No Place Like Home
Fic: (1/6)

Rating: Eh, for now PG-13ish – if two girls in a meaningful and physical relationship bothers you, I suggest you go find some other fics to read. If not, then read on:)
Disclaimer: Y'all know it, I don't own any of the characters, they belong to the evil people at ABC who canceled our wonderful show. If it were up to me they would still be on the air, and most likely follow the plot lines of some of my favorite authors on here. :-) No copyright infringement is intended. I'm not making any money off of anything, I'm just a poor college student.
Summery: I suck at summaries, but Jessie is coming back from Australia for a weekend to visit Katie at college.
Feedback: Of course. ConCrit is always welcomed :)
Oh yeah, this is totally un-beta'd, and an English major I am not. So please forgive the misspellings and grammatical errors.
A/N: The first part is in Katie's POV, the second in Jessie's
-------------
I waited anxiously at the airport for her to come out. It had been over two months since I'd seen Jessie last. Two very long months of separation, which was made bearable only by phone conversations once a week, IM conversations (which proved to be difficult due to the time difference), and emails sent back and forth every spare second we had. I circled the airport once again, barely being able to contain my excitement, I was trying so hard to stay calm, but it really wasn't working.
"Singer, keep it together, it's only been two months... damn, what am I saying? Probably the two longest months of my entire life. God, I am so whipped," I said aloud to myself, in a useless attempt to calm my nerves yet again. My only consolation was that in only a few minutes she'd be sitting in the seat next to me, like it should be.
I drove around the terminal for the fifth time, and as I rounded the bend, I saw her. She was so beautiful, even more so than I remember. How I ended up with such an amazing girlfriend is beyond me. Her hair was as golden as ever, falling just below her shoulder blades and curled just a bit, the way that she knows I like it. She was wearing a purple scooped neck sweater, with a matching scarf, and jeans. Jessie truly looked like an angel. That brought a smile to my lips. She was an angel. She was my angel. She had saved my life in more ways than one, she had given me something that I could love more than life itself, and for that I would be eternally grateful to her.
She stood there scanning the cars desperately to find me. I wanted to go to her so badly, I couldn't stand it. Every fiber of my being longed to get out of the car now and run to her, then and there, but I had to wait. The traffic had gotten a whole lot worse, so I couldn't pull up in front as easily as I had the last few times. I mentally cursed. The traffic crept along so slowly and I couldn't take it any longer. I pulled over to where I wouldn't be in anybody's way, turned off the car, got out, and started to run towards Jessie.
"Jessie!" I yelled towards her as I ran. I knew she heard me because she stiffened at the sound of my voice, and was now furiously trying to figure out where I was. All of a sudden she saw me.
"Katie," she breathed as I got closer to her. She dropped her bags and launched herself into my arms. I caught her and she wrapped her legs around my waist. Damn, how I'd missed that feeling. All I could think about was how much I'd missed her, and how much I completely and totally love her.
"Hey there..." I started to get out, but I was silenced by her lips on mine. She kissed me with a passion that I had never experienced before, and I kissed back just as whole heartedly. I could have stayed that way for days, but I decided that it probably wouldn't be a good thing, considering we were in public, and I was illegally parked. Damn, being responsible seriously sucked. I slowed the kiss down, and when we broke away I just stared into her beautiful blue eyes.
"I missed you." She smiled. god how I love her smile.
"I missed you too." She gave me one last quick kiss and I put her down. We grabbed her luggage and not a moment too soon, because as soon as we got back to my car, a very grumpy looking police officer was standing over my car, beginning to write me a ticket. I pulled out the old Singer charm and put on my best smile.
"This is mine, officer," I said in the most flirtatious manner I could muster up. "We were just leaving." He looked at me, then he looked at Jessie. She gave an innocent smile, and it seemed to melt his harsh demeanor, I could tell, he was smitten with her. All I could think was Keep your paws off my girlfriend, mister. Yes, I'll admit it, I am a very jealous girlfriend. I walked over to open her door, and I put my arm around her, so he wouldn't get any ideas. He scowled at me, then nodded and walked off.
"Thanks, Billie, what would I ever do without you?" I asked, jokingly. She shrugged.
"Not much." she said, and gave me the most adorable grin ever. I acted hurt, and she reached up and gave me a quick kiss. I can tell you right now, my defenses are no match for her smiles, or her kisses.
