Support Bubble

During the COVID crisis back in 2020/21 here in England, the government introduced a relaxation of the lockdown rules. One of the restrictions involved the ‘support bubble’. This is where a single person can join other individuals in an existing 'locked-down isolation bubble'. After three months in lockdown, left to their own devices, who knows what might happen.

“Come on, Lou, it will be fun, plus it will get you out of that little London flat of yours,” laughed Kaz as she smiled at the face of her best friend on the video call. Lou raised her right eyebrow as she thought about it, and Kaz seized on the ‘tell’ and went on, “You can still work from home here, as we can set up an office for you, and anyway, it will give me someone else to talk to apart from Kevin.”

 

Lou seemed to be seriously considering it. At 31, she and Kaz were still best friends, a friendship that had started when they roomed together at university, 13 years ago. The friendship was strong enough to weather the changes in their lives, which had taken many different directions after leaving school. Lou had joined a large consultancy firm in London and travelled all over the world, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo to LA. Yes, she earned quite a considerable sum for her expertise, but at the expense of her personal life. Her lovers, both male and female, had been short-term affairs, and this meant that she had been on her own for the last three months with just her toy collection to keep her company. Frankly, this was getting somewhat stale.

 

Laughing, she said, “OK then, if that's what you truly want. I'll move up this weekend, though I suspect it will only be for a few weeks since I believe they're looking to reopen the office.” Muttering silently to herself, “Whether that includes me or not, who knows?” She hadn’t shared that with her best friend yet, as there was every possibility of redundancy. She wasn’t that particularly bothered by this as, financially, she was pretty secure for a few years. Who knew? Maybe, if it did happen, she would take a different direction with her life. Perhaps find a nice man, or woman for that matter, to settle down with and enjoy the more relaxed life that Kaz seemed to have mastered.

 

Clicking the call closed, Lou looked around her flat and walked, still naked, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, not caring who saw her. She hadn’t revealed to Kaz that she was naked, but would have done had Kaz shown the slightest interest. "She's in love with cock far too much,” said Lou to the empty flat as she padded into the walk-in shower. As she soaped her 5’4” frame and caressed her own full round breasts, she yearned as she always did for the fingers tweaking her nipples to be those of her best friend.

 

Lou had always made it very clear to Kaz that she lusted after her tall, 5’8”, willowy frame. In their university days, when they shared a flat, she would often amuse herself by masturbating in front of Kaz and telling her exactly what she was thinking. To her frustration, Kaz never reacted, or got angry, or, for that matter, showed any emotion other than amusement, as she would wander out of the room muttering, “But I really do love cock.”

 

Lou’s lewd behaviour never spoiled their relationship to the point that, when Kaz announced she was getting married, Lou accepted her request to be her bridesmaid with great delight.

 

Kaz and Lou's lives had taken different directions, although Kaz had graduated with a degree and started to pursue a career not dissimilar to Lou’s; then Kevin had come along. Lou had laughed at her when she was told that he was a real-life African prince. "Just don't buy into the deal about sending him your life savings so he can share that 50 million quid he has stashed in a Swiss bank," Lou advised. Kaz just smiled; however, Lou’s doubt died when she met him and found out it was true.

 

Kaz was 22 when she met Kevin, who was just over 15 years older than her, but you wouldn’t have known it by experiencing his youthful attitude. He was like a statue, chiselled from dark, highly polished mahogany, with skin as smooth as silk and a voice that rumbled like distant thunder. When he laughed, which he did quite often, his whole body shook with joy, his pearly white teeth filling his face. Clearly, from the way he looked at Kaz, he was devoted to her and at the first dinner the three of them shared, Lou was captivated by her best friend's fiancé. Kevin was worth a fortune and had built a technology business that he had sold to an American firm. This allowed him and Kaz to retire young, with the intention of having lots of children. Sadly, the following nine years of marriage had not been kind to them. They had not been blessed with the children they both so desperately desired. Despite numerous tests and treatments, it looked like that was not going to happen, though their marriage was still strong.

 

The two women didn’t see each other as often as they used to since Kevin and Kaz moved to the country, but every six months or so, Kaz would come to London for a 'girls' weekend'. Lou remembered the time not long after Kaz got married, with the pair sitting and chatting after a drunken night out, pub crawling and dancing their way across London.

“How’s married life treating you, then?” Lou asked as she sipped the large gin and tonic she had made and, at the same time, ogled her best friend’s breasts, wondering if she should make another try at getting her into bed.

 

“Absolutely wonderful,” Kaz giggled, “Though I am surprised I can walk.”

 

“So, it’s true then, what they say?” said Lou,

 

“Oh yes,” Kaz drawled as she held her hands far apart. She then made a large 'C' with her thumb and forefinger to indicate a girth that shocked Lou, causing her eyes to open wide in disbelief and, at the same time, sending a pulse to her pussy.

 

“Guess there is no chance of me getting inside your knickers, then?” Lou said half hopefully, but in her mind, she was seeing Kevin’s huge tool as described by her friend and could feel her mouth going a little dry and her pussy getting wet.

 

Kaz roared with laughter, “You never give up, do you? Now tell me about your love life, any man... or woman currently occupying your bed?”

 

Lou had described the brief one-night stands with more glamour and excitement than they actually contained, but all the time she was thinking about how far Kaz’s hands had been apart and how big that 'C' had been when she described Kevin. That night, after they had gone to their separate beds, Lou lay on her back masturbating, as she pictured her best friend with her legs draped over Kevin’s shoulders, being ploughed into ecstasy by his long black snake.

Lou hummed happily to herself as she packed what she would need for a few weeks into two suitcases. These she hauled down to her car in the basement garage. Returning back to the flat, she cleared the fridge of anything perishable, then packed her laptop and overnight bag with her essentials. A final walkthrough of the flat, and she was ready. Not knowing what the set-up was likely to be at Kevin and Kaz’s, Lou decid
