--- MAKING KIARA SQUIRT ---
"It's soooo big," Kiara's eyes practically glowed.
"Told you," Vanessa grinned. "Lick it before it dribbles on your hand, though."
The brunette gave her friend a glaring look. "Obviously." As her tongue ran across the smooth surface, she practically moaned with delight, and Vanessa observed the smaller girl with an impish smile.
"Delicious, right?"
"Mmhmm!" Kiara beamed up at her friend and worked her tongue some more. "One of the best I've ever had."
Vanessa leaned back on the wooden bench, the wind tousling her scarlet locks as she relished in watching her friend - a rare sense of satisfaction washing over her. Kiara seemed to thoroughly enjoy her ice cream cone, and the trip had been worth the small detour. Nevertheless, the inner turmoil was causing her mind to fuzz with an odd sense of anxiety too. Today was the day she was going to tell her - her best friend, Kiara, whom she had known since they were seven - how she truly felt about her. The petite brunette didn't know it, but as far as Vanessa was concerned, they were on a date. One that she had been building up the nerve to follow through with for months.
"How come you're not having one?" Kiara asked between licks, cocking her head curiously. "Since when do you decline an opportunity to stuff yourself silly?"
The redhead sighed wistfully. "I guess.. I feel a bit strange today."
Kiara's face instantly took on a mask of worry, which tugged at the taller woman's heartstrings. "Strange in what way?" she prodded gently. "Not feeling sick or anything, are you?" She brought her free hand to rest on Vanessa's forehead to check her temperature before she even had a chance to respond. Her feather-light touch felt strangely alluring on this particular occasion.
"No.. I'm fine."
"Really? You do seem rather warm. Perhaps we should reschedule and-"
"Kiki, stop." She swallowed hard as her friend pulled back and looked at her inquisitively. "I'm fine. Honest. It's just..." She rubbed the back of her neck and avoided Kiara's eyes, focusing instead on the bright-blue sky above them. The way the sun was peeking through the leaves of the willow tree, illuminating Kiara's already radiant features; casting an almost ethereal glow around her best friend's hair - it made her look like an angel with a golden halo. Vanessa was struck by the urge to just reach out and touch her soft cheeks - cup them in both of her hands - and just stare deep into those luminous eyes, confessing her true feelings. But she couldn't do it. Not there, not then.
"Vanessa?" Kiara interrupted softly, voice tinged with worry. "What is it?"
"I promise I'll tell you later, okay? Double promise." Vanessa tried to sound casual, but in truth, she wasn't sure how well she managed to sell that impression. Therefore, a change of topic seemed in order. "You know, I think you'll be delighted about where we're heading next! It's the cutest little second-hand store, but they also have a large collection of antiques. Come on, finish up your ice cream, then let's go!"
Shopping was an activity many women enjoyed, but few more so than Kiara. Nevertheless, she rarely actually bought anything. To her, it was all about the hunt for a good bargain - or discovering a secret treasure. Something she didn't even know she needed, yet fell in love with once she had it in her hands. If the item was vintage - had a story to it, real or imaginary - even better!
"After you, princess," Vanessa said as she held open the door to Madame Grandeline's second-hand boutique, bowing her head slightly and sweeping her arm outward with exaggerate flourish and flair.
"Why thank you, kind lady" Kiara replied with a fake, haughty accent that was both cute and ridiculous at the same time, and the duo stepped inside of the quaint little store. The air was heavy with the scent of lavender oil, and the store was so packed with knick-knacks and bric-a-brac that Kiara could barely move. Yet there was an odd sort of serenity to the chaos. It felt mysterious, as if the whole store was full of surprises just waiting to be discovered.
As they navigated the cluttered space, Kiara checked out just about everything she could get her little hands on; old music boxes, china dolls, crystal liquor glasses and vintage handbags. Vanessa, meanwhile, checked out Kiara's shapely buttocks, enjoying the way her skirt swayed with the brunette's movements - how it brushed over her firm behind, teasingly and sensually. She followed close behind like a loving shadow, smiling as she observed Kiara in her element. A warm glow of happiness spread through her chest as she took in the adorable sight of her best friend, squealing and cooing over one item after another as she laid eyes on them. "Look at this!" she would exclaim, showing off some unique piece of art or other to Vanessa, before putting it back on the shelf and moving on to the next.
