Warning: Sexual content ahead. Waaaheeey :)
Sophie woke up tangled in sheets, arms and legs. Needing a brief second to take in her surroundings, she instantly felt her heart drop. What was she doing there of all places? As she was trying to piece together the previous night, Sophie heard slight moaning from her bedmate.
"Morning," said Erinn looking at her alarm clock on the bedside table.
"Uh hi. What…" started Soph.
"Yeah, uh well, what DO you remember?" asked Erinn with a chuckle.
"Haha, I remember being outside of here, and I remember…" suddenly Sophie remembered most of the X-rated stuff that had happened between her and her ex. Erinn on her hands and knees with her ass up in the air waiting for Sophie to have her way. Erinn on top of Sophie and Sophie guiding her down her own body, right into the sweet spot. Sophie slowly and gently at first, eating out her ex girlfriend/ whatever she was, then gaining speed and fervor as Erinn got more and more vocal. Sophie couldn't help but smile.
Erinn at some point had uttered "Damn Soph, what's got into you," as Sophie flipped her over again and again, into different positions and several orgasms. "I'm not gonna lie Soph, that was really really hot last night."
"Ha well, you're welcome?" said Sophie trying to keep it light. She didn't want to think of Sian or any sense of dread she had about returning to the cobbles. She wanted to stay insulated in this bubble that she had tried so hard for years to contain herself in. Now that she was back in Erinn-land even for this brief moment, she wanted to relish it. Yeah it wasn't the same, but it was something. She had taken control, she had had Erinn asking and begging for more. Sophie felt proud of herself, even if it was all so so wrong.
"So what's this all about then?" asked Erinn getting up to use the loo.
Sophie looked at Erinn's nude body as she slipped on a shirt and went to pee with the door open. "Why does it have to be about something? Why can't it just be about this, and us?"
"Now now, I know you better than that Soph. You were upset. Is it your parents again?" asked Erinn flushing the toilet.
"Actually they are getting on famously now. You can't therapize me Erinn, if that's even a word," Sophie said over the running water of the faucet.
"Not sure about the word, but I know when you're upset. And it's not at me finally. There's a relief," Erinn said with a chuckle.
"Yeah it's nothing. Have you seen my phone?" asked Sophie sitting up looking for her clothes. She didn't want to leave, but she knew Erinn, she would be quick to have Sophie leave.
"Hey, don't get all distant with me Soph. If you don't want to talk about it… YET, maybe I can 'therapize' you the old fashioned way," said Erinn with a sly grin as she fondled Sophie's breast and straddled her hips.
Sophie smiled and yeah after the long crazy night they had had, she was ready for round 29 or whatever they were up to by then. "First let me plug my phone in and use the restroom. Then I'm all yours," said Sophie as she looked up to Erinn's blue-green eyes and then down to Erinn's breasts.
"Hurry it up Sophie..." and as Sophie gave Erinn a stern look as she climbed off of the brunette, Erinn added a sheepish "...please," at the end. Sophie blinked and then smiled at the redhead. "This is going to be a fun morning," Sophie thought to herself and she didn't waste time, she actually hurried.
Sian woke up in a fog of her dad's bourbon she had taken to drinking the night before. "How did it get so screwed up?" she thought. Sian wasn't the biggest control freak she ever knew, but with her newfound freedom she felt anxious when things weren't going according to her plan. She had never needed to make a plan, it was just get pissed/high/wasted then repeat. Easy and simple. "Real simple."
Sian got up to look at herself in the mirror. She had been crying a bit and wiped away the mascara that had run down her face. She decided a hot shower and maybe some food would help, but also the entire Irish Sea to drink. Sian went to lie down again and grabbed her phone. This as far as gutsy things in Sian's life wasn't much but she decided to shoot Sophie a text anyway.
To Sophie:
"Soph, can we talk please? Allow me to explain. A drink or some coffee. Please."
Sian hovered her finger over the send button. She had to make this right but she had to set it up so it wasn't some blow up on the street. She wanted to meet Soph and do this right. Clear the air. If they couldn't be together then they could at least be civil. Sian's stomach dropped when she thought of not being with Sophie. Of course her past would get in the way of her new life. If she would've told Soph originally this might have been different. But she didn't know if Darren was the same old Darren… "Ugh, stop second guessing." She hit send. Now all she could do is wait.
"I'm not so sure about this," said Sophie gathering up her socks and shoes.
"Why not?" asked Erinn grabbing her jacket and keys. "If I show up around the street with you, then I won't be so ostracized there. I can barely even set foot around there without getting dirty looks or whispers."
"One, I'm sure you're completely exaggerating. Two, I wonder why? You did all this, not me. I just liked you, that's all I did," reasoned Sophie. She hadn't been this clear headed about Erinn since well… ever. Sophie knew that this was just a distraction, she wasn't placing anything on Erinn, especially since she knew that it was going to lead to nowhere like it usually did, and also, she admitted to herself she wanted Sian. Without a doubt. She also admitted to herself that she had to get over it. Just as soon as one realization happened, the other came along in tandem. Why not allow herself some fun then? Especially with someone she was comfortable with, and someone who was so gagging for it.
