Becky's POV
December 26th, 2019, early afternoon
Now that Christmas is over, everything can slowly start returning to normal. Richie and Pops have left, and Mum went back to work. I don't have to deal with family ordeals and pretending to be the perfect baby girl of the family. Now I'm heading over to Daisy's house to hang out with her and Toni, Charbar is also going to be heading over. It's so nice that my bestie is becoming good friends with the brunette. It can only aid our current predicament until being able to reveal our friends with benefits situation. I guess that's the closest thing to describing what we are. The chances of us getting alone time are slim to none, Toni's going to be nestled up to Daisy most likely. My bestie thinks I'm attracted to the blonde Australian bombshell and will probably attempt to hook us up. Lord, she means well. My phone started ringing and looking at the caller ID on the Bluetooth, I couldn't help but smile big. She always knows whenever I'm thinking about her, hm. Well, she's constantly on my mind; I can't turn it off even if I wanted too. I accepted the call. "Hey Lass, I'm on my way to you now."
"Okay great, is Charlotte with you?" She asked, knowing exactly why she was doing so.
"No, I'm heading over by myself. Charlotte said she'd get a ride over." I didn't even need to see that gorgeous face to know she's smiling wide at the answer. "Is Toni with you right now?"
"She's in the kitchen, I believe she said something about baking a cake for us. It's hard telling because last time I checked, Toni was dancing around in the kitchen." I barely know the Heyman Hustle Girl, but I can see her doing just that. She seems full of excitement and energy.
"Hm? So, you couldn't wait until I arrived to hear my voice?" I questioned with a slight purr.
"Never. It's been hard enough going for the number of days I have so far." Daisy responded, with a small little whine. I understand the feeling, it's definitely mutual. God, I'm such a sap, I can't believe I'm this 'down bad for her' as Mercedes would say. I can't help Daisy makes me feel this way, all mushy and lovey dovey. Stuff that would normally make me gag. "Once again, I'm sorry that I did manage to put a damper on our original plans." She continued apologetically, yeah, it was a little rough hearing the news at first, but the brunette explained the situation and I couldn't help but be sympathetic for Storm.
"Lass, you are doing the right thing. I'd be more upset if you left your friend, especially with how good of a friend she's been." From my understanding of Daisy's life and what Celeste has told me, the personal trainer was Daisy's first friend and now supposedly because of meeting me, it's making her realize she's had friends around her the entire time. Toni has been staying by the brunette's side since the roofie incident. Granted, I know the blonde is attracted to Daisy, it's very obvious. But I don't believe that is the reasoning behind her friendship. She genuinely cares and the brunette is showing compassion and empathy for the situation given to them both. "I'm sure we will find a way to have some alone time."
"Mhmm. I hope so." She purred, which caused my core to tremble. Damn it, don't start with me now. She exhaled a small sigh. "During the time with my moms, I did manage to open up to Toni a good bit. I want to think that I can trust her, so I told her the truth about the arranged marriage bullshit and that I'm gay."
I'm glad she can trust someone else that much to be able to open up like that. Besides her family, Kait and April, now Toni knows the truth about the whole thing. "Wow, I'm glad that you are able to talk about that. How did she take it?"
"Super duper supportive, I didn't know why I was so scared to begin with."
"Does Toni know about us?" I asked, if the Heyman Hustle Girl knows about our history, that could cause some unwanted tension between the three of us. I'm not sure how likely that's going to be.
"Um, I really thought about telling her, but I didn't have your permission to reveal that." Okay that's really considerate of her, I wouldn't have minded if she went through with it. Daisy really does trust the blonde model. I'll put my trust in her as well.
"Do you want to tell her about us?" That's the most important question at the moment, I wouldn't want to pressure her into something that the brunette might not be comfortable with. There are many different outcomes that could take place whenever revealing our secret.
"I mean.. I already feel enough guilt about lying to all of my friends. I'm not sure." Her voice trying to hide the somber tone starting to surface. It's unbearably hard to mask your true self around a majority of people, that's something I understand all too well. Thankfully a majority of my friends know about my sexuality and will keep it a secret. Daisy has so much to lose, everything is at stake with her. Am I worth that?
"I think it's a good possibility to consider. If Toni knows, there wouldn't be any need to tiptoe and sneak around with her."
"That's really smart. If I talk to her, I know that she'll keep it a secret." Good, that managed to brighten her mood some. Having one of us talk to the blonde Hustle Girl now would be the best choice. The sooner the better but which one of us is going to have the better chance of a positive result?
"We will cross that bridge whenever we get there. I'm almost there, okay Lass."
"Oh, I'll be waiting because I'm going to need to steal a kiss before Charlotte arrives. I'll see you shortly." She cooed, causing my heart to thump in my chest a few times. Damn it, I'm going to need that kiss too because the chances of us getting any alone time is slim to none. It's been almost a week since the last time that I was able to see her, to kiss her or to even hug her. Time works in funny ways because it feels longer than that.
