After I was ready I went into the living room where Jane, Maura, Alex, and Dylan were all waiting for me. Dylan was the first to speak "Baby, you look amazing"

"Thanks, you look gorgeous, but umm come on we should go" I said as I took her hand and we said our goodbyes and left.

We were nearly done dinner, and Dylan was telling me about her night out with her friends when in the middle of what was a funny story my face hardened and I began to mutter obscenities under my breath. Dylan looked up at me taking my hand, rubbing it gently with her thumb "Honey what's wrong?"

"Umm, babe I'm sorry I really am, but umm excuse me" I said then got up and all but ran to the bathroom.

A few minutes later I heard the clicking of heels, and a soft tap on the stall door "Serena, can you please come out and talk to me about what's wrong?"

"Just give me a minute okay" I said trying to keep my voice from revealing I was crying. I was successful until I came out of the stall and she saw my red eyes and tear marks along with my smeared make up. I told her I was fine and that I would just meet her at the table after I fixed myself.

On my way back to my seat I saw our waiter and paid the bill, upon returning it Dylan couldn't help but notice the girl sitting just slightly to the side and in front us, shooting daggers into the back of my head. When I saw that my gorgeous girlfriend was about to engage in some not so lady like behaviours, I grabbed her hand and told her we were leaving, but of course we had to walk by that girl. That horrible girl, upon passing it was quite obvious that she wanted us to hear her telling her boyfriend that I was this huge dyke and so on and so on, and how repulsive it was. This was not exactly how I had envisioned this night going, I had no intention of having to essentially drag Dylan out the door before she could cause harm to the girl who was bad mouthing me.

However the next part I took a small delight in. For being the ones to cause the scene, they were asked to leave and when Dylan saw them coming she pulled me in for a heated kiss. When we broke apart, she asked "What's that girl's problem with you?"

"Well we went to the same high school and well I wanted to eat the rainbow and well she just wanted to taste it" I said as they walked past, the boy that she was with I knew as well and he and I had actually been friends once upon a time, and we watched as he stopped threw her hand away from his and left in the other direction. When we were younger he and I were rather close, he lived just down the road and he was my best friend, he was the first person to know that I was gay, and the only reason that we weren't friends anymore was just because of the drifting that happened as we got older and developed different interests.

"Dyl, I hope you won't let this ruin our night though" I said kissing her softly

"Me, I was just hoping that we could go back to the good time that we were having before you saw that bitch, if you want I could take her out for ya? You'd just have to hold my shoes"

"That's very sweet hun but you wouldn't just be box blocking yourself, you be box blocking Jane too so that she could help you avoid any police action, and I have better things planned tonight than a trip to the police station. Come on" I said tugging her hand "How about we walk home Rocky"

"well alright" she said lifting our twined hands to place a kiss on mine.

When we were standing on the front porch, she was unlocking the door, when I walked up right behind her and whispered in her ear "Do you trust me babe?"

"Implicitly S, Why?" she asked

"just because" I said as I pulled the black satin scarf that I'd been hiding in my back pocket, and tied it around her head covering her eyes.

I opened the door and led her to the couch "You wait here I'll be right back, but don't you dare peek," I said and ran upstairs to turn everything on and spread the petals on the bed and placed the already set plate of strawberries on the side table. Once everything was set I returned to the couch

"Miss me?" I whispered into her ear, causing her head to snap in my direction.

"always" she said

"Stand up" I said and she did carefully I guided her up the stairs and to the bedroom. Once at the door I stood in front of her and asked "You want this on or off?" while kissing the right and then the left eye, over the scarf.

"Off, you are most definitely up to something and I want to see it" she said almost giddy

"Alright," I said "but you have to close your eyes till I say you can open them then"

Removing the blindfold and stuffing it back into my pocket, I kissed her soft lips and when we parted I told her to open eyes. Upon seeing the set up, her eyes became watery, and she wrapped her arms around me, one around my back, and the other into my hair "This is amazing" she said before closing the distance between our lips.

