Big Green Tractor
One Shot 39
Aubrey is talking on the phone in the kitchen of the Bellas house while Stacie, Chloe, Jessica, Ashley, Flo and Lilly are in the living room pretending to watch some kind of TV show. In reality they are trying to listen in on the blonde's conversation. She has been weird the past few days while staying over at the house. Well, weirder than usual. Chloe leans forward to try and catch more bits and pieces but to no avail. Stacie pulls the redhead back right before Aubrey can walk in. The redhead shoots her a thankful look while she lets out a relieved breath.
The blonde plops down on the couch next to Stacie. "Bree are you alright?" Chloe asks, knowing the answer and that her best friend would probably lie. "Yeah, I'm alright." The redhead huffs out a breath. "Fine, alright, no I'm not ok. My mother just called and told me that my father and his brother are going to be here tomorrow." Stacie raises her brow in confusion. "Uhm I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, but why is it a bad thing that they're coming over?" The other girls agree with Stacie and stare intently at their ex co captain.
Aubrey looks around and feels the pressure building up. "Alright, my father and uncle don't really get along. They're twins but are complete opposites of each other." The blonde takes a deep breath, feeling the bad nauseating rumble in the pit of her stomach return. Stacie is the first one to notice the signs – tight lips, a hand on her stomach and closed eyes – and puts her hand on the blonde's thigh squeezing it gently. "Bree, I thought they couldn't stand being in the same place as each other?" Chloe asks thinking back at all the conversations they had through the years in her mind.
The blonde groans and drops her head into her hands. "When are they due to arrive?" Jessica asks in a creepy simultaneous way. "They should arrive tomorrow morning." Stacie scratches the back of her neck. "Do you know why they're coming here to see you?" She asks carefully. "I'm not sure but if they're both coming down it means they want to settle something that has to do with me. The last time that happened …" The blonde trails off and stares into the distance. "Oh no, nonononono." Stacie takes her hand back as quickly as she can before Aubrey rips it off as she jumps up and starts pacing.
The tall brunette gets up as well, in the hope to stop Aubrey from wearing out the carpet. "Hey, hey Aubrey relax, it'll be alright. We're all here for you." Stacie grabs the blonde by her elbows and stops her from moving. "You don't understand Stacie, this can end in one of two ways… One: my father disowns me and makes sure I never see the rest of the family again which I'm holding out for the day I tell him I'm gay. Or two: my uncle never speaks to me again and I don't think I can handle that. He and his wife are the only ones that ever understood me."
All the girls – except for Chloe – are pretty surprised about the little revelation. Stacie looks behind her to find all the girls staring at Aubrey. "Hey uhm can we go to the kitchen? Maybe I can help you out with your uhm situation?" The blonde looks up into the brunette's green eyes. "Sure but could we maybe go up to your room?" She asks, not really wanting a group of noisy girls to eaves drop. "Of course, by the way if you really want to have some privacy it would be a better idea to go out and grab something to eat."
"That actually sounds like a great idea." Chloe gets up from her seat on the couch with a loud 'Hey'. It makes Aubrey and Stacie chuckle. "Chlo is it ok if it's just Stacie and me?" The redhead lets out a laugh, being fully aware of her best friend's raging crush on the tall brunette. "Sure, no problem at all. I'll see you girls later. Just make sure you stay safe, huh." Stacie rolls her eyes while she leads the blonde towards the entrance hall to grab their coats. "Okay, before this gets weird. Let's get some lunch. See you later."
The girls wave the rest of the Bellas goodbye and let Beca in on their way out. "Where are they going? Wait, did they finally own up to their giant toners and go out on a date?" Chloe shakes her head. "Sorry Becs, that's not the case. Aubrey got a phone call from her mom and had a mini melt down or was on her way to have one." Beca's face drops. "Ooh no, I hope that Stacie can fix it." Chloe nods her head. "She might be the only one that can calm her down."
Stacie slides into the booth of the diner and waits for Aubrey to join her. To her surprise the blonde slides in next to her instead of across from her. The brunette's face lights up with a smile that probably would last for days. She normally doesn't do feelings but once the blonde stepped into her life that changed. "Stace what are you going to have?" The brunette looks to her left and then down at the menu the blonde is holding. "I was thinking of having a burger with fries. How about you?" Aubrey looks down and points at a salad.
