Chapter 10

After dinner, Glinda led Elphaba to the bed where she gently laid her down. Elphaba pressed her lips to Glinda's, kissing her as if she would never kiss her again. As Glinda began undoing her dress, as she had done so many times before, Elphaba began kissing Glinda's neck, her cheek. She allowed Glinda to touch her, to look at her. Glinda ran her hands down Elphaba's beautiful green skin, planting kisses gently on the delicate green. Elphaba watched as she so lovingly paid attention to her body. No one had ever, nor would ever touch her or see her in this way. She wouldn't allow it. Glinda's hands slid down, either hand on Elphie's thighs. Glinda looked up momentarily, capturing Elphaba's dark eyes with her own green eyes. Elphaba nodded, knowing exactly what she wanted to do.

"Are you sure?" Glinda whispered, still looking at Elphaba, though her hand was gently rubbing circles closer to Elphie's clit.

Elphaba bit her lip and nodded. "Yes, I'm sure." She hissed, wanting Glinda to do what she did to her.

Glinda gave her one more questioning look and then gently placed her lips to the inside of Elphaba's thigh, just at her pleasure spot. Elphaba let a yelp escape her lips, as the contact both stung and satisfied. Glinda's head shot up, but Elphaba quickly pushed it back down. Glinda's lips returned to the spot she had just kissed and she sucked at it, gently massaging her next target. Elphaba couldn't contain the cries that rose from her lips. Her eyes burned, just as the sensation between her thighs was, and tears threatened to fall. But nothing hurt enough to stop this wild sensation running through her body.

Moments later Glinda was using her lips in ways which she had never used them before. Elphaba tangled her hands in the sheets beside her and pulled at them, calling out Glinda's name. It seemed like hours passed until she saw Glinda crawling towards her face, and before she knew it Glinda's lips were pressed to her own. She could taste herself on Glinda's lips. Glinda sat up and removed her top. She had shed clothes as she had gone, and now she was completely naked. She pressed her chest to Elphaba's chest, riding her hips up and down, Elphaba felt almost breathless by the bliss this brought on.

Once Glinda got her release, she sat up and felt herself pulsating. She looked down at Elphaba who was fiercely wiping away her tears. She happened to look down and caught a glance of the bruise she had left on the inside of Elphaba's thigh. Her eye's widened, but Elphaba's reassuring hand and voice made her feel it was fine. "It's okay." Elphaba smiled through her tears.

"Then what's wrong?" Glinda demanded, rolling over beside Elphaba and wrapping her arms around her.

"It's just…I've never…no one has ever…why do you love me?" Elphaba looked at Glinda.

"Because I do, Elphie. I can't explain it, but I feel we have this amazing connection. This is not just some adolescent relationship, this is serious. I love you Elphaba Thropp, I love you more than you'll ever know." Glinda pressed her lips to Elphaba's. She pulled away suddenly. "Wait." Glinda jumped out of the bed.

Elphaba's eyes came slowly open and she frowned. Where had Glinda gone? She noticed the naked blonde walking back towards her with something in her hands. Glinda jumped back on to the bed and held the box out in front of her.

"Do you remember how you said no one ever sent you anything? Remember, after your father sent Nessa those shoes and didn't send you anything?"

"How could I forget?" Elphaba's heart seemed to catch, skip a beat, stop. No one had ever done so much for her.

"Well I would have sent it, but really that would be silly, so I want to give it to you." Glinda slowly opened the green box to reveal the stone. It shown in the dimly lit room, first pink and then that iridescent emerald color.

Elphaba was speechless. "It's….it's beautiful." She sighed.

Glinda's attention was on the sparkling stone once again. "Yes, I know. Who said pink didn't go good with green?" She grinned and pulled it out of the box, wrapping it around Elphaba's neck and clasping it.

Elphaba reached up and touched the smooth stone, feeling it under her fingers. The tears returned and she leaned in to Glinda, who held her as she cried. She was being so damn candid.

Glinda stroked the beautiful green girl's long raven hair and rocked her back and fourth, not sure why she was crying. "I love you, Elphaba."

"I love you, too, Glinda." Elphaba looked up and the two kissed.

The next morning Elphaba got up early and went to get some food. As she walked down the foggy city road, for it was still very early and the earth was warming, she happened to glance at a park where it appeared a wedding was being sat up. She wondered if the happy young couple was as smitten as she and Glinda were. What a strange thought, Elphaba laughed. Though not so strange for she and Glinda were very head over heels in love, infatuated with one another.

Elphaba moved on and stepped in to a little café that was serving breakfast. She got several rolls, some fruit, milk, and some sugar covered delicacies, for Glinda had not been spoiled with desert for quite a while.

Then Elphaba went on. As she walked, she could feel the soar spot between her thighs. Though it was not painful, but pleasurable. She smiled, knowing the soar spot had been created by Glinda and so it held so much meaning and it would very likely stay with her for the rest of her life, and strangely she was content with that.

