If Only They Knew-
Chapter Four: "Spring Showers Bring May Flowers"
Hello my Gelphie-shipper peeps! I know, I know, it's been an awfully long time...Being a Junior with academic pressure and an awful case of writer's block is never easy... Anyway, I recently switched from regular American Literature to AP American Literature, so I hope that my writing will slowly, but surely, improve! You've all been so good to keep reading, and reviewing, and favoriting this story! Thank you so much! So, just for you, I added this super cute Gelphie chapter. Enjoy! I don't own Wicked...:(
Elphaba
Well, much to Elphaba's dismay (though she certainly wouldn't be admitting it any time soon), Galinda had been right. It was actually gorgeous outside. The sun was warming, but not overbearing. She enjoyed the feeling of the light Spring breeze against her skin, and found herself glad that Galinda had insisted she remove her frock. There had been very few times recently where she found herself relishing in the weather recently, and as they saying went "Spring showers bring May flowers", or however it went, it had been pouring incessantly lately.
Elphaba still hadn't told Galinda about her predicament surrounding water, but she saw no need to. In fact, it might scare Galinda into thinking she was some monster (the green skin was testament to that enough), or make her think she was disgusting for not bathing the normal way. Besides, she had no inclination to discuss her bathing habits with her little blonde friend. The thought of discussing that made her blush. Surely Galinda didn't want to know about her body.
"Elphie," Galinda repeated.
Struck out of her weather-and-bathing-induced daze, Elphaba merely looked at Galinda. Her blonde curls were moving slightly with the breeze and with their movement as they walked. She looked at Elphaba expectantly, her big blue eyes open with curiousity. And her pink lips...well, the green girl tried not to drive herself insane by looking at those. "What?" she answered.
The blonde girl's intoxicating lips curled into a grin. "Are you absolutely enamored with the weather?"
Being stoic was one of Elphaba's strong suits. "It's alright."
Galinda smiled, knowingly. "Right." She inched herself closer towards her friend. "I can tell you love it."
"How?" She scoffed.
"Because you basically look like you're in heaven," her blonde friend chirped, "you're just soaking it up right now. I bet your skin is positively burning with pleasure. I know mine is."
Elphaba couldn't help but burst out with a laugh at that. She couldn't imagine herself burning with pleasure. She could, however, visualize Galinda like that...much to her discomfort. But then, she felt her friend's hand caress her arm and say, "Yep. I can feel it. You're full of pleasure," and Elphaba internally agreed with her.
Step. Step. Step. They had been walking forever, Elphaba thought. It wasn't that she minded walking with Galinda, she didn't, it was just she wished that they could sit down so they could talk. Elphaba knew that Galinda wasn't famous around Shiz for her speech capabilities, but she also knew that her blue-eyed friend was the easiest person to talk to on campus. She wasn't the vapid girl Elphaba had assumed her to be on their first meeting, rather, she was a bright girl trapped with her incessant and unfounded need to impress others. Being smart or clever wasn't exactly the best way to do that, and Elphaba knew that from experience.
Galinda suddenly stopped walking. "We're here."
Stopping with her, Elphaba turned to observed the location that Galinda had been so adament in taking her to see. It was not something she had expected. Many would just see it as a group of small foothills with small patches of trees and shrubbery here and there. But the look in Galinda's eyes, as Elphaba turned to look at her, signified that this was some place else entirely. Elphaba gazed across the field, with all it encompassed, and realized: this was a hidden gem. It contained such a sense of natural beauty that Elphaba couln't believe that Galinda didn't just live here forever.
The trees on the hills were absolutely untouched. They were most likely centuries old. The Spring breeze accentuated them, sending small leaves to float off into the horizon, where even more forest awaited. The smell of the plain was quintessentially Spring, and Elphaba was sure she could smell cherrie blossoms, but she realized that was just Galinda next to her.
"Let's go," Galinda smiled.
Elphaba held out her arm to stop Galinda before she ran off. Her skin was soft. "We need to take our shoes off first."
Galinda just stared at her for a second, then gave her one of the happiest smiles Elphaba had seen on those entrancing pink lips in a long time. "I almost forgot."
Kicking of her black boots and stuffing her socks in them, Elphaba knelt down and slid Galinda's sandals off her small feet. "You did forget," she looked up at her and gave her a genuine smile.
The blonde reached down to grab her friend's arm to pull her up. When Elphaba did rise, their faces were extremely close. Moreso than Elphaba had intended. She felt her face turn hot, and shifted uncomfortably in her stance. "Galinda," she barely whispered. Galinda was looking at her with a look she couldn't figure out.
Galinda, too, moved awkwardly. "Let's go," she repeated, but much softer, and there was so smile on her face.
Her heart sank. She didn't know what she had been expecting. Did she want Galinda to kiss her? Yes. She wished that at her very core, more than she wished for anything else. Did she think that Galinda would? Not in a million years. But Galinda's fingers were still entwined within Elphaba's, and the green girl was thankful for that.
Elphaba was being pulled towards one particular hill by her friend, and she followed. The grass felt wonderful between her toes. It wasn't muddy, like she had expected, nor rocky. It merely ghosted across her feet, and made Elphaba feel like she was flying.
They ran together, hand in hand, until they reached Galinda's desire, where she just motioned for Elphaba to lay down. She complied, and spread herself out across the grass. She was not concerned with the fact that she was doing something ridiculous. In fact, she wasn't concerned with anything at that moment.
But then something happened that made Elphaba feel exponentially more exhilirated, but exponentially more content at the same time. Galinda, in her beautiful yellow dress, without a word, lay down on top of Elphaba.
For a split second, Elphaba thought she might have died from the speed at which her heart was beating. She knew that something like this only happened in her dreams, and never knew that Galinda would do such a thing. She also knew that the way Galinda's skin felt, her bare legs exposed from the dress and certain things pressed up against Elphaba's body, was making her feel uncomfortable in a very pleasant way. Elphaba bit her lip to stop herself form moaning. If she did, Galinda might move. She couldn't have that happen.
She laid there underneath her stunning blonde friend, both of them in complete silence. Galinda did not look nearly as unnerved as Elphaba assumed she, herself, was looking at that instant. She was just staring at Elphaba, propped up by her slender arms. And as if anything else could happen to surprise Elphaba, this would: Galinda silently ducked her head into the crook of Elphaba's exposed green neck, and brushed her lips against her skin as she did so. This time Elphaba couldn't surpress the moan that escaped her lips. She felt Galinda quiver slightly at that, and Elphaba was immediately worried that she would move. But she didn't move off her. Instead, her lips moved up to Elphaba's ear and ghosted over it.
"You're beautiful," Galinda whispered softly, and began her descent back down Elphaba's neck. This time, to a shocked Elphaba, she began to kiss it. The pleasure was burning, searing, in fact. No one had ever been this close to her. No on had ever done this. She had never wanted them to. But as Galinda began to slowly build the speed at which she placed kisses against her neck, Elphaba knew that she had been craving this. Moaning loudly now, Elphaba placed her hands on Galinda's sides.
But there on that wide expanse of green grass, on that field in the middle of nowhere, underneath her roommate and best friend, is where Elphaba felt that first drop of rain.
Oh, cliff-hanger, how you just pop up out of nowhere! Did you guys like it? I know it's been a long time, so I wanted to give you something cute and saucy. ;) Please review!
