Hi, beautiful people :) I think some of you thought that last chapter was the last one... but trust me, this is just the beginning. You guys should read the author's notes before starting ;)
Anyway... Reviews are always important so let me know what you think of this one...
For two days, the girls had spent their time going to the spa and visiting the museums that Dianna had found interesting enough.
It was Wednesday now and they only had 4 full days before flying to their second destination: Paris.
Lea had woken up almost an hour ago. When she came out of the shower already dressed she found a still sleeping head with blonde hair sticking out everywhere. She grinned and for a moment her mind went back to the last couple of days. Kissing Dianna had soon become her new favorite activity, even if it was just a peck or a full make out session, the blonde's lips were addictive.
They had been to the hotel's spa and relaxed magnificently for a couple of hours. Lea then smiled at the memory of being engrossed in the way Dianna had explained and described the art they had seen at the museums; both ancient and modern. The blonde's head was full of knowledge.
And Lea loved that.
Because she wasn't in love with the kind of actress whose mind wandered around fashion and fame. She was in love with an actress whose intelligence and imagination was as big as her heart. A girl who loved to read more than shopping, and preferred to go to museums and galleries instead of night clubs. A kind of girl who enjoyed finding new music in random places rather than turning on the radio to the biggest hits. And certainly, a girl who would always stop in her tracks so she can help you, even if she's in a hurry.
So she grinned once again at her luck and crawled into the bed until she was straddling the blonde's lower back and her hands were placed on her shoulder blades. At that, Dianna stirred but didn't wake up, so Lea put a little pressure on her hands as she leaned down and kissed the spot behind the blonde's ear.
"Wake up, Lady Di." She whispered as she peppered every spot of skin she could see; her left cheek, the side of her neck, and the top of her back.
Dianna started to twirl as much as she could with the weight of the brunette still sitting on her back. "M'sleeping." She muttered. She felt Lea start to move and for a second she thought she had won; that is, until a whole body covered her own. She huffed at the action. There was no way she would be going back to sleep after this.
"We're going to an aquarium today, Dianna!" She yelled excitedly.
The blonde cringed at the sound. "You just got me deaf… and I think you broke my back." She grumbled as she tried to hide her face under a pillow. Five more minutes could do. Even though, going to an aquarium did sound promising to her.
"Then you'll have to get up so we can take you to the hospital." She joked. Her left arm had started stroking the length of Dianna's before she felt herself being slightly shaken by the blonde's laugh. She then reached her hand and let their fingers intertwined. "Did you know you look like an angel in the morning?"
"Hmm…" She couldn't help the blush in her face, but she could do something about her position. So she turned around, making sure that Lea was still on top of her and instantly wrapped her arms around her back. "If I'm an angel, then what would that make you?"
The brunette propped herself on her elbows and smiled down. She kissed her once before saying, "I don't know. That's a question you should answer." Her dark hair was falling over her shoulders and she giggled at the sight of the blonde trying to remove some of it off her cheeks without using the hands that were now slipping under her shirt and stroking her bare back.
Dianna lay silent for a moment, feeling soft skin under her fingertips and watching the way brown orbs danced around her face. She smiled. "You're a goddess." She kissed her nose. "More beautiful than Aphrodite." Then her cheeks. "And certainly more beautiful than any other." She finished as she kissed Lea fully on her lips.
The brunette kissed her back with the same force. Their lips melded perfectly together and soon Dianna's tongue was being granted entrance to Lea's mouth. The blonde's hands ran through her back as her own tangled in the sheets below them. When oxygen was finally needed she pulled back. She gathered enough air and said, "As much as I would like to continue, we do need to get going."
The blonde pecked her. "I know." She hugged the tiny girl and breathed in the fresh scent of her hair. The sheets between them were starting to bother her, but to remove them she would need to remove Lea first.
And that was not an option.
After a few minutes in silence the brunette started to pull out. She gave her a small peck. "I love you. Go shower and I'll go get some coffee."
She didn't wait for a response, and soon enough she was standing in front of the bed and pulling at the sheets covering the blonde.
Dianna was startled the moment her favorite warm body got off her. Chills followed once Lea removed the blankets and left her there, laying in nothing but shorts and a tank top. "I don't like you." She groaned.
"No, you love me. Now get up, sleepy head! If you're not in the shower when I get back, you won't get to touch me at all."
That worked.
Soon enough, Dianna was getting clothes out of her suitcase and running to the bathroom.
Lea's laugh boomed through the room.
The damn aquarium was bigger than it appeared to be from outside.
They had been inside for two hours and Lea's feet were killing her. It wasn't until Dianna offered a piggyback for the fifth time that she finally relented.
So here she was; being carried by her girlfriend while they walked through a dark hall with nothing but the sunlight reflecting through the glass of those huge fish tanks. She had stopped paying attention once she found a way to make small braids in the blonde's hair without falling on her ass.
"You know what I've been thinking?" Lea asked as she pointed at one of the benches in the middle of the hall. They were practically alone in this side of the aquarium, but she still felt the need to keep her voice down.
