Mary broke the silence a few minutes later still holding Ririka tightly around her waist. "I feel like I could use a shower… Would you care to join me?" Her initial idea was to cheer the other girl up a bit but she noticed the reaction her words had when they sank in. The slightly taller girl tensed up and inhaled sharply. "I mean, only if you feel comfortable enough. I just thought it might be nice. Some skinship as a reward for everything you did today." Mary wished her playful teasing hadn't went too far to scare Ririka even further.
Shallow breaths and a burning red face that emerged from the crook of her neck proved Mary's worries to be for nothing. Ririka charged at the blonde's lips and drew her into a heated kiss. If it wasn't for the icky feeling after cleaning and working all day, Mary would have given into the urges without a second thought. She decided to break the kiss and laughed softly. "I'll take that as a yes."
Eventually standing in the bathroom with only their underwear, Mary had a few second doubts about her earlier proposition. She stole a few glances at the older girl and her nearly perfect figure, but the doubts were cleared off her mind when Ririka returned her gaze with passion clouding her eyes. The silver haired girl leaned in and planted a small kiss on Mary's shoulder. She obviously felt encouraged when Mary's breath hitched and took a step closer, pressing her front against the blonde's back. More kisses were administrated along the shoulder, closing Mary's neck and she gave the eager girl more access by tilting her head on the side.
"R-Riri, we were supposed to—" her voice faded when the other girl's hand wandered down her stomach.
"But I like how your skin tastes now," Ririka said, venturing lower with her hand. A small whining sound escaped the blonde's mouth when the hand slipped under the rubber band of her panties.
"That's…" Mary tried to talk but soft trail the fingers left across her mound distracted her thoughts. Her own hand found the other girl's wrist, but she had no willpower left to draw it away. "…dirty."
Ririka's kisses trailed and met with the shell of Mary's ear. "Oh, I bet it is." The warm breath and the slightly cocky tone in Ririka's voice had Mary squeezing the wrist in her hand and her hips pushing back against Ririka's warm skin. "But I just thought I'd give you a hint of what I want to do later."
The fingers were still tracing lazy patterns around Mary's sensitive parts. Quite close enough to get her mind swirling to a fuzzy mess but keeping far enough to make the craving inside her grow fast to a point where she was aching for more precise movements. The fingers stopped for a moment and Mary let out a frustrated growl. "Who said you can stop now?"
Mary felt her own bra slide off and hit the tile floor with an almost inaudible thump. She had been so focused on what was going on down between her legs that she failed to pay any attention to what the other girl had been doing. Mary shivered when a warm breath tickled her ear. "Oh, I'm not quite done demonstrating yet."
The blonde enjoyed the enthusiasm Ririka was treating her with. It was almost as if the older girl was as impatient as she was. Though there was nothing imprecise of what followed when the other hand found the supple breast and cupped it. The soft but firm brushes Ririka administrated with her thumb against Mary's nipples coaxed audible moans out of her. The other hand found the drenched slit between her legs it had been avoiding so far and Mary let go of the arm to take support from the nearby counter.
"F-fuck…" Mary managed to cry out when Ririka applied a perfect amount of pressure on her clit and she had trouble staying focused on standing up. Judging by the quickened pants against her ear and the way the other girl was pressing herself against her back, Mary came to a quick conclusion that Ririka was also enjoying herself and this only added to her own arousal. She closed her eyes for a moment and made sure to jerk her hips back with each movement Ririka made with her fingers.
Warm waves of pleasure washed over Mary and the simultaneous stimuli applied on her overly sensitive spots was driving her over the edge. "Nngh… Riri…" Mary tried to speak but only earned a small gasp from the other girl breathing heavily against her ear when her name was mentioned in the most affectionate way. "I can't… If you keep going like that—shit…"
"I want you to cum for me, Mary." Ririka managed to say with a strained voice.
