The Blind Date AU pt. 7
Shelby was glad Christmas was coming. It was by far her favourite event to celebrate besides her birthday. Now that Thanksgiving was finally over, both Shelby and Audrey could start planning their Christmas together. Shelby was nervous, though. Her parents had invited both of them over for dinner. It would only be a small gathering, but it would also be the first time Audrey would meet her parents. She expected her Aunt Mable to be there with her youngest son since her oldest had already been married off.
Shelby had gotten into the full Christmas spirit, meaning she wore a Santa hat almost constantly. She had already taken the liberty of decorating Audrey's entire apartment. She hadn't done the tree, though. Shelby had saved that for them to do together. "Are you nervous about meeting my parents?" Shelby asked, hanging some ornaments near the top of the tree.
Audrey grinned as she attempted to untangle the Christmas lights. "Why would I be?" she asked, lying easily. Of course gaining the approval of Shelby's parents meant a great deal to Audrey. Although Shelby didn't seem to be the closest with her parents, their opinion of Audrey would definitely influence Shelby's view of her.
Shelby smiled happily, not catching the lie. "Good." she cooed, biting her own lip lightly. She wanted to kiss Audrey but she had already bent down and kissed her after hanging the last ornament… and the one before that… and the one before that.
Audrey looked up at Shelby from her cross-legged seated position on the floor. She puckered up her lips, receiving a quick and gentle kiss from Shelby. Audrey laughed to herself. She knew Shelby couldn't help it. "This is impossible." Audrey huffed, dropping the tangled lights and giving up.
Shelby knelt next to her, untangling the lights as quickly as she could. "I'm sure you couldn't have taken a few minutes to wind this up properly last year." she said with a sigh, her fingers threading the lights over and under.
Audrey watched, smirking slightly. She could have done it herself. She pulled Shelby up into her lap, feeling her hair and her back gently. Shelby was so concentrated on the lights it was as if nothing else existed. Audrey frowned slightly. The whole point of giving up on the lights was so she could get Shelby down there with her. "I never thought I'd say this, but pay attention to me." Audrey said, jabbing Shelby's side lightly.
Shelby jolted, quickly abandoning the lights and turning in Audrey's lap to face her. "You asked for it." Shelby said with a smirk. She peppered kisses all over Audrey's face, kissing her cheeks, lips, and forehead happily.
"Too much." Audrey whined softly, her face scrunching as she received the onslaught of kisses.
"Too much attention? Is there such thing?" Shelby asked with a grin.
"Maybe not for you." Audrey hummed, leaning in and kissing Shelby's lips properly. Shelby kissed back, her breath hitching slightly in her throat.
"Tell me about your parents." Audrey said suddenly, breaking the kiss. She really was nervous.
Shelby looked slightly shocked. "I don't wanna talk about my parents right now." she whined, leaning in and kissing Audrey's lips again.
Audrey kissed back halfheartedly. "Please?" Audrey said, meeting Shelby's eyes.
Shelby sighed. "You're nervous, aren't you?" she said, holding Audrey's hands in her lap and feeling over them gently.
"Pfft. No." Audrey said, looking at Shelby as if she had said something ridiculous.
"Then you won't mind meeting my parents with no prior knowledge of them?" Shelby asked, hiding a smirk.
"Fine. I'm a little bit nervous. Please just tell me. Where do they work? What do they like? Will they like me?" Audrey asked.
"My mom works at a sewing store and my dad was a mechanic until he messed up his back." Shelby said. "Mom likes sewing and crafts, dad likes cars. Mom used to make me a Halloween costume every year when I was a kid." she said with a smile. "They always said to me that I should do what I love and not worry about the money. That's what they did. Anyway, I have a good feeling… I think they'll like you quite a bit." she said, pecking Audrey's nose and standing up. She finished up filling the taller area of the tree with ornaments (since Audrey wouldn't be able to reach).
"And where do they live, exactly?" Audrey asked, standing alongside Shelby so she could wrap the lights around the tree. "I thought you said you grew up in Carson. Wouldn't they live near by?"
"No, they live in New York." Shelby said with a smile. "They always wanted to live there but they couldn't afford the move… So after the show I helped them out a little." she said, shrugging slightly. "I was thinking we could stay there over Christmas. See the snow." she said, not looking at Audrey as she started to wrap the tree with tinsel.
Audrey was surprised. The entire time she had studied and acted Shelby's character she had only ever seen the selfish side of her. Now that Audrey was in a relationship with Shelby it was as if a whole other aspect of her personality was being revealed. "You bought your parents a house in New York?" Audrey said, her voice showing her surprise.
