Beached Whale – A Love Song Duet

(Episode 7.09)

Caroline: Look at the sea! (Josie: Look at the sea!)

Then, look at me.

Look at the sky! (J: Look at the sky!)

And see the love in my eye.

J: Once our love had its freedom,

Through the sea it did sail, (C: Yes it did!)

Then those that hated us wanted us washed up,

On the beach,

Both: Just like a beached whale!

J: But we can be lying on this beach,

And we really don’t care. (C: We just don’t care!)

Our love may be like a beached whale,

And we may be running out of air!

C: But our love’s big! (J: Big!)

Oh, so big! (J: Oh, so big!)

J: Like a whale!

C: Bigger than a whale!

J: Bigger than a whale!

C: Bigger than a whale!

J: Bigger than a whale!

C: Our love is bigger! (J: Bigger!)

Both: Bigger than a wha-a-aaaaaaaale!

Love is Bigger Than a Whale

***

They had just finished taping. Caroline sat next to Josie as they removed the last of their stage makeup. Usually, they chatted during “girl’s time”, but tonight the atmosphere in the room felt different. They’d sung a love song tonight – it should have been silly, but something happened out there. There had been a spark that flashed between them, and Josie had felt it so strongly that she’d actually lost her balance and had to clutch Caroline for support.

“All right, Wendy me girl, what happened out there? Have you been noshing on diet pills again? I thought you were going to take me down with you!” Caroline put down the towel she’d been using and waited for an answer. Josie sighed. (She’s the only one besides my mum still calling me ‘Wendy’. I don’t know if I find it cute or annoying!) “Carl, I don’t know what happened! But you can’t tell me you didn’t feel anything – I saw that look in your eyes.”

Caroline grinned, and suddenly looked like the neighborhood tomboy. With a wicked twinkle in her eyes she giggled, “Cor, it was a bit of a lightning bolt, wasn’t it? Mind you, I’m not complaining…” She became very still, very serious. “You’ve never thought about…”

“About what, Carl?” Suddenly Josie blushed as an answer came to her. “Oh my! I didn’t! I hadn’t!” “Ooooh, love! You’ve gone all Mavis on me! Don’t get your knickers in a twist – I’m not proposin’!” Caroline got a pensive look on her face. “But it is a nice change from the ‘slap-n-tickle’ you get from the boys. Rather sweet in a mind-blowing sort of way.” Josie sat speechless, her mouth open in amazement. “Now, don’t go gaping at me like a cod fish, Wendy Lawrence! Love is the reason for living, and I’m not going to say no to any experience! Sure, I love the lads, but a bit of feminine floof is nice too!” She shrugged. “If that makes me a bit of a Donna Juana, so be it. But don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.”

Josie managed to close her mouth, but the thoughts Caroline’s confession had unleashed were harder to contain. (In all the years I’ve known her, I knew she played fast and free with the fellas. She’s probably had her bit of fun with every man on the show except the poofter and the newlyweds. But girls?) Her mind strayed over the games they’d been in. Carl’s hands did have a tendency to wander… (But I thought she was playing! Oh… my… God. I played right along with her! Does she think…) Before she could say anything, Caroline held up her hand. “Before you ask, I figured you didn’t know. But if you ever decide to see how the other half loves, I’d be honored to be the one.” She reached over, held Josie’s hand and gently kissed it before releasing it.

They didn’t discuss Carl’s love life again for some time. Josie felt uncomfortable hearing stories about the women and men she’d loved, and Carl made it a point not to discuss them with her. Things settled back to normal – Carl still liked to make Josie “jump a fair bit” when they played opposite each other, but she also tried to stay out of the picture after taping.

“Stupid, bleeding transit strike!” Caroline glared out the window at the rain that scrubbed the streets. “At least we had a place to stay, Carl! Thank God the studio always has rooms booked – we could have been sleeping on cots in the dressing room!” Josie was putting the finishing touches on the pedicure she’d given herself. She waggled her fingers at Caroline. “Come on over here. This shade would look so glam on you!” Caroline sighed as she closed the curtains, turned and then smiled. “Ooooh, love! For fingers and toes? Wonderful idea!” Noticing that Josie had capped the bottle of polish, Caroline burbled “Bombs away!” and hurled herself onto the bed beside Josie. “Now cut that out, Carl! Between you and the weather, I’m beginning to get a bit seasick!” “I’ll be good, Wendy me girl, good as gold! Now, fingers or toes to start?” She squirmed around so she faced Josie; her tee shirt nightgown hiked up around her thighs.

