A/N: First things first, thank you all for reading, following and reviewing! I really appreciate it so keep the reviews coming!
Now, it's time for an AMC reboot update! Prospect Park signed a deal with the Writers Guild of America so they should (I hope) be getting some decent scripts. I'm going to try and remain cautiously optimistic and not get too far ahead of myself about this. We've all been down this path once before. As the saying goes: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
In other news, sarChris2012 mentioned in a review that SG was pregnant, and she was right. (I'm not sure where she got the scoop, but good job!) SG confirmed it on Twitter and is due in May, and it looks like she's going to have a girl! There's still no word on whether or not her and/or CBL have been contacted about the reboot to my knowledge. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will be. Whatever happens with AMC 2.0, rest assured that Minx will be just fine here in Things Change. I'm a happy endings kind of girl. I may throw in some drama or angst from time to time, but the end result will always be a happy ending for our girls. You have my word on that!
Now, it's time to get back to my particular story and/or take on our favorite girls. One of my lovely reviewers, MinxTheMonkeyFan, mentioned in a review that they were missing the 'M' rated stuff. I have been a little lax on that. It takes me a little extra time to write those scenes, and I want to make sure they fit with the story. I also take to heart your comments and aim to please. Hopefully, this update lives up to the story rating. You've been given the obligatory warning. We're starting out this chapter the morning after Bianca and Marissa's night out in New York. That's enough out of me for now. Hope you enjoy this update!

Marissa woke up slowly, enjoying the feeling of her body being entwined with Bianca's. Lying in her lover's arms, she never felt safer, more content, more cherished, more loved. These were the feelings she experienced every morning and every night, and she reveled in them. Once she had taken that final step and admitted her feelings, she wondered what the hell took her so long and why she fought it, denied it. This was because she discovered that loving Bianca was the easiest thing she had ever done. It was as easy as breathing. Marissa knew she would never grow tired of loving and making love to this captivating woman. The redhead lifted her head and gazed at Bianca as she slept peacefully with a serene smile playing across her lips. The gentle rise and fall of Bianca's chest beckoned to Marissa, and the redhead rested her head over her love's heart. The strong and steady beat comforted her in more ways than she could ever count. After a few moments, the beat started to increase telling her that Bianca was waking up, and Marissa smiled as her own soon began to race in perfect rhythm with Bianca's. Memories of last night and the pre-dawn hours of this morning began to flood her senses and her arousal began to rise when she heard Bianca's breath catch. Marissa raised her head and greeted her lover with a dazzling smile.
"Good morning, Beautiful!"
Bianca shook her head slightly and motioned for Marissa to come closer.
The redhead, after briefly becoming lost in those warm and ever darkening chocolate eyes, grinned wickedly. Ever so slowly, she began to kiss every inch of Bianca who hummed with delight feeling those soft lips making a slow torturous path upwards. Marissa softly caressed Bianca as her lips continued their ascent finding that spot on her lover's neck that made her melt. Bianca moaned and pulled Marissa to her. The need to feel those lips against her own was overwhelming. Their lips finally collided in a slow sensual kiss that had both women moaning. When the need for air became too much to ignore, they reluctantly separated, breathless.
Bianca sighed happily as she brushed a lock of silken copper hair from her love's face. "Now, it's a good morning. You are by far and away the best alarm clock ever." Her voice husked and was thick with a mixture of sleep and desire.
Marissa laughed. "I'm very glad to hear that!"
The two gazed at each other, losing track of time before Bianca, wide awake now, found herself being distracted in the most pleasant of ways.
"Rissa, what are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything." Hazel eyes danced somewhere between feigned innocence and utter mischief as her hands roamed over Bianca's body.
"The hell you're not. You know exactly what you're doing."
"I really don't know what you're talking about." Marissa hands lovingly caressed velvety soft curves on a slow and maddening descent. Bianca was right. She knew exactly what she was doing and exactly what it was doing to Bianca. Soft moans escaped from the brunette as Marissa's lips began to roam along Bianca's jaw and again slowly making their way to her neck soon finding her pulse point causing a sharp intake of breath.
