Chapter 18: Trouble
They found themselves kissing again. Sayaka doesn't really have the energy for another round. Thankfully, her lover's stomach growls.
"Okay, let's shower and then eat."
"How about eating first?"
"We reek of sex."
Yuu sniffed at the lanky girl's neck. "You smell fine enough to me."
"Still, I want to be clean before I eat."
"I don't have strength for showers right now."
"I'll take care of you."
Yuu considers it for a bit.
"What are you thinking?"
"I've got plans about showers with you, which is why I wanted to eat first."
"You can make your plans some other day. Now let's shower fast and eat." Sayaka said, getting out of the blanket and eventually the bed. Yuu watched as her naked girlfriend offered her a hand.
"You are so sexy."
"We already had sex. You don't need to flirt anymore." She rolled her eyes but still smiled.
"You, being out-of-this-world attractive, didn't change after the fact." Yuu said, taking the hand.
"Alright, alright. Come, I am very hungry. I didn't know you had that much stamina."
"I run every day before school. Also, when I went to training camps in middle school for softball, we pretty much ran drills before sunrise until it set."
"Then I should be surprised that I could keep up with you the whole night."
The petite girl only laughs.
They showered together very quickly, doing the bare minimum to get clean. Not giving Yuu any opportunity to take in what Sayaka looks like when water is all over her body. When both are drying themselves with towels, Yuu took her yellow dress from the counter.
"Yuu, follow me."
Though puzzled, the kōhai obeyed. They got out of the bathroom and walked towards the closet. Sayaka showed her a section there dedicated to the redhead. She had shop clothes that were in line with Yuu's style.
"Sayaka!" Yuu complained as she eyed the clothes.
"What?"
"Why? When did you do this?"
"Ah, a week ago, I think. After our last study session. Yeah. You were so gorgeous in casual clothes, so I shop for these."
There are blouses, shirts, t-shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, and dresses. Pairs of underwear and bras. Even socks and some sneakers on the bottom shelf.
"These are all too much."
Sayaka hugs her from behind. "You are my girlfriend. It is only natural that I take care of you. And so that you won't have to worry about clothes when you sleep over here."
"How can I return the favor?"
"Loving me is enough."
"I love you too much. But I feel like it's not enough. You are giving me everything."
"You are everything to me." Sayaka said it nonchalantly. "Now wear something you like, and let's eat. I am famished."
Her parents were not home, so the couple are alone at the dining table. The maid served them a late breakfast.
"This is weird."
"How so?"
"It feels like we are living together."
Sayaka pondered as she swallowed some scrambled eggs. "We probably would in the future."
The pair ate silently after that, starving after their amorous night. As expected, Yuu gulped down everything.
"You really are a big eater, aren't you?"
"I dislike wasting food. But you don't eat much, do you?"
"Not everyone can eat everything and not gain weight."
"Ah, but now you have an activity that can burn calories." Yuu whispered.
Sayaka blushed.
After they ate, Sayaka felt very sleepy.
"Want to take a nap with me? Before I take you home."
"I've got other plans, but napping is alright."
"You are insatiable."
"I'm just trying to get as much as possible. It might take days before we get to do it again."
"Hmmn, that is true." Sayaka said as they walked towards her room.
When the lanky girl saw her bed, she made a mental note to change the sheets after taking Yuu home. She debated if the couch was big enough for them to sleep together.
"Couch or reading chair?"
"Bed"
"Sheets need replacing first."
"Let's change it then."
The two had fun changing the sheets and pillowcases. Making the task longer than it should be. They had pillow fights, and sometimes Sayaka would envelop Yuu with the sheets like a mummy and then hug and kiss her heartily while the other couldn't move.
After tucking in the blanket and putting all the pillows back again, Yuu throws herself on the bed and motions for Sayaka to join her.
"You are so energetic for someone who didn't get enough sleep." Sayaka yawns.
"Don't worry, I will not attack you right now. I can see that you really need some sleep."
"Thanks. But it's okay. You can attack all you want."
