ART 11

"Hey you." came a soft voice.

My eyes were still closed but a smile appeared on my face anyway. You would smile too if you woke up the way I did.

All I felt was one thing; Katie.

Her legs wrapped around mine, her arms, one on my waist, the other holding my hand, fingers entwined, her face, not even an inch away from mine, foreheads touching, the subtle smile, and when I opened my eyes, I saw hers, dreamily staring into mine.

"Hey you too." I replied.

She placed the sweetest kiss on my lips. I closed my eyes again and I kissed her back, softly, taking it in. After we parted Katie brought her hand to my face and tucked a stray hair away.

"You looked so peaceful asleep." she said quietly.

"Well, I didn't really have anything in particular on my mind." I said.

She frowned but smiled at the same time. "Nothing on your mind?" she wondered.

I grinned. "Well, I had nothing to worry about, but I had stuff on my mind alright."

She leaned in for a kiss. "That's better." she smiled.

I closed my eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of her body close and her lips on mine. I wrapped myself around her, to feel her even more.

Last night was without a doubt the best night of my life. Katie had been so sweet, so tender, she didn't rush anything, she made sure the both of us were enjoying every second of it, and I had tried that too. It had been incredible.

"Katie?" I said softly after we had parted.

She looked up. "Yeah?"

I stroked her cheek. "Last night was amazing." I told her.

She flashed me a smile. "Yes, it was." She paused. "I'm glad we waited."

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, me too. I mean, as frustrating as it was sometimes, it was so worth it." I grinned. "We have to make up for all those times we got interrupted."

Katie got a mischievous smile on her face. "You wanna start now?"

"Hmm, I would have to think about that." I said teasingly as I lay myself back on the bed.

Katie giggled and started tracing my sides with her fingers. "You have to think about that, huh?"

"Uh-huh." I nodded. "Yeah, I'm not quite sure yet."

Katie leaned in and started nibbling my ear. Oh, now that's just mean.

"So how's that thinking going?" Katie breathed in my ear, as her hand travelled towards places.

"Err, you actually expect me to think when you do that?" I squeaked.

"Not really, that's the whole point." she whispered in my neck as she placed wet kisses there.

I suddenly sat up, flipped her on her back and within a second I was on top of Katie, straddling her.

"You're a tease." I said.

"I know." she said smiling, before she pulled me down towards her and crashed her lips on mine.

"Hi girls." Mom said cheerfully when we entered the kitchen little over an hour later. "Did you sleep well?"

Katie and I glanced at each other shortly. "Ehm, yeah, we did." I said quickly, trying very hard not to look my mother in the eyes.

My mom didn't seem to notice. That, or she's really good at hiding. "Coffee?" she asked.

"Yes please." Katie answered quickly, and walked over to my mom, who handed her a mug.

As Katie sat herself down I got a mug for myself and took a seat next to Katie. My mom turned to us.

"So what time are you leaving?" she asked. "Weekend goes by so fast."

Katie and I shared a look. "I think we will leave in about 2 hours. We gotta pack up first, and it's a long drive."

Katie nodded in agreement.

"Ok, let's have breakfast first, and then we can send you on your way." Mom replied.

**********

"Katie, it was so nice to meet you. Of course you're welcome to visit anytime you like." Mom said, as she gave Katie a hug.

"Well, thanks for having me, I had a great time." Katie replied.

I just finished putting the last bag in the car, and then turned towards my mom. She gave me a warm smile.

"It was good to see you again honey, you should come again soon." she said, while she pulled me in a hug too.

"I will mom. It was good to be back." I said when she let go, and looked in Katie's direction. "For many reasons." I added.

Katie grinned, and she looked back at me with a lot of love in her eyes.

When I looked back at my mom, I saw her giving me a smile that said more than enough. I blushed like crazy.

"Because I'm so glad you two get along." I tried.

Mom grinned. "Sure honey."

She opened the passenger door. "Now get going you two, you have a long drive ahead."

Mom confuses me sometimes.

**********

"Honey, we're home." I announced as I opened the door to my dorm room.

