				"Great work ladies!" the photographer called. "We've got plenty to work with. Thanks so much!" All the lights were finally turned on again. People were moving about, taking down the set and putting away the equipment. Natalia sighed. At last the shoot was over!<br><br>At 5 ft 10 inches, she was a tall leggy beauty. Voluptuous and toned, she was curvier than most models in their age. Dusky skin, evidence of mixed heritage, was smooth and soft to the touch. Long dark hair framed a face with regal, elegant features that were delicate enough to make her beautiful rather than handsome.<br><br>Stretching, she turned to her friend and smiled. It had been quite some time since their first together, the one that had launched both their careers. And the other female was just as lovely as she remembered. <br><br>Natalia couldn't help watching her, resisting the urge to sigh. Even if she could muster up the courage to tell her how she felt, what were the odds her gorgeous friend would feel the same way? Slim to none. "That was fun! What do you say we hit the town?" she asked.

				<div align="center">(http://images.askmen.com/galleries/model/naomi-campbell/pictures/naomi-campbell-picture-1.jpg)<br><br>Serena gave a relaxed smile to be finally done with the intense shoot they had to be part of. The photography had been demanding and it took an awful a lot of energy from them. Sure they were supermodels but they were also humans at te end of the day. The sets were being moved and staff was moving out. Serena was an unusually tall woman, towering at 6'1", and unlike other models she wasn't a thin anorexic stick but boasted perfect proportions..just enough to make her hundread percent woman and an immensely successful model. Her brown skin had this glittering appeal to it which was unmatched, and long hair belonging to an unusual face...which was far off from perceptions of traditional beauty which people seemed to possess. Quite the handsome one..she had taken the world by storm when she burst on the scene for the first time some years back and climbed to the top in no time. Of course in this business the trick wasn't to climb to the top..but to stay there and still kick ass. Which she did.<br><br>She looked at her friend Natalia smiling, who also was giving a relaxed smile. Happy to be together after so long. They had been together in this game for a while now. Doing many of their early shoots, the ones which pushed them into spotlight together. Natalia had blossomed even more..looking even more regal than she did in the past. "This was great..exhausting but great..and it was really nice to work with you after so long Nat..had almost forgotten how great it is to be in a shoot with you!" She said. "Hitting town? Always..when have I ever said no to that!" Serena said grinning as they stood in the half empty place.</div>

				(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff167/Melody0322/Moran/Moran11.jpg)<br><br><br>The smile Natalia gave to Serena wasn't one of the glittering but rather empty ones she showed for the camera. It was genuine, giving her face a softer radiance that heightened her beauty. "Not once that I can remember but there's a first time for everything," she said brightly. Just thinking about some of the other firsts she had yet to experience with her friend made her look down as the color in her cheeks deepened.<br><br>"Meet you just outside!" she called as she headed to her dressing room. She was eager to put on "street clothes" and get out of the outfit she'd been wearing for the shoot. Pretty clothes weren't always comfortable but she did like the fabric. Carefully removing each article, she neatly hung them back up, admiring the fabric's sheen in the light before removing the heavy make-up and jewelry to replace it with something a little more natural.<br><br>She went as fast as she could while still doing a thorough job. Her features looked even more delicate and without the intense makeup, Natalia looked even softer and more feminine. The clothes flattered her toned curves but were still perfectly modest. "So what did you want to do? Dinner and drinks, drinks and and dancing? Or all three?"

				"Yup!" Serena said nodding as she disappeared back to her own changing room. She quickly threw off the clothes she had on and grabbed the casual ones. A simple white top and jeans would do more than enough job of turning the heads around. Her beauty commanded attention no matter where she went. Serena chuckled to herself wondering why Natalia was blushing earlier..but then again the girl had always been a shy one. Serena tied up her long hair, pulling them backwards. The clothes fitting tightly against her lean body.<br><br>She was glad to have the makeup off. Always been the one to prefer to be as natural as possible..these excessive makeup routines was one of the things which she hated about her work. Walking out briskly, she met Natalia..who was looking soft and delicate like a doll. "Wow, you're looking a china doll Natalia!" She smiled complimenting the woman as she put forth the options available. Serena pondered for a minute before answering. "Like they say, the more the merrier..let's go for all three!"

