Part 19.
The ride to the flat was full of anticipation. They both sat in the back of the taxi, shoulders pushing into each other and their fingers heavily entwined. Sophie sat there, her eyes facing forwards intently glaring at the cabby's rear view mirror. With every breath she took, her heart seemed to flutter some more. The air seemed to catch in her throat and she seemed to be inhaling more than she could push out. Her eyes were becoming lazy with the light-headedness she was feeling, and with every squeeze of her fingers Sian gave, and every time she ran her leg tantalisingly slowly up against her shin, Sophie was forced to try and hold it all in. She thought that even if she stole a glance at her gorgeous blonde, she would have to have her right there and then, and although she assumed the driver wouldn't mind, she definitely didn't want to run the risk of being arrested for that kind of thing... again. Soph calmed her breathing as she remembered her mother's face at the police station the following day.. no, she certainly couldn't risk that again. The brunette met the driver's eyes in the mirror as he casually looked away, and then back again. It caused her to smirk, he was definitely waiting for them to kiss or something. And God how she wanted to kiss her girlfriend, she wanted to lay her down and kiss her all over. Or push her against a wall and kiss her until her knees went weak. Or lift her onto the dining table in the flat and rip all her clothes off.. Sophie closed her eyes, she wasn't sure how much longer she could wait.
She felt the car slow to a stop and the brunette pushed out a long breath. She felt Sian lean into her and then she felt her lips at her ear. It made Sophie's whole body tingle and she had to slightly tilt her head a bit to try and get away, although she didn't want to. Her eyes had fallen shut but as Sian's lips whispered in her ear they opened again, and she had to swallow down the added arousal she suddenly felt. Sophie's head turned to look at Sian as the blonde exited the car, her eyes refusing to blink as her tongue lightly ran across her lips. It was always a shock when Sian talked dirty. To look at her you wouldn't think she was capable of such words, but she was, and it always did things to Sophie when she did. It always made her pause as she thought about Sian actually doing those things, and above all it made her exceptionally wet.
Sian slammed the door shut and it brought Sophie back to reality. She hurriedly reached into her pocket and paid the driver before almost tripping over herself to get out of the car. She slammed the door and stood on the cobbles looking at her girlfriend at the door to their flat, reaching into her bag for the keys and fumbling in the lock. Sophie put her hands in her pockets and smiled, this was the moment her life began again, and she felt her chest lift as if all the years of upset and torment had left her, and all that was left was happiness and optimism. Her eyes drifted up and rested on the window that was their living room, and for a moment she remembered.. and it caused her to swallow, and for a second she let it hurt her. Her tongue had come out and she held it between her teeth; she didn't want to think about it, what happened, way back when, but she couldn't help it.
Her eyes came back to Sian who had managed the lock and the door was half open, she stood looking over her shoulder at Sophie with the most mesmerising smile touching her lips. Her blue eyes were sparkling as she gazed at Soph, and even with the distance between them it somehow made the brunette feel safe and secure. Any kind of fear fled from Sophie in that moment and instantly her heart beat happily again in her chest.
"Are you coming?" Sian grinned, and then she turned her head and disappeared up the stairs.
Oh yeah Sophie was coming.. it made the brunette inwardly giggle. She was pretty certain she'd be coming for the rest of her life, as long as Sian was doing the pulling. And Sophie crossed the cobbles towards her flat and raced up the stairs after her girlfriend.
She promised herself she wasn't going to think about the past, and as she got to the top of the stairs, she slowly pushed the door open and was back in their flat, for the first time in four years. It made her pause for a minute, and she refused to let her legs take her back down the stairs. She looked around for Sian but she couldn't see her. All she could see was the sofa; it was as if her eyes automatically fell there, and it made her feel unbelievably anxious. The brunette's mouth went very dry and she felt agitated, and her heart echoed the feeling in her chest. Her mind went to Sian, she needed her and so her eyes tried to find her out in the dimmed lighting. Sophie's forehead scrunched up a little bit as she concentrated on her search, her fingers running up and down her thumbs with nervousness, and then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Sian half turned her around and pushed her gently against the wall. She pushed her body into the brunette and rested her hands on Soph's shoulders, the blonde's forearms against her chest. Sian rubbed her fingers softly along her collarbones and then lightly over her shoulders, continuing the pattern over and over, attempting to sooth the worry out of her girlfriend.
"I think you're amazing", Sian whispered, as she gently placed a kiss on Sophie's lips. The blonde pulled away and curled her lips into a smile as she witnessed Soph relax and slowly open her eyes, and Sian looked into them intently. "Thank you, for coming home with me", the blonde finished, her fingers lightly tugging on Soph's clothes.
"I'd come anywhere with you", Sophie answered in just as much of a whisper. Her chest was expanding again, the familiar sensation of Sian pushing against her igniting years of suppressed desire. She licked her lips as she gazed into Sian's beautiful blue eyes. Sophie pulled her even closer, "I want you so much.."
