Lena felt something amazing change in her, if even for a moment, when she wiped the pasta sauce from the corner of Sara's mouth as they giggled. Messy eating was definitely one of those things that just irked Lena, but she was just so...Sara. She couldn't help but find herself completely amused.

They spent the rest of their time at the restaurant sharing silly stories and laughing about anything and everything. It wasn't until the lights began to go out in other sections that they realized it was now almost 10 and the restaurant was empty, as they had closed. They almost forgot they'd taken care of the bill too! Embarrassed, Sara shyly suggested they go outside as they had clearly overstayed their welcome.

The night air was cool, but inviting, and the area was calm but something was off. It was maybe too quiet, especially considering the number of cars parked.

"Oh!" Lena exclaimed.

"What's wrong, what happened?" Sara asked.

"We totally missed that show tonight! It started a bit ago and there's almost no point in going in for just Act II..gosh! I am so stupid sometimes!! I am SO sorry, I know you were looking forward to it and now it's like I-"

"-shhh, stop it! How could you even say such things about yourself! I am having a good time and I am not disappointed, okay. The theatre will be there another day. I just want to spend time with you right now. Okay?"

Silence fell as they just looked at one another.

"Okay??" Sara repeated, more clearly.

"Okay," Lena said shyly as a blush crept up her chest.

Sara reached out for Lena's hand and gave it a firm squeeze, leading her to walk. They walked around the area together, Lena's arm wrapped in Sara's, in a comfortable silence as they listened to the sounds around them and the breathing of one another.

Once they found themselves in front of the building they'd begun, Sara stopped them and turned to face Lena and really look into her emerald eyes.

"Was there anything else you'd be interested in doing tonight?" Sara asked, maybe being too hopeful.

"Oh-I-I-I...I thought maybe it would be nice if you maybe wanted to come to my flat and maybe join me in my late-night wine and relaxation session maybe? It's totally appropriate for you to not want to for any reason really. I mean-"

"I would love to."

When they arrived it took Lena a few tries to get into her place, her hands were just so shaky and sweaty, but the third time ended up being the trick. Gosh, it would have been too awkward if Edward, the head of security, had to let her into her own place. Too much judgment, even if it would've been her own. Ugh!

When they entered Lena put her things away and stepped out of her shoes and let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"That painful, huh?" Sara remarked.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Lena waved off.

"Why wear them if you don't feel comfortable?"

"I guess I get so distracted with the way I present myself that I forget about me sometimes, you know…" She trailed off.

"So if even you forget about you, then who watches over you? Out for you? Who makes sure you're made a priority?"

Lena just hummed quizzically and moved to pour out wine.

"You know, I'm more of a scotch type-a-girl, if I'm being honest...got anything?" Sara asked.

"I have just the thing" Lena hummed lazily.

Somehow Lena managed to have Sara's favorite, which by the look on Sara's face said she hasn't had in much too long a time.

"Wow. A girl out for my heart!" Sara exclaimed thoughtlessly, too distracted by the thought of getting a sip.

Lena felt a little confused, but also intrigued.

They spent the next hour or so just chatting about their hobbies and thoughts on yoga and it all seemed to flow effortlessly. Lena was just buzzed at this point and Sara was just relaxed. It wasn't until Sara's thumb brushed hers that Lena realized how close they had gotten. She gasped slightly at the contact, but did her best to hide it and continue talking about how dangerous goat yoga actually could be. Sara caught on. Her curiosity got the best of her as she wondered how flustered she could actually get Lena, and see how close she could get. Sara waited a few minutes, then began lightly brushing Lena's forearm while holding eye contact.

Lena could feel her heartbeat everywhere. She had no idea what was going on in her body or why it was so intense, but she wanted to know how intense it could get. While still talking and stuttering a little, she glanced down at her arm and smiled slightly as her cheeks pinkened, and her eyes met Sara's again. They were like the ocean this time, even darker than before, holding a look she couldn't quite understand, but was intrigued by. Sara moved so they were now sitting with their knee and thigh touching on the couch, and Sara's hand was on Lena's knee as hers were in her lap. At this point, the words had ceased and they were just sitting in an intense silence. The glances given by Sara made Lena's chest and cheeks burn a brighter shade each time. Lena closed her eyes in an attempt to bring herself back together, but the light kiss on her lips foiled that. Her eyes shot open in surprise, but quickly landed themselves on the lips that were just touching hers. Her body subconsciously chased after those lips until Sara broke the silence asking

"will she do it?".

