#58 – Breaking Rules
They lay together in the half-light of dawn, still drowsy with sleep. Elphaba took the fair hand of the girl beside her, and pressed it against her own, frowning at the contrast. Glinda folded her fingers between Elphie's green ones, and lifted them to her lips, breaking Elphaba's face into a soft smile, which she returned with a gentle kiss.
Sighing, Elphie pulled her close, inhaling the sweet strawberry scent of her blonde curls. They lay like that, drifting in and out of sleep for another hour or so, until Elphaba, ever a 'morning person', decided to surface. She woke Glinda, dropping a feather-light kiss on her nose.
The blonde responded with a yawn and a disgruntled 'And I love you too,' which made Elphie giggle, something she was doing more and more often in Glinda's company.
'Nowhere near as much as I love you, my sweet,' she replied, with a kiss on Glinda's pouted lips.
Glinda sighed, 'We're breaking all the rules, you know.'
Elphaba raised an eyebrow, before deciding against getting up in favour of another hour in bed with her beautiful girlfriend.
'Love has no rules, my darling Glinda. And if it did, I would gladly break every one of them if it meant being with you.'