"Rissa." Bianca's breath was becoming ragged.
"Do you want me to stop?" Marissa smirked, her lips never leaving the sweet spot.
"Oh, dear god, no. Never." Bianca moaned.
Marissa's hands found their way to Bianca's breasts and thumbs began to slowly tease hardened nipples. The redhead's lips followed the trail her hands had blazed and her tongue soon replaced thumbs in the torturous teasing causing Bianca to loudly moan again. "Oh dear god!"
The throbbing ache between Bianca's legs intensified, and she pulled her lover closer. As Marissa continued to ravish Bianca's breasts, her hands slowly drifted lower, caressing each delicious curve of the brunette until one eased itself between her legs. As Marissa slid two fingers easily inside Bianca, the brunette moaned loudly as her hips bucked, and she pulled her lover up to her, capturing Marissa's lips for a searing kiss as a rhythm was soon set between them. Each thrust deeper than the next, hitting the spot that drove Bianca wild and carried her to a height of sheer rapture. "Oh god, Rissa." Marissa could feel Bianca tighten around her and applied more pressure. Bianca cried out as she was driven over the edge and completely unraveled as a wave of euphoria soon enveloped her.
Bianca's body went limp as her orgasm finally subsided. Her ragged breathing and racing heart slowly returned to their normal rhythms. Marissa gazed at her lover. She loved seeing the wild abandoned side of Bianca and loved the fact that she was the one who could reveal this side of her even more.
A soft chuckle escaped from Bianca as she opened her eyes and found Marissa gazing at her. The love shared between them clearly evident in their eyes. "I am never going to get tired of how you wake up in the mornings!"
Marissa grinned. "I aim to please!"
"And you more than succeed over and over again!" Bianca pulled Marissa closer and kissed her sweetly. The kiss soon deepened as their shared desire and passion escalated. A moan escaped from Marissa as Bianca shifted their positions and rolled on top of her, every inch of their bodies melding together perfectly. Bianca grinned mischievously. "My turn now. I mean it's only right that I return the favor." She crashed her lips to Marissa's. Her hands were everywhere, caressing every magnificent curve of her lover. Each one had been permanently etched onto her heart and soul, and Bianca would never tire of the response her touch elicited from Marissa. Every shiver, shudder, catch of her breath and moan drove the brunette onward, wanting to pleasure her lover and show her the love she felt for her.
Bianca's lips blazed a path down her lover's neck to her breasts. Marissa arched backwards as Bianca's tongue began to work its magic. Her fingers tangled in luscious brown locks, and the redhead clutched her lover tighter, pulling her closer and holding her in place, moaning. "Bianca. Oh god, please."
Waves of pure pleasure swept over Marissa as Bianca entered her and drove her higher and higher with each thrust. The redhead cried out as she tumbled over the edge and became completely undone, convulsing in exquisite ecstasy. Marissa's entire body went limp moments later. She hummed in utter bliss as Bianca kissed every inch of her body as she slowly made her way back up to Marissa's waiting lips. Bianca watched as her lover slowly recovered. She would never get enough of Marissa. It was just something that wasn't possible, something that didn't exist in the realm of possibilities. Marissa owned her heart just as much as Bianca owned the redhead's.
A radiant smile graced Marissa's face as she opened her eyes and was met by Bianca's. When her breathing finally returning to normal, she was able to speak. "I love you. I just have to say that you're pretty damn good with this morning routine too!"
"I love you too. You've made me really love mornings. I was never really a fan of them before you." Bianca grinned.
Marissa laughed. "I have to admit you're completely responsible for my outlook on them. You are so beautiful."
"And so are you."
Marissa stretched. "What time is it?"
Bianca turned her head and peered at the clock. "Wow. It's almost 10:00! I can't believe how late it is."
