A/N: Mega-thanks to everyone who is reading and hopefully enjoying this fic. I assure you, it's not over folks. A special shout-out to those who leave reviews like Gabriela and Anony. It really does motivate me to update so anyone else who wants to leave a review would be greatly appreciated. Now on with the show!
Sophie was convinced that it was her resolve to move forward that had led her to give Ellie another chance. She knew that she had not given the woman a fair chance. Ellie had been sitting next to her during church services for a few weeks now. They remained friendly, some lesbian solidarity being somewhat necessary in their Christian church. It was nice to have someone who understood you. Sometimes even Christians can get all judgey about sexual orientation. Sophie liked having an ally beside her.
Also it turned out Ellie was dead funny. Some Sundays the pastor wasn't particularly exciting in his service and they'd start passing notes back and forth. Sophie had on occasion been forced to bite her tongue from some of the cutting observations that Ellie made about the heteros. It was a bit juvenile but it had made things a bit easier.
She was still fighting her emotions about Sian's hot and cold behavior. One minute she was trading sexy texts with Sophie, the next she was making it clear that she was dating every male in pre-law. Sophie felt like she was getting yanked about. It was time that she was able to show Sian what it was like to be in her shoes.
So one Sunday Ellie had traded her a note that said, "Will you go out with me? If yes Check box. If no then burn this note ASAP." Sophie had smiled and checked yes. What did she have to lose right?
She looked back at Ellie as she tossed the note over nonchalantly. The other girls face lit up like Christmas morning.
Clearly Ellie had it bad for Sophie Webster, and Sophie liked the change. It was nice to be pursued for once. Too often it was always the opposite.
They had then made plans for the upcoming Friday night. It was going to be a proper dinner date.
"I'm going to take you somewhere fancy Sophie Webster" she had winked.
"It's really no biggie" Sophie had tried to act cool.
"No! We're getting out of Weatherfield that's for sure. So be prepared to be properly dazzled," Ellie had said as they parted after church services.
Sophie had to admit that she liked the attention. When she had been a girl it had been all about Rosie. Then it had all been about Sian. Nobody fancied Sophie, or tried to win her over. The role reversal was nice for a change.
And even if she wasn't really hot for Ellie, she at least should give the poor girl a break. Who knows? It could be fun to be the adored one for a change.
Sian_Powers: So do you want to skype on Friday? *wink wink*
Sophie101: Oh Can't this week
Sian_Powers: And WHY?
Sophie101: Keep your knickers on. Got a hot date. *Smile*
Sian_Powers: Really?!
Sophie101: Thanks for the shock. Y'know there are other girls in Weatherfield.
Sian_Powers: Well have a good time. Really.
Sophie101: Do you really mean that?
Sian_Powers: Course! Who wouldn't want the HAWT Sophie Webster?
Sally, of course, was all up in her business about it. She now had free time to bother with her daughters now that Tim had dumped her. Sophie felt bad for her mum, but really who didn't see that coming? Sophie just worked on trying to avoid the subject.
"So I'm just confused…" Sally started. Her and Sophie were sitting on the couch watching TOWIE.
"What?" Sophie asked barely paying attention.
"Well Ricky has cheated on Jess multiple times and yet she still took him back?" Sally pointed out with a bit of disgust in her face.
"Apparently, but then again they are both crazy popular mum so" Sophie commented while focusing on her split ends. Maybe it was time to schedule and appointment with Audrey she thought.
"Well I wouldn't no matter how good-looking he is" Sally observed.
"Well he's a lucky fool because that Jess is well fit" Sophie laughed. Her mum sighed and rolled her eyes. Sophie laughed. She really did love winding her mum up.
"So where is this new lass taking you on Friday?" Sally asked. Sophie could tell that Sally was getting ready to kick off. Sometimes her mum would not just let things go.
"I told you, it's some fancy place in Manchester" Sophie whinged.
"Well I just don't know why you are giving this girl false hope when we all know…" Sally started.
Sophie stopped her. "Mum! You don't know what you're talking about, so just leave it" Sophie warned her. She got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen to put on some tea. She needed something to do to stop her from kicking off on her mum.
"I'm just saying that it's not fair to lead a girl on Sophie" Sally replied.
"Mum! You need to stop right now, because we both know that this conversation isn't about me. And by the way Sian thinks it's fine to date every bloke that gives her compliment so I think it's okay for me to accept one date from a nice girl" Sophie asserted. She grabbed her cuppa and headed upstairs to her room.
Ellie rang the doorbell right on time. It seemed that this girl was pretty eager Sophie said as she came down the stairs. Normally she would have her mother answer the door so that she could make an entrance but Sally was doing her head in this week. She tried her best to avoid her at the moment.
Sophie had dressed herself to the nines. Make-up, hair, and all. She'd really put in some effort. Sophie noticed that Ellie had as well as she opened the door. She looked all made up and had a cab waiting to take them into town.
"You look gorgeous" Ellie blushed.
"So do you. Let's go" Sophie said extending out her hand.
Ellie took it effortlessly as they headed down to the streetcar.
"I get dead embarrassed talking to my mum about it, she gets all coded about it" Ellie laughed as they took in dessert.
Ellie had made a reservation at a real expensive grown up restaurant. Sophie was worried that the girl had spent a fortune, but she claimed that Sophie was worth it. Between them they had put away a bottle of wine as well. It loosened them up.
"My mum still thinks it's a phase that I'll move on from" Sophie shook her head.
"Eh, my mum tries to be all cool about it right" Ellie laughs. "She'll be all going on about how she still watches Ellen and that Brittana is her favorite" Ellie cracked.
Sophie considered Ellie for a moment. She wasn't as hot as Hayley or Sian had been, but she wasn't bad looking. Good figure, sweet face, nice laugh. Maybe she could give the girl a chance.
It had been four dates, but now they were at Ellie's place again. Ellie was nipping at her neck. She had found the very spot that made Sophie go weak at the knees. All that Sophie could do was moan. She had seen the look in the girl's face after their date at the Cineplex. Ellie was eager for it. They had shared some hot make out sessions but still had not slept together. Ellie admitted that she wasn't too experienced with sex so she was insecure about satisfying Sophie. Sophie tried to reassure her that it was all right.
Still it was getting to that point and they both knew it.
That evening Sophie could feel that Ellie was finally letting herself go. Sophie let out a loud moan as Ellie reached underneath her skirt. She had picked it specifically for it's easy access possibilities and now they were paying off.
"Please Sophie, Stay with me," Ellie moaned. Sophie just nodded as they started pulling each other clothes off.
