Chapter 14
I Love You More
"Just don't look her in the eyes." Akko whispered to Diana as they finally made their way, hand in hand, out of the quickly emptying restaurant.
"Akko, I can't avoid eye contact with your mother. It's rude to do so if I am addressed." The blonde frantically whispered back. "I think you may be overreacting just a bit."
"Am I, Diana? Am I reall...hey...parents...of mine!" The brunette switched gears immediately upon noticing how close they'd gotten to the older couple, and the unimpressed stares being sent their way. "Are you...uh...r-ready to go?" Akko laughed nervously, glancing quickly at her girlfriend. Suddenly she was envious of the blonde's ability to put on a neutral mask in any situation.
"Quite ready." Haruto stated as he opened the car door for his wife. "It has been a rather exhausting day."
Following his lead, Diana opened the passenger side door for Akko, who in turned blushed and gave the blonde a quick peck on the lips before sitting. Diana smiled fondly as she watched the giddy girl, surprised that such a simple thing could elicit such a reaction. She knew she was in love with Akko, she had been for some time now, but somehow tonight she had fallen even more. With each simple moment like this, she was drowning further and further in Akko. And she never wanted to come up for air.
"Ah Haruto, don't be such an old man. It doesn't suit you." Akemi joked, smiling slyly at the grumbling man. "We were able to see our daughter play for the first time in a long time, and she didn't even hurt anyone this time. She's improving!"
"Okaasan!" Akko whined loudly. "That was one time! It's not like I meant to give that girl a concussion." The brunette puffed out her cheeks in a pout before turning her head toward Diana who had entered the car, but was now staring at her with her eyebrows raised.
"You...gave someone a concussion?" The blonde asked in disbelief.
"Okay, can we not...talk about this. Okaasan clearly thinks I am some brute, smashing people up every chance I get." Akko sighed dramatically.
"Well little Akko, you got that fire from your mother. She only thinks that because of how she acted at your age." Haruto laughed loudly at the glare and elbow now being sent his way from his unamused wife.
As the couple bickered back and forth in the backseat, Diana and Akko watched them with amused smiles before the blonde turned her gaze to her now giggling girlfriend. So this was what having a loving family was like. She had forgotten. It had been so long since her mother was alive that she had even forgotten how to love until this whirlwind of a girl turned her life upside down. She wondered, then, if her mother would have liked Akko. She wondered what she would have said when Diana told her she was gay, or she might have already known like Akko's parents had. Would she like Akko's parents? Although this was a happy moment for her, Diana couldn't help but feel saddened thinking about all the happy moments she could have shared with her mother if it weren't for the cancer. That's why finishing school was so important. If she could help even just one person save those moments with their loved ones, it would all be worth it.
"Hey, Diana?" Akko asked hesitantly, waving a hand in front of the blonde's face.
"Oh." Diana blinked a few times and shook her head slightly. "I apologize, Akko. I was somewhere else for a moment." The brunette must have seen the sadness in her eyes, because she wore a look of concern. Akko reached out and took the blonde's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"You okay?"
"Yes, Akko. Thank you." Diana squeezed her girlfriend's hand back. "So where are we going now?" She asked, her voice a little louder now so that Akko's parents could hear her.
"To the Hilton please, Diana. I'm afraid we must turn in for the night." Akemi said reluctantly.
With a silent nod, the blonde started the car and began driving toward the mentioned hotel while her girlfriend kept a close eye on her for a good couple of minutes. After growing bored, or becoming satisfied that Diana was, in fact, okay, Akko turned her head to look at her parents.
"So how long are you staying?" The brunette asked, hopeful that she could see them again the next day.
"Unfortunately I have a meeting tomorrow morning, Akko." Haruto spoke up, voice regretful. "I'm sorry we could not be here to celebrate your birthday."
