Just found out I won't be around much after Christmas so I have to get a move on with these fics! I'm still gonna wait a bit for New Years to get closer before posting that one. Meanwhile, enjoy this filler chapter!

The Blind Date AU pt. 10

New Years Day was only a few days away now. Shelby and Audrey had been making the most of their time in New York. They had shopped and seen the sights but every time they got back to their hotel room they couldn't seem to warm up.

Audrey had come up with the idea to use the bath. Shelby's clothes had been soaked through by the snow which had stayed on the material and melted. She was shivering and shaking but she couldn't warm up. The same went for Audrey. They had raced back to their hotel room that day. The bathroom was the coldest room, but this would be worth it. Shelby took their clothes and hung them to dry, putting on one of the fluffy robes the hotel supplied. "I love this material." Shelby called out to Audrey, who had also worn a robe.

Audrey was in the bathroom drawing a bath. "Remind me to pack them in my bags when we leave." Audrey replied with a smile. When Shelby finished hanging up their clothes by the heater she made her way to the bathroom.

"Mm, is that the lavender bubble bath you bought before?" Shelby asked feeling up Audrey's back.

Audrey turned to face Shelby, wrapping her arms around the taller woman's waist. "It is. Doesn't it smell lovely?" she cooed, feeling along the open part of Shelby's robe. "Are you...not wearing anything under this?" Audrey asked, meeting Shelby's eyes.

"It's just us." Shelby said with a shrug, finding Audrey's hands and squeezing them.

Audrey smiled to herself, turning off the bath. "That only makes my plan better." Audrey said, letting her robe drop to the floor. She slipped into the bath, the bubbles hiding her body. Audrey laid back and looked at Shelby. "You always blush."

Shelby could feel her heart race in her chest. Every time she saw Audrey she got the same feeling in her stomach. Shelby took off her robe and sat on the other side of the bath.

"Don't be a stranger. Come. Sit in my lap." Audrey said smugly. Shelby was quick to oblige, slipping up into Audrey's lap.

"I'm bigger, shouldn't I be underneath?" Shelby asked, wrapping an arm around Audrey and resting her head against Audrey's shoulder.

Audrey laughed softly. Shelby had already gotten settled against her. "I like it when you sit in my lap." she hummed. Audrey rubbed Shelby's back lightly, moving the bubbles away so they wouldn't go into Shelby's face.

"This was a good idea." Shelby said, completely relaxed against Audrey. The warm water had hurt at first. She had been so cold it stung, but now she felt better.

"I know." Audrey said in a matter-of-factly tone. "This is much more effective than the heater, plus I get to feel you against me." she purred, feeling up Shelby's side. She loved feeling Shelby's skin against her own and she loved the way Shelby shivered slightly when she felt her.

"I like it when you touch me." Shelby murmured. "It's relaxing."

"Don't fall asleep." Audrey said, pulling Shelby up slightly. Shelby whimpered and Audrey sighed, continuing to feel her body. It wasn't in a sexual way; she had just wanted to touch her. Audrey slowly relaxed as she felt along Shelby's thighs. Everything about her was perfect. She couldn't understand why she hadn't seen it before. She felt Shelby slide down slightly against her. "Hey, wake up." Audrey said, shaking Shelby slightly.

Shelby whined softly. "But you're so comfy."

"I don't want you to drown." Audrey said, making Shelby sit up. Shelby breathed in sharply when she felt the cold air hit her wet chest. She turned to shoot Audrey a pout. "Don't look at me like that. You were sinking into the water." she said defensively.

Shelby huffed, cupping the bubbles in her hands and blowing them at Audrey.

"This is the thanks I get for saving your life?" Audrey asked with a laugh, wiping the little blobs of fluffy, white bubbles from her face. Her hair still held a few clumps of bubbles.

Shelby giggled when she noticed how the bubbles stuck to Audrey's hair. She blew more at her, gently this time.

Audrey wrinkled her nose as a small clump of bubbles landed on the tip of her nose. "That's it." she said, scooping up her own handful and blowing it at Shelby. She laughed when a particularly large clump landed in her hair.

Shelby laughed softly, crawling back up closer to Audrey, laying against her face down this time. "You're so beautiful...even with bubbles in your hair." Shelby said with a smile, looking up at Audrey and kissing her neck.

"You're so precious." Audrey whispered, holding Shelby close. She stroked down her back gently. Shelby relaxed into her happily, closing her eyes and resting higher than before. She was always content with Audrey.
