Pool day

We all sit in the hot tub having a real conversation for the first time after all the tension dissipated between me and Liz we have been able to hold normal conversations without getting embarrassed or making long, awkward silences. I finally found out that Liz was studying to write and that she loves to write short stories, Jess also told us about how she is finding her physical education class exciting and that she's been focusing primarily on swimming.

After about 20 minutes I saw Eve out of the corner of my eye, she'd managed to almost get to the hot tub without me even seeing her, and for a split second I panicked before remembering my command, she approached and I saw the **** glare in Jane's eye, Eve clears her throat, "John, I, well I wanted to apologise-"

"I'm going to stop you right there, don't talk to him, turn around and leave him alone, don't you think you tortured him enough?" Jane fumed, Eve looked at her in shock and backed up a couple of steps.

"Hey Jane, don't be like that, she couldn't have been that bad." Jess guessed.

"You don't even know the half of it, she completely-" Jane started.

"Jane, it doesn't matter, just drop it, please," I begged.

"Alright... But you better get away from him Eve unless you want a couple of gaps between your teeth," Jane Warns, Eve backs away more and I see the disappointment in her face that she couldn't do as I'd commanded her. I shouldn't have given her that command, it only put me on edge. Everyone continues to talk, but I sink back trying to relax.

Jane turns to face her girlfriend, "So Jess..." she takes a deep breath, "I wanted to ask you something but before I do I want to reassure you that it is only a question and you can say no but it would be nice if you had an open mind about it."

"Hmm, this sounds like it might be something I won't like, fine I'll keep an open mind but only because you're cute," Jess smiles.

"Okay so I've been thinking and I think that it might be good for us to have an open relationship," Jane falls silent waiting for Jess.

"Oh, I wasn't expecting that, I mean, don't you think I'm enough for you?" Jess questioned.

"What no, that's not it, so my moms have been together for a long time now and even before we were born our moms have had an open relationship, but that doesn't mean that they sleep around, in fact, mom told me that they have hardly ever acted on it, they set up a list of rules and then agreed that if one wanted to pursue someone in a sexual manner that the other wouldn't be upset about it." Jane explains.

"I still feel like you are trying to get permission to sleep with someone else."

"I'm not, I swear, it's just, I don't know I want our relationship to be as strong as my mom's and we don't even have to act on it just knowing that it's there and there are guidelines that we need to follow to ensure neither of us would get hurt, you never know we are both girls who never tried to go into a straight relationship, what if you woke up one day and wondered what it would be like to be with a guy?" While sitting silently listening to this awkward conversation I definitely see Jane look at me at the end of that sentence, "would you at least think about it? We could talk about what rules we would have if you agree and if you decide you don't want to then I'll forget it or even if at some point in the future you decide that you aren't comfortable with it any more we can agree to call it off."

Jess lets out a sigh, "fine, I'll think about it, and you're sure you haven't been thinking of someone in particular?"

"Well there was this one girl, but she recently changed her hair and got into a relationship," she has a big grin while she stares at Liz.

"I mean, if you want that I can just do a little role play, I'd even cut my hair to match if you wanted me too," Jess laughs all the while Liz has turned a couple different shades of red, I shuffle a little closer to her and cautiously put my arm around her shoulders, I'm reassured when she leans into me and I let out a slight sigh.

"Hmm, tempting, but maybe we should stop talking about things like that in front of her, I'm not sure she can handle it," Jane says.

The lighter mood returns, "I'll be back in a second," I stand and walk towards the outside bathroom picking my phone up as I walk past my clothes, I close the door and take the ring out of my pocket, I think of Eve and squeeze the ring feeling a vibration. I should have thought about that last suggestion a little more. I lift the ring up to my lips, "you are going to write down your phone number and slide it under the outdoor bathroom door," I tightly grasp the ring tightly until it vibrates. I wait a minute and then see a slip of paper slide under the door, I enter it into my phone and save it in my contacts.

I lift the ring up to my lips again, "You will get a message saying 'Master' save it under the same name, any order coming from that number you will obey without question but fully aware of your situation, you won't tell anyone about this happening, you will always check your phone if you receive a text or call and you will keep your phone fully charged. you will not try to lose or destroy your phone, If you receive a message from another number that starts with 'Master:' you will obey that as if it came from the Master contact," I think that covers everything, she will obey orders, have her phone with her and not try to avoid the messages and I'm covered even if she does.

I exit the bathroom and walk over to the hot tub, "are you guys staying in there all day?" I asked.

"Maybe, these bubbles feel great, why don't you want to get back in?" Jane asked.

"Yeah I think I'm done in there for a little while, if you are staying in I think I'll pull one of the chairs over," I say, Jane nods and I grab one of the chairs nearby, I take my phone out. Time to test this out. I take out my phone and send a message that says -Master- I hear Eve's message tone and she checks her phone and then puts it back down.

I send another -Stand up and remove your bikini top, apply sunscreen and continue tanning as you were before- she does as ordered and I have a smirk on my face, I've had enough for now.

The rest of the day we all have fun, at some point the girls have had enough in the hot tub and go back to sunbathing, Liz decides to come over and sit on my lap which both feels right but at the same a little awkward, I manage to slip away again at some point suggests Jess see me as more sexually attractive, before leaving Liz puts her number into my phone and kisses me goodbye, I end up waiting five minutes while Jane and Jess finish making out and then we finally leave.