Diana ears perked up at this. Akko's birthday? Had she been such a terrible girlfriend that she had never asked when her birthday was? And it was close by the sounds of it. 'Oh god, what if it was tomorrow?' She internally screamed. What was she going to do? She couldn't just ask Akko, she should know these things. The blonde's face twitched, daring to give away her struggle. She forced herself to remain cool and collected and listen to the rest of the conversation. She glanced over at Akko, her face was crestfallen, clearly sad that her parents were leaving so soon. She must have missed them dearly.
"Oh, hey, that's okay. I know how the business goes." The brunette flashed a sad smile at her parents and then at Diana. "I'm just glad I got to see you guys tonight." Her smile became a little happier at the last words.
The car fell silent once more for a few more minutes until Diana slowed down and parked her car in front of the Hilton hotel. All four occupants exited the vehicle and gathered on the sidewalk. The blonde felt a little awkward as the family was saying their goodbyes. She stood a few feet away, shuffling on her feet and looking at anything but the sad farewells. Until she heard someone say her name.
"Haruto, Akko, I need just a minute to speak with Diana." Akemi stepped back and turned toward Diana, who's eyes had grown wide. Akko followed suit with her own eyes.
"Akemi, you'll play nice now, won't you?" Haruto joked, earning another glare from his wife as she began walking over to where the blonde stood.
The comment didn't help quail the fear that was quickly growing inside of Diana, it did the opposite. Her hands began to fidget and she started to sweat. Her mind raced, coming up with every single reason as to why Akko's mother would want to speak to her privately. There were the obvious instances that stuck out, making out with her daughter in the middle of a celebration on the hockey field? Being caught with her daughter in a very compromising position in a bathroom stall? Okay, Akemi couldn't be sure that that's what they were doing, but it had sounded like she had guessed correctly anyway. What if she thought that Diana had corrupted her daughter? What if they didn't approve of her? And she was going to politely ask her to stay away from her daughter? What if…?
"You seem to be distracted, Diana."
Diana jumped a bit at the voice that was now very close to her. Her eyes locked onto Akemi's kind crimson ones for a moment before searching for Akko and her father, who were now farther down the sidewalk giving the blonde and older woman some privacy. Diana visibly swallowed as her gaze again returned to Akemi.
"I'm sorry, it's been an overwhelming night to say the least." The blonde breathed out, giving away her nervousness. Like with Akko, she couldn't seem to keep her composure when talking to the brunette's mother.
"It has, hasn't it." Akemi chuckled. "I must tell you, though, that Akko is our daughter and as you can imagine, all we want for her is to be happy. And you obviously make her very happy, Diana." The woman smiled warmly at her, making Diana's nervousness fade a way a bit. "But I have developed a few questions throughout the night that I would like answered, honestly." Akemi's warm smile turned into that stern motherly stare that Diana had seen earlier in the night. The tension that had faded away from the blonde came back in full force.
"Y-yes, I'll gladly answer a-any questions." Diana winced at her own stuttering.
"Okay then. First question. What are your intentions with my daughter?" The older woman stared at the blonde expectantly with her eyebrows raised.
"I...excuse me?" Did Diana really just hear that correctly?
"What are your intentions? You are rich and successful. You could probably have just about anyone you want. If you are are simply using my daughter to put another notch in your belt-"
"Excuse me?!" Diana said a little louder, voice now growing more confident. "I am doing no such thing with your daughter Mrs. Kagari. You don't even know me. How could you even make such an absurd assumption?" The blonde had unknowingly taken a step forward and was now towering over the smaller woman.
"So...your intentions?" The unflinching woman asked again, lips twitching and an eyebrow arched.
"My intentions are to stay with Akko. She is the only one I want...the only one I love. I am so in love with your daughter." The blonde's voice was more calm now, desperate even.
"You love my daughter?"
"Yes!"
"And you want to stay with her?"
"Yes!"
"For how long?"
"For forever!" Diana said without thinking just like the other answers. But this had bigger implications. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth fell open. The rapid fire style interrogation had caught her off guard. She wanted to stay with Akko forever. She had come to that realization before, but somehow saying it out loud was much different. Was it wrong to think that way after only knowing someone for less than two months? The pain she had felt being away from Akko for just two weeks was almost unbearable. And she never wanted to feel that way again. Of course she'd want to stay with her forever.