				Serena couldn't help being gorgeous. Her confidence only heightened it. That was what Natalia envied most. She knew she was a beautiful woman as well so there was no jealousy where looks were concerned. But she never had had her friend's devil-may-care attitude or been able to just go for what she wanted, take risks... <br><br>Natalia blushed again and looked down when Serena commented on how good she looked. "Thanks," she said. "You look great too but when do you not?" Too pleased that she was going to get to spend so much time with her friend and excited about the evening ahead, she didn't blush, just continued beaming. "That sounds great!"<br><br>Starting to head for the exit, the smile faded just a little as she started to talk about more practical matters. "So where do you want to eat? And are we taking one car or a cab or-?" Whatever Serena wanted to do. Natalia was very much a people-pleaser. Most of the time that was a good thing.

				"Thanks, and I guess what you said applies to both of us!" Serena said with a grin whilst they continued to walk. She felt like just letting herself loose like a wild animal tonight. But then again, that's how she always felt when she was going for a night out. She wanted this to make it as fun as possible..since it had been so long since she and Natalia had been together...it was like a reunion of sorts. "I think we'll just take my car..I mean public transport..is like ew, shit. Being with other scum? Ugh. And don't worry i'll handle the driving cause I would fucking hate that prick of a driver to ruin our fun night by being god damn peeping tom you know?" She gave her answer, usually she was very clear and blunt about things no matter who was in front of her and this was no exception to that.

				The comment was perfectly innocent but it still sent a thrill through her. Warm and tingly from the inside out, the bright smile on her face faded a little. "But that means you won't be able to enjoy yourself as much," she pointed out. "No way I am letting you take the wheel under the influence. I can be the designated driver if you wish." <br><br>It was the offer any friend would make. The night was going to be fun but it'd be more fun if they could both enjoy themselves to the fullest. Natalia wasn't really that much of a drinker anyway. Not after- Thinking about that incident would ruin the evening. Nothing was going to be allowed to do that.<br><br>"Well, I guess we can figure out those things over dinner," she finally said. She was hungry. Both of the women were known for their figures and neither hesitated to sate their hunger while still keeping themselves trim and toned. "Where did you want to eat?"

				Serena shrugged. "Well, to be honest I can hold my alcohol better than most out there missy! But if you say so, you can drive when we're coming back. Can't have you hyperventilating in the car like you did the last time!" She remarked laughing, recalling their crazy drive back home as an obviously drunk Serena was speeding like anything. "But yeah, dinner comes first. I was thinking of this new Chinese place which had opened up..or we could go somewhere else which tickles your fancy!"

				That was true, Serena could. However it didn't mean she was immune to its effects. Natalia couldn't help smiling at the memory. It was easy to laugh at at the moment but at the time it had been very scary. She hadn't gotten her heartrate back to normal for at least an hour after that ride...<br><br>"All right," she said. That was a fair compromise and would allow both of them to have fun. They stepped out into the night. The chill was quite bracing. They'd be warming up soon enough with drinks and dancing...<br><br>"Chinese food sounds good," she said. It actually did. But even if it hadn't she would have happily gone along with whatever Serena wanted. Natalia was a chronic people pleaser. Usually it turned out to be a good thing.

				As they stepped out, Natalia agreed to Serena's plan. "Brilliant. Just wait here for few seconds, i'll bring out my car." She walked to the parking lot and quickly brought out her newly bought sports car. The machine, black..sleek and smooth. Much like Serena herself. She opened the passanger seat and grinned. "Hop in, you like this? Bought like last week!"