"Well, not a house. It's an apartment just big enough for the both of them." Shelby replied.
Audrey watched as Shelby fixed the tree. "And you want us to stay in New York over the Christmas holidays?" Audrey asked.
Shelby nodded in reply. "I have our tickets already and I've booked a hotel room for a trip." Shelby paused. "Well…crap." she said with a soft laugh.
"You booked us a hotel room?" Audrey asked, a smile growing on her lips.
Shelby felt herself blush. "It was going to be a surprise but I didn't know how long I'd be able to keep it from you." she admitted, biting her lip and looking over at Audrey. "It's literally been one day."
Audrey laughed, moving in closer to Shelby. "We're going to New York!" Audrey said excitedly, beaming at Shelby. She kissed her lips with a grin. "I can't believe this. Thank you." she said, hugging Shelby tightly.
Shelby hugged back, smiling to herself. "The dinner with my parents is two weeks before Christmas, so we need to get there a few days before… Which means we're leaving in about a week." Shelby said.
"A week?! I haven't even started packing yet!" Audrey said. She went to rush away to her bedroom before being tugged back in the direction she had come from.
Shelby smiled, pulling Audrey back to herself and hugging her tight. "We have plenty of time." Shelby cooed. "Finish the tree with me. Come on." she said, releasing Audrey and pecking her cheek. She went back to decorating the tree.
Audrey sighed. She really was nervous. She had been with Shelby for almost three months. Shelby was one of the best things to ever happen to her. Audrey prayed that Shelby's parents would like her. She couldn't remember the last time she had been this nervous.
…
The flight was a little over five hours long. Thankfully, Shelby and Audrey were seated together. Shelby had gotten the window seat and she was quick to fall asleep under her blanket. Audrey lifted the armrest and moved in beside her, wrapping Shelby's arms around herself before holding around her waist and leaning against her. Audrey slowly fell asleep, satisfied with the warmth and contact she received from Shelby.
…
Shelby and Audrey had gotten settled into the hotel room quickly. The day before the Christmas dinner had come quickly. Audrey had bought a nice wine for Shelby's parents and Shelby had taken the liberty of making a pasta bake for the dinner. The sun had set, and before they knew it they were both tucked into the hotel bed. Shelby hugged Audrey loosely, feeling her fingers through the other woman's hair. "Still nervous?" she asked.
Audrey bit the inside of her cheek and nodded. "How could you tell?" Audrey asked, draping her arm over Shelby's waist.
"You're tense." Shelby replied, gently rolling Audrey forward onto her stomach. She knelt beside her, massaging her back gently. "I did a short degree in remedial and stress reducing massage therapy." she said, finding the knots in Audrey's back and delicately kneading them away.
Audrey let out a soft moan. "That feels good." Audrey barely whispered, another moan falling from her lips before she buried her face in her pillow.
Shelby felt her cheeks redden. She slowly worked her way down Audrey's back, cautiously straddling her so she could massage at a better angle. She worked her way back up again, noticing how Audrey's breathing sped up slightly. "Is this okay?" Shelby asked gently, slowing her massaging slightly.
Audrey nodded. "Wouldn't it be easier if I took my shirt off?" she asked, already starting to pull it up.
Shelby felt her cheeks flush pink as she saw the slight dip in Audrey's back as well as her slightly protruding ribs. She swallowed hard, pushing the shirt up the rest of the way before pulling it off the other woman. She continued massaging, prompting more soft noises from Audrey.
Audrey slowly relaxed into Shelby's hands. She wasn't nearly as tense as she had been before. She smiled to herself. Audrey was completely comfortable with Shelby.
Shelby noticed how Audrey's muscles softened. She gently moved her hands up and down the other woman's back, feeling her skin against her hands. Shelby had barely seen Audrey without her shirt, but she already felt short of breath.
Shelby had been nervous about this. She had been nervous about her first time with Matt, too. Not with Dominic, though. In her eyes, Dominic had been Matt. All she had to do was close her eyes and pretend. She hadn't felt the nerves she would have usually felt. Audrey was different to Matt, yet she was nervous for the same reasons. She hoped Audrey thought of her as attractive. She hoped that this would bring them closer. Shelby knew she wanted to give herself to Audrey. They loved each other. Shelby was completely serious about this relationship and she knew that sex wouldn't be the pinnacle of it. This didn't stop her from feeling nervous, though.