We loaded her stuff into the back of my light blue '99 Ford Taurus. She got in on the passenger side and I closed her door like a gentleman... err... woman. You know what I mean. I went around the car and go in the driver's seat, and by then she had already put up the armrest and scooted over so she could be as close to me as physically possible. I grinned at her as I slipped in behind the steering wheel, beside her, and put one arm around her shoulders and used the other to drive. I started the car and we were off. We made small talk for a few minutes, I asked how her flight was, she asked how life back here was, and all was well and good. We exhausted the small talk for then and sat in a comfortable silence, well, it was comfortable until she decided that she wanted to place small kisses on my neck while I drove. Damn, talk about trying to drive me crazy.
"Ummm, Jess?" I somehow managed to say, I was getting hotter by the second. It was so hard to concentrate on driving. She didn't even look up from her task at hand.
"Hmmmmm?"
"Uh, ehm...are you trying to drive me crazy?" I felt her smile as she continued to kiss me.
"Uh-huh." was the only response I got. The rest of the drive was a blur for me...literally. I muttered a silent prayer of thanks when I pulled up to my apartment and into my parking spot. Jessie looked up as I threw the car into park and turned to look at her. I tried to think of something witty to say, like I normally would, but my mind has pretty much posted an "Out-of-Order" sign the second she started kissing my neck. I just stared into her beautiful blue eyes, which were a much darker shade of blue, the lust quite apparent. I was sure they reflected what my eyes were showing at that moment as well. Not being able to think of anything to say, I cupped her face with my hands and drew her close for a kiss, in which she willingly responded. It started out slow and innocent, but grew more passionate by the moment. I felt her tongue run against my lips, seeking permission to enter, which I willingly allowed.
Before I knew it she was on her back, and my full weight was on her. I supported myself by putting my elbows on each side of her head, tangling my fingers in her hair, and she wrapped her arms around my waist to keep my balance. As our kissing became more passionate, I felt her hands move their way under my shirt. This was almost too much for me. I wanted to do to her what she was doing to me, to show her what it felt like, but I realized that if my hands started roaming, we wouldn't be leaving the car anytime soon. Besides, I was enough of a romantic not to want our first time to be in my car. So I kept my hands where they were and continued to focus completely on the kiss.
I left her mouth and went down her to neck, leaving a trail of kisses as I went. I could tell she liked it by all the deep, throaty noises she was making. Her hands left my side (which I immediately missed the feel of) and she pulled me back up to her mouth and hungrily kissed me.
---------------
I had forgotten how wonderful it felt to have Katie's full weight on me. It was so amazing. Just her touch is enough to almost drive me completely insane. I need to feel her. I need it so badly. I want to feel her mouth on mine, our tongues dueling, but most of all, her skin. I need to feel her skin. So I slipped my hands under her shirt and massaged her skin. I wish she would do the same to me, to caress my skin, but I figured that she was being responsible and restraining herself. I hate her having to be responsible, so I broke the kiss, and she looked at me questioningly. She was so beautiful, with her piercing green eyes full of passion and her lips swollen from the kissing.
"What's wrong?" She inquired.
"Nothing," I replied as I sat up and pushed her off of me. We needed to get inside her apartment before we both totally lost it. She sort of caught where I was going with this, and started to get out of the car when I pulled her close to me again and kissed her soundly.
"We need to finish this inside," I said after I broke the kiss. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded, beaming now. We scrambled to get my luggage out of the back of her car, and up to her apartment on the 3rd floor. She opened the door, we entered, and put my stuff down. As soon as she pushed the door closed, I pinned her up against it, kissing her once again. She broke the kiss after the need for air became too great and pressed her forehead against mine. Katie smiled and pecked at my lips once more, starring into my eyes.
"I missed you so much." I smiled, and was still trying to regain my composure, or at least trying to decide if I wanted to regain my composure. Never once did we break eye contact. I love starring into her captivating green eyes, and all I saw was a look of pure love.
"I missed you too." I needed to be close to her, I just needed to feel her, and so I pulled her in for a tight hug, before resting my head on her chest. She got the idea and put her arms around my waist and laid her head on top of mine. Minutes passed, and we just stood there, memorizing the feeling of being so close to the other person. It was like we were being intimate without really being intimate. I'd never felt so comfortable with anyone else before in my entire life. I was completely and totally at ease. Nothing could have made me happier at that moment. Just holding Katie in my arms was enough to make me the happiest person in the entire world.
