CHAPTER 14
"Ali," Cece groaned, "Your phone."
Cece didn't know how her girlfriend was sleeping through the loud ringing of her phone.
Cece grumbled as she rolled out of bed and dug around until she found her girlfriends' phone.
"Hello?"
"Cece," it was Ali's mom, "Is Ali there?"
Cece stifled a yawn as she climbed back into bed, "Yeah, she's just sleeping. You want me to wake her up for you?"
Alison's mom sighed, "No, it's okay. I figured she was there but I was expecting her home last night, that's all."
"Oh," Cece bit her lip, "Sorry. I…I didn't know, I thought you knew she was staying. I'll bring her home – "
"Cece, it's fine, don't worry about it. I'll speak to her later. I just needed to know she was there, safe," Jessica sounded relieved.
Cece nodded, "Okay, sure. Well she is. Totally safe."
"Thanks Cece, I'll talk to you later."
"Sure, bye," Cece hung up.
Cece sighed, turning to her girlfriend who was somehow still sleeping peacefully. She lay down beside her and ran her hands over her hips, nuzzling into her neck softly.
"Mm," Alison hummed, eyes still closed.
Cece chuckled, "Right, so that wakes you up but you can sleep through your ridiculous ring tone fifty times."
Alison made a sleepy noise in her throat, "What you talking about?" she mumbled.
Cece nipped Alison's neck gently, "Your mom was calling," she explained, "Apparently she didn't even know you were sleeping over. Why didn't you tell her?"
Alison's eyes opened and she turned to face the older woman, "Oh shit," she swore, "I told her I was coming over but not staying. I just forgot. You distracted me!"
Cece rolled her eyes, "It's my fault? Ali! Come on, I'm trying to make a good impression on your mom, remember?"
Alison bit her lip, "I know, I know. I'm sorry. I'll talk to her."
Cece nodded, kissing Alison's lips quickly.
"But hey, you know my mom likes you," Alison said, "She really does."
Cece shrugged, "I guess. I just don't want you to have to stop coming here or anything, that's all. We have to stick by the rules, Ali."
Alison laughed, "Never thought I'd hear Cece Drake say that."
Cece giggled, "Yeah, well never thought I'd have someone important enough to make me want to follow the rules," she smiled.
Alison blushed, "You're sweet," she murmured, a hand on Cece's collarbone.
"You're a troublemaker," Cece shot back before her breath hitched as Alison's other hand tickled her hip gently under her singlet.
Alison grinned, "I know," her fingers danced over Cece's stomach, "Your skin is so soft," she breathed as her fingers made their way over her girlfriends' ribs.
"Your hands are…" Cece breathed contentedly, closing her eyes.
Alison giggled, "That wasn't exactly a finished sentence."
Cece opened her eyes, smiling sheepishly, "Heaven," she finished, "Your hands are heaven. You have no idea what you do to me," she whispered.
Alison bit her lip, "I might have a slight idea," she murmured, her palms massaging Cece's hips.
Cece's eyes were fixed on her girlfriend, "Ali, I love you."
Alison's lips curled into a smile, "I love you too. I love this side of you, Ce. I like that you can be vulnerable with me. I get the feeling there's not a lot of people you've been able to be like that with."
Cece nodded, "Well, you're special. I'm… in awe of you."
Alison blushed again before smirking, "I am pretty awesome."
Cece rolled her eyes, "Ha ha," she drawled, "I take it back. I think you know exactly what you do to me."
Alison's eyes lit up mischievously, "You're not particularly subtle," she whispered into Cece's ear before biting it gently.
"Mm," Cece hummed happily, "I like it when you're… in control like this. It's nice. To let go. To let someone else take the reins."
Alison kissed Cece's neck gently, then her jaw and to her lips.
"You can let go any time with me," Alison pulled Cece's head into her chest, kissing the top of her head.
"Yeah," Cece nodded, speaking softly, "I know," she closed her eyes as she felt Alison's fingers run through her hair, "That's nice," she murmured.
Alison smiled, "Now who's the sleepy one?" she asked gently.
"Mm," Cece could feel her body relax every time she felt her girlfriends' touch, "Not sleepy. Just relaxed. I like lying here like this."
"So do I," Alison replied, yawning a little, "But I might fall asleep. Is that okay?"
Cece nodded, nuzzling into Alison's chest, "Of course. I might too," she admitted, running a hand over her eyes.
Alison giggled, "Cutie."
Cece looked up at her sheepishly, "Shush you."
"Not my fault you have adorable mannerisms," Alison grinned.
Cece shrugged, "Yeah, yeah."
"Yeah, yeah," Alison teased gently, "I wish I could stay here every night."
"I wish too," Cece murmured, "Someday?"
Alison smiled happily, "Someday!"
