For the third time in a week Korra woke up a little disoriented by having another person in bed with her. As she wiped the sleep from her eyes she looked at Asami's small frame big spooning Naga.
I could get used to this. Korra watched Asami's steady breathing before she finally drug herself out of the bed.
As she made her way to her bathroom to get ready for a run she heard Asami talk.
She made her way back to her bedroom to find Asami coming out of her sleep and Naga licking her face.
"Naga, come here." Korra quietly commanded.
"It's okay, I'm awake." Asami croaked in her morning voice. "This bed is so warm though, I don't want to get up. What time is it?"
Korra glanced at the alarm clock on her night stand.
"Quarter to five."
"Oh I better get up then." Asami groaned as she got out of bed.
"I'll start some coffee. Feel free to anything in the house, I'm gonna go get a few miles in this morning. What time do you think you are going to leave?" Korra asked changing into her running clothes.
Asami stopped and stared as Korra stripped down and pulled her sports bra on.
"I, uhhh…" Asami came to her senses. "I will probably take off about 5:30 it only took me about fifteen minutes to get here and I doubt there is any traffic this morning."
Korra smirked as she turned around and bent over to grab her shorts.
"Sounds good. I'll try to be back by then. I would like to say goodbye."
"You can always say good-bye now and if you make it back it we can say it again."
Korra leaned over her bed to Asami.
"Ok. I'll try to run quickly." Korra leaned in and pecked Asami on the lips quickly.
"Hey, that wasn't enough of a kiss."
"Sorry, in a hurry to get back here quickly. Naga, come."
With Naga in tow Korra was out the door.
Alone in Korra's apartment Asami made her way to the bathroom to get ready. She thankfully had some of her usual make-up in her bag. Since she had showered last night Asami decided to throw her hair in a bun for the day.
Taking a quick look at her phone and seeing she had some time before she had to leave Asami helped herself to some of the coffee Korra had made. As she drank her coffee Asami made her way back to Korra's desk area to look at more stuff she had on the wall. She happened to look at Korra's desk when she noticed the letter from Mako and what looked to be a reply letter from Korra.
Don't be nosey Asami. She thought to herself. But if you read his letter you'll have a better idea of what she is talking about. But if she wanted you to read it she would have shown you. Trust. She needs to trust someone and she can't trust you if you snoop.
Asami moved on from Korra's desk and made her way back to the bookshelves. Korra didn't seem to have too much of an organization method when it came to her books. One book could be on sport injury prevention and right next to it could be a biography. Korra did seem to however keep books in series together much to Asami's approval. It would be a shame to have those haphazardly placed.
Most of the titles Asami was a little surprised that Korra had either read or had thought was good reading at one point. Among those included were history books on all four nations as well as Air Nomad philosophy books. Asami thought back to Korra's interest in religions and many of these books started making more sense. Asami was amazed by the the sheer amount of these types of books Korra had. She then noticed a section that seemed to be more devoted to the Earth Kingdom.
Just as Asami was about to pull a book on women in Earth Kingdom society Korra opened the door.
"Great! I made it in time to see you off to work today," Korra grinned dropping her keys and Naga's leash off on the table by the door.
"Well look at that, you did." Asami glanced at her phone. "It's only 5:20, did you have a short run?"
"Oh Naga and I got in about four miles." Korra made her way to her couch ripping off her shirt and shoes as she flung herself down. "Oh, sorry habit." Korra said noticing Asami's surprise at Korra's quickness to undress in front of her.
"Oh no, your home. I just wasn't expecting that." Asami could feel her cheeks burn.
"Like what you see?" Korra smirked at Asami as she was clearly tensing her stomach to try to make her definition pop a bit more.
Asami could get used to playful Korra.
"I like what I see but not what I smell," Asami jested back. "You need to shower and I need to get to work. I'm going to take off, but thank you for a wonderful dinner. I'm sorry again I showed up so late."
"No worries," Korra got up from the couch making her way to Asami. "I would hug you but I don't want to get you all sweaty. So…" Korra grabbed Asami's hands and placed them to her lips. Korra quickly but sweetly kissed each one. "I hope this isn't the last evening we spend together, do it again sometime?" Korra asked hopefully.
"I think that sounds wonderful," Asami said. "It's my turn to take you out since you made dinner. How would you like dinner at Kwon's?"
"That fancy restaurant downtown? I'm not sure if I have any clothes for a place like that." Korra said reaching up to rub the back of her head.
"Oh, well tell you what. Head to Suki's in the main shopping district and find something there. Just let the person working that day that it goes onto my account."
Korra's eye bulged a little.
"Suki's? That place is super ritzy. I can't ask you to spend that kind of money on me, besides I would have no idea on what to get…" Korra said.
"Korra, please. Remember how we were talking about being important people last night? Well I still don't think I'm important but I do definitely enjoy the perks of someone who is. You can always take a friend or maybe your mom? And make it a day shopping on me for both of you, please I would love to do this."
Korra looked at Asami who seemed so sincere.
"Ok, I have been meaning to talk to my mom about some things and I'm sure she would love to help me go shopping. When do you want to have dinner then?"
"I should be free Saturday, if not I'll let you know. But I'm hoping we talk between then and now."
"Of course. Now get going you have important person stuff to do."
"Talk to you later, Korra."
"Bye Asami."
After Asami left Korra showered and made herself something to eat. She looked at the clock and noticed it was seven. She didn't have class until eight and she had finished everything that was due today before her dinner last night with Asami.
Korra took out her phone. Glad mom and dad have always been morning people.
Korra dialed the phone and waited for her mom to answer.
"Korra! Good morning sweetheart. I wasn't expecting a call from you this early today. Is everything alright?" Senna asked.
"Yeah, everything is actually going really great mom." Korra said. "I was hoping you were gonna be free Friday afternoon, I wanted to get dinner with you and dad but I wanted to spend the afternoon with you."
"Oh that sounds wonderful. I don't have anything going on and your father just motioned he was free for dinner too. Any reason in particular dear?"
"I just wanted to talk to you about some stuff."
Senna grew a little concerned.
"You know I'll always listen. Where and when would you like to meet"
"How does Suki's in the Yifu Walking Mall sound, maybe around 2?"
"Suki's?!" Senna exclaimed. "Why such an expensive store?"
"Well, that's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." Korra could feel her nerves building.
"Well it must be some story if we are going there."
"You have no idea, mom."
