Chapter 14
`I hope I'm dressed appropriately' Sloane thought to herself as she looked at her ensemble critically in the mirror. Sloane shouldn't have worried since once again she had asked her roommate to help pick an outfit for her "first" date with Nic, and as usual Lindsay had managed to pick something chic and suitable for dinner and a museum. The tiny brunette looked cute in a black A-line skirt that hugged her ass and skimmed just below her knees, and a beautiful embroidered see through white peasant top with a white tank that showed off the right curves. Sloane was also a few inches taller since she had borrowed Lindsay's black Aldo's. Her makeup was light and used only to emphasize her mouth and deep chocolate eyes. Sloane nervously looked at the clock on her bedside table; it was almost 7:30. She fussed with her straightened layered hair, which framed her face, grabbed her tiny black Gucci purse and headed out to the living room to await Nic's arrival.
Sloane joined Lindsay on the couch and began to watch MTV with her.
"Sloane, I must say that you look good, but I was wondering, won't your hair be ruined if you girls are taking her bike? And won't it be hard to sit on in a skirt?"
Sloane didn't even have time to think about that when a knock was heard throughout the room. She quickly got up and opened the door with a big smile on her face, which faltered slightly when she saw that it was her best friend Eric and not a certain blonde. "Oh it's just you." she said jokingly.
"Oh that hurts so very much. I thought we were closer than that; after all you're the love of my life!" Eric teased back, while pretending to hold a knife in his chest.
"Oh really? Does Lindsay know this? Cuz I think she might have something to say about that, and I for one would rather not deal with her temper, it's scary as hell!"
"Yeah good call. So really where is my blonde angel, I brought her a present."
"Don't try to butter me up mister, just give me the present and we'll see if you deserve a kiss." Lindsay kidded as Eric walked over and gave her a kiss and a small box of chocolate covered coffee beans. "Oh my favorite, thanks honey." Eric sat down next to Lindsay and immediately scooted closer into his shoulder, as he automatically put an arm around her.
"So Sloane," he said as soon as she settled down across from them in an easy chair "you look nice. Where are you going and who with?" Eric had known Sloane since they were children and thought of her as his own sister, since they both had no siblings. He was the first one she came to when she had a problem she was unable to solve, and many a time he had beaten up guys for making rude comments about her choice of lifestyle. He had always been there for her, but especially when her own parents had practically disowned her for being who she was; it was he who had talked to them and calmed them down enough for them to realize she was the same girl they had always loved, but that now she preferred women more than men. The relationship between Sloane and her parents was not the best, but they really loved her, and tried to understand her as best as they could.
"Well, thanks Eric; Lindsay actually helped me pick this out. Anyways I am going out to dinner and an exhibit at the museum with my new friend Nic."
"Ah is this the Nic with a motorcycle? Cool, I wonder if she'll bring it tonight!" Eric said excitedly like a child.
"I don't know, maybe she will. So what are you two up to this evening?"
"Well we were planning on dinner and a movie, then we'll be back here to just chill..." but Lindsay was interrupted by another knock at the door.
Sloane quickly jumped up and answered the door to find Nic standing there with a stuffed bear holding a single white orchid. "Hey Sloane," Nic said with a shy smile on her face, "this is for you." Sloane beamed and took the gift while moving aside and inviting Nic in.
"Thanks this is really nice."
"That's really cool, but where's my present!" Lindsay joked as she saw what Sloane had gotten.
"Well actually, I do have something for you..." Nic stated while fishing around in her pocket, "Aha! Here it is. Now try not to swallow it, you're just supposed to chew it and spit it out."
"Ha ha, very funny, but thank you. I like icebreakers. By the way Nic this is my boyfriend and Sloane's best friend Eric.
"Hi Eric, nice to meet you. If I had known you were going to be here I would have gotten you something too, wait one second." Nic turned to Sloane and lightheartedly grabbed the bear and handed it to Eric "Here you go handsome. I named him Bandura, but I suppose you can change it if you want to!"
"Well thanks, but I think Sloane is already attached to the little guy, and she might kill me if I take it. Plus there is no way I want a bear named Bandura. I can't even spell that, so how would I be able to write about it in my diary." Eric laughed.
"Well good, cuz he's mine, buddy!" Sloane declared as she snatched the bear back "What a cute name, and it's so perfect for me. Thanks a lot Nic." Sloane finished with a gentle kiss on Nic's lips.
Nic blushed "So are you ready to go yet?"
"Yeah, just one question, how'd you get here?"
"Don't worry Sloane, I brought a car." Nic said as she opened the door for Sloane.
"Bye girls have fun, and hey Nic, she doesn't have a curfew!" Eric said while winking and closing the door behind them.
Chapter 15
"Thanks so much for the gift Nic!" Sloane stated happily as the two strolled hand in hand to the car "That was really sweet of you."
