Chapter 16

Evening in Cincinatti started quite nicely.

Crowded, smoky pub, which led down by the stylish stairs. Those stairs are surrounded by a finely decorated metal frame.

From the speakers flowed music band, who just gave a live concert. A dark-haired woman with a milky skin was sitting at a large wooden table with the rest of the movie team. She closed her incredible, green eyes, listening to the sounds coming from the top. Her slender fingers covered a glass with a drink.

"Some small not think what you do is right
Just might hold it against you
No matter how hard you try and fight
Some still small resent you "

The woman's voice was low, jazzy, intriguing. The song was styled on a dance era of the late 70's - early 80's. Rooney took a sip from the glass. These lyrics ... She winced slightly, feeling the sharp taste of alcohol. She remembered her embarrassment. She can't forget about it for long, shooting day. Those magnetic gleam in blue eyes was everything that she had. Rooney knew what, or rather for who is waiting. They were almost everyone.

Everyone - apart from Cate.

"I look around, it's clear to see
You need love just like me
I've seen enough to know by now
When love feels to show it, show somehow "

After a while, amidst the noise could be heard the clatter of heels. A dark-haired woman gulp drank the rest of the whiskey. She could feel her heart goes to the throat. She knew. This Australian accent, apologetic, low voice for being late work on her magnetically. The younger actress lifted her head. Their eyes finally met. And those eyes. Damn, blue eyes that haunted her all day today. Lyrics came to her lately: "You need love just like me.". She froze, unable to make a move, expanding her beautiful green eyes. She felt like a red slowly ascends on her cheeks. She was unable to hide it. The emotions flowing from the Cate's Blanchett eyes - this curiosity. Dedication? Love? The kiss from the morning, stood in front of her green eyes.

"Alright if it's coming
Straight from your heart
Ooh, you knew where to start. "

She felt her own eyes moved around the silhouette of an elder woman. She knew what kind of look she has. A look of longing. A look of hungry. Those wishing about to be alone with her. Just with her. Together. Certainly not in this crowd of people.

She saw how Cate smiled at her. After a moment, her voice broke the silence at the table.

- Can I sit next to you? - Cate asked in her saucy voice, winking at her significantly.

A dark-haired woman moved, staring at the floor. She did not want to know how her face looks at this moment. Rooney could feel the heat radiating from the body sitting so close to her.

"Let me see you coming, coming straight from your heart
(Straight from your heart)
Oh girl, you know where to start "

(Loose Change - Straight from the heart.)

She noticed how Jack brought next bottle. He smiled at her. He was nice. Jack caring when she was so stressful on the set. He had a nice dark eyes. She liked him, but nothing more. Not like ... Not like this actress, who was sitting next to.
Jack poured the whiskey. He asked about the same Cate. She nodded her head in response, proffering a glass. She was absorbed in conversation with Todd and Sandy.

Rooney was trembling inside. She picked up mechanically a glass and took a sip. She felt hot bottling up in her esophagus. This day was intense. First - her surprise coming over by Cate's earlier return. Then - this one, damned, coveted kiss. Kiss interrupted by Todd and Sandy - perhaps it's well that only through them ... In connection with the return Cate - Todd changed his plans. He wanted to shot Waterloo this day. She thought he did it on purpose. He knew perfectly well, that she has a birthday. Despite this, Todd took care of the smallest detail and to it that the two actresses feel comfortable inthe front of the camera. Cate Blanchett naked on birthday - Rooney thought, sipping a drink from a glass. She smiled to herself. She remembered perfectly first kiss by Cate on the set. Thirsty. Covetous. Cate's long fingers, seeking her hand. That's when barely she broke away from the soft lips, whispering: "Take me to bed." Her voice is shaking. When they were on the bed, she felt that her body was shaking. She knew immediately what happens. Cate slowly solved her robe, parting it gently from side to side. Cate's blue eyes moved over her pale body. Rooney saw how Cate smiles at her. Hardly. Smile only by the corners of her lips. After a while, the blonde woman slipped off her clothes. The younger actress wanted to reassure her. She ran her fingers gently along Cate's slender, bare back. She saw the woman moves to turn off the light. Rooney stopped her almost immediately, whispering: "Do not. I want to see you.". After the moment she felt Cate's lips on her. She froze. She answered her greedily. With all longing. With all the emotional baggage which she wore in her own soul for this week, when Cate was not beside her. She could not stop. Cate's shivering voice broke the silence. "You're trembling." It was like a statement of fact. Cate smiled, weaving her fingers into Rooney's dark hair. Cate pulled Rooney back to her body. They're kissed. Gently. Slowly. At this time it was her Cate, her Catherine, not Carol character. Rooney responded immediately, feeling how Cate's hand moves down, slowly on her own collarbone. Rooney put her hands over elder woman face and pulling her closer. Then she slipped her tongue between another woman lips. She did not have to wait long for Cate's response. Younger woman could feel blonde's slender hand caressing Rooney's breast. The dark-haired actress pulled back slightly, breathing loudly. Faster. After a moment of silent, throaty moan broke the incredible silence on the movie set. Rooney felt how Cate's tongue caressing her nipple. Elder woman started to suck it and lick it. It's like she started slowly draws by her mouth a path on younger actress body. Path to the down.

