Gabby's Pool
The two girls stood in waist high water, locked in a sensual kiss; exchanging caresses that were shy and gentle, yet unbelievably erotic. Dinah was sure it had only been minutes since they had begun this ethereal dance, but if she had to judge by the severe sensory overload both her mind and body were experiencing, it seemed like it had been hours. She was starting to worry that the fragile amount of control she had left might be failing, when the shrill ringing of a phone began to worm its annoying way into her mind.
"What the hell!" Gabby growled as she reluctantly pulled away from Dinah and headed for the stairs leading out of the water. Although she immediately missed the contact, Dinah was grateful that her mind wasn't being thoroughly assaulted by Gabby's. In an attempt to cool her ardor D quickly dunked herself wiping the water from her eyes as she surfaced. In the distance the taller girl could hear her friend's quiet ranting and the harsh 'hello' as she answered the phone. Her interest perked up at the sudden change in tone and the mention of her guardian's name.
Dinah's eyes tracked Gabby as she walked towards the pool carrying the phone. Seeing that it was for her, she began making her way out of the pool.
"Ms. Gordon." Gabby said as she handed Dinah a towel and then the phone, eyebrows slightly raised.
"Hello?"
:Sorry to interrupt Dinah, we have a 'situation'. I tried to reach you on you com and your cell, but you weren't answering.:
"Sorry, I left it in my bag in the house."
:It's okay. We need some assistance with a 'problem':
Hearing her guardian's words Dinah's eyes locked with Gabby's as she mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' and then to Barbara, said "I'm on my way." Hitting the end button D set the phone on the lounge chair she was standing next to, hesitantly she looked back into the shorter girl's eyes. Reaching out she gently caressed Gabby's cheek with the tips of her fingers allowing the emotions the other girl was feeling to flow through the light contact, she sensed the disappointment but also felt the fading tendrils of arousal from their little dance in the water.
At that moment Dinah wanted nothing more than to forget her responsibilities to the Birds of Prey and to just be a normal teenager, she wanted to stay here and see where things might go with Gabby. Hell all she wanted was to be back in the girl's arms and kissing those silky soft lips, even if it was just for another minute or two.
"I'm sorry, there seems to be some kind of 'family' emergency thing going on. Barbara needs me to come home now."
"Nothing too serious I hope." Gabby said doing her best to hide her disappointment.
"I don't know yet." Dinah replied honestly. "I'll call you later and let you know. Maybe we could hang out or something tomorrow."
"What ever." Gabby replied not looking at the taller girl, instead staring at a small crack in the deck she suddenly found completely fascinating.
Sighing Dinah leaned in, brushed a soft kiss across Gabby's lips and then headed into the house to dry off and change back into her clothes.
As she entered the house Dinah heard a small splash followed by the sound of Gabby's strong even stokes, the curly haired blonde was mad, D could tell by rapid pace the girl was setting for herself. 'Great, just freaking great.' She thought to herself as she got dressed.
Exiting the small downstairs bathroom Dinah shoved her bathing suit back into her backpack, grabbed her coms, and headed out to the pool. D stood and watched Gabby do another lap while she put on the small bat shaped earrings, as the girl approached the near side of the pool Dinah lowered herself to her knees close to the ledge, just as the girl's head popped up.
Wiping the water from her face Gabby stared up into cornflower blue eyes, momentarily breathless. She could see Dinah's reluctance and disappointment, groaning she let go of the last of her anger at the girl for her impending departure and smiled. The taller girl smiled back and bent lower to capture crimson lips for a brief kiss.
"Give me a second….I'll walk you out." Gabby said as she pulled away.
Dinah got to her feet and backed away from the edge so she wouldn't get wet when the curly-haired girl levered herself out of the pool. Again she caught herself staring at Gabby's lithe body wondering what it would be like to see the girl writhing in ecstasy beneath her. This particular visual wasn't new to Dinah; she had seen it so many times before in her dreams. She was yanked from her thoughts by Gabby placing a questioning hand on her arm. Gabby looked at Dinah oddly, wondering what she had been thinking at that moment, but decided not to ask. The two girls made their way to the door in silence.
"So it's kinda late, you should get some sleep. I'll call you in the morning, 'kay?" Dinah said as she reached for the door knob.
Glancing at the clock Gabby laughed "It is tomorrow, D." Dinah looked over and had to keep her jaw from dropping. According to the clock it was almost 2:30, shrugging she turned the handle and began to pull the door open but was stopped by Gabby softly calling her name. Turning to see what she wanted, Dinah was floored by the thoughts and emotions that slammed into her when she made eye contact with the shorter girl.
