One Week Later

"I hope he doesn't expect us to go so easy, my boy." She whispered to the younger man.

The man traced his eyes over the brick building before him; Somewhere, inside, his nephew was resting peacefully. "I don't think he does, mother." He said in a equally hushed tone.

The Next Day

Bayley woke up, as she now usually did, with a bright smile on her face. The dark skinned, two tone haired girl to her right was sleeping peacefully; Bayley smiled brighter at her sleeping girlfriend. Since they had began seeing each other three months prior, Bayley had the hopes to take things slow with Ember and see if she had feelings for her before they did anything serious. That changed on the day of Finn's court day, when a makeout session led to some playful groping. Then, last night, when Bayley and Ember cuddled in bed to watch a movie Ember insisted they should watch together, Bayley leaned over her new girlfriend to swipe her phone from the nightstand. Somewhere along those lines, there may have been a miscommunication, Bayley figured. Ember wrapped her arms around Bayley and began kissing her; One thing led to another, and both girls soon found themselves making love to each other. It wasn't an unpleasant experience for Bayley, she just had no idea that Ember wanted to do that with her. She was still hesitant to have people touch her private area, thanks to her parents, but Ember (and formally, Alexa) were an exception to that.

Bayley whisked some strands of hair out of Ember's face; She changed her gray highlights to some orange and red ones, which Bayley liked very much. She like looking at her. She was just so pretty to Bayley.

Ember's eyes opened partially, then opened completely; Her eyes were her natural light brown, as she hadn't worn her usual colored contacts when she arrived last night.

Both girls began giggling uncontrollably; Bayley hid her face in her pillow, while Ember rolled on her back and covered her face with her hands.

"Wow, I, um," Ember tried saying between giggles. "Last night was nice, Bayley."

Bayley, still giggling, peaked an eye out from behind her pillow. "Was it? I don't h-have much experience with girls... or b-boys."

Ember nodded her head. "You were amazing," She set her hands on her bare stomach and rolled her head to face Bayley. "I didn't push you did I?"

Bayley furrowed her eyebrows. "W-what do you mean? I didn't s-say anything bad, did I?"

"No, I just never usually make the first move. And when I do, I mess up bad. So...?"

Bayley, scooting closer to Ember, gave her a brief but somewhat affectionate kiss. "You were amazing, baby. Feel free to make a move whenever you want."

Ember, returning the kiss with a brief show of affection of her own, gently caressed Bayley's backside with her hands. "I like this." She whispered, squeezing gently.

Bayley giggled. "I like these." She whispered back, sliding her hands up Ember's chest until they rested on her breasts.

Both girls stared in each other's eyes, trying to look serious and sexy at the same time, but quickly broke out into giggles once again.

"One thing you need to know about me," Bayley began. "Is that I cannot be serious to save my life. I'll start giggling at the very mention of butts. I-I'm pretty much a six year old in a twenty four year old's body."

Ember grinned. "Me too. I can't watch a serious movie without making a sarcastic comment every two seconds. You probably figured that out last night."

Bayley recalled the various jokes Ember told while trying to watch Forrest Gump; Bayley laughed heartily at every joke, even if she didn't find it hilarious.

"I noticed," Bayley said, adding a kiss at the end. "I like it w-when you make me laugh," She giggled nervously, breaking eye contact for a brief second. Blushing greatly, she whispered. "And c-come, too."

Ember stifled a giggle by biting her lip. "Yeah? I like doing that too. Maybe the second one a little more than the first."

Bayley giggled, but then scrunched her face in question. "D-did you... Ya know?"

Ember nodded her head quickly. "Oh, yeah, definitely. Like, everywhere."

Bayley broke out in laughter once again, being joined by Ember shortly after. Both girls just laid there, in each other's arms, laughing uncontroallably for a few moments. Ember calmed down first and kissed Bayley; Bayley quickly stopped shortly after.

"Do you have to work today?" Ember asked after breaking the kiss.

Bayley shook her head. "Nope. Do you have to work?" While Ember shook her head, it occurred to Bayley that she didn't even know what Ember did for a living. Hopefully that didn't make her a bad girlfriend. "What do y-you do for work?"

"I work in a tattoo parlor across town."

"Really? But you don't have any tattoos."

Ember smiled and gestured toward her waist; Just above her pubic line, was a tribal band.

"Oh, I thought that was a birth mark," Bayley's face grew a dark shade of maroon when Ember burst out laughing. "Don't laugh at me."

