{Chapter 5 - Whipped}
—
When Faye and Diana got to Cassie's car, both girls couldn't hold back their huge smiles, Diana's face already blushing at the questions she knew were about to be asked, especially by Melissa.
"Look at the two lovebirds" Melissa teased as the girls got to the backseat, their hands still joined.
"Good morning, guys" Diana softly said, a huge smile still on her lips and a thankful stare towards Cassie.
This was kind of how their relationship worked: in pairs. Melissa and Faye would be the loud ones, while Cassie and Diana could communicate just by looks. Cassie blinked slower towards Diana and smiled, as a way of saying 'you're welcome. You deserved it'.
"Breakfast anyone?" Cassie started driving before Melissa would start asking embarrassing questions, already making her way back to Chance Harbor.
"Yes, please, I'm starving!" Faye jumped on her seat, placing a hand on her stomach.
"You shouldn't be…" Diana softly said, remembering they had a nice dinner before… Engaging in other activities. "I mean, after that magical banquet we had…" she decided to add to better explain her point.
"Yeah, I bet you had a lot to eat last night" Melissa gave a naughty look to Faye and raised an eyebrow, earning herself a light punch in the shoulder "Ouch! Brute." She ran her hand over the bruised spot and huffed "You're welcome by the way."
"We know, you guys. We can't even express how thankful we are for what you've done last night." Diana caressed both girls' shoulders and got back to her seat, gesturing Faye to say something nice as well.
"Yeah, so maybe we can pay for your coffees now or something…" Faye shrugged.
"Faye…!" Diana gave Faye a disapproving look, while Melissa and Cassie looked at each other and just shook their heads. They certainly weren't expecting Faye to be thankful, but the smile on both girls' faces shown they had enjoyed their evening, so that was enough for them.
"She's just kidding." Diana said, turning back her attention back to her friends "So, how was your night?"
"Certainly not as eventful as yours…" Melissa teased smirking, looking straight ahead to the road as they were almost back in town.
"For fuck sakes… Yes, Melissa, we had sweet passionate sex all night long. We sure know it, and now you know it too. Can you drop the teasing now? That's kinda my thing." Faye snapped earning a poke in the ribs by her girlfriend's elbow.
Diana's face turned red with her girlfriend's statement, and she buried it in her hands while murmuring "Gosh, Faye!"
After clearing her throat, Cassie spoke as she focused on the road ahead "Well, now that we've moved on from the unnecessary information sharing, where do you guys wanna go? And NO, this isn't an invitation for a snarky answer!"
"Java Brew. All in favor?" Diana asked and got no objections. Java Brew was always their favorite spot to get breakfast anyways.
"Great! I was hoping you'd pick there. This way I can try fill in my application for a part time job there already" Cassie stated, making a turn to exit the road they were at and entering Chance Harbor's main street.
Faye suppressed a laugh "You know, on a regular day I would have a sassy comment on that, but it's unfair after what you did for us last night. Just remember we're witches, Cassie. We can't have degrading jobs, so don't embarrass our class." Faye bit her lips and smiled at how delicious it would feel to have boring little blonde serving her coffee.
Although she tried to get along with the girl for Diana's sake, most of the time she got so annoyed by her it was almost unbearable.
Diana shot Faye a furious look and mouthed "What is wrong with you?" before turning her attention to Cassie "I think that's great, Cassie! If I didn't have so many extracurricular activities, I would definitely join you."
"Yeah, I was thinking about getting a part time job too." Melissa added.
Faye puzzled looked between the three girls trying to make some sense out of this. "Okay, am I the only one that thinks that this job thing is totally unnecessary?"
"We have a lot of extra time, and winter break is coming. I think it can be fun to have something to do over the holidays." Cassie replied, finally pulling over at the coffee place.
"I think you should reconsider the meaning of 'fun'." Faye said, as the girls got out of the car. "And don't you two have boyfriends to spend your free time with?" she added closing the door, going to Diana's side afterwards.
"Nick is most of the time fixing his bike. I think that he'll never finish fixing that damn thing." Melissa replied getting close to her friends.
"Adam works at the Boathouse. And apparently Jake is going out of town for the winter." Cassie said as she locked her car and followed her friends.
"Are you still torn between them?" Diana asked her, stopping her pace, waiting for Cassie to catch up on them.
"Yeah... I mean, I think I'm in love Adam, but I feel that there's something missing. Like there's no spark between us. And then there's Jake, where there's plenty of spark going on. Jake's just so-" the blonde said, and was interrupted by the shorter brunette.
"He's way too hot, we know." Melissa said completing her sentence.
"He's a jerk. You're better off. Actually, in my opinion, you're better off without them both." Faye added opening the door of the café to Diana and the girls.
