Chapter 19

The young couple quickly managed to gather all the scattered clothes and put them in the laundry basket where they belonged. They moved into their room next and after they had removed the harness, taken a shower and put on some fresh clothes, they were ready. They walked back into the living room where Korra's parents were already waiting for them.

The four of them chatted away their time while they drove to the airport. Tonraq told Korra to give him a call once they had found a nice place to start their business. And if they needed any help. His daughter had put in an order for a desk already so Opal would have a desk to do all the paper work at once they were ready to start.

After they arrived at the airport, had their luggage checked in and said their goodbye's, the Southerners went on their way. The young couple walked around the airport a little longer before they decided to go back home.

The days that followed passed by quickly. The young women enjoyed their freedom in the best ways they could. They had been making love on each possible place in the apartment. In every position that either of them could come up with and without holding back.

Asami woke up an hour or so after their last love making and found the spot next her to be empty. She looked outside the window and noticed it was close to dinner time. Damn… I fell asleep right after… her cheeks showed a deep crimson when she put a hand over her mouth yawning. Woopsie… she chuckled and slowly sat up straight. Relishing in the after glow that she still felt.

Slowly she got up and quickly put on her silk sleeping dress and her long dressing gown. The engineer combed her hair with her fingers and walked into the living room. She saw Korra sitting on the couch. Dressed in her usual sweatpants and sleeveless top. Laptop on her legs, an empty cup in one hand and the other being used to scroll down whatever webpage she was on. Naga was curled up next her on the couch. Snoring ever so slightly and with her belly up.

Asami smiled when Korra looked up from behind the device on her legs. "Hey…" her voice was soft and she walked into the kitchen.

"Hey… I figured you needed some sleep…" Korra said and winked.

Asami chuckled and after she poured herself and Korra a cup of tea, walked over to her girlfriend and settled comfortably next her. "Yes well… six times is quite a lot, don't you think?" she asked and sipped her tea.

Korra shrugged and snickered softly. "I didn't hear you complain… and you actually started the last three times."

"Pssssfffftt… yeah well, if you get me started, you can expect me to keep going." Asami smirked and put her empty cup aside on the coffee table before cuddling up close against Korra. Resting her head on her shoulder while they now both looked at the bright screen. "Found anything interesting?"

"Mhn… I did… some buildings look really promising…" she said and clicked on a few open tabs to show the different kinds of buildings she had picked out. They checked them together. They made a small list of things that their future house and garage had to fulfill.

It needed to have enough space. Preferably a garden. Close to the city center and easy to find. The third one seemed to be perfect. It even used to be a garage and still had two perfectly working automobile lifts installed. There was an office that would be perfect for Opal to work at. The next floor would be perfect for them to live. It had more then enough rooms and it was incredibly spacious.

"It's to perfect… there must be something wrong with it…" Korra said, her eyes narrowed at the screen in front of her.

"We can always go check it out? Nothing wrong with checking the place out, right?"

She looked from Asami to the screen and back, smiling. "Yeah, true… alright! I'll give them a call…" she said and dialed in the number that showed at the bottom of the screen.

"Good evening! This is Korra, I'm calling on behalf of the building that you have for sale? Yes, yes that's the one. Me and my girlfriend would like to…" she stopped mid sentence and blinked a few times. "O-oh? Really? Like now? One second…!" she put her free hand on her phone and turned to Asami. "We can see it tonight, if we want…!" she said excitedly.

Asami smiled brightly. "Do it…! Say yes!"

Korra cleared her throat before she removed her hand from the device in her other hand. "Well, yes, we can come over tonight. How about nine? That's fine? Very well then! See you later." She said and hung up.

Both women looked at each other for a few seconds before they both started to squeal like a bunch of high school girls at a fire ferret concert. Asami launched herself on top of Korra and they continued their girlish squealing and giggles for a little longer. Naga barking happily at her two silly owners. After about fifteen minutes of acting like dorks, they finally managed to rush to the bedroom to get changed, comb their hair and get ready. Their pet ran excitedly after them but ran towards the front door once Korra and Asami grabbed their coats.

