Dinner had been rather uneventful with the pair getting several dishes to share as opposed to being stuck with only one Chinese dish to eat. Katie had still wanted the hot and sour soup, which served as an appetizer of sorts, and the pair decided that they would share sweet and sour chicken, along with stir fried vegetables, and each got a cup of white rice. Gabrielle drank only the hot tea, where as the older twin decided she'd get a glass of the Trulli Pinot Grigio along with a cup of tea.
Their conversation was carefree and easy and Gabrielle had to hold back a few compliments that could have possibly changed the air around them. Katie was enjoying herself and was a bit sad when it was time to go, and she watched the red head pay for their meal, again, before they left. Time had flown by and it was nearing 9 o'clock in the evening by the time get got back into the truck.
"So, am I bringing you back to mine, or straight home?"
Katie's eyebrows shot straight up at what the meaning behind the words could mean, and it seemed Gabrielle realized it as well, but that it hadn't been her intention. The twin watched as the athlete's face turned a bright shade of red that was easily seen even with the light dimming outside. Her lips curled into a smirk as the football player began to drive in the general direction of both their homes. "I wouldn't mind coming up for a bit, plus I left my bag up there, so at the very least we'd have to make a trip up anyway."
"Right," the athlete whispered, still feeling the flush cover her cheeks of the insinuation of what she had said only moments before.
The ride was short back to the taller girl's flat and once the vehicle had stopped and was turned off, the red head looked sideways over to the brunette. "I really am sorry, for how that sounded," she whispered, her voice shaking slightly and her hazel eyes falling to the space between them.
Katie was on another planet entirely, and when the athlete apologized, she could only look at her with confused brown eyes. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She felt as if her heart was fluttering instead of beating in her chest and she couldn't get her mind to think of anything besides going upstairs with Gabrielle and seeing what could happen.
The twin couldn't help herself any longer, and the hand closest to the athlete moved toward the red head's cheek. Her fingertips traced along the slightly tanned yet freckled cheek and jaw line while her chocolate orbs watched the hazel hues flutter closed. Katie kept thinking about how much she was enjoying the feeling of Gabrielle's skin under her fingers, how soft it was, and inviting. Her mind wandered to other parts of the athlete's body, and she briefly wondered if they were as soft. Katie quickly pushed that thought out of her head, it wasn't right to think about such things, especially about a girl.
The brunette's fingertips then changed direction to slide slowly down Gabrielle's supple neck, which caused the breath of both girls to hitch at almost the same time but for different reasons. "You're so beautiful, Gabrielle," Katie said softly, and she loved how the girl's name seemed to roll off her tongue. She was tempted to say it again, just so she could taste it one more time, but was too caught up in the reactions she was eliciting from the tall red head to think about it any further.
The red head's eyes had closed moments after the older twin began to softly run her fingertips over her skin. As the teasing touch continued she couldn't help but bring her bottom lip between her teeth to try to maintain some shred of control. There was a pounding between her legs and if she didn't stop Katie's hand soon, she feared she wouldn't be able to. Regretfully the footballer's hand moved up to gently grab a hold of the not-so-offensive one belonging to the twin. "Katie…" she whispered, her voice shaking slightly.
Katie couldn't help thinking about how sexy Gabrielle's voice was when she was in this state. It wasn't until she remembered why the athlete's voice was like that that she pulled back. What was she thinking? Mentally she shook her head and she turned away to open the door, muttering, "I'm sorry…" as she slipped out.
Her mind was going in every which direction as she quickly walked up the stairs to open the door of the flat, not even bothering to check if Gabrielle was following. Katie knew she could lie to herself and say she wasn't feeling anything even closely related to an emotional bond, but her body would surely call her on it. Even just the brief contact she made with the red head had caused a puddle between her legs. She was hot, and it was getting worse.
Her hands fumbled with the keys until she finally got the door open, leaving it cracked for the footballer as she all but ran out onto the balcony. After moving through the sliding glass door she sat down on one of the chairs and brought her knees up to her chest. "Fuck, Katie, what are you doing?!" She said audibly to herself as she brought up both hands to run through her brunette locks. The twin knew that she wasn't ready for anything physical, but she did know that the more time she spent with the polite girl, the more she wanted it to become more than what it was.