"I know. I guess the last time we were in bed this late was probably when we were here earlier this year."
"I think you're right. Having three kids doesn't really give us the opportunity to have many late mornings in bed." Bianca sighed.
Marissa smirked. "No, it sure doesn't. Speaking of our monsters, we should probably check on them."
"You're right. We should call Kendall's and see how they're doing. We also need to find out when we need to get to the airport. Depending on when that is, we could maybe spend a little more time in bed." Bianca suggested.
Marissa grinned and gave her a quick kiss. "Have I told you lately how much I love how you think? You call them, and I'll call room service and order us breakfast. We need to keep our strength up."
Each grabbed a robe, and while Marissa reached for the hotel phone, Bianca grabbed her cellphone.

"When are Mom and Rissa coming home today, Aunt Kendall?"
"Greenlee is arranging for our company jet to pick them up and fly them home this evening. Since Marissa helped us with something really big yesterday, we thought it was the least we could do so they could spend some extra time in the city. What do you think, Miranda?"
"I like it! Rissa helped you out a lot then?"
"Oh yeah, she really was a huge help. We couldn't have completed our deal without her. Your mom's right. Marissa is one heck of a good lawyer."
"What are we going to do today then, Aunt Kendall?" AJ asked.
"Well, I was thinking you could either beat Uncle Zach again in Mario Kart …"
"Hey, he didn't beat me by that much." Zach protested.
Kendall laughed and kissed her husband. "Uh yeah, I hate to break it to you but he did. AJ is the King of Mario Kart."
AJ giggled, loving his new title. "I like being a king!"
"Or we could go Christmas shopping for your Moms."
"Maybe we should go shopping and give Uncle Zach a break, AJ. He could use the time to practice. He really needs it." Miranda cracked.
Kendall snorted as the birthday twins high-fived each other, and the other kids started laughing.
Zach raised an eyebrow. "Wow. My own niece is talking smack to me. I'll show you." Zach jumped up and began chasing Miranda who was squealing. Soon, the other four kids were joining the melee.
Kendall barely managed to hear the phone ringing above the noise. "Good morning, Binx! You're calling kind of late, aren't you?"
"Good morning, Kendall. Yeah, I am, but I don't think you want details. What is going on there?"
"You're right. I don't need details. That's Greenlee's things. We're just a typical morning at the Slater's!" Kendall quipped. "Actually, Zach is tormenting the kids right now. There might have been some trash talking by Miranda about how badly AJ beat him last night in the video game tourney."
"Talking trash, huh?"
"Yep, and before you say anything, Zach brought it all on himself. He started it last night."
"That doesn't really surprise me."
Marissa sat next to Bianca on the bed. "What's going on?"
"Zach and the kids are giving each other a hard time." Bianca put the phone on speaker so she could hear the craziness happening back at the Slater's.
"Morning, Kendall."
"Morning, Red. AJ wiped the floor with him last night, and Miranda suggested Zach needed more time to practice." Kendall smirked.
Marissa snickered. "So basically, you're watching six kids."
"You got it!"
"How did everything go last night?" Bianca asked.
"We took care of everyone's homework and had dinner. Then, the video game tournament began. Zach kept egging AJ on telling him how he was going down. It ended up with the two of them going one on one against each other. Spike and Ian were firmly on Team Zach. Gabby was all behind her big brother, and I threw my support behind my nephew. Miranda didn't want to choose between her brother and her uncle so she decided to play peacemaker and be impartial. Remind you of anyone?"
Marissa laughed. "Hmmm, I think one particular person comes to mind."
Bianca rolled her eyes and sighed.
