I met the most beautiful woman today, I couldn't believe she chose me out of everyone there, she could have anyone and she chose me. What is life?
She has gorgeous platinum blonde hair, with the bluest eyes I've ever seen, and very soft, very pale skin. I swear it's like white silk. Which is how we met weirdly enough.
We were at Alice's party -dad said I had to go and party for him on his birthday- and I was walking along the beach, needing a moment away from the crowd, and Gail -that's her name. I never knew how much I loved that name until today- was hiding in the shadows of one of the many little caves. She called me over asking for help with sunblock, she wanted food but needed 'the layer of sunblock for protection while in the rays of death'.
After the intense and heated procedure of applying the lotion Gail hooked her arm in mine and dragged me to the food and drinks, which we had a lot of I might add. So maybe taking her to the lighthouse might not have been the safest idea after drinking so much, but it was amazing.
We unloaded the snacks and few drinks we carried over and laid out on the deck, taking in the view of the night sky, I've never known comfortable silence like that. And she kissed me or I kissed her, I don't remember. There are no words for that kiss, I can't even begin to explain it, no words, only this bright warmth that bursts in my chest and burns all the way to my fingertips and toes.
Somehow we got home and I did something I never do. But it felt right with Gail, it didn't feel like we had met today, I swear we've known each other for centuries. I thought that first kiss was unbelievable, I thought it couldn't get any better, oh boy was I wrong. The sex was. It was.. Earth shattering, mind blowing, world changing and not one of these things even come close.
Alice and Gail became fast friends, the petite woman would help Gail pickup Holly as best she could and it worked most days, some it'd only be as friends, most in a romantic way and others they'd fail epically.
So when Alice invited her to a party she didn't hesitate, parties were a great place to meet people and Holly was supposed to be there. She picked out her best bathing suit -it was a beach party- and a light open sweater so she could hide from the stupid evil sun.
Alice and Andrew greeted her enthusiastically, and the three fell into easy conversation. Gail found it odd how at ease she felt with them. For the first time ever she could be herself, she could be real and feel safe in doing so. Maybe it was just because of their connection with Holly, their shared love for the brunette, that brought them together in such a tightly knit ball.
All too soon she was left alone. Alice had to deal with something about the food and Andrew was called for a game of beach volleyball. Gail didn't mind though, it gave her an out to go find a shady place to hang out and think of a way to meet Holly, time to pep talk. She wasn't usually the one to do the picking up, it'd almost always been the other person asking her out, so she had to prepare herself before every try. Gail had met Holly many times now, and she was starting to get the hang of it, but the nervous palm sweating was still very evident in her attempts.
And before she knew it, Holly was walking by her shady hang out, Holly and her impossibly long legs, long very toned legs. Holly and her almost naked, drool worthy, body. Holly and her shiny dark hair swaying loose around her shoulders, held out of her face by her sunglasses. Holly and that stupid, breathtakingly beautiful, face. Just walking by without a care in the world, completely oblivious of her hold on the blonde, walking away.
Oh no.
"Hey." She barked, getting the attention of those heart stopping amber eyes. "Um, c-could you help me?" What is your plan? Because right now it seems a bit creepy, you're in a cave, weirdo.
"Maybe" Holly cautioned, dragging out the syllable, looking Gail up and down.
Gail turned her eyes to the ground, hiding her smirk and taking the much needed time to come up with something to tell her. Oh!
"If you didn't notice in your appraisal of my rockin' bod, I'm super pale, so the sun and I don't get along very well. So I need help putting sunblock on my back and shoulders." Gail took a step forward. "Is that something you can help me with?"
When she looked back up Holly's cheeks were a bright pink. "Uh. Y-yeah, I think I can help."
Gail tossed her the cool bottle and shrugged off her sweater, noting the gulp Holly took before stepping towards her, and turned around.
She purposely left her hair so Holly would have to move it, she knew how much Holly liked to play with it. Still a shiver ran down her spine under the first touch, Holly slowly swept her hair onto one shoulder, then it was gone.
Gail chanced a glance over her shoulder, Holly was close, closer than necessary, which gave her a boost of confidence. Today would be a good day if she played her cards right, Holly was interested and a little flirty which was always a bonus.
And just like that the touch was back, bringing it's friend butterflies.
Holly moved in close, her lips brushed against Gail's ear. "The sun is really hot today, could you do me?"
If you were to ask Gail what air was in that moment, she couldn't tell you. Her ears were burning with Holly's breath and ringing with her heartbeat, her chest collapsed in itself with every second spent with the brunette pressed against her. Somehow she managed a nod, making the warmth leave from her back.
Holly was facing the opening of the cave when she turned to her, thank god, it was embarrassing the amount of heat radiating from her cheeks and neck and ears and...other places.
Gail took a deep breath, reminding herself to be cool, this wasn't the first time feeling the brunette under her touch but it was the first time they were wearing so little while doing so. In fact it was the littlest clothing either of them had worn their these meetings, and to say it was distracting was the understatement of the century.
At some point Holly put her hair up into a messy bun at the top of her head, exposing even more skin. Gail started with her shoulders, taking longer than necessary and moved down to her upper back, her skin was as smooth as it looked and was even softer.
Her mouth went dry as her thoughts turned to wondering how it tasted, how would Holly move if she did this or that, what sounds would she make if Gail ran her tongue along the tanned skin, or bit down on one of the passing freckles. Gail hadn't realized how close she'd gotten until she felt her own breath bounce off of Holly's neck, her hands at a rest on her hips.
Holly took a small step forward, breaking the heated moment, and turned to face Gail.
"Thanks."
"No, thank you, I need the layer of sunblock for protection while in the rays of death so I can get get food and a bottle of tequila."
"Always happy to help a damsel in distress." she winked and went to walk away. Gail worked fast, lacing her arm around Holly's and pulling her close, taking comfort in the way she seemed to just go with it happily, and headed for the growing group of party people.
After loading up on food and taking enough shots of liquid courage to ease the nerves, the two headed for the dance floor. Alice caught her eye and shot her a wink, she must have done this on purpose, Gail would have to thank her later.
The dancing only added to the quickly growing need to touch Holly, to feel their bodies pressed with one another, to memorize how she moved alone and with her, Gail needed her now more than ever. It was driving her insane, leaving her every thought hazy, and an ache in her every bone.
And best of all, Holly was just as affected.
Somehow it was dark -when that happened Gail would never know-, the only light coming from the stars and moon above, the clouds from the alcohol slowly clearing as she sat on a lighthouse deck with the woman of her dreams. It was hard to keep her eyes on the sky as Holly was much more interesting, the brunette was telling her about some camping trip, her face lit up brighter than the stars above.
"Holly."
She turned to her with a smile, "yes Gail?"
"Nothing. I just like saying your name." She shrugged and looked up.
Holly cupped Gail's chin and made her meet her eyes. "I like when you say it too." And she was leaning in, slowly getting closer and then, as clichéd as it sounded, Gail swears there were fireworks.
They had kissed before, a few fleeting kisses, pecks of promises of more next time but of course there wasn't really a next time for Holly, only firsts. But this time, this time it lasted, this time there were hands tangled in hair and heavy breathing. This time there were moans from deep within and dancing tongues, this time there were neck kisses and roaming hands. This time it wasn't just the one moment.
