Sunlight began to shine through the blinds of room 22 of Crage Hall. As Elphaba's eyes fluttered open, she was a little disoriented of her whereabouts. It took her a second to realize that she was in Galinda's bed. She laid in the bed beside her beautiful blonde friend, both of them in nothing but their undergarments. If it weren't for this current arrangement she would have been sure that last night was dream.
She looked over at Galinda's messy blonde curls spread out on the pillow and knew that none of this was a dream. It was real. It was the realest thing she had ever felt. She and Galinda had kissed. Elphaba smiled at the memory. They didn't actually have sex, but it was the most intimate situation she had ever been involved in. As she had said, she had imagined this but never thought it would ever happen. Her first kiss. She never had anybody who wanted to kiss her until now, the beautiful girl who she had the biggest crush on. Kissing and touching
Galinda was the most sensual thing she had ever experienced. Feeling Galinda touch her, feeling the gentle caresses from those delicate hands in places that no other hand but her own had touched was something different. It was a good different though. It felt amazing. It was true that she went on Ozgasm every now and then and pleasured herself often. But the real thing was totally different from just watching it and self pleasuring wasn't the same as actually doing it with someone who cared about her just as much as she did them.
Last night they both confessed (and demonstrated) their romantic feelings for one another. Galinda had said that she loved her. From the look on the blonde's face and all the vigorous kisses she received, Elphaba knew she meant it. The green girl had surprised herself by saying that she loves her too. She knew she meant it. She loved Galinda. So yes, they both loved each other but Elphaba still was sure what that meant. Where do they go from here? This had to make them more than just friends. Elphie wanted to be more than just friends. But at the same time she didn't know a thing about relationships and wasn't even sure if she was ready for one. Everything happened so fast last night. After Galinda had found out her secret, she thought
that would be it for their friendship, but it actually brought them closer, much closer. As embarrassing as that conversation was, she was glad it happened.
Although she still wasn't sure what do, Elphaba decided to put all of the confusing thoughts away for now. Still in her underwear, she untangled herself from the bed. She smiled at the sight of how innocent her roommate looked when she was asleep, and blushed when she noticed one of the blonde's breasts popping out from under the covers. She gently tucked all of Galinda's body parts back under the blanket and remembered how soft those beautiful breasts felt when she had squeezed them. She ran her hand over her own breasts and could almost feel Galinda's hand still caressing them.
She went to her wardrobe and put on a fresh nightgown. It was still early so she didn't bother getting dressed for the day just yet. It was Friday so she only had one class today, but it wasn't until noon. Galinda on the other hand had no classes today.
Elphaba brought her laptop over to her bed and got comfortable as she finished typing up her paper from last night. It was an hour and a half later when Galinda started to stir. When she woke up she looked over at Elphie who was already watching her. They exchanged shy smiles. Feeling a little modest, she went into the bathroom and grabbed her robe to put on.
"Hi Elphie." She smiled when she can out and sat on the end of Elphaba's bed.
"Hello Galinda" she said, returning the smile and setting her laptop aside. "Did you sleep well?"
"Oh yes. I slept very well, especially after last night's activities." She scooted closer to Elphaba. She brushed her raven hair behind her ear and caressed her cheek, silently seeking permission to kiss her. After a long gaze, the green girl closed the distance between their lips. They kissed long and slow.
"I really enjoyed being with you like that." Elphie said once they parted.
"Me too." Galinda initiated another kiss, then they snuggled quietly for a moment. The blonde looked up eventually and noticed Elphaba lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked. Elphaba snapped back to reality when she heard her voice.
"Oh nothing- I mean, well, something- I just...I'm a little confused is all."
"Confused? Is this about what we did?" Galinda suddenly worried that Elphie regretted what happened.
"It relates to last night. I just need to clarify something... Galinda, what are we?" Elphaba asked, a little nervously.
"What do you mean?"
"Well if I remember correctly, you said you loved me... And I love you...and we did some pretty intimate things together. I know we're friends but... Does this change what we are? What do we define ourselves after that?" Elphaba had difficulty trying to phrase what she wanted to say, but managed to get it out.
"Elphie first of all, you and I will be always be friends, best friends no matter what." Galinda felt the need to clarify that because it was true, even if their romantic relationship didn't work out.
"As for what we are now..." She continued. "I assume we would be girlfriends."
Elphaba smiled. "So we're like a couple now?"
"I would like to be. Is that okay?" Galinda asked. Elphaba leaned over to give Galinda another passionate kiss.
"Does that answer your question?"
"Loud and clear." The blonde said, almost breathless. She wrapped her arms around Elphaba and hugged her tight. "I'm so happy and excited! Elphie I love you so much and you love me back and now we're a couple! This is so wonderful!" She kissed her girlfriend enthusiastically.
"I just have a few concerns Galinda."
"What's concerning you my love?* Galinda asked. She was excited that they could start using endearing terms to refer to one another.