Kendall couldn't help the laugh escaping from her as she pictured her sister's reaction. "So little Binx, I mean Miranda, was the judge and there really couldn't have been a better one. Zach, however, decided to question her impartiality. I'm pretty sure he was joking. Miranda though gave him a look that pretty much said 'you seriously have the gall to question me about being impartial'. She then rolled her eyes and patiently told him that she loved them both and that her mothers had told her the importance of being fair and neutral in cases like this. She then said, and I quote. 'If I'm going to be as good of a lawyer as Rissa someday, then I need to start practicing that now.' Zach didn't have a response because seriously how do you respond to something like that? My oldest niece is something else and wise beyond her years. To be completely honest, her rulings were quite fair."
Marissa was speechless. A lopsided grin spread across her face.
Bianca kissed her cheek softly. "You're going to have to start sharing your law books sooner than you thought." The brunette directed her attention back to the phone. "Anything else we need to know about?"
"Your youngest could possibly have a career in comedy if she wants it. We took a small break in the action, kind of a halftime if you will. Gabby performed a mini stand-up routine. It's something I'm sure you're well aware of."
Marissa had recovered and chuckled at the quip. "Yes, we are. She's quite the entertainer."
"Let me get them. I know they're anxious to talk to you." Kendall activated the speakerphone and called to the children. "Is there anyone interested into talking to Bianca and Marissa?"
A chorus of 'I do' rang out. Zach brought the children over to his wife. AJ was slung over his shoulder, Miranda was carried under his other arm and Gabby clung to one of his legs. Kendall chuckled at the sight and snapped a quick picture with her nearby cellphone. Zach set the giggling children down. Kendall handed the phone to Miranda while AJ and Gabby crowded around. They excitedly told their mothers about last night.
Marissa's cellphone buzzed indicating an incoming text. "I better get that." She read the text as Bianca continued to listen to the kids happily rattling on.
"When are you and Mommy coming home, Mommy?"
Marissa answered having finished reading the text. "Well, Monkey, I just heard from Greenlee. Our flight doesn't leave here until 7:30 tonight so we won't be home until late."
Bianca heard the grumbles on the other end of the line. "I know. We'll have to go ice skating tomorrow. You know what else we can do tomorrow though?"
"What?
"Look for our Christmas tree. I'm thinking it's time for that."
That lightened the mood considerably.
"Cool! Can it be a big one, Bianca?"
"It's going to have to be a pretty good sized one, Buddy."
"Mom, Aunt Kendall wants to talk to you."
"Okay, Mimo. We'll see you guys later tonight. We love you."
"Love you too."
Kendall came back on the line. "Hey, I just heard from Greenlee. We can't get the plane there until later."
"Yeah, we know. I got a text from her. Are you okay with keeping the kids a little longer?" Marissa asked. Even though she knew the answer, neither she nor Bianca wanted Kendall to feel they were taking her for granted.
"It actually kind of works out with our plans."
Marissa heard a knock on the door and went to answer it.
"Your plans, huh? Care to enlighten us?" Bianca asked.
"Nope, you're just going to have to wait on that."
Bianca watched as room service removed the dishes from their dinner and replaced them with ones filled with their breakfast. A thick envelope was handed to Marissa as well. The server noted that it had just been received via a messenger for her. The redhead thanked the server, signed for breakfast and retrieved a tip for the girl.
As Marissa turned the envelope to open it and removed the documents inside, Bianca saw a familiar logo on the front of it.
"It looks like your contract just got here."
"That's great."
"Maybe for you, but I see Rissa going into lawyer mode. If we're going to do any shopping at all today, like for your Christmas present, I need to do something about that."
"Gotcha. We can review things when you get back here. See you later and have fun. Don't forget, big and sparkly!"
Bianca disconnected the call and smiled. Marissa had retrieved her glasses from her briefcase and was perched on the bed reviewing the documents. There was something about Marissa wearing those glasses and being in lawyer mode that thoroughly aroused Bianca. She checked the time. Since they weren't leaving until that evening and had arranged for a late check-out, there was more than enough time to enjoy their alone time more. I think it's time to get her attention. The brunette crossed the room and settled on the bed behind Marissa.
"Is that the Fusion contract?"
"Uh huh. I just want to review it before we get to back to Pine Valley." Marissa answered as her eyes never left the paper.
