Max sighed in content as the movie credits began to roll on her laptop screen. After their date, the two girls went back to Max's room to watch some movies, because they didn't want the date to end. "That was pretty good, huh, Kate?" Max inquired, but received no response from her girlfriend. Her blue eyes drifted to Kate, who was laying beside her, and it turned out that the blonde girl was asleep. Max chuckled to herself, Kate was so cute. She then closed her laptop and sat it on the floor. A small yawn escaped her lips, and pretty soon, Max felt tired herself. The brown haired girl thought it would be a good idea to get some sleep herself, so she turned over on her side, spooning Kate, and closed her eyes. It wasn't long before sleep overcame her.
It was late, when Kate was woken up by a crack of thunder, and then a flash of lightning from the window. She had always hated the rain, and just storms in general. And it sounded like it was pouring pretty hard outside at the moment. It took her a few moments to remember where in the world where she was, but then recollected that she was in Max's dorm room, and speaking of Max, the brunette girl was fast asleep right beside her, her arms wrapped around Kate's torso, and their legs intertwined together. She was so warm, and Kate was glad that she had fallen asleep during the movie.
Another crack of thunder could be heard, and Kate gasped in surprise. She tried to get as close to Max as possible, and then buried her head in her girlfriend's neck. Kate hoped the storm would go away soon, because there was no way she'd be able to sleep while it was thundering and lightning outside. The storms had always been a fear of hers. The blonde took a few deep breaths, inhaling Max's sweet scent to help her calm down. "Max..." She whispered lowly, tightening her vice grip on the other girl.
Max merely stirred and turned over, "Hm?" She inquired groggily.
"It's thundering." Kate whispered, her lips dangerously close to Max's ear.
Max's blue eyes fluttered open slightly, and she reached up to rub the sleep out of them. She remembered that when she and Kate met, the girl shared her fear of storms with the other. A smile pulled at the corner of Max's lips, and she turned over to look at Kate, "It's fine, Kate, I'm right here." She cooed to her girlfriend, wrapping her arms around her once more. Another rumble of thunder could be heard, and Max felt Kate jump in her arms. "Shh... I've got you. It's just thunder..." She trailed off, placing a kiss on Kate's forehead.
Kate gave a weak smile, "What would I do without you, Max?"
"Well, you'd be lonely, that's for sure." Max replied playfully. "But so would I, so it's okay."
"How long do you think it's going to rain?" Kate inquired, glancing over at Max's alarm clock. It was a little past four in the morning, and the rain still hadn't lessoned a single bit. Kate had lived in Arcadia Bay enough that she knew it could rain for hours at a time. It looked like she was going to be here with Max for a while, not that she minded at all. "Never mind," She added. "That was a dumb question." A laugh escaped her lips, as she looked over at Max who was staring intently at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Kate asked, her brown orbs boring in Max's blue ones. They were like oceans, and Kate wanted to drown in them, or get lost at sea. Whichever it was, she didn't care, as long as she was with her girlfriend, she'd be happy.
"Because I really want to kiss you right now." Max breathed out, sending a shiver down Kate's spine.
"Nobody's stopping you." Kate replied gently. The brunette smiled, and brought her head closer to Kate's slowly. She didn't know why, but she wanted to cherish this kiss, to really show Kate just what she meant to her. Slowly but surely, she could feel Kate's breath fanning across her face, and it smelled sweet. Finally, their lips came in contact with one another, and it was like a spark ignited between the two. Moving in total synchronization, creating a sweet friction that Max never wanted to go away. Deciding to be daring, she let her tongue sweep across Kate's lower lip, asking for entrance. She had never french kissed before, but it couldn't be too hard, right? Kate pulled away, "Max..." She trailed off, blushing shyly.
"I'm sorry." Max said immediately. "I should have asked."
"It's not that." Kate replied in a whisper as lighting flashed across the sky.
"What is it?"
"I've never... Done that before." Kate answered, feeling a little bit embarrassed at the fact that she was so inexperienced with all of this.
"I've never done that either." The brunette replied with a small smile, "Don't feel bad." Kate didn't say anything else, but only pressed her lips back to her girlfriend's in another loving kiss. And this time it was Kate who managed to run her tongue across Max's bottom lip, begging for an entrance. Max let her in immediately, opening her mouth and letting their tongues wrestle for dominance. This kiss, felt different, but not because it was a tongue kiss either, it was because Max could really feel Kate. And really feel how much that her girlfriend cared for her. When they pulled away from each other, it was only because Max needed a breath of air. "It stopped raining." She smiled as she looked out the window.
