Insatiable.
"Galinda wake up, you promised me."
Elphaba stomped her foot, hovering over her roommate's bed, debating what to do next if the sleeping girl did not respond. Elphaba was already fully dressed and raring to go, but Galinda, well she was a different story. It was trouble enough for Galinda to wake in time for her lectures, so when waking up early was voluntary and therefore optional, Elphaba held out little hope.
The blonde let out a soft sigh as a smile crept across her beautiful, sleeping face. Elphaba found the more she stared the less she wanted to wake the girl, who looked so peaceful. Still, if Dr Dilamond's essay was to be completed on time, Elphaba knew she had to rouse Galinda. Elphaba didn't really want to touch the girl, not after what Elphaba revealed the night before about her aversion to touch, but Galinda had to be woken somehow. Time was running out for their essay writing session.
Elphaba positioned herself above Galinda, without touching, so that her lips were beside the blonde's ear. The feeling of Galinda's hot breath on Elphaba's face caused the green girl to shudder.
"Galinda, for the love of Oz, wake up." Elphaba spoke loudly and firmly in a voice Galinda couldn't fail to respond to.
Sky blue eyes opened with a start, and Galinda was more than a little shocked to find Elphaba in such close proximity.
The last thing Galinda wanted to see that morning was a close-up view of Elphaba's long nose. In fact, Galinda had hoped not to see Elphaba at all that morning in hope that distance would alleviate her feelings for the green girl. Even so, there was nothing Galinda could do to stop herself, she had to find those dark, moving eyes. Her stomach leapt on its own accord as cerulean eyes met blackish brown, and Galinda tried desperately to think of something to say. She couldn't focus; the memory of last night lived vividly and wildly in her mind. Her hand crept beneath her blankets to the scene of the sin the night before. Yes, it had been real, Galinda quickly concluded as her fingers met the dampness that had yet to subside.
Fear seized Galinda now. Elphaba had seen, Galinda was quite sure of it but said nothing. How could she possibly spend the morning in Elphaba's presence now? Things would never be the same between her and Elphaba again. Elphaba now knew of Galinda's deepest, darkest desires, yet the green girl did not make mention of it. Galinda shut her eyes, hoping Elphaba would go away.
The blonde voiced as much when she mumbled, "It's too early Elphie, go away," inoffensively as she rolled over, facing away from her roommate.
"Come on sleepy head, you promised me you'd get up early to work on the essay," Elphaba encouraged.
"What essay?" Galinda mumbled incoherently, lost in her own thoughts as she hid how awake she really was.
Elphaba smirked, "Galinda, sometimes I can't believe you're for real, now get up."
Was that it? Was Elphaba really going to say nothing? Galinda knew had she found Elphaba in such a compromising position she would quite simply have had to say something; it was in her nature. Galinda couldn't keep anything in if it needed saying.
A blush pigmented Galinda's porcelain cheeks as she imagined herself as an unseen spectator of Elphaba participating in such an act. No, Galinda mentally shook herself, that would never happen, Elphaba would never do anything like that.
Galinda shifted her legs together as she began to notice the familiar and unwanted feeling return—or maybe it had never left. Either way, it had grown stronger than ever with Elphaba's close presence. Galinda knew if she wasn't careful, she would be forced to repeat last night's actions. What a morning this was going to be.
"Oh Elphie, it's so early and I'm so tired," Galinda pleaded, considering being tired was a better excuse than feeling sexually rampant. Without knowing it, Galinda found she had squeezed a hand between her legs as she lay on her side.
"That's the point, my sweet Galinda," Elphaba laughed, Galinda certainly wasn't a morning person. "Shall I meet you down at breakfast?"
Galinda kept her eyes closed, not wanting to reveal how Elphaba was making her feel.
"Yes, I shall join you in a little while. You know it takes me a while to come round in the morning, especially when it's this early. I need to bathe and get dressed…"
"Well we can add on a couple of days for that then," Elphaba quipped.
Galinda looked up and over in Elphaba's direction, still not moving the hand between her legs.
"Surely you don't want me going out not looking my best, Elphie?"
"I can't say that the way you look affects my life in any way, actually," Elphaba smiled; she really was growing quite fond of her ridiculous roommate and her silly ways.