				Natalia nodded, watching Serena walk off with long, confident strides. She always had been so graceful... Staring up at the sky, she was amazed at how clear it seemed. Smiling, she heard the approach of a car. Though she didn't recognize it... The smile was frozen but soon deepened when her friend called out.<br><br>She hurried to take her seat and buckled up, always a good idea with Serena in the driver's seat. It still had the new car smell she'd always liked. Glancing around the interior with interest, Natalia gave a little nod. Somehow it suited Serena.<br><br>"Yeah, it's gorgeous," she said. <em>Like you,</em> went the unspoken addition. Shifting in her seat, she was soon comfortable. Soon they'd be on their way and the evening could begin. An entire night with the woman of her dreams- literally. What more could she ask for?

				Serena waited till Natalia got in and buckled her up properly before commenting on the car. "Thank you! I was in the showroom the other day and when I spotted this..I just <em>had</em> to own it! It looked simply amazing!" Serena grinned as she showed some of the interior to the woman. "Anyways, ready for an awesome ride? Brace yourself!" She spoke as she let the mean machine loose, zooming through the streets like anything..overtaking others effortlessly. "You might wanna start some music, the player's right in front of you." Serena said whilst not removing her gaze from the street.

				"I see why!" she said, tone full of admiration. The entire was elegant and lush without being gaudy. It really was a nice car. Maybe it was time she got a new one herself. She'd forgotten how good it felt. That was something to be figured out later, when she didn't have Serena by her side.<br><br>Natalia's expression of fear wasn't entirely feigned as they zipped out of the parking lot and into the streets that seemed way too busy for that time of night. Her heart was pounding. It was a sweet ride though...<br><br>It took her a moment to get the radio turned on and tuned to a station she knew they'd both enjoy. The song that played was quite fitting. "Trouble" by Pink, one of her favorite artists. She sang along, bobbing her head in time. When Natalia started to have fun, the quiet, shy persona started to fade and something more vibrant and open started to emerge...

				Serena chuckled as she watched Natalia sing along with the song and begin to enjoy herself. She liked the girl more when stopped being so tightly wound and just chose to be herself..letting herself loose and having fun. She too joined in the singing eventually..singing along the song and bobbing her head to the beats. Their voice mixing with each other's to create an interesting mix of melody as Natalia's voice had a smooth, silky edge whilst Serena's was a husky tone. "Almost there!" Serena proclaimed amidst the song as she parked her to the one side of the street.

				It was easy to let herself relax and have fun around Serena, despite the massive crush she had on the other woman. For some reason it felt safe to let her guard down around the other woman. She knew she could count on her to be honest and say what was on her mind. That was a refreshing quality.&nbsp; <br><br>Their voices rose above the rest of the music, weaving together in an entrancing combination of tones. Hers clear and silky, Serena's husky... The song ended and a commercial started to play.<br><br>They finally arrived. She looked over at Serena and smiled. "Safe and sound!" she teased. Unbuckling, she pulled her jacket tighter around her and grabbed her purse before stepping out. Something made her look up.<br><br>The lights of the city didn't allow for many stars to shine above it but there were a few bright spots. She smiled. Suddenly she gasped when she saw a streak of light across the sky. A shooting star. Wasn't she supposed to make a wish? <br><br>Biting her lip, she knew what she wished for. <em>I wish Serena and I could be together,</em> she thought to whatever higher power was listening. Chuckling at her folly, she looked around for Serena.

				Serena chuckled at the comment made by Natalia, she loved it when Natalia made those teasing remarks..they had lot of fun banters and Natalia had this way with words couldn't quite be compared to anyone else. "With me in the seat, you can count on even death being afraid to come anywhere near us!" She giggled and winked at Natalia as they walked out. Serena was walking forward, talking excitedly. "You are just going to love this restaurant Natalia, it's just amaz..." Her voice trailed off as she looked around to find Natalia nowhere near her until she looked behind and found the girl staring at the skies.<br><br>She quickly walked towards Natalia and tapped on her shoulders. "What you been looking at? The stars or just started daydreaming?" She asked with a chuckle before realising the reason. "Oh don't tell me, a shooting star? Gods how can you even believe in those things!" She exclaimed as they again began to walk together towards the entrance.

