CHAPTER 21

Reese was on the top of the roof with the rest of her guys, working on the roof rebuild ordered by Homer. It was a job that required all hands on deck and Reese was definitely a hands-on lead architect. It had been a week into the build as they were constructing the beams to develop the shaped of the roof.

Obie was using the nail gun on one of the beams that he was working on near Reese.

"How is Bianca?" He asked.

Reese smiled, "She's healing. Her ribs have definitely gotten better. It'll be a another week before she can take the sling off for her shoulder blade," Reese explained as she too was working on a beam with a nail gun.

Obie nodded, "I'm glad that the two of you are back together. As the saying goes: Il n'y a qu'un bonheur dans la vie, c'est d'aimer et d'être aimé."

"What the hell does that mean?" One of Reese's crew members, Richie asked.

Reese softly chuckled, "It means: There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. It was a quote from 'Letter to Lina Calamatta', written by a famous French novelist named George Sand," she explained.

Richie nodded his head in appreciation, "Sounds like the guy had a way with words."

"George Sand was a woman," Obie interjected. "It wasn't the name she was born with, but she was known at times as dressing in men's clothing." Obie further explained.

Richie laughed, "Thank you for the French history lesson!"

Reese shook her head, "Damn. My nail gun ran out of power. Ugh! I'm going to get this charged and then switch it out of a charged gun. I'll be back," she announced as she made her way down the ladder.

Reese headed to the truck where she unloaded the dead nail gun and grabbed the adapter as she headed into fusion to plug it in and let it charge there. As she made her way in, she ran into Ava who was making her way out.

"Reese…hi," Ava smiled.

"Hey Ava. How have you been?" Reese felt so uneasy being around Ava now. Although Ava was so easy going about the break up, it seemed so unnatural that she wouldn't be madder.

"I'm good. Homer and I actually made some headway on that new fragrance that I told you about us creating for Fusion."

"That's great."

"How's Bianca?"

Reese smiled, "She's much better. You know, you don't have to act so…understanding about any of this. If you want to stand there and tell me what an idiot I was with you, I will understand completely."

Ava tilted her head to the side, "So you rather me get pissed and tell you how bitter I am that you broke up with me?"

"I guess that it sounds dumb when you say it aloud like that," Reese shifted her eyes. "But you have that right to be mad at me."

Ava combed her fingers through her brunette curly locks, "Reese, we weren't exclusive. We dated, but we never took that step to even call one another girlfriends. Hell, we never even slept together to really make our relationship turn into something serious."

"Didn't you want more out of me?"

"I wanted date you – which I did. I figured that if we were to become more serious, it would've happened already. You actually broke up with me before I break up with you."

Reese shook her head, "No wonder you were way too cool about the break up."

"Cats out of the bag," she softly smiled, "but I still think that you are an awesome person and a kick ass architect. And now I can have the bragging rights of saying that I dated Reese Williams," she kissed Reese on the cheek. "Good luck to you and Bianca," she winked as she took off.

"Holy shit! I was totally expecting a cat fight!" Greenlee emerged from around the corner.

Reese laughed shaking her head as she walked over to the nearest outlet, plugging her nail gun in.

"Do you always snoop around Greenlee?" Reese asked over her shoulder.

"Only when I'm within earshot…or need to come closer to make out what people are saying," she joked as she unraveled a tootsie pop and placed it in her mouth.

Reese looked at the candy, "Sort of early for lollipops, no?"

"Emma's Halloween candy from last nights haul," She explained. "After she went out with friends, she came back with a huge pillow case of candy."

Reese smiled, "I took Gabi out and she got a pretty good haul of candy too. Miranda went off with AJ and a few friends."

"Ah," Greenlee nodded. "Where was Bianca?"

"At home giving out candy."

Greenlee smiled, "I'm so glad that you two worked it out and are together again."

"You and me, both. I have to get back on the roof. Talk to you soon?"

"Of course."