Suddenly, Rooney felt that someone touch her arm with laughing.

- Hey darling! This is your party, and you are absent! - Sarah said, sitting beside her. The dark-haired actress looked straight into hazel, shining eyes. She saw how Sarah laughs. The younger actress ashamed. Proposition of the evening birthday party sailed quite spontaneously. Rooney mostly would spend it in her own hotel room, but she knew that it was not proper. Only now she realized that three people sitting next to her had disappeared, while she fell completely into a world of her lusty "Waterloo" memories.

- Sarah, I had a really tough day. - Rooney whispered softly, feeling her own blushing even more. The blonde woman laughed softly and leaned over her. Rooney felt Sarah's hot breath on her ear.

- Waterloo. I understand that you can be absent. For God Damn, hell you saw Cate Blanchett completely naked. Who would not, sweetie. Who wouldn't want to be in your place? - she whispered and pulled away. Look of hazel eyes watched her face attentively. She smiled. - You're adorable snowflake. I'm glad of that, as a small child. Of course I'm not surprised of your decision. Believe me, I know that from personal experience, how hard is admit before self that you prefer women. In this case, it is heavier at least for Catherine, but you ... You're very young. I think your film roles are not chosen by chance you. Jumping on the Kinsey Scale in your case is still normal. - Sarah added more quietly and tapped her glass.

Rooney blushed even more, and said softly.

- Only that I ... - she paused, breathing loudly. Perhaps the amount of alcohol consumed has added her courage. Dark-haired actress always felt attacked as she had to say something more about her own feelings. - Sarah, you're so nice to me and ...

Sarah interrupted her and said quickly, in a low voice.

- Sweetheart, you can tell me anything. Believe me, I understand, and even counsel you more. I love women and I'll tell you that in the beginning it was a complete surprise for me. - She smiled and took a sip from the glass. - But I had a feeling that something is going on between you two... Awww, that's so sweet! - Sarah said with excitement in her voice, like Alice Pieszecki. Rooney laughed, shaking her head in disbelief.

- Sarah, I could not admit. I did not want. I ... It was not, until the final scene with Jack. It made me realize about what I really feel. I thought it was infatuation ... You know, it's Cate... Cate... - she stopped confused. - It's hard not to be enchanted by her. She is phenomenal ...

Sarah watched her intently in her wise, dark hazel eyes. She saw how the younger girl drunk a big sip from the glass. She grabbed her gently by hand to add her more courage. She was not sure whether Rooney starts to talking. However, Rooney approached at her and whispered.

- The first sex with her was... Oh, you know ... A little bit of alcohol. Cate had many problems. My heart bled. I can't think, I moved to her. I kissed her and ... It happened. Another one was more passionate. But all of this happened before, than we realized... - Rooney stopped blushing.

Sarah just nodded and smiled. Into her hazel eyes were visible understanding. Seeing that three people are coming back with something, she only added.

- Rooney, when you two will talk seriously, you will see what I mean. You will understand, why women. I see something in Cate's eyes, but I think you'll find it over time. - She said, laughing softly. After a moment, she pulled a dark-haired actress's hand.

- This is your day, baby! We have prepared a surprise! - Sarah said, and laughed again.
Rooney looked around and smiled radiantly. She had not expected that they are endeavor so much. They bought a big cake. They gave her a lot of wishes, and of course she received from each other a small gift.

She did not know that this evening is just beginning.

Evening as a prelude to fulfill her own dreams.

The blonde stepped out of the shower and looked in the steamy mirror. She rubbed them by hand and looked at her reflection. Scenes from the whole day passed before her eyes. She sighed loudly. She wanted to talk with Rooney so much. Her full, soft lips when she kissed her and the darkening green eyes. She could easily read, how much Rooney wanted her. How much she desires her. Elder woman pushed wet hair from her face and quickly established a bathrobe.

She looked at the bed by the corner of her eyes - she knew, she did not fall asleep. She took hurriedly another gift and a bottle of wine.