Mary bit down on her lip and let herself go, the feelings washing over her felt like she was riding warm waves where everything blended to a one succulent bliss. For a moment, she was lost in a euphoric sensation where she wasn't sure anymore where her own body ended and Ririka's started. All her mind registered were the bright lights of the bathroom blending in her vision to a one shiny blur and when she came to, she was pretty sure she heard herself cry out Ririka's name before her body clenched uncontrollably. Had it not been the support from Ririka's arms, she would have fallen hard on her knees on the cold floor.
Ririka affectionately laid kisses on her neck while continuing to support her. Mary was trying to catch her breath before she steadied herself against the counter and turned around. "What the actual fuck… That was… W-what was that?"
"Hmm? You've never had—" Ririka was looking at Mary puzzled.
"Of course, I have! Just… normal ones. That was intense." Mary was still trembling with the aftershocks.
Ririka's lips curled to a smile. Had Mary not known her better, she'd think it was even a bit smug. "Well, I'm glad you liked it."
The whole evening passed with insatiable moments of exploring each other's limits and with their bodies entwined in heated pleasure. They ended up taking another shower after both felt completely exhausted. After getting a quick shower together, considerably less heated one compared to the first, they crawled under the sheets.
"Do you really have to leave tomorrow?" Mary asked, holding the other girl tight in her arms.
"Yes," Ririka said quietly.
Mary tried to examine her to see why she suddenly seemed to be a bit down. "Hey, is everything OK?"
"It's… I don't want to talk about it," Ririka started to speak and tried to find words to explain herself. "But I wish I could just stay here with you like this forever."
"I wouldn't mind if you hung around here a bit more." Mary nuzzled closer to her lover.
"Just a bit more?" Tone was not as light-hearted as Mary would've expected but she decided to push the questions out of her mind.
"A lot more."
Sunday morning was as pleasant for Mary as it had been on the previous morning. Waking up next to someone was surprisingly comfortable for her. When she opened her eyes and saw Ririka still sound asleep, a strong wave of affection flushed over her when she remembered the events from the past night. Soft chuckle escaped her lips when the other girl was mumbling nonsense in her sleep.
"What was that?" Mary leaned in closer and tried to get Ririka to talk.
"Mmmngh. Not pineapple." Ririka frowned and turned her head.
"Are you sure? Pineapple is pretty good," Mary said, continuing the mysterious conversation with a huge grin spread across her face.
"That's not… Mary doesn't like it in curry," Ririka mumbled.
Mary laughed and poked the soft cheek with her index finger. "Well, you're absolutely right. I would never want pineapple in my curry!"
"W-what?" Ririka opened her eyes.
"My curry. I'd like it without pineapple, please." Mary smirked.
Ririka blinked her eyes a few times before turning to face the grinning blonde. "Oh—was I talking in my sleep?"
Mary nodded and planted a kiss on Ririka's cheek.
"Are you making fun of me?" Ririka feigned being hurt. "That's rude."
"I know, couldn't resist." Mary teased. "Breakfast?"
Ririka nodded but when she realized it would mean the blonde would get up and leave, she changed her mind and tightened her grip and pulled Mary closer. "Not yet. I want to stay like this for a while."
"Of course," Mary said and planted a small kiss on the girl's forehead.
The two had managed to get out of bed and eaten the breakfast before noon. After a careful examination of Mary's DVD collection, Ririka had decided on a drama series she wanted to see. Episodes played on the background, but they seemed to be more focused on each other and the TV was mainly open for a background noise.
"Oh, meant to ask you this before, but why forgot. Do you have a cell phone?" Mary suddenly remembered the anxiety of not being able to contact Ririka when she was away.
"No, sorry, I don't."
"Why?" Mary found it hard to believe anyone would survive without one.
"I just never needed one. I could get one if you want me to." Ririka looked thoughtful.
"Well it'd be nice to hear from you when you're away." Mary leaned in closer.
"I… yeah, it would be nice," Ririka said getting quiet again.
"Well, I'm going to give you my number in case you ever get your hands on a phone." Mary smiled and reached for her bag to find a piece of paper and a pen. Ririka watched curiously at the blonde and took the piece of paper handed to her. She held it like it was the most precious thing she had ever received. Mary laughed softly. "It's just my number, just realized you probably have it in your folder anyway."