"I'm glad you like it." Nic smiled and stopped opening the door to a midnight blue Jimmy SUV. Sloane climbed in and sat back on the black leather seats, put on her seatbelt, and waited as Nic got in and did the same.
"This is a great car, but whose is it?" Sloane queried.
"Oh it's mine, well mine and Gen's." Nic quickly amended, while starting the car "Our parents wanted us to have other means of transport besides the cycles, so they got us this. It comes in handy when we need to go home and take our laundry with us."
"And how often do you girls go home?"
"Well actually the three of us were planning on going home in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if you weren't doing anything, if you would want to come home with us and see our farm?" Nic asked her brunette friend.
"Wow, you girls live on a farm? Cool I would love to go!" Sloane said enthusiastically.
"Great! So uh did you want to go to the museum first and then eat or the other way around, and where did you want to go?"
"I was thinking we should go to the museum first, so we don't have to hurry through the exhibit and then maybe to Bucca Di Beppo's?" Sloane answered naming a popular Italian place.
"Sounds like a plan, lets go!'
The rest of the drive was spent chatting about their days, classes and just things in general. When they arrived at the museum Nic parked and quickly jumped out of the car to open the door and assist Sloane from the tall SUV. Sloane thanked Nic and as they walked towards the museum, holding hands Nic said, "Did I ever tell you how great you look? Cuz you really do, and not just tonight but every time I see you!"
Sloane smiled and stopped for a second; Nic continued to walk but was tugged back by Sloane who proceeded to kiss the blonde senseless. "Consider that a thank you" Sloane stated breathlessly and continued onwards dragging the dazed taller girl behind her into the building. Nic had bought the tickets before hand, so they proceeded directly into the show gallery and meandered through, with linked arms, looking at the great impressionists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Occasionally when a particular piece caught their eyes they would stop and study it in more depth, often discussing the art, otherwise they ambled through quietly and just enjoyed each other's company.
An hour and a half later Sloane and Nic exited the museum and headed towards the car. "Wow that was so much fun, thanks for taking me Nic!" Sloane enthused. "It was really nice to do something other than a movie or a club, not that I don't like doing that stuff, its just it gets boring after awhile."
"Yeah I know what you mean," Nic agreed as she opened the door for Sloane "It's fun, but after awhile it gets to be tedious. So you ready for dinner?"
"Yeah I'm starving, so drive faster!" Sloane joked
Soon they entered the busy restaurant, and Sloane sulked when she heard the wait was 45 minutes to an hour. Nic just smiled charmingly and said, "I believe we have reservations under the name Rousseau for 9:30."
The stressed hostess looked, found the name, and proceeded to seat the two girls. Nic thanked the girl and gave her yet another charming smile as she slid extra close to Sloane in the booth. The hostess blushed prettily, smiled shyly, and said that their server would be out shortly.
"So Nic when exactly did you call for a reservation? I mean we were together for the whole time at the museum and I only told you where I wanted to go when we were driving to the museum, so spill!" the tiny brunette demanded.
"Well the thing is, I actually asked Lindsay what your favorite restaurant was and then I made a reservation for 9:30." Nic explained as she gently grabbed Sloane's hand, and started to lightly rub her thumb along the back of Sloane's hand.
"I see, but then how do you know I wouldn't have wanted to eat first?"
"Well, promise you wont get angry with me? I kinda manipulated you; if you remember when I asked what you wanted to do I asked if you wanted to go to the museum first. When I did that I was implying to you that I wanted to go to the museum first, and you subconsciously picked up on that and agreed with that suggestion."
"Wow, are you sure you're not a Psych major? Cuz that's impressive," Sloane said with a smile, then thought aloud, "actually now that I think about it I don't know what your major is."
"Well I'm double majoring in business and equine studies. Yes I realize that those seem like totally random choices, but I hope to help out with our farm later and maybe even take over when my parents want to retire."
Before Sloane could ask her another question, their server, a bubbly redhead named Erica, came over and asked if they needed more time to look over the menu, and if she could get them anything to drink.
"Hmm I think I'll hold off on the wine till dinner; could I get a water and an iced tea? Sloane what do you want?"
"Could I get the same, but with lemon in my water and iced tea?"
"Sure can!" Erica said cheerfully "Can I get you any appetizers now?"
"Yes actually, can we get an order of bruschetta and mozzarella caprese?" Nic asked "If that's okay with you Sloane?"
"Yeah that's fine, but don't you think that's a lot of food?" Sloane said hesitantly
"Well then looks like we'll have extra for tomorrow." Nic said with a wink "And besides live a little, baby, its not like we eat like this all the time. Yeah we'll get both of those please." Nic stated as she turned back to the waitress with a smile
The waitress grinned at the little display and found the two almost too cute. She noticed the ease with which they sat next to each other and figured that they had been dating for quite awhile.