Sian rested her forehead against Sophie's and she ran her fingertips up to cup the brunette's face. She rubbed her thumbs against her cheekbones. "I want you too", and she pressed her lips to Sophie's in a gentle kiss, but she left her lips there as if she wanted to savour the moment and remember it forever.
Sophie held onto Sian's waist and slowly she began to feel her fingers dig into the skin, as if somehow she was penetrating the clothes. Soph let go a bit and clenched the material of Sian's jacket in her fists, and as she felt the blonde's tongue enter her mouth she let out a moan and pulled Sian's body flush against hers.
The kiss quickly became intense as Sian was pulling Sophie towards her as much as she possibly could, digging her fingertips into the side of the brunette's neck and massaging her cheekbones with her thumbs. Sian slid her right hand to the back of Soph's neck and into her hair, gripping at it furiously as Sophie sucked on her tongue and seemed to pull it even further into her mouth.
Sian's head was full of emotion and she was certain if she didn't have her eyes clamped shut there would be tears falling from them, right about now. She had missed this sooo much she couldn't even work it out for herself. All the frustration and heartache and utter, utter pain and misery that she had felt for as long as her heart cared to remember felt like it was pounding underneath her chest, desperate to leave and she wasn't about to stop it. It was a weird feeling and it resounded in her ears, and she couldn't tell it from the sheer desire that was tingling all the way to her fingertips and toes. She felt like she couldn't kiss Sophie quick enough, couldn't pull at her hard enough or push her body into her forcibly enough in order to express what she was feeling. But she was having a good go.
Sian moaned loudly as she grabbed at Soph's shoulders. She pushed her body hard against the brunettes as if she was going to fall into her. Her thigh fell in between Sophie's legs and her tongue penetrated Soph's mouth and the blonde tasted her as much as she could.
Sophie was as turned on as she had ever been in the last four years. No one else had ever made her feel like this; maybe because she never wanted anyone as much as she wanted Sian, no one else ever came close. She never wanted it to end. This bubble of desire they created was like nothing else, and Soph had forgotten what it felt like. It was as if her legs didn't want to stand anymore, her stomach wanted to explode and her chest needed to collapse; as if her breathing was getting so carried away with itself it was threatening to choke her. Her heart felt like it was thundering and every time Sian touched her somewhere different, or took her lip between her own, it would suddenly stop and it would take a second or two to begin its thundering again. Her entire body felt like it was on edge and all her mind could think about was making Sian scream her name, like she used to, all those years ago. Like when they had had sex for the first time on New Year, and she had repaid Sian for that amazing strip tease... Sophie's mind wandered briefly before she opened her eyes and looked at her girlfriend, her eyes laden heavily with desire. Soph pulled back and licked her lips and her heart started pounding again. Her body juddered as Sian returned her gaze; the blonde's lips a little swollen and her cheeks flush. She looked amazing. Sophie swallowed, her eyes dropped to Sian's chest and then after a moment she brought them back up to her eyes. The blonde smirked, her eyes were half open and she knew full well the effect she was having on Sophie, and the brunette mirrored her grin before she spun them on the spot, pushing Sian hard against the wall and captured her lips once more.
Sian brought her legs up and wrapped them around the brunette, burying her hands in her long hair as her tongue battled with Sophie's for dominance in the kiss. Sian's body was on fire, she hadn't felt anything like this in so many years and her body was lapping up the sensations as fast as Sophie was providing her with them. Sian swallowed the air between the heated kisses as fast as she could, not wanting to lose contact with Sophie's lips or the feeling of the brunette's tongue on hers. She felt Sophie's hands grip her ass and she moaned, loudly, as her head was filled with the sound of Sophie panting for air and then she felt her hands, slide up the back of her top and come into contact with the heat of her skin.
Sian felt like she was inching up the wall with the pressure Sophie was pushing her against it with, and she was getting annoyed with the feel of clothes between them. She needed them off, and she needed Soph to touch her, desperately. Every sensation she was experiencing was quickly going south adding to the fire that was already there, and she simply couldn't form any other concrete thought other than Sophie fucking her and doing whatever the hell she wanted to her, over and over again. She felt like her mind would self-destruct with it and she had to have it, right then.
"..Sopphhh", she murmured between fevered kisses. It caused Sophie to pause, a little, and she looked up into sparkling blue eyes. Sian's forehead was creased a little, almost in desperation and she spoke breathlessly, "...pleeaasee..?" The blonde's chest rose and fell heavily and she clawed at Sophie's clothes at her shoulders in a vain attempt at trying to remove them. It wasn't working.
Sophie brought her eyes to her girlfriends for a second and that was all it took. She pulled Sian from the wall and carried her to the bedroom. She dropped her on the bed and her breathing had already increased. She knew her hair was a mess and she hurriedly pushed it behind her ears as her gaze remained firmly on Sian who lay there, slightly propped up on her elbows and her one knee bent.