Gabrielle had watched the twin leave the car, nearly sprinting up the stairs toward her flat. She was stuck in place, her skin tingling almost painfully from the touches from the twin. The red head forced the physical need down and began to take deep breaths to calm herself down enough to enter her own place. After five minutes or so she pushed the door of the truck open and began the journey up the stairs to her door. Hazel eyes stared at the door that was cracked open. She contemplated this for a minute before pushing it open and stepping inside. Gabrielle couldn't hear anything, no movement what-so-ever. The door was quickly closed and locked behind her before she realized where the twin had gone off to… the balcony. She knew it was the brunette's favorite place at her flat, and the athlete didn't want to disturb her. The taller girl tried to find something, anything really, to hold her attention while the girl she was falling for was out there confused about what was going on. It wasn't her place to interrupt. Gabrielle had promised that she wouldn't push anything, that she would allow Katie to define what they were, and she would keep that promise until her dying breath.
Emotions were running wild inside the eldest Fitch child. Her eyes even began to water slightly but she had no idea why. "Don't you fucking cry," she said to herself. There was really no need for the tears, and she wiped them away with her fingertips. She couldn't help wondering how she had gotten herself into this, this… situation… with a girl no less?! After all the shit she gave Emily for being a lezza, it must be karma coming back to bite her in the arse.
Katie really didn't want a cigarette, but with everything racing around in her head, she thought that perhaps it could calm her down enough to get something productive done. She reached into her bag for the fags and her lighter and wasted no time in lighting it up. Her hand was shaking which was easy to see as she was holding the smoke. She wished she could talk to Emily, or even Naomi, to ask them what she should do. But then again, she already knew what they would say.
With the cigarette finished and snuffed out in the ash tray, the older twin got up and walked back inside. After getting inside she wondered if Gabrielle had even made her way inside. Katie got into the living room to see the red head sat on the love seat, leaning forward, with her hands running through her long strawberry mane. "Gabrielle?"
The football player's head snapped up at the sound of her name on the Fitch girl's lips. She couldn't help but watch those kissable lips for a moment before she averted her gaze to the chocolate brown orbs. "Yes, Miss Katie?"
The twin didn't bother to correct the girl. They were both stressed out enough as was evident on both their faces. She moved her short form to squeeze next to the athlete on the love sofa. Nervous hoards of butterflies were flying around in her stomach as she reached over to push the red head back to lean against the back. Coffee coloured hues looked right into the hazel-green ones for what seemed like forever, but was actually only a good ten seconds. "I… I…" her throat cleared after stammering and not getting anywhere. She never had been good with words that explained how good she felt.
"It's okay, take your time…"
The comforting words caused the corners of Katie's lips to lift into a shy smile. She was so supportive. No matter how much she kept going over what she wanted to say… she just couldn't force anything to come out. She wished she could just show Gabrielle what was going on inside her head, but surely that kind of thing wasn't possible. It wasn't as if she could just crack her skull open to bare all! Katie pushed herself up and found herself starting to pace back and forth. Her hands were moving as if she was using them to help propel the words from her lips, but still nothing came out.
Gabrielle could see the obvious nervous distress clearly showing with everything the twin did. She reached her hand out to catch Katie's on one such pass in front of her. Anything that she was going to say to try to ease the tension was swallowed when she saw the intense brown orbs gazing into her hazel ones. Her tongue poked between her lips to wet them, almost nervously.
Katie felt her hand being grasped and she turned to the girl who was still sat on the sofa. Her heart was beating so fast and so hard that it began to be the only thing she could hear. It was almost comforting to her for everything else to be blocked out. The twin felt compelled now, compelled to do something that scared her. She took a step, then another, toward the seated athlete. She stood facing the seated girl for a few moments before she continued forward. One leg was lifted to sit on one side of Gabrielle before the other slipped onto the other side. She pulled her hand free from the athlete's grasp and both hands moved up to the girl's cheeks. Her breathing was moving as quickly as her heartbeat was.