"What?" Dianna asked back. She carefully placed the brunette back down to the floor before she dropped herself to the bench.
"Sorry." She muttered, trying to keep her laugh inside.
The blonde looked at her with a reassuring smile. "I've carried you before. You're a light weight, don't worry."
She bit her lip. "No. Well, sorry about that, too. But I was talking about how you look."
Dianna looked at her confused before placing her hands on her hair. She felt messy braids all over her head and narrowed her eyes at the brunette. Lea couldn't hold her amusement any longer and broke into a fit of giggles.
She sat in front of her and started to undo them. Once she finished she cupped the blonde's face and planted her lips on her girlfriend's. She pulled back, but not enough before Dianna followed her and kissed her again.
When the blonde opened her eyes she smiled at the dreamy expression on Lea's face. "What were you thinking about?"
Lea opened her eyes, "Right." She said as she sat and lifted her legs to bend them next to her body. A strong arm wrapped her shoulders and she sighed contently. "I've been thinking about telling my parents about us. I mean, they knew I had feelings for you, but I haven't told them that we're together."
Dianna wiggled in her seat until she was comfortable. "I've thought the same, actually… I dowant to tell them. At least our families and closest friends have the right to know, don't you think?"
"Absolutely," She nuzzled the blonde's neck and sat impossibly closer. "When do you want to tell them?"
"My mom isn't in San Francisco right now, so maybe I can try in a couple of days. As to your parents, it's your choice, baby."
Lea looked up and smirked, "You called me baby."
The blonde grinned before kissing her. "I did, you sweet honey bunch." She said as Lea laughed. "When will you tell them?"
She sighed. "I'll tell them tomorrow."
"Good." She said as she kissed her head. "Can we go find the sea turtles now?"
"Only if you carry me there." She joked. Her feet had rested enough for her to walk on her own.
"I'd carry you to the moon and back." Dianna replied as she rapidly stood up and hooked one arm under her legs and the other supported her back. She lifted the brunette easily, giggling even if she was suffering once again the consequences of Lea's voice squealing right next to her ear.
It had taken the brunette by surprise, and even if Dianna's strength actually amazed her, she couldn't help but squeal at being lifted so quickly. Still, her arms hugged the blonde's neck and refused to let go.
They stifled their giggles when a guard they hadn't noticed before tried to shut them up. Dianna never let go, but held her firmer, and started to walk towards the exit on the other side of the hall.
10 minutes later and they were walking side by side with their hands intertwined. They found a small pond where the aquarium had the sea turtles. It was outside and the girls were allowed to touch them and carry the smaller ones. The blonde took her time taking pictures of Lea and let the brunette use her camera to do the same with her.
"I'm a genius behind a camera, Dianna. You should let me use it more often." As if. She snorted internally. Dianna was a genius. She was just an average person taking pictures with a professional camera.
"You know you can use it whenever you want. I'll show you a few things." Dianna said without looking up from the turtle in her hands.
The brunette smiled and kissed her cheek before going back to taking pictures. Every once in a while she would look up and compare the photo with the girl in front of her, and every single time she smiled at the beauty she saw.
"Did you enjoy it?" Lea asked as they got to the main exit. They were walking hand in hand and the brunette had the camera hanging from her neck.
"I did… was it a date?" She bit her lip.
The brunette shrugged, "I just wanted to take you out somewhere, but I guess it does count as one."
"Alright," She replied, placing her arm around Lea's shoulders. "I'll take you to lunch then."
"Thank God, I'm starving." She groaned as Dianna laughed.
They sun bathed for the rest of the afternoon and by 8 pm they found themselves walking around the downtown of Cancun.
Lea spotted a karaoke bar and her eyes lit up as she looked at the blonde with pleading eyes. Obviously, Dianna couldn't and wouldn't say no to that.
The place was a bit crowded but not enough for both girls to not find a table near the small stage at the end of the bar. Dianna went to get their drinks and by the time she turned around Lea was already up searching for songs to sing.
An hour later, a version of 'I say a little prayer' by Lea and 'Satisfaction' by Dianna; an attempt of a song in Spanish and a few shots of tequila combined with Margaritas; the brunette was completely drunk.
"I wanna sing." She stated, trying to stand up from her seat.
Dianna eyed her suspiciously and replied. "You're really drunk."
"And you really tall." Lea mumbled as she tried to poke the blonde's nose. It ended poking the side of it.
The blonde cross-eyed for a moment before grabbing Lea's hand. She thought about the consequences of having her girlfriend perform a song while being drunk. She smiled evilly; it'd be fun. "Alright, fine. But if you fall I won't catch you."
Of course she would be front and center just in case.
"Oh, I already fell, baby." She tried to wink but it must have looked like a grimace. She skipped towards the song book; lost her balance once; and arrived in one piece seconds later.
Dianna saw as the brunette flipped the pages a few times and couldn't help but find her adorable. The girl had a small frown and the tip of her tongue stuck out because apparently she needed more concentration than usual to find a simple song. After a few minutes a bright smile broke into the girl's face before she showed the DJ the song she wanted to sing. A quick nod and she was already standing in the center of the stage trying to fix the damn stand microphone because the guy that had just sang apparently was as tall as Cory.