Sian swallowed a few times and licked her lips, her mouth was bone dry and her heart was just, pounding like mad. She looked at Soph who was standing at the foot of the bed, her shins leaning against the mattress and the side of her leg coming into contact with Sian's foot. The blonde raked her eyes up Soph's body and she flexed her toes to push them into her leg and the brunette started moving again.
Sophie dropped her jacket to the floor and let go of the breath she didn't know she had been holding. There was something about Sian just laying there, her body language all open like that, that Soph couldn't help but stare and lust at. It was so hot- she, was so hot, the brunette was already having palpitations. She knew she could do what she wanted, that Sian would let her...and she wanted her naked and she wanted to taste her. She wanted her tongue all over her and she wanted to touch her until she couldn't take any more. And then she wanted to do it again. Sophie knew Sian could see it in her eyes, you could almost smell the level of desire in the room and so she swallowed again, grabbing the bottom of her shirt and pulling it over her head. It joined her jacket on the floor.
Sian sat up on the bed immediately and started unbuttoning Soph's jeans. The brunette pushed her hair over her head before she briefly lost them in the blonde's hair, reaching down gently and pulling off Sian's top. The blonde looked up at her momentarily, a cheeky smirk on her face before she placed a kiss on Sophie's navel.
Sophie's hands were back in Sian's hair as she closed her eyes at the contact, her stomach muscles clenching at the sensations that were shooting through her. Sian was caressing the brunette's lower body with her hands, letting them roam all over her skin and paying particular attention to her toned abs. Sian had always loved those and they majorly turned her on. She kissed them and let her tongue linger against the skin, feeling the effect of her actions as Sophie's body contracted. She slowly started to drag her tongue up the centre of her girls body as her hands began to pull her jeans and underwear down at the same time. The movement was incredibly slow and it was burning Sophie up.
She wasn't sure when Sian had taken control of what was going on, but Sophie was glued to the spot and every hair on her body was standing on end. Goosebumps had shot along her arms and her eyes were absently glancing around the room, opening and closing every time she felt Sian touch her. She knew Sian knew exactly where all her sensitive spots were, but right then everywhere was a sensitive spot. It was like her body was on overload and it was firing something in her brain so she couldn't concentrate. Sian's lips were teasing her and they were causing her to moan. She felt the cool air of the room wrap itself around her lower half and then she felt Sian's hands reach round to her back and unclasp her bra.
She looked down at the blonde, her blue eyes shining and a sly grin to her lips. The brunette reached down and held onto Sian's cheeks, pulling her up so she was now on her knees on the bed. Soph rubbed her thumbs over her cheekbones and looked at her with such devotion that the blonde almost melted.
"I love you", Sophie breathed, her eyes half closed and her head slightly tilted. Their lips were millimetres apart and her voice had turned into a whisper. "And you're so fucking hot", she began, her forehead creasing as she spoke, "that I'm gunna make you cum 'til you can't take it".
Sian's mouth dropped open and she felt the heat intensify between her legs. She licked her lips and her throat involuntarily swallowed a breath. Sophie brought their lips together and kissed her passionately, immediately deepening the kiss and devouring the blonde's mouth as if she had never been kissed before. Sophie reached round to Sian's back and flicked open the clasp of her bra, quickly pulling it from her shoulders and flinging it across the room. She got on the bed by straddling Sian and slowly moved her backwards so the blonde was back on her elbows and Sophie was on all fours. The brunette didn't break the kiss and Sian had started moaning and panting around the kisses it was so intense. Sophie leaned on her left side and moved her right hand to start massaging Sian's breast and as her fingers made contact the blonde gasped, pulling her head back and resting it on the bed.
Sophie quickly moved her lips to Sian's nipple and started circling it with her tongue, her free hand running down the blonde's side lightly, knowing just how sensitive the skin was over her ribs. She felt Sian move beneath her as a moan escaped her lips. Soph looked up and saw her girlfriends eyes were closed, her arms clumsily thrown across the bed searching the mattress with every light touch Sophie gave her. The brunette trailed her hand lower and inched her index finger over the top of her jeans, getting lower still as the blonde instinctively parted her legs.
Sian released another moan, this one low and husky and filled with anticipation. She knew what Sophie was going to do and she half arched her back off the bed, wanting to push herself into the touch as much as she could. Her hands were in her own hair now and she pulled at it, her pent up feelings making her giddy.
Sophie ran her hand over Sian's crotch and cupped her over her jeans. She buried her lips at the blonde's pulse point at the same time and began to suck on it, using the same rhythm with her hand as she felt the heat almost radiate through the material. She could feel how wet the blonde was and it was driving her crazy.
Sian brought her hand to the back to Soph's head, losing her fingers in her hair and she licked her lips furiously. "Soph.." she moaned, and the brunette ceased her sucking for a moment, "please", she breathed as their eyes made contact, her chest still forcing out the breaths, "touch me".