Bianca grinned and decided on her course of action. She brushed soft copper locks to the side and pressed her lips to Marissa's neck as her hands slid around the front and began the task of loosening the robe.
Hazel eyes closed on contact and Marissa tilted her head to grant better access as soft lips began trailing kisses along her neck.
Bianca smirked as Marissa pressed back into her. Her lover really was very easy to distract sometimes.
Marissa lost all interest in the contract as her brain short circuited when Bianca found that one spot behind her ear that made her absolutely powerless and demolished any resolve she had.
"Do you really need to read it right now?" Bianca's voice husked and dropped an octave, her desire and intentions clearly evident.
Marissa shuddered. She knew Bianca was attempting and succeeding quite nicely to distract her and pull her from her lawyer mode, and in that moment, Marissa really didn't give a damn. She discarded the document and turned around to gaze into darkening chocolate eyes. "I'll read it on the damn plane."
Bianca savored her victory as Marissa captured her lips for a searing kiss and pushed her back onto the bed.

Kendall pulled into a spot in the parking lot of the Pine Valley Mall. AJ, Miranda and Gabby climbed out of car and the four crossed into the building. Spike and Ian stayed home with Zach while Kendall took her nieces and nephew shopping. They discussed presents for their mothers last night and again this morning. They finally settled on what they thought would be the perfect gifts. Kendall was able to make an appointment at her favorite photographer's studio.
Before coming to the mall, the kids had a formal portrait taken. The photo was formal only in the respect that the photographer was a professional. He was excellent with the kids and was able to capture a number of natural poses that Kendall was positive both women would love. She ordered a large print to be framed and matted, making it a perfect Christmas present for the couple. She knew they would insist on it being hung above their fireplace. The other shots would be included in the presents from the kids.
Gabby held her aunt's hand tightly while AJ and Miranda stayed close by as they looked in the various stores.
The four looked at several digital picture frames. One in particular caught Miranda's eye.
"I like this one, Aunt Kendall. I think Mom and Rissa will too."
Kendall picked up the frame's box and read the details. It held a lot of photographs and was simple but elegant, pretty much like Bianca and Marissa. "I think you're right, Miranda. These will look perfect on their desks at work. What do you think, AJ?"
The boy grinned. "I think they'll like it too."
"Gabby?"
The little girl nodded. "Yep!"
"Alright then, let's see if we can find another one."
They searched the displays and found a second one. After inspecting the frames for any defects and checking the prices, they headed to the counter to pay for them. The kids had raided their piggy banks having carefully saved their allowances for just this purpose. Kendall held the money for them while they shopped. She removed the envelope containing the funds and handed it to Miranda. She smiled as they carefully counted out the amount needed. The cashier smiled as she took the money and returned the change to the beaming children who in turn handed it back to Kendall to hold onto for them. The pride in the fact that they had paid for their gifts all by themselves was written all over their faces. Kendall had offered to pay for them, but all three wanted to buy the frames themselves. They were so much like their mothers.
AJ carried the bag with their prized purchases as the group checked out a few more stores. A quick stop back at the Tasker-Montgomery home was made to retrieve some photos they would scan at Kendall's and load to the frames along with some that Kendall had of her own and others obtained from Erica and Krystal as well.
When they arrived back at the Slater home, the group got to work.
"Do you think they'll really like them, Aunt K?"
Kendall hugged her niece. "Miranda, they are going to love them because they are from the three of you. Now, let's get started and figure out which pictures you want to use."
/
Bianca and Marissa crossed 5th Avenue and headed down the street to Tiffany's. Their shopping was starting later than they had planned, but judging by the smiles on their faces, neither would be complaining, ever.
"Okay, we need to be at the airport by 6:30. I figure that gives us 5 good solid hours of shopping."
Bianca laughed. "Piece of cake!"
"Yeah, I thought you would say that. This is definitely one of the perks of having Erica as your mom. I am completely in awe of your shopping prowess."
