Chapter 1

"We'll take it slow" Nikki said to Helen in response to her declaration that she wanted a woman.

"Yeah, Dead Slow" Helen said back to her in response, walking closer to her at the same time Nikki was, stopping only when their lips meet. They carried on kissing for a few moments, until Helen pulled Nikki into an empty doorway, pushing Nikki against the wall slightly, the kiss deepened.

After a few minutes they pulled apart, both as breathless as each other.

"So now what?" Nikki said rubbing her hands down Helen's arms heading down to her hands.

"I was wondering if I could buy the beautiful woman in front of me a drink" Helen said a beaming smile over her face.

"Sure." Nikki said returning Helen's beaming smile, unbelieving of what was happening, she had thought only moments ago that she lost her for her good and now all the familiar feelings that Helen brought were bubbling back to the surface.

She wasn't sure what to do or even if she should touch Helen, but her dilemma was resolved as Helen reached out and grasped her hand with her own.

"Come on" She said pulling Nikki towards the Club, and through the doors in front, the security guard stationed there smiling slightly as he watched them go through and into the melee of people on the dance floor and surrounding the bar. Fighting their way through the people they made it to the bar, Nikki was recognized instantly and the member of the staff who was serving there came across as soon as they had served the customer they were currently with.

Placing their drinks order; Helen went to grab her purse out of her bag when Nikki stopped her.

"There's no need for you to pay Helen, I'm part owner. So let this be on me, as a way of saying thanks for believing in me."

Once there drinks were placed in front of them, Nikki reached across and grabbed Helen's and passed it to her. Lifting hers up in the air she spoke a few words.

"To the future. To you and me Helen."

"The future..." Helen murmured back, following that by leaning over and kissing Nikki lightly on the lips.

They pulled apart and Nikki's eyes flittered across the room, spotting Trisha standing across the room talking to one of the other patrons. There eye meet from a moment and Nikki could see her ex partners true feelings within her eyes. She had given her blessing for Nikki to go for the relationship but she now could see what her Trisha had given up to make her happy.

Breaking her gaze from Trisha she looked back at the gorgeous woman who is in-front of her, taking Helen's hand she moved her away from the bar and into a quiet corner of the club.

Sitting down opposite each other, Nikki couldn't stop staring at Helen, and she couldn't believe what had happened that day. She was free and she had a chance with the woman she loved.

Helen had spotted the fact the Nikki was staring at her.

"You seem fascinated by something Nikki" Helen said smiling at her

.

"Just by the beautiful woman who is in front of me at this very moment." She said leaning over to caress Helen's face, Helen took hold of her hand and held it tightly

"I want you to come home with me Nikki"

Nikki looked at Helen unsurely, this was not the normal things that she would hear coming from her.

"I'm guessing that you mean later, if you want to take it slow."

Helen took a quick sip of her drink before she started to speak.

"I meant now." She stood up and lent across to whisper into Nikki ear.

"I want you now." She followed that by kissing her slightly on it, and then following it down to her neck.

Nikki's senses had been on over drive since she had walked out of court, prison had dulled her senses, the same smells, and textures every day. But on the outside there was a myriad of smells and sensations and just the texture of Helen's lips on her neck was causing shudders to go through her body and she let out a little moan. Moving her head she captured Helen's mouth with her own, kissing lightly to start with she flicked her tongue towards Helen's mouth she ran it across Helen's bottom lip slightly, and then towards her mouth, unsure if Helen would allow it, but she did, her mouth opened wider and their tongues meet and the kiss deepened.

Neither of them wanted to pull away but Nikki took it upon herself to do so, pulling away she kept her head near to Helen's and spoke softly to her.

"I want you too Helen"

A huge smile took over Helen's face and it sparkled in her eyes, standing up she walked over to Nikki and took hold of her hand, pulling it slightly Nikki got the idea that Helen wanted her to come with her, she stood up and let Helen lead her out of the club, neither of them glanced around as they left, unaware that everyone was looking at them as they departed.

Outside the club, Nikki's arm moved to encircle Helen's shoulders, and Helen's arm snaked around Nikki's waist, each looked at each other and went for a kiss at the same time.

"My car is the other side of town, it's a bit of walk I'm afraid." Helen said this once they had pulled away from each other, disappointment in her voice, this was a stumbling point which kept her from getting closer to Nikki,

"There's a taxi rank two streets away." Nikki said dropping her arm from Helens shoulder down to her left hand, grabbing hold of it she took Helen towards the direction of it. Nikki may have been in prison for a while but certain things never changed especially in London, the fact that a taxi would always be found near a nightclub. This was the only solution that she could see that could help resolve the urgency to be with each other which had started to build.

"Seeing as I brought the drinks, Can you pay for the taxi?"

Helen smiled slightly at that statement, she knew at that moment in time, Nikki had nothing in the way of money on her, by being released directly from the court she had bypassed the chance to gain the pittance of money that would be what was consider to be left of her earnings in Larkhall, the drinks they only slightly consumed were added to a tab that Nikki had as co-owner of Chix.

They soon came upon the taxi rank and jumped in the first available one, Helen hurriedly gave the driver her address, as they rushed into the backseat of the car, desperately trying to keep their hands off each other, not wanting the heat between them to overspill in what was an unsuitable location for what they were feeling.

They soon pulled outside Helen's flat, and she quickly paid for the journey, taking Nikki's hand she pulled her out of the door, and they headed towards the door to Helen's flat, Nikki pulled her hand away from Helen's and proceeded to run it down Helen's back, grabbing hold of Helen's bottom and caressing it lightly.

"Can't you wait a few minutes babe? Helen said as Nikki encircled her with her arms and started to kiss and suck at Helen's neck.

"No, I want you right here and now."

Helen managed to finally remove her keys from her bag, placing the key in the lock, she turned it, pushing the door open to her flat, and she turned round and moved her lips onto Nikki's kissing hard and strong as they made the way down the corridor.

Nikki's hands moved to the sides of Helen as she backed her into the nearest wall,

pulling her lips away from Helen's, she brought her head down to her neck, kissing lightly to begin, she then flicked her tongue out and licked Helens neck lightly, feeling the woman shivering next to her, her hands clawing at Nikki's jacket trying desperately to pull it down her arms. Grabbing her own jacket she pulled it down and dropped it to the floor before taking hold of Helens jacket and pushing it down before moving her kisses down Helens front.

Before Nikki had even realized what had happened she found herself pushed against the other wall.

Helen leant closer and whispered into her ear.

"Your turn now" She said before kissing down Nikki's neck heading towards Nikki's chest which she kissed her way down as she undid each button on Nikki's black blouse
