*HEY GUYS! IT'S THE MUCH AWAITED UPDATE! YAY! You can all thank user Aj for this because I was totally locked in on everything I have coming up. I'm actually touched you think my story is one of the best out there and I'm sorry if this chapter doesn't live up to your expectations but I wanted to get something out sooner rather than later as Aj put it. I think I know where I wanna take the story from here so look forward to another update later this week! Thank you and welcome to all the new followers! Enjoy :)*
Karma POV:
This is my new favorite place. I didn't even know you could miss a place you have never been before but being wrapped in Amy's arms feels like a weight has been lifted from my heavy heart. I feel like I am home. I know I'm safe here and, now that I have this, I will never know comfort like this ever again. There is nothing more for me to want out of life because in this moment I have it all. I have Amy. This alone is enough to send a shiver up my spine. Amy notices and to my dismay, moves a fraction of an inch away.
"Are you cold?" She asks with a nurturing tone. I smile and pull her back to me before placing a gentle kiss on her oh so soft lips. Amy's lips are like pillowy clouds and every time our lips touch it feels like I'm being shot into those clouds and I can't get enough.
"Not if you stay this close to me." I smile a little more flirtatious now and I can see a slight tint of red on Amy's cheeks. I swell with pride knowing I put it there. Before anything else can happen I feel her pull away and stand up this time.
"I'm assuming you're staying over tonight so I'm gonna hop in the shower first so we can get our cuddle on and watch some Netflix." She grins down at me and shakes her head as if she can't quite believe I'm here and we've been kissing for the past half an hour. I decidedly love that look as well as the one she gets when she sees I'm about to kiss her. I watch her grab her pajamas and, much to my amusement, quickly snatch a pair of underwear from her dresser before darting to the bathroom. I sigh a content sigh and fall back into her bed. It smells of vanilla and Amy. I don't waste a single second and instead gorge my sense of smell with her amazing scent. My eyes are closed and a small smile rests on my face for I don't even know how long when I hear an unfamiliar ring tone. Must be Amy's phone I think to myself as I roll over and dig around in her comforter until I find it. Even though she was the one who gave me this opportunity to be with Amy, seeing Lily's name light up the screen sends a wave of protectiveness crashing through me. I unlock Amy's phone (we know all of each other's passwords to everything because we're just that close) and read the message. It says
Hey Amy. Just letting you know I made it home safe and I don't think I'll be able to come back over tonight. It's getting late and you need your rest. I'm really sorry, but we're still on for our lunch date tomorrow. I have something I need to talk to you about. Sweet dreams Ams.
After I read through it I notice my fist is clenched tight. I quickly tap edit and delete the message with only a few seconds to spare because in walks Amy. She's oblivious to what I've just done and I want to keep it that way so I casually slip the hand that holds her phone under the covers and release it so she'll never notice I had it. I can't help but let my gaze travel up her perfect body. Her legs look a mile long because her idea of pajamas is an extra large T-shirt and no shorts. I want to touch all of the exposed skin but I know she's hurting and if I touch her like this I'll want more. So much more. Waiting for her to heal is going to be pure torture but knowing she is all mine makes it easier. I reach out and grab the hem of her extra long T-shirt and pull her to me. The gasp that escapes her lips is so cute I can't resist pulling her down to my lips but not close enough to kiss her.
"Karma..." She whispers my name as though I put the stars in the sky and I love it.
"Yes?" I grin because I know what I'm doing to her and I can't resist. She groans and leans forward trying to capture my lips with hers but no matter how much I want to let her I can't let her have it so easily. I lean back and she does too looking at me like I'm breakable glass.
"I'm sorry I though-" I cut her off with a small laugh.
"Raudenfeld, you are too adorable." And I'm pulling her back to me, unable to resist her innocence. When her lips touch mine I swear I can feel an explosion of passion. I'll never get tired of it for as long as I live, I'm sure of it.
Amy POV:
Falling asleep to Karma and waking up to Karma is something I never thought I needed, until now. And now that I have it, I can't seem to get enough. Sure it's only been a night but I'm positive that this is all I'll ever want forever and a day. I allow myself this private moment to admire her long lashes that occasionally flicker as though she was dreaming. I smile when her brow creases then deflates. She's so cute when she's sleeping I can't help but want to kiss her, then I remember that I can. I'm almost bursting with pride as I lean forward and press my lips to her softly. Even though she's sleeping I can feel the connection between us become stronger. She stirs in my arms and groans softly. She reaches up slowly and touches her lips where mine had just been and gives me an earth shattering smile that almost sends me to the pearly white gates of heaven. I realize I'm not breathing so I let out a soft, content sigh. Yes, this was where I want to be. Right? Lily and her note crash into this perfect moment with Karma and all I see is caution tape and tears. I need to right my wrongs. I know this whole ordeal has been nothing but heartache on all those involved and I can't help the guilt that's bubbling inside me. I feel like there is something else important I'm forgetting but it hurts my head too much to think about it. When I look back at Karma, she's looking at me. I smile and kiss her nose playfully before standing up and stretching. Her face colors briefly and she looks anywhere but at my face and I remember my choice of pajamas has never really involved much clothing. I blush and return my arms to my sides.