"I've never been in an actual relationship before. I'm not familiar with it. I just... I don't want to let you down." Elphaba explained.
"Elphie you could never let me down. Never. We'll figure this out together, it's okay babe."
"You're enjoying this aren't you?" Elphie said amused at the terms.
"Yes I am sweetheart." Galinda giggled. "But I'll tone it down just for the moment. "What are your other concerns?"
"I know being friends with me has already affected your social life in some way. But what will your friends think when they find out that you're dating the odd green girl...They don't even know you're gay."
Galinda hadn't even thought about her friends, or her family, or anyone really. Ever since last night the only person in her mind that mattered was Elphaba.
"You're right, they don't know. I haven't really thought much about that." she frowned slightly. "I guess maybe we could just keep it our little secret for now."
"That works for me. It's okay with you?"
"Yeah, we'll figure it more out later." Galinda said. "Right now I would like to kiss you senseless. May I?"
"Help yourself." Elphaba grinned
"Galinda can I tell you something? Although it might not be that surprising" Elphaba said when they parted.
"Go for it Elphie."
"You were my first kiss." she said shyly.
"Really?" Galinda said with a hint of surprise.
"You're actually surprised?"
"Just a little. I mean, you're very good at it for someone who claims to be inexperienced. There's no way you can be a kissing virgin and kiss like that." the blonde said with small laugh.
"I guess I must be a quick learner, and you're a very a good teacher." Elphaba chuckled.
"Would you like another lesson my A+ student?" Galinda giggled. Elphaba nodded and they spent a long amount of time kissing and caressing. Galinda started to unbutton Elphaba's nightgown. She slid her hand inside to feel those soft green mounds. Elphaba untied the blonde's robe and slide it down her shoulder and give her both of her beautiful breasts a generous kiss. They spent almost an hour exploring each other's bodies with kisses and gentle touches, until Elphaba pointed out that she needed to get ready. Galinda pouted.
"Sorry Galinda. I have a class soon, you know that." Elphaba said getting up from the bed. "What do you have going on today?"
"I'm supposed to meet Nara and Chloey in the library later so we can work on a project. Which reminds me, I need to text them to figure out what time." she reached for her phone. "Then Chloey is coming with me to the I.T. place to get my laptop fixed."
"You're finally getting it fixed?"
"Yes, finally. Although, I kind of like the fact that it was broken."
"You did not like it Galinda you were miserable. I remember you came home crying the day it crashed." Elphaba said.
"Okay I admit, it was a very terrible time. But there was a bright side. You do realize if my laptop had never crashed and you had never let me use yours, no of this would have ever happened. We wouldn't be girlfriends right now. And we wouldn't have just spent over an hour making out." Galinda explained. Elphaba hadn't thought about it that way. If it weren't for the fact that she had never signed out of her Ozgasm account, Galinda would have never known that she liked girls and they wouldn't be in this current situation.
"That is very true. Your broken laptop turned out to be quite a positive thing." she chuckled and kissed Galinda's forehead. "I'm going to go wash up. I'll be back." she started to head towards the bathroom.
"Mind if I join you?"
"Pardon?" Elphaba stopped.
"Come on, we're all girls here. It doesn't matter if we bathe together. I've pretty much seen you naked anyway." the blonde said.
"You have a point, and I don't use the shower anyway, so it will work."
"I've always been curious as to how you wash without water."
"I told you I use oils."
"Can you show me?"
"Come along." Elphaba extended her hand to Galinda and walked into the bathroom together. She opened the cabinet under the sink where all of her oil bottles were.
"These are my washing oils."
"Wow, where do you buy all of these?" Galinda asked.
"There is a store in that shopping center right outside campus. It's convenient for me because I can go there whenever I need to refresh my supply. I get discounts too, for being the most recurring customer. When I was younger my Nanny had a friend in Munchkinland who mixed them specially for me. That same friend informed her about the shop in Shiz so I can have them while I'm here." Elphaba explained.
"As you can see I have quite a variety of scents." she pulled the bottles out of the cabinet, reading the labels as she went along. "There's coconut, lavender, sandalwood, clove, vanilla, peppermint..."
She let Galinda open each one and sniff it.
"Mmmm, no wonder you always smell so good!" she said Elphaba chuckled.
"I'll allow you to do the honors and decide what I am going to smell like today." she chuckled. Galinda squealed with excitement. She had to smell each one over again. It was a tough decision, but she decided on vanilla.
"Excellent choice." Elphaba said as she grabbed fresh towels and washcloths off the shelf for both of them.
"Do you wash your hair with these too?" the blonde asked.
"Not with those. There's a special one I use for my hair. It keeps it very soft and moisturized. I can't use it too often though because it makes my hair really oily. But I use this everyday." Elphaba pulled another bottle out of the cabinet.