She lay on her back beside her. Yuu immediately put an arm over her waist. The lanky girl adjusted her arm so her girlfriend could rest her head on her shoulder, and she could hug her closer, dissolving what little space there was between them. Their eyes closed, their breathing slowing down, and feeling each other's body heat were enough for them to go over to the land of dreams. But before that, she heard a small, sleepy voice.
"I love you, Sayaka." Yuu said, kissing her collar bone.
"I love you too."
Like a farewell and permission, they both succumb to sleep.
Sayaka thought she had prepared for everything for their first time. The restaurant, the words she needs to say, how to react at the miniscule chance that Yuu would reject her, the rings, her room if she accepts her on the spot, mental capacity to control her every move, patience, aftercare, the clothes, and then taking Yuu back home. What she had not foreseen was how Yuu would react in the next few days that they would see each other.
School went as usual. They will have the first student council meeting on Wednesday, but after talking to Touko, it seems like it will be a quick one. She wanted to surprise Yuu by saying that they might have time to swing by her house until she needed to go home.
But Yuu is a walking, raging hormone. Finally able to express the way she feels about Sayaka physically, she wanted to do it again as soon as possible. So, at Monday lunch, Sayaka is in for a surprise.
After taking the last bite of her meal, the brunette looks over at Yuu, who has her lunchbox already packed away. Touko didn't join them today but allowed them to use the student council room.
"You ate so fast."
The brown eyes gazed at her mouth and blushed.
"What?"
"I am waiting for you to finish eating."
"Why?"
No reply.
After drinking some water and putting the cap back on. Yuu stands up.
"Are you done?"
"Yes, do you need to go back immediately?" The senpai checks the wall clock. They still have a few minutes to spare.
There was no reply, but the kōhai took Sayaka's hand and urged her to stand up and follow her.
"Wait, how about our lunchboxes?"
But Yuu didn't seem to hear her.
She opened the file room door and led her inside. She closed it immediately and pushed Sayaka against the wall beside it. She grabs her face and goes on tiptoes to claim her lips. At first, the senpai was confused by these actions, but then it clicked in her head. Yuu made sure they would be in a place where no one could see them so she could kiss her how she wanted, accepting her rule of intimate, private kisses.
It also registered in her mind that this was only the second time they kissed standing up. She had leaned down when they were in the elevator. But today Yuu reached her by getting on her tiptoes. Her face was angled down, but even with that, she knew her girlfriend was straining herself.
She let go of the kiss. "Honey, we can take a chair from outside and sit d…" But she was pushed to the wall again. The first year pressed her body forward, molding into the older girl's figure. Yuu's hands found her waist as she kissed what little skin was exposed on Sayaka's neck. They both know they can't do it in school. But that didn't stop their bodies from warming up, and not just because summer is quickly approaching the file room with poor ventilation. Desires still peek through touches and swift glances. If she had known Yuu was waiting for her to finish eating, she would have gulped down her lunch. Not that that will fit the image she has been struggling to maintain with Yuu around.
A small hand found her breast, and the other one stayed on her waist, trying to keep her on the wall. The senpai could not react properly. While she is very aware that they are still on school grounds and that Yuu has never been the one to initiate physical contact while they are on the premises, much less be this aggressive, she is still torn about whether they should continue. She is flattered, of course. Being wanted like this, that her girlfriend will forgo her usual decorum. The hand on her waist goes lower. Her breath caught. When it reached the hem of her skirt, it touched her bare leg. Yuu pressed her harder on the wall, pulled away from her neck, and encouraged the taller girl to kiss her on the lips again. Sayaka bent down and captured the redhead's face with both hands. She's not sure where it's going, but a request to kiss from Yuu—there's no denying that.
The hand on her leg hikes up to her thigh and continues to move up until it changes direction and goes to her rear end. Now both of her assets are being fondled. A moan escapes. Yuu pressed on her yet again, but this time it's the hips that are pinning her to the wall. She can feel a different source of heat spreading across her lower abdomen. They can't. They know they can't. It had not been twenty-four hours since their last kiss, but Yuu seemed hungry for more. And knowing that they wouldn't kiss after school must have triggered this intense make-out session.
