Author's Note: Sorry this chapter took so long; real life kinda just sucked major pain in the ass for a bit there. First I got sick then I got injured. But I got it done. Hopefully it isn't too bad. Now on to the story.
Gabby's 11:30 p.m.
As the end credits to Dodgeball began rolling, Dinah got stiffly to her feet and began to slowly stretch out her slightly cramped muscles. Barbara had insisted that since this would be the third night of her not going on sweeps, she should get at least an hour's worth of training in with Helena. This was why she had been slightly late and why she was now aching in places she hadn't even known existed a few short hours ago.
"What's wrong? Sore back?" Dinah jumped slightly at Gabby's softly spoken inquiry.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I had a sparring session with Hel earlier. She kinda put me through the ringer a bit." The taller girl winced as she gingerly rolled her shoulders. 'Great, I bet there's a bruise.' she thought to herself 'How am I gonna explain this one?'
"So how about you soak in the hot tub while I do laps? Need to get a few in otherwise my coach will be on my ass Monday." Gabby suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Dinah replied almost too enthusiastically.
As Gabby headed upstairs to get changed, Dinah grabbed her bikini out of the back pack she had dropped by the front door and headed for the guest bathroom. Minutes later both girls were out back by the pool. Dinah made a bee line for the hot tub while Gabby got up on the starting block and began stretching. The taller girl's eyes were glued to her friend, her mouth suddenly very dry. Although Gabby usually wore a black one piece during practice at school and during meets, she was currently wearing teal tankini that matched the blue-green of her eyes, which revealed nicely toned abs and flawlessly fair skin. D watched as Gabby gracefully dove into the pool, the smaller blonde's body barely making a splash as it entered the water.
As she surfaced, she began to move her arms rhythmically, with each stroke her body seemed to glide effortlessly through water. Soon Gabby was at the other end of the pool, Dinah watched the girl dive, flip around and kick off, then surface a few feet later.
Slightly hypnotized by the rhythm of Gabby's arms, Dinah eased herself back into the hot water. Almost instantly, she felt her body begin to relax, felt the knots that had formed in her neck and back begin to untie themselves. Resting her head on the small inflatable pillow, she gazed up through the glass ceiling of what had once been a large green house, and stared at the stars twinkling against the black velvet sky.
At that moment in time she wished she could be the innocent child she had once been. Back before her mom had left her, back to a time when she had believed that wishes could come true, if you just believed. Quietly, she recited the words from one of her favorite rhymes as a child.
"Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight." As she finished, Dinah closed her eyes and wished with all her heart that she could be the person that Gabby deserved.
"So what did you wish for?" Dinah's eyes slowly slid open, revealing a cerulean sea. A few feet away, arms crossed and resting on the low wall that separated the hot tub from the pool, Gabby regarded her friend curiously. D smiled at the girl.
"I'll give you two guesses." Dinah said as she moved towards Gabby, so that only inches separated them. "And the first one doesn't count." The shorter girl's breath hitched for a second, but it felt like an eternity.
"I-I have no idea." Gabby shrugged her shoulders. It was true though. As long as she had known Dinah, there was still so much that she didn't know about her best friend. Every time she had tried to learn more about her, Dinah had always found a way to change the subject or had suddenly remembered some errand she had promised to do for Miss Gordon. 'Errands my ass!' Gabby thought as she stared into the endless depths. She knew that there had been a lot of pain in Dinah's past; she had seen the emotional scars first hand.
One of the first nights Dinah had slept over, Gabby had witnessed the nightmares first hand. She had woken to the troubled cries and tortured sobs of her friend, finding the girl huddled on the floor, tears sliding down tightly shut eyes.
Seeing her like that had broken Gabby's heart. Without saying a word, she had gathered the taller girl into her arms and gently rocked her, whispering calming words the whole time. When her sobs had finally quieted, Dinah had looked up into Gabby's eyes and whispered two words "I'm sorry".
Dinah was gone by the time Gabby had woken up the next morning and had left nothing but a short note behind saying something about errands to run for Barbara. The older girl had tried to broach the subject on several occasions but had been politely yet firmly told to drop it.
Since then, Gabby had done her best to be supportive of her friend without being over protective. As she looked into the bluest eyes she had ever seen, she knew the pain was still there, just hidden from the world.
Dinah was leaning in to close the small void between them when Gabby smiled wickedly and kicked off of the wall, sending her small body shooting out into the middle of the pool.