"It's a dry shampoo. You just spray it in. Works like a charm." She handed the spray bottle to Galinda so she could see it.
"Any more questions you have about my personal hygiene processes?" Elphaba asked, smiling at how fascinated her girlfriend was with all of this.
"Yes, one more. Do you brush your teeth?" she was very curious about this answer, considering there has only ever been one toothbrush in their bathroom, and that was her own.
"Of course I brush my teeth silly." Elphaba said.
"But how?" Galinda asked.
"Oh calm down you" Elphaba laughed as she reached for her last item under the cabinet.
"I don't brush them the way that you would assume, but of course I clean them. I use you misakwa twigs, which are a natural teeth cleaning twig. They work just as effectively as a traditional toothbrush and toothpaste."
"Twigs? I think I've heard of people using those. But only in Quadling Country." Galinda said.
"That's where they are most popular but they do grow in parts of Munchkinland as well."Unfortunately I ran out recently and I need my family send me some more."
"So what have you been doing? Your teeth are still always so perfect."
"I have this mouthwash that I use. It contains hydrogen peroxide which helps to kill bacteria, along with baking soda that helps promote whiteness. It's also minty fresh. I swish with this for 60 seconds then floss extra well. Between this and the misakwa twigs I've never had single cavity. I have never had a single cavity." she said proudly.
"Hm, I've had two cavities before. Maybe I should use some of that."
"You're more than welcome to." Elphaba said. "Anything else?"
"Nope, I think you've tamed my curiosity, for now at least." Galinda smiled. She shed her robe and undergarments and Elphaba did the same. The blonde turned on the shower and stepped in, while Elphaba went about washing herself with her warm vanilla oil.
Their shower curtain was clear so Elphaba had a great view of Galinda and Galinda had a great view of her. They were focussed on their washing, but occasionally took a few glances at each other. Elphaba was mesmerized at the sight of water flowing on Galinda's beautifully curved body and soap rising down her breasts to the blonde curls between her legs. The green girl realized she had been staring too long and looked away as her girlfriend washed her pelvic region. Galinda was fascinated by watching Elphie as well. They had never seen each other naked from the waist down. She took note of Elphie's black pubic hair and her small, but perfectly round backside. She inhaled sharply as the green girl raised her leg onto the closed toilet seat to wash her calves and ankles. Oz, she was so glad this beautiful girl was her girlfriend.
When Elphaba was done, she wrapped a towel around herself and sprayed her hair with the dry shampoo, then did her version of brushing her teeth. Galinda stepped out of the shower, glistening and wet. Once she was dry, with the exception of her hair, she gave her girlfriend a substantial kiss. Elphaba then went out into the main room to get dressed, while Galinda blow dried her hair and took care of other bathroom necessities.
Half an hour later, both girls were dressed and clean. Elphaba had everything she needed for class and Galinda had everything she needed for her group project.
"Galinda, I have about 45 minutes before class. I was wondering If maybe you'd like to come to the cafeteria to have a quick brunch with me?" Elphaba asked.
"Thats sounds good. I'm not meeting Chloey and Nara until after 1, and I need to eat."
"Cool." Elphie smiled. "And If you want, maybe we can have dinner tonight."
"I like that idea too!" Galinda bubbled. "But I'm not sure Chloey and I will be back from the I.T. place, I'll text you and let you know. You have cellphone, right?"
"Yes."
"Can I get your number?" Galinda asked, then laughed. "I think we did this wrong. Usually people exchange numbers before they started dating."
Elphie chuckled as she went to get her phone from her bag.
"Please don't laugh at my phone Galinda. It's very...old school. My father only gave it to me for emergencies since I'm so far away from home. I don't have much of a social life so my father, my Nanny, my sister and the Colwen Grounds staff are literally the only contacts I have." Elphaba said.
"Well now you can add your girlfriend as your fifth contact." Galinda smiled. "I won't laugh Elphie, I promise."
Elphaba pulled out her small silver flip phone and Galinda raised an eyebrow.
"See, you're judging me." Elphaba smirked.
"I am not judging you." Galinda protested. "Its okay. I realize I'm more spoiled than most kids. My parents got me the new Ozphone 6 right before I came to Shiz."
Elphaba shook her head, not surprised at all. They exchanged phone numbers and were soon ready to go to brunch.
"Do you have everything you need?" Galinda asked.
"Yes. Do you?"
"Nope. I need a kiss please."
Elphaba gave Galinda a long, soft, loving kiss.
"Now are you ready?" she smiled.
"Yes." Galinda giggled.
"Good. Let's go, my sweet." Elphaba said, holding the door for Galinda.
"Elphie you did it!"
"What did I do?"
"You called me something cute!" Galinda smiled broadly. "'My sweet' I like that!"
"Well it seemed appropriate. You're very sweet, especially to me." Elphaba said and kissed her forehead.
"Aww Elphie!" Galinda beamed.