When they both heard the distant bell. It took all of Yuu's willpower to let go of Sayaka. Her eyes are still hungry. She opens the door and goes to the table to get their lunchboxes. She handed over the one for her senpai and proceeded to go to the door. Sayaka could only follow. No words were uttered as they walked back to the school building. Even when they separated at the stairs. She knows her girlfriend isn't satisfied. Not even a little bit. And she understands the frustration that comes with it.
Tuesday came. Touko joined them at lunch this time. Yuu had her chin resting on her folded arms on the table. Though they maintain casual conversations, Sayaka's shoe was nudge under the table. She was not prepared for the effect that simple action could have on her. A small movement that expresses the wish to be alone with her and that she's wanted. The shoe stayed in contact with hers until they needed to go back again.
"Yuu didn't talk much today. Did the two of you fight again?" Touko asked as they went back to their class.
"No, it's not like that. I won't let that happen again."
"Then what is it?"
"It's hard to explain. But we are okay. Don't worry."
Wednesday arrived. Their first student council meeting after the midterms. Touko told them that they could resume their usual activities next week and that she just wanted to congratulate everyone for doing well on their midterms. Except perhaps Doujima, who barely passed, but she didn't mention that. Maki then asks if they already have a script for the school festival play. But having combed the whole file room and researched online with the help of Sayaka, Touko still came up empty. She asks them if they know anyone who writes, and to everyone's surprise, Yuu says that she has a friend who recently started writing and has shared a novel for her to read. But she will need to ask her friend first if she would be willing to write a play for them. With that settled, Touko dismissed them.
"So," Sayaka started as they walked towards the school gate. "We got off student council early. Do you want to come over to my house?"
"You know the answer to that."
"I want to make sure. Don't want to seem too needy."
"I'm using every ounce of self-control I have left to resist the urge to jump on you right now."
Sayaka contemplated for a moment. It appears that Yuu was at least as sexually voracious as she was, if not more. The problem is that they don't have the time or opportunities to explore and satisfy each other. The last few days have been hard for them.
"This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to start this. We don't really have the freedom to just do what we want. It will be like torture again." She said this as they exited the gate.
"Oh, no, you won't hold out on me again. I'd rather have this frustration than not have that connection with you in the first place."
"Even if it's making us crazy?"
"Worth it."
"I am trying to find a solution. Do you think your parents will allow you to sleep over every Saturday after your shift at the bookstore? But we need to make sure your grades won't slide."
Yuu examines the pavement. "I can't do one week without you."
"I know, but there is no other option for us."
"I am sorry, Sayaka." There was a hint of desperation in her voice. "I can't get enough of you."
"I understand. I feel the same way."
"Can I hold your hand?" It was like she was pleading.
"Of course."
Hands sought each other without looking. She had never asked her that before. And they were still near the school at that point. Yuu yearns for her, and it touches her heart. 'She never ceases to amaze me.'
They reach the car. After Sayaka put their seatbelts on, Yuu took her hand again and periodically brought it up to her lips to kiss gently, her gaze fixed outside the window. A part of her expected that her girlfriend would straddle her as soon as they were inside the car. More so now that they already crossed that line. But the brown eyes stare blankly at the passing cars and buildings. 'A lot of firsts today, huh? What can I do to cheer her up?'
Thinking about the one thing that always moved her. "Hey, want to go to the music room when we arrive?"
"Oh, sure." Yuu uttered unenthused.
"That's not the reply I was hoping for." She teases.
"Sorry, I was distracted."
"Can you tell me?" she said with a light squeeze on the small hand.
"You might not like it."
"Now I really wanted to know." She said sarcastically, but her quips are not working on Yuu today.
"Uhm…" Yuu is staring at their hands now. "I feel like it's my fault that we don't have as much time with each other. You know, me working and not being out with my family. And my bedroom isn't really a place where we can stay freely without being disturbed. So, I feel bad that I am the one hindering our relationship from moving forward."