"Good answer." Akemi praised with a smirk. When Diana remained silent and in shock, the woman continued. "And my little Akko has some good taste. I couldn't have picked anyone better myself for a future daughter-in-law."
"What?" The blonde ended her silence with an undignified squeak as she spoke. "T-that...That's...let's not...uh..."
"What? You don't want to marry my daughter?" Akemi asked, eyebrows furrowed and a finger jabbing into Diana's chest.
"Of course I do! I just-"
"Well, okay then. That settles it." The older woman nods sternly and begins to turn around but stops halfway. Turning her head to lock eyes with Diana once more, a warm and amused smile graced her features before she spoke. "Welcome to the family, Diana." Akemi turned fully now and walked away from the shocked blonde to return to her family.
"What in the hell just happened?" Diana whispered to her self as she watched Akko's mother's retreat.
She stood frozen as she locked eyes with Akko. After noticing her girlfriend's shock, the brunette eyed her mother suspiciously before saying something that Diana could not make out. And to Diana's amusement, it seemed that Akko began to scold her own mother in the blonde's defense. It didn't seem that it was having the effect that she intended, because Akemi had a hand over her mouth, most likely trying to hold back laughter. But Diana found Akko's actions sweet and endearing. After watching that, the blonde had almost forgotten about the bewildering exchange with the older woman. Almost…
"Diana!" Akko called to Diana and gestured for her to come and join the family. The blonde relented and made her way to them.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Diana. I hope I can trust you to take care of our daughter?" Haruto smiled and held out his hand to which Diana took it and shook firmly.
"Of course sir." The blonde replied with a toothy smile.
"I don't need someone to take care of me." Akko grumbled and folded her arms defiantly.
"Of course not dear." Akemi chuckled and patted the brunette on the back. "But it seems that we need to find someone who will keep you two out of bathroom stalls." The woman winked at them.
"Oh my god, okaasan!" Akko whined and covered her face in embarrassment before she grabbed Diana's hand and began to drag her toward the BMW.
"Oh come on, Akko. Your father and I were your age once, we understand!" Akemi called out, laughing.
"Please stop talking!" The brunette yelled without looking back, face growing more red by the second.
"We love you, Akko!"
"I love you too but I'm leaving now!"
"Good to meet you Diana!" Akemi yelled.
Diana stopped and turned around to wave, only to be nearly pulled over as Akko had not stopped and still had a tight grip on her hand. This time, it was Akko who opened the door for Diana, but it was to ensure a quick getaway rather than a sweet gesture. After the blonde sat down in the driver seat, the brunette nearly ran around the car and got in quickly. She looked back and saw her parents still standing there, Akemi doubled over laughing and Haruto pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I'm so sorry, Diana. I don't know when she got so...embarrassing." Akko covered her face again and groaned.
"Akko..." Diana said as she giggled. When the girl just groaned again, the blonde reached over and pried her hand off of her face and took it into her own hand, interlocking their fingers. "Akko..." She said again softly. When the brunette finally opened her eyes and looked at her, Diana brought her hand up to her lips and kissed Akko's knuckles. "Your parents are lovely. And a little crazy." She held up her other hand showing a tiny space between her thumb and pointer finger, making her girlfriend giggle and relax a bit.
"So what did she say to you?" Akko asked softly as she traced Diana's knuckles with a finger from her free hand.
The blonde froze, and although she kept her expression neutral, her girlfriend noticed how her muscles tensed suddenly.
"Oh god, what did she say?" The brunette asked once again, this time with a horrified look on her face.
"Nothing bad. I promise." Diana replied, voice an octave higher. "Just...maybe we shouldn't talk about it?" 'If only she knew, she'd probably run in the opposite direction and never come back' the blonde thought to herself. How could she let herself be baited like that? If Mrs. Kagari would excel in any profession, it would be interrogation.
