When Sarah arrived at the Beach Café the next morning, Marina brought her iced tea and said, “Tall and gorgeous was here yesterday, inquiring after you. She asked if I knew you and if you come here often.”
Gaping in disbelief at the similarity between her story and reality, Sarah blushed as she thought about how her tale had progressed.
Grinning, Marina asked mischievously, “Naughty fantasies come true?” Laughing, as Sarah blushed even more, Marina said, “I didn't tell her who you are, but I told her you'd certainly be here in the morning. I'd be careful, though, Sarah,” said Marina seriously, “Her partner was waiting outside, and they left arm in arm. And they looked rather happy and content, as if their relationship was rather a long standing one and they knew each other quite intimately.”
Hearing this information, Sarah felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her and she said grumpily, “Thanks for drowning all hopes.”
Patting Sarah on the shoulder, Marina said, “Awww, come on, I'm sure you'll find your princess one day, Sarah.”
Sighing heavily, Sarah opened her laptop.
Not in the mood to work on her novel, Sarah brought up the file of the erotic story, which she had expanded to the length of a novelette the day before. Refusing to re-read what she had written so far, she at least wanted to create a happy-ending for her characters, thus she completed the story by having the protagonists move in together and live happily ever after.
Having finished by noon, Sarah wasn't too surprised that Sam had not shown up. And although disappointed, she also felt a sense of relief, as she knew that she was not up to just a holiday affair, as much as her nether instincts were trying to convince her otherwise.

Some time later, Sarah was just in the process of re-reading the little naughty story despite her better judgement when she noticed someone approaching the café. Blushing furiously, Sarah cursed under her breath, “Oh shit!” as she recognised Sam's partner; and she quickly closed the compromising file.
“Hiya!” said the female as she reached Sarah's table. “I'm glad you are here. I'm Becky. Sam sent me. She sprained her ankle and was pestering me all day about not having been able to come here in the morning.” Becky rolled her eyes, heaving an exasperated sigh. “Would you agree to come over to our bungalow?”
Staring confused at Becky, Sarah asked, “Uh ... why would you want me to come over?”
“So she can tell you all the lovey-dovey stuff about your magical green eyes, and how cute you look when you are blushing,” said Becky deadpan.
Flushing, Sarah stammered, “Uh ... sorry.”
“No need to be sorry, hon. Unless ... uh ... please don't tell me that you aren't interested in her,” Becky's face fell, and she slumped defeated on the chair, wondering how she was going to tell Sam that she got a rejection from the cute laptop-girl.
Not sure what to make of this weird situation, Sarah said hesitantly, “Um ... I am interested in her, but ... I'm not interested in a threesome and I'm not searching for a holiday fling, either.”
“Great!” said Becky relieved, “As far as I know, she isn't either. Anyway, I'd suggest you talk about intimate preferences with her personally, as I'm not particularly interested in the details of her love life.”
“Uh ... You aren't?” asked Sarah, surprised.
Regarding Sarah with a strange look, Becky said, “Um ... no. Do you want to know all the details of your sister's love life?”
Blinking in confusion, Sarah asked, “You are her sister?”
Halting for a moment, Becky broke into laughter, “Gosh! You thought we were lovers? Now I understand why you were reacting so weird! I assure you, we are just siblings. We are only temporarily living together in the holiday bungalow. We inherited the large old house with the antiques shop in town. And until all the formalities are finished, we are enjoying a holiday together before all the work begins. We are going to turn the store into a women's bookshop.”

The day started for Sarah as it usually did since Samantha had moved in. Sarah awoke in the arms of her gorgeous lover, sending a thank-you prayer to the Goddess for having made her fantasies come true.