Ember calmed down to a few weak giggles. "I'm sorry, hun, it's just so funny you say that."

Bayley rolled her eyes. She began tracing the tattoo with her fingertips; It was a typical tribal band that Bayley had seen dozens of before on people all over the city. She made eye contact with Ember; She was staring back, but her look was intense and full of fire.

"What?" Bayley was confused until Ember glanced at the hand that was moving across her tattoo. "Oh, am I b-bothering you?"

Ember slowly shook her head. "Not at all, babe," She closed her eyes and sighed.

All cylinders began clicking in Bayley's brain. "Oh, is this turning you on?" She giggled when Ember's eyes snapped open and glared into hers. "Hmmm." Bayley slowly slid her fingers further south on Ember's body. Giggling more at Ember's soft moans, Bayley gave her a quick kiss. "Hey, after this you wanna get some breakfast and maybe walk around for a bit? Maybe to a park?"

Ember smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that. I know a great place we can go to," She suddenly groaned as the smile left her face. "Oh, sweet Christmas."

Bayley giggled again. "Lie on your back," She quietly instructed. When Ember did as she was told, Bayley quickly took her position between her legs. "You're so pretty, baby." After a quick kiss to her girlfriend's lips, Bayley began a trail of soft pecks down her torso until her lips met Ember's tribal tattoo and she began her girlfriend duties with her lips.

Alexa was not happy. From her spot in the living room, she could see that Ember's car was still parked along the curb. That meant she spent the night last night with Bayley. Alexa's hands shook as she gripped her cup of coffee tighter. Bayley was still hers in her mind. Forget the cheating and drinking and obvious lack of trust in their relationship; Alexa and Bayley were meant to be together in Alexa's mind.

Just as her cup was about to shatter into a million pieces from her vice like grip, Alexa's mind lost its trail of thought when she heard someone's door open. She quickly realized it was Finn when she heard his chair roll into the living room.

"Mornin', Bliss," Finn greeted with a gentle smile. "Coffee still hot?"

Still facing the window, Alexa nodded her head. "Yeah, just came off."

"Good." Finn rolled into the kitchen. Life was good for Finn Balor. He was starting to get a hold on his anger issues, which made his relationship with Becky improve; Saraya had not contacted him since she lost the case; And Little Finn was starting to become more independent as he began crawling around and babbling in his own language more often. "Seven months old already," Finn muttered with a chuckle. "Whatcha lookin' at, Bliss?" He said loud enough so she could hear him.

"Ember's car is still here. Which means she spent the night with Bayley last night."

Finn chuckled. "Uh, they did a lot more than that."

Alexa spun on her heels to face Finn. "What are you talking about?"

"You couldn't hear them last night?" Finn shook his head. "You lucky soul."

Alexa's worst fears were coming true. Not only does Bayley have a new woman in her life, they are apparently getting serious with their relationship to the point of having sex. That both angered and saddened Alexa. It took her over a decade to get Bayley into bed with her, which made her agitated" for a different reason, and that meant Bayley was keen with moving on from their relationship.

"Was I really that bad of a girlfriend?" Alexa asked Finn.

Finn took a sip from his cup of coffee. "Well, between the drinking and cheating and lack of patience after her accident... Yeah, I'd say so."

Alexa glared her eyes. "At least I don't beat my girlfriend."

"You asked for the truth, and I gave it to ya. You don't like it, too bad."

Alexa rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I-" Just as she was going to lay into Finn, Bayley's bedroom door opened and she, along with Ember, emerged onto the loft. "Bayley, morning."

Bayley smiled warmly at her ex. "Good morning, Alexa. Uh, is it ok if Ember uses the shower? She can borrow my clothes, but she needs to use some of the soap."

"Yeah, of course," Finn said, ignoring the glare from Alexa. "Feel free to use what you need. Towels are in the closet."

Bayley took Ember's hand and led her to the bathroom. Much to Alexa's chagrin, Bayley followed her inside with the biggest smile she had ever seen her display.

Finn rolled back towards his room, boiling Alexa's blood with his mocking grin.

"Fine, everyone's moving on and doing stupid shit," Alexa stormed into the kitchen. "I can too." She popped open the cabinet under the sink she swore Bayley she'd never open again. But since she wasn't with her anymore, she didn't need to keep her promise. "Hello, old friend," She said to the large bottle of White Eagle in her hands.

With a smile, she uncapped the top and took a long pull of the bitter beverage. "God, I've missed you." She took another swig, feeling the buzz come back to her; It was a long time coming, in her opinion.