"Oh."Akko nodded her head slowly, narrowing her eyes a bit. "If you say so. I guess I can just get it out of my mom the next time she's drunk." She shrugged and smirked when Diana's face paled.
"You...that isn't fair, you know." The blonde crossed her arms and huffed.
"Are you...pouting?!" Akko leaned over toward her girlfriend to get a better look. When she saw said pouty face, she sighed. "God, you're even sexy when you pout. How do you do that?" She said seductively into Diana's ear and then nibbled. The brunette could see her girlfriend shiver and feel the warmth suddenly radiating off of her now blushing face.
"I haven't a clue." Diana replied shakily while pushing Akko away from her. "I think we need to get out of here before you make me do something indecent in public again."
"Wasn't it...my turn to be the indecent one?" The brunette locked eyes with the blonde and bit her bottom lip, the other half of her mouth turned up into a mischievous smile.
Diana looked away as quickly as she could, her jaw tensed and her hands gripped the steering wheel so tight that her knuckles were completely white. Her eyes closed and her chest heaved with deep breaths as she willed herself to calm down.
"You're going to be the death of me, Atsuko Kagari." Diana finally mumbled, making her girlfriend giggle. "So where are we going? My place or yours?"
"Ooooh. So eager." Akko stated playfully, to which the blonde rolled her eyes and let a small smile peak through. "How about neither." When her girlfriend raised her eyebrows at her, she continued. "I know a place we could go to...hang out. Just the two of us. No surprises, no interruptions. What do you say?"
"I say yes, please."
"Yay!" Akko clapped her hands together quickly.
Other than the brunette giving directions to Diana, the drive fell into a comfortable silence. Akko played with one of the blonde's hands, tracing the indents on her palms with her finger. The narrowing road began to climb up a small...mountain? It was small for a mountain, too big for just a hill. Diana easily maneuvered the vehicle around s-curves and switchbacks as they slowly made their way to the top. Akko told her to turn before they got to the top, though. The one lane road curved back and forth, thick forest resided on both sides until suddenly they came to a grassy clearing. Diana drove slowly, noticing a makeshift parking area and stopped the car in what she felt was an appropriate spot. Akko got out immediately, taking her heels off and tossing them onto the floor of the passenger's side of the car. The blonde slowly got out and looked around before Akko grabbed her hand and led her toward the edge of the clearing. As they moved closer, Diana could start to make out the city below them. The lights gleamed in the darkness, shimmering and dancing around beneath a cloudless night sky. The sheer beauty of the sight took her breath away as they slowed to a stop. The brunette leaned her head on Diana's shoulder and hugged her arm tightly as they silently took in the picturesque view for a few more moments.
"It's amazing right?" Akko turned and set her chin on Diana's shoulder, now setting her gaze on an even more beautiful view.
The blonde didn't reply. She only turned her head and locked eyes with deep crimson. The sheer love and compassion she found in those eyes nearly brought tears to her own with the happiness that suddenly flooded her entire being.
"You're amazing, Akko. This view could never compare." She said, causing Akko to blush and smile shyly, then she hid her face in the crook of Diana's neck.
"You can't just...say things like that! How are you so good at flustering me?" The brunette's mumbles were slightly muffled by the skin on her girlfriend's neck, but Diana could hear every word clearly.
"You make it so easy." The blonde chuckled softly, drawing mindlessly on Akko's back with her fingers, with the other hand on her waist holding her close. A long moment passed before Akko spoke again.
"Will you sit with me?" She asked, lips brushing against Diana's jawline before she began placing soft kisses along her jaw and down her neck.
"O-on the grass?" The blonde gasped as Akko bit down lightly on her pale skin before leaning back to look Diana in the eyes.
"Yeah. Is that a problem?" The brunette arched her eyebrow.
Diana glanced down at the ground and then at her pristine suit with a grimace. But suddenly her eyes lit up as an idea struck her.
