We left for work together and I must say I was less than enthused about staring in a porno film. My only sustaining force was the desire to be with Anna in the film and to hold her perfect body in my arms. At the studio, I went into makeup and Anna went about her duties in the office. After I was as pretty as possible, I got up from the chair and went to
find Anna, to remind her we had a film to make. She gets so caught up in the business and forgets she is the star. I approached her office and the door was closed, there were several voices coming from inside, harsh sounding male voices along with Anna's sweet soft voice sounding quite complacent and conciliatory. The sounds were muffled but I got the definite impression of pressure being placed on Anna. I softly knocked on the office door, waiting for a response Anna answered after a moment in a soft tone," Come in." With out introductions three men nodded their heads and exited the room, two were quite large, the third dressed as the consummate business man. There was little acknowledgement of my presence as they departed. Uncomfortably I said, Anna you need to get to makeup, we are shooting in fifteen minutes. She took a second and then gave me a practiced smile and head nod. The movie was quite simple, Anna and I were lesbian lovers, quite comfortable in our relationship and the Polish ingénue was supposed to be straight but curious. She sat on the end of the bed, and Anna and I sipped wine, lying together on the bed. Gertrude, the Polish girl, looked on as Anna and I softly caressed each other trading romantic kisses now and again. Our hands roamed from here to there and always we finished with a soft kiss or two.
Fully clothed, we nibbled each others lips and then turned to Gertrude, smiling and asking her to join us. With a very red face, she climbed into the middle of the bed between us and settled in. Anna stroked her arms, her legs and kissed her cheek. I turned her head to me and lip kissed her for a few moments. Anna was busy tracing her fingers lightly down Gertrude's legs and up toward her special area. Gertrude began to relax and welcomed my tongue in our kissing and soon turned to Anna to French kiss her as well. It is an hour and a half film, so you can fill in the blanks, nature took her course and Gertrude got the whole
lesbian experience including satisfying all her unanswered questions about
kissing and having her way with a woman, well women. Exhausted Anna and I headed home through the heavy traffic, occasionally holding hands and smiling lovingly to each other. The encounter in Anna's office weighed heavy on my mind. I was both concerned for Anna and worried. "Anna can we stop for a drink, maybe treat ourselves for a good days work?"
"Sure love, why not, you were brilliant today. I know a nice little bistro around the corner from the house. Settled at a table in a quiet corner we ordered cocktails and I waited to broach the subject, hoping Anna would bring it up. We sipped our cocktails and played handsies , exchanging romantic eyes, but she avoided the gorilla in the room. "Perhaps I am overstepping my boundaries Anna but I am worried about the men that were in your office today." Anna went silent, her eyes dropped to the table. She remained quiet for sometime, I felt the need to fill the silence. "Anna, we are more than friends now, we are family, I am afraid for you, please confide in me." Her eyes rose from the table and they were wet with tears. She looked deep into my eyes and I saw tears run down her face all the way to her mouth. I swiftly found a Kleenex in my purse and dabbed her tears, pulling her to me in the process. She weeped for a few minutes until her jag was up and then took the Kleenex and blew her noise. "You' re right sweetie, you are my closest friend and lover, if I can't talk to you , who can I talk to?" All I could do was hold her, hoping she was
willing to spill her guts to me. When Anna's sobbing subsided, she sniffled once and then confided in me. "My husband ran up some serious gambling debts, the men today came to collect, it seems he gave my business as his business and set them onto me instead of himself. I know we are married and his debts are my debts but these men are serious." I gave her another tissue and tried to keep my big yap shut, and let her continue. "I feel bad, no terrible about forcing you into making the movies, I know you are not comfortable and are filming them just because I asked you. I knew two weeks ago, that we needed money and if we don't pay theses gangsters, the company will go bankrupt." She drew a breath, looked me in the eyes and continued. These two movies will pay the debt, and get us out from under, I hope someday you can forgive me, because I honestly adore and love you." My heart melted, after hearing the words I had longed to be spoken. Deep inside I felt we were lovers but was too insecure to believe it. Anna collapsed in my arms and had another crying jag, before we spoke again. Once her composure was regained, she spoke directly to me as a friend and confidant. "Sweetie, I told my husband to get out of my life, our life, he is not welcome anymore. That was day before yesterday but still he sent the bad men to see me for the money. I am so furious." "No wonder you have been out of sorts for the last week, Anna why on earth couldn't you come talk to me?" She glanced down before answering, "I am so embarrassed, by his actions and my manipulation of you. I am so in love with you and was afraid you might leave me too." Now it was my turn to cry, she spoke the words I had longed to hear since we met on that train. Anna sat silent, holding me and waiting out my tears. Sitting up straight I looked Anna in the eyes, "Anna, I have felt the same about you since our eyes met on the train. I couldn't bring myself to tell you for fear of rejection. I mean after all you are married and I am just a
house guest, a house guest with delicious privileges however. Now we both burst into tears and hugged each other tightly. Even in this emotional state, I felt my carnal desire for Anna and felt her hands low on my waist, nearly cupping my bottom. "Anna, is this, a temporary separation, or are you through with him?" I blurted this out before my brain could stop me. Anna's eyes opened wide in disbelief, "Honey, he is out of my life, don't you know that you are the only one for me?" I stared deep into her eyes, searching for honesty and that is all I could see there. "You are sure? If he comes crawling back, will you still turn him out?" Anna made the sign of the cross, and blurted out, "Oh my God no, I am finished with the miserable bastard. He has plenty of other girlfriends to lean on, I have closed that door for good, something I should have done a long time ago." She sat erect looking at me, then after a few seconds of silence, she softly and gently took my hands. "If you will have me, I will be yours forever, I don't need a ring, a ceremony or a promise, you are my only true love. Since you came into my life, I have never known such happiness." We are so emotional, I guess we hugged and cried for ten minutes before gathering our composure. As we did, the bartender came over with a bottle of wine and set down two glasses, popped the cork and winked. "Pardon me for overhearing but I must offer you a bottle of wine to celebrate. Love is very hard to find in life, I wish you both a long and happy life." With that he smiled and turned back to the bar. We smiled and I felt Anna's hand on my upper thigh, her eyes full of love and mischief. Before she stole all my decorum by activating my loving instincts, I took her hand and placed it in mine. "Anna, I have made a decision, and I don't want any argument. I have lived alone in America for many years and have saved a small fortune for my retirement. I want to pay off the gambling debt and leave your business financially solid. You have worked hard to build an empire and I won't let a gambler take that from you." Anna began to protest, but I put my finger to her lips and handed her the wine glass. When I removed my finger, we drank and then kissed deeply. If I had died in that moment, life would have been worthwhile finally. We left a sizable tip in the table and went off hand in hand, stopping three or four times on the way home to boldly kiss in the street.
