Chapter 3
It's amazing how the soft touch of a kiss can leave behind such a sensation. A tiny shock that seems to ignite a fire inside of your body which runs rampant, burning you up until you feel like you cannot take another second and desperation pushes you over the edge of control. Desperation to get closer until it is impossible to find any semblance of space. Even then, the fire remains. You have tasted the forbidden fruit. Now you want more, and it feels as though you will never have enough.
The shock was felt by both women the second Claire kissed her. It was unexpected, yet neither woman pulled away. Despite the surprise of it, they were intrigued. They felt the spark; they knew the other felt it. It was impossible to stop there.
The redhead pressed her mouth harder against the blonde's, feeling the blonde pressing back equally. Their lips moving in perfect synchronization. Without thinking, Alice deepened the kiss. Claire moaned at the feeling of Alice's tongue making contact with hers. She pressed the blonde's back against the windshield. She was nearly on top of the other woman. They carried on kissing as if their lives depended on it.
It felt like this had been happening for hours when they were interrupted.
"Damn! Get it girl!" Claire jumped as if she had been tased, which scared the crap out of Alice and she nearly fell off the hood. In perfect time, both heads snapped to the intruder. Claire glared.
"Damn it, Betty!" The woman in question merely smirked at the angry redhead.
"It was either I come over or Carlos, and as I'm sure you'd end up ripping his balls off, I felt I was the safer option. I'm a nurse, not a doctor. There would be no hope for survival if either of you got your hands on him. Especially Vader over there." She pointed to Alice.
"What is it that you want?" The blonde asked, her voice neutral despite the scowl fixed on her face.
Betty grinned, "Well, there's a meeting in about ten minutes. I was talking to Carlos – who I know was staring at Alice with that creepy look – and he just started glaring then walked off mumbling some shit about a meeting. I was in the middle of a good story, too. I was telling him about when L.J. went into that gas station and fell on his ass when this bird flew through the window." She laughed, "I can still hear that girly scream -""Betty! The point please!" Claire yelled impatiently.
"Okay, okay! Shit, girl. Hang onto your tits. Or would you rather hang on to Alice's?" She smirked again.
"Betty!" Claire admonished.
"Fine! Take my fun away," she grumbled. "Anyway, he told everyone there was a meeting in 20 minutes. He had said he was going to tell you two, but I'd already seen what you were up to. I knew it wouldn't end well so I volunteered. Here I am."
Claire sighed. "Thank you."
"I really would have kicked his ass." Alice commented.
"You're welcome, and I know you would." Betty smiled. "You two can continue after the meeting. Ten minutes ladies." She walked away.
Claire turned to look at Alice. "I'd apologize for getting so into it, but I'm not sorry and it didn't feel like you weren't appreciating it." She smiled at her. The blonde smiled as well.
"Oh, I appreciated it. You didn't seem like you were just doing a friend a favor." She smirked.
Claire's smile grew, "I may have done it for my own benefit." Her face turned serious. "Alice, I-"
"Hi, guys! Did anyone tell you about the meeting?" Claire continued under her breath "- am going to fucking kill someone." This forced Alice to cough to hide a laugh. Claire flashed a strained smile toward K-Mart.
"Yeah, K. Betty came over a minute ago." K-Mart nodded in understanding.
"I'm about to head over there. You want to come?" She asked innocently. Alice mumbled "More than you know" causing Claire to flush and tumble out "We're right behind you." The bubbly blonde smiled and began walking away. Claire turned a wide-eyed gaze to Alice, who smiled innocently and hopped off the hood. "Shall we?" The redhead shook her head to clear it and hopped off. They made their way to the meeting.
. . . . . . . . . . .
The meeting was over, the next destination decided. K-Mart, Claire, Alice, Betty, L.J., and Carlos were all gathered around a fire and eating pork and beans they had gotten from Otto. K finished first.
"Figures. I finally get to go to Vegas and it's when the world is up shit's creek." K-Mart threw her arms up in a frustrated fashion, nearly smacking Claire in the face. She jumped back before the hit landed.
