The next morning

Bradley started to wake up ever so slightly around 7am. She blinked her eyes open, feeling sick, embarrassed, and exhausted. She began to move her body out of the bed when she felt an arm around her waist resting gently on her stomach. She looked down to see her fingers intertwined with long perfectly manicured nails.

Laura.

Bradley had a moment of calm before she began to panic, she was about to turn herself around to see if it was truly Laura spooning her. When she heard a yawn from behind her. She didn't need to turn any longer, she knew who it was. She heard that yawn for months, she could pick it out of a group of 100 or 1000. She looked down at Laura's hand linked with her own and wanted to never let it go. She held it tighter and pulled it in towards her chest.

"Please don't move Laura, please don't say anything. Can we just be here. I don't deserve to ask you for anything, but can you just give me this. Please?"

Laura woke up hearing Bradley's plea, repositioned herself, pulling herself towards Bradley and resting her head on the top of her shoulder.

Bradley took that as an okay. She relaxed into their hug; Bradley preferred being the big spoon but right then it felt as though this is how their bodies were always meant to be. They fit together. Both women slept with one leg up and bent, the bottom leg out straight. Laura moved one of her legs up and tilted her hips so that her leg was lying across Bradleys.

They lay together for what seemed like both a lifetime and 5 minutes.

Laura finally broke the silence, pulling her arms from Bradley and turning to face out from the bed.

"You can spoon me now; I've been doing it for hours."

Bradley couldn't believe this was happening, when she felt Laura pull away, she thought she was leaving, she could feel her heart shatter into pieces. More than it already was. She turned her body and assumed the position she knew so well, hugging into Laura's back, with Laura's bum sitting gently in her lap, her arm under Laura's pillow, and the other resting gently on her waist, while her hand sat on Laura's stomach.

Laura felt a twinge of electrical energy as Bradley pulled her T-shirt up slightly and she left her arm graze against her stomach. Laura closer her eyes taking in the moment, feeling her strong warm hand pressed against her.

After a moment, Laura whispered "I love you, but I don't forgive you."

Laura felt as Bradley pulled her closer, knowing why and letting Bradley live in this moment a while longer.

Bradley didn't want to reply, she didn't know what to say. She felt like this moment, would be/probably was the last time she would hold Laura, she so chose to enjoy it. And freeze out the negativity trying to creep into her mind.

…

"Oh I have something you might want to watch. Here."

Laura said as she stretched across to the nightstand, picked up her phone and places it in Bradley's hand that was on her stomach.

Bradley took the phone, turned onto her back and typed in Laura's passcode, and pressed play on the video that was already loaded.

…

Bradley watched and listened to her drunken ramblings. She watched as she broke down and the video ended. Bradley felt so ashamed that Laura has seen her in such a state, she couldn't bear to look her in the eye.

"You never talk that openly with me." Laura said with a twinge of jealousy and hurt.

"I'm sorry you saw that, is that why you are here? Did Alex make you come here?"

"I'm not sorry I saw that, it felt good to see how you feel about me. It's hard for you to open up to me. But why are you okay talking about how you feel with someone else?"

Bradley rested her head against Laura's back, took a deep breath. She was about to start talking when Laura started to speak:

"I want to know you. All of you Bradley."

"I am so embarrassed that you saw that, I am going to kill Alex. But then again, if that video is the reason I have you in my arms right now then I'm okay with it. I don't always make the best decisions. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I've never told you that before, but I was scared every day that you would see that I'm a trainwreck. And you would give up on me and leave me."

Laura pulled herself from Bradley's embrace. Sat up against the backboard, looked down at Bradley as she spoke:

"We broke up not because you talked to me about how you feel, or how I make you feel, but because you were dishonest with me, with yourself and with the rest of the world. I know you. At least I think I do. You have morals, you have values, but when it comes to your brother. It's like it all goes away because you just don't want to lose him. In the process you pushed me away and let him walk all over you. I couldn't watch you justify his actions. I just couldn't watch you be that person anymore."

Bradley listened as Laura spoke, she pushed her face into her pillow and let her eyes fill with tears. She sobbed silently. When Laura noticed Bradley cry, she pulled her up to a sitting position and pulled her in for a hug, Laura rested her head on Bradley's shoulder and closed her eyes while listening to Bradley sob.

Bradley held onto Laura, while she cried.

"I am sorry Laura, I failed you, I failed myself. I am so sorry."

"Right now I want you to honest with me Bradley, why do you love me?"

"I love you because of the way you follow along with the scripts you read before you go on air, I love you because of how welcoming you were to me but also to everyone around you. I love that you have your shit together, I love your strength but how you are comfortable being vulnerable. I love that you talk in your sleep. I love so many things about you."

Bradley held Laura's eyes as she listed of her reasons for being in love with this woman.