"Sorry." I mumble as I turn and dig through my drawers for some shorts. I feel her hands before I hear her voice. Her hands are gently wrapped around my waist. I almost melt right there in her arms.
"Don't be sorry, it's just a little hard seeing you like this but not being able to pounce on you whenever I want because you're still hurt." The seductive tone of her voice sends a delicious shiver down my spine and I close my eyes. The things this girl does to me should be illegal. She moves even closer, if that's possible, and I gasp when I feel her lift the hem of my shirt and run her hands softly up my waist to right underneath my breast. I can feel heat building in my core and I make sure to mentally stash this moment into the space I reserve solely for all things Karma. Before things can get any more heated a demon in human form bursts into my room.
"Ew. Take your lesbian love somewhere else. This is a pure, Christian home." Lauren states in her obnoxious voice. Usually I would already have a witty rebuttal but seeing her reminds me of Lily and I remember what she told me Lauren tried to do for her. I can't help but think maybe she doesn't hate me as much as she pretends she does. I smile and, with a heavy heart, step out of Karma's grasp.
"Good morning to you too Lauren." I smile kindly at her and she looks at me like I'm from another planet.
"Morning? You do know it's like 6 o'clock right? I don't even wanna know what you guys have been doing this whole time. That's truly disturbing." She turns to go but stops in my doorway with clenched fist. She whips back around and looks me square in the eye as she says,
"Before I forget, Lily says hey." I stare at her confused. Oh no. I must have forgotten something. I scramble to find my phone and see three missed calls and five missed texts from Lily. I frown down at my phone and look up to ask Lauren how upset Lily is but she's already gone. I scratch my head and read through the texts one is asking if I'm okay, another is asking if I'm running late due to pain or another injury, two are just my name with a question mark, and the last one is this:
Okay, I'm sorry if I'm being too clingy or something but you could have at least texted or called to let me down easy instead of leaving me sitting here for two hours waiting on you. I thought you were different and that we could be something but I was wrong. You're not who I thought you were. Thank you for showing me your true colors. Please stay away from me at all cost. I don't need your presence in my life. I'm barley getting by as it is. Have a nice, fictitious life with Karma.
I can't even form coherent thoughts my mind is running at such a fast pace. I don't know what caused all this. I want to cry but instead I sit glumly on my bed.
"Amy," I hear Karma whisper. I forgotten she was here. That's strange. I look up at her and there's something in her eyes I just don't understand.
"Are you alright?" She asks slowly while coming to sit by me. She grabs my hand and interlocks our fingers but it doesn't feel like a gesture of love. It feels like she's hiding something with her touch. I know Karma and I know when she's hiding something.
"Karma, do you need to tell me something?" I ask bluntly. The look in her eye is enough to tell me I hit the nail on the head. She looks down at our hands and lets out a long sigh.
"Amy I-" she looks back up and there are tears forming in her eyes. Whatever she's about to say must be terrible. I'm not sure I want to hear what it is anymore. The look she's wearing says what she is about to tell me could further make us or break us.
"Last night, while you were in the shower... Lily texted you. She wanted you to know she made it home safe and-and..."
"And what Karma?" I'm sitting up straighter and I'm slowly pulling my hand from hers before she even replies.
"And she said y'all were still on for your lunch date and she had something to talk to you about but I deleted the message. I didn't think it was that big a deal. I was just a little jealous and I didn't think before I did it. I should have told you right af-"
"Get out." I'm not looking at her. My hand has long been withdrawn from hers.
"Ams, I'm sorry I didn't-"
I don't let her finish, I'm standing up now and pointing angrily at my door,
"FOR FUCKS SAKE KARMA. I SAID TO FUCKING LEAVE." The tears that were threatening to fall from her her eyes earlier are now in motion. I can't look at her anymore or I'll start crying too. She stands and takes a step towards me but I step sideways, away from her. I don't want her to touch me right now. She sniffles and walks past me briskly but not before turning around and in the shakiest voice I've ever heard she says,
"I love you." Then she leaves and I hear the slam of my front door and quick feet on the pavement leading away from my house. I burst into tears and throw myself on my bed. How could she do this to me? I understand jealousy but deleting a person from my life? That was unacceptable, no matter how much I love her, it was not okay. Nothing was okay.
