Part One.

It's been a six months now since the ill fated wedding between Lucky and I was called off and I have to say that I wouldn't have dreamed at how drastically things have changed for me in this time.

Sure I had my bad days early on, but they were gradually replaced with okay days and then in the past couple months almost good days and then in the past couple weeks things have actually been good for me overall.

There were a number of factors involved in this turn around, but the one that had the most impact on my life is the one I never would have expected.

Gia Campbell has been a thorn in my side since the day we first met almost two years ago and it was only this past year that we had become a bit closer and I even would go so far as to say we have become friends as well.

She also had some problems with Nik and once again he kept some very important things from her and she eventually told him they needed some time apart so he could either learn to trust her with everything or she just couldn't be with him anymore.

As one might expect she was not in very good shape when she came by my apartment and I let her in and she was pretty much in tears already, so I sat down beside her and she told me the whole story and then spent the night crying on my shoulder before she finally drifted off to sleep.

The next day she woke up feeling that itsy bitsy bit better and we had some breakfast and were sitting around the kitchen talking and she paused for a bit as if some light bulb had gone off in her head and said, "You know what we need? A vacation. Somewhere hot that we can go to just lounge around and soak up the sun and relax for a couple weeks. So, are you up for it?"

"Am I up for it? Give me a second to think about it first."

"Come on Lizzie. You need this to. I know your trying to move on but your never going to do it when your constantly running into Lucky every day."

"I know. Your right. Okay, let's do it then. Where did you have in mind?"

"That's the spirit. I was thinking either Hawaii or perhaps even the Bahamas?"

They both sounded so good and I looked at her and she looked so happy and excited and I just blurted out, "Let's try Hawaii."

Gia jumped in the air and then came over and gave me a big hug and she was going on and on about having to go pack and said she would make the reservations and all's I had to do was get ready and wait for her call and she was out the door in a flash.

I smiled at her enthusiasm and took my time looking through my closets and finding just the right clothes to take with me and I soon found out I simply didn't have enough summer clothes and not near enough swimsuits for such a long vacation.

So I got all the important things packed and then picked up my cell phone and gave Gia a call.

"Hi, this better be the travel agent!" She said with a marked amount of annoyance in her voice.

"Um, nope. Just me. Listen, I think I need to go for a quick shopping spree before we take this trip. So if your trying to book us a flight out tonight don't."

"Oh, I guess that's probably a good idea. Those travel people are just so slow though. They want a thousand questions answered and they still couldn't confirm they had a plane I could charter and then...."

"Gia. Gia. Slow down. Take your cell with you, get in your car and meet me at that new mall that just opened in about 30 minutes. Okay?"

"Fine. But, you will hear all about my nightmare with this travel agent so don't think you can just cut me off and....."

"Bye Gia. Talk to you soon." I laughed and then hung up before she could scream at me. I grabbed my purse and my keys and was soon on my way to meet Gia.

It was a long drive and it felt very relaxing to be thinking of summer clothes and hot sun and two weeks of pure R&R and I was really excited about this the more I thought about it.

I parked my car and stood by the main entrance for a couple minutes and Gia was right on time and she was soon standing beside me with a less then impressed look on her face and I knew she was still ticked at me for cutting her off earlier, "I'm sorry I hung up on you. I am." I wasn't being very convincing and was having a hard time holding in my smile and she knew it.

"Oh, this is funny to you is it? Well, we'll see how much you laugh when I do it to you." she snapped, half joking and half serious and I wasn't sure which part would win out.

"That's fine by me Gia. Turn this into a childish game.."

"What? Were you saying something?"

"Very mature Gia. Are you done yet?"

"I don't know. I will let you know when I am." she smiled and took a quick look around the mall, "So, where's this fancy new place you wanted to show me."
Finally, she seemed to be ready to shop.

"It's straight down this way and it's the last shop on the right. It's got some amazing clothes and they still have the grand opening prices in effect until tomorrow."

"I like the sounds of that. Lead the way."

We made our way through the maze of people and walked into the rather large store to find it was also quite crowded, but it wasn't a mad house and there was more than enough room to look
around.

