Christmas Eve, it took everything for Catherine to move that day. Calleigh was leaving for Louisiana for the remainder of the holidays.
"Don't look so sad, Catherine, you might be dropping me off, but you're picking up Lindsey." Calleigh smiled at her. Catherine nodded with a heavy heart. Calleigh zipped the last of her suitcases.
"Oh, cheer up would you? I'll be back in a few weeks." Calleigh said cheerfully, trying to hide her pain.
"I guess." Catherine said. "Do we have time for a quickie?" she asked.
"No!" Calleigh replied laughing, "We've had three already, I really need to get going so I won't miss my flight." She added.
"That could work." Catherine said with a smile, "Lindsey would love to have you here for Christmas." She added.
"And so would my family." Calleigh laughed. She leaned in and kissed Catherine again.
"Now, drive me to the airport, woman." Calleigh ordered placing a suitcase in Catherine's arms.
"I don't want to." Catherine said crossing her arms. She knew she was acting childish, but this time she was determined to keep Calleigh in Las Vegas.
"I'll call a cab." Calleigh said crossing her arms as well. Catherine laughed, and launched herself at Calleigh throwing her down on the the bed.
After another quickie, the girls headed to the airport. Calleigh's plane was scheduled to leave at two thirty and Lindsey's would arrive at three. Catherine stood with Calleigh in front of security for a couple minutes, kissing her and holding back the tears.
"You're phone's vibrating against my belly." Calleigh laughed during a hug.
"It's Lindsey!" Catherine said looking at it. "Hi baby." She answered. Calleigh listened as Catherine spoke.
"What? Oh, no…when can you get home?...on the twenty sixth, oh Lindsey…yes, I'll be fine, yes, alright, call me tomorrow….Love you, too." Catherine said as she spoke to her daughter.
"What's wrong?" Calleigh asked seeing Catherine's distraught look.
"Lindsey's flight got cancelled; she said that was nothing else available." Catherine said with tears flooding her eyes. "Now you have to stay with me." She begged Calleigh.
"I can't, Catherine, I'm sorry! I already promised that I would go back home for Christmas." Calleigh said with tears in her eyes. "Now, I really have to get through security." She added. Calleigh wrapped her arms tightly around Catherine and kissed her passionately.
"I love you, I'll miss you like crazy." Calleigh said.
"Me, too." Catherine said, "I love you like crazy." She added. Once last quick peck and Calleigh walked through security.
"Merry Christmas." Calleigh said waving at Catherine before she walked to her gate. Catherine waved back and watched until Calleigh disappeared. Catherine walked to her car, trying to hold back the tears, but a few rolled down her cheeks. She would be spending Christmas alone, all by herself for the first time in a long time. She drove home and curled up in a ball on her bed and cried until she fell asleep.
Calleigh was sitting comfortably in her seat on the plane to Salt Lake City, where she would board a plane to Louisiana. Calleigh was listening to the music playing on the radio channels, which were all playing Christmas music. The flight was too short for a movie. She sighed as she laid her head back and closed her eyes. As much as she couldn't wait to see her family, it had shattered her heart to leave Catherine alone for the holidays. Nonetheless, she had promised her family that she would be with them for the holidays. She tried to change her mind by listening to the music that was playing in her ear buds, but one song caught her attention: "Blue Christmas" sung by Celine Dion. All of a sudden, Calleigh had images of Catherine flood her thoughts. Their first meeting, their first kiss, the first time they made love, the first 'I love you'. Her eyes flooded with tears and she couldn't hold them in. They rolled down her cheeks as the song played and she pictured Catherine alone at home. Calleigh decided no one should be alone for the holidays.
Catherine heard pounding on the front door and opened her eyes. She glanced at the clock; it was 11:45pm, she had been sleeping ever since dropping off Calleigh at the airport. Her will to live was weak and the weather seemed to agree with her, it was pouring rain, unusually hard for Las Vegas. She dragged herself out of bed and walked to the front door. The pounding continued on the door as Catherine reached it. She unlocked the door and opened it.
"You better have a damn good reason for ban..." Catherine paused in her rant when she seen who was standing at the door. "Calleigh?" Catherine said. The blonde, was soaking wet, drenched in rain standing on her door step. Calleigh grabbed Catherine's face in her hands and kissed her as she pushed her into the house.