Sophie's heart stopped pounding for a second before it started again, the desire coming from the blonde simply taking her breath away. She swallowed absently before she shifted her weight, getting up on her knees and she stripped the rest of the blonde's clothes away. She paused for a second as her eyes fell on her girlfriend, her naked girlfriend.. her, totally naked gorgeous girlfriend, laying there, all turned on and panting and desperate for Soph to touch her. She couldn't understand how beautiful she was, how devastatingly beautiful she was and yet she wanted her. She wanted Sophie, and she needed her to touch her. Right then. Sophie ran her tongue over her bottom lip and lightly bit on it.
Her eyes met Sian's again and her expression was of absolute need and frustration. Sophie ran her hands up the blonde's thighs and positioned herself between her legs. Her right hand slid up her inside thigh and she started pressing her lips to her naval. Sophie entered her immediately, her index and forefinger easily gaining entry with how wet she was. Sian moaned in delight and her head thudded back against the bed. Sophie had to stifle a moan herself, the blonde was exceptionally wet and it was turning her on more and more, making her wetter and wetter herself.
Sian's hands were gripping the pillows above her head and she had given up trying to be quiet. As Sophie's rhythm was gaining speed her moans were getting louder. Her back was arched and she heard herself call out Sophie's name. She was in ecstasy. She had imagined this soo many times and the brunette was living up to her dreams.
"Sooooooppppppppphhhh!" she screamed as she felt her girlfriends thumb run over her clit as she pushed into her, over and over. She knew she was close, very close in fact, but she wanted to touch Soph and make her scream too.
Sian lifted her head and reached down with her left hand and gripped the back of the brunette's head. Sophie looked up, her face totally flushed and her eyes laden with such desire they had almost changed colour. "C'mere", Sian breathed, and Sophie moved up her body but kept her hand at what it was doing. They kissed briefly and Sian reached down with her hand and slipped her fingers into Sophie's warmth.
"Mmmnhnhmm", the brunette moaned as several million palpitations shot through her body. She was so amazingly turned on that every inch of her was completely sensitive and her heart leapt into her chest at the touch. She slowed her rhythm a little as she was finding it hard to concentrate and pushed her face into Sian's neck moaning again as she did so.
Feeling how wet Sophie was almost sent Sian over the edge but she wanted to take her girlfriend with her. She applied as much pressure as she could and moved her hand fast and hard against her clit, knowing that Sophie must be close herself. "You're so wet", Sian whispered in her ear between panted breaths. She took the brunette's earlobe in her mouth and sucked on it as she brought her knees up higher, parting her legs wider for her girlfriend.
Sophie was sure her mind was going to implode. As if she wasn't worked up enough and then Sian goes and touches her. The blonde knew exactly how easy Soph was in this sort of situation, and then she talks dirty in her ear.. Soph bit down hard on her lip; she could feel the sensations building up in her stomach and they started to spread to her chest. Her heart beat harder and harder as Sian's fingers worked faster and as Sophie pushed her own fingers further into the blonde, she heard her girlfriend's breathing quicken and the husky moans became more frequent.
Sian's eyes were closed again and her head rested back in the pillows. She was about to come at any second and she held Sophie's head close in at her neck. "Harder", she heard Soph murmur, and so she stepped her pace up, sucking her bottom lip into her mouth and biting hard down on it. The blonde's eyes were clamped shut and she knew she couldn't take anymore.
"Soooppphhhh", she moaned again, and as she clenched around the brunettes fingers and her mind erupted in sheer joy, she gripped at Sophie involuntarily and the added pressure sent her mind reeling too. The brunette's eyes shot open as she felt her body judder, the orgasm rippling through her even better as she knew Sian had climaxed too.
Sophie lifted her head and looked sideways at her girlfriend, who lay spent under her, her eyes closed and her breathing trying to return to normal. The brunette collapsed just to the side of her, leaving her arm resting across the blonde's chest.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Sophie stayed where she was, pushing out breath after breath as she tried to calm herself down. It really wasn't working but she really didn't care. The grin on her face was epic. They were back. To before, just like they were before, and she took in a deep breath before blowing it out, slowly. She heard Sian giggle, a little.
"That was... amazing", Sophie grinned, her chin resting on the top of Sian's shoulder. Her eyes were sparkling, their colour now back to their brilliant blues.
Sian turned her head and opened her eyes, licking her lips as she did so. She met Soph's gaze and she suddenly had to swallow a lump in her throat, the blonde never wanted to forget this moment. Sophie's expression was of complete happiness and Sian wished she could somehow frame it, it made her heart swell in her chest that much. She brought her left hand up and stroked the brunette's cheek with her finger, "you were amazing", she whispered, "you're always amazing".
Sophie giggled and hid her face a little bit, making Sian laugh out loud at the cuteness of it. The blonde's face was beaming and Soph thought her smile could light up the whole street, let alone the room. The brunette brought her hand up to entwine her fingers with the ones at her cheek. "I love you Sian", she began, getting a little serious, "and I'll love you forever". She kissed the blonde's fingers and tasted herself on them a bit. She looked back to her girlfriend and smiled that classic Sophie Webster smile that the blonde loved so much.
