Surprise

Authors Note: I think you guys are going to like this chapter…this chapter contains F/F. you know what that means. Wink wink.

The air was clean and pure; the sky took to the color of the most beautiful shade of sky blue, as the water that stretched out into the distance was the cleanest and clearest water that Shalimar had ever seen. She watched the beautiful sparkle from the waters from her standing position on the front porch of her new home, as the sun shined its bright rays against the water.

Shalimar closed her eyes for a moment as she embraced the cool breeze that brought to her feral senses the beautiful sent of the nature all around her as she cleared her mind of all her troubles. Finally, sometime alone…time for this feral to be one with nature, no more surprises, no more frustration…just peace and quiet Shalimar thought to herself as she smiled at the idea of actual alone time, no one could pester her about worries or the future, she was safe to breath and live the way a feral like her should.

So Shalimar relaxed. For the next couple days, the only thoughts that where in her mind were the sweet and sometimes frustrating thoughts of Emma, and also the disturbing meaning of her nightmare. That dream…it's a sign I'm sure, maybe my subconscious playing a trick on me…or, maybe it's my future, my future with Emma. Shalimar thought to her self as she tried to dismiss the thousandth thought of Emma from her mind.

Shalimar perched herself next to the water side as she watched her reflection in the water, God why do I miss her so badly! Damn it! Shalimar thought to herself as she slashed at her image. The water rippled with the disturbance of its smooth peacefulness as Shalimar closed her eyes for a moment to clear her angered thoughts.

How ironic, I finally get a chance to be out in the wild and be alone with my thoughts and now all I can think about is Emma! Shalimar thought to her self as she couldn't help but reflect on the past few days' fantasies of Emma, brought on of course by the continuous repeat if the same dream. Maybe I should see her, maybe if I could just see her face again then maybe these dreams will go away…or maybe I can just give in and give this relationship a try-what am I thinking? The risks are to high I could risk our friendship…but if I don't take the risk, then I'll never really know how soft her skin is underneath her clothes. Shalimar debated with herself as her eyes wondered back to her reflection in the water.

Just as her eyes were focused on the water, the small form of green turtle with yellow and orange stripes on its arms and legs crawled onto the shore. "Hey little fella, what are you up to?" Shalimar asked as the turtle raised its small green head to look up to Shalimar. "Why are you all on your own, shouldn't you be out with your friends…or out with that cute little she-turtle over there?" Shalimar asked as she grinned at both her stupidity and the turtle's abrupt shake of its head in protest.

"Running away from love to eh? I know the feeling" Shalimar replied to the turtle as she smiled at the turtle's cute form, "I know this is stupid and I doubt you'd understand what I'm saying but…there's this girl, she's my best friend in the whole world, she's fallen in love with me it seems…and I think I've fallen for her too…but, I ran away from her and also my family because of this love thing, I'm not sure if loving her will be worth it…I don't know if it's worth loving a best friend when you risk your friendship for it. It would be wise not to be involved with a friend because when it ends you lose the friendship to. But then again, to love someone is to take risks, and I guess I'm not sure if I'm ready to take that risk."

Shalimar conversed with the apparently attentive turtle, when all of a sudden the slim form of a mysterious figure crept up behind the feral, and since Shalimar was to far in to her conversation with the turtle, she didn't notice the figure behind her.

"So what do you think Mr. Turtle? Should I give that beautiful woman a chance?" "Yes" came the voice of the mysterious women, as Shalimar jumped in surprise, her muscles tensed for a moment until she realized who exactly it was that was standing behind her. "Emma" Shalimar called out as she force her self to turn around and meet the Psionic face to face. The Look on Emma's face was hard to describe, it was a smile that Shalimar had never seen before on her best friend's face, it shocked her for a moment until she was brought back to reality by Emma's response, "It's been awhile, to long if you ask me".