As she turned to go fill their drink orders and put in the appetizer request she heard the blonde say to her girlfriend "Aw don't pout I'll let you pick the main course and the dessert."
"I'm not pouting I'm scowling" Sloane said with her lower lip sticking out in an adorable pout "Wait did you say dessert?" as her eyes lit up she said, "Fine, but I might not let you have any."
"That's okay, I'm sure you'll give me a taste one way or the other" Nic huskily whispered into Sloane's ear while gently nibbling on the delicate lobe, which caused the tinier girl to shiver in delight.
Their server returned shortly after with their drinks and took their order of chicken parmigiana and an order of greens and beans. Throughout dinner the two girls got to know each other more and found out that they had a lot in common. They liked a lot of the same music; especially Muse a band that no one had really heard of in the US. They had both run in high school for their track teams; but whereas Nic had been on her swim team Sloane had been a gymnast. At that interesting bit of information Nic's eyebrows had shot up and her head had filled with all sorts of kinky scenarios.
`Holy crap! Wait can't think like this; bad Nic' Nic shook her head slightly as if to rid her mind of the dirty thoughts and asked out loud "So do you still do gymnastics?"
"Yeah, but not so much since I twisted my ankle. I still do some of the lighter exercises, but anything too high impact I try to stay away from. Basically I just do it for fun sometimes, I never was that good at it, cuz I started a little late."
"Oh I'm sure you were good, maybe sometime you'd want to show me some of the moves?"
"Hmm maybe" Sloane purred as she ate some more of her pasta.
Nic smiled at that and forked up some more of her own food. The two girls continued talking and Nic told her a little more about her family and farm, she noticed that Sloane really didn't talk about her family except to say that she was an only child and that Eric was like her brother, and she had a cat named Mr. Whiskas. Nic snorted when she heard the name and teased Sloane about the originality of the name.
"Hey I like the name, and I think he does too!" Sloane defended, as she pushed her plate away; half of her meal was still on it and when Nic pointed that out Sloane merely said that she was saving room for dessert. Nic shrugged it off and continued eating. When the waitress returned Sloane asked for an order of chocolate covered cannelloni, while Nic asked if she could box up the rest of their food.
A few minutes later the rich sugary concoction arrived; Sloane smiled devilishly at Nic, took a fork and cut a small bite which she brought to her own mouth and seductively licked her lips, opened them and chewed the delightful morsel sensually. Nic almost groaned at the visual display. Sloane again cut off a slightly larger piece of cannelloni and locking eyes with the blonde, fed it to her. Nic closed her eyes and sighed in delight, it was so good! Sloane proceeded to feed Nic a good portion of the cannelloni, while taking a few bites herself. But in the end, even Nic's seemingly endless appetite was satisfied, and about half of the chocolate covered sweet was left; that too was packed up and in the end it seemed that they had barely eaten anything. Sloane then excused herself to the restroom while Nic paid the bill. The waitress came back and conversationally asked how long they had been dating.
Nic smiled, got up as she saw Sloane heading back from the powder room, and answered, "This is actually our first date." She took the bag of food and then Sloane's hand and they left the restaurant.
Chapter 16
The ride back to Sloane's was spent in a comfortable silence, listening to a CD and holding hands. When they parked on the street Sloane looked at Nic and said "I had a great time tonight, thanks for taking me out. I really liked the exhibit!"
"Yeah me too...um did you want the food that's leftover?"
"No that's fine, thanks though. Do you want to come in and hang out for a while with me, Eric and Linds?"
"Sure, lets go." Nic replied happily. She again got out and opened the door for Sloane, at which Sloane smiled and contemplated `And here I thought that chivalry was dead!'
Almost instinctively her hand fell into Nic's and they walked down the sidewalk to the brunette's place. She slipped the key in, turned the lock and entered the house only to find it empty "Hmm I guess Linds and Eric aren't back yet. Oh I guess they wouldn't be it's only 11, kinda early for them. So you want to watch some T.V., or maybe a movie?"
"Yeah okay...whatever you wanna watch is fine by me." Nic said while sitting gracefully on the couch, and letting the shorter girl look for a movie. Sloane finally decided on a thriller and popped Red Dragon into the VCR, and slid onto the sofa snuggling into Nic and her body heat. The blonde smiled and put her arm around the younger girl and allowed her head to pillow on her shoulder.
"I love this movie" Sloane said, "Edward Norton is so cute in it, and Ralph Fiennes' body is awesome."
"Yeah I guess his body is pretty good," Nic grudgingly agreed, "If you're into that kinda thing. And Edward Norton is good in this movie, but I have to say that he was really good in Primal Fear, I mean that role really made his career!"
