Chapter 17
Catherine woke up to a sound of rustle. She looked around and saw Alexandra's back. She wore her bra and was putting on her shirt. This scene only was enough for Catherine to get turn on again. Alexandra turned around while buttoning her shirt. She looked at Catherine with a happy smile.
-Thought you will not wake up and decided to leave without saying goodbye.
-Sorry for ruining your plan.
-This way it is even better.
-What time is it?
-Almost 11 pm.
Catherine's brows lifted. She did not expect it to be so late. It was like only an hour ago Alexandra came to her house.
-It was a great evening.
Alexandra broke the silence. Catherine smiled.
-It was.
Alexandra came closer to her and bent over. She kissed her forehead by just putting her lips on it tenderly. Catherine felt all the warmness of her lips. She liked it.
-Thank you, Catherine. See you later.
-Bye.
It was only thing Catherine could throw through her lips.
Alexandra left. Catherine laid back on her bed. She was thinking about the night, about the great sex she just had. She did not have something like that for a long time. In fact, when was the last time she had this kind of good sex?
Here it almost banged her in the head. Jackie. It was Jackie she had sex the last time. Wow. Maybe that was the reason why she hesitated to make the first move. She felt ashamed. All her satisfaction was forgotten. Now, she was thinking about Jackie only. Why? Probably Jackie already has a partner or hangs out with other people. It is not like she is going to wait for her or something. But what if Jackie really is waiting for her. Maybe she does not go out with other people because she thinks about her as Catherine thinks about her.
Catherine continued to think and slowly closed her eyes after devastating herself into sleep.
In the morning, Catherine had a shower and checked herself in the mirror. She had a bruise on a spot where her neck connected her shoulder. She looked at it and laughed. She needed to cover it. She stopped her choice on a silk scarf that was supposed to help her that day.
After parking her car, she headed to the class. On the way to the lecture hall, someone pulled her shoulder.
-Hey, beauty...
-What the hell?
Alexandra was shining and her wide smile softened Catherine.
-Sorry for scaring you. I wanted to ask how you are doing.
-Fine, thanks. You?
Catherine felt a little uncomfortable. She did not want to discuss intimate stuff right now.
-Nice scarf. I never thought of you as a scarf person.
-Well, I am not.
Catherine smiled but Alexandra was confused. Catherine decided to use this against her.
-What is wrong with you? Are you deliberately putting hickeys or are you an amateur?
Alexandra flashed an "oops" face.
-I'm sorry. I don't know how I am doing it. It is something I could not learn to control.
-Well, train yourself. I can't walk with scarfs all the time. Moreover, the summer is coming.
-I'll try.
Alexandra smiled shyly. They began walking together.
-You know, I look forward to the next time.
Catherine looked at her with a stern face. As soon as she saw Alexandra's innocent look at her, her heart melted.
-Are you a needy person? If yes, we are going to have problems.
-I am not needy. The last night was amazing. I can't take it out of my head.
They both stopped for a while. Looked at each other and Catherine thought that Alexandra is perhaps more sincere than she is. Catherine felt responsibility for her. Maybe the first time, in her life, she was OK in putting someone else's feelings forward.
-That night was amazing. You are also amazing. But let's talk about it later, OK?
-Alright.
They walked a bit and Catherine headed to the lecture hall after saying, "see you" to Alexandra. However, she did not rush to enter the hall. She stopped at the entrance and looked at Alexandra moving away.