She hoped that the younger actress is still awake. When she stood in front of her door, she knocked. Blonde woman is taking a deep breath, mentally counting the seconds. Silence. Suddenly, she heard a quick steps.

- It's me, Cate. - she said, without waiting for the basic question. After a moment, the door opened. The blonde smiled, seeing a pale figure. - I hope, I do not wake you. - she said in a lower voice. Voice with a little care. Voice with a little puzzled.

- Come in. - younger actress said, letting her into the room. As soon as she closed the door, she looked at the hands of actress. The blonde woman put the wine on a small table and said after a moment.

- I can not sleep. Besides ... - she paused and looked straight into that damn, beautiful green eyes - There's your birthday. When I was in Australia and I saw these things. I immediately thought of you. - she added, slowly walking towards her. She handed her purse. - Open.

Her voice was soft. Rooney felt on her face a research blue gaze. Throughout the day, she is waiting for this moment. She wanted to jump and shout. Fall with a power into her arms and kiss her. Say everything in one breath. However, she did nothing. She sighed, trying to control her trembling hands - to opened the gift.

- Oh, Cate! - Rooney choked with compressed throat and looked at her in expanding amazement in her green eyes.

The blonde smiled playfully. Brushing her blonde wet hair behind her ears. - I hope that I found the right size.

Rooney took out a few t-shirts in the vintage style. Such as those she loved. The next one a large, warm, dark-colored scarf and small, suede box.

- I hope everything will be right for you, baby. - younger actress heard a lower Aussie, trembling voice. She noticed how Cate opened the wine and without waiting for approval poured alcohol into glasses. A dark-haired girl looked uncertainly at the box. After a moment she opened it and froze.

- Cate ... I .. - she replied confused. Her eyes rested again on the small ring of white gold. The ring was minimalist. Without unnecessary ornaments, for which she didn't like. She felt immediately, how red enters into her cheeks. She saw the bright blue eyes. This smile. She picked up the glass quickly and drank a gulp the entire contents. Now or never. - Rooney thought and went over to the woman. - Cate, I ... - she paused again, feeling the woman's hand on her. She closed her eyes and said with a lump in her throat. - I love you. So damn, I love you and I need you so much. Oh God.

She froze, closing her eyes. After a while she felt how actress grabbing her body by arms. She could smell the shampoo. Her perfume. She felt the warmth of her body. She was trembling. She could not calm down. Behind her back against the wall and felt the blonde's hand on her cheek. Cate raised face of younger girl and looked deep into her eyes.

- Honey, you do not know that I love you too? - she stopped smiling playfully. - I could not stop shaking my hands, when Todd said with a smile, that today will be the scene of Waterloo. I can not stop thinking about your lips, your voracious hands. Your naked body. - Cate paused, moving her hand on Rooney's full, pink lips. - What would you do if I have for you one more gift? - elder woman said it with a coquettish voice, looking into extending eyes of her beloved. - What would you have done if I will be your birthday gift? - Her lower, Aussie voice broke by trembling.

Rooney grabbed Cate by the hand and pulled her tightly to her own body. Their lips united in a kiss. Passionate. Full of longing. There was no understatement. Nothing mattered. Only her. Only the kiss and what she said. Time passed, and their tongues intertwined. They kissed breathless. Without limiting them resistance. And the chemistry between them. She smoked. Kindled even more desire. A dark-haired girl could not stand. By the one move of her hand, she slipped a bathrobe from the blonde actress. She saw Cate looks at her with mock indignation, and after a moment she smiles. So ordinary. Like not her. Rooney bit into earlobe Cate.

- Well, well, my Catherine wants to be a slave? From when? - she muttered by a lower voice. She could not control her through the waves of desire. The blonde under a soft bathrobe had only a black lace panties. Rooney moved her hands over Cate's face, neck, collarbones. She could not get enough of the softness of her skin. - You look beautiful. - Rooney added, blushing.

The blonde picked up on almost immediately.

- Since when Todd told me to go to bed in Waterloo with a lovely dark-haired actress. I just completely lost my head for you. - elder woman replied with a laugh in her voice. Nevertheless, Rooney knew how badly Cate wants her. Under her fingerprints she felt well a goose bumps on blonde's woman body. She saw in her eyes a darker flash. She did not have to ask.

She put Cate on the bed, hugging her tightly. Younger girl could hear how another heart is beating so fast. She closed her green eyes, feeling how blonde's hands attracted her tightly. Rooney laughed softly, stopping millimeters from Cate's face. They looked deeply into each other's eyes. They did not have to say anything. They knew.