The brunette rolls her eyes playfully. "Alright, do you want something to drink?" Aubrey puts up a smile. "How about we get some water?" Stacie agrees and flags down a waitress. "Hi Stacie, how can I help you today?" The brunette smiles up at the blonde waitress that looked a lot like Aubrey. "Hi Audrey…" Our own blonde raises her eye brow with a confused smile. "… we would like to have a bottle of water, a burger with fries and a salad for the lady." The waitress writes everything down. "I'll have everything with you as soon as possible oh and if you find a spare moment maybe we can get back together."
Aubrey's eyes widen and a rage of jealousy rushes through her body. She holds it in but if the fake blonde hits up one more comment she might not hold it in anymore. "Uhm Audrey I actually don't do that anymore. You could hit up Steve, he might know someone for you?" The blonde waitress turns around with a huff. Stacie lets out an embarrassed sigh and her face does a weird twitch that hasn't happened since that one creep hit on her while Aubrey was standing right next to her. Oh god I really need to get a grip.
"So, Audrey, huh?" Stacie half smiles at her ex captain. "Yeah we uhm we used to you know hook up from time to time. It was nothing, I swear." Aubrey rolls her eyes. "She and I we kind of look alike, don't you think? We even have a similar name." The blonde knows she shouldn't tease her friend but somewhere deep inside she needed to know if it was a coincidence. "W-Well uhm y-yeah I mean s-she and I-I might have wanted t-to you know…" Stacie breaths outs the heaviest of sighs. "Maybe I really wanted her to be you, but since you left I guess I settled for next best thing."
"Why uhm why didn't you just ask me you know… why didn't you ask me out?" The brunette's eyes widen in shock. "W-wait you'd want to go out with me?" Aubrey shrugs her shoulders with a shy smile. "Why don't you ask and find out?" She knows she's on thin ice here but she had to try. "Well uhm it's a bit late but uh Aubrey 'I have no idea what your middle name is' Posen will you go out on a date with me?" The blonde lets out a warm chuckle. "I'd love to go on a date with you, and for future reference my middle name is Elisabeth."
Stacie sits back slightly with a content smile. "Hey here's a crazy idea, how do you feel about this being our first date?" Aubrey nods her head and scoots closer to the brunette. "I'd really like that." Soon after the blonde waitress returns with their food. "Here you go, if there's something else you need please let me know." Stacie thanks the blonde and then turns her full attention to her gorgeous date. Aubrey knows the question that the brunette is dying to ask so she decides to help her out by starting to explain the situation herself.
"I guess I should tell you about my father and uncle… My father is the oldest and always stuck by the rules and his younger twin brother followed the rules loosely. When my father went to the army at the age of 18 my uncle decided to study agricultural science because he didn't want to be compared to his older brother anymore. My grandfather gave my uncle some money so he could start his own farm. My father was not happy to find out what his brother picked as a career choice. They grew apart but we did spend the holidays together.
Every summer my parents would let me and my brothers go to the farm until I was the last one going back. I still am the only one going back, my uncle and aunt never had children of their own. I helped out as much as I could. My father didn't like it so much and now he still tries to stop me from going to the farm. Out of fear I haven't been in 2 years, and this year I really wanted to go and I told my father that. Now he's mad at me and wants to change my mind. He says that a lady of my 'standard' should not be working in a field but should be working in a house. "
Stacie listens intently while trying to not clench her fists. Aubrey notices this and instantly reaches for the brunette's hands and intertwines their fingers. "My family is complicated but there's no need to get angry about it. I've gotten used to it by now." Stacie sighs and squeezes Aubrey's hand gently. "I know but I still can't believe your own father wouldn't allow you to see your uncle." Aubrey shrugs. "It never stopped me from seeing him before but somehow this time I'm scared. Last time I mentioned uncle Nick to my father he threatened to cut me out of the will."
"Is that even legal?" The brunette asks. "I don't know but that doesn't stop me from freaking out. I don't want to have to choose between my family members. Because honestly I'm scared that I would choose for my uncle." Stacie's mouth forms an O when the blonde's true fear comes out. "Oh sweetie, if your father does that he's the biggest jerk on the planet. And no matter what happens you'll always have the Bellas… you'll always have me." Stacie gives Aubrey's hand a pull so the blonde's cheek is close enough so she can give it a peck.
