Joy wakes up, only to find Victoria snuggled up behind her. She doesn't squirm or anything, she just smiles. Looking down, she notes that Victoria's arms are wrapped around her waist. She smiles, and looks out the large window they faced. It was nearing dark out. From a distance, the Eiffel tower stood there. Joy smiled, and looked at Victoria, still asleep.
'Victoria,' she whispers. She could hear Victoria's breathing, and again she says, 'Victoria, wake up.'
Victoria pries one eyelid open and realizes where she is and what she was doing. She looks over, noticing that she's got her arms around Joy. She doesn't fidget she half smiles. Victoria knew it. She was drunk enough to cuddle with her best friend, and spoon up behind her as she took a nap. Finding it amusing, she smiles at the thought.
Victoria didn't know what to feel, for a long time. Ever since Joy came into her life, she never stopped lusting over her. Her musical accent, the way she pronounced certain things, watching her as she bent over to pick up something, or the way she wrinkled her nose when she was disgusted, all these things Victoria found very attractive. Now Victoria had had relationships with other women before, but only one other person knew about them…Joy. Victoria had been in so many triangles and other ways of relationships, she never told Melanie, because she knew Melanie wouldn't understand. But at this moment, she found herself, spooned up next to her best friend. Something had to have happened. She sits up, and Joy does too.
'Do you have any idea what happened tonight between us?'
Joy was in a rut. Should she tell her what she did while drunk? It never surprised Victoria, but she knew Victoria might want to be aware what had occurred.
'If I tell you, don't be surprised.'
Victoria adjusts herself on the pillow.
'Tell me, Joy. It can't be that bad. Nothing I haven't done before.'
Joy takes a deep breath before speaking, and then says,' You proceeded to make out with me in the limo.'
Victoria appears stunned for a second, and then smiles. 'Did I enjoy myself?'
Joy tries to stifle a laugh. It was typical of Victoria, always trying to make light of something completely awkward. 'Yes you did, Tori. You enjoyed it… quite a bit.'
Victoria smiles at that thought. 'Anything else I did?'
Joy smiled sweetly. 'You let me do a lot of things, but I stopped because…' she paused, and Victoria took that opportunity to cut in.
'Why did you stop? I wouldn't have minded if you took advantage of me. Hell, I wouldn't have cared. Better you than someone I didn't know.'
Joy smiles a little. 'Really? You mean that?'
Victoria grabs her hand, and looks into her eyes, smiling. 'I love you, Reyjoyla Scroggs.'
Joy smiles sweetly, 'Like, love as a friend kind of love, or more than that?' she wanted to gauge what Victoria's true feelings about her were. Not ones induced by alcohol…her real feelings.
Victoria takes both hands in hers, and smiles brightly. 'More than that, dear. I've loved you from the moment I've laid eyes on you.'
Joy looks at her, stunned. Did Victoria really just confess that? She was a bit floored, but otherwise flattered. So the feelings she had were actually real. They weren't forced, they were ultimately real and present.
'Can I kiss you?' Victoria asks, grinning. Joy looks at her, tears streaming down her cheeks. She whispers softly, 'Of course you can, I've been waiting for you to.' Victoria nods silently, tears also streaming down her cheeks. Throwing her arms around Joy, she kisses her gently against her soft lips. She pauses, and presses Joy's nose against her own.
'I love you, and nothing is going to change that. I promise you that, 'she says, her hands holding Joy's face close to hers. Joy was trying hard not to cry, trying so hard to not let the tears fall against her cheeks.
'Melanie doesn't have to know, does she?' Joy asks, whispering.
Victoria smiles some. 'Babe, we don't have to tell her. What happens between us in Paris will stay between us and Paris.'
Joy smirks a little. 'You implying we're going to do things?'
Victoria raises an eyebrow. 'Of course my sweet, beautiful Reyjoyla. And it will be beautiful and amazing, and you'll never forget what happened here. Never will you forget it.'
She presses another kiss on Joy's pursed lips and Joy smiles a little. 'Sounds intriguing to have a secret only we have, 'don't you agree?'
Victoria grins and presses Joy's face once again close to her own.
'I agree, love. Can I hold you, and cuddle with you? I want to feel you in my arms.'
Joy sits closer and Victoria takes her in her arms.
'Anything we do together these next two weeks except for the sightseeing and wine tastings, we can't tell Mel about, alright?'
Joy nods,'Alright. As you said, what happens in Paris stays in Paris.'
She traces her fingers against Joy's arms, and Joy shivers a little from the feeling of Victoria's fingers brushing against her skin. Victoria sighs, and wraps her arms around Joy's waist; she leans in kissing Joy against the nape of her neck. Pausing, she replies, 'I never imagined you in this way before, it's like we were meant to be together.
Joy gasps from feeling Victoria's soft pouty lips against her neck. 'Yes,' she says, her voice escaping like air escaping from a balloon. She couldn't believe what was happening. At this moment, she was sharing an intimate moment with her best friend, Victoria Chase.
Victoria smiles sweetly, whispering in her ear,'Hey, gorgeous.'
Joy smiles and turns to kiss her friend again. She wanted to feel it as many times as she could. She wanted to feel Victoria's lips against hers, the smooth lips gently gliding against her lip.
Reaching to unbutton Victoria's blouse, Joy smirks, and says, 'More.'
Victoria smiles and completes unbuttoning for her. She reveals a black tank top that was tight. Joy bites her lip, and pushes Victoria gently to the bed. She gently pushes the tank top up, revealing a toned figure, and proceeds to kiss her all over. The kisses were gently and softly given, and Joy brushed up gently with her lips, and looked up to smile.
'It's only just begun, 'she says, biting her lip.
