Jill awoke to find herself tucked under the quilt, reaching out an arm blindly she felt for Alice only to have her hand hit the cold and slightly hard mattress. Sighing Jill rolled over to face the empty space where her lover should have been sleeping soundly or smiling down affectionately at her as she slept only to kiss her deeply once she was awake.
Rolling back over so that she lay on her back, Jill stared up at the yellowing ceiling.
"Fuck you Alice," Jill spat out in frustration, feeling slightly and hurt and used at Alice's 'fuck and run' behaviour.
"You can if you want babe but I have to admit I'm still pretty worn out from earlier, I don't think all this physical exertion agrees with my injuries," Alice strode into the room from the adjoining shower room, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her body and a cocky grin on her naturally striking features.
"Very funny Alice," Jill's defences shot up once more.
"Hey what's wrong? You were all over me earlier if I remember correctly," Alice's baffled expression said it all, she really didn't have a clue what was wrong with Jill, as far as she was concerned she had left the bed to have a shower, wanting to clean up her wound and not wanting to disturb Jill's blissful sleep. In fact Alice couldn't remember the last time she had seen Jill looking so at peace.
"Nothings wrong, I just…," Jill let the rest of the sentence hang in mid-air.
"Sure there isn't, just like there are no zombies running around the city and we're on 'Love Boat.'" Alice hit back sarcastically as she carefully climbed back on to the bed, beginning to feel slightly irked at Jill's rapid change in behaviour. Putting a hand comfortingly on Jill's stomach Alice used the other to push a stray lock of brunette hair behind her cute little ear.
"Ok I think we all know that you're running for 'Miss Sarcastic' of the year," Jill allowed a small smile to break creep out, one Alice didn't miss. "Alice I thought you'd left me, I thought…"
"You thought that I had slept with you then left afterwards, right?" Alice finished for her.
"Yeah," Jill said meekly feeling rather ashamed.
Alice couldn't help but laugh at Jill's vulnerability, even though she put on the tough cop front in front of everyone else.
"Alice, if you're going to laugh just go, leave me alone,"
"I'm sorry, it's just I wouldn't leave you. I mean how could I? I care about you deeply I thought I had shown you that already today. Jill I needed a shower, I didn't fancy the wound getting infected and I figured you wouldn't fancy me half as much either if I had yellow crap oozing out of my abs," Alice smiled warmly down at Jill, who smiled back in return.
Jill was about to reply but was instantly cut off by Alice's lips upon hers, her tongue caressing her bottom lip before Jill granted access for the two tongues to dance rhythmically. Alice's strong arms snaked their way around Jill's slender body to hold her tight against herself, allaying Jill's insecurities. Breaking apart momentarily Jill ran a hand through the older woman's still rather damp hair.
"By the way, you look hotter than hell with nothing but a towel on and wet hair," Jill commented seductively.
"You think so huh? Well for the record I always thought I looked better without it," Alice grinned back before recapturing her sweet, silky lips once more.
Jill was about to remove the towel which had now become an offending item as it was obstructing their passionate embrace from going any further, when a loud almost certainly masculine knocking was heard at the door.
"Crap! Whoever that is I'm to kick their ass so bad they will wish they had never knocked on that door," Jill's annoyance was obvious.
"Hey calm down its not like we cant finish this later, but right now you need to get dressed quick and answer the door," Alice instructed tearing herself away from Jill, although her body seemed drawn to it like a magnet.
"Ok, but what about you?" Jill asked curiously as she began to get out of bed.
"I'll say I've just had a shower," Alice winked, kissing Jill chastely before throwing Jill her clothes again. Making sure she was decent before heading back into the shower room.
"Carlos," Jill said not bothering to hide the irritation in her voice.
