Chapter 6 The Resistance

The church had decided the best way to raise funds for the homeless, was to hold a bake sale. The women of the church had gotten together to organize a festival of sorts. There were games placed around the park and tables with baked goods. It was a pretty good turnout, better than last years, partly because they got parole and probation boards agree to have some of their clients help with this year's sale.

Natalia had been stuck at the apple pie table for most of the day. It was 1 in the afternoon and it was getting hotter. She was beginning to rethink wearing a black long sleeved shirt and jeans. If I had made sausage instead of beacon I wouldn't have this dark ring around my arm. I have got to find more heat friendly ways to cover up. I'm going to pass out, out here.

She smiled graciously at the passersby, thanking the heaven no one had stopped by to talk for too long. On and off she had been reading her bible.

Olivia idly walked around the park. She had decided to come and keep Rodney company. He was completing his community service helping with the bake sale. Sometime ago he had slipped off with another woman doing her service to the public.

Olivia was almost about to leave when she saw Natalia sitting at the apple pie table. What I wouldn't do to have some of her apple pie. She slipped in an out of the crowd trying to stay hid. She wondered to the cupcake table, just a few yards away from Natalia. She pretended to look at the last cupcake. Something enough it read 'I you'.

"Would you like this Ms. Spencer?" A woman startled Olivia out of the spying of Natalia.

Natalia sat in the chair wishing she had brought a hat to block the sun or an umbrella. She held her hand up to block the sun. She watched the children run around for a few minutes before surveying the crowd again. Just a few tables down, she spotted Olivia. The giddiness started to bubble in the stomach. She tried not to stare, failing miserably.

Natalia jumped out of the seat when someone touched her shoulder.

Mrs. Campbell the pianist held her hands up in surrender. "I just came to give you a break from the sun.

Natalia apologized, before practically running off.

Olivia finished paying for the cupcakes. She looked up just in time to see Natalia leave the table and walk across the street to the community center. She noticed Natalia left her book, while the woman was turned around Olivia swiped the book heading in Natalia's direction.

Natalia rushed into the empty gym. Maybe she didn't see me. What if she did, I can't go back out there. With myself restraint we might end up having sex on the cherry pie table.

She let out and audible sigh when she heard the door open and close.

Olivia entered the instantly spotting Natalia standing at the edge of the basketball court. "You forgot something." She walked up to Natalia holding the book out.

Natalia hesitantly took the book, keeping some distant between them. "Thank you." They stood in silence until Natalia noticed Olivia hand behind her back. "What you hiding?"

"I got something for you." Olivia presented the cupcake. "Taste it."

Natalia took the small cake with red frosting reading the words out loud. "I you." Natalia smiled. She glanced at Olivia who nodded her head encouraging her to taste it. Natalia pealed the paper off before biting in the treat. "Mm." Natalia gulped the bit down nearly choking herself. In only a few meeting she had begun to read Olivia. The look she was giving Natalia meant something was about to happen, something she had promised wouldn't. Don't do it. Please kiss me.

Olivia moved closer bring her hand up to Natalia's face. She cupped Natalia jaw, licking the small amount of icing off the side of Natalia's mouth.

Natalia shivered at the contact. She turned her head catching Olivia's lips. Olivia backed her against the wall, sandwiching her body. The position brought back the memory of their one night together. She dropped the items out of her hands hugging Olivia's body as close as it could get.

Natalia cupped Olivia butt she pulled her leg between her thighs, desperate to ease the ache Olivia created just by her mere presence. Her hips surged like an ocean in uproar. She broke their kiss, throwing her head back as she rode Olivia's thigh.

Olivia's hands traveled down to Natalia's hips. She slowed Natalia erratic movements. Olivia pulled and pushed Natalia hips to the tempo of her own movements. She kept them in sync driving Natalia crazy.

Natalia squeezed her hands, full of Olivia's behind. She needed something to hold onto, she could feel the rush of heaven taking her away.

Olivia caught Natalia's lips swallowing the moan of rapture. The body against hers shivered. Olivia pressed Natalia against the wall holding her up till her came down. She stared at Natalia until she opened her eyes. Olivia smiled, seeing the dazed look of Natalia's eyes.

Natalia leaned back trying to catch her breath. God how does you do that?

Olivia gently kissed Natalia's lips. The fight was over. Natalia was hers. Even if the other woman didn't want to admit it, she knew Natalia would come to her without any pressure. It's was a start.

The door to the center opened, laughter talking filled the gym. When Olivia realized it wasn't the front door she hurriedly walked out.

Natalia looked after Olivia, forcing herself not to follow.

A few teenagers came running in with a basketball.

Natalia picked up her bible, seeing a page earmarked. She opened the book, in Olivia's cursive writing read, "Do you like me: check yes or no." Natalia laughed holding the book against her chest. What am I going to do?

Olivia ran back across the street spotting Rodney.

"Hey where they hell have you been?" Rodney met Olivia on the sidewalk trying to keep up with her fast pace walking.

"Where have you been?" Olivia countered. The day had gotten some much better she was burst with energy.

"I have been working hard scoring us something good." Rodney held up the small sandwich bag. The corner of it was tied tight around the cocaine. "Now answer my question."

"Doing stuff." Olivia shrugged her shoulders.

"Doing stuff, uh. So, what's up with you and that woman you chased into the gym?' Rodney laugh when looked at him shocked. "Don't worry I don't think anyone else was paying attention."

"Nothing I was just talking to her."

"Right."

"You know what I feel so good right now I don't think I even need that." Olivia pointed to the bag in Rodney's palm.

"Fine I'll catch up with you later." He attempted to veer off their path.

Olivia pulled him back towards her. "I said I didn't need it not I didn't want it."

"So let's blow this joint."

"What about your community service?"

"Fuck it. It's not fair anyway we both got busted and I'm the one doing community service." That bitch Dory did this. But I'll be the one laughing last. I ain't doing it; we'll see what she has to say about that.

"Well some people have all the luck." They made it to Olivia's car.

"Seriously what's up with you and that woman?" Rodney had been hearing about her for some time. It was about the only thing Olivia talked about and he still hadn't met her.

"She's the one I told you about, you know the bet."

"And?"

"And nothing, I like her so I'm going to keep seeing her."

"You just like her because she turned you down and isn't she married?'

"When has that ever stopped me? Anyhow she wants me, I can tell."

"Does she want to party with us?"

"No she's not that type of person; she goes to church and reads the bible. Shit like that." Olivia leaned against her car. If she does do drugs that could be something that could tip this over. I can't take the chance and just ask her if she wants some coke. But who ever gained from not taking risk. No, I would have noticed something or she would have told me. Plus Rodney would have to have sold to her. He knows everyone who does it.

"Are going to go or what?" Rodney pulled Olivia out of her head.

"Yeah."