"I can't do this anymore," Calleigh said as she held Catherine's face between her hands, "I love you, Catherine, more than anything in the world, I love you so much, I can't fire a gun straight, I can't think straight, you are on my mind twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, Catherine, I'm moving to Vegas, I want to be with you." Calleigh said really fast. Catherine stood there, speechless, looking at Calleigh, her eyes were reddened and her white shirt was clinging to her.
"What?" Catherine said with wide eyes.
"I love you." Calleigh repeated, crying. Catherine stood there and looked at Calleigh. Catherine's body seemed to move on its own. She started kissing Calleigh and their hand were all over each other. As they made their way to the bedroom, they were slowly ripping off pieces of each other's clothing, leaving a trail from the front door to the bed. Calleigh lay on top of Catherine, at first their lips kissed and then Calleigh made her way down.
"Oh, God!" Catherine said bracing herself on the headboard to prepare for what Calleigh was about to do. Catherine let out a gasp as Calleigh fingers entered her. She closed her eyes and let her mind go blank to enjoy the feelings to a maximum. Without her eyes, Catherine could hear every sound, smell every scent and feel every touch more than anything. She could feel both of Calleigh's hands, the one that was fondling her breast and the one that was moving inside of her. Then Calleigh removed her hand from Catherine and wrapped her arms around Catherine's thighs and placed her hands on her hips.
"What are you doing?" Catherine asked Calleigh.
"Relax!" Calleigh said. Catherine laid back and felt Calleigh's lips and tongue between her legs.
"Oh, yes!" Catherine gasped as Calleigh's tongue worked its magic. Catherine lay on her back, eyes still closed. Calleigh's hands were gently stroking her stomach, her hands were so soft and warm, at times Calleigh would stop to draw small designs with her fingers on Catherine's hip bones. Catherine could also feel Calleigh's long hair tickling the inside of her thighs. With the sensation of Calleigh's tongue inside of her and the soft hair gently tickling her thighs, the usually quiet Catherine started moaning louder than she had ever had. Small screams would slip from Catherine's lips as Calleigh's tongue ran over her g-spot repeatedly.
"Don't stop. Oh, God, don't stop! Oh, God!" Catherine started gasping. Her breaths got shorter and her fingers linked with Calleigh's. She was now using her girlfriend's hands to brace herself as her orgasm shook her entire body. This time Catherine couldn't hold it in, the scream that escaped her lips could have woken up the dead, but she didn't care. The pleasure was too intense for her to express any other way. Calleigh removed her tongue from Catherine and ran it over Catherine's clit a few times and then she made her way to Catherine's lips. Catherine pushed Calleigh off her and got on top.
"What are you doing?" Calleigh asked.
"Shut up." Catherine said as she pressed her lips against Calleigh's. Catherine's hand was on Calleigh's cheek, then she ran her hand down Calleigh's neck, gently stroking Calleigh's breasts; Catherine softly caressed Calleigh's stomach and then brought it down in between Calleigh's legs. Catherine ran her fingers over Calleigh clit three times before sliding her hand inside Calleigh. The blonde gasped as Catherine's fingers ran over Calleigh's g-spot and their blue eyes met. Catherine's began thrusting using her entire body, her breasts rubbing against Calleigh's chest. Calleigh was gasping with every one of Catherine's movement. Calleigh slid her hands down Catherine's back and rested them on her ass and would gently push Catherine as she moved her body to thrust harder; she would also gently give Catherine's butt a squeeze. Calleigh was groaning and Catherine was softly running her tongue over Calleigh's lips and would occasionally force it inside Calleigh's mouth to run it over the blonde's tongue. Catherine felt Calleigh's back arching as her nails dug into Catherine's butt.
"Oh, God, Catherine!" Calleigh whispered before her entire body started shaking. Catherine hardened her movements and Calleigh started gasping for air.
"Oh God!" Calleigh gasped as she placed her forehead in the nook of Catherine's neck. Catherine felt Calleigh's wetness envelop her hand. Calleigh's grip on Catherine ass loosed and Calleigh closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. Catherine rolled off and lay besides her. Calleigh moved and laid her head on Catherine's beasts, her soft blonde hair was gently tickling Catherine's chest and neck. Catherine placed both hands over Calleigh's breasts, gently rubbing her thumbs in her nipples and loving the up and down movement they made as Calleigh regained her breath. Calleigh took Catherine's left hand and looked at her watch.
"Merry Christmas Catherine Willows." Calleigh panted. "It's after midnight." She added. Catherine started laughing.
"You forgot to put a red bow on your head." Catherine replied.
"I had a red bra and a green thong, does that count?" Calleigh smiled.