"How about we forget about that for a minute and enjoy our meal? And if you'd like we can go out for ice cream afterwards." Aubrey nods lightly and sits back so she can finally enjoy her salad in the best company she could ever wish for. "Oh, and Aubrey?" The blonde hums lightly, while munching away at her salad. "If your father and uncle give you a hard time you can always spend your summer with me, my parents won't mind since they're traveling with my little brothers." The blonde's smile grows five sizes and nods her head so hard Stacie is scared her head is going to fall off. "I'd really like that." And so the journey continues.
The next morning Aubrey is sitting at the kitchen table, aimlessly stirring her coffee cup. She's thinking about her date with Stacie the evening before. They had a great time and the brunette treated her like no one ever had before. She was sweet and actually listened, she never even once judges her about anything she said or did. Even when they got home the brunette only pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead instead of going in for a kiss. It surprised her but in a good way. It showed her how much the brunette has changed in two years.
Aubrey is so deep in thought that she doesn't notice Stacie walk into the kitchen and take out a mug for herself and turn around to stare at the blonde. When the brunette has had enough of sitting back and watching the spaced out blonde she takes another cup of coffee and slides it in front of her and finally catches her attention. "Oh I'm sorry Stace, I was just thinking about yesterday." Stacie lets out a chuckle. "Anything good?" Aubrey bumps her shoulder against the brunette's. "All prefect actually, because I got to spend it with a perfect date."
The doorbell startles the two girls. Aubrey's stomach does a weird twist that could not be anything good. "I'll get that. You uhm drink some water and take some deep breaths. I'll be here through everything, as long as you want me of course." Aubrey lets out a nervous, shaky chuckle. "I appreciate it Stace but if neither of us opens that door we'll be so unlucky that one of the other Bellas will and that's much worse." Stacie rolls her eyes while backing out of the kitchen. "Don't worry, all the girls except Chloe and Beca are out. And I'm positive they won't be coming down."
"Thank you Stace you're the best." The brunette waves it off and now runs to the door to meet Aubrey's father and uncle. "Hello mister Posen and uh mister Posen. Aubrey is in the living room, it's right this way." Once the two men disappear into the living room Stacie breaths out a barely audible 'oh my god'. The two men looked exactly alike in their face but one was dressed in a fancy army uniform while the other wore a red and white checkered shirt and blue overalls and a straw hat. It's creepy how stereotypical they look, as if they try to piss each other off.
Stacie quickly shakes the thoughts out of her head and goes into the living room to make sure Aubrey's breakfast stays inside of her. And it seems like she's right on time too. Aubrey is sitting on a chair facing the couch where her father and uncle are sitting. The blonde is really nervous and fiddling with the ring on her thumb. Her blue eyes find Stacie's green ones, silently asking her for help. "Mister Posen and uhm once again mister Posen could I offer you a drink?" Stacie asks with a slightly forced smile. "You can call me Nick." The farmer twin with a thick Southern accent says with a gentle smile.
"I'll stick with mister Posen if that's alright with you miss uhm I'm sorry I don't know your name." Nick Posen scoffs at his brother's ignorance. "Of course you don't Richard." The slightly younger man turns to face Stacie. "You must be Stacie Conrad, am I right?" The brunette nods. "If your offer still stands I would like to have a glass of water. If it's not too much trouble." Stacie nods her head with a smile. "Of course mi- Nick." She corrects herself quickly when he shoots her a playful stare. "Something for you mister Posen?"
Aubrey's father dismisses the girl and she goes into the kitchen and comes back a few minutes later with a jug filled with water and four glasses. She sets it on the little table fills up three glasses and gives one to Nick, one to Aubrey and holds up the third one for Aubrey's father. "Are you sure you don't want some water mister Posen?" The man frowns slightly but accepts the glass. Once that part is done Stacie sits down on a chair right next to the blonde. "Drink a bit, it'll make you feel better." She whispers into the blonde's ear and it seems to relax her.