"I'll need one too. See you shortly." With a short farewell, the brunette ended the call as I focused on the traffic in front of me and not imagining her gorgeous face. I'll get to see her soon. The number of times I've gone over to her place, the route has practically been memorized. If everything goes nicely in regard to Storm if we decide to talk to her, I'm not going home tonight.
After another seven minutes of driving, I finally made it to the opened gate of Daisy and Kaitlyn's place. Pulling down into the driveway, I noticed a silver Nissan Skyline in the driveway which I assume is Toni's car. Weird, for some reason, I was expecting her to have an old convertible from the 70's or something. Grabbing my phone and turning off the car, I stepped out and shut the door. No sooner did I do that, the front door opened. "There you are, Rebecca!"
The excitement in her voice made my body turn to mush, I heard the sound of her heels approaching me. "Hey D-" Before I managed to even speak her name, I felt her hands grab the side of my face and her lips crashed into mine hungrily. My breath was immediately taken away by a sweet Goddess, who managed to also secure my heart. Every time we kiss, it feels completely different in the best way possible. At first, I was completely stunned by the sudden action of affection but now, I'm eagerly returning the kiss with as much gusto as possible. Her hands moved slowly down my shoulders and my arms; they gripped onto my waist. Our lips continued to move against each other sensually as one of my hands cupped her cheek and the other tangled into her beautiful and voluminous locks. A muffled moan escaped the brunette, and my core was starting to heat up. Fuck, I love her noises. We have to stop because other people are going to be here. Reluctantly I broke the kiss between us, releasing soft pants as I managed to speak. "Holy shit, you weren't kidding."
"You are very hard to resist." She cooed huskily, slowly removing her hips away from my hips.
Now that I am not getting ambushed, I'm finally able to take a look at the beauty before me. Her hair was always naturally curly but there was much more volume to them this time. The curls were wispy flowing around from her face, it's like the wind was always blowing them. It reminded me of something old-school and with how thick and beautiful her hair is. She can make those kinds of looks work. "Wow, you are rocking those curls." Daisy was nestled in a beige, long-sleeved cardigan and a pair of black leggings. Even something so casual, I'm still stunned by her.
"Thank you, Toni got a hold of my hair products and has been playing with my makeup vanity. I'm kind of digging it. She said about Greta Garbo and that I could rock her look." I have no idea who the hell Greta is but I'm going to believe that Storm did an amazing job with her little makeover.
"God Babygirl, come on, let's get inside before Charbar shows up." Realizing that we aren't going to be alone at this house, I sighed as I followed behind the model every step of the way into her house. Have I ever mentioned how much I love following behind her? She's a sight to behold on both sides.
"Toni, Rebecca's here!"
There was this intoxicating aroma that filled my nostrils, and it was a mixture of scents. I was smelling chocolate, apples and maybe oranges. We turned into the kitchen as the Australian woman immediately turned to face us. Her green eyes shining brightly as she approached. "Ah! Hello Rebecca Darling! I'm so glad that you were able to make it."
I didn't even get the chance to respond to her as the older blonde woman pulled me into a hug. The embrace lasted a couple seconds and I didn't even return the ambushed display of affection. Storm's wearing one of those old-school diner aprons. It goes down to about mid-thigh, black with white polka dots and it has pink frills on the bottom and a giant, pink bow on the waist. Underneath, looked to be a pair of black booty shorts and a matching tank top. I guess if I was at the oven a lot, I wouldn't want to be wearing heavy clothing. "Thank you, Toni, what's the smell? It smells amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment, Darling, I adore baking, and I thought that I would make some desserts for our gal time." The oven was still on so she must be making another dessert. If I knew she was going to do something like this, I would have brought something for us. "There is a chocolate creme pie right here and in the oven is an Apple-Walnut cake with an orange glaze." Oh, both of those sound really good, not going to lie. I fought back a chuckle as I watched the brunette walk over to the counter beside where the cake was, eying it hungrily. She went to reach down to scoop some of the whipped cream with her finger, but her hand was immediately swatted at. Daisy yelped; the blonde shook her head. "Darling, cease that at once, you must wait for Lady Charlotte, I already let you lick the spoon."
"But it tasted so good, and I'm hungry." Mero whined cutely over to the blonde model, who stared at her with an amused look on her face.
Toni shook her head with a smile, reaching over and grabbing a snap lock container. She popped the green lid off and handed the tupperware over to Daisy. "Here Darling, there are still cookies from last night. Sweetheart, snack on these but share them with Rebecca." Sweetheart..?
Daisy let out a content hum as she turned over to me while grabbing two cookies out of the container. She took a nibble out of the cookie and gave a small bounce of excitement."Mhmm, here Rebecca, she made these for us yesterday, they are even cut into little hearts. Try one." Am I going to ignore the fact that the blonde bombshell is constantly making sweet treats for Daisy? I mean it could honestly be her hobby and since she's staying here, Toni makes them for the brunette hosting her. But I think it's a subtle way of revealing her feelings to Daisy and the brunette is clueless. As long as I guess she doesn't get too handsy or kiss her, there won't be a problem. "They are oatmeal raisin cookies with some colored sugar on top."
