A/N: This is the longest chapter I've ever written. I didn't realize it was so long until I typed it up!
Warning: There is a more intense make out scene in this chapter.
Chapter 4
Amber was sitting directly across from Penny at the library. She was supposed to be working on her part of the written report but she couldn't help glancing at Penny. Those ponytails were so sexy and the way she always licked those lollipops was a real turn on! She really liked Penny and she was no longer denying it to herself. She thought about it when Penny left her house yesterday. She was so glad Penny kissed her back that she happily posed for the pictures in the photo shoot her mom set up for her. Her mother took it as happiness to be entering yet another beauty contest but she really had no idea. Velma Von Tussle would literally die if she knew what she was really happy about, and Amber's friends would probably never speak to her again. That was why it had to be a secret. Her and Penny's own little private secret. It actually made it more exciting. Amber looked back down at her paper and started back working but she couldn't concentrate, as a matter of fact she had written only one paragraph while Penny was on her third page. She didn't want Penny to think she was trying to make her do all the work, and then she would think she was just using her but that wasn't true. This wasn't like using some dweeby guy to do her home work and then telling him she never liked him when he was done. She really did like Penny. The only thing she wasn't so sure about was how Penny felt about her. She knew Penny was devoted to Seaweed and she was very jealous of it.
"Amber are you okay?" Penny whispered to her in the quiet library. "I'm fine. I just can't concentrate." Amber whispered back. "Don't worry I'm almost done. I'll help you."
Amber shot Penny a grateful smile and then attempted to play footsie with her under the table but Penny pulled her foot back. "Amber, people are around." Penny whispered looking around the crowded library. "No one's going to notice." Amber whispered back and then attempted to do it again. "Amber please." Penny pleaded. Amber pulled back disappointed. Penny noticed how upset she was and then said "Look if you want we can go to the ladies' room for a minute." Amber was very pleased with her suggestion and a minute later they were in one of the stalls. "I've been wanting to kiss you all day, Penny." Amber said and pinned Penny against the wall and kissed her.
"Amber, I want to you, too. I don't know what it is about you but kissing you felt so great last night." Penny said and returned Amber's kiss. They kissed for a minute and then Penny pulled back. "We should….um… get back to work" She said. Amber didn't care about the assignment anymore she just wanted to stay in the bathroom and kiss Penny. She also knew that getting an A was important to Penny so she reluctantly agreed, but not before she kissed her once again. They left the bathroom and headed back to their table.
"Penny!" Amber heard a voice say behind her. She turned around and saw Seaweed Stubbs. "Oh hi Seaweed I didn't know you'd be here!" Penny cried. Seaweed pulled her into a hug. "Tracy said you were here so I decided to surprise you. I've looked all over for you. Where have you been?" Penny looked down guiltily and said "In the restroom." If only he knew what they were doing in the restroom! Amber suddenly felt bad she didn't think twice about stealing someone's boyfriend before but this was different, and it wasn't like she was going to break them up. As long as Penny made out with her, she was okay with her and Seaweed's relationship. Seaweed kissed Penny on the lips and Amber's face burned up with jealousy. "Oh hi Amber," Seaweed said like he just noticed her standing there. "Hi" Amber said. Seaweed looked shocked and Amber guessed it was because she wasn't being mean. She knew that being mean to Seaweed wasn't going to impress Penny. This was why she was being nice to him. "So are you guys done here?" Seaweed asked. "Well, we still have some of the report to do and tomorrow we are going to start on the model." Penny explained. Amber noticed her mother making her way towards them and she didn't look too happy. "Oh great," She murmured under her breath.
"Amber Von Tussle! Why are you still here?" Velma said and then glared at Penny and Seaweed. "Mom, we still have work to do." Velma shook her head and said "You're done for today. I've arranged for us to have dinner with Dan Albertson."
"Who?" Amber asked. Velma rolled her eyes and explained. "He's one of the judges at the Miss Teen Baltimore pageant. If we get in good with him you'll be a shoo-in to win. I'm working on meeting with some of the other judges, too." Amber knew exactly what her mom had in mind. She heard those old rumors about how her mom won Miss Baltimore Crabs and was embarrassed about it. She tried to deny it but her mom embarrassed her more by bragging to the council that she had done it. Now it looked like she was willing to do the same thing so Amber could win. That was so disgusting! "Mom, we still have work to do." Amber protested. "No, Amber get your things and come with me! We have to get home. Now, tell your friend Polly good bye."
"It's Penny" Seaweed said before Amber could. Velma simply rolled her eyes. Amber grabbed her books and told Penny she'll see her tomorrow. Then Velma dragged her out of the library. "You see the type of people that girl hangs around? I'll be glad when this project thing is over so you won't have to see her again." Velma said as she practically dragged Amber to the car. Amber didn't say a word. Her mom had no idea what was really going on.
"I'm sorry about my mom," Amber said as they worked together in the school's art studio the next day. Penny couldn't help thinking their kiss was the most beautiful thing she ever experienced, and she also couldn't help thinking of Seaweed. It was hard enough for them to see each other as it was and then she cheated on him with Amber Von Tussle of all people! She felt so guilty about it but she wouldn't dare tell him the truth. She could lose him forever, plus she had a feeling that Amber was falling for her. "You don't have to apologize for her all the time. I understand remember?" Penny reminded her. Amber grabbed some more of the clay to form it into the little bricks they were building for their project. Both of their hands were covered in clay and their clothes were stained with it. Penny was surprised Amber didn't freak out because of it since she was usually such a glamour girl. "Does your mom know you're here?" Penny asked it was four fifteen the time Amber was supposed to be dancing on The Corny Collins show. When Amber suggested they meet in the art studio after school, she didn't even think about it until now. "No, I called and told her I was sneezing a lot and she told me to go straight home and rest. The preliminary rounds to the Miss Teen Baltimore pageant are in a few days and she can't have me getting sick. That's how I knew I would work. What did you tell your mom?"
"I actually told her the truth. She doesn't mind me staying after school to do work. I've told her that several times but this is the first time it was the truth."
"So you lie to your mom a lot?" Amber concluded.
"Well, I have to in order to watch the Corny Collins show, and to…" Penny stopped herself from saying to see Seaweed. She knew Amber didn't want to hear about him. "I know hat or should I say who you are talking about." Amber said reading her mind. Amber looked upset for a minute and quickly regained her composure. They worked in silence for awhile before Penny spoke up.
"Amber, I really like being with you."
"I love being with you, too. You are the only person I can really be myself around." Amber confessed and put her hands on Penny's face and pulled her into a kiss. She starts to stroke Penny's hair and Penny put her arms around Amber's waist. Their mouths were open and Penny felt Amber's soft tongue. Penny's chest clenched up excitedly as she moved her hand up Amber's pink skirt and towards her buttocks. Amber stuck her hands down Penny's back to find the zipper to her jumper. She found it and started to pull it down. Penny self consciously flinched but the relaxed. She had to admit kissing Amber was different then kissing Seaweed but in a good way. Amber pulled Penny's jumper down to her waist and reached under her shirt. Amber's mouth tasted delicious it was even better then the red lollipops she loved so much.
Suddenly, the door to the art studio flew open. Penny and Amber pulled away from each other quickly, and looked into Tracy's shocked face. She must have seen a lot. It was so obvious! "What the hell is going on?" Tracy cried in horror.
"Shit." Was all Amber could think of to say.