In the jumbled turmoil that was Gabby's thoughts two simple words came through loud and clear accompanied by the most intense feeling of desire and longing Dinah had ever felt. 'Don't go!' her friend's mind seemed to be screaming at her. The feelings were so intense that for a moment, Dinah couldn't breathe. It must have shown on her face though because Gabby reached out a steadying hand.
Going by the sheer strength of the emotions that her growing powers had intercepted, the touch telepath shied away from the physical contact being offered; immediately regretting causing the hurt she saw in her friend's eyes. Quickly she tried to think of an excuse, finding none; Dinah did the only thing she could. Reinforcing what shields she had, D leaned in and brushed a kiss across the other girl's cheek. She could still see doubt and hurt in Gabby's eyes, but she knew there wasn't anything she could do about it right now.
"I have to go; I'll call you when I get home." She whispered her lips lingering a hairs-breath from the edge of Gabby's.
The shorter girl turned her head slightly, so that their lips were almost touching and whispered "You better." before punctuating her statement with a kiss. Again Dinah was caught off guard by the force and power with which Gabby's mind hit hers. It was so strong; it felt like a physical blow. Squeezing her eyes shut tightly D tried to focus completely on the feel of Gabby's lips moving over hers and ignore the flood of thoughts that was beginning to pile up against her shield like water against an unstable dam.
Although she hadn't intended to, Gabby found herself getting lost in the kiss. Groaning in protest when she felt Dinah's weak attempt to pull away, the shorter girl reached up and cupped the back of her friend's neck, trying to keep the contact.
"Mmmm…. I have to go." D mumbled into the kiss, but instead of trying to pull away, she snaked an arm around the smaller girl's waist, pulling the smaller girl's body closer to hers.
Gabby broke the kiss just long enough to ask "Just a couple more minutes?" before slanting her lips across Dinah's with renewed vigor. Neither girl noticed as the front door slowly opened, nor did they register the shocked gasp.
"Oh my!" The butler's soft exclamation caused twin sets of startled blue eyes to swing in unison landing on the shocked and embarrassed form of Alfred Pennyworth standing in the door way poised to knock.
"Alfred! What are you doing here? Wait never mind, what am I saying, you're here to pick me up right?" Dinah stammered as she began to blush furiously. Both girls dropped their arms and Gabby quickly stepped back, tightening her towel around her. Without thinking, the taller girl stepped forward in an effort to block the butler's view of Gabby, even though she knew there wasn't really a reason to.
Having recovered from his initial shock, Alfred had repositioned his usual unreadable features, and simply said "Indeed miss, we are in a bit of a rush currently."
An awkward silence filled the room, finally Alfred decided that the girls would probably need a moment and excused himself. "I'll just put your bag in the car. Do hurry Miss Dinah." The teen nodded at the older gentleman, watching as he made his way towards the car.
Turning to face Gabby, Dinah smiled sheepishly. "I'll call later, promise."
"You do that." The shorter girl replied trying to suppress a yawn. Dinah's soft laugh caught the girl's attention, sending a delicious shiver through her body. Not wanting to end up in the same position Alfred had found them, Dinah brushed a kiss across Gabby's cheek then quickly moved towards the door.
"I'll see you later Gabs." Dinah said as she stepped through the door way. Gabby watched as D made her way down the walk towards the waiting limo, the whole time fighting to keep herself from calling out to the girl. Only after the tail lights had disappeared at the end of the street did close the door, being sure to secure both the locks.
The limo….
Dinah stared out the back window, watching as Gabby slowly disappeared from view. Once they had rounded the corner at the end of the street she turned her full attention the man sitting in the front seat.
"So Alfred, what are the odds that you will keep what you saw tonight between us?" Dinah asked nervously tucking her hair behind her ear. Although she knew there wasn't really a need to, she sought reassurance from the kindly old man.
Looking at her for a second through the rear view mirror he smiled. "Now Miss Dinah, you should know that a gentleman's gentleman is the epitome of discretion."
Relieved the girl smiled and leaned back in the seat. "Thanks Alfred. I owe you."
"You owe me nothing miss, it is your life and I know that when the time is right, you will make the right decisions."
Looking out the window not really seeing the city grime, instead seeing Gabby's beautiful smile and the endless depths of her eyes, Dinah whispered "I hope so."
