Author Notes: I know I was supposed to get to the Beale St. episode in this chapter but I figured I could get one more story out of the second episode and then move on to the third episode. Now since we all decided to kick the rating up to M, this chapter has a little more adult content so I hope everyone is ok with that. If not let me know, I am writing this for you guys! And since my birthday was October 4th, all I wanted was to finish this chapter before the day was over and I missed it by a few hours. LOL. Better luck next time… And special thanks to OMGOTH23 for her input. If she actually read the finished product she'll know what she did. On with the show…

Fly… -Chapter 4 – Holding my breath…

"Water is all you're going to have?" Marti asked as she killed another shot of Tequila.

"I told you I am preparing myself mentally. Nationals are coming and everything is going to get harder and harder from here on out." Savannah said as she took another swig from the water bottle.

"Party pooper." Marti said as she drank the last shot of the table. This was the first time that she and Savannah had been alone since they made love. She looked across the table at the girl and even though she was right there in front of her, Marti missed her. As soon as the qualifiers were over, she just wanted to go to the room that they shared and be back in the world they created for themselves.

"I am not trying to be a party pooper. I am just saying the entire team left 45 minutes ago and we are the only ones from the team still here…" Savannah mumbled.

"I know and thank you for doing that. But I am big girl and this is my mom's bar silly…" Marti said.

"Just trying to keep you focused…" Savannah was feeling pretty nervous. After she and Marti had sex, she had figured out that she was in love with her roommate. And that was a big leap for her. She had never had sex before that night and now she was in love with someone who may or may not be her girlfriend. Was Marti her girlfriend? Sure, Marti had said that she wanted to be Savannah to be hers but she never said anything more than that.

"Is that an order? Because I love it when you boss me around…" Marti smiled.

"No, it's been a long week and you are allowed to have fun…" Savannah's voice trailed off. She really wanted to know where she stood with Marti but she was scared to say anything. How was this supposed to work? She should just ask right? After all asking questions is the only way to get answers.

"Baby, is there something wrong?" Marti wasn't even buzzed from the two shots but she could definitely tell something was on Savannah's mind. Maybe something else happened with her family that they didn't talk about.

"What? What do you mean? I am totally fine. Like totally…" Savannah said.

"You know you don't have to lie to me…plus I can tell when you are lying…" Marti motioned for the waitress to bring two more shots to the table.

"No, you can't and I am so fine right now. Totally ok and totally not lying…" Savannah brushed her hair behind her ear and tried to think of what she was doing to give herself away.

"You say totally whenever you lie. It's cute…but something you should work on…" Marti smirked and spun the empty shot glass. She was still concerned but a little stoked that she was able to read Savannah so well.

"Oh. Well I don't usually lie but I just don't know to say this…" Savannah looked down at the table but she felt Marti's hand rest on top of hers. She looked up and her eyes locked on to the girl sitting across from her.

"You can talk to me about anything. I am not going anywhere." Marti said trying to reassure her.

The waitress brought another round of shots to the table and Savannah sighed. She did know that she trusted this girl more than anyone else in her life. All she had to do was tell her what she was feeling. And just because it didn't go well when she was honest with the other people she cared about, it didn't mean that things would go the same way with Marti.

"I don't know how this is supposed to work…" Savannah whispered.

"Do you mean the drinking? Generally, you ask for liquor and then the bartender brings you these glasses and you drink whatever is inside of them. And sometimes they have an umbrella." Marti smiled as she slammed another shot.

"No, I am not talking about drinking…I mean I don't know how we are supposed to work…"Savannah whispered again.

"You mean like you and me being a couple?" Marti thought that she had made that clear a few days ago and she felt a little pang of regret.

"Is that what we are? Are we a couple now?" Savannah asked.

"I said you were mine... I mean I thought that was pretty direct." Marti leaned in closer to her.

"I know what you said…but that was before…we had the sex…doesn't that change everything? I mean that …I mean…" Savannah ran her fingers through her hair. She knew that she had to finish saying what was on her mind.

"I mean, the other night was very special to me. I have never done that with anyone. Ever..." Savannah didn't know why she kept whispering but she could swear that everyone in the bar was listening to them.

"I didn't know that…" Marti couldn't believe it but of course she was a virgin. And she was her first. She honestly didn't know what to do with that. No wonder she had been acting so weird and plus she knew that she had been acting like it was no big deal.

"I know and I am not trying to make you feel guilty or like you did something wrong…" Savannah started to say but Marti held her hand and smiled.

