Title: After All the Years
She watched the excitement and the glee play across her friend's face as she jumped on the bed and flopped down twice. They were in her Chicago home getting ready for a girl's night in, even though Veronica and Contessa were late this time around. Something about bad traffic and a last minute stop to get some more goodies.
"So what do you wanna do while we wait?" Maggie said looking up at her hopefully. Emilie bit her lower lip. Her shiny, white teeth making a slight indent. She looked away for a second wondering what she should say. She finally had all the time in the world to have Maggie to herself. After reading all the fanfiction that did not include her friend, the singer was wanting to make sure her redhead still knew she was special to her. However, she knew Maggie was not the type of woman to expect her to make a move, and its not like they ever talked about it except in a joking manner. She honestly didn't know what her friend would say to her if she told her what she felt.
"Emmers you're spiralling. What are you thinking?" Maggie asked scooting closer. Emilie blushed picking at a loose thread on her blanket. She suddenly looked up locking their eyes and took a deep breath. It was now or never she decided, and she was known for going after what she truly wanted.
"I was thinking, I would really like to make love to you before the others get here." Emilie said before running a hand down the smaller woman's bare arm.
"You-for real?" Maggie whispered looking down at Emilie's hand on her arm and the singer thought she felt her tremble.
"For realz. But I won't hold it against you if it's not something you wanna do." Emilie said about to take her hand away. Maggie grabbed it and linked their fingers. The violinist looked back up and with a shy smile squeezed her friend's hand.
"So is that a yes?"
"Its a yes to us trying to be more, but I don' t want to just sleep with you Emmie. I mean I thought about this for a while and-"
"Really? How long?" Emilie asked looking curiously at her and not at all sorry for interrupting. Maggie held up four fingers and giggled as Emilie's green eyes got bigger.
"Four...months or years?" Emilie asked. Maggie sighed now biting her lip in nervous tension.
"Years. I know. I know, pathetic but I couldn't tell you." Maggie said pulling her hand away and standing off the bed. Emilie was stunned having no idea but always thinking Maggie was just playing along. She thought of all the wasted opportunities and the precious moments they spent together. She thought of the nights when her redheaded friend would be peacefully asleep in her arms. She thought of how her heart would hurt a bit wanting to wake up like that next to her everyday.
"You aren't pathetic baby. I...I wanted you for about just as long, but I thought you were only playing. I didn't want to freak you out. Holy shit Mags we wasted a lot of time!" Emilie said her expression changing from stunned disbelief to a grin of bewilderment.
"Are you seriously telling me if I had just said something to you all those times, we could have been having sex?" Maggie said sitting back down on the bed but Emilie shook her head no.
"It's not having sex if I'm with you Magpie. It's making love, if you'll let me show you." Emilie whispered. Her heartbeat racing in her chest as she wrapped a hand around the smaller woman's waist and pulled her close.
"Yes. Show me Emilie." The red haired woman said and Emilie's tender lips descended in a passionate and yet gentle kiss. Their bodies growing closer and the kisses sliding down to Maggie's throat.
"Oh god you have no idea how good you feel. I can't believe I'm finally having you." Emilie whispered her voice becoming husky and deep with desire. Before her friend could answer, the two woman on the bed heard the honk of Contessa's car and immediately pulled away.
They were frozen for a moment quite aware of how much the small amount of touching had excited them both. Emilie pulled back first placing one last lingering kiss on Maggie's pale, pink lips.
"We will continue this later if you still want to. Let's go before they come looking for us." She said and took Maggie's hand in her own, fingers linked leading her out of the room to go help. It was the beginning of an interesting week.
