Kate hadn't made it very far at all when Bella, and in turn Kate, heard JP enter the dorm yelling something about some tv show that was coming on and that Bella better "hurry her ass up in that shower" and join her.
Bella had sighed heavily and heard Kate's groan on the other end of the phone. She'd apologized, said they'd talk later, hung up, and gotten out of the shower. She and JP had watched whatever it was that she'd been yelling about, Bella couldn't focus enough to remember what it was, and then she'd gone to bed.
Bella had been keyed up all day on Tuesday but because of school actually being in session now, they didn't have practice every day anymore. She didn't see Kate until Wednesday at practice because of scheduling issues and when she finally did, she wasn't prepared for her heart to race as fast as it did or for her breath to catch in her throat and refuse to let go.
She saw a flash of white as Kate shot her a smile and knew that her mate was reacting the same way and that she knew just how she was affecting Bella. All through practice, Kate teased Bella relentlessly. She brushed up against her countless times. She "accidentally" bumped into her on several occasions. She made a point of being near Bella any time the human tried to catch her breath just so she couldn't properly do so.
Bella fled after practice. She didn't even wait on the girls to be finished packing their things away and definitely didn't wait on Kate.
Kate watched her mate leave and feared that she'd overstepped. She could feel her heart breaking as she packed her equipment away and tried to figure out how to approach Bella and apologize. Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she fished it out to read the text.
Bella: Come find me ;)
Kate grinned, told the girls she'd see them Friday, and all but ran in the direction that Bella had disappeared in.
0~0~0
They'd been interrupted… again. Kate had laid her forehead against Bella's shoulder where they had been in the locker rooms and let out a long groan. Bella had confusedly looked up into golden eyes and Kate had shook her head, "The girl's lacrosse team is heading in here to shower," She'd said in explanation, and the two of them were gone before the team appeared.
Bella was frustrated. What did a girl have to do to get laid around here? She entered her dorm and groaned as she made her way into her bedroom and threw her bag down near the door. Her phone beeped a moment later and she picked it up only to furrow her brows when she saw a text from JP waiting for her. Wasn't the girl in the room next to her? She could just talk and Bella would hear her.
JP: Angry are we?
She attached a laughing emoji and Bella breathed out a laugh. Of course her roommate heard her.
Bella: Just frustrated.
She responded and attached a shrugging emoji for emphasis. She sat down at her desk and dug her notebook out of her bag to get some homework done.
JP: Why is that?
Bella bit her lip. How much did she divulge here? What was too much? How would JP take it?
JP: Suddenly no answer. Sex related?
Bella gaped. How the hell did she know that.
Bella: Well. Yeah?
She felt herself blush as she sent it and immediately regretted her decision to be so open with her roommate.
JP: If it helps, I'll be gone all weekend.
She'd attached about six winking emojis and Bella let out a laugh and called out a "thanks" to her roommate who'd just yelled back a sassy "you're welcome". Bella shook her head as she grinned to herself. She went back to her notes for a few moments but after staring at the same paragraph for five minutes without being able to actually read it, she pulled up her text thread with Kate.
Bella: Plans for the weekend?
Kate: What'd you have in mind?
Bella: JP will be out of town ;)
Kate: Sounds like I have plans then, doesn't it?
Bella grinned. Finally. Some alone time with her mate. She'd have to remember to buy JP that awful wine she liked as a thank you present.
