Chapter 11:

"Ok thank you for everything you've done for us." Glinda said as she hugged him as well.

"Like I said earlier, no problem. I'll see you later." Fiyero said before he turned to leave to the infirmary. "Good day!"

"I better go make sure he doesn't harass that poor nurse. I'll see you both later, and don't worry, things happen for a reason. Ridal will get what he deserves." Valina said before waving and running after Fiyero. "Hey your highness, hold up!"

"Elphie, lets go upstairs and just relax ok?" Glinda suggested when she turned to look at a tired Elphaba.

Once Elphaba looked into Glinda's clear blue eyes, all her stress about not making right by the blonde and her self blame slowly started to go away. She could feel herself getting lost in the smaller girl's eyes and found her self saying with a smile, "Ok my sweet, lead the way."

Once inside the room, Elphaba took off her boots and laid down on her bed, closing her eyes and sighing deeply. Glinda did the same thing with her heels and laid next to her green girlfriend. She could tell that the brunette was still tense and stressed about the day's events.

"Elphie sit up please." Glinda said as an idea came to mind.

"Huh? What do you need?" Elphaba said opening her eyes to see Glinda standing up.

"Please just sit up, I have an idea." Glinda said as Elphaba sat up and the blonde sat behind her.

"What are you doing?" Elphaba said as she felt Glinda massaging her shoulders.

"Helping you relax." Glinda said as she heard a small moan escape Elphaba's lips.

"I would normally tell you that this isn't necessary, but it feels too good, so I'm not going to fight you on this one." Elphaba said earning a giggle from the blonde. She closed her eyes and felt all the tension in her muscles go away.

Glinda kept working out the knots and kinks in Elphaba's neck, shoulders, and back until she felt the taller girl start to push back into Glinda's chest. She looked at Elphaba's face to see that she was slipping in and out of sleep.

"Elphie, lets lay down and take a nap." Glinda said gently moving Elphaba.

"Ok Lyndie." Elphaba mumbled as Glinda smiled at the new nickname.

Elphaba laid down on her back and wrapped her arms around Glinda who snuggled into her side, with her head on Elphaba's chest and arm around Elphaba's waist. Both girls were instantly asleep.

Glinda woke up from their nap in the same position as earlier and noticed that it was night time. She looked at Elphaba and saw how peaceful the green girl looked. She couldn't help but smile a little at how beautiful Elphaba really was, how protective she was, and how loving and caring she was after everything that happened between them. She was so busy thinking that she didn't notice when Elphaba opened her eyes and looked at Glinda.

"You know it impolite to stare." Elphaba said startling Glinda from her thoughts.

"Oh your awake. Sorry I was just thinking." Glinda said.

"What about? You seemed to be deep in thought." Elphaba said as she stroked Glinda's hair.

"Just about how beautiful you look and how beautiful you are on the inside." Glinda said with a chuckle as Elphaba blushed.

"Well if I'm beautiful then you're gorgeous, exquisite, stunning, magnificent..." Elphaba was saying until a pair of lips cut her off.

"Ok I get it, you think I'm beautiful." Glinda said with a smile after the kiss. "But I was also thinking about how lucky I am to have you especially how things were between us when we first met."

"That's in the past now." Elphaba said as she smiled softly and stroked Glinda's cheek. "I'm lucky as well to have you."

"Thank you for everything you've done for me." Glinda said with tears forming in her eyes.

"Glinda, you shouldn't be thanking me. I couldn't get the justice you deserve today." Elphaba said with sad eyes.

"You did all you could, its not your fault Morrible is a blind cow." Glinda said which gained a smile from Elphaba.

"I still think I could have..." Elphaba started.

"You did all you could." Glinda said sternly. "At least you tried, which is more then enough for me."

Elphaba starred into the blue eyes she first feel in love with and knew that Glinda was being honest. She didn't know what else to say to the blonde so instead she leaned in and gave Glinda a kiss that expressed everything. They would have kept on kissing if it wasn't for Glinda's stomach growling.

"Hungry are we?" Elphaba said breathlessly with a chuckle.

"A little." Glinda said with a slight blush.

"Come on, we'll get something from the cafe and bring it back here." Elphaba said just as a knock was heard.

Elphaba and Glinda looked at each other with confused faces. "Who is it?" Elphaba asked.

"Room service!" Answered the voice which both girls immediately recognized and made them smile.

"We didn't order any room service!" Glinda yelled back deciding to tease the other person.

"Come on, its heavy. Besides I brought dessert too." Said the voice which caused Glinda to rip the door open.

"Hey Fiyero, hi Valina. Come on in." Glinda said with a smile as the two walked into the room each carrying a tray full of food.

"So now you open the door huh? Because I brought food?" Fiyero asked.

"Of course not, we were just playing with you. We recognized your voice right away." Glinda simply said.

"Hello Valina and Fiyero, you know you didn't have to bring food with you to visit." Elphaba said.

"We know, we just figured you two hadn't eaten and probably didn't want to leave the room." Valina explained.

"Well thank you very much we appreciate it." Glinda said as Elphaba nodded in agreement.

Glinda conjured a small table with four chairs and the group sat down and ate while making jokes and generally having a good time.