"Wait here. I'll be right back." The blonde pulled away from Akko and turned to walk toward her car. The trunk popped open as she approached, and after grabbing something quickly and closing the trunk, Diana was back with her girlfriend in a flash, holding up the object with a proud smile.
"You drive around with a blanket in your car?" Akko asked with her eyebrows raised.
"Well, yes. It's for emergencies." The blonde replied as she began to spread the blanket out in front of where they stood.
"Oooh." The brunette nodded slowly as she watched her girlfriend finish tugging at the blanket to get out any wrinkles. "So the emergency now is that you don't want to get dirty?" She smirked at the glare she earned from the blonde at that assumption. But her gleeful smile disappeared when Diana's glare turned into mischievous grin. "W-what?" Akko stuttered as her girlfriend stood up and took painfully slow steps toward her, swinging her hips and her usual sexy manner. The brunette swallowed thickly and cleared her throat before looking down at the ground, finding a particularly interesting rock. But her reprieve didn't last long as she felt two fingers left her chin, forcing her to gaze upon those azure pools she has drowned in so many times before. But any thoughts that previously occupied her mind were swept away, along with her ability to function properly, due to what she heard next.
"Would you like me to show you just how dirty I can get?"
Now whether is was the happiness she felt, or that painfully short skirt her girlfriend wore, or the most likely proponent, the repressed sexual tension from the past few weeks, Diana knew she probably shouldn't have said that. It was so unlike her to make those kind of statements. What has this girl done to her? She had become so comfortable with her, so addicted to her touch already. They had just reunited a few hours ago and Diana had already pictured countless ways she wanted this night to end, and wondered how fast she could get Akko out of that little black dress. This girl really was, in fact, going to be the death of her. And now she looked down at her girlfriend who looked utterly shocked. Eyes wide, opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water. A little more teasing won't hurt.
"No?" She asked as she arched her eyebrow, attempting to keep a straight face. "Your loss then." Diana shrugged and pulled her hand away from Akko's chin before sitting down on the blanket, straightening her legs out in front of her and leaning back on her hands. Once again she looked out over the lights of the city, but after minutes of silence and lack of movement from the brunette, she turned her head and glanced at her still frozen girlfriend. She had broken Akko it seemed. Oops. "Akko, are you okay?"
"Fine!" The brunette squeaked out too quickly before clearing her throat and repeating, "I'm fine."
"Will you come and sit with me?" Diana patted the spot next to her as she asked. But when she was met with silence and nervous hesitation, the blonde grew concerned that maybe she had gone too far. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself when Akko moved toward her.
Instead of sitting next to Diana in the spot she had patted with her hand, the brunette knelt down, straddling the blonde's thighs, and sat. Her expression was inscrutable for a long moment and Akko searched Diana's eyes for something the blonde couldn't understand.
"I missed you so much, Diana." She finally stated softly with a shy, loving smile. "I felt so empty without you. And now..." She paused, chuckling quietly and gazing down at her hands. "This is like a dream, like I'll wake up at anytime and you'll still be gone."
"Akko..." Diana said as guilt washed over her. She cupped Akko's cheeks with both hands, causing the brunette to look up into her eyes again. "I assure you that this isn't a dream. I regret ever thinking that we would both be better on our own when I left. I was so wrong, and I'm so sorry for making you think that anything could be more important to me than you are." She pulled the brunette in and softly kissed her lips before pulling back. "You deserve so much better than that, and I'm going to try my best to-"
Diana was cut off by Akko's lips in another, more fervent, kiss. The blonde dropped her hands to the brunette's waste and Akko wrapped her arms around Diana's neck as their lips found a passionate rhythm for a few moments before the brunette pulled away breathing heavily and rested her forehead on her girlfriend's.
"Don't ever think you aren't enough. Because we were both to blame. But you're here with me now and that's all that matters. I love you, Diana." Akko whispered breathlessly.
"I love you more." Diana replied and smiled against her girlfriend's lips, making the brunette pull back and giggle. "So now what?"