Sian was tearing up she was so happy. Her chest felt like it simply couldn't expand anymore and she wasn't sure what would happen if Sophie carried on being so cute and adorable. She decided she loved the brunette more than that, more than she could communicate and didn't know how to begin going about trying to describe it. Instead her eyes glistened and her words simply escaped her. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, so she bit on her bottom lip to try and compose herself. All she could be was honest. "I love you more", she started, in nothing louder than a whisper, "I wanna spend my life with you you know, Webster".
And Sophie felt the world stop, as if it had frozen on its axis, and then it was replaced with the most perfect world ever. One where she got Sian for life, and her face couldn't contain her smile. She blinked to start time moving again and she cuddled closer into her girlfriend, "well good", she said, as the blonde wrapped her arms all snug around her, "because you have me for life". Her face was against Sian's neck again and she hooked a leg over her hip. "You did when I saw you across the street again for the first time.." and she smiled as she felt the blonde gently run her fingertips up and down her spine, "..talking to Rosie, I fell for you again right then. It's always been you, Sian. And it'll only ever be you".
Sian lay there as happy as she had ever been. Her eyes were closed but her smile remained and she felt her heartbeat become steady, happily chugging away underneath where her girlfriends arm lay. She felt Sophie's fingers lazily dance across her chest and she knew that this was it. She had got what she had come for and her life was now complete. "Good", she smiled as she cuddled against the brunette that little bit closer, "because I'll only ever want you, too".
*Part 20.*
Sian strolled down the cobbles, hands in her pockets and filled her lungs with the air that was surrounding her. She looked up and thought about what a beautiful day it was; not cold, but not warm either. She thought about how she had woken up that morning, something that she had become used to doing alone. It had almost caused her to frown, the weight of an arm across her stomach, and it had taken her a few minutes to remember who it belonged to. Her eyes had remained closed as she recollected the previous night's events, from the club to returning home, to their home, and a warm smile gently spread across her face. Sian's feet had come to a stop and she stared into the open space in front of her, and then her eyes fell closed as her hands met across her stomach, remembering how she had ran her fingertips along Sophie's arm that morning, the brunette lying naked beside her, with her face snugly in at the blonde's neck.
A shiver ran throughout Sian's body, she was back in that bed, lying comfortably next to her girlfriend. Sophie had murmured something inaudible at Sian's ear as she gripped the blonde closer and pushed her face into her blonde hair, slipping her leg softly between Sian's thighs. Sian had been smiling, a smile she was certain wouldn't leave her lips for days to come. She had taken in a happy and contented breath as she lay there within the loving embrace, one she had longed to feel again for many years. Sian had opened her eyes and turned her head to look as much as she could at Sophie's slumbering face. Her left hand had reached up and gently pushed the long bangs behind Soph's ear, and as she did the brunette shifted a little and licked her lips.
Sian thought it was incredibly cute. Sophie in a morning was a beautiful sight, she had always thought so. And the feel of her naked body against hers was just, fantastic. Soph was a great cuddler, the blonde would never tire of how she felt when Sophie wrapped herself around her, it was cosy and safe and now that she had those things back she would never let them go again. No matter what. She felt protected by Sophie like this, even though the brunette was a deep sleeper Sian knew that she never had to be afraid...the once, way back when, Sian had been lying awake after they had made love. Sophie usually fell asleep first, but that didn't matter as the blonde loved staring at her, and seeing how her expressions changed as she slept. Sian considered that perhaps it was a little strange and she had never told Sophie this, but anyway one night there was a loud crashing sound that came from outside. It was 3am and Sian had sat bolt upright in bed, it hadn't been long since they'd moved in and in all honesty she was scared. The blonde had bit on her lip and was considering what to do as she looked apprehensively around the darkened room. And as if Sophie had heard her unspoken concerns, the arm that had been laid across Sian's stomach that was now resting in her lap she used to push herself up from the mattress, and half turn in the bed to see what the commotion was.
Sian was very awake and Sophie immediately knew something was wrong. She was half asleep but somehow became totally alert, and in an instant the brunette was off the bed and had got a baseball bat from under the bed that Sian didn't even know was there. She instructed the blonde to stay in bed and not move and she was gone for what Sian felt was an eternity. After ten minutes Sophie was back and she returned the bat and climbed back into bed, pulling the blonde down with her. Sophie held her close and kissed her cheek. "There was a dustbin gone over outside babe, that was all. Go to sleep".
Sian was still worried though, but for other reasons. "What if it had been a burglar or something?" she had whispered.
"But it wasn't", Sophie softly replied.
Sian turned to her and cupped the brunettes face. "You could've been hurt". The concern echoed in her tone.
Sophie grinned a little, her eyes closed. "Nahhh, no one's getting past me with that bat".
Sometimes her humour in serious situations annoyed the blonde, it could've been an intruder, and then what? Sian gripped the side of Soph's face now. "It could've been though babe, and then what?"
