Chapter 26: Where Everybody Knows Your Name
"Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came."
Editor's Note:
This chapter contains slight amounts of "noise" making. Unless you want to figure out what I mean by "noise", don't read this chapter.
"Why don't you just try it on?" Kay pointed over to a bikini thrown across the bathtub wall.
"Because it's not fit for someone of my stature to wear such a thing."
"I thought you stopped acting ladylike around me," Kay teased.
"Doesn't mean I won't try when I can. Why do you want me to put it on anyway?"
"So I can get a nice picture, and maybe, you'll like wearing it."
Darjeeling sighed, not wanting to cause an argument. "Would you get it for me then?"
"As you wish, angel." Kay sat up and picked it up off the tub wall, before bringing it back and plopping it in Darjeeling's lap.
"Could you give me some privacy then?"
"Is this because someone is already wet?" Kay teased again.
"Just let me be for a few minutes."
"You can come in now." Kay opened the door, amazed by the sight in front of her. Darjeeling had done as she asked, putting on the bikini while also letting her hair down.
"Wow, you look-." Kay paused, unable to come up with a powerful enough word.
"Stunning?"
"Yes! You look absolutely stunning in that." Kay ran to Darjeeling, nearly toppling the girl over in a hug. "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror yet?" Darjeeling turned around, facing the large mirror used most often to fix up her hair.
Kay's bikini idea was the exact same one from their little beach trip, the stars shining in the light from a nearby window. Kay brought her hand up, showing Darjeeling her movement in the bikini. However Darjeeling was worrying about a more pressing issue.
"Are you sure this thing works?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"It makes my bust look massive in the mirror."
"I think it's just because every other one you use hides it's true potential."
Kay made her way to Darjeeling's back, putting her head on Darjeeling's shoulders as they looked into the mirror. Kay brought her hands up, dancing her fingers across Darjeeling's tits. "A perfect bikini for the perfect woman in my life," Kay whispered. Darjeeling turned a light pink and turned around, putting her arms around Kay's neck.
"I'll only wear it around you. I don't want others to see me in this but if it's what you like…" Darjeeling ram a finger down the front of Kay's chest. "…I'll gladly keep it on."
"Oh really?"
"Didn't you want to take some pictures or something? Of me being your little sweetheart?"
"Right. Could you try to look as annoyed as possible by wearing this?" Kay brought her phone out as Darjeeling worked on her face. It was a mixture of anger and pouting, as if she was trying to hide how much she enjoyed it. "Perfect." Kay took the photo, making sure it came out how she wanted. "Could you try one a bit more…"
"Scandalous?"
"Would you do that for me?"
"If it makes you happy." Darjeeling reached behind, slowly untying one of the straps, leaving one side of the top flopping down, revealing a hard nipple.
"Is someone having more fun than they should with this?"
"When I'm done you can do whatever you want to me. We can spend all night having fun if you want to." Darjeeling reached down, and slowly letting one side of the bottom become loose. While it didn't reveal anything, it was damn sure sexy to Kay.
"If you dressed like this every day, we would have a way noisier relationship."
"Are you sure?" Darjeeling brought a finger to her lip, trying to seduce Kay. She leaned forward, letting Kay get a good look at her bust as she squeezed them. "Oh my you really want this don't you. You want to bury your head deep between these two. To hear my moans as you suck on my nipples."
"Bingo." Kay quickly snapped her photo, before grabbing Darjeeling's arm and lead her to the bed. "Who knew you could be so hot and smutty?"
"Does Kay want a cup of hot tea?"
"Yes, ma'am. I would love a nice warm cup of tea." Kay brought her hands up, rubbing her thumb over Darjeeling's exposed nipple.
"Then take a sip." Kay felt Darjeeling's hands in her hair and before she knew it, she was headfirst in between her lover's pillowy tits, feeling a pair of fingers rubbing inside of her.
"You're really going to spend all day flipping burgers?"
Darjeeling looked across the pool at a Kay trying to keep busy. "What's wrong with me cooking for everyone?" Kay took her apron off, setting it on a nearby table.
The sun was surprisingly warm today, after the heavy rain from the night before.
"Are you going to take that off?" Kay pointed at Darjeeling's green outfit, completely covering her up to the neck.
"Only if you want me to." Darjeeling unzipped the front, revealing a white swimsuit with frilly edges. Her sunglasses managed to bounce sunlight off her head as she swiveled around, showing Kay all she wanted.
Kay quickly noticed something glinting in the sunlight as Darjeeling finished her twirl. "Are those my dog tags?"
"Oh, these?" Darjeeling lifted them off the top of her chest, giving Kay a good look at them. "You gave them to me last night. Saying something about how hot I'd look in a swimsuit and your tags."
"Interesting. Either way I still need to cook these."
Darjeeling walked over, putting her arms around Kay's waist as she added more patties to the grill.
"What are we going to do once this is all over?" Darjeeling broke the silence with a question Kay was too afraid to answer.
"What do you mean?"
"Like our job ends in a few weeks. What are we going to do then? We no longer have an excuse to be together."
"I don't want to think about that right now. I'm sorry it's just that I'm not sure I can live without you anymore. You somehow always make my day better, but soon we'll get torn apart."
"Couldn't there be a way for us to just stay together?"
"You want to live together?"
"W-well, if it's alright with you then maybe."
"But who would we stay at? And besides, we still have to finish out the school year."
"I mean we're both 3rd years right? Can't we just figure out a way to end the year early?"
"And then what would we do?"
"Well, would you want to do more naughty things?" Kay felt Darjeeling rubbing up against her.
