Hey guys! I just wanted to say a big thanks to all of you for the reviews. I truly appreciate them an I absolutely love reading them. Feel free to message me if you have any ideas or suggestions. I'm not saying I'd use all of them but I would definitely consider them and appreciate them. Anyway, enough rambling, enjoy chapter 10. It's my favorite so far :)
Chapter 10
Helena couldn't believe that her curly haired roommate had nonchalantly slipped into her bed. 'This girl is full of surprises' thought the raven-haired girl. A few seconds passed while she stared at Myka. Then, with a sharp exhale, she slipped down beside the girl and pulled the comforter up to cover them. Helena laid on her side behind the younger girl but kept a good distance between the two. 'You just kissed her, no need to push it, Helena' she thought quietly. Her eyes wound their way through the maze of curly hair in front of her. It took every ounce of will power she had to keep herself from burying her face in the brunette mane. Myka could hear the tensed breath of the girl behind her and smile to herself. Knowing the effect she had, she both hated and loved being able to torture the normally suave Brit. After a few moments longer of embracing her power, Myka gingerly scooted backwards. Their bodies pressed against each other softly and both of them gasped at the touch. They laid there awkwardly, breath shaking from nervousness.
"Is this okay?" Myka finally spoke.
Helena tried to gulped a knot out of her throat. "Mhmm." Unfortunately she didn't succeed.
"Good." The younger girl relaxed just a little, letting the older girl do the same. She got an idea and took a little time to build courage. She cleared her throat, "Still, I could stand to be a little bit more comfortable."
Helena's ears pricked with interest, "Oh?" A smirk found home on her lips. "And what would you suggest to fix that, darling?"
"Hmmm," Myka hummed, enjoying their little game, "well maybe we could try this." Her hand reached behind her and found one of Helena's. She pulled it to her and draped it across her waist carefully. "There."
Helena's smile grew intensely, "I have a better idea." She tightened her grip on the brunette and pulled her in closer. Myka could feel Helena's chest pressed firmly into her back. Then she felt a leg push its way between the two of hers and intertwine itself easily. Helena leaned forward and breathed in the girls wild hair. It's sweet scent filled her nose and she moaned lightly. Myka turned her head as much as she could an saw Helena in the corner of her eye. The raven-haired girls smile was intoxicating. The younger girl found herself twisting her body to face her roommate. Her eyes dropped to Helena's full lips. She licked her own. Myka pulled forward and took the girls mouth into her own. Helena's hand reached up and cupped her roommates cheek. The kiss deepened and eventually tongue was initiated, neither exactly knowing who did it. Myka's fingers toyed with the hem of Helena's shirt before she slipped them under and laid her hands on the girls stomach. The girl drew lazy circles on the soft unmarred flesh. Helena flipped herself to reclaim her earlier perch on Myka's lap. The younger girl grabbed the hips of the girl on top of her and pulled them tight. Helena tangled her hands in Myka's hair and forced their lips closer, their kiss deeper. The two had almost missed the light knocking on the door as Myka's mother made an entrance. Helena flew off of Myka and sat as far away from the girl as possible. Then tried to preform the most innocent look she could. Myka. however, wasn't able to compose herself as well.
"Myka I... Oh are you two girls having a sleepover?" Mrs. Bering asked with an oblivious smile. Myka and Helena both released a huge breath.
"Yes, that's exactly what we're doing." Myka said with a slightly too cheery smile, but her mother gave no notice.
"How fun! Just be sure to get some sleep for school tomorrow." Myka said a silent prayer that her mom was completely in the dark. "Anyway, Myka, I just wanted to tell you that your father and I will be working late tomorrow and we probably won't see you, so you two and Tracy will have to fend for yourselves."
"Ok, mom, sounds great! Well Helena and I have school tomorrow so we should probably sleep."
Mrs. Bering took her cue, "Oh, ok. Good night girls, have fun!" She shut the door behind her.
Myka listened for the footsteps to be out of ear shot before she jumped out of bed and locked the door. Brunette hair flew as she spun back to the bed and crawled to Helena.
The Brit met her with a small peck on the lips, "We really should get to bed, darling." She saw Myka pout and begin to protest but quickly shot her a I'm-being-serious face.
"Fine." Myka said as she laid down beside Helena and curled up close. The girls found their comfortable position again and quickly slipped into a happy sleep.