Mister Posen sits up straighter and looks between the two girls with a thoughtful frown on his face. "We might have more to talk about than our summer plans." He finally says. "Richard, Aubrey is old enough to make her own decisions. If she wants to do one thing because it makes her happy you shouldn't try and keep her from it." The double meaning didn't escape Stacie. It seemed like uncle Nick knows that Aubrey's gay or at least assumes and is totally fine with it. "Nickolas, stay out of my parenting. If I tell my daughter to come home during summer she will do as I say."
"Oh really? Should she cook dinner, clean the house and the stables while she's at it? Richard she's 24 years old, you can't keep forcing her to do things you like. She should be making her own decisions." The older Posen gets up from his seat on the couch. "Are you calling me a slave driver?" Nick Posen follows his brother's motions and stands up as well. "I wouldn't have to if you didn't behave like one three quarters of the time." Stacie feels a huge fight coming up and Aubrey tensing up beside her.
"I'm really sorry sirs but how about you give Aubrey a chance to tell you what she wants for once? You're both arguing about her while she's sitting right here." The brunette squeezes the blondes hand and the small gesture seems to calm her down. "Thank you Stace." Aubrey looks up and finally dares to look her father in the eyes. "Father I'm really sorry but I really like going to uncle Nick's farm. It's a nice way to get some exercise while having a moment to clear my mind. It was the best way to relax after a stressful year at school or a week off from the lodge."
Richard Posen just glares at his daughter but his features soften while he lets out a sigh. "I might have overreacted but it doesn't mean I'm happy about it all." Aubrey thinks about the situation and comes up with an idea that can go two ways. "Father I have a proposition. What if I spend one week at home and one week the farm? This way I get to spend time with both of you and be back in time to prepare the next groups at the lodge for the rest of summer."
Mister Posen looks at his brother and then back at his daughter. "I guess we can do that. It really makes you happy to go to the farm doesn't it" Aubrey nods. "Maybe I was jealous because you spent more time with my brother than you spent with me. I felt like I was losing you." The blonde's shoulders relax and she takes a step towards her father. This was the first time ever he has opened up and it was somewhat heartwarming. Maybe he wasn't as heartless as she always thought. "You'll never lose me father I will always be your daughter."
The 'not so scary anymore' mister Posen opens up his arms awkwardly for a hug. Aubrey immediately runs into them. Stacie watches the adorable family moment and feels like she's overstepping by staying so she slowly starts making her way towards the kitchen. "Miss Conrad?" The tall brunette turns back around to face Aubrey's father. "I would like to thank you for opening my eyes and make me listen to my daughter. "You're welcome sir, Aubrey is my best friend and I would do anything for her." The older Posen narrows his eyes with a weird smile. "Just make sure you take good care of her because whether you're a girl or not I will hunt you down if you don't."
Aubrey steps away from her father, in between the brunette and him. "F-father? What a-are you talking about?" Nick Posen speaks up instead of his older brother. "What he wants to say is, we're happy for you and we've known for a while. That's one thing we never argued about, really." Aubrey's face is one of pure shock. "You knew?" Mister Posen lets out a chuckle. "When was the last time you brought a man home?" The silent reaction he gets is all he needed. "I just whished you would have talked to me about it. The only reason I tried to set you up so many times is because I wanted you to open up."
"Really?" Mister Posen nods. "Yes, I'm sorry I did that by the way, I should have just talked to you about it instead." Aubrey hugs her father again, trying really hard not to cry. "I guess we have everything settled. Aubrey will spend one week at home, one week at the farm and has an amazing girlfriend." Uncle Nick recaps with a laugh. "Yes my brother, I think you're right. How about we all go out for lunch and get to know each other? The summer is 3 months too far away to wait and catch up." Aubrey's face lights up and looks at Stacie with a shimmer of hope in her eyes. "Bree, please, you know I'm a sucker for the puppy eyes."
"I do, that's why I use them." The blonde teases with a wink. "Father, uncle Nick could you give us a minute to get ready? We'll be right back down." The twins wave the girls off with a smile and watch as they disappear into the hallway and up the stairs. This summer was going to be very interesting for all of them.
Aubrey is way beyond excited. She just spent an entire week with her father, mother and two older brothers. They treated her great and actually tried to be interested in her business. One of her brothers even promised to set up a group from his law firm to go to the lodge and do some bonding. The guys working at his firm are too stressed out and need something to reconnect with each other again. But what most surprised her is that all four were genuinely happy that she is in a happy relationship with a woman. And not any woman, she is dating Stacie Conrad. They made it official 2 months ago.