Sophie had opened her eyes and saw how upset her girlfriend was. She moved to hover over her, a little, and then she shrugged. "Well, then they're going to have to get past me before they get to you", she shook her head, "and that'll never happen, trust me". It was simple enough to Sophie, she would batter them with that bat, and there would be no other outcome. No stranger would disturb her home environment and get away with it. And that was that.
It lifted Sian a little bit, she liked it when Sophie was all mean and protective. "And what if I don't want them to go through you?"
"Well they don't have a choice", she brought her face closer into Sian's and kissed her nose, her tone becoming softer, "now go to sleep babe". She lay back down in bed and pulled the blonde half on top of her.
Sophie closed her eyes but Sian was still awake. She played with the material of Sophie's tshirt and let herself get carried away by the thoughts in her head. And Sophie knew it. She knew her girlfriend inside out and knew she would be worrying, probably for the rest of the night. The brunette lifted herself up a bit, causing Sian to wonder what she was doing. "Close your eyes", Sophie whispered, "I'll stay awake for you".
Sian looked into her eyes, "No Soph-"
Sophie spoke to silence her, she knew exactly was the blonde was worried about. "If anyone comes in I'll wake you okay?"
Sian got a little embarrassed and looked away, "I'm being stupid-"
"You're never stupid", Sophie replied, kissing her forehead gently, "just a worrier, so I'm going to worry for you. You've got an early start in the morning".
And that made Sian smile. Her heart swelled knowing Soph would do that for her. "I love you", Sian said, as she settled onto her girlfriends chest, her eyes falling closed.
"I love you too".
Sian knew Soph wouldn't stay awake all night, she could pretty much sleep anywhere she was that much of a comfortable sleeper, but she knew the brunette was awake at least until she fell asleep herself, as she would every now and again feel Soph kiss her lovingly on the head.
That was when Sian knew for the first time Sophie would do anything in the world to protect her, and as she lay in bed that morning, after four years of being apart she could feel that Sophie still felt that way. It made her feel even more alone during those four years, even though she had had other lovers and girlfriends, none of them made her feel like this. And she would treasure it forever.
A noise across the street brought her out of her thoughts. Sian had no idea how long she had been standing there, but she looked across to where the clanking noise was coming from and saw that the garage was open. Sian frowned a little, it was a Sunday. Weird.
She walked over and saw Maz's bike, standing upright this time but that was definitely not Kevin working on it. She only saw the figure from the back but thought it looked a little like Maz. Well, she had her hair anyway. Whoever it was was in one of those all in one mechanic overall things and yup, they were Maz's boots. Maybe it was Maz. Sian came to a stop a few feet away and looked at her watch.
"Bit early for it, isn't it?" Sian enquired, "it's 9am".
Maz swung herself around and favoured the blonde with her wide grin. "Ah it's never too early", she answered cheerily before turning back to the bike. She crouched down and tightened something with a spanner. "You never know what you're going to miss", she began, "unless you're out there looking for it".
Sian raised her eyebrows and considered the response. She shrugged, is one way of looking at it, she supposed. Her head was tilted and she found herself regarding the brunette, her eyes roaming from those boots to the dirty red overall, up her legs to the dirty rag hanging out the back pocket, up her back to the way the material seemed to hang from Maz's shoulders. It was slightly too big for her, but in a completely good way. She must be a mechanic. Sian felt herself scoff a little bit, of course she was a mechanic. What else would she be? Bet the ladies just luuuurrrve that.. The blonde's eyes had gone back to the rag and the back pocket, and the way the overall fit snugly at the waist and highlighted the shape of her ass.. suddenly Sian was biting on her bottom lip, her head tilting just a teeeeeny bit...
Maz was up and spun around so quickly that Sian's eyes were slightly behind. They moved from the brunette's waist and met her eyes that little bit too slowly, and Sian felt herself go red. Maz's grin got wider and she let out a laugh. She went and returned the spanner to the rest of the tools. She grabbed the rag from her pocket and began wiping her hands on it. She looked at her visitor. "So, why are you up?" her eyebrows were raised, "thought you'd be having a lazy day with a certain Webster..." and then her grin suddenly flopped, "unless you didn't go home together?" her movements had ceased as well.
"No we did", Sian beamed, looking anywhere but at Maz, her thumbs linked in her back pockets. "We uhmm, had a great night". And she stuck her tongue out, a bit, as she remembered...
Maz smiled again, "thank God for that", and she continued rubbing her hands with the cloth.
"Myeaahh", Sian sighed, her eyes eventually reaching the brunettes again.
"Well that grin sure says it all", Maz smiled. "I'm really happy for you, and Soph. You guys deserve to be happy".
Sian thought about that. She understood why Maz wanted Sophie to happy, but why her? She hardly knew her. Maz had turned around and so once again Sian was looking at her back. "Uhmm, I'm sorry for how I've treated you-"
Maz snapped back around, now with her overalls pushed down to her waist exposing her figure hugging wife-beater. "-really don't worry about it. I'm don't". She was still grinning as she pushed her thumbs into her overalls and then pushed them over her hips and down her legs.