-FES-
Helena's eyes fluttered open at the sound of Myka's alarm. She felt the body beneath her move and heard the alarm being turned off. The body moved once more, twisting itself to face her. Helena's eyes met the other girls and smiled sweetly. Myka's tired smile flashed back as she reached up to stroke Helena's cheek.
"I believe that this is the best way I've ever woken up" Helena kissed Myka's fingers. The curly-haired girl just hummed in agreement. Tired with having only Myka's digits, Helena pushed herself to meet the girls sweet lips. Myka smiled into the kiss and twirled a piece of black hair on her index finger. Their kiss ended with each of them smiling dumbly at each other, eyes locked. Myka pulled her bottom lip into her teeth as she studied Helena.
"How am I so lucky?" Myka's words slipped out of her mouth but she made no attempt in hiding them. Helena's eyes lit up brightly. The younger girl squirmed a little after Helena didn't say anything. A blush had risen to her cheeks. She lifted herself off of the bed.
"Come on, if we don't get up, we'll be late." Helena groaned and rubbed her eyes. Don't get her wrong, she likes school (well, only when it's challenging), but not when it gets in the way of her and Myka. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of running water and knew that her roommate was taking a shower. Grinning mischievously, Helena found her way to the source of the sound. At the door to the bathroom she raised her hand to knock. She stopped a few centimeters short and abandoned the whole action. She let herself in quietly. Myka was humming to herself, completely unaware that there was another person with her in the room. Helena allowed herself an almost silent giggle. She was tempted to step in with the girl. Her hand reached for the curtain. For a second time she abandoned her actions. Helena thought it would be better to let Myka keep that aspect of her to herself. For now. With her new choice in mind, she resorted herself to brushing her teeth and fixing her hair. After a few minutes, the sound if water went dead. Myka grabbed her towel and pulled it to her inside the shower. She pulled back the curtain and gasped loudly.
"Helena what the hell?!" Her hands flew to cover herself. She immediately regretted the decision to use her towel for her hair. Helena looked at her through the mirror with a smirk. Then, slowly, she turned to face Myka, who was busying herself with taking the towel from her hair and wrapping it around her body.
"Oh darling don't worry yourself. You're beautiful." Helena said, her eyes filled with honesty. Myka could feel her cheeks burn instantly, and felt it creep down her neck and to her chest. She saw Helena's eyes follow its journey. Even with the towel she felt completely exposed. Her breath hitched and her blush deepened as the raven-haired girl sauntered over to her. She reached up to move a curl from the face of the girl in front of her. "You're absolutely beautiful." She tucked the hair behind The girls ear. The world vanished from around Myka, she was only aware of Helena. She plunged forward and took her girlfriends lips in her own. 'Whoa! Girlfriend?' Myka stunned herself with her sudden thought. 'Is she my girlfriend? I'm mean she likes me, and I obviously really like her, so where does that put us?' Helena felt Myka pull away slightly. She raised and eyebrow and cocked her head.
"Are you okay?"
"Uhh...yeah I-I'm fine." Myka looked down and debated whether or not she should ask Helena about her thoughts. 'Better now than never.' She took a deep breath before meeting Helena's gaze once more. "Helena?"
"Hmmm?"
"What are we? To each other, I mean. Where does all of this put us?" Myka's brows furrowed as she did her best to convey what was on her mind. Helena watched the girl carefully, searching her eyes. She took a moment before she spoke.
"I'm not quite sure, darling. Where would you like us to be?"
Myka dropped her gaze again. She thought about her next words and said them in a way that made them sound extremely fragile. "I'd like...I-I'd like for you to be my...my girlfriend." She couldn't look at Helena.
"I'd like that too, darling."
Myka's head shot up, "Really?" Her voice came out in a squeak.
"Very much so."
Myka didn't think she had smiled so big in her life. She grabbed Helena's hands, "So then? Ms. Wells, will you be my girlfriend?" She asked playfully, but Helena could still hear the sincerity.
"So formal." Helena teased
"What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic." She bit her lip.
"Well I know what I can say." Helena took her time to answer. She could feel Myka growing impatient. "Yes, definitely yes." Before Myka could even react, she had her in an embrace. Their lips locked.
Myka was wrong. She hadn't ever smiled so big in her life, until just then.
