Tell Me Why
Just had an idea and wanted to share, fluff mainly. Reviews are welcome and appreciated.
Breathless
Rolling over Marissa opened her eyes slowly, surprised to see the bed empty. She knew she hadn't fallen asleep alone, and felt a mild panic start to set in. Slipping out of the bed, Marissa grabbed one of the discarded shirts on the floor and slipped it on over her tank top.
Paddling out of the room barefoot, she headed for the kitchen, hoping that Alex was there. Unfortunately the kitchen was empty, as the panic started to build once more, Marissa's eyes caught a head of blond hair out on the deck. She felt a sigh of relief escape her lips, and mentally chided herself for being so paranoid.
Pouring a glass of orange juice, and carrying it with her, Marissa slipped through the back door, and towards a sitting Alex. The blond didn't seem to hear the gentle creak of the door, or the sound of footsteps heading in her direction. Marissa placed a tentative hand on Alex's shoulder to get her attention, not wanting to surprise the blond; fortunately she was greeted with an enormous smile.
"Morning", Alex said, taking Marissa's free hand and placing a simple kiss on it.
"What're you doing out here?" Marissa asked, taking in the view of the water.
"Just doing some thinking," Alex pulled the taller girl gently into her lap, "nothing to worry over." Alex added knowing what Marissa's next question would have been.
"Well I'm glad, waking up without you had me worried enough." The taller girl gestured, raising the glass up to her own lips and taking a long swallow.
"I thought that was for me?"
"I suddenly got thirsty?" Marissa giggled sheepishly.
The two sat unmoved in the same position, barely taking their eyes off each other. They were having a moment just enjoying each other's presence, until the spell of the quiet morning was broken by Seth and Summer's voices.
"Cohen! Make me pancakes!" Summer's voice rang out disturbing the peace.
"You need to calm down woman, I need my coffee."
The two outside listened to Seth's puttering inside the kitchen on his mission to make his coffee, and Summer's consistent nagging for pancakes.
Alex merely shook her head, a goofy smile on her face, "Remind me again why we took a weekend trip with them?"
"Because Summer's my best friend, and this is the Cohen's summer house."
"I never would have pegged the Cohen's for having such a modest little cottage, but then again if you had told me this was your summer house, I would have never believed you."
"I know right? Imagine my mom settling for something this simple." Both girls looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" Alex questioned, wrapping her arms around Marissa.
"I thought we could go get massages, relax a little more."
"I've never had a massage." Alex stated, "You could just give me one." She added with a wink.
"Babe I would, but Mitra is the best. Every time I'm in the area, I have to go see her."
"That good huh? I guess I'll have to tak-" Alex paused.
"Sorry to bother you guys but I made some pancakes and didn't know if you wanted any. If you do, you better hurry looks like Summer's eating them all." Seth interrupted, his head poking through the doorway.

Looking around the dark room Alex wondering exactly what she was supposed to do. Mitra had told her to undress at her comfort level, and then to lie on the bed. Discarding her clothes quickly, Alex scrambled on the bed, pulling the sheet onto her body, before putting her face down. She heard the door open, and after a few moments felt Mitra's hands begin to apply a gentle pressure to her back.
An approving sigh escaped her lips, and she found herself growing more and more relaxed and comfortable. She didn't know how much time had passed, but she heard Mitra's voice telling her she was done and to take a couple minutes to just relax. Once Alex heard the door close she made no motion to move, she had every intention to just lay there.
Maybe a minute had passed before Alex heard the door open again, she didn't bother to question what was going on because if Mitra was going to give her another massage, she wasn't going to complain about it. The blond felt a pair of familiar, cool to the touch, hands on her back, applying very minimal pressure. The hands moved from her shoulders, massaging gently, down her back, and gradually paused at the base of her spine before continuing onto her ass.
Alex's eyes snapped open, "Uh I don't think you should be doing that?"
"You're right, you should turn over." The voice replied huskily in Alex's ear.
A devilish grin crossed Alex's face as she realized who was touching her.

Holding a cup of coffee in on hand Alex walked alongside Summer on the beach, they were close but not touching close. The beach was not surprisingly packed, but they maneuvered around the individuals that lay scattered around the sand.
"Is she going to be here?" Alex questioned scanning the beach, and taking a drink of the cooled down beverage.
"I don't think so; she didn't seem to want to get up from her nap." Summer answered taking Alex's cup and taking a sip.
"Oh..." the disappointment was evident in Alex's voice, she motioned for her cup back to take another long swallow.
"Wait a second, right over there." Summer pointed to the slight uphill mound of sand where a brunette sat clad only in a bikini. The second Alex's eyes connected with hers she was already on her way over.
"Hey pretty lady" Alex murmured, stopping just in front of the bluff. She stuck her cup into the sand and held her hand out for the taller girl to accept. Marissa stood, accepted Alex's outstretched hand, slid down slowly through the sand and into Alex's arms for a tight embrace. She felt Alex lift her up, and wrapped her legs around Alex's waist.
"You won't be able to see." Marissa said, taking a look at the view behind Alex.
"Mmm," Alex murmured, her lips brushing Marissa's ear, "I have you." Her fingers traced the outline of Marissa's waist, rubbing her thumbs into her hips. Moving her head back, Marissa focused her attention to Alex's face; the blue grey of her eyes, her long blonde hair, she was everything Marissa had ever wanted.
Alex moved her hands to the small of Marissa's back, and began to gently rub her hands there, all the while keeping a firm hold on the taller girl.
"People are starting to stare." Marissa whispered after repositioning her head on Alex's neck.
"Let them, I could hold you forever." Alex answered merely firming her grip.
They hadn't always been so open about their relationship, it hadn't always been easy. It was more difficult for Marissa than Alex however to grow accustomed to being seen with around town with a girl. Over time neither of them seemed to care anymore about the stares, the looks, the whispers, as long as they were together everything else seemed to disappear.
