Chapter Twenty

Ruby and Nicole the morning after

Both girls stir from their slumber disturbed by the house phone ringing. Nicole crawls out of bed in the general direction of the ringing peels away layers of clothing to answer the phone.

"Hello".

"Hey Nicole, it's Charlie, is Ruby still with you"?

"Yes, she is, is everything alright"?

"Oh yes, just needed to speak with her about something".

"It's for you! It's your sister"!

"Hey Charlz, what's up, the babysitter revolting is she"?

Ruby giggles down the phone, hoping nothing too serious had happened.

"I'm ok now Rubz. George is here and she needs to speak with you about some things. SHE calls it comparing notes! I think it is just ganging up on me. Either way she wants to know when you are coming home, because she won't leave without talking with you first".

"Oh really? I wanted to stay here a bit longer, and hang out some more coz Roman and Belle won't be back now til tomorrow night".

Ruby looks over at Nicole, who has a rather hurt expression on her face. 'Damn it Ruby you haven't had much time away from Charlie, I really want to spend my day with you, and continue what we were doing before the phone rang'.

"Oh okay, Charlie, I will be home soon, how long? Half an hour, is that ok? Fine Charlz I'll see you soon. I am so sorry Nic, Charlie must have had a nightmare. Georgie is being protective of me now as well as Charlz. 'As much as I don't want to go, I owe George'!

"She did come to my rescue allowing me to have at least one night with you".

"I know. I know. I just wanted to repeat what we did before. Now I will have to wait...."

Nicole's voice trails off as she contemplates when the next opportunity will come. 'I know Nicole is upset, so am I, last night was amazing. It's all so new, it's so hard to describe in words what feelings go through your body, when you are touched, kissed, licked, sucked, oh sucked, yes I really liked that bit the most'. A mischievous grin breaks out on Ruby's face, as she walks towards Nicole and wrapping her arms around her waist and back, pulling her in so tight, that once again skin on skin contact, starts to rouse their inner thermal energy.

"So we have about half an hour, before I have to run back home, got any ideas how to fill in the time"?

Nicole looks into Ruby's eyes leans in and gently places her lips on Ruby's and guides her back onto the bed.

About an later

Oh FFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

RRRUUUUBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYY

Ruby loves hearing her name yelled out by Nicole, whilst Nicole's body writhes rhythmically underneath her, Nicole has a hold of Ruby's hair, twisted up in her hands as Ruby is savouring the sweet taste of Nicole, with the last quivers of her orgasm coursing through her body. Ruby gently sucks at Nicole nub, and delicately moves her tongue over the still engorged lips feeling the last ebb of the orgasm dissipate. Ruby lies watching her girlfriend's body recovering from this latest love fest. 'I can't believe that last night I only knew the effect kissing Nicole had. Now, all I want to do, is taste her again, if she will let me that is'! I love how Nic responds to my touch and how when she nips at my breasts I feel a slow fire inside me'. A cheeky grin spreads across Ruby's face, funny how no one ever tells you that your face can be sticky after oral sex!

Ruby now has her head resting on Nicole's stomach, her left hand slowly placing lazy circles across Nic's inner thighs, feeling Nicole's muscles tighten and relax. Both girls are a spent force for the moment. 'I have no energy left'.

"Hey Nicole, did we actually eat any food last night? Or have we stayed up here the entire time"?

"Um, you know I can only think of the cream and strawberries, oh and the chocolate sauce"!

The giggling becomes uncontrollable laughter because they remembered they have only eaten each other! A silent understanding of how quickly two close friends can move to lovers. All you need is trust, in each other. The laughing subsides, as their stomachs rumble.

"Hey Nicole, I want to spend all day in bed but I better get back to Charlie, and whatever George wanted to speak with me about".

"Do you really have to go? I want to stay here forever".

A pleading voice from Nicole, not prepared to say the whole truth.

"Oh Nic so do I. If we want more sleep overs I gotta make sure Charlie is ok".

"Oh I like your scheming Buckton! Two cops in the family no wonder you are so sneaky".

"Well it does have a mutual benefit for both of us"!

They are now holding each other Ruby leaning up against the wall of pillows and Nicole lying on Ruby, with her head cradled in Ruby's breasts. Both girls are wondering what will happen to them, when they finally leave the bedroom. After the bomb on the bus, and both Ruby and I being on Trey's hit list, we started leaning on each other. That was three months ago. 'Now look what has happened, here we are lying on my bed, I can taste Ruby and her scent is mixed with mine'.

" Rubz? What does this mean for us now? Are we a couple, or friends with benefits? You know, I was always attracted to guys it never occurred to me that I was interested in women"?

I still can't work out where we stopped being friends, and started being girlfriends, was it after the bomb or after Charlie's stabbing? All I know is that I can't be apart from Nicole my thoughts are of her, when will I see her, hear her voice, and feel safe in her arms.

"Nicole I am so into you, I stood outside your front door last night, knowing that by going in my life would never be the same. And now, I am so glad I came in. This has been the most amazing, stupendous, delicious, and lovely night of my life and that is all because of you. I just wish Charlie would find someone she needs to be in love and be loved. After Roman and then Angelo, her track record with men is crap. Oh and Nicole, we are a couple, whatever happens we will get through it together.

After a lingering and wanting kiss to seal the deal affirming their newly defined coupling, Ruby pulls away.

But can we keep it our little secret for the next few days, I will tell Charlie, but not yet. What about Roman, when are you going to spill to him"?

"Good point, I never see him separately from Belle these days, so I guess I will be telling both of them. I wonder how she will react, her possible step daughter coming out".

Both giggle at the reactions they will get. Then simultaneously yell out.

Colleen!!!

Oh Nic, we can have so much fun winding her up, it will be great to see how 'Miss Groper of Summer Bay from decades passed' copes with lesbians! Did I just call myself a lesbian?

No Ruby you called US lesbians!!!!!

After more laughing, the girls decide the sleepover club of Summer Bay has to come to an end after Ruby saw what the time was. Jumping off the bed, Ruby find her clothes strewn everywhere, she throws on the clothes, finds her bag, and then rushes up onto the bed and kisses Nicole goodbye, before exiting centre stage. Cyclone Ruby has left the building! Nicole lies back on her bed, the air is totally scent-filled of Ruby, and all of Ruby.
