Day 20: Why Do You Love Me?
It had been two hours ago since Elphaba and Glinda decided to lay down for the night. Elphaba had surprisedly fallen asleep, within the first hour, and it was the blonde who was wide awake. As the green woman slept Glinda found herself gently stroking Elphaba's raven hair as she let her mind wander.
"Oh, my Elphie, you are so smart and beautiful. Why? Why do you love me?" Glinda whispered. "I love fashion. You love science. I love to buy clothes and shoes, and you love to buy books and lab materials. I love to go to parties, and you rather just sit and home and read. I crave attention, and you rather fade off into the shadows. But every time I start to doubt, you always know what to say or do to send that doubt away."
Just then Elphaba stirred slightly and her eyes opened. She gave a smile to her blonde girlfriend and lifted her head up slightly.
"Glinda, are you alright?" Elphaba asked, when she noticed the strict expression on the blonde's face.
"I was just thinking that's all," Glinda replied, as her brow came slightly together in a way that made the green girl smile.
"About new shoes and new clothes?" Elphaba joked.
"No, silly, I was thinking about you." Glinda answered, as she kissed a green cheek. "Elphie, my love?"
"Hmm?" Elphaba replied, in a sleepy tone.
"Why do you love me?" Glinda asked.
The green woman lifted her head up slightly as she gave a sleepy sigh before answering, "I just do."
"I don't like that answer," Glinda replied, with a huff.
"My heart has chosen you. Is that a better answer?" Glinda let out a soft murmur, laid her head back down, and moved so her back was facing the green woman.
"Glinda, are you cross because of the answer I have given you?" Elphaba asked, as she rose up slightly and nudged the blonde. When Glinda didn't answer, Elphaba moved slightly until she spooning the blonde before kissing her on the back of the neck a few times. "Glinda? Glinda, please answer me." Glinda waited a second or two before turning around, so she was facing the green woman.
"Elphie, I'm not cross," Glinda whispered.
"Prove it then," Elphaba answered, in a tone that was more like a drill sergeant than a lover.
Glinda was shocked by the tone her green love just used, but found herself aroused from it as well. She waited a moment or two before pressing her lips to Elphaba's own. The kiss they shared was passionate, not to mention, enough proof to prove to Elphaba that Glinda wasn't cross with her.
"Why do you love me?" Glinda asked, in a whisper. "I just don't get it. I'm anything but prefect."
"You are Glinda. My Glinda, and I love you just the way you are," With those words Elphaba kissed her blonde lover once again.
Glinda clearly liked this answer for she returned the kiss with just as much passion. She then laid her head on Elphaba's shoulder and quickly fell asleep.
