Chapter 25 – New Friends
"I've got it." Rita said holding up the DVD.
"About time!" Dixie laughed,
Rita stuck her tongue out at Dixie and went to put the DVD on,
"Right we've got popcorn, drinks, sweets, chocolate do we need anything else?" Rita said seriously.
Grace looked up from the popcorn bowl and shook her head; Connie looked over at Rita smiling.
"You've kept the shop in business Rita; I really don't think we need anything else." Connie replied.
Rita pressed play and sat next to Connie; Dixie was next to Grace sharing the popcorn and before the film started Dixie looked over to Connie.
"I hope you know what you're in for Connie, this one's crazy when she's watching this." Dixie pointed at Rita.
"When isn't she crazy?" Connie said back at Dixie and Rita scoffed.
It got to the Sandra Dee bit and Dixie looked at Rita, who looked back at her and with a nod and she stood up. Grace followed and Rita started dancing and singing around the living room, Dixie looked on with a grin and Connie well she did wonder for a second how her place had turned into a mad house. Rita whispered something to Grace and they both turned to face Connie, they walked up to her and Rita held her hand out.
"Come and dance." Rita said wiggling her eyebrows.
Connie shook her head with a sly smile.
"Please Mum?" Grace added.
Dixie joined the two of them and said,
"Yeah come on Connie, don't let us all down. I've never known the Mrs Beauchamp to back down from anything."
"Exactly." Rita said.
"I don't dance." Connie said.
Rita turned her puppy dog eyes on the same time as Grace did ad they both uttered the word.
"Please?"
Connie sighed whilst Rita smiled; Rita knew she had Connie right where she wanted her she wouldn't be able to say no to both hers and Grace's faces. Connie stood up and took Rita's hand and Rita spun her around and Connie chuckled.
"Your trouble you know that." Connie whispered in Rita's ear.
"You've only just figured that out now?" Rita whispered back.
Connie shook her head and put her arms around Rita's neck, she pulled her in and kissed her,
"I always knew you were trouble."
"Ew! I thought we were meant to be dancing." Grace said.
Dixie smirked seeing the softer side of Connie come out it was not something she had seen before but it was also incredibly sweet, Connie saw Dixie looking at them.
"I told you we'd get you up dancing Connie." Dixie said with a friendly smile.
"None of this is to be repeated at work, not a word." There was a warning tone but Connie also smiled at the end.
Connie went to sit down leaving Rita and Grace talking about which song they liked the most so far, Dixie took this as her chance to sit next to Connie.
"I am happy you know for the both of you, I'm so glad Rita's found somebody who loves her and I know she loves you."
Connie seemed a bit taken back from what Dixie said, they had got off on the wrong foot and here she was being nice to her.
"Thanks, I know it's never going to be simple being with Rita but I don't want simple and your right I do love her more than she knows."
"You should show this side of you at work, maybe then everyone wouldn't be scared of you."
"Never, I want them to be scared of me."
Dixie laughed and nodded,
"I get it, don't worry I'll play the part when were at work."
After the film ended Connie sent Grace up to bed and told her she would be up in a minute to say goodnight, it turned out to be a really good night. Grace was happy well she still hyper from all of the sweets and Rita didn't help the situation, spurring Grace on to dance and sing but still Connie was glad that the night had been a success. The most surprising factor for Connie was how nice Dixie was and that she was actually beginning to like her.
Dixie picked the empty bowls and Rita grabbed the cups they took them into the kitchen and Connie followed.
"Just leave them there, I'll sort them out." Connie said pointing to the side.
Dixie left them on the side; she made her way to the front door.
"I had a great night, thank you for inviting me round Connie."
"You're welcome here anytime."
Dixie smiled and so did Rita who was holding Connie's hand.
"See you later you crazy mare." Dixie said to Rita.
"Yeah yeah, see you later mate." Rita hugged Dixie and watched her drive away.
Rita turned to Connie and grinned, this was what she wanted she just wanted Connie to accept her friendship with Dixie and for the jealousy to go away and she had a feeling it had.
"Soooo."
"Yes, I can see myself and Dixie becoming friends."
Rita bounced over to Connie and wrapped her arms around her then she kissed her with as much passion as she had.
"I love you so much and thank you for tonight." Rita said.
Connie nodded, honestly words were not important not after the kiss that she had just received, she looked at Rita with love and that spark which Rita adored in her eyes. Connie picked Rita up resting her hands on Rita's thighs and Rita wrapped her legs around Connie. She bent down and kissed Connie, tongues battling for dominance as always when they let go heavy breaths mingled in the hallway. As much as Connie wanted well needed to carry this on she promised to say goodnight to Grace.
Rita carried on sucking and nipping at Connie's weak spot on her neck and Connie whined,
"Rita, stop please."
Rita stopped and got herself down she looked at Connie waiting for an explanation.
"Come on let's go tuck Grace in then we revisit this."
They both said goodnight to Grace and made their way into their bedroom. Connie was helping Rita undress she slowly took Rita's top off and kissed the top of her shoulders. Goosebumps appeared on Rita's body as Connie trailed her way down Rita's back. Connie undid Rita's bra and chucked it somewhere on the floor, she brought her hands from behind to the front of Rita's body and held her closely. There was something so sensual for Rita to feel Connie press into her back from behind, more so because Connie had taken her top and bra off too and the feel of Connie's breasts was enough to make Rita wet and she was. Every touch from Connie made Rita squirm,
"You make me go crazy." Rita breathed
"That is the plan." Connie whispered seductively