The fact that Maz was practically stripping in front of her wasn't lost on Sian, and she almost lost her train of thought. She briefly cast her eyes down the street to make sure no one was watching. She wasn't sure what it was, but it felt like she shouldn't be there, looking at Maz as she just couldn't help but stare at things she shouldn't be staring at. The brunette was simply magnetic, and that was all there was too it. And so she went back to staring.
"I know, but I want to apologise anyway".
Maz straightened herself back up and stepped out of her overalls. She simply smiled as her answer before picking them up and throwing them into a corner.
Sian stifled a giggle. She rubbed at her nose. "So ermm, does Kevin know you're in his garage, and in his overalls?"
The brunette ruffled her hair and flicked it over her shoulders. "He knows, and they're my overalls. Left them here when I left".
Sian furrowed her brow. "Left them here?"
Maz was back over to her bike and was running her hands over it affectionately. "Yeah I worked here. Is how I met Soph".
Sian raised her eyebrows. Knew it! "Ahhhh", was all she could say. She wondered how long ago that was, and how many girlfriends after her Maz was... but she didn't know how to ask. Or even if she should.
Maz could sense it but she didn't want to give anything away. Maz wasn't one to discuss her history, even if they did have a common denominator. The brunette smirked, and thought she'd deflect. "Yeah I was just passing through and got talking in the pub. I wasn't intending on staying, but then I met Soph and, well, needed a job so. Was the easy option".
They weren't looking at each other and Sian simply nodded. She wondered above all, considering how much of a player Maz seemed to come across as, how she managed a relationship with Sophie at all. It must have been a strong relationship for Maz to turn into the dedicated type. The blonde shook the thought out of her head, she didn't really want to be thinking about that.
Just then Kevin came over with two mugs off steaming coffee, interrupting any impending conversation they might've had. "Here you go", he said as he handed Maz one. "Hi Sian, you're up early". He took a sip of his coffee.
"Yeah I'm getting breakfast for me and Soph.." she smiled, remembering Sophie still lying in her bed...their bed. It made her smile all the more.
Maz smiled at Kev and blew on her drink.
Kevin laughed a bit, "don't let her get used to that, she'll expect it every day".
Sian giggled, "wouldn't be Sophie if she didn't-"
"Got that right", Maz cut in, and all three of them shared a moment in knowing how much Soph loved her luxuries.
"Anyway", Kev started, "I'm glad it's all sorted out. Both my girls happy again, it's all a father can ask for". He put his mug down on the side and turned his attention to Maz, "so how did you find sleeping in Sophie's bed? Not too strange I hope".
Sian moved her gaze to the brunette and figured that was where she had stayed. If she hadn't pulled anyone from Shakers' of course, and then she scrunched up her forehead a little bit. Maz seemed to be a good time girl, it was a bit strange that she hadn't pulled someone.
A sneaky grin graced the brunette's features and she scratched at the back of her neck. "No, no, wasn't too strange at all. Slept pretty well, actually".
"Glad you did", Kevin carried on, "the noise coming from Rosie's room was enough to keep the whole street awake-"
Sian's eyes widened and Maz stifled a cough, rather animatedly. "Yeh, yeh", Maz agreed, "suppose it was a bit loud".
Kev shot her a look. "A bit? If Sal would've been in she'd of hit the roof!"
Maz started smirking and was looking around the floor. Sian shot her a curious glance and then looked back to Kevin. She wasn't aware that Rosie and Jason had made up. Or were even on speaking terms, for that matter.
Kevin started rubbing his neck, "hardly got any sleep. I'll kill that lad when I see him, hours they were at it.." he started shaking his head, "don't see how anyone can keep it up that long".
Sian was smirking too, "must've been good for Rosie.." her eyes wandered over again to Maz who looked up at her beneath her ducked head. She was still grinning but this time she looked smug.
Kevin was clearly uncomfortable at the entire situation but needed to vent at someone, and he certainly couldn't tell his wife. "I'm surprised you didn't hear how happy she was across the street", he looked away and shook his head, again. "I'll have to speak to her. A word of warning to you both, if ever you have daughters and as much as you love them no matter what, nothing will ever prepare you to hear them having sex through the wall".
"Especially how loud Rosie was last night", Maz replied. She was still smiling and met Kevin's eyes as he looked at her.
He looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there, having that conversation. He wished he hadn't brought it up. "Yeah", he almost whispered. "...especially". And then he walked off, "I'll be across the road".
Both girls watched as he went, both with grins to their lips. Maz licked hers lightly before setting her mug down. She sighed and then got on her bike, starting it as she got comfy and settled into the seat.
Sian approached the bike and made sure she spoke up to be heard above the engine. "I'm surprised you stayed in Sophie's room last night", she began as Maz looked at her. "I mean, there were quite a few single women in the club last night, no one catch your eye?" She had a suspicion and had to get to the bottom of it.
