Rachel stood in the doorway for just a moment then looked at Jorge and smiled.
"Hi."
Jorge couldn't believe how beautiful her deep reddish hair was and trembled as they hugged for the first time. She hoped Rachel would like her Sunflowers scent and the way she wore her hair back and clipped with small gold bands.
"Hi...God your so pretty..." Her voice was shaky and her hands were shaking as she backed off a little bit to look at her.
"I was so scared of doing this...I almost chickened out."
Rachel looked at her and hugged her again..." Oh baby I'm so glad you did."
"Me too...now."
"Want to go have a drink?"
"Do you?"
"If you do."
"Ok."
She took Jorge's small hands in hers and then hugged her again..." God I can't believe your actually here."
The drive was almost silent as the two of them sneaked glances at each other and smiled...Jorge was so nervous Rachel felt sorry for her and when she pulled into the parking garage she pulled the keys out of the ignition and looked over...Her voice was breathless as she said..." Oh Jorge I wouldn't hurt you."
Jorge was licking her lips and trying to smile but her lips were trembling so bad and her breathing was so erratic.
"I know." She went to get out and Rachel held her shoulder for a moment.
She looked into her eyes and slowly they seemed to come to the center and kissed...It was a trembly one for both of them and the next one Jorge slipped her fingers into Rachel's hair and gently pulled her forward.
Her heart was beating so wildly Jorge thought Rachel must be able to hear it.
"Common Sweetie."
They quickly walked the half block to the dimly lit dance club and Jorge loved the blue mood lighting that greeted her.
They slipped into the booth and Jorge slipped her light tan coat off as Rachel told the girl they wanted white wine's with crushed ice, laced with peppermint.
"You'll like these...there really smooth and taste so good. "She smiled and then noticed the silky electric blue top that shimmered in the lights.
She pushed back and whispered to Jorge ..." Will you dance with me?"
Jorge didn't trust her voice so she just nodded yes and got up.
She tried to smooth the soft gray skirt down and suddenly wished she hadn't of worn such a short one. She pulled at the shinny thin black belt and looked up at her.
Rachel took her hand and squeezed it softly as she led her to the floor...she took Jorge into her arms and gently began to swing her around the floor while looking at her eyes.
Jorge couldn't stand it she moved closer to her body and felt so happy when Rachel held her really close to her and let her bury her head in her shoulder.
By the second dance she had her hand curled up in Rachel's and was wondering if she could kiss her here on the dance floor.
She finally decided she would and let her lips shyly kiss her neck. She loved Rachel's response and pressed her butt in a little bit as Rachel slipped her hand down it and held her close.
"Thank you for being so real and giving me time to adjust to this."
"Jorge It's ok sweetie...I knew you needed a lot time."
She led her back to the table and they sipped the wine and kept looking at each other...smiling and talking quietly.
"Want another one?"
"I'm not much of a drinker really...is that ok?"
" Sure it's ok...Shall we go to my place ...or is it to soon?"
Jorge nodded "yes "Its ok." then she picked up her coat ...
she was putting it on as Rachel slipped around and helped her with it. She handed her, her purse, helped her flip her hair back out of the collar and smiled as she thanked the server and took her hand.
"I made us some dinner actually...if your hungry?"
"I'd love to eat something...the food on the plane was really crappy."
Rachel looked at her and quickly hugged her..." You don't have to whisper all night."
"My voice is really this soft actually." She wondered for a moment..." Does it bother you?"
She knew it did some people, they thought she was putting on airs or something.
She looked around and decided she loved the family pictures around the room and was surprised as Rachel caught her around the waist. "Common" ...she led her to the small table and handed her a single white rose then beamed at her smile as she sniffed it.
Jorge loved the way she had set the table...they were sitting side by side and so close. She tried to keep her mind on the food but was flustered by the candles and the way Rachel kept pressing her hand on her when she laughed at something.
"Taste." She slipped the spoon over and loved the way her tiny tongue reached out timidly to lick at the ice cream.
"It's good...Jorge reached out and grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes as she took the whole thing into her mouth. She shivered at the cold taste and kept holding her hand then she Kissed Rachel full on the mouth and loved the warmth of her lips and the cold of the ice cream.
She felt Rachel shiver and moan softly as she slipped some of the ice cream back into her mouth.
They each set the utensils they were holding down and melted into a warm hug.