"No way Lance, you want me, you have to catch me." The curly haired girl called out as she treaded water in the middle of the pool. Dinah grinned and pushed herself up, out of the hot tub.
"That sounds like a challenge to me Ms. Andrews."
Gabby grinned as she watched the tall girl slowly approach the side of the pool closest to her. Water slid off the girl's slim form, tiny rivulets formed sliding down into the valley between Dinah's breasts, seeming to caress the bare skin across her well toned midriff. 'Damn she's hot.' The girl was so distracted by the beauty of her friend's body that she almost didn't notice Dinah jumping in.
Wiping the water off her face that had resulted from D's cannon ball, Gabby burst into laughter seeing Dinah surface. The taller girl looked like a half drowned cat.
"What are you laughing at?" Dinah sputtered. 'Note to self: keep mouth closed when jumping into a pool.' Pushing her hair up out of her face, she watched as Gabby tried desperately to compose herself.
Seeing that her prey was temporarily distracted by a giggle fit, Dinah closed the small distance between them and playfully shoved Gabby under water. The girl surfaced, obviously no longer suffering from the afore mentioned condition, but rather looking quite displeased. "You are so gonna pay for that D."
Dinah quickly started to back paddle, but even her best effort were no match for Gabby's speed in the water. Soon, the smaller girl had her prey cornered against the wall of the pool and had boxed her in with an arm on either side of Dinah's slender shoulders. Seeing the slight grimace and how much trouble Dinah was having keeping herself afloat Gabby asked "What's wrong?"
"Cramping." Dinah replied with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Gabby did the only thing she could think of and erased the small distance between them, effectively pinning the girl to the wall of the pool with her smaller body. Dinah had no choice at that point but to wrap her arms loosely around her friend's neck.
"Just relax, I won't let you drown." Gabby said quietly, looking up into Dinah's cornflower eyes.
"I know you won't."
"Where are you cramping up?"
Knowing that Gabby was probably used to this kinda thing D nodded to her left and said "My calf. I guess I should have had more water than soda." She gave her friend a self-depreciating smile.
Gabby nodded, taking stock of the situation, satisfied that Dinah wouldn't go under if she backed off, she hooked her left arm up on the ledge of the pool and bracing her feet against the wall, she grasped D's knee pulling it up to hip level and placing the girl's foot on her thigh. Slowly she moved her hand down from the curve of Dinah's knee to her calf, watching her hand caress smooth skin through the distortion caused by the water.
Gently she began to massage the spasm wracked muscle. Gabby could feel the slight tremors as her fingers worked nimbly to ease the knot out of Dinah's calf. Hearing a soft moan, she looked up and her breath caught. Eyes that danced with blue fire were watching her with such intensity that it set her blood boiling. Having been so concerned with Dinah's well being Gabby hadn't really noticed the position they were in.
Not wanting to give herself a chance to chicken out or to question the intelligence of the move she was about to make Gabby let her hand slide back up Dinah's calf, lingering on the girl's knee, up along her thigh, taking a moment to caress soft skin just above the waist line of her bikini bottom before continuing up and stopping just short of Dinah's breast.
Slowly she leaned in and kissed the girl, when Dinah didn't protest, Gabby deepened the kiss. It felt like a blast furnace had just ignited somewhere low in her belly. Gabby felt Dinah's arms tighten around her, forgetting that she needed to hold onto the wall to keep them up, the girl let go in order to pull the beautiful woman in her arms closer to her. Almost immediately they sunk below the surface, realizing that they were both in real danger of drowning, the two young women broke apart and surfaced quickly.
Dinah immediately flinched, her cramping muscles protesting the movement needed to keep her head above water. Gabby, seeing that her friend was still in no condition to keep herself afloat, reached out and took Dinah into her arms.
"Relax; I'll bring you over to the shallow end." The girl's voice was husky as she began side stroking her way toward the shallow end of the pool with one arm the other hanging onto Dinah.
As soon as her feet were able to find purchase on the floor, Gabby pulled Dinah firmly back into the circle of her arms fully intending to pick back up where they had left off. Keeping one arm securely around the girl's slim waist Gabby brought her other had up and gently cupped Dinah's face. Soft lips met without question, without doubt.
The shorter girl's senses ignited again when she felt Dinah's hands softly caress her abdomen; Gabby was bewildered by the intensity and depth of sensations. It was like everything she was feeling was being doubled. This overload was leaving her dizzy and disoriented, but at the same time it was the most amazing thing she had ever felt, and the only thing she wanted right now was for it not to end.