"Oh Elphie, how odd you are," Galinda turned her attention back to the wardrobe rather than Elphaba. "I shall meet you in a short while."
Galinda wished Elphaba would leave her be and prayed for her departure. A strong urge to move a finger up inside herself was diminishing Galinda's willpower. At this point these sensational compulsions were hitting Galinda fast and furious. She had to get rid of Elphaba before she did something they would both regret.
Elphaba looked curiously down at Galinda who didn't quite seem herself. Elphaba cocked her head to one side and looked at the girl, facing away from her. Perhaps Galinda was feeling awkward about the previous night? About holding Elphaba's hand. How Elphaba wished she hadn't picked that moment to fall asleep, but Galinda's touch had been so gentle and soothing, Elphaba hadn't been able to help herself. Perhaps Galinda was embarrassed now, maybe that was the reason she hadn't slept well and was so tired now.
Elphaba walked around to the other side of Galinda's bed so she could face her and Galinda drew up the covers so that only her pink nose and startling blue eyes popped out. She tried to control the fingers that were so desperately seeking entrance, and Elphaba's closeness did nothing to dissolve that urge. In face Elphaba's presence only served to heighten Galinda's want and need for the green girl. Could it really be that she, Galinda the Good, wanted Elphaba Thropp?
"Galinda, I just wanted to say…about last night…"
Galinda froze, was Elphaba about to blow her cover about the unthinkable?
"It meant a lot to me, what you did," Elphaba finished.
"What?" Galinda was terrified and her breath came in short gasps.
"Reassuring me like that, taking my hand," Elphaba explained, a little confused as to how Galinda could forget something that was so fresh in her own mind.
"Oh, thank goodness," the blonde heaved a sigh of relief that the green girl could not fail to notice.
"Whatever's got into you this morning? What did you think I was talking about?" Elphaba enquired, smiling, a tad confused by her roommate.
"Nothing," Galinda whispered, noticing Elphaba's thin lips when she smiled and desperately wanting them upon her own.
I am out of control, Galinda thought to herself as she imagined Elphaba's soft lips in a delicate kiss.
"Well," Elphaba seemed a little doubtful about continuing to talk to Galinda when the blonde was in such a peculiar frame of mind, "I just wanted to thank you. It…it was nice.
Elphaba wished she could have said something more meaningful, but no suitable words came to mind.
"You liked it?" Galinda enquired, allowing herself just once gentle stroke inside, one like that which had forced her to call Elphaba's name in the dead of night.
"I guess I did, Galinda," the green girl forced a smile, trying not to show her uneasiness about talking about such matters.
Elphaba considered there wasn't much she didn't like about her stunning roommate, a realisation that was slightly annoying.
"I liked it too, Elphie," Galinda confessed as she thought about reaching out and pulling Elphaba towards her, wrapping her arms around the green girl and kissing those enchanting green lips.
That would never do, Galinda thought. Instead, she sneaked her free hand out from under her bed sheets and held it out for Elphaba who immediately took it, without a moment's hesitation.
The electricity between them came alive, and Elphaba felt heat rush to her face and felt a flurry of presumably green butterflies in her stomach. Touching Galinda was like nothing she had ever experienced, it was pleasurable, almost desirable. She held Galinda's hand in her own, gently using her other hand to run fingers over Galinda's, noticing the blonde respond unwillingly to her touch.
A whirlwind of pleasant uneasiness consumed the green girl from head to foot, and heat spread from her face to her midsection. Surprisingly, she found she wished to touch more than just Galinda's hands. Elphaba wondered what those soft cheeks would feel like compared to her own green bony ones. She allowed herself to visualise Galinda's full lip, but suddenly it wasn't her fingers that were touching, it was lips, their lips, crashing together and Galinda tasted so good.
Elphaba shook herself. This was totally crazy. She withdrew her hand quickly from Galinda, who had been whipped up into her own sexual frenzy.
Elphaba spoke shakily, "I'll meet you down in the breakfast hall in half an hour. We can eat together and gather some ideas before we head off to the library."
"Okay," Galinda agreed, not fully aware of what she was agreeing to.
Galinda's focus had evaporated the moment Elphaba had touched her; Galinda's desire had become so insatiable that she could focus on nothing more than bringing about another mind-blowing orgasm.