The Southerner chuckled softly, grabbed Naga's leash and the three of them left the apartment. Korra put the address where they needed to go in her GPS and they were on their way before they knew it. Naga sat on Asami's lap who sat next Korra on the passengers seat.

After a short ride through the many streets of the city, they arrived where they needed to be. They decided to get out and check the building from the outside. There was a metal gate that surrounded the entire place and their future garage stood pretty much in the middle of it.

"It shows that there's still enough work to be done on the outside." Asami noted and turned her head slightly to look at Korra.

"Mhn, so it seems. It means that I can haggle on the price though, with a bit of luck." She turned her head as well to look at Asami and their eyes locked. "By the looks of it, it seems to be an older building. I think that the electric wiring will be in need of replacement." A grin showed on her face. "How good are you with rewiring babe?"

Asami raised an eyebrow. "Tsk… please honey… I'm good with pretty much anything. Mechanical, electricity, plumbing even."

Korra looked at Asami in disbelief. "Plumbing? You? Ha!"

"Hey, I lived on my own when I went to college. You can't just call a plumber in the middle of the night you know. So I taught myself everything I know."

The Southerner blinked a few times. A deep red spread across her face when she imagined Asami in some plumber outfit. "Heh…"

"What…?"

"Nothing!" she quickly broke eye contact and focused on the old garage in front of her. Naga let out a happy bark and hopped around in the layer of snow that covered up the streets.

Asami laughed and looked over her shoulder when she saw the headlights of a car. "Ah, I think that must be the person you spoke with on the phone."

Korra turned around and narrowed her eyes at the broad light of the headlights. "Yep, think so too." She looked around. There were hardly any cars outside at this time of day. The two young women and Naga walked over to the car after it had parked not far from them. A middle aged woman stepped out and smiled at them both.

"Good evening, I'm Yue." She said and shook Korra's hand first and then Asami's. "So who's the one I talked to on the phone?" she asked while they walked over to the metal fence. She pulled out a small key and unlocked the gate so they could walk through.

"Ah, that would be me." Korra said and raised a hand.

Yue chuckled softly and turned to Asami. "You're the girlfriend that she spoke of?"

Asami nodded and returned a smile. "I am, in deed. I'm Asami."

"Pleasure meeting you both, shall we get started then?" she asked and opened the door that would lead into a hallway. They stood in the middle of it and looked around. "the door on the right leads to the garage itself. The one on the left leads into an office of medium size. The door directly in front of us leads into the living area. From the living area, you can access the second floor. Where would you like to start?"

"Let's start with the garage." Korra said and Asami nodded in agreement.

They were lead into the garage where they immediately saw that there was quite some work to be done. Electricity wires hung pretty much loose and had no earth connection. Korra quickly picked Naga up before the ball of fluff would electrocute herself.

Asami stood closer to Korra while Yue had her back turned to the couple. "Nothing I can't fix…" she whispered and continued. "It's a good reason to get the price of this place down though. Wires are expensive and by the looks of it, everything needs to be redone. When we get to the second floor, we need to check the roof for leaks. That's another point that gets the price down."

Korra kept an eye on Yue and nodded. "I think I'll let you do the talking. I'm good with computers, that's it." she said and couldn't help but chuckle.

The more they saw from the place, the more excited Asami got. She saw so much potential in the place and Korra's heart swelled from her girlfriends enthusiasm. The second floor was indeed huge. There were three big rooms and a big living room with a kitchen. Korra noticed that, each time Asami noted something down on a small note block she had with her, Yue stopped speaking momentarily before she continued again.

Once the tour was done, they all got back to the hall of the first floor. "And? I hope it was something to your liking?" she asked noticed that Asami pulled out her note block.

"Well, there are some things that need serious work, including the electric wiring. Parts of the roof are unstable and show signs of water damage, which means that there are leaks somewhere. So a new roof is in order too." Asami started and continued the list of things that needed repairs or replacement. Both Yue and Korra looked impressed.

"Is… there an offer that you'd like to do on this place?" the real estate agent asked slightly unsure.