				Natalia rolled her eyes good-naturedly and looked back at Serena. "Yeah, like any other sane being, Death would be afraid you'd run him over!" she teased. It was a nice car though that handled well. Very much Serena, even if Natalia wished it was a bit sturdier. The thought of her friend being in an accident, however peripherally, didn't sit well with her at all.<br><br>She shook her head to clear it, just as Serena came to stand next to her. "Whatever you think about their wish-granting capabilities, they're still beautiful," she pointed out.&nbsp; Natalia blushed again. If Serena knew what she had wished for... She hadn't even come out to her dear friend yet.<br><br>That would be the first step, she decided. One hurdle at a time and who knew? Maybe- No. She refused to build up her hopes only to have them torn down around her ears. She'd try to be content with Serena's friendship. The night ahead was going to be fun, even if they were two girl friends and not girlfriends hanging out. "So have you been here already then?" she asked as they walked in.

				"They're beautiful alright." Serena nodded as she looked up where Natalia had been pointing. Although it was city and glittering with neon at this time of the night, one could still see the shooting star Natalia was showing. It was a bright one, falling somewhere on the horizon before disappearing beneath a skyscraper eventually. Serena looked down back at Natalia and grinned. "But not as beautiful as you!" She winked playfully. They walked in, Serena as usual had made arrangements and they got the VIP treatment, being taken towards a private booth so they could enjoy the evening peacefully. "Yeah, been here couple of times. Lovely place ain't it? I love the atmosphere around here and all the ethnic music with entire theme just adds a nice feel to it."

				Silence reigned as they watched the shooting star continue on its path. Natalia sighed when it passed from their line of sight. The magic was gone from the sky. She ached. Not like her wish was going to come true. Even if she did find the courage to tell Serena how she felt, she was sure the other woman didn't look at her that way.<br><br>It was hard not to wonder about it though when she kept making comments like that. Natalia stammered a thank you and blushed as she followed Serena in. The glow about her made more than a few of the staff members and fellow patrons look her way as they were shown to their booth. It was hard not to stare at the gorgeous pair.<br><br>Natalia took in the decor. It was very tasteful, understated elegance. Opulent but not gaudy. Music played softly in the background. "Yeah, it's very nice," she said. "I'm glad that we decided to come here! Since I don't know anything about this place except your rave reviews, any recommendations on what to order?"<br>

				Serena grinned when she watched all the people around them observing them with interest. "Looks like we've generated a small fanbase of our own here!" She let out a chuckle at her own comment. When she buried her head in menu, Serena had a funny idea. "Tell you what, what if..we play a little game of our own here. How about you just close your eyes..and then put your finger on anything in menu and we just try that dish? I know it's like..so totally crazy..but it would be kind of fun..and would just make the evening whole more interesting!"

				Natalia glanced around, surprised by how many people quickly looked away when she stared back at them for a moment. "Seems like it," she said softly. Just because she was used to people looking at her all day didn't mean she liked it out of context. It was going to be hard to enjoy her night when she could feel so many eyes boring into her.<br><br>Glancing down at the menu, she took a drink of water. Everything sounded delicious. When Serena had one of her famous ideas, Natalia looked up at her questioningly. "All right, but only if we get to share the dishes," she said. That would make it even more interesting.<br><br>It did sound fun and she had a hard time saying no to anyone, especially Serena. She was actually looking forward to it. Shifting in her seat, she cleared her throat and sat up straight. The dusky beauty made an exaggerated show of closing her eyes and moving her finger over the menu before it stilled. "What am I going to be ordering?" she asked, leaning forward to look.