The blonde went back to cutting the pie that was already laid out on the counter. She was humming some sort of song in her head. Daisy went back to snacking on the cookies in the tupperware and she waited for me to take a bite out of the cookie. Whenever I did just that, a whirlwind of magical flavors entered my taste buds. For something that was simple to make, I can feel the amount of love that went into making these. "Wow! These are spectacular."
"You're too kind and looking lovely today, Rebecca!"
"You know, you can call me Becky, I prefer that to Rebecca." I informed Toni, who only cocked her head to the right almost like she was baffled at my statement.
"Oh, apologies Becky, I only assumed that name was for close friends." Wow, I'll admit that it's hot to hear her say my name.
"I mean, you both are my friends. Rebecca's too formal."
"It'll take some time to adjust but I shall make the effort to not address you so formally." The blonde respected my wishes, Rebecca always sounds like I'm in trouble. Hell, my boss doesn't even call me that or any of my co-workers. The only one that I really enjoy hearing it out of is Daisy; I don't remember her ever calling me Becky or Becks but only a handful of times. Toni closed the oven back over again and set the pan with the cake on the counter to start cooling off. The blonde turned back to us. "Becky dear, were you able to enjoy your Christmas? I hope you were able to spend it with your friends and family."
Christmas was about the same every year, except thankfully with less family members. Mum once again complained that I wasn't amounting to anything staying at that bar. Pops defended me to a degree about it, that I am still young and figuring out my purpose in life. I'm not sure what I want to do but I do know who I want to do. …Okay that was bad. My brother, Richie, tried to talk me into going out with one of his buddies. Another year of me pretending to be something I'm not. Why do I do this to myself? Who knows. "Yeah, I was. What about you, did you have a great Christmas?"
Taking off the oven mitts and tossing them onto the kitchen counter, the blonde reached over and wrapped her arms around Daisy's. Toni smiled so big at her. "Ah yes! My original plans fell through but luckily Daisy Darling allowed me to accompany her to see her lovely family. Darling and I came back home here and yesterday we spent a majority of the day with the Heyman family." Part of me really wishes that I could have gone along with the brunette to Los Angeles but that would be a little much, huh? We aren't even dating yet. I'd rather be anywhere else than with my own family. Paul Heyman really seemed like a nice man; he cares so deeply for Daisy. She told me that he's the closest thing to a father figure she has now. But that's not her father, she hasn't mentioned him since I pointed out the photo in the study. Did he abandon them? Did her cunt of a mother drive him away? It's not my place to ask.
The sound of the doorbell rang out as the brunette model was released by Toni. "I'll get it." She started making her way over toward the foyer. I hope that's Charbar, I haven't seen my bestie in person for a few days.
"Whenever Daisy was done running some errands, we were able to nestle up on the couch and we watched one of my favorite movies." The excitement in her voice was starting to make me jealous again. Toni's done nothing wrong but yet, here I am, jealous about a friend. Daisy doesn't even realize that Storm's attracted her, all the signs are there. She might have tried to cuddle and make moves on her last night. I'd hope not.
"That sounds amazing. I'm glad you both had a great Christmas too." Because of the whole roofied drink drama, Storm's original plans had been blue balled last second. I'm glad that Daisy stepped up and wanted to be her company. I wouldn't want to think that Toni had some scheme to be all sad and depressed to nestle herself closer to Daisy. She wouldn't, right? The Australian woman acts to genuinely care about Mero. I'm overthinking countless scenarios in my head. I liked the first option better; Daisy is oblivious, and Toni is clueless to the truth.
Footsteps approached and I spun around to see my bestie walking into the living area with Daisy following close behind. "Charbar, it's about time you showed up!" I couldn't help but hug her. God, it feels weird that a majority of my closest friends are gone, and the other one is always so busy.
"Hey Becks and hey Toni!" My bestie exclaimed with excitement, returning the hug before her attention went to Storm and the kitchen. "Woah, what's that smell?!"
"Dessert to go with our drinks, Lady Charlotte. It should be ready momentarily." Apparently, I didn't know I was hungry for actual food until I walked into the temporary home of a baker. Have I eaten today? The Australian woman turned her attention back over to Daisy. "Darling, care to retrieve the glasses from the cupboard and select our beverage of choice for me please?" She asked ever so sweetly while reaching into the cupboard and grabbing four plates for us.
"Yeah, I can do that."
"What would you like us to do?" Char asked, wanting to be of some help to the women that are hosting us today. I'd most likely do anything that woman asks of me because I know that the reward would be sweet and savory and not a treat to be shared.
Daisy was the one that turned back to answer our question as Toni was already super distracted with preparing our lovely desserts on the plates. "Nothing, you ladies are our guests. Go sit and relax in the living room. Would you ladies like some water, some wine, what is your preference?"
I'd like to protest and help out anyway, but I feel like it would be two against one here. Okay, I'm going to sit on the couch and patiently await the dessert that is making my stomach rumble. I grabbed Char's hand and led her into the living room with me. I sat down on the couch and Charlotte opted to go over to the loveseat. Well fuck you too then bestie, I mentally laughed. She's hoping Toni will sit beside me, but I have a feeling that the brunette model will. "I'll have some wine and if you ladies want something a little spicier. I have some fireball in my purse."