"Adam told you where I was?" Shalimar asked as Emma shook her head, "No, I found where you were hiding by myself. I knew you were here the whole time." "What? I don't understand?" Shalimar replied with a look of confusing on her features, "silly feral…where's the turtle?" Emma asked as she nodded her head in the direction of the turtle. Shalimar who was even more confused by Emma's response, turned her attention back to the turtle to discover that the creature was gone, "What the? It was right here a second ago" Shalimar exclaimed.

Now standing beside the confused feral, Emma replied, "It was never there to begin with Shalimar" "What do you mean it was never there I saw it! For God sake I was talking to the damn thing before you showed-" Shalimar stopped for a moment as realization struck her. Holy shit! She's been messing with my head Shalimar thought before whipping her head to look Emma in the eye who was smiling back at her, "you were messing with my head!"

"Shalimar, I told you that I would do anything I could to get you to admit that you loved me-" "but I didn't say I loved you…I said that I had 'fallen' for you" interrupted Shalimar as Emma chuckled at the feral. "Same thing…after all, you did say the word love and I was indeed involved in that sentence" Emma replied as she eyed the feral proudly. Shalimar looked away for a moment as she chuckled at Emma's obviously great lengths she had taken to get her to admit to loving Emma.

"Is this real?" Shalimar asked as Emma couldn't help but chuckle again, "yes, this is all real...I just added a few things, like the turtle for example" Emma replied as Shalimar turned to face Emma, "and what else?" Shalimar asked as she frowned at Emma's strange smile, "This…" Emma stated as she forced her lips onto Shalimar in a searing kiss that almost knocked the feral off of her feet.

Emma broke away from the kiss long enough to add, "don't fight this Shalimar" before placing her lips back onto Shalimar's anticipating lips. They kissed for what seemed like hours before finally breaking away. "So I guess this means you're mine" Emma replied as Shalimar smiled at her, "hey, don't think I'm gunna let you have me so easily" Shalimar kidded as she ran from Emma.

Shalimar ran as fast as she could until she reached the door to her cabin, she waited for a moment for Emma to follow before opening the door and letting the Psionic enter her home. Just seconds after closing the door, Shalimar soon found her self pinned against the door trying to keep up with Emma's hungry kisses.

The kisses where hungry and demanding as hands roamed to find the places they dreamed of touching as Emma kept her feral contended against the door. Shalimar broke away from Emma first as she quickly went for Emma's neck instead as the Psionic tried to keep there balance by placing a shaky hand against the door. Shalimar continued to lick, kiss, and suck against Emma's pulse point, resulting in a few low moans from her lover, as her hands moved to take Emma's shirt off. In less then a minute the shirt was gone, leaving the Psionic with only her braw and pants on as Shalimar quickly turned the tables on the Psionic and had her pressed against the door.

Shalimar smiled evilly up at Emma as she moved down south to dip her tongue inside Emma's naval as her skilled hands undid Emma's pants. "Shalimar" Emma called as she watched the golden haired feral move to stand, "Emma" Shalimar replied as she kissed the Psionic deeply as Emma moved her hands to roam the flat powerful stomach of the feral.

The heat gathered in all one place as Shalimar and Emma kissed each other hungrily. Shalimar removed her shirt with the help of Emma as Emma quickly began to leave a trail of kisses across Shalimar chest as Shalimar moaned in approval. "Emma wait" Shalimar stated as Emma stopped at once, "What's wrong?" Emma asked as she slowly moved to undo Shalimar's pants as Shalimar tried to gather her breath. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry" Shalimar apologized as Emma suddenly moved to kiss her feral, "sorry about what?" Emma asked as Shalimar tried to get her next words out between kisses.

"I'm sorry…for being…a jerk…I definitely…definitely…wouldn't want…you to think…that you're…less then…perfect" Shalimar confessed just as Emma broke away from there kiss to smile at Shalimar happily. "You think I'm perfect…mmm I think I'm going to have to give you a reward" Emma replied as Shalimar grinned at the possibilities of what that would mean.

"Follow" Emma replied bluntly, as she grabbed onto Shalimar's hand and guided her towards Shalimar's bedroom.