				Serena noticed Natalia glance around and it didn't really seem to put her to ease. She looked in Natalia's eyes and smiled. "Don't you worry about them love. They'll stare and then just feel jealous. That's about all they got! Don't let those shitheads spoil our evening babe!"<br><br>She noticed Natalia buy into her idea about menu. "Absolutely, so if it's anything weird we don't like, the last thing I would want is for you to suffer alone!" She giggled as she said that. Natalia had closed off her eyes, in a rather dramatic manner and then her finger moved around the menu before it stopped somewhere as she wondered what it might be. Serena herself leaned forward some to read what it was..but it took her a moment to realise it since it was upside down for her.<br><br>"Char Siu Rice!" Serena exclaimed. "Never had it myself..but now i'm definitely looking forward to that, especially after your finger landed up on it, it <em>has</em> to be awesome!"

				Natalia smiled. Serena was right. Why should she let the gawking bother her? It was harmless. Nothing was going to happen to them. Serena wouldn't let it. Taking another drink, she turned the page of the menu to check out their drink selection.<br><br>"I've never heard of it either," she said. It sounded pretty good though. She barely managed to not blush at the compliment. Serena was full of them that evening. It made things that much more difficult. "All right, your turn!"

				Serena closed her eyes as she didn't bother to turn the menu card towards her..keeping it upside down. Her hand danced all over the page for a while moving around here and there before suddenly stopping at one place. She still kept her eyes closed tightly and giggled a bit. "What is it Natalia?"

				Natalia seized the opportunity to admire Serena. So strong and beautiful and confident... She sighed softly, watching her friend's face rather than her hands. The sound of Serena's giggle made her smile. Just staring at her, she blinked and blushed. It took her another moment for her to look down at the menu and she what she had pointed at.<br><br>"Oh no, Char Siu Rice again!" she said. They had landed on the same thing. "Well, we are definitely ordering that," she said with a laugh. "Go again! And this time do try not to copy me." She winked and leaned back, waiting for Serena to try again. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. Thank goodness she didn't have any allergies!

				Serena opened her eyes when Natalia mentioned she had found the very same menu and slapped her forehead while laughing. "Well what can I say Natalia, you and your choices are too damn attractive that even my fingers found the very same menu!" She said giggling and closed her eyes once again. "Okay now, here I go again..and this time if my finger lands on the same menu again..then just grab it yourself and move it randomly and stop anyplace and pick that!" She again moved her finger in random manner, this time around moving it all over the card, jumping wildly before stopping as suddenly as she had started. "Now?" She asked with her eyes closed.

				Natalia blushed again. Her mouth fell open. There had to be a good response to that. Before she had a chance to really think of it Serena was at it again. Probably for the best. She had no idea how she was supposed to respond when the woman she liked- no, loved- said things like that.<br><br>She forced herself to concentrate and watch the motions of her finger this time. When it finally settled, it was on something different. Natalia leaned over to peer at it, causing her hair to fall across her shoulders and giving a nice glimpse of the valley between her breasts. Not surgically enhanced in any way.<br><br>"Oh, that's much better!" she said. "Hui Guo Rou... I've never had it before." It sounded delicious though. Unconsciously she licked her lips as she leaned back and waited for Serena to open her eyes again.

				Slowly Serena opened her eyes as Natalia read out loudly what she had picked. She grinned. "Finally, something different. Okay then! That's what we'll be ordering." She called for a sultry looking waitress, who almost seemed to be waiting for their attention. Assigned to them for the night. She came in quickly. "Hui Guo Rou and Char Siu Rice. And make it quick please..we're starving here!" The waitress smiled. "It will be here in few minutes, we like to take care of our special clients." Serena returned the smile and nodded as the waitress disappeared away. "Can't wait to found out the results of our experiment!" Serena said with a grin.

