Fly… -Chapter 8 – Every time I fix it something else breaks…
"Why did you think that you had to leave?" Savannah asked as she played with some strands of Marti's hair. A few hours had passed since they had made love and Savannah had taken shower. Savannah had on a long Lancer t-shirt that hung off of her shoulder and Marti was wearing her usual tank top and boy shorts. But she and Marti had been lying there taking turns holding each other and not saying a word. However, the head cheerleader felt like it was time for the pair to talk.
"I don't know. I just thought that you didn't need to lose your family because of a change in your lifestyle." Marti whispered. She had let Savannah hold her for the last hour or so. They had been switching for the last 2 hours but this time, Savannah hadn't let her switch. It was her way of saying they were going to have the talk now.
"Did I do something to make you think that?" Savannah asked.
"No. I had this dream. It was a really intense dream and in it you told me that you would always choose your family over me. And when I talked to Dan the other day, he suggested that this was a fling for you. And they both hit a nerve…" Marti tried to sit up but Savannah just held her in place.
"Is there a reason why you won't let me get up?" Marti huffed.
"Because I just wanna hold you…" Savannah said innocently.
"Because you think I am going leave if you let me go?" Marti said.
"Besides the Hellcats, you are the only thing I have that is mine. And for two days I thought I had lost you…I just need to hold you. Just for a little while longer ok?" Savannah squeezed her tightly. She just wanted Marti to know how much she really did miss her. And even though she did that early when they made love but she wanted to do more than just have sex with her. She wanted to make her see that she was an important part of her world. That when she wasn't with her, everything felt wrong.
"I didn't want to leave you. But I just couldn't let you make a choice like…" Marti whispered.
"How did you know I wasn't going to pick you?" Savannah asked.
"I don't know. I just thought that…maybe I wasn't important enough…" Marti sighed.
Savannah let Marti go and got up from the bed. She didn't know why Marti kept going back to thinking that she didn't matter. Savannah started pacing back and forth. How did she make Marti feel like this? Why didn't see that she would always choose her? Maybe if she just said it. But she had said before. Everything was just fine a few minutes ago and now Marti doubted her intentions again.
"Baby, why do think like that?" Savannah asked.
"Like what?" Marti leaned against the headboard.
"I would never choose anything over you. Just tell me what I can do. Tell me what I can do to make you feel better. I would do anything to make you feel secure…" Savannah said.
"Who said you are doing anything wrong?" Marti asked.
"You did when you decided leaving was the best way to deal with this issue." Savannah said.
"What else was I supposed to? Sit here and discuss it? I did what was best for both of us. And the best thing was for me to leave." Marti scooted down so she was sitting on the foot of the bed and ran her fingers through her hair. She was starting to feel that uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Look, can we just drop this? No point in stirring this up again." Marti said.
"No we can't just drop it Marti. You are not allowed to make all of choices in this relationship! I have just as much say as you." Savannah walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed next to the blonde.
"And I say that what you did wasn't the best thing for us. It was the worst choice you could have made." Savannah said.
The brunette's words hit Marti a little harder than she wanted to admit. Why did she always feel like leaving was the best choice when it came to her heart? And why did she want to run away now? This wasn't going to work. She was going to screw this up and lose Savannah for good. It was just a matter of time. Marti's foot started bouncing up and down as she tried to fight the urge to get up to just leave.
Savannah looked over and noticed that Marti was nervously bouncing her foot up and down. And she understood what needed to be done. She walked in front of Marti and kneeled in front of her. She gently held hands and smiled. She had to make Marti feel like she was important.
"Marti, I love you and I know you feel like you have to take care of everybody but I don't want you to do that. I just wanna take care of you. But you have to promise me, that you will tell me what is going in that head of yours. Good or bad. You can tell me." Savannah said.
"Would you still love me if I still think I should go?" Marti closed her eyes as a tear slipped out.
"I don't want you to go anywhere. I want you to stay right here with me." Savannah answered.
"You should just let me go…" Marti whispered with her eyes still closed. Savannah had to know she was going to ruin this. Her family would never accept this. Neither would the squad. They were doomed. And the sooner, Savannah saw it the better.
"Never." Savannah answered. She stood up and pulled Marti over to the mirror. They stood there in front of their reflections for a moment. Savannah slid her arms around Marti and rested her chin on Marti's shoulder. Of course she had to get on her tippy toes to do it but she didn't mind.
"Look in the mirror." Savannah whispered into the taller girl's ear. Marti shook her head no and looked away.
"Baby, look in the mirror." Savannah gave her a gentle squeeze and Marti looked into the mirror. Savannah kissed the back of Marti's shoulder.
"I will never let you go. I will never let you just walk away from me. Do you remember what you told me that night when we left the bar?" Savannah asked.
"Yeah…" Marti said weakly.
"You told me, I was the realest thing in your life. You said that I love with all that I am and care those that need it and even those that don't. And you called me selfless." Savannah squeezed her once again.
"You remembered all of that?" Marti said sounding a little shocked.
"Of course I did. I remember everything you say to me." Savannah answered. Marti slid Savannah in front of her and wrapped her arms around her. She took a deep breath and inhaled the sweet smell of the girl in front of her.
"And I told you that I can't see myself without you. So the next time you feel like leaving, I want you to remember this one thing." Savannah turned so that she was facing Marti. She looked up into her eyes and just stared into them. How could she ever doubt her feelings? Couldn't she feel her heart pounding in her chest? She brought her hand up to the back of Marti's head and took another deep breath in.
"And what is that?" Marti said breathlessly. How did Savannah always know what to say? Was she still scared? A little bit but that couldn't be helped. After all, Marti had never had anyone like Savannah in her life.
And Savannah believed in her.
"You are stuck with me, Marti Perkins." Savannah moved in and gently pressed her lips against Marti's.
Marti moaned into the kiss immediately. There was something that happened to her every time she kissed her. She felt a connection to this girl. A connection that went deeper than anything Marti had ever experienced before. As she opened her mouth to deepen the kiss, she felt the sweetness that was Savannah's tongue rubbing against hers. She could still taste herself and that was amazing. Marti put her hand on the small of Savannah's back and pulled her closer.
Savannah felt a tingle shoot through her as her breasts brushed against Marti's. It was amazing to her that slightest touch from Marti would send her mind into a whirlwind. Her knees felt like they might buckle from feeling her hand on her back. Then she felt Marti's hands on her ass and the blonde was lifting up from the floor. God she was so strong. Savannah instinctively wrapped her legs around Marti's waist and locked her ankles on the small of Marti's back.
"Take the shirt off…" Marti growled.
Savannah pulled the shirt over her head and as soon as her breasts were exposed, Marti's mouth was all over her chest. Her tongue slid all over her petite chest and she paused to suck her nipples each time she went past them. Savannah felt her body vibrate from Marti's actions.
Marti turned and put Savannah down on the bed. She was on top of her once more. Marti was all over her; sucking her neck, squeezing her breasts, and rubbing that magic spot between her legs like a woman possessed. Savannah could only whimper from the actions. She couldn't do anything but enjoying the amazing assault that Marti was performing. They were so lost in the moment that they didn't even hear the knock at the door and the turning of the handle. The door to the bedroom whipped open and Alice marched into the room like she owned the place.
"Savannah, we need to talk about the routine…" Alice paused and saw Marti and Savannah on the bed
"Alice! Get out!" Savannah tried to cover herself as she shouted from underneath Marti.
"I fucking knew it." Alice said as she crossed her arms and smirked.
"I knew I should have stayed gone." Marti sighed.
