Amanda squinted as the morning sunlight drifted across her face, she growled slightly at the inconvenience and buried herself deeper under the covers trying to once again let sleep overtake her, her plan was thwarted by the gentle tone of Lara's voice drifting to her ears.
She smiled under the duvet; last night's confessions still warmed her heart some. Her head popped from under the bed covers, her eyes sorting out to what Lara's attention was drawn too, stopping when she saw the laptop neatly seated in her –she squealed quietly - girlfriends lap, she didn't take much notice however to what she was doing on it, and was much more focused on trying to get Lara back to bed.
Amanda frowned when she noticed that Lara was wearing her signature blue vest, her hair softly running down her back, she only paid a few more minutes in watching the brunette before placing a kiss on her forearm, "Who could you possibly talking to, if not yourself," she said as she kissed her upper-arm, "at this time in the morning?" Amanda kissed the nap of Lara's neck, who quickly wondered if the blonde was secretly a vampire with all the attention she paid to her neck.
Lara smiled and titled her neck to the other side to let Amanda place another kiss there, suddenly not bothered about her vampire like tendencies, "Zip." She said bluntly.
Amanda tensed, and turned her head to look to the screen, Zip gave her one of those 'I know what you did last night' smiles and a small wave, "Mornin' Amanda."
The blonde gave a small eye roll in response and tried to hide her embarrassment, she pulled the covers around her a bit more and buried her face further into Lara's neck, the brunette looked down at her briefly with a contented smile not really giving a damn that her assistant was witnessing a tender moment between the two of them, for Amanda and himself it was awkward but she'd given up on what people thought about her years ago.
She gasped lightly when, taken by surprise, Amanda's teeth ran across her shoulder, the blonde looked at the screen defiantly a teasing smile on her lips, she had obviously gotten over her initial embarrassment.
Zip cleared his throat, the sound barely visible through the laptops measly speakers, "So I take it you got the chance to speak with Tony Stark?" he asked, his voice hopeful, the same way a child would sound when asking about his idol, slightly awestruck and possibly a tad jealous.
"Mmm yes we did, we spent most of the night conversing with his assistant actually." Lara replied briefly, Zip frowned.
"We even," Amanda started as she rested her cheek on Lara's shoulder, "saw him in his armour, albeit for a fraction of a second," she paused for effect an evil glint in her eye, "which is probably more than you'll ever get to see."
Zip nodded, and crossed his arms, temptingly rising to the bait, "I've seen Lara naked!" he said with a click of the tongue.
"What!" Lara shrieked, slightly aghast at that announcement, she suddenly wanted to know when and more importantly how? Her outburst went unnoticed.
"Who hasn't?" Amanda came back with raising her eyebrows, egging the man on.
"Hey, now wait a minute!" Lara said hotly, raising both hands in frustration, Amanda smiled at her reaction; Zip looked like a scorned child over the video-feed. "Can we please get back on track here?" Lara asked, she took their silence as a means to continue, "Zip, someone from Stark Industries will be getting in touch with you, most probably Miss Potts herself about means of security for the estate. Don't ask me when because I honestly don't know, just be prepared for when they do."
"Not a problem. Did you by any chance find out how this stuff's gunna be installed?" he asked as he quickly checked his phone to see if anyone had tried getting in contact with him, that he possibly might've missed.
"I'm afraid not, sorry." Lara said with a nod of her head.
"Never mind then, I guess I'll find out soon enough, huh?" Lara shrugged causing Amanda's head to bump slightly; the woman didn't seem to mind much, the proof was in the hand lazily tracing circles on Lara's thigh, something that Zip was not able to see.
"So when's your flight home anyways? Winston wants to know so that he can have your room ready for when you get back." Lara smiled, of course he did, Winston was much like a father in that way, although she was pretty sure her room was already impeccable, but it gave the poor man something to do she supposed, other than running around after Zip all day.
"This afternoon, I don't really want to be here anymore than necessary, and beside's I'm sure there are plenty of places far more fascinating than Washington to explore."
"I guess I'll see you soon then." Zip said as his way of a goodbye, giving the two women a one-sided shrug and a small wave, his arm soon taking up most of the shot as he went to turn off his camera.
Lara reached the hood of her laptop and brought it down before moving it onto the side cabinet, she turned to Amanda with a seductive smile, "Now," she said as she pulled the duvet over both of them, "where were we...?"Amanda squealed as they wrestled playfully under the covers.
They did after all have a full morning before even so much as thinking about heading to the airport, and they didn't want to waste it.