"I'm not surprised." I fought the urge to roll my eyes at my best friend bringing more alcohol to a casual hangout. It's not like the beautiful brunette staring at me awaiting my answer doesn't have plenty here at her home. "I'll be alright with some water for now, Daisy, thank you."
Daisy nodded with a smile, her attention going over to the Flair woman and then down to Char's purse. "Is it the same kind that we had last time? If so, then the answer is going to be yes." God lord, how are they both such alcoholics? The brunette drinks to block out emotions, that's what I gathered, and Charlotte is a Flair, that's her reason. My best friend only smirked over to Daisy, who gave a pleased grin in return. "You're my favorite Flair. You already know me so well." Apparently these two have gotten along since the first time they started working together and now Mero is going to be working with the Flair's more often as THE model representing Flair Corp.
Daisy made her way back into the kitchen, joining Toni once again. She grabbed a bigger glass for my water instead of a small wine glass. I don't want to drink too much and accidentally say something that I am not supposed to say. Hunter closed down the bar for tonight as well so that we didn't have to rush our family time or have traveling issues. He really is the best boss. The leader of the HHG opened the fridge and pulled out a wine bottle. "Let's refrain from the heavier stuff until later. It wouldn't be ideal to have an upset stomach." The blonde beside her spoke in an almost nurturing tone.
"She's right." I agreed with Storm, I've seen how much she can drink firsthand. I thought Charbar and Mercedes were bad. With everything in her life, I don't blame her but it's not healthy.
Daisy looked over to me with her bottom lip curled into a small pout and then over to Char, who shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly like she isn't the other big alcoholic in the room. The Kiwi blonde reached over and pinched Daisy's cheek, making the brunette look back her way. I heard Mero emit a little yelp in retort to the action. "Of course, considering how much you drink Darling, I'd prefer if you actually ate before partaking in heavy consumption of said fireball." I'm glad someone other than Kait is looking out for her whenever I'm not around. I can't force the brunette to stop drinking but I do wish she would settle down even if it's just a tad. Daisy rubbed the back of her head and grabbed my glass of water and Charlotte's glass of wine. She sat them in front of us and walked back to retrieve her own glass. Toni walked over with a plate in each hand and a big smile plastered on her face. "Here you are ladies, my Apple-Walnut cake with orange glaze and chocolate creme pie. I hope no one is allergic to nuts."
"Thank you, Toni." The blonde model placed my plate down in front of me and walked a couple steps around the coffee table to hand Char her food as well. This all looks amazing; I don't know exactly where to start but I guess I'll save the cake for last. "Becks is."
I didn't even get a forkful of pie, but my best friend decided to say something stupid. Why is she like this? "I am not! You're an asshole."
"What, the opportunity was there." Really bitch? That's your reasoning.
Toni let out a small gasp as the blonde turned back around to face me. Her lips were curled into a pout and her brow was lowered. She looked upset about what Charlotte had said. "Oh my, I'm so sorry. Should I prepare something else for you, Becky dear?" Oh, you poor thing, look what you did, jackass. Even if I was allergic, I would not allow her to bake something else for me. She's done more than enough.
"No no, Toni, please sit and relax! Thank you so much for the food. I'm not allergic, it's my best friend making a stupid joke." I explained the situation and it was around this point that Daisy had decided to join us in the living room, with her own plate and wine glass. She handed Toni's plate over to her. Like I wanted, the brunette sat on the middle cushion of the couch and Storm sat to her left.
Toni still looked a little perplexed by the conversation, her green eyes were shifting between myself and Charbar. She tucked her hand underneath her chin and maybe Daisy was in her own little world eating the cake, like she hasn't had a meal today. Relatable. "I'm not sure that I understand what the context is behind... Oh! I understand now, you are more of a cake or cookie connoisseur whenever it comes to desserts."
"Uh.. yeah." I guess that's one way of putting it that I only eat pussy.
"Hm? What are we talking about?" The gorgeous woman sitting next to me asked with confusion laced in her voice. She looked between Toni and I while Charlotte was chuckling away lounging in the loveseat and enjoying the desserts.
"Darling, have a napkin." The Kiwi blonde cooed, playfully tossing the napkin into Daisy's face before grabbing onto it again. "You're so messy. Do you even taste my treats?" She sassed, reaching over to dab the napkin onto the brunette's cheek to wipe away the crumbles and little drops of orange gaze.
Okay, ignore the subtle flirting and continue with the conversation at hand. It means nothing. It's not like Toni is doing it to spite me; it's because she adores Daisy. Get in line. "That I'm a lesbian and Charlotte had to make a joke that a five-year-old would make." I said with fake venom in my voice, glaring over my bestie.
Both Storm and Daisy casually sipped on their wine as Charlotte growled back. "Oh, bite me!"