"Yeah there were some", Maz grinned, toning down the engine some, "but I like a challenge. Single gay girls don't do it for me". She gave Sian a wink.
"Oh right", Sian smiled, "so it was a boring night for you?"
Maz held onto the handle bars and looked straight ahead. "I wouldn't say that".
Sian giggled to herself and wasn't sure she wanted to know the real truth, so she left it there. "Hey, why don't you come and stay with us, there's a spare-"
"No, Sian... thanks", Maz cut in, "but I think I'm going to be getting off".
"What, now?"
The brunette sat up straight on the bike. "No time like the present".
Sian was a little taken aback. "But what about Soph? Aren't you gonna say goodbye?"
"Don't do goodbye's babe, never have".
"But-"
Maz looked into blue eyes. "You can say it for me. And look after her yeah? Underneath it all, she's still just a vulnerable girl".
"Yeah I know", Sian whispered. There was still something she needed to know, and she was just going to have to come out with it. Maz clearly still cared deeply for Sophie, and it troubled her a little. Sian spoke up as Maz reached for her helmet that was hanging on her handlebars. "Maz, can I ask you something, before you go?"
The brunette paused with what she was doing and looked sideways at the blonde. "Well, I guess that depends", she smiled.
"You and Sophie, why did you break up?" She was a little scared of the answer and she kind of built up a bit of a wall in case she didn't like the answer.
Maz grinned and swallowed a breath. "Oh that's easy", she said, remembering back three years and then putting the memories away again. "I wasn't you". And she put her helmet on and pushed down the visor. "Look after yourself ay kid", and then she sped off.
Sian followed her with her eyes but in a matter of seconds she had rounded the corner and had gone. The blonde wasn't really sure how she felt about the answer. They broke up because of her? She had so many questions, but didn't think it right to ask Sophie. Certainly at the moment. And what did it matter, really? She took in a deep breath and then heard some heels coming towards her across the cobbles, but she didn't turn to look. She felt the older Webster come to a stop beside her.
"Has Maz gone?" she asked breathlessly.
"Yeah", Sian answered, "just now".
Rosie furrowed her brow, "well, did she say anything?"
Sian shrugged, "not really" she replied as she turned to face the other brunette. The jacket she was wearing caught her eye, it looked like Maz's from the day before. "New jacket?" she enquired.
Rosie snapped herself from her thoughts. "What? Oh, no. Maz left it at mine last night".
"Oh", and then she began to smile. Things were falling into place, especially since Rosie's eyes hadn't left the end of the street until she asked about the jacket, which she was now snuggling into, a huge grin on her lips. The blonde just couldn't help herself, "so uhhmm, how's Jason?"
And that changed her expression. It dropped as if he was an unwelcome thought, "how should I know?" she almost spat. "Haven't heard from him since last night in the club".
"Right".
"He's got a lot to make up for".
"I'm sure he has".
There was a distinct pause as Sian slightly started shaking her head, she wondered just how much of a challenge Maz really had last night, and she couldn't quite believe that Rosie was even remotely gay. The blonde stated to chuckle.
Rosie eyed her, "what's the matter with you?"
Her smile was huge and she had absolutely no idea what to do with this new information. "Nothing", she replied. "Absolutely nothing".
"Right, well, I suppose you've got a lot to be happy about", she looked about momentarily, "and where is my baby sister this morning? Worn her out?" Even though it was half nine on a Sunday morning Rosie was still done up to the nines, her makeup done as if she was on a night out. Her red lipstick blinding as usual.
"She's in bed, I'm just going to the shop so I can make her breakfast".
"Awwwh, you two are soooo cute", Rosie pouted her lips, loving the fact that they were now back together. "I hope I can find that one day".
Sian smiled, "well, that might be easier since you've opened up your options.." she stifled a chuckle.
"What?" Rosie's expression was confused as she had no idea what that meant, but Sian simply shrugged and shook her head, suddenly finding interest in the pavement. The brunette was intrigued for a few minutes but that was about as much attention as she could give it. She eyed Sian a little suspiciously, "anyway", she said, "things to do!" She kissed her fingers twice and then pushed them towards Sian as a goodbye and then crossed the street, trotting as fast as she could in her 6 inch heels.
Sian laughed to herself and was still shaking her head. Really, she couldn't believe it, should she tell Soph?...and then a dreamy grin touched her lips as she remembered where she had left her gorgeous girlfriend.. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and took it out to look at the screen. Speak of the devil..
'Miss you xxxxxxx' was all it read.
Sian smiled and ran her thumb over the display thinking how she wanted nothing more than to spend the entire day in bed with her brunette. She sighed contented; she had everything she wanted, all wrapped up in that thin bed sheet, her hair all messy, her eyes all glossy with sleep.. her lips.. her fingers.. all just, waiting for her to get back...Sian cleared her throat and her eyes darted to the side, remembering that she was still stood in the street. She thought she best hurry up getting breakfast if she wanted Soph still in bed when she returned. She pocketed her phone and headed towards the shop across the street.
