No Strings Attached

Chapter 18: And then it happened...

Becca grinned as the words tumbled out of Freen's mouth almost excitedly. "Really?" She teased and stole another glance at the beautiful woman beside her. "So tell me what the vibe's like right now...?" Becca dared to ask as a tease. Freen was only about 3 seconds on her heels with her reply. "Right now it's pretty tense, but in such an enjoyable way. You sure you don't want to take me home with you?"

Becca felt a soft burn spread across her cheeks and mentally she was smacking herself to go for it. It's what she had always done after a gig - take a girl home after the gig, have a good bout of sex all night, and kick them out in the morning right before a nice hot shower. But with Freen, oh lord no. Freen was not just a girl and would not be treated as such. "I do want to take you home with me, but it's not time yet."

Freen looked confused, also remembering Becca's gig night habits. Freen sat upright and leaned away from Becca where she was still driving the car. "You always take a girl home. Am I not good enough?" Freen wasn't angry, she was sad, helpless that it might be the truth, that Becca wasn't romantically interested in her after all. It had already taken so long to get to where they were, wouldn't they have been there already? Freen's head hurt at the possibilities.

"I took those girls home because they were easy and cheap and I'm not proud of myself but it sometimes comes with the territory. I did not respect them and that was wrong of me. But Freen, without a doubt I would do everything I can to respect you, as long as you respect me too. And respect means honesty at its core. Loose lips sink ships and I don't want to be caught in that hurricane."

Becca moved her one hand from the mechanics to Freen's thigh so that she could squeeze it and sooth over it by rubbing her thumb on the spot. "I don't want to label this. I just want it to be us... naturally..." Becca stopped at a red light and ran her hand from the steering wheel back through her wild blonde locks. "So I'm taking you to your dorm before I lose all my composure."

Freen swooned at Becca's words and Becca's touch and the way she glanced at Freen. The young Asian was crazy for this girl that probably already held her heart since they were at school. Freen was just too dumb to realise it. Now it was comfortably within her reach and Freen felt like that same little school girl with her school crush. As long as she could be near Becca she'd be happy, whatever label or no label.

Finally they pulled up out front in the parking lot flanking the student res buildings. The little dorms were so pretty that Becca could see it must take a pretty penny to live here. As the car came to a stop, Becca made her way over to Freen's side in two strides, then opened the door for her to exit the car. She smiled with her slitted eyes at Freen as she took her hand to help Freen step down.

Becca, after about seven steps, let her hand slide into Freen's. She loved how her own arm always landed on top, even since they were young. Freen's arm rested beneath Becca's, and it seemed to say a lot about the roles they play in their relationship. Becca is more assertive, more defensive, more intimidating. Freen would always let her take the lead unless she felt it absolutely necessary to intervene.

Becca was the top dog, the alpha wolf, the stud lion... And it turned Freen the hell on. She was so drawn to Becca as one of the reasons she keeps sticking to Becca's orbit is the fact that Freen didn't mind a little domination. She couldn't believe her own thought as such one came up, but it was a silent wish that perhaps one day a time for that will also come.

They came to a stop in front of Freen's door and turned to each other, hands still intertwined. "Oh god, this is like one of your cheesy romantic movies, isn't it?" Becca explained when she realised the trope they found themselves in. She threw her head back with laughter.

"Well, then it's perfect, isn't it?" Freen grinned and pulled a chuckling Becca closer, resting her hands on Becca's hips. Becca decided to mirror Freen for now and so placed her hands the same. "Do you think this is going to turn into a staring match?" Freen asked as her gaze rested rock solid on Becca, her own piercing gaze staring back at her.

"You know how competitive I am! What are the rules? Let's go!" Becca overplayed it a bit for comical effect. "Okay close your eyes first..." As soon as Becca's eyes were closed, Freen was busy pressing her taller frame into Becca, letting the smaller girl feel the delicious weight and warmth of Freen's body. Becca instinctively wrapped her arms more tightly around Freen's middle to keep them interlocked. Freen's hands quickly found their way to Becca's neck to turn her head just the right way for her lips to make impact.

The kiss was slow and deep, enough to swallow both whole. Freen carefully coaxed Becca's tongue out of hiding and danced with it, pulling the slightest breathy moan from Becca. Lifting her hands until she could get hold of Freen's hair, Becca tried her best to level them slightly, but it wasn't a big issue, especially when it gave her better leverage to reach Freen's neck with her mouth. Her lips seared a white hot line up the one side to reach just beneath Freen's ear. She breathed into Freen's ear and said, "Thank you for tonight. You were...amazing..." Freen shuddered at the gentle note of endearment.

When Becca pulled back, Freen's lips followed again, placing another sweet but solid kiss on Becca's lips. The longing for more was palpable, but both understood by now that it just wasn't the right time. Reluctantly pulling away from each other, Becca started taking step for step backward. "I'll see you Monday Sarocha... Or maybe tomorrow if you're lucky." She shoved her hands in her jean pockets and watched as Freen made her way inside, then turned away to walk to her car.

The butterflies were swarming around both tummies as the girls climbed into their respective beds that night, both still reeling from their kiss as they stared at the ceiling. Eventually sleep would follow with vividness and clarity...