"Is that really the only reason why?"
"Well I'm worried I might hurt myself if you aren't around. I depend on you more than you realize."
"You would hurt yourself if I wasn't around?"
"Well, you just seem to be able to bring me out of anything. The way you're able to make my day just by giving me that classic smile."
"Interesting. Well at least I know I make your life better. When should people start showing up again?"
"About 20 minutes?"
"Could you go set the table over there, angel?" Kay gave Darjeeling a light kiss on the cheek before returning to her grilling.
The stars danced above the two of them as they sat, feeling the cool water around their ankles. Other than Rosehip being rowdy for a few minutes, the party went off without a hitch, allowing them to watch how much their friend group had changed since February.
"Wasn't today fun?" Darjeeling looked over at Kay, who was seemingly stuck in a deep thought while she stared at the water. "Are you alright there, pie?" Darjeeling brought her hand up, setting it down on Kay's shoulder. Kay suddenly snapped out of it, briefly forgetting where she was.
"What was the question again?"
"Well now I think the more pressing issue is you rather than my question. Please tell me Kay. Do you feel sickly?"
"What? No, I feel just fine. I'm just stuck having to deal with issues from earlier."
"What issues?"
"Well when you talked about how much you wanted to stay with me after high school, it kinda flipped a switch in my brain. I don't want to see you get hurt, but I also don't want you to lose your education just to keep around me."
"I get it. You can go wherever you want to. I'm sure that I'll be able to keep a hold of-." Darjeeling was cut off by Kay suddenly hugging her tightly, feeling her body spasm as she cried. "Kay, what's wrong?"
"I'm afraid of you cutting yourself or permanently disabling something. Or even worse…" Kay's face turns pale, too scared to admit her thoughts.
"What do you mean even worse?"
"I mean you could… end up doing something even more permanent."
"And that is?"
"I'm scared that you're going to commit suicide!" Kay screamed, increasing the number of tears rolling down her face, as if it was a waterfall.
"Now, now." Darjeeling ran her fingers through Kay's hair. As much as she wanted to tell Kay that everything was going to be alright, she wouldn't be able to back up what she would tell. A moment of awkward silence followed, only broken by Kay's occasional sobbing as Darjeeling kept her close. Darjeeling finally bit the bullet, not wanting to leave Kay feeling left alone. "Everything is going to be fine alright?" "What a damn cliché I am."
"How am I supposed to know you're telling the truth? How do I know I'm not going to wake up one morning to you hanging from the ceiling?"
"Kay would you just stop with that?"
"See, I knew you hated me. You only kept me around so you could watch me try to be a nice person." Kay quickly stood up, and stormed back into the apartment. Darjeeling was left confused, and more importantly, extremely lonely. After a few second to gather herself, she made her way inside and back up to the bedroom. She slowly opened the door a crack, seeing Kay crying into a pillow on the bed. Darjeeling gently stepped in, before putting her hand on the back of Kay's thigh.
"Could we just talk about it?"
"So you can just tell me that this was all because you were bored or that you had no better option at the time?"
"No. Would you just let me explain."
"You're just going to laugh at me. Tell me that all this was some sick prank and that you were dating someone else the whole time. If you say you were dating Nishi this during all of this I'm going to have a serious problem. You know what, just leave. I don't want to see you again."
"Would you just shut the fuck up and listen to me!" Darjeeling almost fell backwards, stunned by the words that had escaped her mouth during the fit of rage that had boiled up inside.
"So now I see how it is. Come on, I'll lead you out the front door now." Kay rolled over, preparing to sit up and drag Darjeeling out of her apartment.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Yes. Yes, you are. Now get off my damn bed already." Kay kicked at Darjeeling but missed.
"I guess I'll just have to use my own force then." Darjeeling leaped forward, landing smack dab in between Kay's breasts. The smell of burgers and sweat was intoxicating, as Darjeeling quickly made sure to fully pin down Kay to the bed.
"This is sexual assault you know. I could call the police right now if I wanted to."
"But you're not going to do that. I'm going to make you mine whether you believe in me or not." Darjeeling dragged her tongue up Kay's chest and neck to her chin. The intoxicating smell turned into an intoxicating taste as Darjeeling finally reached her destination. She effortlessly gave Kay a passionate kiss, going so long that Kay started panicking about breathing.
"Alright, you've had your way. Now leave my residence."
"Nope. I'm going to stay here until you realize that I love you."
"So I have to deal with someone who hates me for the rest of my life?"
"When will you realize I'm not lying to you!"
"Never."
"You're the first girl I've had interest in though. You're the first person I've dated that felt actually cared for me. So could we just let this go?"
"No. You're just trying to trick me again." Darjeeling had enough, taking matters into her own hands. She brought one hand out and slapped Kay across the face.
"When will you understand!" Darjeeling slapped her again. "When will you truly love me!" Another slap. "When will you just-." Darjeeling collapsed, a sobbing mess against Kay as she regretted her actions. Darjeeling felt a hand running against her head, Kay trying to sooth the crying blonde.
"I'm sorry I was so stubborn, angel. I should have believed you the first time."
"Are you hurt?"
"No, I think I'm fine."
"Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Of course you can." Darjeeling rolled over, snuggling in beside Kay underneath the sheets. "Could you maybe, hold me tonight like you used to?"
"If it makes you feel safer, sure." Darjeeling shifted, letting Kay get an easy grasp around her waist. "Goodnight, angel." Kay turned the light off, soon falling asleep holding the girl she loved most, purring just like Kay wanted.