Erinn couldn't help but blush a bit thinking of how confident and forceful Sophie had been with her for the past almost 12 hours. She could even get to like this side of Sophie more and more if she wanted to continue whatever this was.
"What? You have a weird look on your face."
"Oh nothing," a smiling Erinn said as she opened the front door of her flat. It wasn't raining yet so they both set off to walk back to Coronation St.
"Well you really don't have to walk me home, I mean we know each other, it's not like you paid me or anything," Sophie said with a giggle. This was so odd to her, actually feeling at ease in her skin around Erinn, she couldn't help feel a bit strange. Well that and that she had had about 5 hours of sex and was still drunk from the night before.
"I know," Erinn said playfully hitting Sophie's arm. "This is for me. People can see we can be civil with each other."
"Ah. So ulterior motives, I see." Sophie and Erinn walked the distance to the cobbles talking about everything but the issue at hand. Erinn knew by now not to push Sophie into talking about something if she didn't want to. And didn't want this to end on a sour note like it usually did. She genuinely liked Sophie, and loved her playful joking side.
Soph just wanted to go home and sleep some more so she started picking up her pace as she neared Coronation Street. Erinn started getting a bit nervous as they got closer as she didn't want a run in with Rosie. That would not be a good scene at all. Erinn was good at playing like she didn't care what people thought, but deep down she did. She didn't want to be seen as the person messing sensitive Sophie Webster about. She took a deep breath as they rounded a corner, just down the street from the main drag of Corrie. "Here we go," thought Erinn.
Sian by now had gotten dressed and checked her phone about a billion times. Even turned it off and on to make sure it was working. She set out to be on Coronation Street and sort of mill about until there was a Sophie sighting. She didn't want to be like this but if Soph wasn't going to answer, then she would confront her. Corner her if need be. The trouble was, she wasn't feeling 100% well. The bourbon from the night before was messing with her whole body. It was too bright, too blurry, too stomach churning but she was determined. Sian felt she had caused this whole thing, not directly but her past coming back to haunt her had caused this chain reaction. And Sophie was too sweet to get the wrong end of the stick like this. Sian had to set things rignt. She got the guts up enough to walk into the Corner Shop to see if Sophie was there, which she wasn't. Dev greeted her in his normally distracted way and she walked around acting like she was shopping, when in reality she was seeing if Sophie was there in the back office or not. Sian purchased a juice when she realized Soph wasn't there and walked outside into the fresh air. "Where are ya Soph, don't make me go to your house," Sian thought as she took a drink. Just then she heard a familiar laugh that made her heart leap. "Soph," she said aloud.
Erinn was recalling the time they got kicked out of an arcade in Blackpool, after Erinn asked some of the locals if there was any coke around for sale. Sophie at the time was angry since she didn't do drugs, but now looking back it was quite humorous. Sophie let out a loud laugh that echoed down the street.
"Oh god your face hahaahha," laughed Erinn pointing at Sophie.
Sophie was blushing and couldn't help but still laugh it off. They neared the Corner Shop and Sophie right away saw Sian look over at her and Erinn. "Shit!" thought Sophie but kept her cool.
"Alright Sian," she said trying not to look nervous. She felt her hands instantly get sweaty in her coat pockets.
"Sophie…" Sian said as she looked at who she was walking with. It was the girl from a couple of weeks ago, the one causing a scene. She instantly felt queasy as the juice did a number on her stomach.
Sophie watched as Sian looked over at Erinn, and looked at Erinn herself, who was as usual oblivious to the situation.
"Were you going to answer my text?" asked Sian quietly while her face, neck and ears burned like fire.
"Your text? Oh shit Erinn," said Sophie looking at the redhead as she rifled through her pockets. "I left my phone at your house!"
"Are you sure?" asked Erinn.
"Yeah I left it on the bedside table. Damn it, I don't feel like walking, let's just get a cab back," said Sophie.
Sian had to leave. This was too much information to process and the juice, the flipping juice was doing a huge number to her stomach. "This is the famous Erinn….the phone is at her house...bedside table." Sian walked to the back part of the Corner Shop. The ginnel they called it. She just had to get rid of the juice and any residue of last night's binge drinking out of her stomach.
Sophie watched as Sian walked away looking green around the gills and felt like she should help, but remembered the last time she tried to help and just let her walk.
"I'll uh.. text you I guess Sian?" said Sophie to the back of the blonde quickly walking away. Erinn couldn't help but giggle, and Sophie could appreciate the way it would look to an outsider, who had no clue as to what was going on. They walked to Street Cars and got into a cab. Sophie couldn't help but look at where she last saw Sian, couldn't help but feel concerned. "Get over it Sophie, you know this is the right thing to do. Think of our sanity." Sophie laughed to herself as she realized she was still drunk and laughed at the thought that her mind was a different entity than herself. She looked over to Erinn who grinned at her flirtatiously. Maybe she could get a little more out of her sexually to avoid the Sian situation a bit longer. "That's using her." She started to chide herself. Sophie leaned in for a kiss to which the redhead reciprocated greedily. "Perfect. Wouldn't have it any other way."