"It's not the same thing. You gave this to me," Ririka said, staring at the simple piece of paper.
Mary looked at the girl and got an idea while watching Ririka being mesmerized by something so simple. She took another piece of paper and wrote something on it, blocking it from Ririka's view.
"What is that?" Ririka tried to see what Mary was scribbling but the blonde refused to show her.
"You'll know when you need to," Mary said mysteriously and continued writing until she was satisfied with whatever she had gotten down on the note. "OK, so I'm going to fold this carefully and you can not open this yet, understood?"
"O-okay. When can I open it?" The look on Ririka's face was making Mary smile. It was like a puppy following a treat waved in front of their face. Mary tried to move her hand around a bit to see if her theory held and grinned when the blue eyes darted after the hand with the note on it. Ririka caught on quick and pouted. "You're teasing me again, Mary."
"Sorry, couldn't resist." Mary continued grinning but stopped her teasing and placed the note in Ririka's hand. "You can only open it when you miss me so much you can't take it anymore."
"Hmm… Can I write you something too, then?" Ririka asked after placing both notes carefully in her pocket.
"Sure, here." Mary handed the pen and paper to Ririka and turned to look away. She kept staring out of the window for a long while before she got tired of waiting and turned back to the other girl. "Are you ready yet?"
Mary was surprised to see the other girl looking back at her with the most painful expression she had yet seen. "I'm going to miss you so much, Mary."
"Whoa, hey, I'm still here." Mary crawled closer and closed her arms around the girl who was on a verge of breaking into tears. The sharp loud noise of the door buzzer rang suddenly. Mary watched as Ririka's face turned white.
"Hey, you don't have to—" Mary started but the buzzer rang again. She winced at the loud sound but kept looking at Ririka and waited for her to say something.
"No, I need to do this. If everything goes as planned, I should be back by Wednesday." She stood up and headed towards the genkan. "How can I use this thing?"
"Just pick up the receiver and talk." Mary got up on her feet and took hurried steps after Ririka.
Ririka did as advised and picked the receiver. "Hello… Yes, it's me. I'll be down in a bit."
After ending the call, Ririka turned to look for her shoes and was met with Mary who pulled her close. "I'll miss you. And tell your sister she should think of some excuse not to follow me with your mask on. It's creeping me out."
"Oh? I didn't know she followed you around…" Ririka looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'll definitely ask her not to do so. If it's any consolation, it's actually me who's not attending school next week."
"Ugh, the whole ordeal is confusing enough as it is. But I guess, yeah, it's definitely easier." Mary didn't want to let go of Ririka. Ririka frowned but stayed quiet.
"I just want you to know this weekend meant a lot to me." The silver-haired girl's voice was fading.
"It meant a lot to me too, and it's just a few days until it's Wednesday. I'll survive." Mary tried to give the other girl an encouraging smile. She lifted her chin and a stole one last kiss from Ririka. The gloomy looking girl slipped her note in Mary's hand before stepping out of the door.
Kirari was already sitting on the back seat when Ririka entered and joined her. It only took a quick glance before Kirari spoke up.
"You're not wearing your mask."
"Oh… right. Must have forgotten it somewhere." Ririka said quietly without any intention of trying to relocate it.
"Never mind the mask. Did you get to say everything you wanted to?" Kirari asked with a nonchalant tone.
"I—couldn't…" Ririka's voice faded as tears started to form in her eyes.
"How long did you plan to wait?! You do realize you'll just end up hurting her? After the stunt the council pulled on… well—let's not go there." Kirari didn't have to turn her head to know her sister was falling apart next to her. "You won't get to wear the mask tomorrow; your eyes will be puffy. Just pull it together."
...
So... Sorry for the cliffhanger and slightly shorter chapter. Work and life are killing me right now and my updates are lagging a bit.
But thanks for following the story and please leave comments and let me know what you think! :3
