Kaitlynn covered her eyes with her arm, draping it over them and sighed. She woke as soon as the sun peered through the window hitting her face. She rolled over and a smile formed on her face to find brown skin beside her curled against her sleeping calmly. Now she laid on her back the sheet just covering her lower body and sighed. She had nothing to do and nowhere to go so she cursed the sun for waking her up on the weekend. She hated when it did that. She supposed it was how her body was trained as well.

Over the years, she got into the habit of waking up to the sun, exercising, and then going about her day. So now that she was 'retired' she guessed it was only fair that the habit would become her worst enemy. She no longer had desire for getting up so early unless she had an errand to run or shop for necessities, while the exercise was still something she did the waking up early was something she wished would have faded away. She couldn't really complain though this time when she woke up to Karma next to her. It set her stomach off in what do they call it..butterflies. It gave her butterflies that she was still there and looking more at peace than she had for awhile.

She knew when she told -well more like asked- Karma she could stay with her she wouldn't go anywhere. Karma had been kept a secret from the world for forever with hardly any real option to see the world, and she was in her mid-twenties so she had to have some say so! The thing was her father kept telling her no and kept her hidden away, afraid a one-time affair would ruin his career. Karma had nowhere else to go, but Kaitlynn made sure to tell her every day she had the option to leave or visit where ever she wanted to. Whenever she wanted to. It was almost sad to see Karma be ecstatic about the news like it was the first time she heard it, then again Kaitlynn did silently promise her she'd never be Karma's father. She'd keep her safe but never cross any line her father did. She could see Karma appreciated it. Karma smiled more and was...more herself when she was with Kaitlynn she noticed. It made her happy.

Since she began to live with Kaitlynn, Kaitlynn found herself happier and more outgoing with a smile every day. She knew she wasn't the picture perfect girlfriend Karma had ever wanted but for Karma she was just enough or at least what she wanted and needed. That made Kaitlynn beyond happy to know she was what she needed. Kaitlynn knew since they established their relationship she found herself holding Karma tighter by the day and her life was changing by the day so she didn't fool herself into thinking it was a meaningless relationship because it wasn't. To Kaitlynn, this was probably the healthiest relationship she had ever had, and it was the one that meant the most to her. She had only had one other relationship in her life but even then it wasn't as healthy as her relationship with Karma was. Karma kept her sane and grounded while she kept Karma safe and let her float when she needed. It was the first time she found security and safe with another person at night.

Beside her, the bed moved and shifted making her smile that Karma was finally up. What she didn't expect was to feel weight pressed on her. She moved her arm just enough to see beyond it and found Karma sitting on her abdomen hunched over, hair flipped to one side of her face, and her hands on either side of Kaitlynn's head, she was smiling as well. It surprised her, but she never moved her arm any further. Karma had nothing but a bra and a pair of Kaitlynn's shorts on. If she was honest this was one of the most beautiful things she'd ever seen. Then again Karma was one of the most beautiful people she had ever seen. She was starstruck.

Karma bit her lip and smiled down at her girlfriend.

"Mornin' shirtless." She muttered and laughed as Kaitlynn looked down and nodded. She was shirtless. It didn't matter, but it was a funny observation.

"Morning, angel." Kaitlynn smiled back up at her. For effect, she shifted and pressed her hips into Karma making her falter forward giving Kaitlynn a chance to give her a quick kiss before she sat up completely scrunching her nose.

"You don't play fair do you?" She asked. There was nothing wrong with the albeit innocent tactic and show of affection. If she had to say so she liked it. It was something she hadn't been given before and it was nice. She rested her palms on Kaitlynn's taunt stomach waiting for a reply.

"Nope." She admitted. Karma shook her head. "What? Why play fair? That's not fun." She laughed.

"Two can play at that game.." Karma muttered under her breath.

"Really now?" Kaitlynn didn't believe that. However when Karma's evil smirk appeared she instantly regretted not believing it. "Karm-"

Kaitlynn was cut off by a kiss. It was deep and savory and it noted to her that she wouldn't like- or rather would like what came next all too much. Karma cut the short kiss making her pout but didn't disappoint. Karma pressed her body into Kaitlynn's and placed a string of kisses to her jaw making Kaitlynn gasp and clutch her close. It was almost too easy when she placed a kiss to the sensitive spot on her neck just below her jaw. Kaitlynn groaned about that not being fair at all and Karma wanted to laugh at that. Of course, that wasn't to her. She figured out the sensitive spot the first time she kissed Kaitlynn upon arriving when it got heated. Karma's leg found it's way in between Kaitlynn's pressing into her rewarding her with a couple of sounds that she loved to hear and could remember hearing from last night. She nibbled at the flesh on her neck but soon returned to leaving a trail of kisses to her chest. Kaitlynn didn't dare fidget. She didn't want Karma to think she was doing anything wrong. It was almost sweet the way she could get the sounds and movements out of Kaitlynn like she did. She slid down her body leaving kisses in her wake.

