Last Chapter! I hope you like it…I kept it really light and fluffy, with some lace mixed in it too. :] I almost killed somebody, but didn't because that's not in the Christmas spirit…So, enjoy!
"Can you believe my mother told Lacey the bird in the freezer story?" Megan told Kate, pouring them a glass of wine after dinner. Kate cocked an eyebrow. "What 'bird in the freezer' story? I never heard that one…" Megan smiled and then said, "Well, I won't be the one to tell you."
"Oh come on Megan!" Kate began pleading with Megan. She began with a smile and then puppy dog eyes, and after a final plea, Megan gave in. She told the story about how she had found the bird in the backyard, so she put him in a ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for later study. "My mom still thinks the jury is still out on whether or not I became a serial killer or not…"
"Well you would be able to come up with the perfect murder!" Kate said, holding up her wine glass to Megan. Megan thought about that statement for a minute, and then asked: "What do you think the perfect murder would be?" Kate nearly choked on her wine when Megan asked her that, but she almost couldn't think of a reason.
The two women continued their conversation until Lacey walked into the room. "What are you two still doing up?" the young girl asked the two women who were well into their second bottle of wine and past being tipsy. "Oh look at the time!" Megan looked at her watch. It was nearly two AM and both she and Dr. Murphy had to be at work by 9 the next morning. "Well off to bed Lacey" Megan began, attempting to stand. When that proved itself to be a fail, Kate tried her best at helping Megan up, and they made it about halfway down the hall before tripping each other up and falling flat on their asses. The two women giggled at their clumsiness, and helped each other up and made it to the bedroom finally.
Lacey rolled her eyes as she listened to the two women finally make their way to Megan's bedroom. Gotta love those two she thought to herself, even though they have the alcohol tolerance of a Borg drone…which reminds me…
"So Dr. Murphy…" Megan whispered to Kate after their passionate…bed making…
"Yes, Dr. Hunt?" Kate giggled at them using each other's professional names, her mind still fuzzy from her body being racked with pleasure and bloodstream filled with wine.
"Did I ever tell you about the time I helped out the FBI?" Megan asked randomly, catching Kate off guard who was placing red marks along Megan's neck. Kate looked up at her lover for a moment…
"Yeah I did! I worked with this one special agent…oh what was her name…Jordan Shaw! She was a great profiler, and she really reminded me a lot about…well me!" The two women silently laughed for a moment, before Kate responded in a drunken tone. "Well everybody is supposed to have a doppl-something…what's it called? Doppler-ganger? I don't know…"
The two women laid there and cuddled for the rest of the night in each other's arms, falling asleep almost instantly.
7:45 came too quickly for these two, and they were only awake at all because Lacey had called them to make sure they were up. "Yeah yeah…We're up Lacey. Thanks for calling, I think my internal chronometer got a little messed up…yeah I love you too. Have fun at school." Megan hung up her phone and looked at Kate who had cocked her eyebrow, and Megan could have sworn she saw a small glint of silver gleaming off her left eyebrow. "What's an internal chronometer?" Kate asked, not really sure she wanted to know… "Oh it's like an internal clock…apparently ours was turned off when we drank entirely too much last night."
"Oh I believe that one. Hey, Megan…" Kate began, rubbing her head and turning the lights off. "How much did we drink last night?" Megan merely shrugged her shoulders; the two women could only guess since they couldn't remember.
In order to make time go faster (or so that was their logic) the two women showered together, and then Megan went to make coffee while Kate got dressed. Just before she put her shirt on, Ethan called Kate, with a case for her, and something about an important person being in her office waiting for her.
"OH SHIT!" Kate nearly shouted into the phone, and then almost dropped the phone because she was putting her heels on at the same time. "Ethan, tell him I'll be there in 15 minutes!" She hung up the phone and grabbed her purse. She grabbed the cup of coffee that Megan had set out for her, and made a quick excuse to Megan while attempting to get out the door. "Megan I would leave together with you this morning, but I have a VERY important businessman in my office that I need to schmooze so we can get some more grants so Curtis can stop whining." She quickly kissed Megan on the cheek and walked out the door.
Within a split second, Kate was back in the apartment glaring at Megan who was merely smiling into her coffee cup. "You were going to let me leave without a shirt on, weren't you?" Megan smiled, and retorted without missing a beat, "Well I figured if that's how you wanted to schmooze your business man and every other straight man in the office building, then I'm not going to stop you." Kate quickly ran into the bedroom and grabbed a shirt and buttoned it up while walking down the hall.
Megan put her coffee cup down and just smiled at Kate, and in a simple, almost joking manner said, "I love you Kate…" Kate stopped what she was doing and looked at Megan, a tear welling up in her eye. "You mean it?" She asked. "Mean what?" Megan asked, now slightly confused…
"You just said you love me. Do you really mean it?" Kate asked, beaming with an ear to ear grin. "Yeah I love you! I wouldn't be saying that if I didn't, now go on and get your sorry ass to work before we both get fired!" She slapped Kate on the ass, and then went down the hall to her bedroom to get dressed. "Hey Megan?" Kate stopped for a moment, and let a half-naked Megan pop her head out of the doorframe.
"Yes, darling?" Megan replied. "I love you too." Those were Kate's final words as she stepped out of the apartment ready to go schmooze some important man who she couldn't pronounce the last name of; but had full confidence in herself, because the woman she loved…loved her back, and there was no denying that fact.