"Great," Elphaba remarked as she made her way to the door, a little baffled by the fact that Galinda had so readily agreed to meet with her in public.
Elphaba wondered what on earth was going on in that pretty blonde head. Still, she did not have time to worry about what went on in Galinda's mind; Elphaba's own thoughts were troubling enough. She had gone from loathing physical closeness to longing for Galinda's touch. Air, Elphaba decided, she definitely needed some fresh air.
The second Elphaba had left the room Galinda threw the bedcovers off in an attempt to cool herself down. Her behaviour was most out of character, and all because of the pleasure she could bring herself due to her strangely erotic fascination with Elphaba. The blonde simply couldn't get enough of it, and now that she'd started she didn't ever want to stop.
Galinda quickly jumped out of bed, making a mental note to change her sheets, and she stepped into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She wasn't quite sure why she had locked the door seeing as Elphaba was gone and no one else would visit because they found Elphaba replulsing. Still, Galinda wanted to be locked in; she wanted her desire to be locked away from Shiz society until she could master it, or at least attempt to control it.
Galinda ran a bath and made sure it was as bubbly as possible so better to cover herself. As she did this she threw her nightdress off and noticed it could also benefit from a wash. Galinda stood naked, staring into the mirror at her own flawless reflection.
How wonderful she was to look at naked, her legs were shapely, the image of perfection. Her stomach was well toned and soft, and her breasts were to die for, full and voluptuous, every boys dream. But there was only one set of hands Galinda longed to feel on her breasts, only one hand she now imagined running up her thigh, only one set of lips lightly grazing her stomach before moving lower.
Galinda now imagined Elphaba staring back, also naked, naked and green. What would that vision be like? A bead of sweat tricked down Galinda's spine as she envisioned Elphaba's slender legs and arms, the flat plane of her stomach, her small but perfect breasts—all so desirable.
Galinda could no longer help herself; she drove a finger into the rich moistness between her thighs, moaning in ecstasy and withdrawing her hand at once.
The bathwater continued to run, and foamy suds of soap threatened to spill over the sides of the tub. Galinda stopped the taps and dipped a perfectly manicured foot into the depths of the warm, bubbly water. Content with its temperature, Galinda slid carefully into the tub and allowed her muscles to loosen. When fully relaxed she parted her legs in hope that the water would quench her voracious arousal. The water lapped the sensitive area between her legs, and to her dismay (and delight), Galinda realized she quite enjoyed the feeling and spread her legs further.
Was this what it was going to be like from now on? Galinda knew the answer to that question and she felt utterly and completely hopeless. Elphaba would never be with her, not in the way Galinda wished for. The poor green girl didn't even like being touched, never would she touch Galinda in the way she craved. Besides, Elphaba was so prim and proper, Galinda couldn't imagine her getting down to it with a boy, let alone a girl, Galinda Upland no less.
No, this would have to be Galinda's last moment of indulgence. She would then empty her head of such silly ideas and get herself a boyfriend—after all, Galinda knew a relationship with a boy was sure to rid her of the feelings in her lower regions.
Yes, Galinda resolved, this would have to be the last time, for her and Elphaba's sakes. Galinda would appreciate the feeling one more time, leave it far behind and find herself an excessively good-looking and preferably rich boyfriend.
Galinda smiled with satisfaction at her decision as she allowed two fingers to enter her, enjoying the combination of the penetration and the lapping water. She curled her fingers forcefully and was surprised at how close to climax she already found herself, and allowed her thumb to graze her most sensitive spot. She writhed, gripping the handle of the tub with her free hand for support.
She held it off for as long as she could by halting her movements the closer she came to climax so to make every last moment last. Galinda soon found, however, that containing an orgasm wasn't her strongest point as her thighs bucked furiously. She swallowed more than a mouthful of bathwater as her cries became louder.
A swell of pleasure burned within her and she found it difficult to breathe; she had to let go. She moved furiously against her hand and let herself come, celestial bursts of emerald flashing before her eyes. And with the soft green skin, thin, beautiful lips, and enchanting eyes black as night in her vision Galinda cried out as wave upon wave of ecstasy enveloped her.
"Oh, Elphie. Elphie, sweet Oz, Elphie…"
Galinda shook violently, calling Elphaba's name time and time again, feeling green fingers inside her, Elphaba's breath upon her, their moisture mixing together in the throes of passion.
