Chapter 4
Claire yawned tiredly as the long stretch of road before her blurred from her sleepy vision. She was driving her Hummer along the interstate highway with a napping K-Mart by her side as she sang a sad love song to herself about two lovers - one dying tragically in the other's arms in the end. Claire didn't know why exactly she decided to sing such a gloomy song, but she remembered how much she loved to listen to the song when she was a teenager.
K-Mart's head slowly rose up as she listened to Claire's soft singing mixed in with the hypnotic hum of the car's engine. Claire hadn't noticed K-Mart had woken up as K-Mart continued to listen intently at Claire's hushed singing of the two tragic lovers. Near the end of the song, K-Mart noticed the sad expression on Claire's classically beautiful face as the full moon shone on the quiet road.
"That's such a sad song," K-Mart whispered once Claire finished.
Claire's head swiveled towards K-Mart - taking her eyes off the road and nearly swerving into a speed marker. Just as Claire was about to speak, Carlos' voice rang out from her walkie-talkie.
"Claire? Are you okay?" he asked with a voice full of concern. He was driving behind her and must have noticed her veering off the road.
Claire picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the red button to answer. "I'm fine, Carlos. I just took my eyes off the road for a second."
"Okay, just checking," he said.
Claire put the walkie-talkie back into her breast pocket and resumed driving as if nothing happened.
K-Mart stared at Claire with her head sleepily cocked to the side. K-Mart could never understand exactly what was going through such a mysterious person like Claire - she always seemed to have barriers blocking the way to who she really was. K-Mart reached a hand to place on Claire's shoulder to touch her comfortingly. Claire didn't look at her or even acknowledge her touch.
"Why were you singing such a sad song?" K-Mart asked, fed up with the stifling silence in the car.
Claire's eyes never left the road as she stared straight ahead with her lips tightly pressed together - refusing to answer the question.
K-Mart's eyes searched Claire's face for any indication of what she was feeling, but Clare's face remained emotionless. K-Mart took her hand off of Claire's shoulder and placed it back in her lap. She started rubbing her hands together nervously as she felt herself becoming aware of Claire's defiance to any emotional ties.
Claire flicked her eyes back and forth between K-Mart and the road as she observed K-Mart fidgeting uncomfortably on the side. Claire didn't know why she refused to answer K-Mart's question - she didn't even know why she was singing the sad song in the first place. Claire felt something ominous press down upon her as she pondered about the song's contents. Tears started to sting at her eyes for some unknown reason as she continued to drive down the empty road. She rubbed the back of her hand quickly across her eyes to remove the tears - trying her best to hide the tears from K-Mart.
K-Mart noticed Claire wiping at her eyes and realized that she was crying. K-Mart's mouth hung open in surprise at the sight before her. She couldn't believe Claire was actually crying - in all her years of knowing Claire, she had never seen Claire crying in front of her before. Claire parked on the side of the road as she laid her arms and head on top of the steering wheel and cried like never before. K-Mart heard Carlos' voice coming out of Claire's walkie-talkie as she reached for it to talk to him.
"What's happening?" he asked about Claire's sudden stop.
K-Mart pressed down the button and said, "Claire's just taking a quick break, Carlos. She's really tired," she answered as Claire continued to weep silently.
"Alright, just radio me back once you guys are ready to head out again," Carlos responded as K-Mart put down the walkie-talkie to grasp at Claire's shoulders.
"Claire?" K-Mart whispered as she tried to urge Claire to face her. "Claire, what's wrong?" K-Mart felt completely lost and didn't know what was the right thing to do in a situation like this. Claire only continued to lay her head against the wheel and cried. K-Mart was becoming increasingly unsure as she hugged Claire tightly in her slender arms. "Claire…" she whispered into her ear as she kissed the top of her head. "Please, speak to me."
Claire turned her head slowly towards K-Mart to stare into her eyes. K-Mart was looking at her worriedly and unsurely as she saw the tears streaking down her face. She knew K-Mart was treading in unknown territory - she had never seen Claire show her vulnerable side. Claire continued to stare deep into the eyes of a girl who had suddenly became so much more to her in a span of a couple of days and felt herself becoming scared about what she was feeling. She was afraid of getting into deep with this girl - afraid of letting herself fall in love again.
K-Mart continued to gaze curiously at Claire's enigmatic episode as Claire moved in closer towards K-Mart. K-Mart could feel Claire's warm body heat warming her chilled body as she inched in closer to her. Claire kissed K-Mart's forehead lovingly as she placed a hand on her cheek to pull her in closer towards her. K-Mart felt her body relax from Claire's gentle touch and she sighed contently as she moved her cheek against Claire's soft palm.