"I didn't get the time to see them so…nope!" Catherine said as she shook her head. Calleigh turned over and lay on her stomach. Catherine admired the curve of Calleigh's back. She ran a hand from Calleigh's shoulders down to her butt and back up. The skin on her back was soft, warm and still a little sweaty. Catherine placed a kiss on Calleigh's forehead.
"I guess you won't be spending Christmas alone after all." Calleigh smiled as she laid her head on Catherine's shoulder. Calleigh slipped her arms around Catherine and wrapped them tightly.
"I guess not." Catherine smiled as she gently kissed Calleigh. They lay in bed, side by side, knowing that for once, Calleigh would not be leaving.
"How'd you get here, anyways?" Catherine asked all of a sudden.
"I drove." Calleigh replied casually.
"You drove?" Catherine laughed.
"Yep! By the time I landed in Salt Lake City, I realised I couldn't live another minute away from you, there were no flights leaving for Vegas, so I rented a car and I drove." Calleigh explained.
"From Salt Lake City! Calleigh, that's a six and a half hour drive." Catherine laughed.
"I know," Calleigh said, "I rented a Mercedes, I had the Celine Dion loud as hell so it was a pretty smooth ride." She added.
"I would have done the same for you." Catherine whispered after a few minutes of silence. Calleigh's listened to Catherine's heartbeat as they lay in the quiet.
"Let's go sit by the tree." Catherine whispered. She let go of Calleigh, slipped out of bed and slipped on her robe.
"Come on, I'll get some champagne." Catherine smiled. Calleigh got out of bed and put on the spare rob Catherine kept there for her. When she got into the living room, Catherine had turned down the lights and turned on the lights on her Christmas tree and was sitting in front of the tree. She had put on a Christmas CD.
"I know you like her." Catherine smiled as Calleigh grinned at the Celine Dion that was playing. Calleigh sat beside her and took the champagne flute Catherine was handing her.
"This is perfect." Catherine whispered as she kissed Calleigh again.
"Mom? Calleigh? Wake up." Catherine heard the next morning as someone shook her. She stirred and opened her eyes. She was leaning against the couch, Calleigh was leaning against her, sleeping too; Catherine lifted her eyes to see who had shook her.
"Lindsey!" Catherine said sitting up quickly, causing Calleigh to jerk forward. The blonde opened her eyes and looked up as well.
"Lindsey." Calleigh smiled as well.
"Hi guys, Merry Christmas!" Lindsey said. Catherine jumped up and hugged her daughter.
"What are you doing here? I though you couldn't get a flight until tomorrow." Catherine said looking at her daughter with a wide smile.
"I couldn't in coach, but I paid a little extra to get a first class seat." Lindsey said. "Hi Calleigh." She said looking at the blonde that stood up. Lindsey gave Calleigh a small hug.
"Hey." Calleigh said. "I'm going to go get dressed." She added heading towards Catherine's room. She stopped dead in her tracks. "I don't have any clothes here, my suitcases are back home." She added smiling.
"You can take one of my dresses." Catherine said. Calleigh blew her a kiss and went to Catherine's room.
"I can't believe she's here, I though you said she was heading to Louisiana, to be with her family?" Lindsey asked as she sat on the couch besides Catherine.
"She was." Catherine said as she told Lindsey the story, leaving out the bedroom parts.
"Wow." Lindsey smiled. "You guys are so cute together!" She added. Catherine smiled. Calleigh walked into the room wearing a red dress.
"This is the only one that fit." She said.
"You look great," Catherine said. And Calleigh did! The dress was a simple spaghetti strapped dress.
"I gotta get dressed now." Catherine said. She walked past Calleigh, gently placed an arm around her waist and kissed her. She walked to her room and started going through her clothes.
"Hurry up, mom! We've decided on going out to brunch." Lindsey yelled at Catherine. From her room, Catherine could hear Calleigh and Lindsey chatting. It was at that moment that Catherine realised that her life was perfect. She didn't need anything more. She had her daughter and the love of her life, what more could she ask for. A smile formed on Catherine's lips and she took a few seconds to thank God for everything she had on this great Christmas day. She was standing the middle of her room, in her underwear, smiling to herself when Calleigh walked in.
"What are you smiling about?" Calleigh asked. Catherine walked to her and wrapped her arms around Calleigh.
"I'm just so happy; I know have everything I could have ever wanted. I love you" Catherine said as she gave Calleigh a long kiss.
"I love you, too, Catherine." Calleigh smiled at her. "And I am never leaving, you're my world now." She added.