Audrey had been hopeful for a while now. She had gotten close like this a few times with Shelby, but the taller woman would quickly change her mind and decide to cuddle up and sleep instead. Audrey didn't mind, but she didn't like being given false hope. As their relationship went on, Audrey knew that it was exactly what she had been looking for. It was stable and comfortable, and she knew Shelby loved her. Her only worry was that because of her age, her body may not be up to standard. Audrey had been going to the gym to stay toned, but she was worried that it wasn't enough.
As Audrey felt Shelby's hands up her back, she knew the massage had ended. She didn't move, in fear that Shelby would stop and change her mind.
"You feel…smooth." Shelby said softly, still feeling Audrey's back. If there was any time or place to do this, it would be now. Their room had a view of the lights in the city. It was high up and they were on a big hotel bed. It was perfect. Shelby leaned down slightly, pressing her front to Audrey's back. "I…I think I'm ready." she barely whispered.
Audrey bit her lip. Both of them were nervous and it showed. Shelby slipped off Audrey, kneeling beside her. Audrey sat up, facing Shelby. She was glad she had worn a nice bra. Shelby blushed at the sight. She met Audrey's eyes before starting to pull off her own top. She placed her top onto the bed, not meeting Audrey's eyes for a moment this time. Audrey gazed at the newly revealed skin, her eyes wandering down Shelby's slim yet clearly toned figure. She reached out a hand to hold her waist before hesitating. She met Shelby's eyes. "May I?" Audrey half asked, her heart pounding in her ears and her stomach tossing and turning.
Shelby's cheeks were still pink as she held Audrey's hand and pressed her palm to her side. She leaned into the touch, moving closer to Audrey. She could have sworn Audrey could hear her heartbeat. Shelby watched Audrey's eyes closely as she carefully touched the other woman's side. As they both got used to the feeling of seeing and touching each other, both Shelby and Audrey grew a little more confident.
Audrey's hands ran up Shelby's back, slowly unclipping her bra and pulling it off. She watched Shelby's expression, making sure she was comfortable. Once Shelby's bra was off, Audrey unclipped her own easily, letting it drop. Shelby was visibly flustered as she looked at Audrey's breasts. She glanced up hazily at the other woman's eyes. Before she knew what she was doing she had knocked Audrey over and was kissing along her neck, her hands not daring to inch closer to her breasts; instead they sat safely on Audrey's rib cage. As Shelby pressed hot, open-mouthed kisses to Audrey's neck and jaw, the smaller woman moaned. Shelby whimpered softly at the sound, squeezing her legs together.
Audrey took Shelby's hands in her own and pulled them up to her own breasts. Shelby moaned against Audrey's neck, her cheeks flushed and her body trembling slightly. Shelby pulled back to meet Audrey's eyes. "Audrey you're... you're beautiful." she whispered breathlessly.
Audrey relaxed slightly with relief. She pulled Shelby down onto herself so they were chest to chest. "You weren't kidding when you said you stayed fit." Audrey murmured, feeling down Shelby's back and along her sides.
"Do...do you like it?" Shelby asked quietly. She just wanted Audrey to think she was attractive.
"Do I like it? Fuck yes. Fuck, Shelby. I knew you were hot but Christ." Audrey said, slipping her hands under Shelby to feel her breasts. She gently rolled Shelby onto her back, straddling her as she did. Audrey felt up Shelby's sides slowly, working her way up to her breasts. She felt along Shelby's taut stomach before leaning down and kissing Shelby's lips. Audrey was still a little nervous, but she put on an act. She always acted confident. She was good at it and it suited her.
Shelby was squirming slightly beneath Audrey. She looked up at her, her lips slightly parted. She slowly ran her hands up Audrey's sides. "Let me touch you." Shelby whispered, tugging Audrey down slightly.
Audrey wanted to ask if Shelby liked the way she looked without sounding insecure. "Do you think I'm hot?" Audrey asked, keeping her tone firm and even. She winked down at Shelby, feeling Shelby's heart beat faster under her hands. That was definitely a good sign.
Shelby whimpered, feeling Audrey's body almost eagerly. "I do." she replied, mustering up a smile. "I've never been more attracted to someone in my life."
Audrey felt her cheeks burn. She couldn't keep the act up much longer. She was always herself with Shelby. Audrey slowly sank down, laying beside Shelby. "Are you sure?" she whispered, the vulnerability evident in her tone.
Shelby kissed Audrey's lips delicately. "I am. You look amazing." she cooed. "I could touch you all day, Audrey."
Audrey smiled to herself, satisfied with Shelby's response. "Have you done this before?" she asked gently. "With a girl, I mean."
"I kissed a girl in high school." Shelby said, biting her lip.
"But you haven't had sex with a girl?" Audrey asked.