"We should go home and talk about this…" Marti stood up from her seat, tossed some money on the table for the drinks and held her hand out for the shorter girl.

"Can I take you home?"

Savannah nodded yes and Marti took Savannah's hand and got up from the table. Marti interlocked her fingers with hers and kissed her on the cheek. Savannah rested her head on Marti's shoulder and they walked out of the bar.

Later on back at the room…

Once they got back to the room they sat down on Marti's bed in complete silence. Savannah was sitting with her legs crossed on the bed and Marti was next to her but her legs were hanging off the side. They both knew they were at crossroads in the relationship and neither knew exactly what this meant. This silence was killing Savannah so instead of letting it continue she just continued what she was saying before.

"I am not trying to make you feel guilty or like you did something wrong…I just need to know that this is for real…" Savannah said and Marti turned so she was facing her.

"This is very real to me, Savannah. Did I do something to make you think something different?" Marti got onto the bed and sat with her legs tucked underneath her. She gently took her roommate's hands in hers like she had done before.

"No…it's just we haven't talk about any of this and it made me feel a little worried…" Savannah admitted.

"It's not like that at all…"Marti whispered.

"Because I mean, I gave you something that I had been saving for a long time. And I was afraid that you weren't feeling the same way I was..." Savannah could see that her words were having an effect on her.

"I understand how special it was. But it was just special for you. It was special for me too. I just thought you knew that already…" Marti wasn't even looking at Savannah anymore.

"I need to hear why because…because…" Savannah paused. She knew what she was going to say if she kept talking. And once it was out there would be no way for her to take it back. But before she could say anything more, she noticed that Marti had a few tears rolling down her face.

"Savannah…you really don't know…" Marti asked. She didn't know why she started crying but she did. There was something about the way she spoke. She had never had someone be so honest with her. It really touched her heart. Marti took a deep breath hoping to calm down some but it wasn't working.

"Why are you crying?" Savannah asked. Marti still had her head down and she had closed her eyes.

"Because y-you don't understand…"Marti still had her eyes closed but she still spoke.

"See? I'm making things worse…I-I shouldn't have said anything…" Savannah stammered.

"Baby…it's not that at all…you are the realest thing in my life…and I should tell you what it is that I see…" Marti ran her fingers through her hair once more. She just needed to get her thoughts in order.

"You're just...it's...you're Savannah. No matter what you do or what you say you're just you and that's the sexiest thing ever, being true to yourself. You could be in sweats and a t-shirt and I will still find you sexy. I can't help but do a double take when you walk by. Even when you're frowning you still manage to be the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen. You love with all that you are and care for those who need it and even those that don't. And through all of this you don't ask for anything in return because you're selfless...I can keep going if you want" Marti said as she tried to wipe her tears away.

"I...I…" Savannah was floored. She couldn't believe that a girl like Marti felt that way about her. She couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Marti, I…I love you." Savannah whispered. She got off of the bed and walked over to the window. She stood there with her arms crossed and waited. Then she felt those familiar arms slide around her waist and the warmth that came from them. She took a deep breath in and exhaled. Marti still hadn't said anything to her yet.

"I know it is way too soon for me to say anything like that but I can feel it. I can't see myself without you. All I do is think about you and all day long, I am just counting down until I see you again…You are so fearless and strong. There is nothing you can't do. And I always feel stronger just from being near you. " Savannah closed her eyes and leaned against Marti.

"Baby…" Marti whispered. It was like a dream having Savannah in her arms. She just seemed to fit there and she didn't want to let her go. She held on to her tightly and kissed her on the neck. She didn't want to say anything just yet. She just wanted to stay in the moment for a little longer. She knew what she was going to say back to Savannah as soon as she said it. But she just wanted to hold on this second for as long as she could.

"Yeah…" Savannah answered. Marti turned her around and walked her back to the spot in between their beds where this whole thing between them started. Marti got down on her knees and Savannah did the same. They sat there just like before staring into each other's eyes. Savannah just smiled and a tear came out.

"You know, I left Memphis Christian to find myself. And I ended up finding you…you changed my world and…" Before she could say anything else, Marti placed her hand on the side of Savannah's face. She used her thumb to brush away the tear that was rolling down her face. She didn't let the captain's face go either. She leaned in and gave her a slow and gentle kiss. Once she broke the kiss, Marti looked into her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I love you too…" Marti whispered.