The blonde's smile grows wider thinking about the brunette. Stacie was on her way to Nashville to spend some time with Aubrey on Nick Posen's farm/ranch. After that they would drive back to Atlanta and Stacie would help out at the Lodge Of Fallen Leaves for the rest of summer. The brunette had stayed in Atlanta and took on a job to make some extra money. And would drive up today. She actually should be on her way right now. Aubrey had arrived the previous day by plane and has been up since 6 AM, watching the front of the house since 9 AM, even though Stacie wouldn't have left Atlanta until 2 PM.
"You know, staring at the road won't make time go faster." Aubrey jumps up as her uncle creeps up on her. "Uncle Nick, you scared me." The man lets out a chuckle and shakes his head with a smile. "I'm sorry Aubrey, but if you go and do something to keep yourself busy it will feel like she'll be here sooner." The blonde huffs and takes a step back from the window. "Would you mind if I use your kitchen to bake some cookies?" She asks with a smile that's way too innocent. And of course her uncle could never say no to her so she runs off to the kitchen.
Right now it's 6 PM and Aubrey has baked around 100 cookies which should be enough to feed them for at least a month. They would probably have to give a way some batches to the neighbors because this was just crazy. "Alright, step away from the cookies." Uncle Nick looks around his kitchen and rolls his eyes while trying to contain his laughter. "I'm sorry uncle Nick, I bake when I'm nervous." The man chuckles and pats a chair for his niece to sit down. "Tell me, why are you nervous about seeing your girlfriend?"
"I-I'm not… fine I am nervous." Aubrey sits down with a heavy sigh. "Stacie is a… how do I put this? A very outgoing person." Nick hums lightly. "Are you scared she's going to cheat on you? Or are you scared because you think you won't believe her if she tells you she didn't." Aubrey sits back and thinks about the question. She opens and closes her mouth a few times but can't formulate an answer. Until she finally finds her words again. "I'm scared of disappointing her if we do take the next, you know… step."
Nick scrunches up his nose. He does not want to think about his niece doing anything remotely close to that but he also knows she's a grown up and he's totally ok with that. "Sweetie, I need you to listen carefully. I have seen how Stacie looks at you and that was before you made it, how do the kids say it these days? Oh yeah, 'official'. She really cares about you and she would never hurt you, I can see it in her eyes. But if you're really scared about something in your relationship you should talk to her about it. Just be honest with each other."
Aubrey stays quiet, processing everything until she hears a car engine in the distance. "She's here." Her eyes widen and a smile creeps back up to her face. "So, what are you doing here? Go out there and meet your girlfriend." That's all it takes for Aubrey to shoot out of her seat and almost run into the door while running out. It was a really close call and thank heavens it didn't happen. Nick gets up after watching his niece run out to clean up all the cookies and put them into bowls.
In meantime Stacie pulls up to the house in her little beamer with the rooftop down. Thank god the weather allowed it. The brunette parks the car in front of the front door that she assumes is the correct house, since her gorgeous girlfriend is standing outside of it. "Hey beautiful." She shouts considering to hop out of her car and circle it to run up to the blonde but doesn't because she's star struck by her beauty. "Stace you're finally here." A huge dog comes running towards the car and wags its tail to greet the new visitor.
"Down boy, down… go look for uncle Nick, go on, in you go." The huge golden retriever listens to the blonde and runs into the house. It gives her the chance to look up and find Stacie standing in front of her with her suitcase in hand. Stacie looked amazing. Her curled hair waving in the wind, wearing a beautiful summer dress that fits her perfectly. She looked way too good to not take out somewhere. "You look… wow." Stacie laughs and sets her luggage down so she can hold out her arms for a hug. "You look even better."
Aubrey blushes and shies away but Stacie is having none of that. "Bree you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met, please believe me when I tell you that. Because I intend to tell you for a very long time." The brunette leans in and presses her lips against her girlfriend's but they pull apart too soon for either's liking. "You look too good for me to not take you out tonight, what do you want to do?" Aubrey whispers into Stacies's hair. "I don't care, as long as I'm with you." The brunette answers just as quiet. "There's a cool show in town or we can stay here?"