I led Gia over to the swimsuit section and it was still quite well stocked and we both looked over the selection and picked out a couple we liked and then looked around for the changing rooms.

All but one was taken and we both ran towards it and stopped inside and looked at the other as if to say, get out, and she didn't move and I didn't move and since it was a fair sized booth she just closed the door and put down her purse and took off her coat and starting removing her clothes.

"Gia. What are you doing?"

"What's it look like? I'm changing so I can see if these fit. I will not buy anything I haven't tried on. No more."

"Yes, I agree with that. I meant, get out of my room."

"Oh get over yourself. This place is packed and this is the best were going to get. So, enough with the shyness and let's get a move on. I still think I can get us a charter out for tonight if we hurry."

She sure wasn't for subtlety. I couldn't argue with her because she was right and I sat my purse down and looked over at Gia, who gave me a reassuring smile and then continued removing her clothes and for some reason it was alot different than the other times we had changed together.

It's not like we hadn't seen each other in our underwear before. Changing for the wedding together was the last example of this, but it was such a big occasion I can hardly remember any of it.

This time though I really can't avoid seeing her. I'm stuck here about a foot away from her and it's kind of hard not to.

It's not like I wasn't aware that Gia was a very pretty girl who had face of a model and the body to go with it. The full pouty lips, dark piercing eyes, flawless skin and those long legs I had always dreamed of having.

She was now down to her bra and panties and I was just taking off my blouse and was unhooking my skirt as I looked up in time to see her remove her bra, revealing her very round breasts and I can't deny it was somewhat arousing to see her this way.

I took my eyes away long enough to toss my skirt to the little bench and then hesitated briefly as I went to remove my bra and I had no idea why. Were just two girls changing together here. Nothing sexual going on so what am I acting like this for.

So, I removed my bra and then stepped out of my panties and was standing naked in front of Gia for the first time ever and there was a feeling of exhilaration that seemed to flow through my body and I felt very free for the first time in a very long time.

Gia was slipping into a red bikini and I watched out of the corner of my eye as she adjustee toe top and then the bottoms and as she turned around I was very surprised to see that she had picked out a thong to wear.

I had seen them on girls on TV and even in magazines, but this was right here in front of me on a girl I know and I could certainly see why she chose this though. She simply has a very sex ass and this accentuates it to perfection. Showing the curve, shape and symmetry of her very tight firm ass and even though I had never paid much attention to her ass or any other for that matter, the sight of it right now was having a very unsettling, yet still very pleasing affect on me.

Now I was still naked and had to take my eyes of Gia's thong long enough to find one of the bikini's I picked out and I grabbed a white one and slipped it on and then looked in the mirror and was pleased enough at how it looked and I turned and saw Gia looking me over and I gave her a fake little pose and she smiled and said, "It looks great on you Liz. I love the contrast with your hair. Really makes the white stand out."

"Thank you Gia. And that red little number you have on is going to cause alot of heads to turn as well."

"You think? I don't know. Now to sound vain or like I'm fishing for compliments, but do you think I can pull this off? You know....how does my butt look?"

I can't believe she asked me that. Was she reading my eyes or something. I paused, tried to look as serious as possible, "Well, turn around then. Let me have a look."

She turned around slowly and looked over her shoulder and shrugged her shoulders looking for some response from me and I took another look at it and made her wait just a little longer before looking back up at her, "It looks fine Gia. The suit looks great on you."

"FINE?? Come on Lizzie. If it doesn't work just tell me. I am not wearing this if my butt is only fine. No way. No how."

"Would you stop with the theatrics. Okay, your butt looks amazing. It does. Now stop making me stroke your already huge ego and move onto another one please."

"Thank you Liz. I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't ask, but I really wanted to make sure I was still in good shape."

"Well, you are. So don't give it another thought."

"I won't. Thanks again." She smiled, then began removing her bikini and as she was, she looked over at me, "I would definitely keep that one though. It does work for you alot."