"If there is one thing my Mom knows, it's shopping. The woman has a black belt in it and is a professional. I'm simply an amateur compared to her."
"Well amateur or not, I'm still in awe, and I'm not just talking about shopping." Marissa winked.
"You're pretty awe-inspiring yourself, Counselor." Bianca gave her a quick kiss as she opened the door to the store.
"So, Kendall wants something big and sparkly?"
"Yep, this is definitely the place to find that."
The couple spent some time there finding gifts for Erica, Kendall and Krystal. They also picked up something special for Greenlee. They wanted to let both Kendall and Greenlee know how much they appreciated all of the support they had given them over the past year. Several more stops were made along the route for Zach and Jack among others. They also picked up something for Adam. He had given them his support during the custody fight and agreed to step aside in AJ's best interest and give his consent to have Bianca be AJ's guardian. Before they knew it, they had made their through the list of family and friends they were buying gifts for. With the adults squared away as well as a few gifts for some of the smaller ones, they headed over to their final destination of FAO Schwartz. In addition to their three kids, they picked up gifts for Spike, Ian, Emma, Jenny and Kathy as well as Marissa's godson Jamie. A majority of their time was spent at the toy store, and they had a blast letting their inner child out.
They reviewed their list and found only one gift remaining for AJ, Miranda and Gabby. It was the one Bianca's friend Simon was working on for them. He had located exactly what they were looking for and was handling the final details for them.
Marissa checked the time. "Wow! I can't believe we finished and with time to spare! You're like a ninja shopper."
Bianca snorted. "A ninja shopper, huh? I like it! I'm thinking we should head to the airport now. We can check in and grab something to eat before we leave. I'm also thinking it might be a good idea for you to get off that knee. We've been doing a lot of walking these last two days, and no matter what you say, it's still healing."
Marissa simply shook her head and smiled. It would be pointless to argue with Bianca especially when she would be doing the same thing if their roles were reversed. "That sounds like a good plan. We can beat traffic and not be rushed too."
They hailed a taxi and headed back to the hotel to retrieve their luggage that the hotel manager was holding for them. With that accomplished, the couple headed to the airport and made their way to the counter for private planes. An airport porter took care of their bags while they cleared security. After their bags were checked, the couple headed for a restaurant to wait for their flight to be called.

Kendall and Miranda turned down the driveway to Minx Manor to return the photographs they had borrowed earlier for Marissa and Bianca's Christmas presents. AJ and Gabby stayed back with Zach and the boys. This gave the aunt and niece a little bonding time.
"I really think your Mom and Marissa are going to love their presents."
"I do too. Thanks for helping, Aunt K."
"You're welcome, Miranda. I'm always happy to help." She pulled the car to a stop in front of the house. The pair got out and walked inside. "We haven't had a chance to talk in a while. How are you doing? Any more problems at school?"
Miranda shook her head. "School's good, well for school, it is. Amber apologized to me and AJ. I really think she meant it and felt bad about those things she said. I kinda feel a little bad for her. I see her alone a lot at recess. She looks sad. I was thinking about maybe talking to her."
"You were, huh?"
"I've been thinking of maybe seeing if she'd want to sit with me at lunch sometime."
"Really?" Kendall had to admit she was a little in awe of her niece and her capacity to forgive. This was a girl who had gone out of her way to hurt her, and Miranda was thinking of reaching out to her. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised though. She is my sister's daughter.
"Uh huh, I talked with Mom and Rissa about it."
"What did they say?" I have a pretty good idea knowing the two of them.
"They wanted to talk to the school counselor about Amber to see what she thought and how she was doing in that class she has to take. After they did that, we talked again. They must've been okay with what she told them. They said I should do what I thought was best. They trust me and said I was a good judge of character. If I thought Amber changed, then maybe she did, but if she does anything to hurt me again, I needed to tell them right away. They both made me promise that last part."
