“We can’t.” She replied softly. I pretended not to hear. I took my hand away and slowly descended to her sweet and very wet centre. She grabbed my hand. “Ang, stop. We can’t.”

“I don’t think the rest of your body got that memo.” I raised my soaked fingers to my mouth. Before I could taste her she took my fingers, first the index and then the middle and cleaned them with her tongue and lips. I stifled my moans in the back of her neck. “I need you G, I need to make love to you.”

She didn’t respond right away. Then she said, her voice cracking a bit. “I can’t.” She finally turned so our eyes could meet. She was crying. I’ve never seen her cry before. Not even when I told her about my indiscretion.

“G, what’s wrong?” I put my hand to her cheek and wiped her tears.

“I want more than anything to make love to you right now.”

“Then why don’t we?”

“Because it will be too hard.”

“I don’t understand.”

“It will be too hard for me to leave if we do. And I cant go to New York, or even go back to school feeling the way I did after our first time knowing that we aren’t together like that anymore, at least for now.”

“You were the one who wanted a break. I didn’t ask for it.”

“But you aren’t ready Ang. Not for the kind of relationship I want.”

“You keep saying that.”

“Look Angie, I don’t want to argue with you.” She turned from me and sat at the edge of the bed.

I got up and sat next to her. “I don’t want to argue either. I just want to be with you.” Then I took her hand, “Which ever way you want me. But only for now.” I laughed.

She put my hand to her lips. She smiled. “I love you. More than I ever thought possible.”

“And I love you.” I kissed her. “I love you more than you believe.”

In the master’s bedroom a few minutes earlier.

***Bette***

I went to the bathroom to freshen up. Before I went in Tina had her ear to the door. I didn’t take it on initially. But then I came back out ten minutes later and her ear is still stuck to the bedroom door. “T, what are you doing?” I asked.

“It’s quiet. Too quiet don’t you think?”

“What? It’s late honey, come to bed.”

“Maybe I should go check on them.”

“Tina, are you going to hold your ear to the door all night.”

“Maybe it was a bad idea having Gina sleep over. What if they’re, you know?”

“Oh my god.” I mocked. “They could be humping each other with Renee taking pictures.” I continued with sarcasm in her voice. Then she gave me the ‘if you don’t stop I’ll pop you one over the head’ look. “I’m sorry.”

“You’re right.” I am? I actually got one this time. She calmed down and came to bed. “Maybe I’m over reacting.” She kissed me and cuddled next to me. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Maybe I should pop in, say goodnight.” And she left the room before I could hold her back.

***Tina***

Ok maybe I am over reacting, but lets face it, they are two girls in love who barely see each other with pent up sexual urges, what the ***** was I thinking. Anyway I went to check in on them. It was quiet. Not a sound. Not even talking. I knocked on the door. Quietly at first. I didn’t get a response so I knocked a little harder. Then Angelica finally opened the door. “You girls ok? Comfy?”

“Yeah mom, we’re fine.”

“Gina, she settle in good?”

“Mom. We’re fine.”

“Good. Good. Well sleep well. Love you honey.”

“Love you mom.”

I turned to head back to my room. “Mom?”

“Yes honey.” I turned around quickly expecting something.

“Gina won’t disrespect you and mom, so you don’t have to worry if we’re having *****.”

Ok now I didn’t expect that one. It threw me off guard and the only response I could think of was, “Ok.”