"No, that's something that Andrade should be doing." I didn't even look back over to her for a reaction and instead opted to take the first bite of the pie. The blonde has been all drooly and obsessed with him ever since she first laid eyes on him. Yeah, I know that she meets with him a couple times a week at the gym. Other than that, I don't know if Char has even tried to flirt with him or not. Oh, my fucking god, this pie is so good; it almost has me kicking my feet like a little kid. It's like chocolate heaven.
"I-" Charbar started to speak whenever my attention went back to her as I hummed. I fought back a laugh as Charlotte stared back at me with wide eyes. She grumbled angrily to herself, trying to hide how red she was getting at my simple statement. BayBay and her make this teasing so easy. "I'm going to kick your ass."
Ignoring her empty threats, I went back to eating as Toni set her glass onto the coffee table. "This Andrade fellow, Lady Charlotte, have you still not asked him out yet?" She inquired before going back to feasting on her wonderful treats.
Charlotte was starting to fidget around her in seat for a second before nervously answering. "Um.. I wanted to but umm.. He's down in Mexico with his family until the weekend." I really don't know why my bestie is so nervous. She's a catch. She's gorgeous, she's intelligent. The blonde is already a successful enough businesswoman, and Charlotte hasn't even finished college yet. She's one of the heirs to Flair Corp. Any man would be lucky for her to even glance their way and yet, the blonde is the one that's blushing and nervous. It's pretty cute though.
"You should invite him to our New Year's Eve party, Charbar. Get you a little kiss to celebrate the new year." I suggested, knowing how it's going to get under her skin that I keep teasing her. Every year, my bestie loves to gather some friends together for a party to break in the new year. This year would be no different but maybe this time, a few of us might be able to have a kiss to start 2020 out with a bang. Maybe even literally if I am lucky enough. I chuckled softly at my own stupid joke.
"Aw, that would be absolute perfection!" Storm agreed, something tells me that the blonde model might be a hopeless romantic and there's nothing wrong with that.
"Would you ladies like to join us?" Dear lord, I'd love for the brunette to come to the party because she's who I want to kiss but there are three obstacles standing in my way. One of them would be a little shorter than me with vibrant purple hair and a nonexistent filter that makes me wonder how she doesn't have restraining orders against her. If any of the HHG show up, especially these two; Mercedes isn't going to leave them alone. Bayley can only keep her at bay for so long and if Saraya comes too. Poor Bayley. "Daisy, you could bring Randy, so you aren't left out." Well, there is the second obstacle, her supposed future hubby. Orton does know about us and Daisy apparently talks to him a good bit about me. Knowing that makes me mushy inside too, he seems like such a bro about it. I know they have to keep up their public image, but I think he might let us sneak away for a bit.
"I'll have to see if he's busy." She said nonchalantly, taking another sip out of her wine glass. "I'm down to party though." Oh, I know Babygirl, you are almost as much of a party animal as Mercedes. I'll have to do whatever I can to keep the horny beasts away from her.
"I would also love to participate in the festivities!" Alright, obstacle number three would be the blonde bombshell sitting next to the HHG leader. Since I'm not supposed to know the secret between Daisy and Randy's relationship, I'm wondering if she would continue to try and make subtle advances at the party.
"Good, so if I bring Andrade and if Daisy brings Randy, who are the two of you going to bring?" Why do we have to all bring dates? This would also depend on how many people are going to be invited to said party. The longer I thought about the possibility of a majority of the Heyman Hustle Girls being there, I realized what the objective of the question was. Son of a bitch...
"Hmm, that is a good question." The Australian woman crossed her leg over the other and looked to be thinking about her plus one for this party.
"Why don't you go with Becks, Toni? I'm sure she'd be great company." And there it is, Charlotte and her masterplan to try to get me to date the WRONG Heyman Hustle Girl. She means, I love my best friend but her gaydar is very ineffective. Just because Daisy supposedly has a man and 'is straight' doesn't mean I couldn't be attracted to her also. "You'd be able to get to know each other better."
"Charlotte, I know what you are doing. Stop it." I want to smack the shit out of her but she's too far away from me at the moment. The blonde looked at me innocently while taking another bite of her cake. Daisy arched her brow, her mouth full of cake as her gaze alternating between me and the Flair woman.
The blonde model sitting next to Daisy, was curiously looking over to me. Was she studying my reaction or something? She clapped her hands together excitedly, bouncing in the shared seat. "Mm, Rebecca dear, I do like the idea of us getting to know each other better." I didn't even have to look over to Charbar to know that her dumbass is probably smirking knowing that her master plan is coming together. I wouldn't be against taking the time to get to know Storm better, but this would in no way be a date.
"What if Orton is too busy to attend the party? Who would I go with then?" The brunette questioned; her tone was slightly different from before. Did I detect a small amount of jealousy in her voice? Thinking for even a second that she would be jealous of me going with a different woman, it made my heart thump a few times in my chest.
"I'll go with you." I realized that I immediately voiced my desire to go with her. Shit. But the other thing I noticed straight away was that I wasn't the only one who spoke. I turned to look over at the blonde bombshell that was sitting next to Daisy and had also spoken up.
