Chapter 2: A Strange Affair
Bao wrap one hand around Daja's waist and the other entwined in her hair as she returned the kiss that lasted for what seemed an eternity. With weak knees Bao pulled away and going for the stairs.
Daja followed Bao her arms wrapped around the shorter girl's waist. Occasionally nibbling on her neck she whispered in Bao's ear " Where are we going?" knowing most smiths lived above or near their forges.
They took the steps slowly due their close proximity, as they came to the top steps Daja looked around the simple two room apartment. A stove, cold box and sink dominated one half of the room they entered the other half contained a simple couch. The only door in the space was closed and she wondered what was beyond it perhaps a bathroom, for it was quite apparent that Bao slept on the couch primarily.
"T-T-This i-i-is m-m-my h-h-home." Bao stuttered her nerve slowly returning "I-I-It i-isn't m-much but it's home." As she walked farther into the room she turned to Daja and kissed her again slowly making her way to the couch.
Daja lifted the smaller woman so as to kiss her better. Bao's legs wrapped themselves around Daja's waist as her hands slid to Bao's rear to better support the muscular frame. As Daja sat on the couch a shrill cry came from the forge they had just left "Chime go home!" she hollered at the glass dragon.
Bao adjusted her legs to better accommodate herself as Daja sat down. She leaned in and kissed her again her passion and desire almost boiling over. Stars burst behind her now closed eyes as Daja returned the kiss. The glass dragon shrilled again Daja growled and pulled herself away.
"I have to get Chime home or she will never shut up. Do you want to come to my house and I will take the measurements for your new fingers? " Daja asked as she attempted to stand.
All Bao could do was nod her acceptance, her voice gone as her breath attempted to purge itself from her lungs.
Another kiss and they parted and went down stairs.
Briar waited there Little Bear at his heals Chime perched on the large dog's back"Sandry sent me to see why you had kicked us out so suddenly. And Tris was wondering where Chime was, she has to go back to lightbridge in the morning." He stated matter of factly as he spotted Bao, it might have been two years since his experience in the war but he still didn't trust any yanjingnese. She was the enemy even if his foster sister came down from her apartment all sweaty. He forced his way though the mental door and almost screamed at her So your a traitor now, sleeping with her! he brought up a picture of Daja and Bao as they stood, how could you? acid dripping from his voice.
Briar listen she wasn't even living in Yanjing when the war happened shes been in this country for seven years. Daja attempted to explain
I still don't trust her. He grumbled as he walked out of the forge Little Bear carrying a sleeping Chime. He quickly turned "Almost forgot Tris made supper, your new friend ... is welcome to join us." The last words tasted bitter in his mouth he really didn't like the foreigner.
Daja turned to Bao "Do you want to have supper with my sisters and brother?" The question was fast and simple.
Bao shook her head her nerves there and in the moment she had heard the tone in the mans voice "No I'll stay home, I don't think that young man likes me." her voice was soft as velvet with out her stutter.
Daja liked this voice even better then the stutter it seemed to wrap her in a comforting blanket, "That was just Briar he doesn't like anybody from Yanjing, he wont even sell to them he had a bad experience a few years back."
Daja must have been referring to the invasion of Gyonxe. Even Bao knew about it she had lost her father then.
With a final kiss Daja left hoping to smooth things over with her brother.