Reese headed back out the truck outside to grab a charged nail gun and join the rest of her guys on the roof.

oooOOOooo

A week later, Reese was back at her hotel to pack the rest of her clothes and go to Bianca's full-time. Since they had gotten together Reese had spent the evening with Bianca and the kids, but then left after dinner. Now that their children knew about their relationship, Reese and Bianca decided that for the rest of the time that she was in Pine Valley, that Reese would stay at Bianca's home.

As Reese was packing the last of her belongings she heard a knock on the door. When she answered it, she saw Bianca on the other side, free from her brace and sling.

"Wow," Reese smiled at her girlfriend, "so today was the day that that the sling and brace came off?"

Bianca stepped into the room, closing the door behind her, "Mm-hmm." She wrapped her arms around Reese's neck.

"Why didn't you tell me? I would have been there for you," Reese placed her hands on Bianca's hips.

"I wanted to surprise you," Bianca nuzzled her nose against Reese.

"And seduce me?" Reese nuzzled her nose back.

"That too. I figured with this being the last night at the hotel we may as well christen it," Bianca kissed Reese's neck.

"Oh," Reese moaned, "When you do that…"

"You turn to putty," Bianca finished in between kisses as her lips made their way to Reese's. "You always did."

"And you never forgot." Reese pressed her forehead against Bianca's, panting already, "I want you, now."

Bianca took Reese's hand to her mouth and licked her fingertips. Reese watched intensely into Bianca's eyes as Bianca pushed up her skirt and pushed her panties aside as she guided Reese's hand to her core.

"Ooh," Bianca rolled her eyes back as Reese began to pick up speed rubbing her fingers against her nub. "Mm!" Bianca gripped onto Reese's shoulders.

"I love you," Reese delved her fingers into Bianca's heat, causing her to thrust her hips harder against Reese's hand.

Bianca released a choked sob as she came into Reese's hand. Reese kissed her neck as Bianca lazily rested her head against the wall.

"I want more," Bianca moaned. "That was way too fast." She rested her head tiredly against Reese's.

Reese smiled to Bianca, gazing into her eyes, "We stink at the whole taking it slow thing."

Bianca lightly giggled, "I love you."

"I love you, more."

"You still have your hand…"

"Oh," Reese began to stimulate Bianca once more, moving two of her fingers in and out of her moist folds again, "I should remove these, right?" She teased.

"Move them, yes," she whimpered out, "remove them, then I'll never forgive you!" Bianca began riding Reese's masterful fingers once more.

Reese chuckled quickly, "Can't have that," she nipped on Bianca's neck as she continued to writher in her touch.

"Mmm!" Bianca's hands wandered beneath Reese's blouse to grab her breast.

Reese couldn't take not feeling Bianca's bare skin against her own any longer. Against Bianca's wishes, she removed her fingers from Bianca's thighs and began undressing Bianca. Although she released a whimper of momentary disappointment, Bianca followed Reese's lead and began helping Reese out of her clothes as well. A fury of clothes went flying in every direction of the room as they stripped the other naked.

Bianca turned Reese around so that now her back was against the wall. Their lips met in a feverishly passionate kiss. The feel of Bianca's breasts against her own only spurred Reese on further as their tongues began to dance in an exquisitely erotic French kiss. When the kiss ended they were both heaving for breath.

"Bed," Bianca breathed out.

"Bed," Reese repeated. They kissed as Reese walked Bianca towards the bed. Bianca crawled backward on it as Reese crawled towards Bianca maintaining the most intense passionately hungry eye contact.

Reese captured Bianca's lips once more in a sensual kiss and then her tongue trailed its way from her chin, to her neck, and then to the pink bud of her breast. Reese tenderly squeeze Bianca's right breast while she sucked on her left breast.

"Uhhh!" Bianca arched her back as her fingers tangled into Reese's hair.