"Thank you Gia. I like it to. I think I will set this one aside as a keeper." I to began to undress yet again, while still being very aware of Gia still being very naked as well and I watched as she began to put on this very flashy gold bikini and the material was incredibly clingy and it really hugged her body like a glove.

She looked in the mirror and then turned around and stared at it from behind and then looked back over at me and I could tell she neemy omy opinion again and I managed to finish putting my top on and then had Gia turn around a few more times before I answered her.

"Looks like you found another keeper. That looks very good on you. Love the material."

"Yeah, so do I. It feels good to. Really soft and fits so good it's like I hardly feel like I'm wearing anything at all."

"I bet you'd like that." I teased, yet actually believing Gia was part exhibitionist by nature.

"Hey! That's not true. Well, not totally anyway. I mean, you know what it's like modeling, they are always trying to get you to wear less and less so I have got used to it more lately, but I'm still a shy girl at heart."

"Really? You don't seem shy right now."

"That's because I know you and trust you and don't feel self conscious around you."

"I'm glad to hear that. I still think you would be perfect as an exotic dancer."

Gia looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, trying to figure out if that was a compliment or an insult. I saved her the trouble, "It was a compliment silly. You just have that look when you were posing here showing me your bikini's. The way you moved as you turned and spun around was kind of, well, sexy I guess. And I bet if they put a poll in front of you, you'd be right at home."

"Now that went from a compliment to what one could easily take bad. I know you meant well, in your own round about way, so thanks."

"It's true though. I felt like you were putting on a show for me and it was kind of fun. I almost felt like I should put a dollar into the your thong though."

"Oh come on now. I wasn't that bad was I? Really? It was instinct I guess. Just wanted to do more than just stand around looking silly. But, I would've loved watching you put a dollar in my g-string though. That would have been fun to see. Maybe do it with your teeth like you see in the movies." She was laughing as she said it but it was a strangely erotic scenario either way.

"Maybe one day you will get your wish." I said it before I realized how it sounded and tried my best to keep talking, "Anyway, how do you like this one? Do you think black works as well as white does on me?"

She looked me over a bit and then smiled at me widely, "Well, perhaps you should move around a bit so I can see it better. A little dancing wouldn't hurt. Listen to the elevator music they have in this place and shake your booty."

I rolled my eyes and she kept yelling out things like, "work it honey. Come on. Show us what you got." and it was so silly I was laughing pretty hard now, but I decided to get into tood ood and started strutting around the very tiny space and was dancing in circles and would grab a pretend pole and start slithering up and down it, undulating my whole body all the way to the ground and back up again.

Gia was cheering and smiling and laughing and I turned around and was moving closer and closer to her and she grabbed her purse and pulled out some money and she grabbed me by the waist and pulled me almost onto her lap and then pulled the back of my bottoms open and then took a peak inside and smiled and then put a couple bills inside and tucked them in nicely and patted me on my ass and I just smiled and kept dancing.

After a minute or so I did finally stop and I looked over at her and I noticed the look in her eyes had changed. It's hard to explain but before it was almost like she was very playful and was very much like a store clerk when she told me about my suit and now she was looking at me with these eyes that I hadn't seen before.

She was looking at me so intently and I had to wave my hand at her and snap her out of it, "Gia. Earth to Gia?"

"Sorry. I was just. I didn't mean to stare. Anyway, I do like that suit, but it really doesn't flatter you as well as the white one. I'd save the black for when your out with Lucky and don't want the guys spending all day checking you out."

"Really? I like the white one to but was glad you agreed with me on it."

"I do. Wow, why not grab a couple different styles in white, then just a couple other colors for some variety and we can head back to me place and go through my closet some more."

"Sounds good to me." I agreed and then we both got dressed and went back out into the store and looked at some more suits, picked out a half dozen each and then bought some sun hats and some suntan lotion, paid for it and headed out to our cars.

I followed Gia back to her place and I got out and grabbed my back of clothes just in case she wanted to leave in a hurry and we got inside and she quickly looked for messages and saw one from the travel agency and quickly called them back and was back in her kitchen talking, screaming, yelling at them and I sat down on her couch and looked around her place and then grabbed a photo album from the coffee table and picked it up and opened up the first page and quickly noticed it was Gia's modeling portfolio.

