"Thalia!"

The door to Alycia's apartment was slammed open, knocking over a small pile of paper. Though neither woman cared, especially since Alycia had her legs wrapped around Thalia's waist, arms around her neck, and was laughing way to hard to be healthy. Thalia grumbled and shut the door with her foot, before stumbling into the wall that was just behind her, holding Alycia by her waist.

Thalia took Alycia's head in her hands, gently bringing the shorter girl to face her. Rather quickly, a grin broke out on Thalia's face. She pushed a bit of Alycia's hair back, before leaning in a little and pressing her lips to hers. It was a sweet, short kiss, but it still left them both grinning.

"I'm breaking my mother's heart," Thalia hummed, resting her forehead against Alycia's. The felt the brunettes eyebrows raise in question, but Thalia just kissed her nose and continued. "The longer I stand looking at you, the more I can hear it splinter and crack from ninety miles away."

Alycia couldn't stop smiling, shaking her head slowly and trying to find the words, any words, to say. "You.. you are unbelievable." she said, trying not to laugh.

Thalia began waddling backwards towards Alycia's bed, tackling the other girl's neck with a storm of kisses. "If you had a tattoo, that wouldn't matter." she spoke against the skin of Alycia's neck. "If you had a shaved head, that would be cool." she continued, suddenly feeling the flimsy sheets of the bed against the back of her thighs, and she let herself fall onto it.

Alycia squeaked, holding on to Thalia even tighter then she had been, before collapsing into a fit of giggles and rolling off her girlfriend, which didn't make much of a difference since Thalia only rolled on top of her. "If you came from Spain or Japan," Thalia grinned wildly, before adding; "Or the back of a van," which caused Alycia to laugh, before she continued. "Just as long as you're not from Hebrew school, I'd say; "Now I'm getting somewhere, I'm finally breaking through." I'd say; "Hey, hey, Shiksa Goddess, I've been waiting for someone like you."

Alycia rolled her eyes, straining her neck to reach Thalia's lips. This kiss was longer, but messy and desperate. Teeth clashed against teeth, but neither of them cared.

It was Thalia who pulled away, and began walking around the apartment, slowly unbuttoning her flannel shirt. "I've been waiting through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss, and the Handelman twins. I've been waiting through Heather Greenblatt, Annie Mincus, Karen Pincus and Lisa Katz, Stacy Rosen, Ellen Kaplan, Julie Silber and Janie Stein. I've had Shabbas dinners on Friday nights with every Shapiro in Washington Heights." she said, taking a break from her buttons to count of her fingers. She smiled though, and glanced up at Alycia, who now had a small smile on her face, probably both annoyed Thalia was listing off her exes, and amused at how she was doing it.

"But the minute I first met you, I could barely catch my breath." Thalia hummed, approaching Alycia slowly, her top fully unbuttoned now and exposing the soft skin of her stomach. "I've been standing for days with the phone in my hand, like and idiot, scared to death. I've been wandering through the desert, I've been beaten, I've been hit, my people have suffered for thousands of years..." Thalia paused, her face an inch away from Alycia's for dramatic effect, before whispering. "And I don't give a shit."

Alycia tried to choke down her laugh, she really tried, but her giggle came bubbling to the surface, causing Thalia to burst out in a grin. She placed a kiss on Alycia's forehead, then the bridge of her nose, and each temple, and finally the corner of her mouth before continuing. "If you had a pierced tongue, that wouldn't matter. If you once were in jail or you once were a man, or if your mother and your brother had "relations" with each other, and your father was connected to the Gotti clan... I'd say, "Well, nobody's perfect." It's tragic but it's true." Thalia continued, placing a kiss to Alycia's chin then moving down her neck. "I'd say, "Hey, hey, Shiksa goddess, I've been waiting for someone like..." Thalia paused to lift the edges of Alycia's blouse, before taking it off in one swift motion, and finishing her sentence while admiring her girlfriend. "...you."

"C'mere, dork." Alycia said, tugging Thalia closer by the collar of her unbuttoned flannel. They both fell backwards onto the bed, rolling around in a fit of giggles for a while before Thalia landed with her head on the pillows, and Alycia sat a top her hips, before leaning down and placing a trail of kisses along Thalia's stomach.

So of course Thalia had to keep talking.

"If you drove an R.V., that wouldn't matter. If you like to drink blood, I think it's cute." she spoke without any hesitation, throwing her head back and grinning when she heard Alycia mutter, "Gross," against her stomach. "If you've got a powerful connection to your firearm collection, I'd say, "Draw a bead and shoot." I'm your slave, at your service, just tell me what to do. I say, "Hey hey,"" Thalia paused, grabbing Alycia by her shoulders and pulling her up so they were face to face. "Hey, hey!" She said, before continuing in a softer tone. "I've been waiting for someone, hell, I've been praying for someone.. I think that I could be in love with someone... like you."

Alycia rolled her eyes, before leaning in for a slow kiss, muttering; "I love you too."
