Hello everyone! Sorry I took a while to update this; I've just been so busy with school and such. Hopefully I can start updating this on a more regular basis. This chapter is a bit fluffy I think but the next chapters are gonna be a bit fast forward and the drama is about to begin.

Enjoy guys! :) xxxx

Chapter 12

Nevra kept the music off as she drove along the quiet streets of Stiles City, simply drumming her nails against the steering wheel every now and then as she drove towards the area where Cloe lived. However, it was as if she was on autopilot and her body was just subconsciously driving to where Cloe lived, because her whole mind was on the conversation she'd had with her father. She just couldn't believe that he was seriously accusing their long time, extremely trust worthy housekeeper of doing such a thing. Was he really that blinded by the love he had for her mother? She just didn't understand his thinking process at the moment – not at all.

It wasn't long before Nevra found herself pulling into Cloe's driveway. She got out and locked up the car before rushing up to the front door, pressing the doorbell straight away. She breathed out and tapped her foot against the ground, just needing to get inside and hug Cloe as tight as possible.

And finally after a few more seconds, and she saw her beautiful girlfriend with a makeup free face, her long blond hair tied up in a messy bun, and a pair of plaid pajama bottoms and black tank top on...

"I missed you!" Cloe burst out straight away as she laid her eyes on Nevra. Nevra giggled, stepping inside and letting Cloe shut the door, before she then finally wrapped her arms around Cloe's neck even though she was slightly taller than her blonde beauty. Cloe giggled up at her and wrapped her arms around Nevra's waist, pecking her cheek as she did so.

"I missed you too, Angel; so much." Nevra mumbled as she hugged her properly. Cloe hugged her back, giving her a squeeze before holding her hand as they went in the kitchen. She got them both a bottle of water, before the two girls then retreated upstairs to Cloe's room. Cloe shut her bedroom door and locked it, before moving her notebook and MacBook from her bed so that Nevra squeeze on with her.

"I'm supposed to be doing homework but whatever it'll get done before Trig tomorrow afternoon." she giggled. Nevra gave a cute smile before kicking off her heels and laying down on Cloe's bed; Cloe of course putting the main light out and leaving her desk lamp on before laying down beside her girlfriend. She wrapped her arm around her middle and rested her head on her shoulder, smiling to herself as she felt Nevra wrap her arm around her back.

"This feels so nice; I love this – I never thought I would be in relationship with one of my best friends, but I am and even though this is only the first day, it feels so good." Nevra spoke softly, absentmindedly stroking Cloe's arm. Cloe squeezed her and kissed her cheek before moving so that she was cheekily sitting on Nevra's stomach. Nevra's eyes widened at this sudden movement, and a string of promiscuous thoughts about her girlfriend suddenly raced through her mind.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Sitting here." Cloe replied with a wink. She then took a sip of her water before putting it back on her bedside table, before leaning down and pecking Nevra's lips. Nevra smiled and stroked her waist before leaning up slightly so that she could give Cloe yet another kiss on the lips. Cloe grabbed her face with her hands, deepening their kiss ever so slightly, smiling as she felt Nevra wrap her arms around her waist. It seemed as if the two girls were already addicted to each other, their lips hardly parting for even air as they kissed each other back.

It was a few moments later when the two finally pulled apart, both of them breathing slightly heavier yet smiling at each other as they gazed into each other's eyes.

"Fuck, Cloe; you can't be kissing me like that." she giggled, stroking Cloe's waist with her thumbs. Cloe gave her a mischievous smile, winking at her.

"Maybe I want to." she smirked. Nevra smirked, leaning up on her elbows even though Cloe was still straddling her waist.

"You're so naughty, I swear," she tapped her nose before continuing, "I love you, you know; and I already feel much better being here with you."

"Well good, because I aim to make you feel better – and you know if you want to talk about it, I'm here for you." Cloe said, stroking her cheek. She then leaned down and softly kissed her lips, smiling to herself.

"I love you too by the way." she added. Nevra giggled and sat up, hugging her as tight as possible, feeling much better than she'd felt in a long time...

Cloe and Nevra remained snuggled up for a while, only briefly breaking apart when Cloe's mom poked her head in to say hello as she'd seen Nevra's car outside once the family had returned home. After a while, Nevra figured that she best get home as she hadn't seen her housekeeper in a few days and was looking forward to a chat with her.

And she was most certainly hoping her mother wasn't there...

"Do you really have to go?" Cloe whined as she sat in the passenger seat of Nevra's car; having walked with her outside to say goodnight as well in the privacy of the car.