"Whoa! Watch it! And watch your mouth, young lady." Claire chided.
K-Mart rolled her eyes. "Claire, you swear all the time. Not setting the best example now are we? Let me guess. 'Do as I say, not as I do'?" Alice snorted, hiding her hands in her face when Claire glared at her. Her shoulders shook with silent laughter at the sibling-like squabble.
"Well, yes, exactly. I'm older than you so it's okay for me to do. You're only 16." She tried to argue.
"World's over. I don't see the point." K-Mart fired back.
The redhead rolled her eyes, "Of course not. Would you at least try to keep the cussing down?"
"Sure," Claire smiled, "when you try to keep your tongue out of Alice's mouth." Her expression went to wide-eyed shock. The aforementioned blonde started laughing so hard she fell back first onto the sand and rolled around. Betty was gasping for air, tears running down her face. L.J. was laughing but creating the image in his mind. Carlos was glaring. Surprise, surprise.
"Wha-I-how did you-" the redhead spluttered out. K-Mart responded with, "The nurse is a gossip and you never told her not to tell anyone. Well, that and I was trying to nap in the backseat of the Hummer." Claire's face matched her hair. "I'm gonna go….look for….something….over there." She practically ran off, leaving everyone but Carlos laughing in her wake.
Alice finally got her breath back, "Do we all have to watch our tongues or is it just you Redfields?" She smirked. Everyone laughed.
K-Mart smiled at Alice's calling her a Redfield. "At this point Claire probably needs yours." Betty cackled. "Damn. You blondes are dirty."
"There's a reason for that." Alice waggled her eyebrows, getting a giggle out of K and Betty. "I should probably go find Claire." She got up and left.
"She's got it bad." Betty shook her head.
K-Mart laughed. "They both do."
. . . . . . . . . . .
"Claire?" Alice called as she opened the Hummer's passenger door. She saw the redhead sitting in the driver's seat with her head against the steering wheel. "Are you okay?" She lifted her head to look at the powerful blonde. She smiled weakly.
"I'm fine. Just embarrassed. I wasn't expecting K-Mart to know about that. I mean, I don't regret it, but I didn't think about my little sister knowing about my tongue being down someone else's throat."
"I can understand that." Alice climbed in and shut the door behind her. "By the way, I don't regret it either." They smiled at each other.
"So, what does this mean for us?" Claire felt as if her heart might burst from her chest.
"Well," Alice slid across the seat, getting closer until Claire could feel the blonde's breath on her lips, "I know what I want it to mean. What do you want, Claire?" She asked. She stared intensely into Claire's eyes. Claire just stared back.
Alice glanced at her lips quickly before leaning in and kissing her heatedly. Claire immediately deepened the kiss. She felt Alice's tongue touch hers and opened her mouth wider to accommodate it. She pushed against the other woman until she got the hint and moved her back onto the seat. Claire hovered over her as they kissed.
*knock, knock* Claire broke the kiss and looked back at the driver's-side window. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Alice was baffled at Claire's violent reaction until she glanced at the window. "Claire-"
The redhead launched off of her and out of the door. It was Carlos.
"Hey, Claire. Have you seen A-" that was all that made it out of his mouth before Claire's fist slammed into his face so hard that in knocked him to the ground. She bent down near his head. If looks could kill, he'd be dead three times over.
"Since you haven't taken the other hints, maybe that hit will have knocked some sense into you. Alice does not want you. She wants me, she has me. Leave us alone, or next time she will kick your sorry ass. Are we clear?" The man could only nod. Claire stood up. "Good boy." She got back into the Hummer and he got up and stumbled away, tail between his legs.
"Wow. I think he got it this time." Alice smirked. Claire laughed, "I won't lie. It felt really good to finally hit him." The blonde hummed. "Shall we continue?" she asked cheekily. Claire answered by shoving her down and climbing on top of her, kissing her again. Worth it, she thought.
There it is. Reviews, alerts, and favorites make me feel like I've been given delicious cupcakes :D feed me and I'll make Alice whoop Carlos's ass.