Asami smiled and nodded. "there is, but it won't be any where -near- the price that you're asking…" she scribbled down a number and handed it to Yue whose eyes nearly popped out of her skull.

"I… well…" she cleared her throat to regain her composure. "I shall give the sellers your offer and I'll contact you once I received word back."

Korra and Asami shook Yue's hand before saying goodbye and went back on their way again. They decided to go out to dinner since they haven't had anything to eat just yet because of their other activities earlier today. They went to Bolin's favorite noodle restaurant. It was open almost every day and you'd get a warm meal for a few Yuans. And more importantly, Naga was allowed inside too.

They settled at a table near a window and after they ordered food and drinks, Korra started to talk first. "So, how much did you eventually think it was worth?"

Asami smiled warmly at her girlfriend, her hands around the warm cup of tea. "A third of what they asked."

Korra blinked. "Holy shit… really? Are… are you sure? I mean…"

She put a gentle hand on Korra's before she continued. "I'm an engineer, a mechanic and can even on occasion, I'm a plumber. But most of all, I'm a business woman. Yes, I'm sure. The building is very old, along with the rest of the house. The roof needs replacement. The wiring needs replacement. The fuse box needs replacement. There's no heating in any of the rooms, nor air conditioning. All those things, they cost quite a lot of money. I'm sure that the owners are aware of that. If they're smart, they will accept the offer."

Korra couldn't help the grin that crawled on her face. "You're so hot when you talk all that businessy stuff… you should do that more often… when we're doing other things."

Asami's eyes shot open and her pale cheeks showed a dark crimson. She immediately turned into a stuttering mess. "K-Korra…! That's not… you shouldn't…! Oh you dork!"

They both started to laugh and Naga barked happily once. Their meal was served and they happily slurped their noodles. Korra picking out the small pieces of vegetables she didn't like and discretely put them in Asami's bowl. They continued to chat while Naga ate a small bowl of doggy food. After they had enough, they paid and went back home. It was already passed eleven o'clock when they finally got home.

They settled Naga on her doggy bed in the living room before they both decided to go to bed as well. After they both changed into their normal sleeping gear, they crawled under the thick covers and pelts. Korra being the big spoon and Asami settling comfortably against her girlfriend. The southerner kissed the engineers neck lovingly and tightened her grip around the former heiress just that little bit more. "I love you…" she whispered and she felt Asami shiver.

"I love you too Korra…" she said and turned around in Korra's arms. She moved both her hands to Korra's face and cupped her cheeks before kissing her lips tenderly. "I don't think I ever thanked you." She said, her voice hardly above a whisper.

"For what?" she asked and pulled the pale beauty flush against her form.

"Everything. For helping me when I was down. When I was cast out. Allowing me to stay in your home." She said with a smile. "You didn't have to do it. you didn't even know me. But I'm grateful that you did…"

Korra couldn't help but smile. "I'm very thankful that I met you. You helped me heal. You accepted me, even when you knew about my past. So in a way, we helped each other." She finished with a kiss on Asami's pink lips. "Soon, we'll start a new chapter. Together." The two women chatted for a short time before sleep finally took them.

A few days passed and they had heard nothing just yet from the real estate agent. Asami was getting nervous. Did I make a mistake…? Was the offer to low after all? No… no it wasn't. It was a fair offer for the garage. In the state it was in. She kept telling herself over and over again but she saw Korra's mood change with each passing day.

She didn't became hostile or moody. Instead, she became quiet and more often than not, she found the Southerner sit on the couch. Staring out of the window. Watch the snow fall down on the streets below.

It was four days after they had visited the garage with Yue and they had still not heard anything from her. They just had dinner and after they put everything into the dishwasher, Korra walked back to the usual spot on the couch and settled down on it. Asami took a deep breath and slowly walked over to her lover. She lowered down onto her knees and placed her hands on Korra's who looked at the engineer in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I guess I screwed up." Asami said on a soft tone.

Korra blinked. "What? How so? Why?"