After the meal the Fiyero and Valina talked about anything and everything, except for the one subject no one wanted to think about let alone talk about, Ridal.

"Well its getting late, I think I'm going to call it a night." Valina said standing up. "Come on genius, lets go."

"Who says I want to leave as well, mother?" Fiyero asked.

"I did. Now come on." Valina said tugging at Fiyero's arm.

"Fine. Goodnight Glinda, goodnight artichoke." Fiyero said with a chuckle.

"Goodnight straw for brains." Elphaba said with a smirk.

"Goodnight you two." Valina said with a laugh.

"Good night!" Glinda cheerfully said.

"They're funny together. They are always teasing each other." Glinda said when Fiyero and Valina left.

"Yes they are, which may be a bad thing considering all the names they'll probably call each other." Elphaba said shaking her head, all the while with a smile on her face.

The two girlfriends decided to clean up afterwards, which led Elphaba to taking the empty dishes to the hallway to be picked up and Glinda conjuring the table and chairs away.

"I'm beat." Glinda said after cleaning up.

"Why don't you get ready for bed then?" Elphaba suggested.

"That sounds good, I'll be out in a while." Glinda said before she left to the bathroom while Elphaba got out a book and began reading.

When Glinda was finished bathing and changing into her night dress, Elphaba took a bath and changed as well. Once she exited the bathroom she saw Glinda sitting at her vanity combing her hair. She watched the blonde for awhile just soaking in her features until he decided to make her presence known by walking up behind Glinda and wrapping her arms around her girlfriend.

"Hi Elphie." Glinda said with a happy smile.

"Hi Lyndie." Elphaba said which made Glinda smile as she remembered her newly acquired nickname.

"I like that." Glinda said as her stood up and turned in Elphaba's arms. "The new nickname you gave me."

"Well I thought since you made a nickname out of my name that I should make one out of yours." Elphaba said before she leaned down to give Glinda a kiss.

"Mmm... well I like it, and your kisses." Glinda said before wrapping her arms around Elphaba and drawing her into another, longer kiss.

"Its late and you said you were tired." Elphaba said as she slowly pulled away from the kiss.

"I'm not tired anymore." Glinda said, but no sooner did she try to stifle a yawn.

"Yes you are, come on." Elphaba said with a small grin and led the blonde to her bed.

Elphaba pulled back Glinda's frilly pink covers and let the smaller girl slide in before pulling the covers back up.

"Goodnight my sweet." Elphaba said after kissing Glinda on the forehead and getting up to blow out the candles and lamps in the room.

"You're not staying with me tonight?" Glinda asked with a pout.

"No, it wouldn't be proper." Elphaba said with a smile when she saw the pout on her girlfriend's lips. "Besides I'm right here if you need anything."

"What if I need you?" Glinda asked.

"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere." Elphaba said as she walked back and sat at the edge of Glinda's bed.

"Will you at least sing me to sleep?" Glinda asked as she grabbed Elphaba's hand to make sure the green girl wouldn't leave.

"Of course." Elphaba said as she leaned over and gave Glinda a small kiss.

"Come with me my love,
To the sea, the sea of love.

I want to tell you,
how much, I love you.

Do you remember, when we met,
That's the day I knew you were my pet.

I wanna tell you,
how much, I love you."

When Elphaba finished singing the song she saw that Glinda was breathing softly and the grip on her hand had loosened.

"Goodnight love." Elphaba whispered as she gently kissed Glinda's forehead before she went and blew out the lamps and candles.

When Elphaba finally laid down in bed she sighed and thought over what happened that day. She no longer blamed herself, seeing as Glinda didn't hold any blame on her and only saw that Ridal would get what was coming to him. She knew from now on that they would have to be careful when out in public, but she promised herself that she would try her hardest to protect her girlfriend. The thought of Glinda being her girlfriend made her smile and feel warm and happy inside, something she had never experienced before in her 18 years of life.

The thought of Glinda caused Elphaba to think about the song she sang to Glinda just moments before, and the meaning behind some of the words. One of the lyrics said, 'I want to tell you, how much I love you.'

'I know the feelings I have for Glinda are deep but do I love her?' She silently asked herself.

'Can you live without her?' Her mind asked her back. Ever since she was young she would have discussions with herself inside her head being that there really wasn't anyone else around to talk to.

'Of course not, she means everything to me.' She answered.

'Do you think she loves you back?' Her mind asked again.

'I don't know, it may still be too early in the relationship to call what we feel love.' She answered thinking of how Glinda might feel.

'Well you'll never know, until you go and find out yourself.' Her mind told her.

With that thought in her head Elphaba kept thinking that maybe it might be too soon to tell Glinda that she loved her... no that she was in love with her. But the possibility of the blonde loving her back and actually saying it, gave Elphaba butterflies in her stomach.

'I may not tell Glinda that I love her tomorrow or the day after that, but if I keep feeling the way I do now, I will definitely say it to her someday.' Elphaba thought in her head which caused a big smile to break out on her face.

Elphaba gave Glinda one last look and saw the peace on her blonde girlfriend's face. She closed her eyes and softly drifted to sleep thinking of all the possible scenarios of her and Glinda in the future.
