Chapter 53

The chirping of the birds invaded the quiet inside Hitomi's bedroom. Sunlight was streaming into the room, the bright curtains only shielding it superficially.

Hitomi and Leifang were lying in the bed, covered by the blanket. The Chinese was nestled against the other girl, resting her head close to her bosom, while Hitomi had an arm loosely around her. Leifang made a sound and her eyelids opened up slowly. She blinked a few times to focus her sight and stifled a yawn, then glared towards the window at the birds that she couldn't see right now.

A look at the clock told her that it was time to get up soon anyway so she voiced her irritation with a small grumble before turning to look at her lover, sleeping like she had no care in the world. Leifang smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder, but got a better idea and got herself in a sitting position, the blanket sliding down and revealing her bare upper body.

It was late February. The new year had come and gone, and with the passing of the months following their first lovemaking they had become increasingly comfortable with each other and slept only in their panties when they shared the bed most of these days.

Which was a lot because the few nights that they hadn't spend at either one's place together could be counted on one hand. They loved the feeling of their warm bodies pressed together, flesh pressed against flesh. Many nights had already passed where they simply lied in bed like this, cuddling and talking until they fell asleep.

Her lips parted into a small grin. Of course some other nights...

Leifang watched Hitomi for a few more seconds before leaning down and capturing her lips in a kiss.

Hitomi awoke to the feeling of lips being pressed against hers and, recognizing the shape of them, returned the kiss as much as she could, what with just having woken up. She opened one of her eyes lazily after Leifang broke the kiss and eyed her as she rewarded her with a great view.

"Morning sleepyhead." Leifang greeted her affectionally.

"Morning." Hitomi said and stretched herself, making a satisfied sound as she loosened a few kinks that way. She then placed her arms around her girlfriend's waist and pulled her down again saying "I'd like to take second helpings" before kissing her once more.

Leifang moaned slightly as the German deepened the kiss. But as much as she liked it they needed to get out of bed, so she pulled away. "We should get u-ah!" she was surprised as Hitomi flipped them over so that she was lying on her back and the Karateka was on top. Hitomi grasped her hands and pulled them up, holding them in place.

"Let me go." Leifang said, trying to be serious but failed to do so and giggled, wiggling a little as Hitomi started to plant kisses along her neck.

"Grr." Hitomi growled playfully and kissed her way up to her lips.

"Come on now, we really should get up."

"Let's just stay in bed." Hitomi said in between kisses, slowly chipping away at Leifang's willpower. Just as she was about to turn her attention to another very delightful part of her anatomy Leifang pulled her knee up, hitting her lightly in the gut and making her loose the tight grip on her hands.

Leifang used this to worm her way out from under her and got up from the bed, placing her hands on her hips. Hitomi lied down on her side and placed her chin on one hand, as if to say "Come back and you'll enjoy it."

The older girl couldn't help but check her out and found that she wouldn't mind taking her up on that offer.

Later...maybe. She thought and let out a huff. "You know just as well as me that you have an appointment with the dentist in two hours."

Hitomi looked at her for a moment then let out a groan, took the pillow and buried her head under it. She totally forgot about that one!

After months of outright ignoring that she lost a tooth Leifang had been fed up and arranged an appointment for her. That was all fine and dandy if not for one small fact.

She absolutely hated dentists.

Sure she wore braces when she was younger but her parents had to, and that wasn't an exaggeration, drag her there.

The smell of the doctor's office, the sound of the dental drill...Just thinking about it made a shiver go down her spine. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it over the rest of her body that wasn't covered, as if that would just make the problem go away.

"Really now." Leifang muttered and pulled the blanket off her. Hitomi looked at her from under the pillow. "Now stop being a baby and get up. If you're good I might give you something."

With that said Leifang turned on her heel and headed for the door.

"And what would that be?" Hitomi asked. The Chinese only looked over her shoulder and gave her a small wink, then slapped herself playfully on the butt and walked out of the room.

Hitomi remained lying there for a good while until she could faintly hear the shower being turned on. Letting out a sigh she rolled to the side and got up from the bed, heading over to the bathroom.

Leifang had left the door ajar and looking into it Hitomi could see her silhouette through the shower curtain. Fingers pressed against the door she pushed it open so that she could sneak in, and closed the door silently. She tip-toed over to the shower and discarded her panties along the way, then stepped in.

Hitomi circled Leifang's waist and planted soft kisses on the taller girl's shoulder, enjoying the hot water as it ran down her body.

"If you think that's going to convince me otherwise I'm telling you it's not working." Leifang said with obvious amusement in her voice.

"I'm not trying to convince you. I know when a plan is hopeless." She said and nuzzled her neck.

