"Love and Pain." ~~~~~~A LEGACIES STORY

Chapter 45:

The house gives off this spooky vibe when you first see it at night, but if you stare long enough you can tell that it isn't spooky. It's just a house.

A house that has belonged to a family that have loved and supported each other. It's a house of love. There isn't much light inside. Only a little moonlight that shines through a few windows. Hope laughs at me each time I accidentally slip.

Hope's room is a little cold. It's not cold enough for a sweater though. It's like when you first get in a swimming pool. Cold at first, but if you stay in long enough it'll warm up.

"These pants are actually pretty uncomfortable." Hope laughs as she starts to take her pants off. She looks through her old drawer. "Wow. It's still crazy seeing this empty."

She goes over to her suitcase and pulls out a pair of matching pajamas. "I used to always wear these." The silk pajamas fall nicely over her body. I try my hardest to not stare at her.

"Well, at least you look cute. I'm only going to be wearing a tank top and shorts."

Hope laughs and puts our suitcases under the bed. She closes the door and walks over to her mirror, putting her hair into a ponytail.

The moon shines a little through her balcony. I open it and walk over to see the city. It's so beautiful. The building lights are shining bright , but it's still really dark. A few people are outside playing music and laughing. I smile at the people who are dancing, the couples making out, and the animals running around.

Hope stands behind me. Her face is on my shoulder. Her scent is strong. It's lavender.

"It's so beautiful out there, isn't it?" My voice is so quiet. The wind starts to blow a little less. Everything is calm.

Hope wraps her arms around me tightly.

"Not as beautiful as you." She tries to make her voice sound sexy and it works. We both laugh a little though. Neither of us have ever said anything like that before to each other.

"You do realize that was so corny right?"

She starts to kiss my neck and shoulder. I try to get inside so that other people don't look at us, but I get lost in her touch. It's irresistible. My hands go back to her waist while biting my lip.

"Hmmm. Well I guess love makes you do things you normally wouldn't." She pulls my body closer to hers.

We both start to chuckle. It's so comfortable here. Hope telling me that she loves me, her kissing my neck. I turn toward Hope, and rub her face.

"I love you so much." The moon shines on her face. She smiles at me brightly before kissing me.

We kiss each other passionately while making our way inside of the room. Hope takes off my tank top and shorts. I take off her pajamas.

Now we're just in our underwear. Hope pushes me on the bed before crawling onto me. She sits right on top of me and pushes some hair out her face before kissing me again. Her hands start to rub my legs and arms.

I cling to her as she places my legs on her back and kisses my neck softly . The air from outside is cool which causes us to cling to each other even more. We start to feel connected with our bodies. No space between us at all. The wind blows in making us laugh at how cold it is.

"Want to close the doors?" Hope stops our kisses and pants as she talks. Her hair strands behind her ear and the rest of it coming out of her ponytail. A look of eagerness in her eyes.

I look to the doors. Music is still being played. Almost like this was the most important thing in the world. Like playing music was specifically for us. "No. It's fine." She smiles at me before smashing her lips into mine. Her hands start to travel under my bra and mine pulls her hips closer to me.

Her touch calms me. It may sound really corny and cheesy but it brings me peace too. She doesn't even have to try. It just happens. Everything about her brings me in. Every single aspect of her is amazing.

She starts to get tense when I start to take off her bra. Her arms fly up, and she breaks the kiss.

"Hey, you're beautiful." She blushes at me her eyes brightening up. I stare at her while leaning in to kiss her again. Hope starts to undress us until now there isn't anything on us. The only thing we have is the blanket and ourselves.

Thirty minutes later, me and Hope lay next to each other. We look up at the ceiling. She turns towards me and I turn to her. We stare for at each other for a long time.

"Hi." I whisper to her and she smiles at me.

"Hi."

We stare at each other seriously now. We're communicating without words. There's no need to speak at all because we know what the other is thinking. This is real. This is love. No matter what ever happens between us we will always love each other. Tonight just proved that. It was something we had wanted but we didn't need.

We would still love each other the same even without what we just did. There isn't anything that we would do for each other. She means so much to me and I mean so much to her.

Hope takes my hand and smiles at me again. I look at our connected hands. They fit perfectly together. Almost no spaces between them. We both laugh a little. As if there wasn't another for us to be together. We're soulmates.

The moon shines on her face more. The light of the moon reflects perfectly on Hope. Even though she is strong and appear unafraid of things, she really is just a girl who is hurt. She pretends to be happy only she really isn't.

I get out of the bed in a robe and walk back over to the balcony again. The people are still dancing and partying it's just a lot less now. More people have went inside of restaurants or went home.

The bed squeaks a little and I know Hope is getting out of the bed. She walks over to me and puts her face into my right shoulder again.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" She whisper so softly into my ear. Its just like music to my ears. Her voice is so peaceful to me.

"Not as beautiful as you." I try to sound like how she sounded early tonight.

We both start to laugh and she puts her head more into my neck. It's so peaceful staying like that. Two girls in love, in a family home, in a city filled with adventure and love. It felt right.