It became an unspoken mutual agreement that we were moving to the bed now. I spun her around before we reached the bed so that when we did I would be on top.

She hit the bed and fell back on ittaking me down with her not that I minded. We moved up the bed so that she was resting against the headboard now. I pulled away from her and moved to the table where the wine was chilling and poured us each a glass, after handing her hers, I grabbed the plate and moved back to my position on top of her. We clinked our glasses and sipped, after I picked up one of the strawberries and brought it to her mouth where she bit it. We fed each other strawberries and drank our glasses of wine, and when they were gone, I moved the dishes back to the table.

Once I was seated in her lap again I was feeling so nervous about my pending question and the toy currently under the pillow beside her.

"S you look nervous, are you?"

"Well a little babe, I was going to ask you something but now it just seems like a stupid idea and I don't know"

"What is it honey?" she asked tilting my head up to look into my eyes "Please Serena, what is it ask me" she said softly.

"Well I was...it's just that... ugh why is this so hard, I was reading one of Maura's books and in it, it said that when in a committed happy relationship it's healthy and good for the relationship to try new things sexually, so I did all this tonight so that I could I don't know see if maybe you wanted to take our sexual relationship to the next level, but I totally understand if you don't want to"

"what do you mean? Are you not happy with it? Because well the last time you seemed pretty happy with it"

"No baby, please don't make it into one of those conversations, you and I are both well aware of how much I enjoy sex with you, but I was reading how in lesbian relationships using...um...toys can bring us closer."

"Oh, you want to try us having sex with a strap on?"

"Yeah, but if you don't then its cool, don't worry about it and we can just continue our amazing sex."

"Okay yeah let's do it...umm who wears it? You or me?"

"Well I was kind of thinking that this time at least that maybe I would. Would that be okay?"

"Alright"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Have you ever used one before?"

"Used one yes, but I've never been on the receiving end of it though, but I trust you implicitly"

Taking a deep breath in and letting it out with a whoosh and an "okay" I pulled it out and I used it for the first time on her and she loved it. We made love for hours and fell asleep naked, and wrapped up in each other.

In the morning I woke up first, my head in the middle of Dylan's chest, my arms wrapped around her and our legs entangled. Alternately, her arms were wrapped so tightly around me that when I went to move away so I could pee, it didn't happen and caused her to stir.

"Baby go back to sleep" I whispered

"No, why are you leaving?"

"I have to pee. I promise I'll be right back after"

"Okay" she said reluctantly and released me.

On my way back I grabbed my phone that I'd heard dinging with an alert. I crawled back in and we resumed our position, minus my one arm now looking at my phone instead of being wrapped around her waist.

"Shit" I said though it was muffled by my face being pressed against her body

"What?"

"Jane called me last night. She knew what was going to happen last night, so it must have been important"

"Did she leave a message?"

"Yeah" I said dialing into my voicemail and putting it on speaker

The animated voice came on "You have 1 new message to hear your message press 1" following the prompt I pressed 1 and it continued "Sent today at 3:23 am from Jane Clementine Rizzoli" after that the animated voice cut out and it the message was a series of groans and moans, and ending with "Oh fuck Maur don't stop oh gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwd, "

Ending my voicemail call and throwing my phone on the night stand "guess they had a good night too" Dylan laughed out.

"Eww! It's been bad enough seeing them now I gotta hear it on my phone?" I complained and snuggled impossibly more into my girlfriend.

"Why didn't you delete the message?"

"I'm going to talk to them about that later" I said then followed it with "now, shh I'm trying to forget I ever heard that and remember how amazing you were last night"

"Am I at least in your top 5 now?"

"Oh baby, you're in my top 3"

"Good, now how about instead of trying to remember how good we were last night, I help you create a new memory of how good I am this morning." She said and effectively pinned me