Reese kissed down Bianca's stomach then down the apex of her thighs and then she placed a kiss on Bianca's mound. Bianca's back arched once more upon Reese's skillful flick of her entrance with her tongue. Reese sucked and pulled and licked, causing Bianca to moan helplessly. Just as Bianca thought that she couldn't take anymore, Reese inserted two of her fingers into her folds as she continued her efforts on Bianca's nub.

Reese then widened Bianca's legs more as she held Bianca's hips and began to grind her hips into Bianca's as the delicious friction of her wet mound against Bianca's stimulated them both.

Bianca's only moaned louder as they grinded harder and faster against the other. This orgasm came hard and fast. Instinctively they both plunged their fingers into the other's core, rhythmically stroking in and out of each other. Again another orgasm hit them both as they convulsed against each other.

Reese collapsed her head onto Bianca's chest. They heaved heavily with each other, trying to get their breathing back to normal. Bianca combed her fingers through Reese's hair tiredly.

"God," Reese moaned, "If you were a drug, you would be illegal," Reese said exhaustedly. "I want you again." Reese lightly traced her fingertips along the side of Bianca's ribcage.

Bianca chuckled causing Reese to feel it through her own body. "I figured as much. I want you again, too. First…rest," Bianca kissed the top of Reese's head. "Next round it's my turn to pleasure you."

They drifted off to sleep in each other's arms. The simple and pure feeling of contentment washed over them both as their bodies both were calming down from the fire they had both lit.

oooOOOooo

Bianca reached out for Reese in bed, already craving her body again. They made love from the afternoon into the evening. When Bianca felt for Reese, there was nothing but ruffled sheets.

Bianca sat up to see Reese with a sheet wrapped around her as she looked out of the window. Bianca couldn't help but appreciate how the light of the moonlight made Reese look especially stunning. Bianca got up, walking over to Reese.

When Reese saw Bianca coming, she gazed at her lovingly and opened her blanket wide to let Bianca inside, wrapping Bianca around both her arms and the blanket. Bianca had her back facing Reese. Looking out of the window, she could see droplets of rain on the windows that fell earlier in the afternoon. They both stood facing the moon with only the blanket covering their still naked bodies.

Reese rested her chin onto Bianca's right shoulder. Bianca let out a content sigh as they continued to gaze at the moon through the partially opened venetian blinds.

"Why aren't you in bed?" Bianca asked.

"I was thinking. You know that I still live in the house that I built for us in France, right?"

Bianca simply nodded.

"I was so close to selling it throughout the years after the divorce. I never was able to bring myself to actually doing it. There's a hill that over looks the house. For a while I would sit at the top of that hill. For hours I would imagine us as a family creating memories in that house. I would imagine you and I growing old together in that house," Reese stared at the moon seriously as she admitted that bit to Bianca.

"Do you still do that now? Sit on the top of the hill, I mean."

Bianca felt Reese shake her head, 'no', "I gave up doing it two years ago. By that time you and I still weren't talking and everything felt so hopeless as far as us getting back together," Reese explained.

Bianca reached her right hand out behind her, stroking the back of Reese's head, "I was being stubborn."

"We both were stubborn," Reese conceded.

"Either way, I should've been better to you."

"I don't regret anything that happened. If I did then would dwell and obsess over it. Then more likely than not I wouldn't standing here watching the moon in nothing but a blanket holding the woman I love in my arms."

Bianca turned herself around so that she was now facing Reese. "How could I have forgotten how amazing you are?"

Reese smiled, "Yeah, how could you?" She humored before kissing Bianca a passionate languid kiss. "Who has the girls? Knowing you, this was a carefully planned seduction."

"They're staying the night with Zach and Kendall."

Reese smiled, "Always the planner," she kissed Bianca's forehead. "Tu es la femme de mes rêves." (You are the woman of my dreams)

Bianca smiled at Reese's words. "Tu es la femme de mes rêves," Bianca whispered back in response.

They lovingly held beach other close as the moon beamed down on the two of them.