She appreciated the muscle Kaitlynn had, but she found it entertaining to find Kaitlynn was one of the most eager people she had ever met when it came to this kind of thing. Then again Kaitlynn was one of those 'I need what I need and I need it now' kind of people who probably hadn't been teased much in her life. She was in for a ride dating Karma who loved to tease when it came to whom she found herself in physical interaction with like this. She loved it tease until they couldn't take it, but normally she wasn't so cruel, but she still found the teasing to be very fun. More than anything, however, she likes it more when Kaitlynn was in control. Kaitlynn, when teased, was...an animal in a way, but when she had full control from the beginning she was a considerate and careful lover. Hell, even when she's an animal she's still careful and considerate.

Kaitlynn let out a moan as Karma's kissing began getting lower and lower...however the next sound out of her mouth was a groan of frustration as Karma sat up and crawled off of the bed stopping at her sweats. Karma gave her a smirk and threw on a shirt. Kaitlynn sat up and pouted at her as her eyes traveled over her girlfriend. Karma put a hand on her hip and shrugged.

"Time for breakfast then." Was all she said before leaving, she heard Kaitlynn flop against the bed and groan again in frustration. She had to chuckle at that as she continued to the kitchen.

To be honest she should have expected and remembered that there was hardly any to no food left. They had mostly been eating takeout lately and hadn't thought about grocery shopping. She had been going out with Kaitlynn on errands and visiting some of her friends so when they ended up at home by days end they were too tired to fix something for dinner so they'd order takeout. She didn't complain because it was actually pretty good but she did somewhat miss a homemade meal.

Thinking about it, it was actually sweet when she went out with Kaitlynn to visit people. Kaitlynn had no problem introducing her as her girlfriend and standing nearby protectively when it came to a few people. It was...sweet to her that she had no problem admitting their relationship to anyone. She was sure it was just the way Kaitlynn was but it seemed Kaitlynn hadn't had many relationships so it meant something to the both of them.

After searching about the counters, cabinets, and fridge she came to the conclusion that they would in fact have to go out shopping or order takeout again. While takeout was good she wanted something made from the stove. She could cook, atleast a little bit and that was good enough for her. She wasn't even sure how long it had been since Kaitlynn had something made at home to eat. She smiled to herself. Cooking for her girlfriend? There was something she didn't have a problem with doing at all. There wasn't much besides a little lunch meet, some beer, tea, and peaches in the fridge. That was too little to do anything with, and the ingredients there wouldn't have worked well together.

Kaitlynn finally forced herself out of the comfy bed, and put a bra on after cursing herself for being easy to tease. She could take a bullet to the knee and keep on walking but being teased by her girlfriend? She easily succumbed to that. It wasn't a problem usually but she felt she was too easy to tease, or Karma was just good at teasing at her. There were a lot of things only Karma could do to her. She was the only one who could convince her to go to bed when she needed it, to relax when she was too tense, to let go when she held onto things too tightly, and make her heart nearly explode in her chest by just a smile. So she stepped out of the room tying her hair up in a messy ponytail and sighed as she looked around. She'd have to clean up a bit.

"Looks like we'll have to go out shopping." Karma told her as she turned around to look at Kaitlynn. Kaitlynn paused but rose an eyebrow. "We-you have like nothing."

"We." Kaitlynn corrected her as she stepped into the kitchen herself opening a cabinet to check. Karma was right. She could have swore though that they had something left..apparently not. Time moved faster than she thought. Huh. "Looks like you're right." She smiled giving her girlfriend a quick kiss to the cheek.

"You doubted me?" Karma feigned shock. Kaitlynn rolled her eyes and picked up the pack of cigarettes placing one inbetween her teeth. Karma never seemed bothered by the rare smoking Kaitlynn did. She was still trying to quit but taking it very slowly which Karma had no problem with.

"No I did not. I just had to be sure." She admitted. "I swore we had some ha-"

"You mean the ham you ate last night because you were dying of hunger and couldn't wait for the pizza guy?" Kaitlynn shook her head and lit the cigarette taking a long draft of it. "Oh I do wonder that happened to it." She teased. Kaitlynn smiled at her and rolled her eyes.