Toni's lips parted whenever our eyes locked together. Do I even bother trying to justify my reasoning for offering to accompany the leader of the HHG? I mean the three of us could go as a trio instead of branching off in pairs. Although that would mean that I would have no time alone with her during said party either. Toni started to laugh. "Daisy Darling is pretty popular, let's cross that bridge if it were to appear." She cooed, leaning herself against Daisy for a brief second which made the taller woman glance over at the blonde. There was a little bit of small talk in between the remaining bites of our sweet afternoon snack but it mainly was revolving around Christmas time. Not going to lie, I might see if I can take some more of this home with me or I wonder if Toni will tell me the recipe for both of them. I've never had an Apple-Walnut cake before but now I know what I am missing out on. Storm stood to her feet and noticed that we were all done with their plates, she grabbed them. "Why don't you ladies go relax in the Lanai? I'll be over shortly after doing the dishes."
Originally, I was fine with going outside with my best friend and Daisy but then I realized that now was going to be the perfect opportunity to talk to her about my feelings and Daisy as a whole. Would it be better for Toni to hear it from me or from the brunette in front of me? It's hard to tell. This chance has presented itself and I'm going to act on it. "Let me help you Toni, you need to relax too." The model has been baking for probably the past two hours for us today and the last one of each could do is to help her.
The oldest blonde smiled at me as I stood from my seat. Grabbing my own plate and glass of water, I started to head away from the living area and toward the kitchen. "Thank you, Becky."
"Come on Daisy, let's get the better seats." Charlotte boasted, taking another sip of her half-empty glass of wine. Yesterday it was raining like all hell, of course, that had to be the Christmas weather. It's barely fifty degrees today but there's sunlight today. If we get too cold, I assume that the hot tub is an option. I bring a swimsuit in my gym bag just in case I get the chance to soak with her. If it's just the two of us, I know bikinis would not be worn.
"Bet." Mero replied, following behind the Flair woman, who was already opening the patio door. Those hazel eyes looked back to me, and she looked over to Toni, I gave a nod. She smiled, I believe Daisy realized my intentions here. After another second of two had passed, Daisy followed behind my best friend and closed the screen behind her.
I made my way over to the other side of the center table to where the sink was located. Turning the water on, I grabbed the first pan that originally held the apple walnut cake. Who knew that such a bombshell would make such fantastic desserts? "Here, I'll wash them, and you dry, sound good?"
"Quite the gentlewoman you are, Rebecca, how kind." The blonde gave me such a beautiful smile and I can feel the genuine warmth from her. Toni is such a sweet person, am I about to ruin that? There was a silence between us for about a minute or so as I started washing the pan out. The blonde should be relaxing, she's the one to prepare these amazing desserts but she seemed adamant about cleaning.
Okay, now is probably going to be the only opportunity that I can manage to get Toni and I alone. Not going to lie, I felt a little nervous. I turned to face her and handed the now cleaned pan over to the blonde. "I.. Well, is it okay that I talk to you about something? It's pretty personal."
This clearly piqued Toni's interest as her eyes remained focused on my face while grabbing the wet dish. "Is there a particular reason why you are wanting to reveal this information to me?" Yeah, I can see how the older blonde could see this out of left field, I'd be really skeptical too.
"In a way, yes, it's about Daisy."
Grabbing one of the spoons used to mix the frosting, I glanced back over to see Toni making an 'o' shape with her mouth, her brow arched. She smacked her lips together before speaking. "Daisy Darling, what is this about?"
"I know that you are attracted to her, it's obvious to everyone but her." Is Daisy so blinded by me that she doesn't see what everyone else sees around her? She chose me, out of anyone else because I bet, she gets loads of admirers and the blonde standing beside me is one of them. Storm's lips parted but she never spoke, her pupils dilated for a brief moment as I noticed a slight blush appear across her cheeks. Toni confirmed it for me without saying a single word. I continued. "However… I am also very attracted to Daisy myself; we've been spending a lot of time together here recently and I've really fallen for her." She dropped her washcloth and turned her body completely to face me. I studied her gaze, unsure of how the blonde was handling the revelation. "I know she talked to you about being gay and the whole arranged marriage stuff. You're an amazing person and you've been able to help her in ways that I cannot."
The Heyman Hustle Girl evaded my gaze for a moment, her hand resting on her chest. I can't tell what she's thinking. Silence. The unsettling silence lasted for about twenty seconds or so, Toni released a breathy sigh. "..I see, perhaps I've been misreading the situation." Her voice wasn't the same upbeat tone from earlier, this one sounded more somber, but her face remained stoic. She looked back at me. "Rebecca, darling, you have been the highlight of Daisy's life in recent weeks, haven't you? You've done a lot for her as well."
"She told me that. I didn't believe her at first, from our first meeting until now, she's been on my mind constantly." Wow, I can't believe that I am able to actually talk about this with someone. This weight off my chest feels great.
Toni nodded her head, her eyes drifting to the ceiling. "Being in love is a beautiful thing. Now where does this relationship or potential relationship stand between the two of you?" Is.. Is she in love with Daisy? Is she referring to love as a general topic? I can't get a read on Storm and the way her mind is thinking right now. Last thing I want to do is hurt people, am I doing the right thing?