Kendall studied her niece. "You're something else, you know that, Miranda? You're a really special person. I'm proud of you, and I know your Mom and Marissa are too."
Miranda smiled. "They told me that too. Rissa said I was just like Mom."
"You are just like your Mom. Marissa's very smart."
The girl smiled even more. "Uh huh, she really is."
"You really like Red, don't you?"
Miranda nodded. "I love Rissa a lot. She makes Mom really happy. She makes me and Gabby happy too. She's funny and listens to me. She always makes time to talk whenever any of us need to. It doesn't matter what she's doing. She always says nothing is more important to her than her family. Best of all, I know Rissa loves Mom and us and won't hurt or leave Mom or me and Gabby. She's not like the others."
Kendall smiled softly at her niece. "No, she isn't. Marissa loves you all very much and would do anything for you. I can't tell you how happy I am that all of you found each other and are happy." Feeling the need to lighten the mood slightly, Kendall playfully bumped her niece. "You are a good judge character. Okay, let's put these pictures back before they get back home. We don't want them to know what we're up to, do we?"
Miranda giggled. "Nope, it's gotta be a surprise for my Moms." The girl began to put the photo albums back in their designated spots. "I'm glad we came up with this idea."
Kendall caught what her niece had said and couldn't help but smile knowing that Miranda saw Marissa as her other Mom. "Oh, Miranda, if Amber hurts you again and says anything bad to you, make sure you let me know. I'll help Binx and Red kick her butt."
"I know you will, Aunt K." Miranda grinned.

The couple settled in their seats on the jet as the flight crew stowed their bags and readied for take-off.
"I'm really glad the Dynamic Duo arranged for us to use the jet. There's no way we would've gotten all of those bags on a regular flight." Marissa pulled out her glasses and the Macy's contract.
"It definitely comes in handy." Seeing Marissa put on her glasses, Bianca shifted in her seat to inch closer to the redhead. There was just something about seeing her lover in those glasses.
"What are you doing?"
"Just getting closer to you."
"Don't give me that innocent look. I have to review this contract before we get back home so stay on your side, you evil temptress." Marissa smirked.
Bianca scowled. "Party pooper."
"Sex fiend, not that I'm complaining about that at all." Marissa removed her glasses and chuckled. "It's these things, isn't it? What is it with you and seeing me in these glasses? I thought most people didn't make passes at girls who wear glasses."
"I'm not sure what it is. It's like your reaction to the Kane death glare. It just goes to show that we're not most people. As to my being a sex fiend, you don't have any room to talk." Bianca quipped.
"You're right. I don't. It's only with you though."
A lingering kiss was exchanged between the couple. When they separated, Marissa cleared her throat and put her glasses back on. "As much as I would love to continue this, I really need to review this before I go over it with them. I'll make it up to you later tonight. I'm thinking after a long day of shopping, a good soak or maybe some other form of activity in the Jacuzzi would do the trick."
Bianca smiled. She knew that Marissa wanted to make sure everything was covered and wanted to do a good job regarding this deal. She didn't want to let Kendall and Greenlee down. Bianca also knew that wasn't possible. "You promise?"
Marissa grinned. "I promise, and you know I never break my promises to you."
The brunette nodded and sighed contently. "I know. Get to work, Counselor." Bianca rested her head on Marissa's shoulder and closed her eyes.
/
"Bianca, it's time to wake up. We're getting ready to land."
The brunette opened her eyes and stretched. "I can't believe I fell asleep. Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
Marissa leaned in for a quick kiss. "Why would I? You looked so peaceful, so beautiful. I didn't have the heart to wake you up."
"Well, I'm definitely rested up for later." Bianca waggled her eyebrows.
"Sex fiend."
Bianca grinned. "It takes one to know one!"
Marissa snorted. "Guilty as charged."
"Besides, you love it, and you know it!"
"Hell yes, I do! Damn, I am one lucky woman!" Marissa grinned as she kissed Bianca.
