ja of course."
closed her eyes and kept brushing her hair back. "I can't wait to touch my skin once we're out of here. I always love how fresh it feels."
chuckles, " It'll be even better after a massage."
curved her lips upwards at the thought. "I won't even want to move after this whole treatment. I should see if there'd be anyone who would want to carry me home."
shrugs, " I can guarantee you'll get home in one piece and maybe with a good looking stud."
wiped some sweat from her forehead. "That's not a far fetched idea. But then we wouldn't be able to have a girls night. Besides, you're more important than a one night stand."