				Natalia fell silent, unable to keep herself from watching Serena as she ordered for them. At last she managed to look at the waitress, nodding before turning her gaze to her companion. "Yeah." The restaurant was nice so she was sure it'd be well-prepared even if the dishes wouldn't have been their first choice.<br><br>"You never know until you try right?" she said softly, taking a drink. Some of the brightness had faded. Would Serena know that she wasn't just talking about the food? Forcing herself to take another sip, she set the glass down. "And here's the waitress, wow..." That really was fast.

				Serena nodded with excitement. "Exactly! I think, one has to try everything at least once in their lives you know? Who knows when the new doors of perception might be opened up and how our lives could change in a second. All it needs one moment to put a completely different spin on our lives!" She said smiling. Little did she knew that Natalia meant more than just food or other choices in lives..or how it was going to affect her life. The waitress quickly brought their food and placed it in front of them, serving it quickly. She heard Natalia talk about quick service. "Yup, special service for special persons!" Serena grinned as waitress finished serving and walked away. "Ready?" Serena asked as she grabbed the chopsticks. "You know, up until past few months..I couldn't use these silly things to save my life..in fact i'm still not sure if I can..but at least these days the food can make it towards my mouth!"

				She didn't think Serena got it but she just nodded. Serena was right though. And if she had that attitude, maybe it wasn't so hopeless after all. Natalia took a drink. Getting through the evening was going to take something stronger than water. "Can we see a beverage menu?" she asked. The waitress nodded as she finished setting their food in front of them.<br><br>Natalia chuckled. "It's a skill," she said as she divvied up the food, half of each dish on their plates. She slid one to Serena. "Took me forever to learn." It smelled delicious. "So any thoughts on what we're going to do for drinks here?"

				Serena watched her friend work away expertly with chopsticks. "Woah, you sure have mastered the art!" She giggled. "Teach me someday." Serena spoke through a mouthful as she watched Natalia. "Um, well..I don't know, probably stick with wine I guess?" Serena said pausing to think for few moments. "Unless of course you have something else on your mind. I don't want to be making all the choices and forcing them on you..because it's <em>our</em> night together!"

				"I've developed a love for Asian cuisine over the past few years," she said modestly. "And I'd love to." <em>That, and other things,</em> she silently added. That made her blush. Clearing her throat, she looked down. Serena was going to figure out something was up if she wasn't careful.<br><br>"Definitely a good idea to go with the meal," she said. Maybe their waitress could recommend something. Taking her chopsticks, she raised them to her mouth. "Mmm, isn't this delicious?" she said after she'd finished her bite. "So glad we went the route we did."

				Serena nodded. "It's quite wonderful indeed..I kind of picked up on it only in past few months when my agent Ray Jackson took me to a Thai food joint one evening after some particularly successful meeting. Since then i've been obsessed with it. Who better than you to teach me about this Miss Prim and Proper!" She giggled as she said that, referring to Natalia's good girl approach to everything. The other girl seemed to be going quiet unusually from time to time for the evening. "Natalia..hon, you all right?" Serena asked noticing the quietness.<br><br>But by then Natalia was talking again. "Yeah, we'll call her up in few." Serena said as she grabbed chopsticks and took a bite..albeit far more awkwardly than Natalia. "God..this is so delicious that it just melts right away in mouth..this is just incredible." She nodded when Natalia mentioned about coming here. "Yeah..definitely better than the usual stuff..and a sure shot improvement over shitty McDonalds food I had to rely upon when I was a nobody." She grinned.

				Natalia blushed again and smiled. "I'm not as prim and proper as you think," she said softly before she took a drink. If only Serena knew... She hastily filled her mouth with the rice so she didn't say anything else stupid. <br><br>"Yeah, I'm fine," she assured her friend. "Mmm..." If she could just forget about the impossible crush she had on Serena, it was going to be a fantastic night. "Don't knock McDonalds, I used to work there!" The waitress was moving in their direction.<br><br>Natalia raised a hand. Within seconds the waitress was standing by the side of their table. "Do you have any good vintages you could recommend to accompany this?" she asked. "I've got just the thing," the waitress assured her. She hurried away to get their wine and Natalia looked back at Serena. "So where are we headed next?"

