Chapter Three - Smoke in the morning’s light
Streaks of brilliant oranges and amazing yellows painted the sky over Camp Pawa, as the sun broke the darkness of night. Morning was breaking over the sleepy lake in spectacular fashion, bringing a new day to the land. As it rose, the warming rays lifted a light fog off the lake surface and let the very light breeze drift it away.
Mandy awoke slowly, after having a half restless and half fitful sleep. She opened her eyes and let out a small groan, wanting nothing more than to be back sleeping right then. As the girl layed there, she suddenly an urge from her body telling her she needed to pee, an knew that she could not dismiss it easily. Looking up at a old hand made clock that was hanging on the wall, it told her that it was a little after five in the morning.
The girl groaned and shoved her face into the pillow, as she was not having to be up for another hour and a half for breakfast. Despite the time, nature was cruelly urging her to get up and empty her bladder. She tried hard to fake her body out by convincing it that she did not have to go and that she should go back to sleep, but her body was not buying it. It felt like her own small frame was trying to hold back a waterfall, and it was threatening it was not going to work. Sighing and beginning to make her arms and legs move, she knew she had to pul herself out of bed and go.
The room was very still at this time, only the breathing of everyone else sleeping could be heard. Mandy identified that Donna was snoring away like mad in her bed, yet found that it was a little surprising that the snores were not even close to what volume it usually was blaring out at. The girl give herself a muffled giggled, as Donna’s nocturnal rumbles were still a little funny to hear.
She donned the nightshirt that she had discarded the night before, to protect her against both her own modesty and the cool morning air she expected when going to the bathroom cabin that was only a few feet away from her cabin. Now covered, Mandy crept up to her feet, and made no sound whatsoever as she began to cautiously walk to the door.
The girl looked over to her left as she moved, and noticed that CC’s bed was empty and the skull and rose teeshirt was also not there. She had to simply surmise that the new girl also had to get up and use the bathroom in a hurry. Knowing how badly she felt the need to go, she could understand CC’s quick departure very clearly. Hurrying her feet as she went for the door, she knew that of she would pause any longer, it just might lead to a very embarrassing situation happening.
She quietly made her way out of the cabin door, trying her hardest not to accidentally wake anyone up as she exited. She strained to listen just outside of the doorway, and their was no indication that anyone was even stirring in any of the beds, and that made Mandy relax a little, but her need to pee was getting bad. She leaped off the little step and started to quick walk her way across the grass, as now it was getting more than urgent to get to the facilities, or she may end up watering the ground.
A minute after rushing into the bathroom, the girl felt so much better after she came out of the stall, but now was puzzled as well. The bathroom area was empty when she hurried into a stall top relief herself. With the other stalls standing open, she could clearly see that CC was not in there like she thought. She just assumed that the girl might have gone for a early walk around the camp after using the bathroom, and she just should only head herself back to bed to get a little more sleep.
As she made her way back to Cabin five, she caught sight of someone standing out on the far side of the cabin, hidden by some cover made by a few straggly trees that grew next to the building. She kept walking towards the cabin and smiled, already figuring out just who this would be standing there in the light coolness of the morning air. Getting even closer, she figured out who this person was. It was the missing CC, who she had found was standing out on this crisp and clean dawn.
The girl was standing there, leaned up against the outer wall of the cabin, still dressed only in the skull teeshirt. She seemed not to be bothered by the coolness, as her long lean legs that were prevalent in the growing light of morning, seemed not even to be goosebumped. In CC’s hand was a lit cigarette that dangled loosely between two fingers as a plume of smoke rose as she exhaled.
CC spotted the approaching Mandy, and her face broke out into a very inviting smile. The smaller girl waved to her and headed straight over to her. The goth girl waited for the girl to near, never once trying to his the fact she was smoking.
" Morning..." Mandy greeted as soon as she was close enough..
" Hey!" CC said, eyeing the girl.
CC broke another smile as she flicked an ash from her smoke. She stood herself up a little straighter, but did not stop herself from leaning against the wall, as she was comfortable in that position. She looked at the petite girl that had joined her, and seemed to almost pause for a split second.
" Dare I ask if you slept well last night" The goth girl inquired, smirking with a seemingly mischievous way as she raised one of her eyebrows.
" I really did." Mandy said, deciding not to spill that her dreams had consistently been all about the girl most of night.
" I know the feeling! Sleepin’ naked has always had that effect on me, been sleeping that way since I was ten.." CC giggled with great delight, turning around in place with her hand outstretched to accent her words. " Freedom... that is what it’s all about."
Mandy laughed at the animated gestures CC did. Even though she had ended up dreaming all night long, she had to admit that sleeping ‘au naturel’ like she had really did make for a good nights sleep. She never had slept naked before this, but now thinking on how she had slept, she just decided that she might do it for a little longer. She smiled, agreeing with the girl’s insight.
" You up early...." She commented, then smirked. " Had to go to the bathroom too or what?"