Galinda had lied to herself, that wasn't to be the last time. No, Galinda had lost herself in the experience and found that every orgasm she achieved was more pleasurable and stronger than the last. Finally, as she withdrew from the bath, she realised that more than half an hour had passed.
Galinda had to go and meet Elphaba, she had to look into Elphaba's eyes and give nothing away. Galinda didn't want Elphaba to know what had occupied her mind, prayed Elphaba would never know what occurred between them in her fantasies.
No, Galinda had to be normal, well as normal as she could be. She hadn't forgotten Elphaba had already witnessed Galinda pleasuring herself the night before. This was going to be tricky, but Galinda promised herself now that she was sexually fulfilled, Elphaba Thropp would never again occupy such a place in her mind.
Galinda was pleasantly surprised to find the breakfast hall almost empty when she arrived. There was nobody of any great significance there to comment on her association with the green girl. Most importantly of all, her society girls were nowhere to be seen, thank goodness.
Elphaba was, as always, sat alone at the back of the hall and on spotting her, Galinda swiftly made her way over to her roommate.
Elphaba had a frown written across her brow that reminded Galinda of her tardiness. She had taken far too much time to have just been getting ready and she was sure Elphaba had realized that.
"Where have you been?" Elphaba asked, the frown never leaving her face.
"Oh Elphie, you know how long it takes me, it's not easy achieving perfection you know," Galinda flashed her winning smile, hoping Elphaba would let her get away with it.
Galinda prayed that Elphaba would not see through the charade. She prayed Elphaba wouldn't recall last night and see it written all over Galinda's face again.
Elphaba looked suspiciously at Galinda. For once, the blonde girl did not look perfect. She looked flustered, and a little out of sorts. Elphaba didn't like to admit it, but she liked Galinda all the more for it.
"Well, you've missed breakfast now," Elphaba pointed to where the breakfast buffet had been.
"Oh it doesn't matter, I wasn't hungry anyway."
Galinda looked around nervously as a few students walked past her giggling and whispering.
Elphaba caught her look and spoke matter of factly.
"You do know that is going to happen a lot, don't you Galinda? I'm used to it, but you're not and I can imagine it being quite difficult for you. You really don't have to hang around with me. I'm quite happy to help you with your essay and leave it at that."
Elphaba considered that was the last thing she wanted to do but first and foremost in her mind was Galinda. She had to think of Galinda, not herself, Elphaba never thought about herself. She was quite sure the popular blonde wouldn't be able to cope with Elphaba's way of life or what the association would do to her glorious reputation.
Galinda swallowed, yes she did know, and she had expected it, but that didn't necessarily make it any easier. Galinda was popular, she always had been, and she wasn't sure she could stand the thought of people laughing about her behind her back. Was Elphaba really worth it?
"It's ok, really Elphie," Galinda attempted a weak smile.
"It's not really though, is it? You're the most popular girl in Shiz, and me, well I guess you could say I'm bottom of everyone's party guest list. Hardly a likely pairing is it?"
"I guess not, but I don't care Elphie, and you shouldn't either," Galinda sounded braver than she felt.
Elphaba stared, deeply moved by Galinda's unexpected stance of solidarity. Elphaba considered that maybe she hadn't given Galinda the credit she was due, after all, it wouldn't have been the first time.
A boy running towards the two roommates caught Galinda's attention, and she thanked goodness it was Boq rather than anyone else in Shiz. After all, hadn't all this been his idea in the first place? He was the one who encouraged her to speak with Elphaba about the essay.
Boq came running up as enthusiastically as ever.
"Good morning Miss Galinda, Miss Elphaba," he nodded at both of them and Galinda felt her heart leap for the green girl who Boq had included.
"Master Boq, how goes it with you today?" Galinda enquired.
"Very well, though I must admit the sight of you two together isn't the norm, now is it?"
"Well…" Galinda hesitated.
"We're working on the essay you so thoughtfully recommended me for," Elphaba replied, noticing Galinda's embarrassment.
"Excellent!" Boq exclaimed.
"Indeed," Elphaba eyed him suspiciously, and Boq, unable to face her inquisitive gaze, looked back at Galinda.
"So, how was the rest of your evening, Miss Galinda? I trust you got home safely and are feeling quite well again?"
