“Maybe we are stricken with the same fate.”
“Does that mean we were fated to hookup?”
Kat lingered on a movie that advertised a heterosexual couple on the verge of a hilarious breakup.Man, I love movies about straight people breaking up. Comedy gold.“I was meaning to ask you something tonight. About fate, that is.”
“Oh?” Vivian’s hand gently traced a line up Kat’s spine. She shuddered.Yes, do that. That’s the good shit.Talk about tingles!Fuck eating dinner if we can go right to the main course, huh.“What did you want to talk about? Is it sexy?”
“Yeah, kinda.” Kat hadn’t been self-conscious before, but now she bit her lip and wanted to look away from that seductive gaze coming in her direction. So much easier to do this when Vivian looked like a sweet angel instead of a dazzling devil! How was Kat supposed to formulate full words around someone who made her feel so warm inside? Sometimes that heat burned until it was a fire strong enough to melt the words.
“Well? What is it? You gonna say it or just sit there like a broken clock?”
“Tick-tock.” Kat stretched her arms above her head as she leaned back on her couch. “I’m a broken clock, but at least I’m right twice a day.”
“Are you right at this moment?”
“Depends. You tell me.”
“Well?”
Just do it before you lose the nerve!“I think we should talk about what exactly we are.”
Vivian grinned. She got it. She knew what Kat meant. But would she say it? Or would she make a joke? “We’re two smoking hot women sitting on a couch getting ready to make out.”
That was a joke… right?
“Vivi,” Kat placed her hand on Vivian’s knee, “would you consider making this official and being my girlfriend?”
Vivian couldn’t contain it any longer. She fell in a fit of giggles that was louder than the heart thundering in Kat’s chest. “I thought you were going to make me bring that up!”
“I could’ve. But I would’ve much rather get it out of the way before the rumor train really got running at work.”
“What are they saying about us?”
“That we’re cute as fuck. Oh, and that I should be thanking Shari for hooking us up.”
Vivian planted a kiss on Kat’s cheek. “Why do that when we could thank each other for existing?”
“I love the way you think.” Kat tossed aside her remote and tackled Vivian against the couch.
It was the perfect end to a perfect week, wasn’t it? Who knew that the shy-looking lady who came into her bar a week ago would end up being the girl of her dreams? Who knew that a monster like Shari would be what brought this breath of fresh air into Kat’s life? Kat swore she was going to spend every day of her life worshiping the gorgeous girl who was still getting used to the new her. Vivian needed the ego boost – and Kat needed the outlet for her gushing feelings.
She also needed to eat dinner – which became apparent when her stomach growled so loudly that it interrupted the kissing happening on her couch.
“Oh my God,” Vivian said with a snort. “Stop trying to eat me out and get some damn dinner.”
Vivian was invited to partake, of course. And she did, both in the dinner, and in the lovemaking that lasted half the night.