				Serena laughed at Natalia's remark. "Yeah right, i'm the spoiled bitch on power trip amongst us..remember?" She chuckled as she recalled some of titles media had given her for her unpredictable and arrogant behaviour.&nbsp; "Hey, I always preferred working at Pizza Hut instead!" She said back joking at her. Natalia was the one to order wine and waitress disappeared.<br><br>"Hm, well next we could hit some dance floor..and i've got just the club in my mind for the night. Spend couple of hours there and then maybe head back to home? How does that sound? Unless you had some other special idea in mind..I do love surprises you know!" She winked at her friend and enjoyed some more rice.

				Natalia winced at the reminder of some of the harsh things that had been said about her friend. She had always defended her as best she could. But Serena was laughing and soon she was laughing with her. "Well, if you start at the bottom, there's no where to go but up! We're proof of that."<br><br>The waitress returned with their wine. "Leave the bottle. Thanks!" With that, they were left in peace again. She poured them both a glass. "That sounds like a great plan." Raising her glass, she leaned forward. "To us!" she declared.

				"A-fucking-men to that girl!" Serena grinned when Natalia mentioned about going to top. "Fuck the haters!" The waitress was back and Natalia quickly poured both of them a drink. Serena grabbed hers and leaned forward herself. "To us and the best damn team ever to be assembled!" Serena declared back and connected lightly with Natalia's glass, before taking a sip. "Amazing!" She declared with a smile.

				Natalia nodded firmly. They'd both dealt with their share of detractors. Including designers who sniffed at their curves. She'd become outspoken against eating disorders and involved in organizations that promoted healthy lifestyles, acceptance, and responsibility. "To us," she agreed. She really liked the sound of that.<br><br>She took a sip. It was very good and complemented the meal perfectly. The woman focused her attention on the food. The silence was comfortable. Finally her plate were empty. Natalia took another sip and sat back with a groan. "Ugh I'm stuffed... but at least I won't be drinking with an empty stomach!" She'd had a couple glasses of wine and another drink when they got to the club meant she'd be able to drive okay...

				Serena grinned as they went about enjoying their drinks and having a great time in general with food. They didn't even realise how much time had passed. Serena threw a quick glance at the watch and chuckled. "Oh wow..it's been like two hours and feels like we've been here for fifteen minutes only!" She laughed. Being with Natalia, is something which she hadn't experienced in a long time..she was really enjoying this moment right now. She had few drinks in her..but nothing much considering Serena's usual capacity. "Ready for the club?" Serena asked as the check was served and she handed in her credit card. "Be quick." She ordered in her usual snappy way to the waitress.

				Two hours?! Time really did fly when you were having fun. She laughed as well. They still had plenty of time to go out dancing. Both of the women looked radiant. Alcohol had gotten the blood flowing and they were having a good time. Natalia had ceased to pay attention to the glances their table was getting.<br><br>Natalia finished her wine. Neither of them had had too much to drink though of the two of them Natalia was definitely the more cautious driver. The waitress took Serena's card and brought it back promptly. "Thank you," she said. She left a generous tip for the young woman before standing. "So do you want to drive again?" she asked.

"I know I probably sound stupid right now..but you'll understand it when you slide in the drivers seat yourself!"

				Natalia's eyes widened and she stopped in her tracks. "I can drive it? Really?" she said. She had been impressed by the machine's smooth operations and how well it seemed to respond to each twitch of Serena's hand. Now she would get to harness that power for herself.<br><br>She couldn't squealing as she threw her arms around Serena and hugged her tightly. "Oh thank you!" she said. Beaming brightly, she stepped back and smiled at Serena. "And I'll be extra careful. The passenger means a lot to me." Her smile softened a little but before her gaze could become too significant she looked away.<br><br>Waving at their waitress, she glided to the car. "Got the keys?" she asked, resting her elbows on the hood and leaning towards Serena. Her heart was pounding at the thought of being in the driver's seat.