"Hmm..." Akko hummed, feigning contemplation before flashing a brilliant smile. "I can think of a few things." The brunette pushed Diana's shoulders, making her fall back onto her back.
"Ak-" The blonde started in surprise before being cut off again by Akko's lips crashing into hers. Immediately their tongues clashed in a power struggle. The brunette shifted her weight so that one knee was resting in between Diana's thighs and slowly began to grind against the blonde's core, making Diana moan into Akko's mouth. The brunette pulled on the blonde's white shirt until it was untucked and slid her hand underneath, but before it could reach it's destination, Diana pulled her head back and took hold of Akko's hand. "Wait..." She said through labored breaths.
"What?" The brunette asked, confused, as she tried to catch her own breath.
"We can't do this here. What if somebody sees us?"
"Diana there's nobody here." Akko stated, a little frustrated at the sudden break in action.
"But...Akko!" Diana whispered loudly in surprise as her girlfriend began unbuckling her pants.
"Hmm?" The brunette replied with the most innocent expression she could manage after just unbuckling someone's pants. When the blonde just stared at her, clearly struggling internally at this point, Akko crawled up so she was looking directly down at Diana. "I owe you, remember?" She said with a smirk.
"I was teasing when I said that." The blonde said flatly.
"Not my fault. You started this..." Akko paused to lean down and trace her tongue along the shell of Diana's ear. "And I'm going to finish it."
She was met with a quiet whimper but no objection so she slid her hand down the blonde's neck, to her collarbone, past her chest and abdomen and then finally delving it's way underneath Diana's pants and underwear. The blonde immediately gasped and closed her eyes tightly. Akko began placing kisses and biting lightly at the skin on Diana's neck, causing her whimpers and moans to grow louder. Suddenly Akko was pulled into a fierce kiss to muffle what would have no doubt been a loud cry of pleasure as the blonde's body writhed and shook.
When Diana had relaxed, Akko slid her hand back up and rested it on her girlfriend's stomach before giving her one last soft kiss. She then laid down next to Diana, nuzzling her face into the crook of the blonde's neck as the blonde's arm wrapped around her. For a while they laid in silence, taking solace in each other's presence. Both girls breathing becoming normal again.
"You exhaust me, Akko." Diana finally broke the silence with a tired, raspy voice. Akko let out a snort and giggled.
"You're welcome." The brunette replied smugly, making Diana roll her eyes and chuckle softly.
"Akko?"
"Yeah?"
"When is your birthday?"
"You...don't know when my birthday is?"
"I'm sorry. I don't."
"What kind of girlfriend are you?"
"Shut up."
"Heh heh. I'm never going to let you live this down."
"I figured."
'Knock knock knock'
Diana put a bookmark in her book and set it aside before she stood up from her couch. Hannah and Barbara, who were sitting on the couch with her and watching their favorite TV show, looked at each other in confusion as to who could be at their door. They knew that Akko had been busy this morning, otherwise she would most likely be with Diana already. The girlfriends had spent almost every waking moment together the past few days since they reunited. They both got up and peeked their head past the wall where the door was in full view. The blonde unlocked the door and opened it.
"Sup princess."
"Hello, Amanda." Diana said with a sigh.
"Geez, try to hold your excitement in, will ya? You're the one who invited me over." Amanda replied with a grin.
"So I did. Please come in." The blonde moved to the side and allowed the redhead to cross the threshold into the apartment before shutting the door behind her.
"Amanda?!" Hannah shrieked as she spun around, now facing away from Amanda, who looked shocked at the sudden shrill sound. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming over?" She asked angrily as she disappeared into the hallway.
"Uh..." The redhead was speechless for a moment at the sudden angry exit. She looked to Diana and Barbara for answers. While the blonde looked just as clueless as Amanda, Barbara just shrugged.
"She hasn't put her makeup on yet."
"Wha..." The redhead said with furrowed eyebrows before shaking her head and turning to Diana once more. "So why did you ask me to come over?"
