Chapter 4- Acceptance

Sunday morning- Sylia Stingray's residence

The next morning, Linna woke up early and thought about going home. She had been at Sylia's for almost 24 hours, and didn't want to wear out her welcome. She turned and looked at the sleeping face of her lover, before she began to climb out of the luxurious bed.

Sylia looked so young and peaceful as she slept. Linna thought to herself that she had never seen such a innocent expression on her leader's face before, and felt touched that she was probably one of the few who had.

Linna quietly climbed out of bed, and began to pull on the clothes she had wore the previous day(seemed like she was out of them more,than she wore them anyway). As she pulled her clothes on, the older woman began to wake up, reaching out for her lover, then realized she wasn't lying beside her.

"Sweetie, where are you going? Why don't you come back to bed? It's still early." Sylia asked as she sat up, and the covers fell away, and exposed her beautiful naked body.

Linna still blushed at the sight of her. "I'm tempted, but I'd better get home. I still have some things to do before I go back to work tomorrow." she told her lover.

The silvery haired woman climbed out of bed, and went and wrapped her arms around the younger woman. "Can I at least get a good morning kiss?" She asked, as she bent and slowly kissed her on her neck.

As it turned out, Sylia got her way and convinced Linna back into her bed.

About a hour or so later -

The two women came out of the bedroom and could smell the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen, where Henderson was preparing breakfast.

"Henderson! How was your day off?" Sylia said, as she came into the kitchen with Linna trailing behind her.

"It was most relaxing, Miss Sylia." he replied, then he noticed the young brown haired woman with her. "Are you staying for breakfast? I have made plenty." Henderson told her graciously.

"Well, it does smell so good..." Linna replied, feeling quite hungry.

"Of course she is! I'll set another place for her." the owner of the house said, as she began to set out the dishes.

As the women focused on the table setting, Nene walked into the room.

"So I guess you two were busy having sex all night? she remarked cattily.

The Knight Saber leader turned around angrily. "Nene, you forget I am still your team leader, and Linna is your teammate! Do not talk to us like that!"

"Please, be nice. All we did was sleep last night." Linna added, wondering why her friend was being like this.

The blonde girl laughed. "Yeah, but only because who knows how long you two had been going at it before!"

"STOP IT!" Sylia yelled, giving the young girl a warning to change her tone.

Finally things quieted down as the three women and Henderson sat down to eat their breakfast. Mackie was busy working on a project of his and didn't join them.

After a while, Nene started up again. She looked over at Linna sitting across from their leader and asked her "What about Priss?"

Linna dropped her fork. "W...What do you mean?" she asked, cautiously.

Sylia looked over at her lover's now blushing face. She hated to admit it, but she was interested to know just what their relationship had been.

"Well, wasn't she your lover too? You both seemed awfully close right before we went to fight Galatea. Kiss-Kiss" the blonde hacker said, and smacked her lips together.

Linna threw down her napkin and stood up. "It's none of your business! And why does that even matter anymore? Priss is gone, and I don't have to listen to this from you! I thought you were my friend!" the young woman cried and stormed off.

Henderson and Sylia both stared at the blonde, who finally began to look and feel ashamed. She started to go after her but her leader stopped her.

"Nene, that was uncalled for! How could you be so insensitive?'" Sylia told her angrily, and went to find Linna herself.

She found her standing outside the entrance to "The Silky Doll" which was closed on Sundays.

"I'm sorry about that, Linna. I never dreamed she'd be so upset! I'm sorry that she mentioned Priss. I know how it feels when I sometimes think of Nigel." she looked at her new lover sadly.

The younger woman blinked away the tears that had been falling down her face, and turned to face Sylia.

"I loved Priss, but it wasn't like what you and Nigel had. You two were a family. Priss didn't know what she wanted. We only had one intimate encounter together. It was shortly before we went to fight Galatea. I had visited her and we both ended up a little drunk. I always had let her know that I liked her. But on this night we ended up being together. It was wonderful.. but it was my first and only time with her." Linna stopped and took a deep breath and wiped her eyes.

She continued "When we were on our way to fight Galatea, I had fell asleep on the way and Priss had knocked on my helmet and said "Wake up, sleeping beauty." to which I responded "Without a kiss, no frigging' way!." I was kidding, but she opened my helmet and kissed me. I didn't know Nene was watching, and I don't think Priss did either. That was our last kiss, and soon the last time I would ever see her again. I'm sorry, Sylia. I hope I haven't upset you but I wanted you to know." Linna said, sadly.

"It's my fault! Galatea killed millions because of me! I killed Priss! I think I lost Nigel because God decided I needed to lose someone as well. I have a drunk driver to blame but you have me to blame! You should hate me, Linna!" Sylia cried out, as she balled her hands into fists and cried.

Linna felt stunned. "I don't hate you at all! I love you! What do you think yesterday, and this past year has been about? You didn't kill Priss! Galatea did, as far as we know! Or she might still be alive! She was such a loner, and always needing her freedom. She might have decided to leave us all behind. She wasn't like you, Sylia. She was never gonna stay pinned down for long. Our relationship never would have lasted, I bet."

The young woman reached over and embraced her still crying silver haired lover. "Sylia, I know I can't compare to what you had with Nigel. You both had been together so long. My relationship with Priss was only one lovemaking session, some kisses, and intense flirting. I don't really know what a real relationship is like. But I feel like you and I are making a good start together." Then she started to kiss her lover's tears away.

"I meant it when I said I love you, Linna. Yesterday was the happiest I've been in so long. I'm not Priss and you aren't Nigel. They belong to our past. I only see you when we make love, and I hope you feel the same about me." Sylia said, as she pulled back and looked deep into her lover's eyes.

" I always have been a bit in love with you. Ever since you touched my cheek that first time we met, I always wondered how it would feel to be your lover. I know now, and it's better than I ever imagined." Linna said, as she and Sylia kissed each other softly. Then they turned to walk back into the house.

"What about Nene though? Do you think she'll ever accept us together?" the younger
woman asked her lover.

"She'll have to if she wants to work with us as a team. I know Mackey doesn't mind. Hopefully, his attitude will rub off on Nene. Maybe she's jealous in some way. You were together on that island for weeks." Sylia half-joked.

"Maybe she's afraid I'll get better treatment as a Knight Saber, since I'm dating the boss." Linna said, thoughtfully.

"I'll have to talk to her that I consider our professional life just that. I'm not playing favorites. I'd better let her know how much we need her for the team. Hopefully that will help her feel more secure."

"I hope so. I guess I better go home before it gets too late." Linna said, already missing the time with her lover. Sleeping in her small bed, wasn't going to be as pleasant as curled up with Sylia, in her silky sheets and big soft bed.

"You could call in sick tomorrow. Stay another night with me." Sylia suggested. "Besides, Nene will be leaving to go home herself shortly."

" I bet no one has ever told you no when you ask like this, have they?" Linna laughed, knowing she couldn't resist another night with this amazing woman.

"I take that as a Yes, then?" the older woman said. Then they quietly moved back into Sylia's room without being seen by anybody.

And Sylia spent a good part of the day showing Linna what a real relationship could be like.