"Anything you want, I just want to be with you." Aubrey squeezes her girl tightly and lets out a giggle which of course catches the brunette's attention and she pulls back to look down at her. "What's so funny she asks. "Oh nothing, I was just thinking maybe I could take you on a ride? On my big green tractor." It takes Stacie a minute to fully realize what has been said before bursting out in laughter. "O-ooh r-really? Wh-where will we go?"
"Well, we can go down through the woods and out to the pasture (land covered with grass and other low plants suitable for grazing animals, especially cattle or sheep). If you're lucky I might let you climb up in my lap and let you drive, if you want to of course. And if you get scared you can hold me tight or we can go to the town if you'd rather do that." While Aubrey is listing the things they can do she slowly walks backwards towards the house. "But first I'm going to cook us all dinner while you get settled."
Uncle Nick looks at his guests with a warm smile, thinking about a way to give the two some time to spend alone. He looks outside and sees his old, trustworthy, big green tractor outside. "Aubrey, why don't you take Stacie out to see Blue Jean?" The blonde looks up with a confused expression clouding her face. "We can't get there uncle Nick, it's an hour walk and the car won't be able to pass the trail." Stacie follows the conversation with an amused smile, still impressed that her girlfriend's accent completely changed. The blonde is now speaking in a light southern accent.
"Ya'll can take the tractor." Stacie can't hold it in and starts laughing. Uncle Nick is slightly confused but seeing his niece trying to hold her own laughter he lets it go. "Nick is right, it's beautiful especially if you take Blue Jean and Stella up to the hill down at the meadow." Eliza says holding out a picnic basket in front of her. "Like husband like wife, you planned this didn't you?" Nick looks positively confused as he didn't know his wife was planning this. "No sweetie but I think it can be a nice way to get to know the country side and the view is just amazing."
Stacie nods her head and looks at her girlfriend with a look that is somewhere between amused and hopeful. "I think it's a great idea but it's all up to you Bree." The blonde gets up with a shrug and takes the basket from her aunt. "Well, if you're really up to it then let's go. But- you'll have to change into something more comfortable. Riding a horse in a dress is not something you want to try." Stacie salutes her girlfriend with a grin and follows Aubrey's finger to where the bedroom is. "It's the third door on the right!"
Stacie looks up at the tractor. "Are you sure this is safe?" She asks worriedly while watching Aubrey climb up the giant danger. "Of course, I've been driving this thing since I was 10, get up here Conrad." The blonde holds out her hand and easily pulls the brunette up and inside the tractor. She doesn't wait any longer and starts the engine up. The ride towards the stables where the horses are is relatively short. Mostly consisting of Stacie staring at Aubrey in pure adoration. "We're almost there, I'm going to park at the side of the barn. We'll saddle up Blue Jean and Stella and we'll go up that hill."
The brunette follows the direction of her girlfriend's finger. "It's looks beautiful out here, kind of makes me sad I never went to places like this when I was younger." Aubrey kills he engine and turns to face Stacie. "There's a first time for everything." The brunette agrees and lets herself be helped down from the big green tractor after handing the blonde the picnic basket, to then follow her into the stables. There are two horses in the stables. One completely brown with a white spot on its forehead. And a completely white one.
"Alright, I'll saddle them both up and we can leave immediately." Stacie nods and watches how Aubrey picks up all the things she needs and takes it into the first stable with the white horse. "This is Stella, she's the first horse I ever rode. She's the sweetest horse on the planet, and you'll be the one riding her. So come on over and meet her." The brunette takes a tentative step forward. Stella seems to be comfortable and sniffs the brunette and lets out huff that makes her hair fly. "She likes you."
"I would hope so, I'd rather ride a horse that like me than one that hates me." Stacie jokes. "Alright Conrad, I'm done with Stella. Give me 15 minutes and I'll be done with Blue Jean as well, and we'll be out to have a nice walk." Aubrey walks out of the stable and leaves Stacie alone with Stella. The brunette holds out her hand and Stella bumps her nose into it and lets the human pet her. "You really are a sweet horse, aren't you?" She coos sweetly. "Are you going to be nice to me while I ride you?... Of course you will, if Aubrey trusts you so do I."