Michelle was sitting on her bed with her nose in some magazine when we dropped in.

"Hey girls." she said cheerfully. "Glad you're back, I've been bored out of my mind here." She got up and rescued me from a bag that was about to break my back.

"Thanks." I said, as Katie dropped a heavy bag on the floor.

"So, did you guys have fun?" Michelle wondered. "How did it go with the mom?"

"It went great. Mom loves Katie." I replied happily.

Katie grinned. "Well, I wouldn't put it that way, but yeah, it went well. We get along."

"Well, I'm glad. I know Jessie was all stressed about it. You should be glad you're not her roommate at moments like those." Michelle giggled.

Katie smiled. "I can imagine what that must be like."

"Hey, I'm not that bad." I defended myself.

Katie and Michelle exchanged a look.

"Hmph, whatever." I muttered.

"So," Michelle continued, "I think we need to celebrate that it went so well with your mom, and I am so ready to get out of here. What do you say about Starbucks?"

"I know I could use some coffee." Katie said, while she suppressed a yawn. "Driving for so long tires you out, and it's only six."

"Starbucks it is." I replied.

**********

"Michelle, you are such a pig." I said, when Michelle attacked her second chocolate pie as if she hadn't eaten in a month.

"Shuddup, dis fing is gweat." she mumbled with her mouth full.

"Very charming indeed." Katie giggled. She got up. "I'm going to the ladies. Be right back."

As I watched her go, I didn't notice Michelle staring at me. She swallowed a big piece of pie, and gave me a grin when I looked back at her.

"What?" I wondered out loud.

She just kept grinning at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that. Go look at your pie, it's more interesting than me."

Michelle took another bite, but she kept looking.

`So it went well, huh?" she finally asked.

I turned my head to her. "Yeah," I said, "it did."

"So how was it?" she wondered.

I raised an eyebrow. "Uh, it was alright, I think I just said that."

Michelle rolled her eyes. "That's not what I mean and you know it." she said.

"Then what do you mean?" I wondered.

Another eyeroll. She leaned in closer to me. "Aw, come on, I just know you did the nasty, so tell me already." she said, grin coming back on her face.

"What? Michelle, why would you think we did that?" I tried, but I knew I was starting to blush.

"Your face looks so guilty. And the way you came in today, the both of you had this look on your face that told me everything." Her grin became bigger. "So tell me, how was it?"

I looked at the counter, maybe hoping some waiter would come ask if we wanted more coffee or something. Unfortunately, I wasn't rescued.

I sighed and looked back at Michelle. "Ok." I admitted. "Yes, it happened, and it was very good."

Michelle banged her hand on the table. "I knew it!" she exclaimed.

"Knew what?" Katie suddenly said. Neither of us had heard her come back.

Oh shit. Ok, I just know I can make that blush disappear just by willpower.

Michelle didn't answer Katie, she just sat there looking back and forth between the two of us, with twinkles in her eyes.

Katie took her seat again. "What? Know what?" she wondered. Then she looked at Michelle's stupid grin, and my incredibly blushing face. She chuckled. "I can't leave you two alone for two seconds, can I?"

"I just asked her about your weekend. I asked if it was good." Michelle said innocently.

Katie, who has a brain, smiled knowingly. She turned to me. "And what did you say?" she asked.

"Ehm, I said it was good." I muttered.

Katie flashed me a smile, I think it only made me blush more. She picked up her mug of coffee and took a sip. "Hmm, I thought it was pretty good myself." she said casually.

I couldn't help but smile. Michelle noticed.

"So it was good for you both. Well great. Personally I'm glad you finally got it over with."

Katie and I looked at her questioningly.

"Well, with the way you two were around each other, I was surprised there weren't panties flying across the room already. I mean, talk about frustrated."

Katie nearly choked in her coffee. When she had her breath back she burst out into laughter.

When I was certain my girlfriend wasn't going to die on me, I gave Michelle a look.

She stuck out her tongue at me. I tried to look mad, but failed miserably. And when Katie suddenly grabbed my hand under the table, I couldn't help but smile, too.