Shelby shook her head. She knew what felt good for her, but that was all she really had to work with.
"I'll take care of you." Audrey whispered, gently tugging down Shelby's pants. She tossed them aside along with her own skirt, straddling Shelby again. "Are you sure you're ready?" Audrey asked.
Shelby nodded up at Audrey, finding her hand and holding it. Audrey smiled, leaning in to kiss Shelby's lips. She kissed her slowly at first, taking her time. Audrey squeezed Shelby's hand lightly as she started to kiss deeper, the kisses trailing down Shelby's neck. "Make sure you tell me if you don't like something." Audrey said, her voice huskier than usual. She kissed along Shelby's collarbone, slowly making her way to her sternum. She moved her hands up to hold Shelby's breasts, massaging them lightly. Shelby moaned softly, still squirming beneath Audrey.
Audrey's kisses slowly trailed up to the sensitive area of Shelby's breast. She licked over it lightly, watching Shelby's expression. Shelby moaned, her back arching slightly. Audrey continued to lick, suck, and bite gently, doing the same to the other breast. She loved how receptive Shelby was.
Shelby could feel herself making a mess. She whimpered softly, her mind still hazy as she held the back of Audrey's head. "Please." she barely whimpered, hoping Audrey would get the message.
Audrey slowly moved down, kissing down Shelby's stomach and then her abdomen. She moved down further, kneeling between Shelby's legs and kissing along her inner thighs. Shelby felt her legs tremble and her core ache. "Audrey, please." she begged again.
Audrey obliged, circling a pointed finger over Shelby's folds. "You're soaked." Audrey hummed, clearly pleased with herself. Shelby whimpered loudly, pressing herself down against Audrey's finger. Audrey slowly pulled off Shelby's panties, circling over her folds again. She rubbed small circles against Shelby's sensitive spot, her fingers still wet from feeling through her folds. Shelby moaned, grinding against nothing as Audrey rubbed. "Do you want me to go in?" Audrey asked, looking up at Shelby.
Shelby nodded desperately. "Fuck, Audrey. Please. I need you inside me." she moaned.
Audrey felt herself tighten at Shelby's words. She gently pressed two fingers to Shelby's heat, pushing in slowly. Shelby let out a string of moans, pushing herself down onto Audrey's fingers as hard as she could. Audrey kept her fingers inside her as she crawled up to kiss her lips. "You feel so good." Audrey whispered, biting at Shelby's lip lightly as she started to pump deeply.
Shelby cried out with every pump, only moaning louder when Audrey's thumb pressed her sensitive spot. She tightened around Audrey's fingers. "Keep going." she panted. "That feels amazing."
Audrey loved how Shelby reacted. She loved the way she could barely keep her eyes open and how her lips stayed parted. She loved the moans and how wet she felt against her fingers. Fucking Shelby was definitely a huge ego boost for Audrey.
Audrey felt up Shelby's walls, pumping at an even pace. She curled her fingers as she started to pump more deeply. Shelby jolted slightly as Audrey's fingers brushed over her soft spot. There was something Matt hadn't done. When Audrey saw how Shelby jolted she knew what she touched. Audrey paid special attention to Shelby's soft spot, moaning as she felt the other woman's muscles tighten around her fingers. She pumped deeply before brushing over it again, keeping to the rhythm.
Shelby's moans grew louder and more high pitched. She felt close but she could barely find the words to tell Audrey. Audrey could feel how tight Shelby was around her fingers. "Let go for me, Shelby." she whispered into Shelby's ear. Shelby couldn't have held it if she tried. She came hard, her hips jolting against Audrey, rocking until she calmed down.
Audrey pulled her fingers out, laying beside a panting, whimpering Shelby. She licked her fingers, smirking as she did. "How was that?" she asked, wrapping her arms around Shelby's waist. The way Shelby had moaned her name echoed in her mind. She was so happy she almost felt delirious.
Shelby was still trying to catch her breath. She quickly cuddled up to Audrey, hugging her close. "That felt...That was...I've never felt like that." Shelby panted, burying her face into Audrey's chest as she hugged her.
"Are you trying to tell my I'm the best you've ever had?" Audrey asked with a smirk. Shelby nodded, resting against Audrey. Audrey's heat was aching. She was wet and horny but she figured she could take care of herself after Shelby fell asleep. Audrey looked at Shelby as she was still trying to catch her breath against her. She felt her small breaths against her sternum. "I love you." Audrey whispered, stroking Shelby's hair.
Shelby smiled to herself. "I love you too." she said softly, her hand sliding down to Audrey's hip. "Is it my turn yet?" she asked, recovering slowly.