"Yeah I have that one too if you want to watch it instead." When Nic shook her head no, they slipped back into silence watching the flick. After about a half an hour Sloane had given up on trying to concentrate on the movie. She was too distracted by Nic's warmth, and she kept stealing looks at the older girl; it didn't matter anyways she had seen this movie so often she knew almost all the lines by heart.
The tiny brunette sighed softly; she was bored. `Hmm but I know a way to liven things up' Sloane cautiously put her hand on the blonde's thigh, when Nic didn't notice Sloane smirked evilly and lightly stroked her hand upwards. At this touch Nic became aware of the tiny hand and gulped, she looked at Sloane's face, but it appeared that she was watching the movie and didn't realize what she was doing to the taller girl. The hand continued to idly move up and down Nic's thigh and came ever closer to her center. When Sloane's fingers finally brushed over her, Nic shuddered in pleasure and moaned aloud. Sloane looked over with an innocent smile and asked if anything was wrong; Nic just shook her head and bit her lip as Sloane continued caressing her.
The touches were driving Nic wild and she couldn't stand it anymore, she hastily pulled Sloane onto her lap and ensnared Sloane's lips with her own. The small girl, when being abruptly pulled onto Nic's lap, gave a little yelp, which allowed the highly aroused fair-haired girl easy access to the depths of Sloane's sweet mouth. After the initial surprise Sloane sank into Nic's embrace and twined her arms around the older girls neck.
Nic moaned when she felt Sloane's tongue sparring with her own, and her hands ran over the petite body in front of her. She couldn't get enough of it, and just had to feel some of that soft tan skin. One ran under the brunette's top and played along her ribs and abdomen, while the other hand found its way under the skirt that had hiked up when Sloane had been dragged onto her lap, and traveled up her smooth golden thigh. Sloane gasped into Nic's mouth as a hand gently played over the moist heat she was generating, and pulled Nic back to her parted lips.
Sloane, tired of only receiving pleasure, quickly shifted until she was straddling Nic. She pulled back slightly and ran her hands over the front of the blonde's shirt and started unbuttoning the blouse. They were both panting, and had locked eyes the second the kiss had broken. As soon as Nic's breasts were revealed, Sloane dove down and latched onto a nipple that was tenting the frilly bra. Sloane's suckling through the lace caused Nic to moan and arch her back in order to feel more of Sloane's hot mouth on her.
Oh god this is so hot' Nic thought. A second later she felt Sloane shift to the other breast, and when she felt the cold air on her aroused bud it woke her from her sexual daze Shit, what's going on, this is too fast. Don't want to do this yet' Aloud Nic managed to whimper "Wait Sloane, hold on." Sloane lifted her head, but her hands were busy fondling the delicious mounds of her lover.
The lust Nic saw in those chocolate eyes was disarming and she managed to stutter, "Umm, I think this is going too fast, don't you?" Without waiting for a response, she continued on "You know I try not to do anything till the third date, that way people don't think I'm a total slut, and I can tell who wants to be with me for me and not just for sex."
Sloane grinned and replied "Well good thing this is the third date then!" and moved her head down to kiss Nic again.
Nic's head retreated so their lips were millimeters from each other, and they were gazing into one another's eyes "What are you talking about?" she asked confusedly.
"Well," Sloane whispered gently stroking her sides now "we went for coffee the other day, then went to the bar, and then tonight. But if you actually think about it, this is our fourth date technically." Sloane watched as Nic's blue eyes glazed over and turned darker still "We had lunch yesterday as well, so that makes it four. Not to mention the fact that we have already, in the literal sense, slept together."
Sloane watched Nic's bruised lips muttered, "So you don't think I'm a slut?" At that quiet question Sloane's eyes whipped up to see the vulnerability in her look.
Sloane emphatically stated "No, of course not! Who told you that?" When Nic looked away Sloane tipped her chin back towards her and softly said, "Nicola, I like you a lot, and I want to have a relationship with you. What we do tonight or any other night will be entirely up to us, and is nobodies business but our own. I definitely don't think you're a slut, and anyone who tells you differently will have to deal with me! Nobody, and I mean nobody messes with my girlfriend and gets away with it! Okay baby?"
"Yeah" Nic happily whispered, and nuzzled closer to the feisty brunette "So does this mean I'm your girlfriend now?"
"Yes ma'am, you've got the job." Sloane murmured while kissing her behind the ear.
By an unspoken consent the two girls decided to cool it down a little, and just sat on the couch cuddling and watching the rest of the movie. After the movie, Nic decided to leave, and the two girls were in the middle of a goodbye makeout session that they failed to hear the keys turning in the lock and only broke apart when Eric and Lindsay coughed loudly. Nic blushed, but Sloane only beamed at her two friends and gave another quick peck to Nic as she walked out of the door. Nic said goodbye to everyone, promised to call Sloane tomorrow and left.