"That's not a good advice, Faye." Diana stated giving her girlfriend a disapproval stare. "Cassie, if you think you're in love with Adam, why don't you give him a shot?" Melissa suggested while taking her seat in their favorite spot.
"I don't know. I can't choose between them. With them constantly fighting over me, I only get more confused with my feelings." Cassie tried to explain as they took their coats off.
"Boys suck, period. I'm glad I'm done with this macho drama. And these two are only playing you, you know. With all this tension going on between them, it's obvious that you're just their excuse to grope each other in public." The taller brunette huffed and fixed her hair with her usual Diva routine.
"Oh my god, Faye!" Diana almost shouted not believing her girlfriend's theory. Diana didn't understand what the deal was with Faye acting so cranky this morning. And then it hit her. It was because they had to leave the Abandoned House. Faye always acted like this when doing something against her will. Diana found it adorable but still reprehensible, Faye shouldn't be acting so cranky after all the girls did for them, it was wrong and ungrateful of her.
"What? I'm just saying… You have to be one to spot another. It's called 'gaydar', baby. You'll get your own in no time." Faye whispered so no one other than their friends would hear that.
"Look, I know you're cranky and you wanted some alone time this morning, and trust me, so did I, but could you please try to be nice and stop with the teasing already? Show some gratitude" Diana said, trying to keep her voice down but still mad with Faye's attitude.
"Will I get some 'gratitude' if I behav-…" Faye raised an eyebrow and Diana interrupted her.
"Yes! Maybe. Just, be nice." Diana finished and smiled back to the other girls. Luckily for them, the girls didn't ask what that talk was all about.
After Faye and Diana's little awkward moment, and after a few exchanged looks with Melissa, Cassie decided that it was time to change the subject. Every time her love life came up, she felt like walking on thin ice. Even though Diana and Faye were together and happy now, she still was involved with both girl's exes, and that was never a good thing. "So…" she lowered her voice as they sat on a round table by the corner of the shop "…We should call a Circle meeting, figure out what yesterday's ritual really meant, if it magnified our powers or something."
Diana thought about the preposition for a second, being the Circle leader. For a moment, she completely forgot the ritual even happened, her night with Faye apparently taking all her brain space "Yes, that would be wise. I can do some research today and we call a meeting say… tomorrow after school, maybe? If everyone's available" Diana looked around the table, the girls considering it for a while, perhaps trying to remember if they had any previous plans, but as they all shook their heads positively, Diana clapped her hands "Alright then."
Seconds later, they were approached by the waitress, breaking the Circle talk. Each girl ordered their drinks, Diana ordering a tall organic coffee, Melissa and Cassie ordering hot cocoas and Faye settling for her usual herbal tea. And the waitress went to get the orders while they'd decided what to eat.
"Faye, sweetie" Diana started, just the mention of the pet name making Melissa's head immediately snap towards Faye "would you get me a blueberry muffin?" Diana smiled wide, knowing Faye wouldn't deny that. She actually just wanted a minute to talk to Cassie in private. She could use the 'going to the bathroom' card, but with Faye's attitude, she would probably take it as an invitation to make out in the bathroom.
Faye's face blushed from the 'sweetie' and pondered what to reply. "The waitress will come back with our order soon." She said in return.
"But I reeeally wanna a muffin first. Please?" Diana stretched the 'really' in a way she knew Faye wouldn't deny, completing her undenying pleading with her puppy eyes and cutest pout.
Faye felt like Diana was ruining her reputation in front of their friends. But still, her pleading sounded so cute when it left her mouth, Faye couldn't help but find it adorable "Alright then." She replied finally giving in, giving Diana's hand one last squeeze before leaving the table.
"Thank youuu." Diana thanked her girlfriend with a flashing of her best dimpled smile.
As Faye started to get up, Diana prayed that Melissa would follow. And as if reading Diana's thoughts, the short girl broke the silence by saying "I'll get a cookie too" and walked short behind Faye.
As the girls walked outside hearing range, Diana scooped closer to Cassie. They had been trying to use their telepathic skills since they got here, but the place was too crowded for them to actually concentrate and get it to work.
But by Cassie's looks, Diana knew she wanted to ask her something. "So, how was it really?" Cassie blurted out.
They hadn't been doing much of their daily girly talk lately, but every chance Diana would get to escape from Faye, that was probably one of her favorite things to do. Cassie understood her. She had managed to get past the awkwardness of the whole Adam situation, considering she would never want anything to do with him again, so Cassie might as well try happiness with the guy. They both had good souls and deserved happiness.
"Oh, Cassie…" Diana said as she didn't even know how or where to start describing her night with Faye "It was unbelievable. Like a dream, but better." Her face lit up when she remembered how gentle Faye's first touched felt against her center, getting chills up her spine just with the memory of it.
