Chapter 4
Busted
Only a fool would try to stop true love…
The bright yellow sun shone over Heatherfield and far below this golden orb of light lies the small Chinese restaurant 'Silver Dragon' On the second floor in a room were the sun streams in onto a bed, a young woman is awake, watching the another girl who is sleeping besides her. Taranee had been awake for at least an hour and she had just laid there, looking at her beloved girlfriend, Hay Lin. Taranee hadn't noticed that she had spent an hour just watching her sleep. If she had she wouldn't have cared. Taranee laid on her side and with one hand she held up her head. She had a dreamy look in her eyes as she looked at the Chinese girl. Her chest was slowly rising and falling with every breath and her face beamed with happiness. Taranee was a little amused with Hay Lin's dreams about her.
'I didn't know that Hay Lin was such a dirty little girl' she thought with a smile.
Hay Lin then slowly awoke with a big yawn. She stretched her arms and legs and slowly, she opened her eyes.
"Good morning, honey" whispered Taranee softly as she stroked a strand of hair out of the girls face.
"So it wasn't a dream?" Hay Lin murmured tired as she blinked her sleepy eyes to get used to the sunlight.
"No" whispered Taranee as she slowly shook her head.
"I don't believe you" Hay Lin murmured.
Taranee bent over the girl and kissed her deep and passionate.
"Believe me now?" Taranee asked.
Hay Lin nodded. She looked around.
"What's the time?" she asked.
Taranee turned her head to look at the clock on the wall by the door.
"Eleven in the morning" she whispered as a reply.
"How long have you been awake?"
"Since ten"
"Why didn't you wake me up or got to school?"
"I didn't want to. I wanted to stay here with you and see what you would do to me, you dirty minded little girl"
"You saw that?" Hay Lin asked with a deep reddish blush that spread down her neck.
"Yes"
"Everything?"
"Everything"
Hay Lin blushed even more at the thought that Taranee knew what dirty little things she wanted to do to her.
"And you know, I found some of the ideas interesting" Taranee whispered into Hay Lin's ear then she kissed her on the lips again.
Hay Lin giggled and responded to the kiss and returned another kiss. They laid there for several minutes kissing each other. They blocked out everything else so they didn't hear the knock on the door. It was Hay Lin's mother, Joan Lin, who was wondering when Hay Lin would get out of bed to go to school. She only heard giggles inside the room and Curiosity took the best of her so she opened the door.
"Hay Lin? When are you goi-" Joan Lin cut herself of as Taranee and Hay Lin hid under the bedcovers.
To late had Taranee and Hay Lin stopped kissing so Joan Lin had seen it all. Both Taranee and Hay Lin peeked out over the cover they hid under when Joan Lin came into the room. Their eyes were filled with fear and Hay Lin even pressed closed to Taranee when she saw her mother. Mrs. Lin was dumbstruck by the sight of her daughter kissing another girl and wasn't able to say anything. She slowly sat down on the floor by the bed. She then saw the beautiful ring her daughter had on her right hand ring finger.
"Did…"
Mrs. Lin's voice barely held together. She tried again.
"Did Taranee give you that ring?" she asked them both.
Her question was only just above a whisper.
"Y-y-yes I did" Taranee stuttered.
"Do you love each other or…" Joan Lin's voice trailed of.
Taranee looked at Hay Lin and smiled as she squeezed her hand. This smile gave Hay Lin so much courage.
"We love each other, mom. Very, very much"
This fact gave Mrs. Lin some comfort and she slowly nodded.
"How long has this been going on?" she asked.
"We have both loved each other for a very long time" said Taranee.
"But it wasn't until yesterday night Taranee confessed to me that she loved me" Hay Lin's face beamed and she bent down to kiss Taranee's cheek.
"Is it okay if I continue to see your daughter, Mrs. Lin?" Taranee asked, mostly out of custom but she was afraid of what she would hear in response.
Joan Lin looked at Hay Lin who clenched tightly to Taranee's arm and her frightened eyes were close to tears. Taranee laid a comforting hand on Hay Lin's arm and listened closely for any response from Hay Lin's mother. Joan Lin watched the two for a long time before she sighed and hung down her head as she got up.
"I guess you can" she finally said, "Only a fool would try to stop true Love"
Hay Lin and Taranee let out a cry of happiness and hugged each other tightly. Unfortunately the bedcovers slipped of a bit and Joan Lin saw that they were both naked.
"Goodness gracious!" she burst, "Have you slept together?"
Hay Lin was quick to pull the covers back on.
"No, Hay Lin just didn't want to be alone yesterday when I came back with her and it got very warm inhere because of the summer night heat" said Taranee quickly.
Joan Lin wondered if it was just a lie to ease the strain on her but she saw no reason for them to lie to her now. She sighed and sat down on the bedside, rubbing her eyes.
"Now we have to think about how we are going to break this to your father"
And as on que or more like a devils thing for fun, Hay Lin's father, Chen Lin, stuck his head through the doorway.
"Talking about me?" he asked with his thick Chinese accent but became silent as he saw his daughter in bed with another girl.
"Chen" Joan Lin began, "Our daughter loves another girl, she's a lesbian" she said with dread of what Chen might say or do.
He just watched his wife for a moment before he spoke.
"So?" he asked confused.
"What!" shouted the three women.
"This America, Joan. Not China. Here there are lesbians everywhere, just go down to the Adult Shop down the street and look at the magazine and video section" he said with a Chinese trademark smile before he disappeared down the hall.
"I guess your father doesn't have any objection that you two are being together" said Joan Lin with a stunned look on her face.
