Gabriella's Date: Part One

Laura woke up in Anna's arms and besides feeling rather sore also felt a great contentment. She'd made peace with one of her biggest mistakes and now Anna was solidly back in her life again.

Sitting up she realized they'd actually managed to break the massive oaken bed last night. Thinking on how sore she felt she was suddenly glad to be wearing the platinum bracelet which may have prevented worse. Anna had been very aggressive but she wasn't complaining. She kissed Anna awake who then sat up herself declaring "Good morning to you too! What do we have to eat around here? I'm starving."

.

Gabriella was feeling rather pensive this morning. On the one hand she'd enjoyed her breakfast sitting next to Misty, yet on the other she had no idea how her "date" with Laura was going to go.

She looked up at the current scores again and shook her head.

Anna Rodriguez 35 VP 2500 BP

Tracy Black 31 VP 1000 BP

Misty Dawn 22 VP 3500 BP

Susan Wagner 21 VP 800 BP

Stacy Black 16 VP 5500 BP

Candy Henderson 16 VP 3900 BP

Carla Wright/Kim Baker 14 VP 1500 BP

Gabriella Escarra 8 VP 2000 BP

Last place, and the only one left in the single digits. Misty had been willing, even eager, to do more but without the influence of another card she'd been hesitant herself. She hadn't even been able to make herself help Susan so far, and she seemed more than willing to be helped. What was she going to do?

.

Kim was looking at the current score a lot as well during breakfast, while listening to Susan and Carla chat. She tried to contribute to the conversation but couldn't stop thinking they needed to do something about the boss woman's ex and her run away score.

They only had the 1500 bonus points but maybe it would be enough to buy something to trip her up. The bigger problem as Carla had said was they couldn't risk making enemies and most of these women not only knew each other but were friends and family. The points were public, if they bought something everyone would know who as soon as they looked at the scores.

Susan had some fancy marketing degree, maybe they could risk bringing her in on it to help plan, She was an outsider as much as they were. Of course she'd have to get Carla on board with the idea too, but having only half the score of the lead should be a compelling argument.

.

Shar swept into the master suite's living area using the stairs for once. Laura almost fell out of the breakfast nook in surprise. "What's the occasion?" She asked sarcastically.

"The Cruise is going well so I'm in a good mood." Suddenly Shar was no longer standing by the stairs but was now sitting next to Laura who flinched "But if you insist I can go back to jump scares."

"What cruise?" Anna asked from the other side of Laura working her way through the second heaping plate of breakfast Laura had ordered up from the mysterious kitchen for her.

"It's not important. You might want to slow down before you start breaking more than bed's though."

"What?" Anna asked while Laura tried to blush as red as her hair. "It's this stupid treasure card. I've been eating like this since I grew."

"Yes, Gains. Surely you've noticed the more you eat the stronger you get by now?"

"My overeating is making me stronger?!"

"Obviously."

"But if I don't I keep getting ravenous?"

"Yes, and you keep pushing yourself. Exactly how much were you trying to bench yesterday again?" Now it was Anna's turn to blush.

"So if I stop overeating I go back to my old strength?"

"Well not quite, you are seven foot tall now after all. You're are a bit stronger and will need to eat a bit more as long as you don't push past that. Or go eat the kitchen bare and try to deadlift the castle. I don't care. It is however time to leave so the Professor can have her turn."

As Anna nodding got up and got ready Shar turned back to Laura "And Laura dear, try to be gentle with her. Gabriella has not had the best introduction to sex."

"Misty told me. I'll be careful."

"Good, but try not to keep too hands off. she is very much in last place now."

With that she gathered up the mechanic and swept back down the stairs leaving Laura wondering how the hell she was going to help her old mentor.

.

Gabriella was still sitting in the dining area, now holding Misty's hands, when Shar once again made her grand entrance.

"Anna?" She asked the tall woman.

"Off to the gym to work off breakfast I believe. Shall we go?"

She nodded and rose to her feet then leaned down to give Misty a quick kiss before following their host out of the room.