"Was she gentle? I don't see Faye being the patient, gentle kind" Cassie turned up her nose and looked at Faye's direction, they weren't coming back yet, both distracted by the counter, waiting for their orders.
"So you wouldn't recognize her yesterday. She was gentle, and caring, and giving…" Diana took a deep breath, and continued "Everything was so magical, powerful. Nothing like I have ever felt before in my life." Diana's actual thoughts were 'nothing that Adam even got close to giving me before', but kept that to herself. Maybe Cassie would have a better luck. "It definitely went beyond every expectation. At first I was scared I wouldn't know what to do, or how to do it. Terrified to be honest. I mean, you know that first time last month didn't actually counted since I wasn't quite myself. But Faye took the lead and I sort of followed her then and… we just clicked, like, somehow we were so united we were one." Diana looked down, suddenly feeling hot and a bit embarrassed. It was not easy remembering those things, her body would respond too clearly to the memories, her face blushing, her hands not finding a place to settle, going nervously to her lap, to her arms, to her hair…
"Aw, I'm so glad. That's a huge step in a relationship!" Cassie cheered and held one of Diana's hands, calming her down. "And you still have a lot of steps ahead of you, you think you're ready?" Cassie raised an eyebrow at the question. Diana was the strongest woman she knew. Never in her life she had met such a powerful, determined, smart and sweet person like Diana. But even with all that, Cassie knew a thing or two about Diana's insecurities, how she would look for her for advice, scared of how the world would react to her relationship with Faye.
The brunette lowered her voice and hid her face from Faye, making sure there was no way Faye would hear her "Quite honestly, I'm not even totally sure we were ready for… what we did yesterday. I mean, I don't regret it, I really don't! But somehow things will change, and I don't want us to be just…" Diana paused, somewhat scared of saying the word "…sex. I know Faye is pretty much the walking image of sex, but it has to be more than that. And she understands it, but still, we'll have to talk about it. Especially 'cause, like you said, we still have a lot of steps to take. Our parents…" Diana named her main concern first "Our friends, school. I know we're pretty serious, but maybe this is a way for me to test Faye. Is that wrong?" Diana got out of her chest what was really hammering in her head. She trusted Faye with all her heart, and that was why she needed this relationship to work. She needed her future with Faye. She needed for them to work out.
"No, not at all! After all, we're still talking about Faye here, and with your relationship starting how it started…" Cassie knew she didn't have to go any further "I think you're doing the right thing. Just give her something to cling to, 'cause if she even considers looking in someone what you're not giving her, I'll have to go all full witch power on her ass!" Cassie laughed and Diana tagged along.
"No! I won't let it get that far. I mean, it's not like we did it and it's never happening again. It has to, 'cause God, how good it is…" Diana squeezed her eyes, almost not believing how good Faye made her feel "But, like I said, it has to be more than that."
"You're absolutely right. As usual." Cassie admired Diana once again. If there's one person you could always trust the judgment, one person you could always expect to do the right thing, it was Diana. Not only with her own life decisions, but mostly with the Circle decisions as well. No wonder she was the circle's leader. And no doubt they would be just a bunch of teens trying to lift feathers and pencils if Diana wasn't leading them.

As Melissa and Faye left the table, the shorter brunette already started teasing her friend "So, what was all that about, honeeey?" she said in a sweet voice, almost not recognizing her badass friend, who normally wouldn't take orders from no one.
"Shut up, Melissa. I can get a muffin for my girlfriend if I want to." Faye rolled her eyes, she knew that was coming.
"If you want to? Sounded a lot like she wanted to…" Melissa teased again. That's basically all they ever did, tease each other, every day, every time, every chance they'd get, no matter how stupid the opportunity was.
"Well, Diana deserves it. If anything, she deserves it better than Nick, who treats you like shit and still you follow him around like a sick puppy begging to be pet." Faye stood by the counter and placed Diana's orders, when Mel continued.
"Hey, easy! You're too moody for someone who apparently ate a lot of muffin last night." Melissa shrugged.
"HEY! You better take that back! You can be as rude as you want with me, but that's not the way to refer to Diana!" Faye gave Melissa her bitch stare and Melissa knew she meant it.
"Geez, sorry. Props to Diana for whipping your ass so good already. And you wanna call me a puppy...Take a look at yourself, Chamberlain, ordering muffin while your girlfriend comfortably waits."
"Well, she didn't mind to be comfortably waiting last night while I went down long and good on her… So, yeah, I might as well get the girl a muffin" Faye proudly stated.
"Alright. So, since we're on this subject, care to tell me how it was then?" Melissa curiously asked, letting all jokes aside, really wanting to know how was her friend's night of passion.
"If you really wanna know, it was hot as hell, and totally different from our first time, you know… That shitty thing I did to Diana kinda took out all the real fun from it."