				"Of course you can!" Serena exclaimed in return. She could spot Natalia's excitement and it made her happy. The sudden hug was surprising..but she liked it nonetheless. "You don't have to thank me for anything dear, I knew you would love to drive this baby and I was determined to make you drive it at least once..so that you too can buy one like this for yourself!" She grinned.<br><br>Nodding at Natalia's question, Serena quickly threw the keys towards her. "Here they are!"

				Natalia blushed again and looked down. She had indeed wanted to drive the car since she saw it, just to know what it was like to handle such an incredible vehicle. "You know me too well," she said. <em>Or not well enough,</em> she thought to herself. One day, she'd come clean about her feelings. One day...<br><br>Catching the keys, she gave a very girlish, happy squeal. "We probably won't get there as quickly because I don't drive like a maniac," she teased, "but it's not the destination, it's the journey right?" Stepping back, she unlocked the car and slid into the driver's seat.<br><br>She exhaled as she gripped the steering wheel. Was it just her or was the driver's seat even more comfortable? She put the keys in the ignition and turned the car on, her grin deepening as she heard the engine's smooth purr. Buckling up, she waited for Serena to join her.

				Serena chuckled at comment about driving like a maniac. "Well, that's what I like to call driving like a pro!" She joked back. "But I agree..it's not the destination..right now it's all about the journey and enjoying the awesome ride." She watched Natalia get herself comfortable in the driver's seat as she turned on the car. Watching her grin deepen, Serena did the same with a wide grin on her face as well and slid in next to Natalia and buckled up. "Whoosh!" Serena mentioned with a giggle as she made a movement of car going at fast speed with her hand.

				Natalia groaned. It was only partially feigned. She smiled at Serena. Once the other woman had buckled up, she gently pressed her foot down on the gas pedal. The car smoothly pulled out of the parking lot and onto the street.<br><br>"So where exactly are we going?" she asked. Not that she minded. If they had to get turned around, it was that much longer she got to spend driving the car. She didn't know if she'd ever drop the money for something like this but it was a dream come true to drive it. Gradually she accelerated, unable to resist pushing the speed limit.

				"Club Sin it is!" she declared. It wasn't a place she went often. Not really her scene though she always had a good time there. And it was hard not to have fun with Serena. The fact that it was a bit of a drive, though not too far made it that much more appealing.<br><br>As soon as they got a little further away from the city, she bit her lip. "I'm gonna floor it," she announced. She had to see what the car was capable of. There was no one on the stretch of highway and it was a straight shot. Leaning back, she pushed down on the accelerator as the car sped up.

				Serena grinned at Natalia's declaration. She knew it wasn't a place which Natalia frequented much and was a bit unsure if she would prefer going there or not. But Natalia's statement cleared up all the doubts Serena had about the whole thing. They were having a blast with the drive and she smiled at the comment about flooring it. "Go for it!" She told Natalia and Natalia did the exact thing on the lone, almost empty highway stretch. As they zoomed through what seemed like a blur Serena pondered for a moment. "You know what..screw the club..how about we just take her for a massive ride. Just push her to her limits and then drive back. Right now, to me that sounds better than any other club!" She gave a wide grin at the idea and looked at Natalia.

				They were nearing the turn-off for the club and she was preparing to move into the other lane. But Serena's idea sounded like a lot of fun. "Okay! We'll take her for a real ride and then go work off the rush at the club," she said. It was turning out to be quite the evening.<br><br><em>It could be the night,</em> she thought to herself. No, it wasn't. It could ruin it and she didn't want to spoil Serena's fun. There were always a million reasons not to admit her feelings.<br><br>The road stretched before them, long and empty. Biting her lip, she pressed the pedal down further. The car responded eagerly. "I hope there's a gas station nearby," she said. Turning on the radio, "Highway to Hell" started to play. Natalia began to sing along.