"I need to let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I is not got no game plan "
(Roisin Murphy - Primitive)

They also knew, when Rooney tied Cate's hands. Before she depriving from slender body a last clothing. She tensed Cate's hands behind her own back. If that great and amazing woman wants to be her gift, she will be dictate the terms. - Rooney thought with a smile, biting into elder's woman neck. Silence was broken by a low moan. A dark-haired girl knew that woman wants her. She could see it into darker blue eyes. And now she had it out for self. For self. Whole blonde woman naked body. Rooney also noted that there is nothing more beautiful than the view of slim, sexy and pretty damn, aroused women. Shiny, darker blue eyes looked at her intently. Blonde woman breathing faster, harder, and reddened from recent touch lips were all that she has in this, one moment.

"I know what you're searching for
I pray you find it on your instinct "

Time passed. Unsaturated Rooney's hands roamed the blonde's body. Dark-haired actress smiled to herself. She is getting to know her better. She studied her reaction. Slowly. Without a rush. She caressed Cate's body by a tongue, leaving the track for her mouth. She touched her breasts. She teased her nipples by a tongue, seeing more and more powerful Cate's face blush. Her entreaties, sighs and requests pierced the silence in the room. And those gaze of blue eyes. This look with devotion. This look with love and wanting.

"I want to let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I is not got no game plan (primitive love for me)"

- Oh God! - Oh, I beg you, Rooney. - Blonde moaned, resting her head on Rooney's shoulder. Cate sat on the bed astride. Her hands was still tied. Rooney was sitting right behind her. Agile, voracious hands still caressed her slender body. Rooney moved her hand up Cate's thigh. Slowly. Hearing of exciting moan from partner throat, she could not wait any longer. Moan, who was everything. Those kind of moan which spoke one thing. "Fuck me."

- Oh ... - she whispered into the blonde's ear. - Extend your legs. - Rooney added, smiling slyly. At the one, magical moment, she felt how hot and wet is Cate.

- Wow - the dark-haired girl said with a voice of undisguised amazement. - So what now, my slave. Those kind of waiting is worth everything. - Rooney said in a trembling voice. Without waiting for an invitation, she slipped into Cate's one finger. For a moment she added a second one and accelerated. The blonde did not remain indebted. She moved her hips up and down. Rooney saw everything. She could see the muscle twitching in Cate's face. She could see the blush slowly upward to the neck and chest of her beloved woman. She could feel her trembling. Harder and harder.

For that one moment it was worth waiting a few hours. She ripped, burned, and went on. Further pressed on each other, forgetting about the whole world. Now there was only Catherine. Her moans, hip movements.

There were no borders. Rooney added another finger, this time elsewhere. Cate extended her dark blue eyes, muttering disapprovingly, that probably her lover made a mistake. Dark-haired girl by another hand caressed Cate's most erogenous place. She do not interrupt the moment.

In this one magical, moment, a loudly, spasmodic cry broke the silence. A few frantic seconds. Flooded pleasure. The body of the blonde stopped for a moment. She was trembling hard, arched. Her blonde head rested on Rooney's shoulder and looked into her eyes deeply.

Rooney eyes moved around the flushed cheeks, neck and neckline of her beloved. On Cate's blue sparkling eyes. Blonde woman smiled with embarrassed. Rooney solved quickly an elder's woman hands. Younger actress saw how Cate rubbed her wrists. Suddenly she smiled and pounce into Rooney's body with a full force. There were such moments nestled in each other, not saying anything at all. Absorbing what had just happened between them.

After a moment Cate's laughter broke the silence.

- God! It was so beautiful. I just need to smoke the cigarette. - elder woman said in a lower voice, moving her slender fingers under the Rooney's collar bone. - I'll tell you, my Sweetheart, that it was the best sex of my life. Of course so far. - she reply playfully and kissed her on the lips. - I love you. - she added in lower, trembling Australian accent. They watched each other for a moment. After a moment Cate said.

- How did you know ... - she stopped blushing. - How did you know that I would like your fingers into my...

A dark-haired girl laughed, seeing for the first time how elder woman is embarrassment. Her beloved actress. Her beloved woman. Rooney rolled her green eyes and said.

- You know, Darling, you were so incredible wet. I had to come up with something. I thought that you have a really nice ass. And it just happened. - Rooney added, slapping Cate's buttock.

Cate laughed from the answer and hugged her tightly.

- I hope you know my Angel, that this night for you will be a much longer? - she replied coquettishly and kissed her.

Dawn.

The next wave of pleasure flooded their bodies. They could not get enough of each other.

From the dream woke them a loud noise. They picked up with fear, burrowing into each other arms. Someone walked through the hotel hallway and pounding on every door.

- Damn, where is this slut? - they heard the screams.

Cate looked at Rooney with a disbelief in her lovely blue eyes.

She froze.