A motherfucking tree, she thought.
She looked down at the audience and immediately found hazel glowing eyes staring back at her. The blonde was standing in front of the stage with her arms crossed and a smile on her lips. Her eyes reflected the lights from the stage and Lea forgot for a moment what she was doing there.
"Sooo… Right! A song! I'm here to sing… to my girlfriend. Ey! I love her. And she's like, the most gorgeous woman in the history of history. And if you get near her, you'll regret it. Unless you want an autograph." She swore she whispered the last part; but who knows anything anymore.
She snorted. Not her.
"Anyways. This for you, baby." Ha. She managed to avoid using Dianna's name. A pat on the back for you, she thought.
Although, maybe people had already recognized her.
Whatever.
By the time the brunette finished her speech Dianna was grinning and blushing profusely, trying to hide her face from many amused looks. When the music started the blonde instantly recognized the song. She face-palmed and laughed at the choice her girlfriend had made.
Lea was slowly swaying and as soon the first lyrics of the song came out of her mouth everyone around went quiet. Dianna stopped laughing and simply looked at her with a smile. Listening to the brunette's voice has always made her feel in heaven, and being her she was serenading to was more than anything she could've asked for.
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off of you,
You'd be like heaven to touch,
I wanna hold you so much.
Lea's smile brightened the whole place and Dianna let herself get lost in her eyes. They were staring at each other and the world outside simply vanished.
At long last love has arrived,
And I thank god I'm alive,
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off of you.
Pardon the way that I stare,
There's nothing else to compare,
The sight of you leaves me weak,
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real,
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off of you.
Even drunk, the brunette's voice was still perfect. It soothed Dianna in every single way and she could see pure love pouring out of those expressive eyes as she tried to convey her admiration through hers.
When the chorus started the blonde was almost certain that the crazy-turned brunette was about to fall off that stage so she stepped a little closer to the stage. Lea was jumping and shaking her head, making her brown locks fall everywhere.
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm a lonely night
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby, let me love you...
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off of you,
You'd be like heaven to touch,
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived,
And I thank god I'm alive,
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off of you...
Everyone cheered and clapped, with Dianna being the loudest, as soon Lea finished the song. When the brunette made sure the applause was dying down she made her way to the stairs on the side of the stage and stumbled until she missed the last step. She fell into the blonde's arms and once she could stand on her own she looked up at her. "You're like Flash."
"I was already waiting for you." She grinned. She was still on cloud nine.
"You're still my hero." With that, Lea hooked the blonde's arm with her hand and brought her down enough to kiss her. She didn't wait for an invitation as she shoved her way inside Dianna's mouth and both moaned at the sensation of their tongues brushing together.
The blonde was still aware that they were in public, and even if she wanted to continue doing this, there was no way she would make out with Lea in here. So she pulled back and kissed her cheek. "Do you want to go?"
"Yes."
It took them 20 minutes to drive back to the hotel. Enough to make Dianna realize that the brunette was still drunk enough to make things without thinking.
Of course, they hadn't had sex, and although she had to admit that watching Lea sing to her kind of turned her on, she didn't want to go further than what they had already been doing. She took her time guiding, (or following), the brunette as she danced and sang in front of her on their way back to the room. It did nothing to help and she thanked God that at least they had opted for walking outside, through the pool area instead of the halls full of rooms.
"Di, look! I could be like Moses. Did you watch the Disney movie?" Her words stopped making sense at all ever since they got to the hotel. Right now, she was trying to walk straight through the edge of the pool without falling and it took Dianna less than two seconds to get to her. Unfortunately, all she could do was grab Lea's hand and squeal as they both fell into the water.
The blonde emerged and the first thing she heard was Lea's bubbly laugh. The water wasn't as cold as she thought it would be but still, falling that way was never nice. So she splashed the laughing brunette. "You are so not drinking for the rest of this trip."
The smile was gone. "No! Dianna, I didn't do anything embarrassing!" She whined. A pout formed in her face as she swam closer to the blonde.
"No, but you made my heart stop by milliseconds when you made me fall with you." She teased. She didn't get mad at all, but maybe it could make the brunette drink less the next time they went to a bar.
The pout started to become irresistible to her and she decided to meet the brunette halfway.
"Did you forgive me already?" Lea asked as she wrapped her legs around the blonde's waist and hooked her hands on her neck as she played with the small hair on the girl's nape.
"Hmm, it depends." She replied, hugging her back.
Their foreheads and noses were touching and their lips were mere inches apart, sharing the same breath. "On what?"
Dianna thought for a moment. No excuses came up her mind so she simply let it go. "Just kiss me." She whispered.
And Lea did.
I have a question! Not really story related but still, what do you guys really think about Achele?
In my opinion, I think they were together at some point and right now, well, I have no idea... I just know that I really miss seeing them together :(
Let me know! :) By the way, this was the second to last chapter in Cancun.