"You never said you weren't feeling well again," Elphaba spoke.
"It passed as quickly as it came on," Galinda lied.
"I'm very glad to hear it," Boq grinned, "So…" he paused, thinking carefully how to phrase his next question. "Will you be dating Master Avaric again?"
Elphaba and Galinda exchanged looks that Boq couldn't fail to notice. He thought again to himself how odd it was to see them together.
"I can't imagine so," Galinda replied.
"But," Elphaba whispered, so that Galinda could not hear, "that does not mean she'll be going off to the Philosophy Club with you either."
Elphaba gave Boq a warning look whilst Galinda strained her ears to hear.
"Why, Miss Elphaba, what a thing to say! I would never suggest such a thing!" Boq protested.
"Good." Elphaba's reply was calm, but the fierceness in her eyes seemed to say: you do and you're dead.
"So, how is the essay coming along?" Boq quickly changed the subject.
"Well, if Miss Galinda had got out of bed earlier we would know. As it is, there hasn't been a lot of progress," Elphaba rolled her eyes at Galinda, who despite herself felt her heart flutter.
Galinda blushed, making Boq's own heart leap.
"I'm just not a morning person," Galinda shook her head, pretending to be concerned about that fact.
"You don't say," Elphaba quipped, smiling and showing those pearly white fangs that fascinated Galinda so.
Galinda pushed her playfully, much to the amazement of Boq, whose jaw dropped.
It was still there, that unmistakeable, electric feeling between the two girls on contact. Both Elphaba and Galinda attempted to swallow it down.
"Well Miss Galinda, perhaps if you manage to get you essay done on time you will consider sharing your best part of the day with me. Would you like to accompany me for a drink tonight?" It was about time Boq said exactly what he meant.
Galinda looked from Boq to Elphaba and back. It would seem out of character for her to hang back, but Galinda really was torn. She had been hoping Elphaba would spend the night with her, doing something other than studying, but she couldn't let that show. She had to be the Galinda everyone knew and loved, the one that would jump at the chance of a date. But it wasn't as if Boq was the boy she had been waiting for.
As if Boq could sense her discomfort he added, "How about you too, Miss Elphaba? The Peach and Kidneys has a cabaret on tonight."
Elphaba glared at Boq suspiciously and her eyes narrowed.
"Nothing seedy," he added quickly. "Just a cabaret. It's not often we see you out and about in Shiz."
Elphaba was startled, had she heard correctly? Had another student just invited her, Elphaba Thropp, out socially? A fellow Munchkinlander no less? Perhaps Galinda really could work magic. It was a strange feeling to comprehend but never the less, Elphaba was touched.
"If Galinda would like to go then I can't see a reason not to," Elphaba replied, looking towards Galinda.
Galinda was quite emotional herself at Elphaba being asked, she wiped a tear away from her eye and smiled. She was starting to make right.
"That's sounds like a good idea Master Boq," Galinda beamed, trying to suppress another tear.
Boq and Elphaba both felt a great fondness for Galinda at the very same moment. Boq considered her heart really was made of gold and she was simply the most beautiful girl in the world. Elphaba looked deeper than that; Galinda really was coming through as a friend, and what made it all the more special for Elphaba was the fact Galinda's kindness was genuine. Elphaba knew this because of the tear that rolled down Galinda's cheek, the way Galinda beamed a heartfelt smile in Elphaba's direction. Galinda really did care.
"Oh, and another thing," Boq added, "why don't you ask that sister of yours? It's not often we get to see her except in lectures. Being cooped up with Horrible Morrible can't be good for her."
Boq really was a nice guy, Elphaba thought, wishing she had never fallen out with Nessa over something so silly.
"My sister and I aren't talking," Elphaba stated calmly.
"Oh," exclaimed Boq, remembering his part in the trick that he assumed they had fallen out over.
"Well I think it's about time you two made up, after all you are sisters." Galinda stated, "I don't have any sisters or brothers but I know that if I did have I wouldn't fall out with them over anything," Galinda was surprised by her own voice.
"It wasn't exactly my fault we fell out," Elphaba growled.
It was Boq and Galinda's turn to exchange glances, knowing full well what Elphaba meant. Of course it had been their fault. Galinda supposed she should take most of the blame, had she not started up all sorts of rumours it would never have happened. Galinda felt a surge of guilt run through her, something had to be done.