"We've been um.. hanging out for the past month almost. We aren't officially together, and we've been on one date."
Green eyes fixated back to me. "So sexual relations have been in play, I see, you need to confess your feelings sooner rather than later." Her hands gripped my shoulder roughly, her green eyes looking past me to the patio door. I wonder if the blonde is looking at the brunette that manages to have both of our hearts? She squeezed my shoulders before smiling back to me. "Daisy is a precious gem that really needs the right person to make her shine brightly. There's a strong possibility that you are the one to do so."
"Do you really think so?" I asked.
That smile remained on her face as she released her tight grip on my shoulders, like someone flipped a switch, Storm's face changed dramatically. Her brows lowered and a scowl appeared on her face. A manicured nail pressed roughly against my chest; the Heyman Hustle gave me the answer I was waiting for. "If I'm completely wrong then I suppose I'll beat your arse bloody with my shoe. Don't even think about hurting her." Toni immediately went back to smiling and even reached over to grab the washcloth that fell into the sink. She started drying the dishes again like she didn't threaten me five seconds prior. "Is this something that is sworn into secrecy?"
"You are the fifth person to know, Charlotte doesn't know but that's going to change here soon." It's only fair that I talk to Daisy about coming out to my bestie as well, these two seem to hang out here the most and I prefer not to hide it among our closest peers, especially our besties.
Absorbing all the information I have given her, Toni reached down and grabbed a hold of my hands, covering them with her own. She nodded her head and smiled brightly. "I'll support your pursuit of Darling Daisy, because I believe that you will bring her the happiness she truly desires." Wow, I wasn't supporting her unconditional support considering how possessive she seems around the brunette model. That's really something. I'm fucking relieved. "I'm not sure I could have done that alone."
I'd rather us talk about these things as adults rather than her walking in on us and finding out the hard way. I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings or give her ill feelings about Daisy, they are becoming close friends. I'd like to also become friends with Toni too. "You're amazing Toni, don't forget that." The blonde gave my hand a squeeze, but I noticed her attention going behind me. Was someone coming back in? Turning my head to look, it made sense as the brunette approached us, coming back into the kitchen. "Hey Daisy, what's up?"
"Wanted a can of beer, do you want anything?" She asked, opening the fridge door and looking back to await our answers.
I smiled and shook my head at her offer. "I'm content with my wine but thank you Darling, I'll be waiting for you both outside." She said nonchalantly, grabbing her almost-full glass off of the counter and started making her way past the two of us. She took a few more steps and glanced back at us with a warm smile. "My lips are sealed."
"How did it go?" Daisy asked, continuing to watch the blonde walk away for a few seconds more before turning her attention back.
"She seems pretty supportive of us." I wasn't getting any bad vibes whenever I was talking to the blonde about my feelings about the brunette in front of me. Love is a beautiful thing, but has it escalated to such a love? Was Toni's that far along or was she speaking in general? I took a quick glance back to see the Australian woman walk toward where my bestie was sitting. Daisy opened her can of beer. Did she already finish the wine in her glass? "I was thinking of telling Charlotte, so everything is out in the open here."
"I know how much you trust Charlotte so I'm completely on board with this idea." Daisy beamed me a bright smile, taking a sip out of the can. "I'll be right there with you." Being so that I was able to talk to Toni, it's only fair that at least one of my best friends knows. If this arrangement evolves further into a relationship, I'll tell BayBay and Cedes. Mercedes will definitely be last because I really need to make sure she'll keep her mouth shut.
"I know." There's no reason to doubt the model, I felt her hand gently grab onto my wrist as the both of us started making our way to the patio door. I opened the door and noticed the gaze of the two blondes shift over to me. It's now or never. "Hey Charbar!"
"What's up Becks?!" My bestie exclaimed loudly, Daisy released my wrist and closed the screen behind us. I've never hid a single secret from Char before and I really have been feeling guilty about it. I don't like lying to my friends, but the brunette isn't a normal woman. She's a famous model, a one in a billion chance that she'd even look in my general direction. Now I'm here by her side and wanting to pursue something more with her. This whole thing is super risky for her and can tarnish her career overnight; I don't believe I am worth the risk. Daisy thinks differently.
I sat down in one of the lounge chairs beside my best friend, the brunette continued to stand up for the time being. Toni was in the chair to my right, her eyes glanced between the two of us momentarily before going back to her wine. "I got to talk to you about something, it's pretty important."
Charlotte arched her brow; I felt a good bit of pressure inside my stomach as the blonde's eyes shifted between myself and over to the brunette. She smirked after taking another sip of her drink. "Is it that you and Daisy have been sneaking around like teenagers and hooking up behind everyone's back? Yeah, I've known, I was waiting to see whenever you would actually tell me."
She spoke so nonchalantly and the more time that passed, I noticed that I had been staring at her with my mouth wide open. The cogs started to rotate in my head and process what my best friend had said to me. "Uh.. What?! H-How did you-?!"