"Yes I do, honey; I have to go home eventually – and do some investigating as well; I need to take my mother down." Nevra breathed out, shaking her head. Cloe nodded, stroking Nevra's hand with her thumb.

"Let me know if you find anything," she told her before leaning over and kissing her lips, "I love you."

"I love you more, and I'll let you know." Nevra replied, smiling at her. Cloe smiled again and gave Nevra yet another loving kiss on the lips; both of the girls being grateful that it was dark outside and no one could see them.

"I'll see you later." Nevra smiled. Cloe waved and got out of the car, before rushing up to the front door and going inside. Nevra beeped the horn before driving off, sighing to herself as she merged into the Stiles City night traffic...

As she drove along the streets of Stiles City going towards her house, Nevra let her mind drift back to her father laying in the hospital. She knew that her mother was behind this somehow, and she would do anything in her power to find out what happened and what was going on because something had to be done. She couldn't let her mother hurt her dad in anyway; she had to go.

Soon enough, Nevra found herself pulling into the driveway of her home, smiling to herself at the fact that her housekeeper was there. She sighed to herself and got out of the car, getting her bags from the day before, then heading off inside. She could hear her housekeeper pottering around in the kitchen and humming to herself, which led to her making her way into the kitchen to see her.

"Hey Linda." she greeted, making the older woman look up. She smiled straight away, rushing over and pulling Nevra into a warm hug.

"Hello sweetheart; oh I'm so glad you're alright." she greeted, squeezing her tightly. Nevra squeezed her back, kissing her cheek as she did so.

"I'm fine, I promise," she sighed before letting go of her, "Where's Bethany?"

"Out somewhere; frankly I don't care where she is – she came in earlier to get some clothes then she left again." Linda explained. Nevra rolled her eyes before sitting down at the island counter top.

"Linda, honestly there's something fishy there – she did something to dad and I know she did, and it has something to do with his business." she replied. Linda nodded her head. She had recently been thinking the same thing but hadn't wanted to say anything about it.

"I honestly didn't want to think that but I believe she has something to do with things as well; it's just too weird – and it would make sense since he let her have some financial control over the business-" Linda was saying before being cut off by Nevra.

"Wait what?" she asked.

"The other day, Monday I wanna say it was; your father went and gave half of the control of the finances of the shop over to your mother." Linda replied. Nevra was taken aback by this information, and now she felt even more compelled to try and figure out what exactly led to her father being drugged. What was her mother playing at?

"We'll take her down, Linda; I know we will." Nevra said. Linda nodded, giving the young girl a high five.

They had to take Bethany down if it was the last thing they did...

A little while later, Nevra had just laid down in bed and began watching some random show that was gonna put her to sleep when her phone suddenly buzzed on the bedside table. She rolled over and grabbed it, smiling straight away as she saw that Cloe had text her.

[Cloe: 11:45pm – Hey you; can I have a ride to school in the morning? ;)]

Nevra laughed to herself at Cloe asking such a question. She knew Cloe was really asking as a joke, as she was always welcome to a ride to school – especially now that they'd reached such a level in their overall relationship.

[11:46pm – No I don't think you can ;)]

[Cloe: 11:46pm – Babeeeee :( hehe]

[11:47pm – Don't be asking me stupid questions then ;) You know you can have a ride :P]

[Cloe: 11:48pm – Hehe I knew, I just wanted to ask anyway ;)

[11:49pm – You're so silly! What are you doing? :)]

[Cloe: 11:50pm – Just laying in bed; listening to music lol that goddamn Cheryl Cole album you've been playing in the car lol What are you doing?]

[11:51pm – Got a fan out of you didn't I ;) lol good taste in music baby :P anyways I'm just laying down; watching cartoons lol I probably need to sleep since we do actually have school tomorrow but meh lol]

[Cloe: 11:51pm – Yeah you do need to sleep; I do too! If you'd get the fuck off my mind, I would actually go to sleep but you're on my mind so ;) lol]

[11:52pm - Funny enough you're on my mind too ;) lol]

[Cloe: 11:52pm – You're always on my mind baby; I seriously love you a lot Nevra. I know it's only day one but this just feels so perfectly right :)]

Nevra smiled at the text from Cloe, feeling the butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. She agreed with Cloe a hundred percent; even though it was only day one, everything was so right and perfect already. She smiled to herself before laying down in her bad properly, texting her girlfriend for a few hours into the night.

And just after three in the morning, she drifted off to sleep with a sweet smile on her face and her phone still in her hand...
