44. Chapter Forty-Four #2
Morgan was getting two fishing rods ready, since that’s all they had at the cottage. They didn’t have any live bait, but Morgan was fixing some spinnerbaits to each line. The plan was to let Nyrah swim away from the cottage, and Morgan and Cody would fish off the dock.
“I feel like I am not helping,” Yana said. “What should I be doing?”
“You can be the photographer.” Cody gave her a quick rundown on how to take a picture with his phone. She still seemed fascinated by modern technology, but grasped the concept well enough. She sat down on the dock behind Cody and Morgan, and watched them cast their lines.
It wasn’t long before Morgan was reeling in the first catch of the day: a small sunfish, about the size of her palm. Yana snapped a pic and Cody sent it off to Bob, earning him his second Friendship Level with the bait shop owner.
Morgan was on a roll, soon reeling in the second catch of the day: a yellow perch, which earned them Bob’s third Friendship Level.
“Look at you! When did you become Bob Izumi?” Cody laughed. “I haven’t caught a single fish for this Friendship quest.”
Morgan shrugged. “Maybe the fish can sense my desperation to finish this stupid game and are helping us out.”
“Who or what is a Bobbazumi?” Yana asked. “A fishing wizard?”
Cody looked over at Yana. “Yeah, something like that. I used to watch his fishing show with Grandpa Sam.”
But after their fantastic start, things slowed down.
Nyrah still hadn’t returned with any catches of her own.
Morgan and Cody had been casting and re-casting for well over thirty minutes before the nekofae reappeared.
She rose out of the water, flinging her head back to toss her long, chestnut brown hair away from her face and shoulders.
Cody couldn’t take his eyes off of her. It was like she was moving in slow motion.
Droplets of golden sunlight-infused water danced around her as she shook her head, and… her breasts were completely bare.
Cody had no clue where her tiny bikini top had disappeared to, but he wasn’t exactly complaining.
Her boobs, which looked like double-Ds on steroids, bounced and swayed as she moved towards him, rivulets of water running down her chest. Her breasts managed to look extra perky, since she had her arms raised straight over her head, holding a large, black catfish in both hands.
As she waded closer to the beach where the water grew shallower, he saw that she had been able to keep her swim bottoms on. She was moving in slow, elegant steps, the water parting around her, beads of water gently dripping off her perfect, peaked nipples and—
“Control-Alt-Delete!” Morgan shouted. She smacked Cody in the arm.
“W-what?” Cody asked.
“Say it!” Morgan said. “It didn’t work for me!”
“Control-Alt-Delete!” Cody shouted and turned to her, confused.
“You didn’t hear the music?” Morgan asked. “There was a sweeping orchestra heavy on the strings, like something out of a James Bond movie.”
“Um…no. Didn’t notice.”
Morgan rolled her eyes and turned to the half-naked nekofae: “Nyrah, your boobs are out and they’re distracting Cody.”
“Huh?” Nyrah looked down and noticed. She quickly moved the big catfish in front of her chest, but grimaced. “Ew! I don’t like this fish on my skin! Take it, please!”
Cody set his rod down and ran down to the beach, quickly taking the fish from Nyrah.
“Yana! Picture!”
“On it!” Yana was ready with his phone and snapped a quick picture of him holding the catfish.
“All good?” Cody asked. Yana confirmed she got the picture and he set the catfish free.
Morgan grabbed Nyrah’s beach towel and tossed it to her. Nyrah thanked her and wrapped herself up, hiding away her boobs.
“I have no idea what happened to my top.” Nyrah’s cheeks were growing more red by the second. “I’m sorry.”
Morgan shrugged, making her own boobs jiggle in her very tiny bikini top. “It happens to the best of us.”
“I have another bikini I can change into,” Nyrah offered. “That is, if you still need my help with the other fish.”
“We haven’t caught anything yet,” Cody said. “So yeah, we could use your help.”
Nyrah ran off to the cottage and Cody sent off the pic to Bob. He got the notification right away:
[Congratulations! You have completed your fourth Friendship Level with Resident Bob Gilbert! Only one more to go until Full Friendship Achieved!]
Nyrah returned shortly, now dressed in a little blue bikini.
She took another look at the final fish they needed: a northern pike, and then dove into the lake.
Morgan cast out her line, but sat down on the edge of the dock, dangling her feet above the water.
Cody sat down next to her, feeling good about how well they were doing, but still anxious that they hadn’t completed Bob’s Friendship quest. Morgan leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder.
“I have been horny for you since the moment I woke up this morning,” she said quietly.
Yana was sitting on the beach now, her eyes locked on the lake. She was probably too far away to hear them.
“I know. Same,” said Cody.
“But instead of having a quickie, you went fishing with Doug and now we’re stuck fishing again.”
“Maybe we can fit something in before dinner.”
“Oh, it’ll be a tight fit, but we’ve made it work before.”
Cody chuckled. “We have.”
“Speaking of tight fits…” Morgan sat up straight, taking on a more serious tone. “I think your first time with Nyrah should be a one-on-one thing. Same with Yana. And maybe only aim for one level up at a time.”
Cody frowned. “We’re kind of in a time crunch. It would be ideal to at least hit Level Two or Three with Nyrah tonight.”
“Yes, but she’s a virgin. Maybe take things slow at first?”
“Does she seem like the kind of girl who wants to take things slow?” Cody asked with a laugh. “She’s been trying to get into my pants since the moment I met her.”
Morgan gave him a stern look.
“Okay, yes, you’re right. I’m only joking. I’m not going to rush her. Or Yana, for that matter.”
Morgan leaned her head on his shoulder again. “Do you remember our first time?”
“Of course I do.” He kissed her on the head. He was about to say more, but something bit his line. His rod jerked so hard it nearly flew out of his hands. He gripped it as he got to his feet, Morgan standing at his side.
The fish violently surged to the right, then the left, the line rapidly spooling out.
It felt strong. Definitely stronger than a little sunfish.
He really hoped it was a pike on the end of his line.
He braced his feet on the dock and started reeling in, the fish putting up a valiant fight the entire time.
Morgan gripped his arm, keeping him steady. “You got this!”
Cody paused every time the fish made a mad dash one way or the next, reeling in between when it slowed before its next attempt at freedom. Inch by inch the line cut through the surface of the water, getting closer to the dock. In a final push he reeled it in.
“Fuck yes!” Cody shouted. “Yana?”
The fish on the end of the line had a long, narrow body with greenish-yellow scales and a white belly. It was most definitely a northern pike. Yana ran over and snapped a quick picture, and Morgan helped free the fish and return it to the lake.
“Here.” Yana passed Cody the phone. He sent the pic to Bob and waited for the notification to appear. Morgan and Yana were watching him, expectantly.
[Congratulations! You have completed your fifth Friendship Level with Resident Bob Gilbert! You are now Good Friends!]
“We did it!” he told them and Morgan whooped with joy and threw her arms around him.
Yana grinned. “We need to find Nyrah.”
As if she heard them, Nyrah popped out of the water. She wasn’t in slow motion this time, there was no music, but once again she was topless.