" That was first thing I needed this morning... then I really needed a smoke..." CC said with a snicker and a roll of her eyes. " I don’t smoke much, but I do usually end up needing at least one in morning." She smiled a little more and took a small drag from cigarette. " Tell me somethin’... Do they make coffee here for us campers or what?"
" I hope they still do..." Mandy commented, knowing that was what she would be scouting around for the very same thing in about ninety minutes. Coffee and her were very well acquainted by now. " I need one myself."
" Ah... Beauty!" The goth girl said happily. " Good news straight from a fellow coffeeholic."
Mandy just stayed with the pretty goth girl, watching the much taller girl smoke away and found it was nearly memorizing to watch. Even if she wanted to go back in, Mandy probably would not have. She just stayed where she was, enjoying watching CC and appreciating the quiet of the morning
The gothic girl looked over and grinned, then stuck out her arm. In her had she held out the open pack for Mandy
" How rude am I? You smoke?" CC said, giving herself a playful slap on the forehead. " If you do, go ahead and grab one.... I brought a few packs with me for good measure."
Mandy had smoked occasionally over the last few years. Her and Lacy had tried it many times together. Neither one had actually picked up the habit, but Mandy found that she did enjoy having one once in awhile... and the one that CC was smoking did smell so very inviting this morning.
" I have a few times.." She said, reaching for one cigarette in the pack.
CC suddenly pulled the pack away from Mandy’s hand and looked at the girl with a small smile. Looking back at CC’s odd expression, the girl was not really sure just what this was all about.
" Do you smoke regularly?" CC posed the question, sounding somewhat concerned.
" Just off and on..." Admitted the small girl.
" You sure of that? Your not just doing this crap because I am?" She asked, then paused. Suddenly she let out a laugh and looked at Mandy. " I have this hunch that your are not following me just to follow. Someone who follows would not get herself fully naked to back up someone she has barely met, who was already standing in the middle of strangers totally buck-assed naked."
" Just me, I guess." Mandy said with a crack of a grin and a shy shrug of her shoulders. " I felt like that was the right thing to do... Tracy was being such a pain in the ass to you."
" I applaud you then for ‘baring’ it all to help me." The goth girl announced, bowing her head to the smaller gal.
" It was ‘barely’ a problem for me.." Mandy said, her cheeky side showing through to CC.
" Funny!" Said the goth girl, shaking her head.
CC offered her the pack up again, with a smile and a nod. Mandy thanked her and took one smoke out and placed it between her lips. The goth girl leaned in closer, firing up the lighter so the girl could use the flame to start the cigarette, her eyes seemed to meet with Mandy’s for a moment.
Mandy leaned in herself, getting close enough to light up. With the girl now so close to her, Mandy found herself enthralled with a glorious mixture of cigarette smoke harmoniously winding together with the girl’s faint but distinct musky odor, the locking of her gaze with CC’s seemed to really heighten everything ten fold.
She felt herself shiver a little, as the amazing essence she caught a whiff of was more than just plesant. It was sending many spidery tingles of pleasure racing the length of her body, and right into places that were so private. She drew a breath in as the smoke flared to life, and once more the girl’s wonderful personal muskiness massaged and intoxicated her senses and lit another rush of tingling sensations..
She broke the gaze with CC and took in a lungfull of the smoke, hoping that it would somehow hide her unusual reactions she was having from CC being so close to her. If the girl ended up seeing that she was trembling, she had no idea how to try and start to explain it, for she had no clue herself what was happening. She glanced at the girl, and then away a few times as she tried to figure out just what was happening to her.
Calming herself by concentrating wholly on her smoke, Mandy just tried to act as normal as possible could, but still being so close to CC had a interesting effect on her, as she was now noticing that she was starting to sweat even just standing in the coolness that the air held at this hour.
Soon the two finished their smoke, and then quickly snuck back in to the cabin. Each one of them wanted to grab a little more shut-eye, before the call for breakfast, as that time was close to a hour away.
The two shed what they were wearing and jumped into bed almost in unison. CC looked over the covers that she had tightly brought up around her shoulder.
" See you in a hour..."She whispered.
" Yeah..." Mandy said, settling herself into bed.
The ivory skinned girl suddenly got a very mischievous smile cross her face as she layed there. The girl lifted her head off the pillow, causing Mandy to look over, wondering what was so funny to her cabinmate.
" What do you think that Tracy girl would do if I jumped into bed with her naked?" The goth girl asked, holding back a bellylaugh as hard as she could with her whispers.
" Probably fill her pants..." Replied the girl, trying to hold back a fit of laughter with what CC purposed.
" That would not be that bad for her then... she definitely thinks her shit don’t stink." The unique girl quipped, then had to stick her face into the pillow to muffle a explosion of laughter.
Mandy stifled her own laughs with her own pillow, as tears rolled down her cheeks. They finally stopped laughing after a few minutes, and they purposely did not look at one another for fear that the giggles would return.
They each rolled over and soon fell back asleep for the small bit of time they had left.