Even I didn't realize how many different looks she could have. And it was amazing to see what some different hair and makeup could to do her.

As I looked through it some more I came to some pictures of her in some swimsuits and even some lingerie pictures I had never seen before.

In some pictures she looked so sweet and innocent, while in others she had this look of pure sexual energy and it was impossible to miss that or be affected by it in some way.

I flipped through the book a bit mord sad saw some even more revealing pictures of her in black and white and they were almost nude shots of her and I was very surprised to seem them and felt awkward about it and put the book down and got up and walked around the place to give myself something to do and think about.

Luckily Gia came right in soon after and was all smiles and she grabbed me by my hands and stopped long enough to say, "Guess what? Were going to Hawaii? Tonight!!!"

She practically screamed the last part and gave me a big hug and I hugged her back and was excited about the trip and we stayed like this for a fairly long time and it felt nice to be held again and I was getting used to it and she looked down at me and our eyes met and at that moment she just looked so beautiful and happy and vulnerable and I'm not sure who actually started it, but we kissed.

And it was a long, passionate and very hot kiss and we continued it for a very long time before we paused and looked at each other again and we both pulled away instantly and turned away from each other and I my mind had so many thoughts going through it at once and not the very least of these was what about this trip.

Did this kiss change anything. Should we talk about it. What did the kiss mean.

We managed to face each other again and she ended up tag fig first and that was a relief, "Well, that was interesting."

"Yes, it sure was." I walked away from her again and sat down on the couch and she followed and sat across from me on the smaller love seat.

"What do you want to do? Do you still want to go to Hawaii with me?" she asked quietly.

"Of course I do Gia. I'm sure we can chalk this up to emotions and we can just go take this trip we planned and have a great time." I responded quickly because it was the truth.

"Good. I really don't want to go alone and as for that....that kiss before, let's just not think about it for now." Gia explained, her hands fidgeting the whole time and I could tell she was not near as comfortable as she was trying to make out.

"That works for me." I smiled, trying to help make this all get back to normal again.

"Good, it's set." She said with noticeable relief and then got up and grabbed her phone again and then looked back at me, "The flight leaves at 2 AM, so we don't have much time. I want to take one last look upstairs and se the there is anything I missed. Then we can go back to your place and grab your bags and head off to paradise."

Her smile and excitement were really fun to see and I told her I was all packed and r to to go and she made one last call to confirm our flight and then we headed up to her room and proceeded to rummage through her very impressive walk in closet.

She had more clothes than I could have even dreamed of. She told me she got alot of them from the modeling jobs she went on and she had something to wear for every occasion one could think of.

I slowly walked through and had a look at her many dresses, skirts, blouses, t-shirts, sweaters and she even had a very large selection of lingerie that I would love to have.

Gia grabbed an outfit every now and then and threw it onto her bed and once she was done she walked back in and began taking off her clothes.

Now this was a surprise and after just sharing a kiss with her I wasn't sure I wanted to be watching her undress in front of me again.

I didn't have much of a choice though as off went her top and then her skirt and luckily she stopped there this time and was only trying on dresses.

Still, it was a little much to have to deal with and I tried to look away as much as pose ane and not be too obvious but my god, does she have to be so free about taking off her clothes in front of me.

Seeing her now was so much different than it was even an hour ago. It was like there were more feelings between us that we even realized and now seeing her was well, I'm not sure what to call it, but it was not platonic some of the things I was thinking of feeling right now and I really wanted them to stop.

She was finally dressed again and was showing off a very sexy, but elegant white cocktail dress and I had to say she looked great in it and she then pulled it off and fumbled through the other outfits before grabbing a very short, black number that also looked great on her and so she kept that one and the other one and tried on a couple more but didn't like them and after about 30 minutes she had packed up three large suitcases full of clothes and accessories and gave me a cute little impish smile and said, "Ready!"

I helped her carry one of her suitcases downstairs and we put them in her car and I drove mine into her garage and then hopped into the passenger seat and we headed back to my place.
