Chapter 55: Something New Part II
A/N: Short but heartfelt and already working on the next bit. Bunneh is going to San Fran on business for the next 2 days so I will need the distraction!
Olivia crept into the bedroom quietly, pulling off her pajamas as she walked over to the bed. She bit back a laugh when she saw that Natalia had wrapped herself up tightly in the blankets. Leaving nothing for her.
Sliding onto too cool sheets, she felt her skin prickle with goose-bumps. She inched forward until she was as close as she could possibly get. "Hey." She whispered.
The only response was a non-committal grunt.
"Can I have some blanket?"
Natalia sighed; pulling the comforter free and tossing it over the older woman.
Olivia smiled. "Thank you." She wrapped her arms around the younger woman's middle, holding her tightly. She had just started to dose off when she felt Natalia trying to move away. She frowned petulantly. "Where are you going?"
"It's time to get up." Natalia's voice was flat, and very carefully even.
"It's barely seven! On a Saturday! And Emma is at Susie's until tonight so... what's worth leaving right here for?"
The younger woman stilled for a moment and then turned around in her arms, staring into Olivia's eyes. "What was worth calling at six in the morning for?"
Olivia chuckled softly, dropping her face into the Latina's neck and kissing her lightly. "God, I love you."
"Olivia..."
"She slept with Blake."
Olivia tried not to smile at the absolute stillness that followed.
"Uhm..." Natalia blinked, her mouth opening and closing as she tried and rejected several different things she could say. Finally, she just cleared her throat. "I... seem to have missed a lot."
The older woman's eyes sparkled as she wrapped her legs around Natalia, locking her ankles behind a perfect, caramel colored ass, covered in the smallest boy shorts she had ever seen. "Yes, you have. But in your defense, you have been busy... what with all the sex... and the sex. And, oh yeah, the sex."
Natalia flushed. "I know what I've seen. And I know what you've told me. I guess I just didn't realize they were... there... yet."
"Where?"
"Olivia!" Natalia swallowed. "I don't want to talk about... that... right now."
"What?" Olivia smirked when the younger woman smacked her on the arm. "They... just caught on a little quicker than we did, that's all. But you know what?"
The brunette looked at her warily. "What?"
"Good or bad, happy or sad... I wouldn't trade a moment that it took us to get here."
Natalia buried her face in Olivia's neck as tears streamed down her cheeks. When she could breathe again, she whispered softly, "And there is no where worth leaving here for... not now, not ever."
Saturday 9:21 AM
"Ashlee?"
Amy took a breath, brushing stray locks of golden hair off the younger woman's forehead. "Ashlee?"
The blonde took a deep breath, But only tightened her arms, snuggling closer.
The redhead shifted, trying not to laugh as she gripped the blonde's shoulder gently. "Ashlee!"
Ashlee's eyes slowly fluttered open and the older woman lost herself in deep blue for a moment.
"Hmmm?"
Amy took a breath and cleared her throat. "As much as I love..." She waved her hands up and down their bodies; which were pressed so tightly together it was hard to breathe. "All of... this." She laughed. "There are... parts of me that have fallen asleep and... The tingling is a little counter productive?" She raised one eyebrow and looked at the blonde pointedly.
Ashlee blinked in confusion for a moment and then froze; suddenly realizing why her knee was so warm and cozy. She sat up quickly, earning a hiss from the older woman.
"I'm sorry!" Ashlee covered her mouth with her hands, trying to push herself up and only succeeding in making Amy whimper even more. "Can I do... anything?"
The redhead looked up at her. "What did you have in mind?"
"Well... uh..." Ashlee snapped her fingers. "When my leg falls asleep I always...uh... rub... it..." Her voice trailed off as Amy bit her lip to keep from smiling. "Oh... right." She backed away, pulling herself off the couch and moving slightly towards the door.
"Hey!" Amy grabbed her hand. "Relax. Two minutes and I'll be good as new."
The younger woman looked at her for a moment and then smiled. "You make a good mattress."
Amy snorted. "I'm going to forget you said that."