"The garage? It's my fault…-"

Korra cut her off and held her hand up to stop Asami from going further. "No, that's not true. You knew exactly what you did when you made that offer. You gave her a list of things that were legit. Things that needed to be done. It's not your fault." She smiled warmly at the engineer and pulled her back onto her feet and onto her lap. One of Asami's legs on either side of her.

Asami returned the smile with one of her own. Her arms wrapped around Korra's neck when she kissed her lovingly. Hands moved under the hem of her shirt and started to stroke her back. She deepened the kiss, her tongue slowly moved passed tan lips and found Korra's. Asami couldn't suppress a soft moan when she felt fingertips dig into the muscles of her back.

Pale hands moved to Korra's short hair and held firmly onto the brown locks as they continued to kiss. She felt a familiar heat rise up below her waist and she broke the kiss to start again against the soft skin of Korra's neck. "Shall… shall we… mhn…" she wasn't able to finish the sentence properly when Korra's sucked on a particular sensitive spot of her neck. leaving a hickey.

"You were saying…?" she mumbled while purring and her lips locked onto another pale piece of skin, doing the same like before.

"Uhn… K-Korra… unfair…" Asami muttered and squirmed from her girlfriends touch. "B-bedroom…?"

"You're a mind reader… called it." she said but pulled Asami in for another searing kiss. This time, she was taking charge. Her tongue found Asami's and both women moaned sweetly into the mouth of the other. Instead of going to the bedroom however, Korra decided that the couch had to do for now and while her hands never left the engineers back, she turned both of them enough so she could push her girlfriend onto the couch. Herself on top.

Korra had already pulled up Asami's shirt, her lips around a pink nipple and her hand buried between pale thighs. The pale beauty rolled her hips slowly to meet Korra's thrusting fingers. The volume of her voice rose with each thrust. Her back arched each time she rolled her hips. She cupped Korra's face and pulled her up enough to kiss her. Deep and passionate. She eventually broke the kiss again and pushed her head against the armrest of the couch. "Ah… ahhhh… Korra…"

In the middle of it all, they heard Korra's phone go off. Korra stopped her movements for a moment which caused Asami to whine in disagreement. "D-don't stop…! I was… I was so close…" she complained. Korra grinned and continued right where she left off. Pushing her two fingers in as deeply as possible and felt Asami's walls clench around them.

The former heiress arched her back and cried out Korra's name in ecstasy. Relishing in the blissful feeling that Korra was giving her while the phone kept buzzing. It stopped after a few seconds and several seconds later, Asami's released washed over her. Korra laid on top of her and kissed the pale skin of her neck lovingly. Milking Asami's orgasm with a few more thrusts before she pulled her fingers out and sucked them off right in front of her lover. "Well miss Sato… you still taste as sweet as ever…"

Asami was still panting and rolled her eyes. Pulling in Korra for a swift kiss. She took a deep breath afterwards to try and steady out her breathing. "Mhn… my turn now…" she said and was ready to switch places when Korra's phone went off again.

"Hold that thought." Korra said and pulled her phone out of her pocket. She sat up straight with her back against the backrest of the couch when she put the small device against her ear. "Hello, this is Korra."

Asami smirked playfully and straddled Korra's lap. Her naked breasts in full view of the Southerner, who's face showed a slight pink. "Y-yes… I'm… breasts… I mean Korra! I'm Korra! Yes…"

Pale hands moved over pale breasts and Asami winked at her girlfriend before she leaned closer. Her lips found Korra's free earlobe and she felt her shiver. "Y-yes… w-we paid a visiiiiit… to the place y-yesss…"

Suddenly, Asami felt Korra stiffen and pulled back quickly. The pink on her cheeks had been replaced with a pale color and the engineer felt panic rise up in her stomach. Her eyes full of worry when she saw Korra nod occasionally and mumble an answer to the person on the other side of the phone. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, Korra hung up and turned her gaze to a worried Asami. She had covered up her breasts already and had moved from Korra's lap, to the spot next her on the couch.

"Who… who was it…? What did they want?"

"I… we… they… it's…"

The vixen cupped Korra's face and kissed her forehead lovingly. "Baby, take a deep breath."

Korra did as she was told and the color returned to her cheeks. "They… they accepted…!"