“Mmmm… fingers I think. May as well do the nicest job there – if you wiggle around when I’m doing your toes I won’t be responsible for the consequences!” She mock-glared at Caroline, who pretended to quail before Josie’s “wrath”. “Ooh! Yes, Ma’am! I’ll be as good as gold, Ma’am!” “Now, hush! Put something on the telly, would you?” Josie handed the remote to Caroline (with satellite TV, there should be something good on somewhere in the world!). Caroline surfed the channels one-handed while Josie worked on the other hand. “Ooh! Would ya look at that!?” Josie looked up and caught a glimpse of two partially clad people standing amongst the tuxedo-clad bodies of partygoers. “That’s not… Good grief, it is! ‘Rocky!’ I haven’t seen that in ages! Leave it there, Carl – and I’ll ring down for room service to send up a ton of popcorn and fizzy pop. This should be fun!”

They placed an order with room service and sat back to watch the movie as Josie put the finishing touches on Caroline’s manicure. “I haven’t had popcorn in ages! Now, don’t you dare stick your fingers into the popcorn – they’re not dry yet!” She popped kernels into Caroline’s mouth as they continued to watch the film. “So, when do I get me tootsies done? Or are we done for the night?” Josie sighed. The film wasn’t as much fun as being in a theater with a live audience screaming out the lines. (And I don’t want Carl to think I’ve completely gone round the bend!) “Right away, yer Highness!” Josie sat cross-legged on the bed and took one of Caroline’s feet into her lap. “I’m not blocking the screen, am I?” “I can see just fine, Wendy, love. Promise you won’t tickle? It wouldn’t do to make a mess on the coverlet – the studio would have our heads!”

She had just finished with one foot and was ready to start on the other when she looked at the screen. There were Magenta and Columbia lying on a bed, spying on Janet. Josie couldn’t help it – the song was so campy it demanded to be sung along with. “Ta-ta-ta-ta-touch me! I wanna feel dirty! Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me, Creature of the Night!” Capping the nail polish, she took a small pillow and lightly thwapped Caroline with it.

“Of course, you realize, that this means war!” Caroline set the popcorn bowl on top of the desk and grabbed another pillow. She dove beneath Josie’s swinging arm and bopped her on the chin. “Hey! That’s not fair!” Josie swung again, and this time Caroline ended up straddling Josie’s middle. She started tickling, and the pillows soon fell to the floor as Josie fought for breath against the giggles. Caroline looked down at her. (Cor, she really is gorgeous, and she doesn’t even know it!)

Josie’s giggles slowed down, and then stopped. She looked up at Caroline with a puzzled expression. “Carl?” Caroline leaned forward. Her breath tickled Josie’s forehead and Josie’s eyes grew wide as she watched Caroline’s lips come closer before they brushed against her forehead. She gently kissed the tip of Josie’s nose, and then kissed her full on the lips.

The feeling of her lips against Josie’s was unlike anything she’d ever felt before. Caroline’s lips were soft, so full, so sweet! The sensation almost took her breath away. Caroline, sensing a weakening of the defenses pressed her advantage and wormed her tongue into Josie’s mouth. Their tongues dueled, teased, and danced with each other as the kiss went on and on. Caro stroked her fingers lightly down Josie’s neck and then pushed up her tee shirt. Josie wasn’t wearing a bra – they’d both gotten ready for bed before watching the movie.

Caroline’s small hand cupped Josie’s breast, wicked fingers pinched and teased the nipple while her tongue kept Josie’s company. A moan… a sigh… and two desperate arms pulled Carl closer.

Body pressed against body. Caro’s knee pressed down to separate Josie’s thighs. “God, Carl… do you know what you’re doing to me?” Caroline looked deep into her friend’s glazed eyes and smiled. “Course I do, Wendy, love! Wot? You want me to stop?” Her knee brushed teasingly against the crotch of Josie’s sleep shorts as she used her lips and tongue to trace figure eights around breasts that were flushed and rosy. “Oh, God, please!” she whimpered and arched upward. “Oooh, I intend to please, Wendy, me girl!” her whisper tickled against hot skin. “Just lie back, love, lie back and feel. That’s all you have to do.”

Josie dropped back to the mattress, panting. Sly fingers tugged on her sleep shorts and pulled them down and she raised her hips – both in an attempt to get rid of the clothing and to press toward the teasing tempting hands that promised so much.