"We still have to break it to our friends too" said Hay Lin.
"Yeah, that's going to pose a problem" said Taranee.
Chen Lin appeared in at the door again.
"I called your school and reported you sick and you can have the day off, Hay Lin" he said with his thick Chinese accent.
Without thinking Hay Lin leapt out of bed and ran to hug her father.
" Thankyou-thankyou-thankyou-thankyou-thankyou" Hay Lin said rapidly as she hugged her father.
"Hay Lin, you are naked and you are hugging me" Chen Lin said a little panicked as he squeezed his eyes shut, not to see anything.
Hay Lin shrieked and jumped under the covers again. She peeked out with a red blush covering her face. Taranee held her hand across her mouth to suppress a giggle. Hay Lin tried to rip the covers off Taranee who struggled with a laugh as she tickled Hay Lin. Joan and Chen left the girls before they saw something embarrassing. After a few minutes of fight, Taranee threw herself on top of Hay Lin and kissed her. Hay Lin laid still under the chocolate brown girl, just looking at her face with a big smile.
"I love you" she said.
"I love you to" said Taranee as she pecked Hay Lin's lips.
Taranee sighed and laid her head against Hay Lin's chest.
"What are we going to do today then, my love"
"How about you let me draw you?" Hay Lin suggested.
"Draw me?" Taranee asked as she looked up.
"Erotic Art" Hay Lin whispered in Taranee's ear.
Taranee pondered this for a bit then she agreed.
"Good" said Hay Lin as she jumped out of bed.
She got her sketchbook and two long white silk robes. She threw one of the robes to Taranee.
"Put this on" she said.
"Were are we going?" Taranee asked as she slipped on the robe.
She liked the smooth, soft feeling of the silk on her bare skin. Then she remembered that she promised to return the Heart of Kandrakar to Will this morning. She picked up the Heart from the pile of her clothes and hung it around her neck as she whispered a silent apology to the crystal.
"To the basement" Hay Lin said as she dragged Taranee down the hall.
Hay Lin tip-toed down the stairs with Taranee close by and quietly, they snuck down in to the basement. Hay Lin put a 'Do NOT disturb' sign on the door before she went down herself. The basement floor was cool under their feet as they walked over the floor trough the door to another room. There they helped each other by dragging out a long, red couch from one of the corners and a small stool. Taranee dropped the robe on the floor and laid down on the side facing Hay Lin as she rested her head on her left hand and stretched out her legs. The Heart of Kandrakar hung on her chest as a pink, still, silent jewel. Hay Lin dropped her robe on the floor, just to make Taranee a bit more comfortable, to and sat down on the stool as she began to draw the African girl. Hay Lin began with the couch, then she drew the body lines. She carefully filled in the rest of the body lines and added some shadow. Then she filled in the details of her face and hands. Her breasts were added and the Heart. Taranee's feet were perfected and then she drew Taranee's genital area. Lastly she drew Taranee's hair with her beads and her small tuft of blue hair between her legs. After the few hours it took Hay Lin to complete the drawing, she told Taranee to come and look as she perfected the drawing and Taranee was amazed by the details and the beauty of the drawing.
"Do you like it?" she asked.
"I love it" Taranee said as she hugged Hay Lin from behind a placed a kiss on her neck.
"My wrist hurts" said Hay Lin as she pouted her lips.
Taranee knew that she was mocking her but she played along and scooped up Hay Lin in her arms. She walked over laid her down on the couch as she kissed her. Then they just laid there on the couch, playing with each others hair and giving an occasional kiss on the lips or neck.
Ω
Meanwhile up in the restaurant, three well known girls walked in the front door. The brunette Irma, the blond Cornelia and the redhead Will. They had come to visit Hay Lin since they heard that she was called in sick at school and so was Taranee.
"Hi Mrs. Lin" called Irma, "Is Hay Lin feeling okay"
"More than okay in my opinion" she replied.
"Were is she?" Will asked as she looked around the crowded dinning hall.
"I think she's in the basement with Taranee" she said.
"In the basement?" said Cornelia confused.
"With Taranee?" said Irma with disbelief.
"If you go down there, knock first or you will get a shock" Joan Lin said to them.
Will, Cornelia and Irma walked down into the basement.
"No Hay Lin here" said Cornelia.
"Nor Taranee" said Will.
"How about in there" said Irma as she pointed at a wooden door in the corner.
Ω
Taranee laid on top of Hay Lin with her legs bent over to her back. Hay Lin laid with her hands under her head. She enjoyed the time they have spent together and felt a little bit sad that Taranee had to go home later.
"Why is that ugly sad look deforming your pretty face?" Taranee asked.
"I'm a little sad that you have to go home latter" she said.
"But that wont be until this evening" said Taranee with a smile, "And until then we have all the time to our selves"
"I told you they where in he-" Irma said as she walked through the door.
Clumsy as she is, Irma tripped over her own feet in shock and Cornelia tripped over Irma and Will over the passed two girls.
"What did you do that fo-" Cornelia said before she went silent at what she saw in the room.
Irma's eyes were wide as dinner plates and Will's face was stunned beyond belief. Hay Lin and Taranee hadn't moved a muscle and just exchanged looks with their friends. Suddenly Will, Cornelia and Irma shot up to their feet with their backs turned to the nude couple. Hay Lin and Taranee quickly grabbed and slipped on the silk robes.
"You can look now" said Hay Lin as she tightly tied the robe together.
Cornelia, Will and Irma slowly turned around.
"I think we need to talk" said Taranee, who was red all over her body with embarrassment.