As she passed a little store, a stone in the window caught her eye. She paused to look at it, touching the necklace Glinda had given her the night before. She could see it shining in the store window. She wished she could get that ring for Glinda, but all her money was back at the hotel and it would very well wipe out all the money she did have left. But Glinda was worth it, perhaps she would purchase the ring later.

She pressed on, wanting to get back to the hotel to see Glinda. She wondered if she was awake. When she stepped in to the hotel room, she found Glinda still asleep on the large, green bed. It was so big that Elphaba could easily stretch out and still not touch Glinda. Despite the bed's largeness, they had still cuddled close the night before.

Elphaba sat out their breakfast and waited for Glinda to awake. They had much to do that day. Elphaba had to go to a local bureau to see if she could gain audience with the wizard.

To wake Glinda, Elphaba slipped in to the bed beside her and scooted closer so that she was merely inches away from Glinda's beautiful face. She watched as the blonde slept. It broke her heart so much to think what might happen if they were to ever have to part. She fought back the tears, for part of her tears the night before had come from thinking about what it would be like if Glinda wasn't in her life.

No longer able to think of not being with Glinda, she woke her so that she could talk with her; know that she was still there. She kissed her gently and that caused Glinda to mumble and begin to rouse from sleep. "Good morning beautiful." Elphaba stroked several strands of blonde hair behind Glinda's ear as she slowly opened her eyes, registering Elphaba's face. When she fully awoke, she threw her arms around Elphaba and hugged her tightly to her.

She pulled her back in to the bed and smiled. "I had a dream about you last night." Glinda smiled.

"Really?" Elphaba smiled. They kissed and Glinda nodded. "I got breakfast, we'd better eat and get going. I have to go talk to some people about getting in with the Wizard."

Glinda nodded and allowed Elphaba to pull her from the bed and lead her to the table. They ate, Glinda a bit groggy still, and then Elphaba cleaned the place up while Glinda took an hour to get ready. She tried to hurry, but her hurry seemed to take forever. When she finally emerged from the bathroom she was so breathtakingly beautiful that Elphaba felt as if she were a stranger in her own body. Why did this Gillikin love her?

Glinda kissed her.

Well, she did love her. Though Elphaba could not possibly fathom why. No one loved her, or had loved her, but now Glinda, this beautiful creature, loved her. Yes, she could easily accept that. And she loved Glinda more than she could ever know.

Elphaba kissed her back.

The next morning was not quite as pleasant, for Elphaba had had the most horrendous dream. Though when she awoke she could not completely remember it. Only the large, poignant parts.

She had dreamed that she was at a wedding, Glinda's wedding. She saw Glinda walking down the aisle, heading towards a rather handsome man standing at the front. Elphaba had watched and couldn't seem to interfere. Didn't Glinda love her?

She had awoken calling out Glinda's name.

Glinda had been awakened by this constant calling of her name and grabbed on to Elphaba, shaking her from her nightmare. "Elphie!" She cried until Elphaba bolted upright in the bed. "What is it?" Glinda had tears streaming down her face, though she did not know why.

"I…I had a dream you were getting married." Elphaba frowned.

"To who?" Glinda grimaced, her stomach churning at such a thing as her own wedding.

"Some man, he was very handsome, but…" Elphaba turned to face Glinda. Her hand slowly went to Glinda's face, wiping at the tears. They leaned in and kissed. "No, it was only a dream."

"Yes." Glinda nodded. She sure hoped it was only a dream. "What if Morrible sent you that dream?" Glinda thought suddenly, as the two leaned back in the bed, holding on to one another for dear life.

"I bet she did." Elphaba began thinking about it, and the more she did think about it, the more it made sense that Morrible would do that. She obviously knew the girls were together and by now she probably knew they had beaten the Grommetik. She was quick to know everything, and it amazed Elphaba that she had so much power. She knew she could not return to the school, but what other options were there? What about Glinda? She couldn't send her back to that school either, but what other choice did Glinda have. She had all her friends there, the rest of her schooling to be had, a life to be made. She couldn't survive on the streets like Elphaba possibly could…this was thinking too much. She was way too far ahead of herself. Perhaps the dream had stemmed from the wedding she had noticed the morning before.

"What do you think of weddings, Elphie?" Glinda asked, bringing Elphaba's attention back to the beautiful blonde beside her.

"I think they're beautiful."

"Me, too." Glinda nodded. "But what constitutes a marriage? I mean we could never…"

"But could we?" Elphaba turned to face the blonde. "Marriage should be between two people who love one another, and we love each other."

"Yes." Glinda smiled and stroked Elphaba's cheek. "But could we ever be married?"

"Well does it have to be ordained by a priest? Couldn't we just make a pact, or some sort of devotion to one another."

"I suppose." Glinda seemed rather confused, yet her interest piqued, for she longed to be with Elphaba in that way.

"I have an idea." Elphaba grinned, but then looked at Glinda. "You'll have to wait until tonight." She still had much to do.

Glinda frowned, she hated when Elphaba left her hanging.

TBC...:D Okay this is getting silly...but I think I have the rest of it planned out...:D. Yay! And now I'm going to leave you hanging just like Elphaba left Glinda hanging. :p