"I love the way you look at me, like right now, your eyes are piercing, it's hard to not just open myself up to you every second of the day. I love how protective of me you are; I love that despite being one of the most stubborn people in the world, you went and spoke with my brother about wanting to make me happy."

Laura blinked her eyes as tears fell down her checks, Bradley reached up and wiped them away with her hand. Just as her hand touched Laura's face, they locked eyes again and Laura moved her hand to sit across Bradley's hand while it rested gently on her face. Laura inhaled deeply and closer her eyes while new tears continued to form.

Laura opened her eyes and stared directly into Bradley's eyes. Her eyes looked worried, pained, and tired. Laura inhaled and then gave into her heart.

She reached across to Bradley and kissed her on the lips. She pulled her in closer, with her hand behind Bradley's head. They both pulled themselves up, so they were face to face, on their knees wrapped up in one another. Laura had only ever felt this kind of love, this passion, lust, intensity with Bradley.

It scared her with everything in her heart, but in this moment she needed to be close with her. She needed that connection they both craved.

One of Laura's hands was rested gently on the small of Bradley's back. She kept it there to make sure Bradley's body was as close to hers as possible. Bradley wrapped her arms around Laura's neck, hoping that she would never have to let go.

Their lips pulled apart; Bradley's eyes were full of tears. Bradley never wanted this moment to end. She knew in her heart that this didn't mean they were back together, but Bradley thought that if this was all she was ever going to have of Laura. If this was the last time, she would be connected or intimate with Laura, she had to make the most of it and take all she could.

Laura put both of her hands on either side of Bradley's face and moved in deeply as she put her tongue inside her mouth, she didn't let Bradley bring hers to meet, she then pulled it out and licked Bradleys lips. She licked her lips continuously, while hearing Bradley moan loudly as Laura wasn't letting Bradley kiss her back.

Laura held Bradley at the back of her head, at her neck, as she moved her mouth lower, and lower down Bradley's neck. Bradley moaned as Laura began to bite, lick, and suck her neck.

Bradley couldn't take much more of this, she pulled Laura back up to her mouth as their tongues touched. Bradley pulled Laura's T-shift off, then unclipped her bra.

Bradley looked at Laura's breasts, no matter how many times she had seen her breasts she couldn't get enough of them. Bradley pulled Laura close keeping one of her hands on Laura's stomach, while using the other to touch Laura's nipples.

Bradley slowly moved her hand down her stomach, she watch Laura for a reaction. As Bradley slip her hand inside Laura's underwear, she watched as Laura tilted her head up and pit hard down on her lips.

Bradley tried to move down to a seated position to focus on Laura's pleasure, but Laura pulled Bradley back, so they were face to face. She pulled Bradley's sweatshirt over her head, she kissed her neck passionately. Laura listened to Bradley moan again as she bit her neck and sucked it.

Laura moved one of her hands down to Bradley's underwear, pushed it through and instantly felt the heat radiating from Bradley. She pushed her fingers further to explore. Laura felt herself grow wetter, and she felt the ocean of Bradley's hot scent move over her fingers. She lathered her fingers in the wetness then pushed two fingers inside of Bradley.

Bradley jerked in pleasure as she left Laura's fingers move deeper, faster and harder inside her. Bradley tried to focus, and put her hand back inside of Laura's underwear, she went straight for Laura's clit. Knowing she came best from external stimulation. She rubbed her fingers slowly but hard against Laura. With each motion she could hear Laura exhale and shake, she felt as Laura became wetter and wetter.

As they were on their knees, they began to move their hips against one another together, as they closed their eyes, and moaned aloud. Bradley took her free hand placed it around Laura's waist, as they moved together as one. Laura moved to kiss Bradley again, while she held out her tongue. Bradley watched Laura's expression as she licked her tongue, Bradley then sucked it into her mouth as they both continued to move.

Laura thrusted her hips into Bradley as they continued to make love, Laura couldn't keep her eyes off of Bradley as they continued to tease one another with their tongues. Laura continued to push her fingers deep inside of Bradley, she bent them outwards towards where she knew Bradley's G-Spot was.

As Bradley's breathing quickened, and her moans became louder, she knew Bradley was close, so she put her thumb on top of her clit. She began to rub her clit quickly, and she felt Bradley's fingers scratch her back, while her other hand quickened its rhythm, while putting greater pressure on her clit. Both women were close to completion. Laura pulled at Bradley's hair so they were locked eyes.

Laura stared into Bradley's eye, and moaned out "Harder!"

Bradley did as she was instructed putting deeper pressure on Laura, she could see it working as Laura's eyebrows frowned. Laura pulled Bradley closer to her so their heads were rested against one another. They both stared longingly into each other eye's, as they fucked each other harder. Until Laura gave in and let out a moan, while trying to maintain eye contact with Bradley.

As Bradley watched Laura climax she couldn't help herself but come, quickly and loudly seconds behind her. Their bodies grinded together as both women reached the pinnacle of pleasure.