"You are right. I don't like that you are doing this to yourself." Sayaka turned her whole body to face Yuu and squeezed her hand again. "Yuu, every relationship has its ups and downs, remember? And the situation you are in is the reason you are you. I won't change it any other way. All of it led me to you. I could not be more grateful that I have you in my life. I would give or do anything just to get even a fraction of your attention. And you had been giving me all that you could, freely. We need to be patient. I know that's hypocritical of me to say since I already took your virtue at fifteen. But our time will come. We don't need to hurry. Sometimes it's the journey, right? Not the destination. And maybe by then you will be bored with me."
Yuu finally smiled.
"First, you didn't take my V-card. I gave it to you. Second, I'll never be bored with you. Everything you do is enticing to me. Third, if we did get bored, maybe we had run out of hormones. Fourth, thanks, I love you too." She leans closer, and they kiss. It wasn't those passionate, hungry kisses that they were used to. It's acceptance, close to contentment, if that were possible. "Now choose. We only have two or three hours at the most. Do you want to make out or play me a song and then make out?"
"There isn't an option without making out?"
"There is, but my mouth will be busy somewhere else."
"Whoa, where does this crude language come from?"
"What?"
"Don't act innocent. You know what I mean."
"I have no idea."
"Whatever." Sayaka rolled her eyes but was happy about the change of atmosphere. Yuu leaned in for another sweet kiss. 'This really is a day of firsts.'
Yuu's mood continued to pick up as they went upstairs.
"Hey, the music room is on the other side." Sayaka said as she was led to the hallway leading to her room.
"Can you play me a song some other day?"
"Oh, so now you have something you like more than me playing the piano."
"Versus having sex with you? No contest."
Sayaka looked around the hallway and thanked the stars that no one was there to hear that. The redhead opens the door and puts the do not disturb sign on the door. Which they have been using more and more every time they are in the room.
The door was closed, and Yuu immediately undid the red ribbon on her senpai's neck. Unzip her jumper and unbutton her shirt. "Hey wait..." All happening in seconds.
The kōhai did the same with her uniform. Then she let Sayaka's jumper fall to the floor, took off the shirt, and tossed the pieces of clothing on the couch, and soon the pair were only covered by their underwear. Yuu then grabs her face lower and kisses her passionately. While she walks backwards to the bathroom.
"Yuu, what…" but her mouth was claimed again.
A hand goes to her back to unclasp her bra. Straps were taken off haphazardly. The same hand undid her own bra. Sayaka marveled at these actions. But she didn't have time to enjoy them. The only time Yuu let go of her was to take off both of their underwear, but even that was done in seconds, and the green-eyed girl didn't even have a chance to be mortified. Yuu then led her to the shower and opened the water, and before her girlfriend could protest about the cold water, she was pushed against the wall. Lips conquered. The petite girl adjusted the water temperature without letting go.
Yuu did the same moves she did last Monday. Pushing Sayaka on the wall and touching her body. Now, without their clothes on, everything is more sensual. The hips that pin the long-limb girl were welcomed. The warm feelings were not thwarted. No thoughts about a bell that will ring. The temperature of the room is just right. No one will see them. No one will disturb them. They are inside their own bubble. It could have been perfect if Yuu wasn't rushing things. The liquid body wash was slathered chaotically at random places. When the small hand goes to the private part. Sayaka froze. She was being cleaned by another person. That had never happened since the day she learned how to do it by herself. And the way Yuu was doing it was sending spikes of desire all over her body.
Her lover foregoes shampoo and conditioner and turns off the water.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" the lanky girl asks as she is being dried by a towel.
No reply. They were barely dry when Yuu led them back to the bedroom. She was kissed again and urged to lay on the bed. Before she knew it, Yuu's face was between her legs. And before she could make a complaint about how fast everything was, she felt the tongue move over her. It wasn't really gentle, but it couldn't be categorized as rough either.