I didn't even get to finish my sentence as something crashed onto the floor below and it was metallic. My eyes glanced back to see what caused the noise and it was a beer can that the brunette was previously holding. Her lips were parted in shock as her hazel eyes looked slowly over to me and back down to the spilled beverage. "What a Flair thing to do. Fucking hell... my beer." She let out a cute whine as she bent down and picked up the dented can with a sigh.
"Heh, I'm a Flair, you didn't think I'd figure this out." Charlotte let out a laugh as she held her right hand forward, extending her index and middle finger. "Two words: security cameras. You forgot that I had them in the guest wing too, didn't you?" Son of a bitch, I didn't really think all of that through. I was so ecstatic for the opportunity to steal a kiss, I completely forgot that the Flair Estate is loaded with cameras. "Kissing each other out in the hallway was a stupid move. Not to mention that Daisy went into your room and came out like two hours later to go back in with Toni."
That last sentence caused Daisy's cheeks to slowly start emitting a soft red hue as the Australian model placed her hands on her hips, approaching her. "Darling, why in the hell would you have coitus with Rebecca and then come back to bed with me? That's so scandalous." The blonde woman pursed a smile, slinging her right arm around and down Daisy's shoulder.
Daisy looked over to her co-worker and replied nonchalantly. "I mean.. You fell asleep with me, and I couldn't exactly stay in there with her even though I really wanted too." Aw, I was thinking the exact same thing that night; I hated that she had to go back into the other guest room and lay with another woman. Especially knowing how much the other woman was attracted to the brunette beside me, Daisy still seems oblivious to the whole thing.
"Beck's a horrible liar. I got curious and discovered that gem." God, I feel my own face starting to heat up, I was the one that got us caught. She's not wrong, I am a horrible liar and someone that's known me for over a decade is going to easily see through my bullshit. I was hoping I had more time. "Not going to lie Becks, it did hurt my feelings a little that you would lie to me about all of this."
"Charlotte, she did it for me. Please forgive her."
"I'm sorry Char, I really am."
"Chill ladies, I'm super okay with this. By the way, Becks, I deleted the footage." Oh, thank God, the last thing I need is her old man to see that, it would spread around like wildfire if that happened. My parents would know, her mother would know, and the world would know within a couple hours. The Flair woman gave us each a reassuring smile as I looked over to the pair of Heyman Hustle Girls. All of that pressure was starting to slowly dissolve away, watching the two have a casual conversation about lord knows what. Now that Toni knows the truth about Daisy and me, that storm cloud of jealousy has blown away. I'm super thankful that Storm is really understanding about our situation, and she really wants Daisy to be happy.
One thing remained in the back of my mind from the conversation between my bestie and I back at her estate. "If you have known since after the pool party, why did you start all that fake shit about me having a crush on Toni?"
Charlotte let out a laugh, but this also got Toni to look back over to me with confused eyes. "Hm? What now?" Oh, dear lord, the blonde blinked a couple times, her head slowly cocking to the right. She looked between myself and over to the brunette beside me, who shrugged her shoulders. Toni tucked her hand underneath her chin, like she was deep in thought. Do I even want to know what she's thinking about?
"It was funny." That's not a good enough reason. I fought the urge to roll my eyes at Charbar's antics. Here I thought she was being oblivious as fuck, but she's known for a little bit. If she's figured it out, it's only a matter of time before Baybay and Cedes figure it out too. "Alright so who all knows that you two are seeing each other?"
"Kait and April, Randy, you two and Ronda." The brunette answered.
"My lips are sealed, Darling." Toni let out a reassuring purr, pulling her fingers across her lips to resemble zipping them. She giggled, holding her wine glass up closer to Daisy's lips and allowing the brunette to take a sip.
"Mine are too, although Becks, you will need to tell Bayley and Cedes at some point." Charbar made sure to remind me. "What's going on with the whole thing with Randy?"
"Arranged marriage, we are playing along for now. Our families doing what rich fucks like to do." The blonde gave a sympathetic gaze and nodded her head hearing the bitter tone in Daisy's voice.
"Yeah, that last one is going to be a hassle." I can think of at least three scenarios that immediately jump to my mind. The first one is that the purple-haired lunatic is going to want to know every single detail about my sexy adventures. The answer is no. Second, she would want me to somehow get her in talks with one or more of the Heyman Hustle Girls. Lastly, she's tried to weasel her way in for a threesome. The answer is forever no. I'm not sharing Daisy, ever. I looked over to the brunette woman, who smiled sweetly back as Storm released her grasp on Mero and went back to sit in her chair. "Okay ladies, so you are like cool if I cuddle Daisy now because I've been missing the cuddles like crazy."
"I have no objections." Toni said nonchalantly, as I felt Daisy's hand lace onto mine and lead me over to the chair in the middle of our blonde besties.
"As long as you don't go overboard with the PDA, I'm cool. I'm just glad you have someone to make you happy." You know, I'm super glad that we both decided to tell them what's going on; I feel so much better about this. Daisy sat down first and moved herself over to the right side of the chair. She patted the left side, and I immediately sat down beside her and nuzzled close to her. This feels right. I want more days like this where I can be myself and surrounded by my friends and the woman that has stolen my heart.