"I can see why… Well, I'm really happy for you guys. But come on, you better tell me more than that! What did you guys did exactly? Was it like that girl/girl porn we stumbled upon that time?"
"Nah, that was lesbian porn for horny teenage boys that are still growing hair. Not fun at all. That was not even close compared to what we did." Faye sighed "It was intimate, and hot, and I guess I did all the right things, 'cause woah, I'm talking waterfalls here" Faye congratulated herself and Melissa replied with an amused face "I mean, I don't wanna get graphic, but let's just say it was really fucking amazing. I wish I could do all of that again and again…"
"But of course now that you guys did it, you'll do it again in no time." Melissa shrugged. That's how it worked for her and Nick at least.
"Pfft, not according to Queen Diana there." Faye rolled her eyes and looked back to her girlfriend, who was apparently really caught up in some conversation with Cassie, which she couldn't wait to break off. If they were talking about her, and Faye knew they were, she wanted to be present.
"What you mean?" Melissa inquired.
"Something about her not wanting our relationship to be based only on sex. She's afraid that I'll get tired of her – as if that would ever happen. So she thought that by not having sex we can prevent our relationship from failing at its beginning. I mean, I understand her point, but that's totally bullshit, right?" Faye knew that she could count on Melissa to understand her side.
"Totally! Relationship without sex is friendship." Melissa stopped in her sentence, acknowledging it sounded wrong just as it left her mouth. "Or, not…"
"Yeah, I wouldn't go that far. Also, 'cause she said we can continue the hot make out sessions, but still… How am I supposed to deal with my want of ravishing her everything I gaze upon her body?" Faye licked her lips when she looked back at Diana. The way she was leaning to whisper to Cassie gave her a full view of her full breasts, her mouth watering instantly.
"Well, you could always buy a vibrator" Melissa whispered and laughed as they picked up their orders.
"Good idea, genius, any recommendations?" Faye laughed back as they got to their table.
—
As Faye and Melissa approached the table, Diana and Cassie were so into their own laughter they didn't even noticed both girls. Faye cleared her throat loudly "What's so funny?" she asked and Diana jumped.
"Oh, nothing!" Diana smiled wide and took the muffin from Faye "Thank you, baby".
Cassie returned to her seat so Faye and Diana could sit together again "So, me and Diana were talking about the preparations for the Fire/Ice Dance!" Cassie tried to sound excited. She would help only because of Diana, she was never much of a Dance girl herself. That and she wanted to switch subjects fast before Faye or Melissa asked what were they blushing and giggling about.
"Oh no… Control freak Diana on party mode. Y'all better hide or she'll come for ya…" Faye shook her head and Diana lightly slapped her arm, Faye immediately looking hurt and running her hand over the spot, pouting.
"You guys will help me, right?" Diana asked before taking a bite of her blueberry muffin.
"Oh no, run for your lives…!" Faye pretended to get up, earning a serious look from Diana and scooping back to her side "I'm kidding, geez!"
Cassie looked between Diana and Melissa, as if wanting Melissa to volunteer for once "You see, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, if I get this job…"
"Well, I can help you, Di." Melissa shrugged. Nick is always busy all the time anyway, a distraction could come in handy."
"That's great, thanks, Mel!" Diana smiled, a bit of sugar from the muffin gathering in the sides of her mouth, Faye laughed and Diana looked at her "Now all we need for the Fire/Ice Dance power team is…"
"Nope! Nah-uh! No way!" Faye shook her head violently. Her reputation was being ruined fast enough, last thing she needed was to be seen helping in the school dance.
"If you don't help me, I'll convince your mom in signing you in for the helping committee, whether you like it or not." Diana firmly stated, knowing this was an argument she would win one way or another. Not just because she needed help, but also because she would get to spend a little extra time with Faye while bossing her around, so she couldn't lose this one.
Faye rolled her eyes and stared at Diana for a few seconds, how insanely cute the girl could be even when she was chewing "Fine, Meade. I'll help you with the stupid dance…" she sighed "and clean your mouth, you're getting sugar… everywhere" Faye said as her gaze dropped from her girlfriend's lips to her cleavage, noting the sugar sweeting the exposed flesh. She would love to lick that soft skin clean, but she restrained herself and instead just took a napkin and cleaned Diana's mouth, chin and chest, earning a smile from her girlfriend.
"Aww, you're so sweet" Cassie joked. In that minute she believed Diana when she said how sweet and caring Faye had been last night. It wasn't often that Faye would show this side of her in front of them, but Cassie was sure it was something she must have been sharing a lot with Diana lately, and she was happy for them. She wished Diana all the happiness in the world.
"Uhhh, whipped!" Melissa commented at the display of affection, just as their orders arrived, each girl enjoying their drinks as well as each other's company. Despite all their differences, they had something stronger than the Circle to bind them together... Their friendship.