It was like Lena was lost in a trance, her body was moving without her telling it to. Her lips crashed into Sara's earning a surprised sigh as they melted into each other. Their kisses quickly became passionate and it was like Lena couldn't physically catch up as stopped being able to hold her moans back.

Sara felt a new fire lit inside her; like her whole body was on fire. With every moan elicited her desire to kiss every inch of the woman in front of her escalated. Her kisses began to travel to the raven's cheek and neck as she slowly pushed her down and whispered

"Is this okay?".

At first, she didn't get a response so she stopped, lifted herself off of Lena, and waited for her to make eye contact before repeating herself. Lena began to catch her breath and after a deep one whispered

"yes, please".

Sara beamed just before Lena found herself on Sara's lap fiercely kissing her lips with her dress now hiked up to just below her bum. Sara's traveled again to a sweet spot on the raven's neck that made her whimper and stayed there for a few long moments as her hands began exploring.

Feeling the slim of her waist and the swell of where her belly met her hips, up to the muscles of her back. Every inch felt carefully carved and special. Sara loved the feeling of her breath hitching when she ran her fingertips lightly down the expanse of Lena's back as it arched beautifully. She felt so honored to be witnessing this, like a painting come to life. Honestly, she wasn't even sure she could handle what she looked like under these clothes, though the thighs revealed to her made another pool of wetness begin in her mound.

" Can I take this off?"

Lena asked between puffs, tugging on the top parts of Sara's suit. Sara just moaned and nodded, meeting the still bright green eyes in front of her.

Lena got stuck on the last button, but with a little help, her trembling fingers removed the last part to reveal a black sports bra tightly hugging the muscular chest in front of her. Sara was more muscular than anyone she'd ever seen, she didn't even know what to say.

"Wow...I knew you were strong but...wow" she managed to say.

Sara just smirked as Lena began to ramble with nervousness.

"...and you're so small too..I mean you're absolutely tiny but-"

Sara raised an eyebrow and immediately cut Lena off by flipping her, pinning her down, and straddling her as she landed with a surprised squeak.

"What were you saying?" Sara asked with a flirty intimidating tone.

Lena couldn't speak, she just blinked in return.

Lena was sure she looked a mess but she almost couldn't care. She could feel her hair messed all over the couch, with her dress almost showing her panties, and her bra straps visible. She was sure she had a warm wet spot spreading between her thighs as well, but she'd never admit to it. She began to whimper and squirm under Sara's gaze, especially when she began running her hands up the inside of Lena's thigh then up to her chest, while studiously avoiding her nipples. She kept at this for a while until Lena's whimpers had turned into breathy moans.

"Sit up" Sara ordered.

Lena did as she was told.

Sara reached behind Lena and unzipped her dress, then ever so slowly lifted it over her shoulders, and dropped it on the floor. Sara placed a hand lightly just below the pulse point of Lena's neck and roughly pushed her on her back, which earned a low moan and a lip bite. She decided she was going to tease Lena just a bit more tonight so she began lightly stroking Lena from ear to toe, without touching anything still covered. Each time she got close to either Lena's breath would hitch and then she'd groan with disappointment when Sara didn't touch it. Lena began to grow a little impatient so she tried to undo her own bra, but Sara swatted her away and kissed her ear to whisper

"use your words, baby".

Lena's eyes began to water and she unpinned herself to move to the other side of the couch. Sara immediately sat up with concern, but kept her distance.

"I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to upset you. What can I do" she asked gently and sincerely.

"Please." Lena said wearily and Sara took the hint.

She quietly gathered her stuff and put her top back on and buttoned it on her way out, quietly closing the door behind her. She stayed by the door while she ordered an uber and her heart broke as she heard quiet sobs and sniffles behind her. When her ride arrived she took one last glance at Lena's building and sighed as she got in the car and was driven away.

"Please be okay" she whispered.