Savannah didn't even speak after that. She just stood up and walked over to the bedroom door. She slowly turned the lock on the door until she heard it click. At this moment they were the only two people in the entire world and that was exactly what Savannah wanted. She turned back around and looked at Marti who had stood up from her spot on the floor. Savannah reached behind her back and pulled the zipper on her dress down slowly. As she did that, Marti took off the jacket she was wearing and tossed it into the corner with the rest of her clothes. Savannah slipped her arms out her dress and held her chest to keep the dress from falling off of her.

Marti slid her pants down and took her shirt off throwing it into the same pile of clothes that and just like that she was naked. She could feel the smaller girl's eyes all over her form and it made her smile. Savannah finally let her chest go and the dress fell. She was naked as well.

Marti held her hand out for Savannah to take and led her to her bed. She turned the light off in the room but thanks to the full moon that was glowing outside there was enough light for them to still see each other. Savannah got in first and Marti crawled on top of her. Marti gave her a slow and deep kiss. She could feel the brunette's hands gently rubbing her all over. It really felt like her fingertips were setting off tiny little sparks every time they moved. She broke the kiss and started placing these tiny little kisses along her jaw and down to her neck and she starts sucking on it.

Savannah could not believe how amazing Marti was at this. Her mouth, her fingers and her tongue all knew exactly how to make her body feel. When she felt the blonde's lips on her neck, she didn't even know how to react to it. She just wrapped her arms around Marti and held on tight. She shut her eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of having the girl she loved touching her body.

Marti released her grip on Savannah's neck and continued her trail of kisses until she got to her chest. She slowly licked and kissed her way around each of her breasts. God she tasted better than she imagined. Marti kept on her path towards her ultimate goal. This time she didn't check to see if it was ok for her to keep going. She just knew it was.

Savannah gasped as she felt Marti's tongue slink around her belly button. Her hands were holding onto the headboard of her bed and braced herself what was coming next. The last time they were together like this Marti had made fall apart just by using her fingers. Now she was going to do something completely different and she didn't honestly know if she would be able to handle it. Her hands squeezed the headboard as she felt Marti's breath on her center. She felt one of Marti's fingers slip into her and she let out a moan.

"You are always so wet, Baby…it is so unbelievable…" Marti continued sliding her finger in and out slowly. She looked up at her girlfriend and watched her writhe around from just the way she was using just finger. It was the most amazing thing she had ever seen.

"Uhh…i-it's because of y-you…only you…you are the only one f-for me…" Savannah could barely speak anymore. Marti had only been doing this for a few moments but she was already teetering on the edge of her moment. Then she felt that amazing finger of Marti's slip out of her and be replaced by something even better. Marti's lips gently started pulling on her clit. But as she did it, she would stop doing that and starts sliding her tongue the length of her center.

"I love you so much Marti…unnnh...g-gawd…M-marti…" Savannah whimpered.

Marti looked up and watched Savannah gasping for air and practically convulsing. She had never seen anything like it. This girl was acting like this just from her touch. She wasn't doing anything special to her but still it made her feel like the most amazing lover in the world. She put her mouth back onto Savannah's clit and started sliding two of her fingers in and out of her once again. She could feel how close she was and started to move her fingers a little faster.

Savannah went silent and her whole body seemed to just lock up like in one giant muscle spasm. This feeling was more intense than the last time. She gripped the bedspread underneath her and tried to ride the feeling out. She could feel herself getting wetter during this spasm. It was like she had never been through anything like this.

"Oooh that's my baby…did you just come from me?" Marti rose from in between Savannah's long legs and smiled. She was so beautiful laying there trying to catch her breath and her hair plastered to her face. Marti kept sliding her fingers in and out at a steady pace as she spoke.

"Y-yeah…I couldn't…I couldn't hold it in anymore…" Savannah didn't even know where she was but she could feel Marti's fingers moving inside of her.

"I bet I could get you to do it again…" Marti grinned. She picked up the pace just a little bit to keep her there in that state of flux. She knew that she could keep her there. Marti didn't change her movement at all.

"Uhhhh…baby…I need a minute or two…"Savannah panted. She wasn't even sure where she was anymore. It was so beyond the last orgasm she had and Savannah knew she couldn't handle another one. She watched Marti rise up from the floor and then straddle her. She looked up at the beautifully naked cheerleader that was above her and smiled. Marti slowly brought her face down to Savannah's once again and looked into her eyes once more.

"You know, I love you and I will always make sure you know it…" Marti kissed her gently on the lips. The kiss didn't last that long but the meaning behind was clear.

"I love you too, Marti." Savannah smiled back. She was sure she was going to get her chance to make love to Marti but for right now, she knew that this was her girl and she wasn't going anywhere.
