Third person POV
Christmas passsed by in a blink in both the residences.
As Pearls had celebrated it as a family together along with Josans, the little wooden house was lit up not only with the candles and fairy lights but also endless laughters and happiness.
While, on the other hand Florence family couldn't have asked for a much better Christmas as the family had united with their cousin family of Smiths and filled the bucket of Christmas memories to the brim.
And with snow covered streets and golden lights all over the trees, New year was about to knock on their door in just a day.
Which brings our girls to the shopping streets with earpods plugged in and bags of things held in one hand as they rummaged through their own choice of aisles in different shops located in different countries of the United Kingdom.
"Fuck no! Why on the earth are you picking up that Lia?!" The voice blasted in the connected earpods as the said girl squeezed her eyes shut at the booming shriek before she sighed and tried to find different piece of clothing.
"Yes yes yes! That one! Not that! The one next to it!... Yes! Go! Try it out! Right now!" Letting out another sigh, Lia smiled to herself as she grabbed all the pieces she was made to pick out in the last thirty minutes towards the trial room.
"You are too much darling." She chuckled sweetly looking at the screen as the said girl blushed a rosy hue as usual,flustered at the nickname as she whispered a 'shut up and try the clothes'.
"You don't have to cut the call my sweet girl, I won't look, I will close my eyes, I swear." Saying that Leona tried covering her eyes with the free hand while Lia just enjoyed the younger's dorky behaviour.
"Sure sure. Of course my darling would definitely not stare at me practically stripping. Definitely." Although the conversation was fun,their minds raced in different areas. Lia got into a far corner cube and hung out all the pieces on the hanger before placing it on the short sofa right next to the full length mirror from where the younger could get a clear view.... of the outfit.
And just as Lia was getting out of her clothes, the younger was quick to turn off the screen as she got into a nearby washroom in the huge showroom of glass pieces, scented candles, towels and all that cozy items filled in the floor's aisles.
As she secluded a silent cube in the far corner mirroring the elder, she quickly turned on the screen to actually catch the elder to be zipping a short one piece which fit her body perfectly.
Leona's POV
"Isn't it too short or too tight here?" Lia was busy analyzing the dress hugging her body while I was just lost in the beauty of the her.
My sweet girl had recently dyed her hair with Cherry Cola and cut her long straight hair into mild layers that came upto her waist with curtain bangs that shaped the her so damn sharp features so damn perfectly.
And the silver nose ring enhanced her charms even more and the white stone studs had been changed into slightly bigger ones to make them visible on both the ears while as usual,rings and necklaces were stacked up around her my favourite long fingers and oh so delicious neck.
And the dress. The fucking dress just pulled the whole outfit together.
Blood red one piece with a thigh slit that reached her hip and showed her soft, moisturized thigh. So thick and plumpy. All in their glory of brown skin tone was left in the open for my eyes to feast on. And when I looked up from her thigh with lots of difficulty, I was met with heaven's sight.
A deep v neck that showed the cleavage between her full breasts so generously as the stacked silver and stone necklaces made it look even more hotter than it already is.
"Fuck!" I breathed in a whisper as I caught her eyes staring at me with the same emotion as mine which showed that she stood there quietly only for me to enjoy her beauty in that outfit.
"We are buying that. Wear it when we both meet." I said in a silent and steady voice as my eyes could not decide where to stay as they kept flitting from her face to her chest to her thighs to back to face and her neck and just all over her.
We both know what I was doing and why I was doing it but what enticed me was how she was letting me do it and was gladly enjoying it.
"Like my eyes on you Lia?" I whispered as the images of me crashing her against the mirror and making out with her while I held her hand above her head and let my other hand roam all over her gorgeous body while she moaned into my mouth as she scratched with her other free hand on the back of my neck filled my vision.
I sighed as I pushed my hair back and chuckled which was paired by her laughter too.
"I would like your hands on me too." At those words the desipiating tension topped a notch as we both fell into a staring contest.
"You should try out the dresses soon and leave from there before I make us both have a oral sex my sweet girl." I whisper under my breath as I trace her frame through the screen.
"I am happy for having my earpods in. Do you know how pleasuring it is to hear your voice so close to my ears? Your breath, your words, your voice and also to watch the way your lips moves. Darling.." She breathes the name.
So tender, so hot and heavy, so mine. She is mine. Mine, mine, mine..
"You are mine." I let out absent mindedly as she stops caressing the screen over my face.
"And you are mine. So so mine." I smile at that. A maddening, lost smile.
Obviously I am lost. Lost in her. Totally and utterly lost in her.
Next few minutes was spent with her trying out all the outifts that was picked up with me somehow controlling my riling thoughts and finally decided on most of it to be bought.
And that dress was definitely bought. Of course. It was our both favourite out of all. And I bought it for her,with my own earned money. Which makes it even more special and inviting for some reason.
It's thrilling that I get to spend on my girlfriend. Well, we might have not out right called each other as girlfriends but that's what we are. Once we meet, I will ask her officially and we both will be girlfriends anyway.
"You didn't have to go through all that online payment hassle. I could have paid it just fine." She says with a sweet smile of her's as she walks out of the store.
"Nonsense Li. I would do anything for my sweet girl." I see her usual eye roll and yet her cheeks flaring a dark red as she couldn't hide her giddy smile.
My sweet girl likes it when I pamper her. Noted.
For the next hour or so, she helped me with picking stuffs up for home and just like that our new year shopping was successfully completed together.
After the Christmas Eve, the calls and texts had gradually sinked back into our normal day routine as before.
Even though we don't stay on calls and texts all the time life before the trust, love and care was settled like a calm breeze inside of us.
Soothing our demons and lulling them into sweet slumber.
Now that I think back, I find it funny as how such simple things blew up into huge, unnecessary things.
May it be, me getting involved with Austin or she having that little moment of slip with that piercing guy which she wanted to share with me and she did after the Christmas Eve. All of that was such a mishap but somehow that was needed in a way.
In a way that made us realize it's just us. It's always gonna be us. It's always us for each other.
She is my anchor and I am her shore.

Hey people!
How are y'all holding up?
Sorry for such a long gap. Recently there's been many additions to life, so I am juggling between all of that.
😅
This part was just to focus on how their relationship is building back step by step but in a much more calm and trusting way.
There's a lot I wanna say about this story, maybe I'll save it for the ending of the book perhaps?
See you in the next chapter!
