"I mean, I still can't believe you're actually here. How did you manage not to give away the surprise for four whole months? No offense, but you're not the best at keeping secrets from me," Tessa teased her girlfriend, Amelia, as they stumbled, laughing, through the doorway of Tessa's bedroom after dinner with their friends. Amelia had surprised Tessa by flying home a few days earlier than expected after spending the last 4 months in England for grad school.
"Heyyy, I can keep a secret when I really want to," Amelia teased back as she set down her suitcase and started to unzip it. She'd been diligently keeping a countdown of the days till she'd get to see her girlfriend and all their friends again, and now the pair had a whole week to do whatever they wanted before heading to their respective hometowns to spend the holidays with family.
"Plus...I kept picturing the way your face was gonna light up the second you figured out I was actually here and that alone was motivation to keep this from you," Amelia giggled as started looking for a comfier set of clothes to change into. As thrilled as she was to be home, jet lag was still a bitch and the two margaritas she'd had at dinner weren't doing much to keep her awake either.
"Mel are you kidding me; it's been FOUR MONTHS since we were together and you're already getting ready for bed? It's 9pm for fuck's sake."
"Tess, you've gotta remember that my body thinks it's 3am right now," Amelia yawned as she dug through her suitcase. (where were her sweatpants?) Tessa jumped off the bed, crouched on the floor next to Amelia and began to help look for her sweats when she stopped abruptly. "What's that?" she questioned as she began to chase after the flash of pink she saw in the suitcase.
"What's what? Oh--" Amelia's face turned bright red, which was saying something because her dark complexion didn't easily give her away when she blushed.
"OH MY GOD you bought a vibrator?" Tessa laughed as she fished out the ziplock bag with the device in it. Despite the fact that they'd been together for almost 18 months, Amelia and Tessa still messed with each other like the best friends they were before they started dating. "Awww, someone missed me way more than I thought they did!" Amelia's cheeks went from pink to scarlet red as she grabbed the bag and hastily returned it to the bottom of the suitcase.
"Look, it's been a long time and...well, I have needs and I'm not gonna apologize for that," Amelia exclaimed indignantly. She stood up and began to head for the bathroom with her change of clothes when Tessa grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Hey, you don't need to apologize; I think it's kinda hot," Tessa looked up into Amelia's big, brown eyes with a sheepish grin on her face. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't imagine how you, y'know--got by, so to speak--without me a few times while you were gone." Tessa glanced down to look at her finger, which had begun lazily tracing its way around Amelia's ribcage. "Okay I thought about it pretty often, actually," she shared as her finger slowly turned into her whole hand and made its way towards Amelia's back and underneath the fabric of the black turtleneck she was wearing.
"Really?"
Now it was Tessa's turn to blush. "Yeah..." she looked up at her girlfriend's face to find she was smirking at her.
"Not so tough now huh?" Amelia's free hand cradled the base of Tessa's head as her thumb rested on her cheek. The pair laughed underneath their breath before Amelia broke away to toss her clothes back in the general direction of her suitcase. She turned back around and jumped on the bed right in front of Tessa, who was now on her phone. Amelia grabbed it and set it down on the nightstand next to them.
"Mel, I was in the middle of something; what gives?" Just as she started to reach for her phone, Amelia pulled her on top of her so that they were inches away from each other.
"What, you thought you could mention fantasizing about me while I was gone and not expect me to do anything about that?" Amelia said with a smirk as the two rolled so that they were both lying on their sides, still facing each other. Tessa's eyes widened, clearly not expecting such a blunt question from her otherwise reserved and easily flustered girlfriend.
Amelia leaned in so that her lips were inches away from Tessa's ear, and whispered--"Don't you wanna see the real thing instead of picturing it in your head?"
Tessa felt a wave and heat rush over her and her pulse begin to race in her chest. Still at a loss for words, all she could do was shake her head enthusiastically before pulling Amelia in for a fervently passionate kiss. All the pent up desire between the two was released in a single moment, as their hands roamed every inch of the other's body. Tessa reached for the hem of her girlfriend's shirt and pulled it over her head quickly, revealing a black lacy bralette. Finding her voice, she kissed along Amelia's jawline and whispered in her ear "go get your vibrator."
Amelia jumped off the bed and returned in seconds. Tessa pushed her onto her back and took a moment to drink in just how sexy her girlfriend was; half naked, her dark, wavy hair strewn across the pillow, and looking at her with those pleading eyes of hers. Tessa pulled off her pants, leaving Amelia in nothing but her bra and a lacy black thong.
"Y'know it's not nice to stare," Amelia said, noticing how much her girlfriend liked the matching set she had so carefully chosen to wear tonight.