She had been down there before. On their first night, she refused to let Sayaka take the reins completely and was eager to mirror everything that her senpai did, like the first time they kissed. She was not skilled, but who was at their first time. The older girl had researched it thoroughly and experimented on her own. She was pleased that she was able to make her lover delirious several times that night, but even she has insecurities if she's doing it right. She concluded that Yuu wanted to return the favor. But something was different about what the younger girl is doing now. Her eyes are full of mischief. Sayaka's legs were held in place as the relentless dance continued. She could not remember what she was musing about or why she was mildly irritated at the beginning.
Her eyes are closed, her back is arching, and her breathing is getting caught. She wanted to move her hips, but they were pinned down. She then grabs a handful of the sheets and blankets on either side of her. The muscles in her back, abdomen, and thighs are tightening. Jumbled moans of pleasure. She took a pillow and hugged it tightly, trying to express her uncontrollable ecstasy. It took a couple more seconds until all the things that made sense in her remarkable brain disappeared. She bit down on the pillow, but a coherent gasp of her lover's name still ensued. The movement didn't recede, but it was gentler. When she collapsed and let go of the pillow, Yuu made a slow journey up to her. Giving soft kisses to her thighs and pelvis, she spent time on her stomach, putting a constellation there, then on her ribs. When she reaches the breasts, the nipples were sucked somewhat hard, crossing the line between pleasure and pain. Fortunately for Yuu, her senpai likes it that way. She lets go and goes to the neck, where she settles until Sayaka can comprehend and address what just happened.
She wanted to scold. She was set on that at the beginning. Everything happened so rapidly that she feels like she was not able to digest every movement, every smile, every gaze, and every twinkle of those lovely brown eyes. Yeah, she was set on scolding, even though that was the hardest she had ever come so far.
"Yuu"
The little girl leaps a bit at the tone of her voice. Like she was caught stealing some change from her mother's purse. Sayaka ignored that.
"That felt rushed."
Yuu pulled away from her neck to face her. "You didn't like it?" Her expression was nervous and pained.
"No, I enjoyed it, but it happened so quickly that I didn't get to savor it fully."
"Hmmn" she said, confused.
"Great things should be appreciated slowly and thoroughly. I need to teach you about patience."
"Huh?"
"You remember the safe word?"
"Wait, why? What did I do that was wrong?"
"You will know soon enough. Now answer the question."
"Sunset"
"You know how to use it, right?"
"I'm the one who brought it up, if you can remember."
"Cheeky rascal." She hissed. "Now I will also teach you about manners."
The older girl doesn't have the proper equipment for what she has in mind, so she improvised. She grabbed the pillow she had bitten earlier and took off the pillowcase.
"Lay down on your back." She commanded with a clear, authoritative voice.
Yuu's eyes widen. A mix of confusion and excitement. She complied.
"Lift both your hands up towards the headboard." Eyes follow Sayaka's every movement. She enjoyed it.
The small hands were put together. The pillowcase was tied by the wrists. It wasn't tight. Yuu could easily take it off if she wanted to. Then another pillowcase was taken from a pillow, and Sayaka looped it to a headboard slot and to the gap between the wrists, making a disjointed figure eight. She tests the snugness to make sure that her girlfriend is safe and comfortable.
"Is that okay?"
"I-it's f-fine." Yuu was breathing erratically.
"Honey, we haven't started yet. Try to calm down."
With the hands bound, she gets up from the bed.
"Where are you going?" Her voice is slightly panicky.
"My love, please relax. I will not leave you." She bends down to kiss her forehead. "I just need to take something from the closet, okay?"
Yuu nodded.
Sayaka has a lot of sleep masks for long travels. Especially on a plane to Italy. She took one and a handkerchief as backup. She walks out of the closet and makes her way to the bed. But the moment she saw Yuu on the bed, she was enthralled. Her petite girlfriend isn't curvy. She is angular, which is absolutely appealing in Sayaka's eyes. With her hands bound to the headboard, her ribs are more prominent, and her abs stick out more with every breath. Slender arms and shoulders. Muscle lines are noticeable. When the brown eyes felt her staring. Her lips turned into a naughty grin as she surveyed the awestruck expression on the brunette's face.
"Do you still want to teach me a lesson, senpai?" she snickered.
"You are in for a world of trouble."