The next thing to go was her tee shirt. As she lay back, Josie’s dark hair fanned out on the pillow. Her eyes were almost closed as she looked up at Caroline. The smaller woman grinned and tugged her own nightshirt off before blowing a kiss. Josie let her gaze travel all over the body straddling her. She may not be tall, but she definitely had curves! Caroline’s breasts were almost too big for her frame, her waist slender before meeting the luxurious curve of her hips. “Wotcher lookin’ at Wendy, love?” She smiled, knowing the answer, even as she studied Josie’s body. The two of them made a quite a pair: Josie all ebony and ivory, Caro all peaches and cream… tall and short, angel and imp…

Right then, the imp wanted the angel. She leaned down again and captured Josie’s mouth with her own. Her teeth played with Josie’s lower lip as she pressed her body tightly against the willing one beneath. One hand cupped and teased a breast; the other hand swooped lower to tickle above her mound. Long legs parted under the insistent pressure of a rosy knee. Caroline’s tongue flicked and thrust into Josie’s mouth as her fingers traced lazy circles down to her friend’s delta.

Josie moaned. Her eyes were fully closed; one hand stroking Carl’s hair while the other cupped a breast. Caroline’s fingers found Josie’s little button and she lightly dragged a nail against its sheath. Wild eyes flew open as Josie gasped. She couldn’t speak – couldn’t free herself from the sensations, and at that moment she didn’t want to be free. Carl released Josie’s mouth and began kissing and licking her way downward. She could feel the pulse hammering in Josie’s throat, felt the shudders that rippled through that beautiful body. (Oh, God! She’s so sweet! Her first time…) Caroline whispered softly into a rose-blushed ear. “Ooh, love, I want this to be a time you’ll remember for the rest of your life. No guilt, love, no regrets… I’ll stop if you want me to. Just tell me what you want…”

“Don’t stop! Oh God, Carl – don’t stop!” “No chance of that, love, if you’re sure? Really sure?” She looked deeply into Josie’s eyes searching for any sign of doubt. There was none. Josie managed a small nod as she surrendered to the feelings Caroline was stirring in her. Her eyes closed as she pulled Caro to her with a fierceness that surprised both of them. This time, it was her tongue that found a new home as her hands roamed over Caroline’s body. With a low moan, Caroline broke contact to kiss her way down her friend’s torso. Teeth nipped, tongue stroked and painted lines of desire on tender skin. Fingers tickled, pinched, strummed and danced on warm flesh that vibrated and hummed like a fine instrument.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, love…” Caroline whispered breathily. A shuddering sigh was the answer, and Josie’s legs splayed open. “Lemme look at you, love… You don’t know how abso-bleedin’ gorgeous you are right now!” One finger lightly brushed against full wet lips, teasing… testing… “P-p-please!” Josie whimpered and thrust her body at Caro’s hand. “Right away, love!”

Fluttering kisses rained down on Josie’s belly and thighs as Caro’s fingernails lightly scratched and tickled their way up to their harbor. A finger dipped down and separated her lips before retreating, and Josie moaned. “Whatcher want, Wendy, love? This?” Again a finger slipped between her lips, lightly brushing her ‘little button’. “Or this, love?” Wickedly, she dipped into Josie’s honey pot with one finger before retreating again. “This?” Her finger slipped back in and was joined by another as she began slowly thrusting in and out. “Or this?” The smell of her friend’s excitement was intoxicating, and she couldn’t resist any longer. With a sly twist of her hand, Caroline gently parted Josie’s lower lips and flicked her tongue out

“Oh!” Josie whispered as she felt the first light touch. “Lovely… so lovely, Wendy me girl! So sweet, dearie…” Caro dipped down again and let her tongue caress Josie’s little button. Her fingers continued to minister as well, moving in and out as she varied the tempo and intensity. Josie’s head tossed on the pillow as her hips bucked. One hand clenched the sheets, the other caressed Caroline’s hair.

“Carl, I… Oh, god! I… I’m…” “Mmmm?” Caro lightly raked her teeth against the button, her hum vibrating through Josie’s core. She turned her head enough to bite into the pillow and muffle the sound as she screamed her orgasm. Caro slowly removed her fingers one at a time as her friend’s spasms slowly subsided. She softly placed one last kiss on Josie’s belly before sitting up.

“Well, Wendy me love?” Josie slowly opened her eyes and looked at her friend. “I… oh my…” Caroline smiled down at the gorgeous body in front of her and leaned in to kiss Josie lightly on the forehead. “You see, dearie? Love * is * bigger than a whale, innit?” “Lots bigger, Carl… lots and lots bigger.” Caroline dimmed the lights and got back into bed with her best friend spooning behind Josie, one arm hugging her close. She kissed the nape of that sweet neck lightly before whispering “Thank you, love.”