"Oh. Right." The blonde said nervously, her hands fidgeting in front of her. "Why don't you sit down."
Amanda narrowed her eyes, eyeing her suspiciously and she moved to the couch without a word and Diana followed.
"I wish to do something for Akko's birthday." The blonde stated, not making eye contact with the redhead.
"Oh, so you need help with birthday present ideas or something?" Amanda asked with her eyebrows raised.
"No, I have already purchased a gift for her."
"Okay..." The redhead nodded slowly and waited for Diana to continue. But when the blonde stayed silent, Amanda continued. "Do you want to take her out somewhere...or…?"
"No, it's not that."
"Look, you're going to have to give me a little more to go on here." The redhead stated, frustrated.
"I know, I just...I just don't know..." The blonde growled at herself and put her hands over her face so her next words were too muffled to be understood. "I..nt..y..to..each..e..ow..to..ve..ko..a..ap..nce."
"Um...could you try that again with your hand down? I have no idea what you just said."
"Ugh. I want you to teach me how to give Akko a lap dance!" Diana raised her voice significantly and said it so fast that Amanda almost couldn't understand what she said again. Almost…
"You...want me to do what now?" The redhead replied with her eyes wide.
"You want to do what?!" Barbara added in shock.
"WHAT?! Ow! Shit! Mascara in the eye! Oh my god it burns!" They heard Hannah shriek from her room.
The three girls in the living room grimaced at the auburn haired girl's shouts.
"Okay okay. So...this...is like the last thing I'd ever expect you to do." Amanda said, turning her attention back to Diana.
"I know! And I don't even know why I want to do it, but...I just do. Can you help me or not?" The blonde pleaded.
"Is this revenge for the lap dance she gave you when you two first met?" Amanda inquired seriously with an eyebrow raised.
"...maybe a little bit." Diana answered, her lips twitching from the smile threatening to break through.
"Great! I'll do it. Let's get started!" The redhead clapped her hands together, making the blonde jump. Amanda stood up and jogged to the kitchen, returning with two chairs.
"Wha...right now? Why is there two chairs?" Diana asked nervously.
"Well, Hannah can sit on this one," Amanda pointed at the chair in front of her. "and Barbara can sit in that one." She then pointed at the one in front of Diana.
"M-Me?" Barbara stuttered, looking at Diana in horror.
"I'm sure you wouldn't mind being Diana's guinea pig would you?" Amanda raised her eyebrows at the black haired girl questioningly.
"I...okay. Yeah, just to help Diana out. Sure." Barbara slowly made her way over to the chair and gingerly sat down, clasping her hands in her lap.
Just then, Hannah walked into the room and stopped when she saw the odd set up.
"What's all of this?" She gestured toward the chairs.
"I'm teaching Diana how to give Akko a lap dance. You and Barbara are our guinea pigs." Amanda flashed a wolfish grin at Hannah.
"I see." The auburn haired girl stated, eyes flickering between the three other girls in the room. Without another word, she moved forward again and sat in the unoccupied chair.
"Okay, first of all, you need to pick a good song that'll set the mood. Do you have anything in mind?" Amanda pulled out her phone and began to go through the music she had.
"No. I don't." Diana replied as she walked over to where Amanda stood, looking over her shoulder.
"Hmm..." The redhead hummed as her thumb swiped up a few times. "Oh. This one. This one is perfect! Do you have a speaker or something?"
Diana nodded and led her over to where she could hook her phone up to the surround sound. Amanda started the song and a slow seductive melody filled the room. Nervously, the blonde took her place in front of an equally nervous Barbara. Diana mouthed 'sorry' to her friend before the redhead spoke.
"So do you...dance at all?"
"I..." Diana's eyes flickered to her two friends in the chairs before her gaze landed on Amanda again. "Only in the privacy of my own bedroom."
Hannah and Barbara's jaws dropped at the admission.
"Well, that's better than nothing. I would suggest you drink a little beforehand, that usually helps with the nerves. So do you ever feel sexy?"
