Becky watched as Sierra sat down on the bed, she wanted to stay angry and keep her at arms length but the look on Sierra's face broke her heart. Sighing, she walked over and sat down beside her. "What happened?"
"Bobby noticed something was wrong with me last night and wanted to know what it was. I...told him that we kissed." Sierra said and Becky looked at her in shock.
"What happened? Did he hit you again?!" Becky demanded to know and Sierra shook her head.
"No, nothing like that. He got pissed off and kicked me out. I had nowhere to go and he knew it but he said he didn't care, he just wanted me out. I didn't know where to go so I came here and..."
"And when I wouldn't let you in, you decided to sleep on the floor in front of my room?" Becky asked and she nodded.
"I didn't know what else to do. I don't know anyone else and I heard someone at the front desk say that they're booked up so...I didn't have a choice."
{}{}{}{}{}
Bobby walked up to Becky's room and pounded his fist on the door. "Sierra! I know you're in there! Get out here and face me! Bitch fucking around on me!"
{}{}{}{}{}
Sierra jumped and turned to stare at the door. "Oh God..."
"Calm down and stay here. Let him yell all he wants, I don't care."
"Yeah but..."
"Just ignore him love."
{}{}{}{}{}
"Sierra! Get out here dammit! You know what? Your dad was right...you're nothing but a whore!"
{}{}{}{}{}
Becky watched as Sierra's face went blank and the other woman began to shake. "Sierra?"
She was so lost in her thoughts and memories that she didn't hear Becky calling her name or see Becky get up and go over to the door.
{}{}{}{}{}
Bobby jumped back in surprise when the door flew open and he glared down at Becky. "Where is she?"
"None of your business! Who the hell do you think you are calling her a whore?!"
"I call it like I see it. She's been fucking you behind my back!"
"You sorry bastard! She and I haven't done anything!"
"You kissed her! She's my girlfriend Becky, you need to back the fuck off and stay away from her!" Bobby shouted and Becky laughed.
"You're the one who needs to stay away from her! She deserves a lot better than you."
"And I suppose you think that's you!"
"You're damn right I do. Stay the hell away from her Bobby or I swear to God, I'll make you regret it." Becky promised him, walking back in the room and shutting the door.
{}{}{}{}{}
Sierra cried out in surprise when a hand touched her shoulder and she looked to see Becky sitting beside her. Unable to hold it in any longer, she threw her arms around Becky and broke down in tears.
"Shh, come on now love...it's ok." Becky whispered, running her fingers through Sierra's hair. "Want to talk about it? What did he mean about your dad?"
Sierra pulled away from her, grabbing a tissue from the box on the nightstand and wiping her eyes. "My parents were very religious and very strict. I wasn't allowed to do much of anything...I barely had any friends because they never approved of anyone I hung around with and everyone was pretty much afraid of my parents. If I so much as looked at a boy...my father called me a whore and my mother made me get on my knees and pray for forgiveness."
"Oh sweetie, I am so sorry." Becky pulled her into a hug and held her close.
"So now you see why I believe this thing between us is wrong and...it can't happen. I can't be with another woman Becky, it's not right."
"What's not right is for you to deny yourself what you want. I know your parents made you believe it's wrong but you can't help who you're attracted to and who you love, that's just the way is. Will you do something for me?"
"What?" Sierra asked, looking at her in confusion.
"Lay down on the bed and trust me. I want to show you something...if at any time you're uncomfortable or you want me to stop, just say so and I will."
"Why..."
"Just trust me, please?"
Sierra stared at her for a minute before nodding. She laid down on the bed and watched as Becky laid down beside her.
Becky traced her fingers over Sierra's face, smiling as she leaned down to kiss her. "You're beautiful Sierra."
She blushed and gasped when Becky's hand moved down to slide over the swell of her breasts. "Becky..."
"Do you want me to stop?" Becky questioned, leaning down to kiss her again.
"No. I just..."
"Does this feel wrong to you love?"
"No...yes...I don't know."
Becky smiled and brought her hand back up to tuck a strand of hair behind Sierra's ear. "Does it feel good when I touch you? When I kiss you?"
"Yes but..."
"But what?"
"I'm afraid." Sierra admitted and Becky leaned down to kiss her yet again.
"I know love and I understand that now but it's ok. We can take this as slowly as you need to. I don't want to push you into anything, I swear. If anything ever happens between us that you don't like or want, tell me alright?"
"Alright." Sierra agreed, smiling a little.
"That's my girl. I need to get to the gym and work out for a while so you just stay here and rest...I know you couldn't have gotten much sleep out in the hallway last night."
"Not really, no." She said, laughing.
"Sleep then. I'll be back in a couple of hours and we'll spend the rest of the day together." Becky started to get up but stopped when Sierra grabbed her arm. "Yes love?"
"Will you...kiss me again?" Sierra whispered and Becky smiled.
"It would be my pleasure." Becky replied, leaning down to kiss her passionately. "Sleep love, I'll be back soon."
Sierra waited until Becky left the room before grabbing a pillow and cuddling it close as she fell asleep.