Katie knew what she wanted, knew what she needed, but the fact that it was with a girl nearly sent her running in the other direction. She decided to bite the bullet and just go for it. Her body leaned forward until her breasts were softly brushing against those of the taller girl below her. The twin swore that her heart stopped beating for a full five seconds before it started beating double time. Her bottom lip was pulled between her teeth before she closed the rest of the gap between them.
The moment her lips met with Gabrielle's she felt a shock throughout her entire body. It was soft and tentative, but it spoke volumes. Katie began to run her fingernails softly against the red head's scalp and through her hair. Their lips fit together perfectly; at least that's what the twin thought. It was slow and sensual, which made it so much more meaningful and powerful. The elder Fitch twin couldn't suppress a moan.
Gabrielle wanted to deepen the kiss, wanted to set her hands on Katie, but she didn't want to make the girl uncomfortable either. How she was even able to think of something like that with the beautiful girl's lips attached to hers, was beyond her. She had balled her hands into fists and had them sat next to her, making sure they weren't making contact with the twin in any way. Between the soft scraping of Katie's nails through her hair and the moan which came from her lips, she was struggling to not react in a more proactive way. Gabrielle loved the taste of Katie's lips that had a hint of cherry flavour, but it was also the softness of them that was slowly driving her mad with desire.
Heat was flowing through the smaller girl's body. She had thought that the snog session would be enough to curb her, but once she was lip to lip with the footballer, she realized that it only served to fuel the fire within her. Katie was going to take a chance, and it would test her reserve, as well as the girl beneath her. She pulled away slightly while holding the red head of hair in place. Their lips were all but touching and they were breathing in the same air. The twin pulled her teeth back and softly bit down onto the athlete's bottom lip while also running her tongue along the length of it. Katie pulled away tentatively, her brown eyes, deep with desire, were watching for the hazel ones to open up to look at her.
The soft bite and lick to her lower lip was cutting through the last of her control, sending an electric current straight to where she needed it most. Her hands were squeezing into themselves so hard that she was sure she would be drawing blood, even without having much for fingernails. Gabrielle kept her eyes closed for a few breaths after feeling the twin let go of her lip before they opened up to see the desire stricken dark chocolate orbs looking directly into her own green hues.
Both girls were panting, struggling to catch the breath that had been taken from them by the other girl.
Katie seemed to snap out of it as if she were hit in the back of the head, her eyes blinking and looking around to see the position she was in, straddling the footballer's thighs. She began to back away, scooting off the seat she had made until her feet hit the ground. Her cheeks were red, on fire really, and her entire body was tingling. "I… I should go…" she whispered, her voice cracking with almost every word.
The football player didn't want her to go, not just because she wanted to go further physically, but because she could tell that the twin was starting to freak out. She leaned forward, standing up and she reached to softly take Katie's hand in her own. "Don't go. We don't have to do anything, and if we do, we won't do anything you don't want to do. Okay?" She was looking down into the brown orbs that looked scared but also there was a hint of something else, something she couldn't place.
The Fitch girl was torn. She wanted to stay and explore her feelings more, but she also didn't want to feel obligated to do something that made her feel uncomfortable. Her eyes looked down to her hand that was joined with Gabrielle's, and she managed a small squeeze. "No, I should go. I… I have a lot to think about, yeah? We're still on for Saturday night though, right?"
Her heart dropped so fast she wondered if it fell straight through the floor of her flat. Her body went into autopilot as her head nodded and she gave a little squeeze back to Katie's hand before letting go. "Yeah… I'll see you then. I'll be out for the next couple of days; I have a tournament out of town. Feel free to use the flat while I'm gone."
Katie wanted to reconsider leaving. She hadn't realized that she wouldn't see the red head for a few days. It would give her the space she wanted to think though. "Thanks. I'll… I'll see you Saturday then," the twin said with a small smile on her lips. She leaned up to place a kiss on Gabrielle's flushed cheek before she turned, picked up her bag, and left the flat without another word or glance back.
