Yumi awoke in a dreamy haze, her eyes opening slowly as they adjusted to the warm light of the early morning sun.
The first thing she noticed was the heat of the body-pillow by her side. The second was the fleshy peak pressed against the centre of her palm.
Yumi blushed as her gaze lowered and she realised whose breast she was covering. The events of the previous day came flooding back to her instantly.
A happy smile moved to her lips and Yumi leisurely lifted her hand from Sachiko's breast, bringing it down to the girl's hip instead.
"Mmngh," a sleepy moan of protest left Sachiko's lips.
Yumi smiled, enjoying the realisation that her girlfriend appreciated her touch.
She'd found it difficult to move past her reverence of Sachiko last night. She had wanted more than anything to explore every part of her body, but her inexperience had gotten the best of her.
She was feeling a little bolder this morning, but as her gaze returned to Sachiko's breasts, she could feel her earlier shyness returning. Would she ever be able to break free of the awe she felt for Sachiko's beauty?
Last night Sachiko had told her 'I'm no angel '. She'd seen her hesitation and had understood it. She'd invited her touch but it still hadn't made it any easier for her.
Desire, arousal, lust, sex, these were notions a good catholic schoolgirl had no business entertaining. But she also knew that when you fell in love, they gained a whole new meaning. It wasn't wrong to act on feelings of love.
She might have attended a catholic school, but her parents had never preached to her about the evils of sex. She'd grown up surrounded by love so she didn't feel guilty or bad about the desire she had for Sachiko.
She was just a sixteen year old girl, in love for the first time and feeling a little overwhelmed by her own hormones.
As her gaze returned to the rosy peak of Sachiko's nipple, she felt those hormones kick into overdrive.
She lifted her eyes to Sachiko's lips. If she was going to touch her again, she didn't want her to be asleep.
"Sachiko," she spoke the girl's name softly and tenderly kissed her lips. "Wake up," she pressed another kiss against Sachiko's lips.
As she pulled away, she felt Sachiko's hand reach for the base of ner neck in order to bring her back down for another kiss.
Eager to oblige, Yumi once again lowered her lips to Sachiko's, only this time she allowed herself to apply a bit more pressure. She immediately felt Sachiko respond.
The girl's lips slid open and she felt a warm tongue slide between her own. She welcomed the intrusion, giving Sachiko free reign of her mouth. Her tongue flattened under Sachiko's exploration at first, but before long she was meeting each thrust of the girl's tongue with one of her own.
"Mmmm," Sachiko protested as Yumi pulled away.
Yumi smiled and relented. But only for a moment. She briefly captured Sachiko's bottom lip, taking it into her mouth for only a few seconds before pulling away.
"Good morning Sachiko. You awake?"
Sachiko opened her eyes slowly, a lustful smile coming to her lips when she met Yumi's gaze.
"Not really. I think I need another kiss, just to make sure."
Yumi couldn't resist the sensual gaze her girlfriend gave her and before she could change her mind, she was once again meeting Sachiko's lips with her own.
When she pulled away this time, she lowered her head to Sachiko's shoulder, shivering as the girl's hands slid over her back to pull her close.
She lay in Sachiko's arms for a long while, simply enjoying the warmth of the embrace. She really didn't feel any need to move or get up. She was right where she wanted to be.
"Did you sleep well?" Sachiko spoke the words against her ear.
"Mmm hmmm," Yumi replied lazily. "You?"
"Yes thank you."
"Sachiko..."
"Yes Yumi?"
"Do we have to get up?"
Sachiko laughed softly and lovingly kissed the top of Yumi's head. "You woke me up remember? I'd rather still be asleep."
Yumi chuckled. "You're really not a morning person are you? What time do we have to check out?"
Sachiko sighed and wrapped her arms tighter around Yumi's back.
"The driver's going to pick us up at 10. What time is it now?"
"I don't know. Let me look."
Reaching out lazily, Yumi picked up her watch from the dresser and glanced at it before putting it back down.
"It's almost 8:30."
"We should get up," Sachiko frowned.
Yumi agreed, yet she made no move to do so.
"Oh-neee-saa-maaa," she protested, using her most childish voice, "do we have to go?"
Sachiko chuckled at the girl's pouty tone. "Yumi..."
"Lets stay here," she continued flippantly. "I'm sure no one'll mind. We can move into this room like an old married couple."
"Hmmm," Sachiko paused as if actually considering the idea. "I see no problem with that. There's a chapel around the corner. We can elope first to make it official."
"That'd be fun," Yumi giggled.
"Oh Yumi, I really do wish we could stay here forever."
Yumi gazed up at her girlfriend with love, her thoughts suddenly filled with the previous day's events.
"Sachiko...thank you. This has been the best weekend of my life."
"Mine too Yumi."
Yumi lifted her lips back up to Sachiko's for a brief kiss before reluctantly slipping out of bed.
"I'll shower first, that way you can sleep some more if you like. I'll wake you when I'm done."
Turning onto her side with a softly worded 'okay', Sachiko wasted no time in complying with her suggestion.
With an adoring smile Yumi headed towards the bathroom.
Sachiko was definitely not a morning person.
"Are you hungry Yumi?" Sachiko questioned once they were both dressed and packed. "We still have a bit of time before the driver gets here. There's a cafe nearby. We can spend the rest of the morning there if you like."