"No, dear," Galinda said solemnly, "It wasn't you're fault, and those responsible really do regret their actions and hope you forgive them."
Elphaba felt a hand on top of hers and she fought the urge to flinch. It was Galinda's ever so familiar and welcomed touch. Elphaba's head spun as the invisible connection between her and the blonde intensified. That all too familiar feeling lit up between Galinda's legs and she pressed them together tightly.
Galinda's face reddened. This could not be happening. Hadn't she just relieved herself? Boq made no attempt to hide the astounded expression on his face. He wasn't sure whether it was the term of endearment Galinda had used or the physical contact between her and the green girl, but either way Boq was deeply shocked.
"I will go see Nessa and explain things, clear the air so to speak," Galinda finished.
"You would do that for me?" Elphaba looked doubtful.
"Of course I would, don't be so silly!" Galinda squeezed Elphaba's hand, sending a shiver through both of them.
"Maybe I could come with you?" Boq suggested.
"Yes, I think that would work. Everyone knows she has taken a shine to you," Galinda giggled at Boq's discomfort.
"Well if you think it would some good," Elphaba spoke thoughtfully, "I would go myself, but Nessa is frightful when she gets in one of her moods…"
Galinda burst let out a delightful giggle, unable to contain herself and Boq, finding her laughter infectious, allowed himself to join in.
"What?" Elphaba was puzzled.
"Have you met Elphaba Thropp recently?" Galinda laughed again and nudged her friend playfully again.
"I'm not as bad as Nessa," Elphaba protested.
"Whatever you say Elphie," Galinda gave Elphaba a look which said, I'm not sure you or I believe that.
Boq wanted to object to the name 'Elphie' but somehow he couldn't find reason to. Things had changed between Galinda and Elphaba, the girls were suddenly perfectly comfortable in each other's presence and it appeared they were (dare he think it?) friends. He couldn't begin to imagine what they would ever find to talk about.
"Leave it to us, Miss Elphaba," Boq stated, feeling pushed out of the conversation.
"My, look at the time Galinda!" Elphaba exclaimed, "We must get to the library! And you, Master Boq, should be heading off to lectures." Elphaba was firm, and it was clear Boq was expected to leave now.
"Well, good luck with the essay. Mine took the best part of a week," Boq confessed.
"Ah, but you didn't have Elphie," Galinda smiled and squeezed the green girls hand again.
"No, indeed not and you won't either unless you get a move on," Elphaba was up and heading towards the door of the breakfast hall.
"I'm coming, goodbye for now Master Boq!" Galinda scuttled after her friend, waving to Boq on the way.
"Here, eat this," Elphaba threw an apple Galinda's way, which she received gratefully, realising she was starving.
Elphaba was so cute at times, Galinda thought, even though the green girl could be very strict and appear to lack a sense of humour on certain occasions, she could still be very cute. No, that was wrong, Galinda shouldn't think such things.
Galinda hoped she had it in her power to reunite the two sisters, each as stubborn as the other. She would do everything she could, and with Boq's help she was convinced she could do it. After all, she hadn't failed to notice Nessa was quite sweet on Boq.
Galinda had made a good start today with Elphaba and prayed to Lurline she would be able to keep up the act. Galinda wanted nothing to come in the way of their newly budding friendship, though she still didn't fancy meeting up with her society girls with Elphaba in tow. Still, some time soon Galinda would have to face being seen with Elphaba in public. Perhaps even that very night when the two of them accompanied Boq and Nessa to the cabaret. Someone was bound to notice her, she was always the talk of the town, and she liked that—well, at least she used to.
"Elphie, you really are too nice," Galinda muttered between dainty bites of her apple.
"I know," Elphaba whispered so softly only she could hear. She slowed her pace and allowed Galinda to catch up.
Elphaba suddenly felt oddly special to have the blonde girl walking beside her. Elphaba's heart skipped a beat, and she only just managed to resist the urge to link arms with her more than lovely roommate. She found that all of a sudden she wanted, needed Galinda's touch, but that would have to wait for now. That would have to wait for later. Now, Elphaba had a job to do, a job she was going to do well, not for her own sake but for that of the lovely Galinda Upland.
