This one is for all the people who take the time to email, comment or vote on my little drama, without you writing this wouldn't have been as fun as it has been. XOXO

"Viv, you've already done so much. Let me take that?" Brad asked, as he came up behind me. I was holding a tray of mini cucumber sandwiches. We were having drinks and nibbles at the farm. The whole town seemed to be there. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough food and I was right, though their always seemed to be plenty of drinks.
"I'm fine Brad. Go be with your family." I pointed at Brad's wife and kids across the lawn.
"You are my family." He was not backing down, as he took the tray out of my hands. "Go have a lie down sis, you need it." I knew I looked tired and as Brad mentioned having a lie down I immediately felt sleepy. If only I had a fairy godmother to put me asleep until prince charming could kiss me awake and we could live happily ever after. But, since that was unlikely to happen I would take the opportunity to have a nap.
I made my way around the various people to the house, carefully trying to avoid all conversation. I made it to the house without any transgressions. I breathed out a sigh of relief and slipped through the back door into the house.
What I didn't expect was to run into a very familiar solid body as I entered the house. "Jay," I gasped, placing my hands in front of me.
"Whoa, sorry." Jay grabbed my hands to keep me steady.
"Jay can you let my...," I said looking down at my hands that he had in a firm grasp.
"Oh right of course." He let go of them slowly. His grey eyes bore into mine keeping me in place as he began to speak. "Can we talk Viv?"
I immediately snapped myself away from those eyes as he spoke. Wasn't it the girl who usually wanted to talk? I had no intentions of talking in the immediate future; all I wanted to do was sleep.
Sideling past him I yawned out, "Can we talk another time Jay, I was just going to take a nap."
I could see the compassion in his eyes from everything I had been through in the past year. "Sure go take your nap, we can talk another time." Then stepping closer to me he gave me a quick peck on the lips, before going outside with the rest of the people.
I was really hoping Jays talk didn't involve anything about his 'new' feelings for me. Well as far as I was concerned they were new, he had never mentioned he had loved me before.
Sighing I slowly made my way up the stairs to the second floor, where my old room was located. When I walked into my room I was careful to sidestep a few boxes next to my bed. Besides the fact that my old bedroom had become a storage room, it was still pretty much the same as I had left it all those years ago.
A smile spread across my face at the familiarity of it all. The same oak desk that I had spent many an hour at, carving words and pictures into, a few of those words happened to do a lot with Anna. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind, dealing with my emotions wasn't the objective, sleeping was.
Then I looked at my big comfy queen size bed. I quickly zig-sawed through the rest of the boxes and flopped down on the big fluffy flowery comforter. Closing my eyes I was ready to sleep the sleep of the dead, when I felt the bed dip next to me.
I presumed it had to be mum, since she was also supposed to be in bed resting, after her tough day. So, I kept my eyes closed and was content to drift off to sleep.
Her hand came up and lightly swept a few strands of hair from my face. Then I felt the bed sink in more as she bent down to place a kiss on my forehead, but when she said 'I love you,' it wasn't mum's voice. It was Anna's.
My eyes flew open. I was so surprised to see her here. I managed to avoid Anna all day with success, which was a hard feat as I knew she was looking for me. But, Anna had finally found me.
Her sky blue eyes locked onto mine and she seemed to be in as much shock as me. Obviously she expected me to be asleep. I pushed myself up into a sitting position on the bed, so we were more level with each other. Anna's hand went back up to my hair that was no longer long, but chin length and placed a few misplaced strands behind my ear.
I couldn't help but lean into her touch. I had missed her so much.
Slowly my eye's travelled along her body. She was still the same Anna, but older, though the years just seemed to make her look more sophisticated and beautiful. She was wearing a casual black silk dress, that went a little beyond the knee. It glided perfectly over her every curve, so I could see just how fit and toned she had kept herself. She still had amazing breasts, that were plainly visible. The only thing that had seemed to change about her body was her tan. It looked like it had faded a bit, which was to be expected as I couldn't imagine her spending that much time outside, with her job and studies keeping her busy.
My eyes glided up her perfect heart face, lingering on her kissable pink lips and back to her eyes, that were full with love and lust as I looked her over. She had seemed to be doing the same as me, but looking over my body.
Her arm slowly came up to my face and the lust left her eyes as she traced the dark circles that had formed under my eyes, from my lack of sleep. Her pink lips turned into a frown as she looked at me. I'm guessing she just realized how poorly I was caring for myself.
"How are you love?" Anna asked with so much compassion and love for me. Though she probably knew the answer I could tell she still had the need to ask anyway. But, for me it was the straw that finally broke the camel's back. Everything that had happened over the past six months came up in an emotional torrent. It was like Anna had taken my heart with her when she had left and now that she was back, I could finally feel again.
My eyes watered over and my breathing became ragged. Anna grabbed a hold of me and squished me into a tight hug, whispering soft 'shh's' and 'it will be alrights'. My father was dead and my mother was sick. How did I miss those two important points in my life before? But, I seemed to make up for all the emotional turmoil now, as I clung on to Anna for dear life.
I cried into Anna's neck for what seemed like hours. When my sobs had turned into sniffles, Anna gently untangled me from her arms so she could look at my face. I didn't expect her to do what she did next, but slowly she inched her face into mine. Her face was perfectly calm, while mine was in a bit of shock as she pressed her lips into mine and gave me a gentle kiss.
She pulled back and looked carefully into my eyes to gauge my emotions. She had definitely succeeded in getting my mind off my emotional hurt. Now all I could think about were her tender lips.
I carefully touched my fingers to my lips as if I could catch some residual of her and she gave me a wicked grin, as she realised what I was doing.
This time she moved a lot faster towards my lips, practically pouncing on me. Our lips met in a mash, as we fell backward onto the bed. She kissed me fervently, trying to make up for lost time. Then abruptly she pulled back.
She placed her hand lightly on my cheek and closed her eyes, whispering something to herself. Then those dazzling blue eyes opened again with tears in them. "I'm so sorry, Viv. I should have been back years ago. I should have never broken contact with you. It's all my fault. I just wish..." she said, as I placed a finger to her lips midstream.
"If anything it's my fault I should have called you years ago." I didn't want Anna to blame herself for something I had done. It was me who suggested to stop calling and seeing each other because of the long distance emotional strain. Anna just went along because she knew it was what I wanted. We would do anything for each other, but sometimes that was not always a good thing.
Anna ran both her hands through her blonde locks. "No we have to stop this, we can't blame ourselves. If we keep up like this then we'll just keep fighting about whose fault it was and I don't want to fight with you, love. I want to do other things with you," she ended, with the return of that wicked grin. She was right though, we couldn't keep blaming ourselves. We had to forget about the past and live in the right now, which was looking quite appealing.
This time I was the one who went for Anna. I pulled her face gently towards mine and kissed her how she had first kissed me before; sweetly and tenderly. I was no longer confused about my feelings for Anna. I wanted her. I never wanted to ignore her again. I still had no idea how I had managed to ignore her the whole day.
It took me ten years to figure out that I really needed and wanted Anna, but later was better than never.
My tender kiss ended as Anna assaulted my mouth with her sweet pink tongue. I glided my hands up under her black dress, along her silky smooth thighs and to her perfectly pert ass. She groaned in my mouth when I gave it a tight squeeze.
We eventually pulled apart panting. "So, you're not tired anymore," Anna said looking at me with lust ridden eyes.