"What?" The blonde squeaked, face beginning to blush.
"Confidence is key. You need to be confident that you are damn sexy."
"But I...I've never felt-" Diana stuttered but was cut off.
"But you are Diana. You are sexy. Girls, isn't she sexy?" Amanda asked, smirking at the flustered blonde.
Diana looked at the girls in the chairs who were both nodding their heads vigorously at her.
"See you're se-" The redhead started.
"I get it, thank you." Diana said through grit teeth. "Be confident that I'm se….you know what, just...just keep going. What's next?" She asked, rubbing her forehead.
"Ooookay. So the most basic move, and a move that you will use the most, is just..." Amanda paused and straddled Hannah's lap and begin to grind. "Is just grinding your body against hers. Go ahead, try it out." She pointed to Barbara.
Diana and Barbara locked eyes and both visibly swallowed before the blonde took a deep breath and climbed onto the black haired girl's lap and put her hands on her shoulders. Diana looked up and away as she began to grind her body awkwardly against Barbara's.
"You're too stiff! Loosen up! Barbara, grab her hips and lead her. That's what Akko will do." Amanda advised as she climbed off Hannah, to the auburn haired girl's disappointment.
A fiercely blushing Barbara reached her hands out and put them on Diana's hips and closed her eyes.
"Oh god. Stop. Just stop." Amanda rubbed her tired eyes at the awkward sight and then held her chin in contemplation. "This is going to be harder than I thought it would be. Time to bring in reinforcements." The redhead walked into the kitchen and began checking the cabinets. "Where's your alcohol?"
"Amanda, it's ten o'clock in the morning." Diana looked at Amanda like she had completely lost it.
"So? What's your point?" Amanda shouted back without looking at the girls. "Oh, bingo! Nice, you got the good stuff!" She set two large half full liquor bottles on the kitchen table along with four shot glasses. "Alright, who's ready for a shot?!"
One hour later…
"Ahahaha...you..." Amanda snorted before continuing. "you...made her faint! Holy shit!"
"Amanda, this is no time...not the time." Diana drunkenly tried to chastise the redhead. "Hey, Barb, wake up." The blonde shook her a little more aggressively than she had intended and the black haired girl begin to slide out of the chair. "Oh shit!" The blonde shouted as she quickly hooked her arms underneath her falling friend while the two other girls in the room were doubled over laughing. "A little help here, please!"
"Oh, right." Hannah and Amanda wobbled over and take a place on either side of Barbara. "We should probably put her on the couch." Hannah said as she lifted.
"Yeah, good idea." Amanda replied as she lifted out of sync with the other two.
"Look, we need to lift at the same time." Diana said as she tried to lift once more out of sync. "Okay okay. So, I'm going to count to three. And then we lift."
"Do we lift on three or after three?" Hannah asked.
"On three."
"After three."
Amanda and Diana spoke at the same time.
"After three."
"On three."
They spoke again, only opposite.
"God this really shouldn't be that hard." Hannah sighed.
"On three. We lift on three." Diana finally made the executive decision. "One, two, three!"
They successfully picked Barbara up out of the chair and dragged her over to the couch, but misjudging the proximity, the back of Diana's leg hit the edge of the couch forcing her to fall over backward onto the couch, with Barbara crashing down on top of her.
"Oh shit, Diana! Are you okay?" Amanda shouted.
"I...yeah. The breath….knocked...I can't breath..."
The fall or the shouting awakened Barbara and she began to stir. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed the blonde hair in her blurry vision. She raised her head up a little farther and realized she was currently laying on someone. 'What is my hand holding onto? It's squishy.' She thought as she gave it a few squeezes. Her gaze traveled up farther to familiar blue eyes, and then it hit her like a dump truck. She was laying on top of Diana, and she was, indeed, squeezing her very good friend's breast.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Barbara screamed, making Diana scream as well until they both just stared at each other in drunken horror.
"You guys got any more booze? You're out." Amanda asked as she held up two empty liquor bottles.