Claire moved her lips towards K-Mart's mouth and placed them gingerly on K-Mart's pouty lips. Their lips locked as the scent of K-Mart's candy-apple lip gloss intoxicated Claire's senses. She felt her blood pressure increasing rapidly as she continued to kiss K-Mart's soft lips.
K-Mart could feel her heart beating wildly as she let Claire overtake the whole kiss. K-Mart moved herself onto Claire's lap - never letting their lips part as she moved from one seat to the other. Claire laid back into her seat as K-Mart climbed on top of her as she continued to eagerly explore her mouth. K-Mart took off Claire's army jacket to reveal smooth, toned arms beneath a white tank top.
Claire was panting breathlessly as she felt K-Mart's hand wander to the bottom of her tank top to pull it off of her body. Once K-Mart took off her tank top, Claire was left in nothing but her bra. Claire decided to do the same to K-Mart and pulled off her tight-fitted tee over her head to reveal perky breasts covered by a pink bra. Claire unhooked the bra to get her first look at K-Mart's breasts. Claire felt herself becoming wet from the sight of K-Mart's tight body.
K-Mart moved back to give Claire a better sight of her body and Claire took full advantage of the opportunity. Claire always knew K-Mart would look good naked, but she'd never admit that to K-Mart. K-Mart moved back in closer to Claire to do the same to Claire. Claire felt herself blush as K-Mart stared at Claire's naked torso. K-Mart moved in to whisper to Claire, "You're so beautiful," and kissed Claire's upper earlobe as she pressed their breasts together.
Claire moaned softly at the feeling of K-Mart's creamy breasts rubbing against her own - she felt herself dazing off into a lust-induced haze as K-Mart moved her fingers down to Claire's waist. K-Mart trailed her slender fingers to the zippers on Claire's pants to unzip them and slid her hand down inside.
Claire shivered as she felt K-Mart place her hand outside of Claire's underwear and was rubbing her hand up and down slowly. Claire felt herself getting hotter and hotter from K-Mart's touch as she moved her hand to K-Mart's shorts to do the same.
K-Mart's body spasmed with pleasure as Claire moved her thumb in circles over K-Mart's clit. K-Mart reveled in the waves of pleasure Claire's touch brought her before she moved Claire's underwear to the side to dig a finger into her center.
"Ah!" Claire screamed out from the sudden invasion as K-Mart added another finger into her core. Claire felt her body shake with mind-numbing pleasure as K-Mart moved her skillful fingers in and out of her.
Claire felt K-Mart pressing herself into Claire's hand as she continued to thrust in and out of her. Claire knew K-Mart wanted Claire to do the same to her, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to take her virginity.
"Claire," K-Mart panted as she moved her fingers in and out in a rhythm. "Please, I want you to be my first." K-Mart then kissed Claire hungrily on the lips as she pressed her pussy hard against Claire's hand - urging her to penetrate her. Claire felt herself dizzy from the onslaught of pleasure and from the decision she had to make as she let K-Mart kiss her.
She loves K-Mart, there was no doubt about that, but she felt it wasn't the right time to proceed with such an important decision. Claire only continued to rub furiously at K-Mart's clit as she licked and sucked on K-Mart's right nipple. K-Mart didn't plead with Claire any more for she was too busy gasping and panting as Claire pleasured her in other ways without penetration.
As Claire felt herself reaching her peak, K-Mart felt the Claire's vaginal walls tighten up and wanted to come with her. Claire's head was spinning as she felt herself coming to her orgasm as K-Mart grinded against her hand. After a few more thrusts, Claire's body tensed up as her nerves throbbed with pleasure as K-Mart screamed in pleasure as she came to. K-Mart grasped Claire's shoulders tightly to steady herself as she came until their were finger nail marks etched in Claire's porcelain skin. Claire hissed in pain as K-Mart's sharp nails dug into the skin on her shoulders.
After they rode out their climax, they both lay panting breathlessly with K-Mart laying her head on top of Claire's chest.
"Why didn't you do it Claire?" K-Mart asked after catching her breath. "I wanted you to finally be my first," she said sadly.
Claire only looked at K-Mart sadly as she kissed the top of her brow tenderly. "Please, be patient, K-Mart," she said quietly. "I promise you there will be a day when I will give you what you wish." She put a hand on top of K-Mart's silky blond hair to reassure her, but the sad song Claire had sung to herself earlier suddenly echoed hauntingly in her mind.