"Okay," Yumi nodded her agreement, a goofy smile reaching her lips. "You think they'll have ice cream?"
"For breakfast?" Sachiko raised an eyebrow.
Yumi grinned in response.
"You're such a child," Sachiko placed an adoring hand against the younger girl's cheek. "What shall I do with you?"
"Feed me ice cream?" Yumi gave her a hopeful look.
Sachiko laughed and pressed a loving kiss against her girlfriend's lips. "And I suppose you'll want cake to go with the ice cream?"
Yumi's expresion brightened as if the idea hadn't occured to her, and Sachiko couldn't help but wonder if the girl wasn't actually teasing.
"Yumi? Seriously? Cake and ice cream for breakfast?"
"Why not?" Yumi encouraged with a cheeky grin.
Rolling her eyes, Sachiko wrapped her arms around Yumi and brought her in for a leisurly kiss.
"Come on little sister," she pulled back and briefly pressed her lips against Yumi's forehead. "You're Onee-sama will treat you to cake and ice cream if you're a good little girl."
Yumi giggled and grasped Sachiko's arm with her hands. "I love you, Onee-sama."
Sachiko's gaze softened and she brushed a tender kiss against the girl's cheek. As they headed out the door, she couldn't help but think about how much she utterly adored this girl.
After they'd finished breakfast, which had consisted of a strawberry sunday and a chocolate muffin in place of cake for Yumi, and a more respectable bread roll and omlette for Sachiko, the girls returned to their room to collect their bags.
They were silent on the drive home, both lost in thought. Neither girl was eager for the trip to end. Their 'honeymoon' was over and it was time to get back to the 'real world'.
When they got to Yumi's house, Sachiko exited the car with her and walked her to the front door.
"Sachiko..."
"Yumi..."
They spoke at the same time, not sure how to say goodbye.
"What are your plans for the rest of today Onee-sama?"
Sachiko looked over at her girlfriend with a pensive gaze. So, that's how it was. She was back to being the girl's 'Onee-sama'. How quickly things returned to normal now that they were no longer in their own little world.
"Well, I've finished all my set homework, but I have some study to do. I was otherwise occupied this weekend so have yet to get around to revising this week's lessons."
Yumi giggled. "Otherwise occupied?"
Sachiko relaxed and responded with a soft laugh of her own. "Pleasantly occupied I should say."
"I like that better," Yumi replied, her gaze softening.
"What about you?"
Yumi pouted. "I'm not so good. I still haven't finished my set homework."
The girl's eyes widened in realisation. "Oh no! I completely forgot."
"What is it Yumi?"
"The Historical Japanese literature essay. It's due tomorrow."
"Yumi, didn't you get that piece of assessment two weeks ago?"
Yumi nodded, looking for all the world like a child awaiting punishment after being caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
"I forgot. I was so busy with the preparations for the School Festival, and helping Touko-chan with her lines and learning my own lines...and I was supposed to finish it this weekend."
"Have you written an outline?"
Yumi looked away as if ashamed. "Um...no...not yet..."
"What about research?"
"I've got a few books from the school library up in my room...but I haven't taken notes from all of them yet."
"Yumi," she said the girl's name with exasparation. "It's a five thousand word essay worth twenty percent of your final grade. What were you thinking? How do you expect to finish it in one day? You haven't even completed the research."
Yumi shrugged, her shoulders drooping and her eyes glued to the ground. "I don't know. I'm sorry Onee-sama."
"Yumi," Sachiko sighed. What was she going to do with the girl?
"I'm sorry," Yumi repeated her apology, her voice trembling as if she were about to cry. "I should've been more responsible.."
Sachiko sighed again, but her expression softened. "Oh Yumi," she took a step towards the younger girl and embraced her.
"Come here you silly girl."
Yumi did as she was told and burried her face against her neck. "I'm sorry," she mumbled regretfully.
Sachiko stroked her hair gently, providing comfort as she contemplated what needed to be done.
"It's okay Yumi," Sachiko shifted into her 'big sister' mode.
"This is what we'll do. You're not staying here tonight. We'll go inside. Greet your parents if they're home. Then we'll go upstairs to your room and I'll help you pack a change of underwear, something to sleep in tonight and your school uniform. You'll locate all the books you need for your essay, along with those you require for the rest of your homework and for school tomorrow. We'll go back to my house where I will make sure you get all your work, including your essay, finished. You'll stay up all night if you have to. I can't have my 'petite seour' failing. Is that understood?"
Yumi pulled away, her eyes brimming with tears as she flashed her a grateful smile.
"Understood. Thank you Onee-sama."
Sachiko attempted a stern look, but couldn't help a twinkle from reaching her eye.
"That's what big sisters..."
She leaned forward so she could whisper the end of the sentence in Yumi's ear.
"...and girlfriend's...are for."
Sachiko enjoyed the play of emotions on Yumi's face as the girl's eyes widened and a blush came to her cheeks.
She needed to let Yumi know that even though she was currently playing the role of her 'Onee-sama', she was still her 'Girlfriend ' as well. She wasn't going to let Yumi forget it.
"Lets go Yumi. Daylight's burning."
"Yes Ma'am!"
Yumi flashed her a cheeky grin as she opened the door to her home.