She doesn't notice her girlfriend giggling behind her until the laughter becomes too loud to ignore. "Are you done laughing?" Aubrey holds up her hands and bites her lower lip trying to stop laughing. "Can we go? I'll need a moment to actually get up on Stella, it's been a while." Stacie scratches the back of her neck and leads Stella outside, Aubrey following promptly with Blue Jean. The two get on top of their respective horses, Aubrey carrying the picnic basket. They have light conversations on their way to the hill.
When they reach the top they both strap the horses to the wooden pole next to the tree. Aubrey lays out the blanket out on the ground and puts out a bottle of wine, a plate of sandwiches and a huge tin box of the fresh baked cookies she made earlier surrounded by candles. She looks up from her work and sees Stacie look out at the view in front of her. The sun was about to set and it was going to be beautiful and extremely romantic. Or at least she hopes it will be. She hears a soft gasp beside her and turns her head to see why.
Stacie's mouth is hanging open and her eyes are wide. "This is just… wow, this it amazing. Thank you for bringing me here." She says in a low whisper. "You haven't seen everything yet. Uhm do you want to sit down?" Aubrey points at the laid out picnic underneath the tree. The sight elicits another gasp from the brunette. "Aubrey this is amazing… you're amazing." The brunette wraps her arms around her girlfriend's neck and pulls her in for a searing kiss. A kiss that leaves them both breathless and wanting more.
It takes them a few minutes to catch their breaths and to lower themselves onto the blanket and wrap themselves in each other's arms. Aubrey feeds Stacie sandwiches and the brunette does the same. They stay quiet and take small sips from the wine they brought. The sun is setting and the glow is beautiful. Yet Stacie isn't really paying attention at the beautiful sight in the distance, she's more preoccupied with the gorgeous blonde nuzzled up in her arms. "You're missing the beautiful view." Aubrey says nuzzling further into the embrace. "I have a much more beautiful view, right here."
Aubrey looks up with a shy smile but almost instantly looks down with a little frown. "Hey, what's wrong?" The blonde shrugs and fumbles with the side of the blanket that covers them. "Bree?" Stacie tries again, sitting up to look down at her girlfriend. "I'm scared… about us." Stacie raises her brow in confusion. "Wait are you unsure about us? Is it… d-did I do something wrong?" The brunette lets go of her girlfriend to give her some space. "No, nononono you're perfect… just forget I said anything." Aubrey pulls her knees up and stares out to the view in front of her.
"No Bree, tell me what's going on." Aubrey sighs and turns to face Stacie. "What if you find someone better? Someone who can really… uhm satisfy…you…" The blonde's face turns bright red and she too scared to look the brunette in the eyes. "What? Oh no Bree, don't ever think that you can't satisfy me. You make me feel more with one kiss than anyone ever has with anything they ever tried. I love you Aubrey and I will wait till the end of time to do anything you feel comfortable with. I never want to pressure you, ever."
Aubrey stares at the brunette. Shocked about what she just heard. "Y-you l-lo-love me?" She manages to stammer out. "You… love me?" Aubrey points between themselves and keeps repeating the sentence over and over, trying to really wrap her mind around it. When this is going for almost five minutes Stacie knows she has to jump in. "Bree, sweetie, I need you to breathe for a second." Aubrey takes a deep breath and tries to control her shaking hands. Stacie feels the pressure building so she takes the ands in hers and rubs soothing circles in the blonde's palms. "I do love you and I meant everything I said. You don't have to say it back, like I said n-"
"I love you too."
Stacie freezes and a huge grin creeps up on her face. She takes Aubrey by surprise and knocks her down to kiss her with all the emotion that's rushing through her body. She pins her down and lets Aubrey tangles her fingers into her brown hair. The blonde lets out a strangled moan that had been stuck in the back of her throat for ages. Stacie pulls back and supports her weight by leaning on her hands, both next to the blonde's hair. She has an amused smile lighting up her face. Aubrey's faced is flushed and it's adorable. "We uhm we have to stop, because if we continue I won't be able to stop."
"I don't want to stop, I want you." Without wanting to wait any longer Aubrey pulls her girlfriend back on top of her and manages to roll them both over. The sunset completely forgotten and sleep, a necessity that would have to wait until the morning.