"Yes well It's not my fault Christie had us up amd about yesterday before you decided to take a bath before we could get some takeout." Not that she was complaining though, if it helped Karma relax then she had no problem whatsoever with it.

"Sure," Karma took the cigarette from Kaitlynn causing her to pout before she jumped off the counter placing a quick kiss to her lips and found her way to their bedroom. "Well we're still going shopping and you need to get dressed."

She didn't think they wouldn't go out, she just didn't expect it to be so soon. There had to be something they had right? She didn't like crowded places and usually around this time nearly every place was crowded. That's what she got for living in a city she guessed. Well if anything this was an excuse to do something productive and proudly state her ability to cook a damn good meal. Dressing was a bother though.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" As soon as she asked she heard a scoff and Karma's head appeared around the corner.

"You have no shirt on. Personally I like it but I don't think the outside world would be too pleased, and you could get arrested." Kaitlynn's eyebrows dipped and she put a hand on her hip.

"The world can kiss my ass." She stated. "Wait why would I get arrested?"

"For being too hot." And she disappeared again leaving Kaitlynn with a deep blush and muttering about how impossibly smooth and such a dork she was before following her to their room.

Getting dressed might have taken longer if Karma hadn't teased her about the pink cheeks when she entered the room and the fact the first thing she saw opening up a drawer was an 'say it loud' tye dye rainbow shirt. It contrasted the usually darker clothes that she had about. Kaitlynn wasn't about style it was mainly comfort though, if she could pull it off and look good in it that was a plus. A big plus to Karma which she found her incredibly attractive all the time regardless. She had seen her in sweaters, sweats, and the most ridiculous hats she had ever seen but still found her attractive on every level. Well okay the hat wasn't attractive but Kaitlynn herself was.

Karma realized how little she did own and how little she had here. Most of the stuff she owned was still with her parents, and they refused to give it to her until she talked to them and came back. Like hell she'd do that, she was a dirty little secret to them. Why should she ever go back to a place she was hidden and concealed at when she was perfectly fine in an open enviornment with a woman who if she had her way would tell the entire world she was there? She wouldn't. Kaitlynn was the first to notice the drastic difference in her attitude and daily life once she started living with her, she was no longer depressed or shut down as she usually was. She smiled much more and felt more at peace with herself. She was actually happy. That wasn't to say that she wasn't ever happy with her parents or siblings, but she was kept in the dark and out of reach of the things her siblings experienced. There were happy moments but all in all she wasn't happy. She was now though. So she could just buy more stuff.

In the end Kaitlynn had to wait for Karma to finish her makeup in the bathroom, but she waited happily. It gave her the small amount of time she needed to think through how to go about the day. You see, the one relationship she did have before (an actual one) happened in a time she was literally caged up and used for experimentation, she still wasn't sure if you could call that a relationship either. Now she had a real relationship with a living person she felt everything for. It wasn't one of the few people who took an interest in her for late night skin on skin contact, it was someone who actually cared about her and her mental state as well as physical. She had never shown affection to someone in a public place and have it reciprocated instead of shoved to the side like it didn't happen. She wasn't sure if that was something Karma did or would like, she wasn't even sure if she liked it.

"Okay I'm done. Sorry about that." Karma smiled running a hand through her hair.

Kaitlynn opened her mouth to say something but was caught off guard. The sun pouring in from the window lit up the room and specifically Karma. Of course she had to prove to be more beautiful than she was before, it never ceased to astound her. She had to blink a few times just to make sure it was real still.

"Kait? You okay?" Kaitlynn snapped out of her gaze and stood up nodding. "Are you sure? You zoned out?"

"Because I was staring at you." Before Karma could say anything Kaitlynn shifted popping her neck. "Who's going to drive?"

"I am."

"Really now?" She rose an eyebrow. "Well you're a better driver than I am. I still want to know where you learned to drive." Karma's face lit up with a smile.

"When your father is a senator and is in the business with some shady ass people you learn how to outrun them real quick." Kaitlynn gave her a skeptical look. Karma only laughed and headed for the door grabbing her hand dragging her with her.

"I can fly a plane." Kaitlynn laughed this time.

"I figured that after you saved me by swinging a wrecking ball into the guy about to kill me you had diverse driving skills."

"Yea well he was a dick, and not to mention I'm not a damsel in distress." Kaitlynn's hand tightened around Karma's.

"No you're not. That's the one thing I've learned, you are stronger than I am."