Audrey grinned. "If you think you can handle it." Audrey cooed, still feeling through Shelby's hair.
Shelby smiled excitedly. "I want to make you feel just as good." she said, clumsily straddling Audrey. She chewed her lip. She hadn't done this before but she knew what she had wanted from Matt. He hadn't wanted to do it for her, much to Shelby's disappointment. Shelby felt along Audrey's body, copying what the other woman had done. "Can I try something?" she asked cautiously.
Audrey grinned up at her. She wouldn't deny it; she was excited. "Whatever you want." Audrey hummed, squeezing her legs together at the sight of Shelby.
Shelby slipped down to kneel between Audrey's legs. She was a little nervous, but she continued anyway. She pulled off Audrey's panties, tossing them aside before leaning down and kissing at her thighs. Audrey propped herself up on her elbows, looking down at Shelby. Audrey hummed happily, enjoying the feeling of Shelby's lips on her thighs. "Come on, you're making me ache." Audrey whined.
Shelby looked up to meet Audrey's eyes before wetting her lips. She leaned in and pressed her open mouth flush to Audrey's heat, licking and kissing as she did. Audrey moaned loudly. She hadn't expected that. She swore loudly, her fingers lacing through Shelby's hair and pulling her in closer. She grinded down against Shelby's mouth, feeling her wetness on the other woman's cheeks.
Shelby moaned as she held Audrey's thighs, her fingers making small dimples where she squeezed. She licked and sucked frantically, her tongue tracing along and between Audrey's folds.
Audrey pulled Shelby's head up slightly, making her lick her sensitive spot. "Fuck." Audrey cried out. "Right there." Shelby sucked hard at Audrey's sensitive spot, letting her teeth barely graze against it. "Oh, fuck, Shelby." Audrey moaned loudly. She was already close. At this rate she would finish in half the time Shelby had taken. That didn't mean she wanted to stop, though. Audrey held Shelby's head as she grinded. "I'm close." she warned breathlessly.
Shelby moaned against Audrey's folds. She licked and sucked quickly, doing her best to push Audrey over the edge. Audrey panted loudly before finishing against Shelby's mouth. She grinded against the other woman's face uncontrollably before relaxing against the bed. Shelby wiped her face on the sheets before cuddling up to Audrey. "Was that okay?" Shelby asked, slightly breathless.
"I have no idea where you learned to do that." Audrey panted. "But your mouth is perfect." she said, her fingers feeling over Shelby's lips. Shelby smiled, kissing at Audrey's fingertips. They held each other close, too tired to do anything more. The pair slowly drifted off to sleep, completely relaxed and at ease. Audrey just hoped that meeting Shelby's parents tomorrow wouldn't be a complete disaster.
...
The dinner seemed to flow relatively easily. Audrey liked the warm dynamic of Shelby's family. Shelby had explained that as long as her Aunt Mabel was seated away from her dad, there wouldn't be any issues. Both of Shelby's parents had been open to the idea of Shelby's relationship with Audrey. As Audrey had gotten more and more comfortable she started being her usual self, which although Shelby's family had been taken aback by at first, they quickly warmed up to the funny, witty blonde. As they left, both Shelby and Audrey were pleased by the outcome of the dinner.
"They liked you." Shelby said softly as they went back to their hotel room.
"I liked them." Audrey said with a smile, changing into pyjamas. "Maybe I should have met your parents before I acted as you." she said with a soft laugh, slipping into bed.
Shelby changed into a large Christmas sweater she had packed. She didn't put on any pants. Audrey had seen her so she didn't see the point in hiding. She crawled up into bed, curling up beside Audrey. "I feel so lucky." Shelby whispered. "I feel like this wasn't meant to happen, but just out of sheer dumb luck we ended up together." she said, looking up at Audrey who had wrapped an arm around her.
"Considering the fact that I wasn't very fond of you a few months ago, this is definitely dumb luck." Audrey said with a soft laugh. "I never would have imagined..." Audrey's words drifted off as she felt over Shelby's cheek. She leaned in and kissed her lips softly.
Shelby watched Audrey a while longer, leaning into the pets she received from the other woman. "I can't wait until Christmas." Shelby said quietly. "I have no idea what to get you." Shelby said quietly.
"All I want is you" Audrey cooed. "I know exactly what you'll want." she purred.
"Keep it a surprise." Shelby whispered, starting to drift off to sleep. Audrey watched as Shelby slowly relaxed against her before finally falling asleep. She smiled to herself, kissing the other woman's forehead before closing her eyes and drifting to sleep herself.