"Well having your boobs pressed against my back is telling me otherwise."

"Is it working? Just out of curiosity." she added.

"Not one bit."

"If I knew you'd react like this over a back-teeth I'd never started frenching you." Hitomi muttered, making Leifang smile and turn around in her arms.

"Are you done now?" she asked.

"Yeah." Hitomi sighed. "Pretty much."

Leifang placed her lips on top of Hitomi's in a soft, short kiss.

"Good."

Hitomi pressed her softly against the wall and in turn captured Leifang's lips in a deep kiss. The Chinese eagerly returned it and pulled one of her legs up, her thigh brushing against her lover's hip and her lower leg coiling slightly around her.

Cupping one of her breasts the German gave it a gentle squeeze. She smiled into the kiss as she heard the other girl let out a pleasant whimper and buried her fingers into her hair, racking her freshly manicured fingernails across her scalp.

Their lips parted and she switched her attention over to Leifang's neck, nibbling on the wet skin.

"We don't have time for this." Leifang closed her eyes and absentmindedly massaged the Karateka's skull. But Hitomi ignored her and continued her assault on the soft flesh of her neck all the while lifting her knee between her thighs.

Oh god Leifang cursed Hitomi for knowing exactly what buttons she had to press. Mustering up all the reason that she had left she put her hands on the Karateka's shoulder blades and pushed her gently away. "No." she said adamantly.

Hitomi looked at her for a moment and then let out a sigh and started to pout. "Whatever."

"Now don't be like that." Leifang leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "We can continue later when we're back again."

She gave her another quick peck. "So how about we finish cleaning up?"

After having showered, eaten breakfast and another round of teeth brushing the couple headed out to take the tram to the mall where the doctor's office was located.

The closer they got the more Hitomi just wanted to turn around. In the back of her mind she could already hear the screeching sound of the drill and started to get a stinging feeling inside the root of the tooth that had remained after the majority of it had been punched out.

I really hate dentists. She thought and turned towards Leifang. "You know we can still get out of the tram and go home." she said cheerfully.

"Don't be silly." Leifang said and thumbed through the fashion magazine she had bought the other day. "Oh. That's a nice dress." she pointed to a not too fancy looking red dress that would look great on Leifang's body in the German's opinion.

"Yeah, I guess." Hitomi said and looked out of the window.

They didn't say anything further and got off the tram a few stops later. As they walked through the mall Hitomi looked at various shops and spotted the dress that Leifang had shown her in that magazine.

"Hey look." she told her. "There's that dress. Why don't we go and buy that one?"

"Not a chance." Leifang sing-songed. Hitomi let out a sight and started to resign herself to her fate.

The doctor's office was located on the upper floor of the mall and while it was small sized it looked nice. After saying that she had an appointment they couple was sent into the waiting room where a few other people were already sitting.

As they waited Hitomi tried desperately to find something to do, sometimes trying to read a month old magazine, but after that got old she just decided to look around.

Her eyes found a small boy, sitting there like he had no care in the world. Back when she was his age her mother had to hold her hand the whole time.

They boy was called up and left the room with his mother, leaving Hitomi to find something else to do. In the end she decided to read today's newspaper.

After about roughly half an hour the boy left the dentist's room, looking like nothing had happened. Hitomi furrowed her brows, getting a little mad that she was sitting here, being nervous while that little brat remained unfazed.

She gritted her teeth and continued to read.

"Miss Buchfink." She was called up. Looking at Leifang she earned a smile from her.

"I'll wait here." Leifang said.

"Alright." she said and got up, walking to the dental assistant.

"Room 2, please." the woman said. With a nod Hitomi walked to the door and took a deep breath.

Now or never.

"See, was that so bad now?" Leifang asked as they walked through the door back into the mall.

"No." Hitomi said a little disgruntled. The left side of her face was a little numb from the local anesthesia. The doctor had removed the remaining root, so she expected some pain later on. She also had to bite a piece of cotton on top of the wound for at least twenty minutes to stop the bleeding.

"So what did the doctor say?" the Chinese asked.

"Well he gave me this estimates of costs for the denture." she said, having a little trouble speaking, and help up the piece of paper. "I'll just have to hand that in at the insurance office and then we'll wait."

"I'm sure we can make some time." Leifang said, giving her a mischievous look and hooked her left arm around Hitomi's right, pulling her towards the escalator. "So about that dress..."

Hitomi let herself be dragged by her lover and, despite all things, managed to smile, feeling like she accomplished something today.

And seeing her in that dress as a reward?

So worth it.

Don't you guys just hate dentists too?

Well nothing else to say here, see ya next week guys :)
