This is the fourth installment of my Librarian series. I recommend that you read at least the first installment to get the full enjoyment out of this story.
------------
Val rustled through her slick winter coat pocket to find the key to her apartment. She stood in the cold drafty hallway, only one short flight of stairs between the apartment door and the blustering wind outside. With her arms full, she struggled before her cold fingers found her key and unlocked the door.
It was Friday, the last day of her work week as a teacher. The week had been stressful with tests, misbehaving students, and lots of grading to be done. Luckily, she finished her work in the last few hours of the day, and could come home to relax. It was her birthday, and even though she didn't like to make a big deal of it, a few students had made her cards and wrote "happy birthday" on the board in her classroom. She returned home reflecting on a good day, but she was still tired from a week of consistent stress.
Val Mostafa was a newly 27 year old teacher with a romantic masculine appearance. Her skin was a rich olive brown and her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were thick and black. Her build was slim and toned and characterized by its strong edges. She had a strong jaw and a tall square nose below sharp but kind eyes. Her hair was cut into choppy layers, somewhat resembling a wolf cut, and she stood shivering in her puffy winter coat and boots.
She clumsily unlocked the door and stepped inside. The living room was warm, much warmer than the outside, and came as a relief. She walked into an apartment that was much cleaner than one she left that morning. Long neglected things had been put back in their places and every surface was wiped down and vacuumed. A wood scented candle sat burning on the coffee table, creating a fresh and inviting environment to come home to.
From the darkness came a little pale figure with a bright happy smile. "Happy birthday," sang Elva sweetly. Her eyes shone as she relieved Val of the belongings in her arms. She unzipped the larger woman's coat and carefully pulled it from her shoulders, placing it on a chair at the kitchen table before she was pulled back into Val's embrace.
"What's all this for, huh?" Val smiled and leaned down to kiss her briefly.
"Well you insisted you didn't want anything, but I couldn't just leave it at that." She looked up at her with a smile. Her face was lit up with affection and light shimmery makeup behind her round glasses. "I thought at least I could make it a little more comfortable in here." Elva was dressed in her pajamas like any other night; she wore a large sweatshirt and a pair of short pink flannel shorts. Her long curly brown hair flowed over her shoulders. Her skin was fair and clean and soft like a marshmallow.
Val chuckled, "Thank you, Elva."
Elva reached up and undid Val's tie delicately, followed by working open her shirt buttons one by one. Val thought her fixation with her work uniform was cute and allowed her to do as she pleased. As she reached the lower buttons on her shirt, revealing the white bra she wore underneath, Val pulled it over her head with a chuckle and left for her bedroom to change. Elva relished in the glimpse of her exposed honey skin as she walked away.
When she returned to the living room, Elva was fussing over two plates of delivery from her favorite restaurant. She came out wearing a black t shirt and sweatpants, stepping over to her lover to kiss her temple and squeeze her. "Wow, thank you, my love. You really didn't have to do all this."
Elva laughed. "You act like I'm throwing you some huge party, I just want to make today a little special," she teased.
"Well, thank you. I love it." Val didn't know how to express the swelling in her heart. To her, Elva alone was already an invaluable gift. When she looked at her, she saw an angel who she would do anything to protect. When they met, something changed where Val had no choice but to eagerly give up her bachelor lifestyle for her. It became more important to have her to herself than anything else.
They snuggled together on the couch and talked and laughed through the movie they had put on the TV. Val admired Elva's dorky and cute laugh with a soft heart. This little birthday party, and above all the handcrafted invitation of quality time, made Val wonder how lucky she was to have met this angel girl.
Once they finished eating and digesting, Elva got up from their nest on the couch with a mischievous little smile. The sun had set on the couple and the living room had become dark without them realizing. She shot her a look that told her to stay seated before disappearing into the dark.
A lighter flick and single candle being lit signaled her return. Elva stepped into the light of the TV with a little white cake for the two of them. She sang happy birthday in a sweet voice with a bright smile. Val chuckled in embarrassment before blowing out the candle. More than celebration for herself, she felt an immense love for Elva, who had taken the time to prepare this for her.
Elva sat the cake down on the coffee table in front of the couch and hurried to switch on the lights. Once the room was lit, Elva's real surprise was revealed. She wore a delicate powder blue set of sheer lingerie with little lacy details. The airy dress cinched below her full breasts, teasing the appearance of her pink nipples underneath the fabric. The rest of the dress flowed down her soft squishy waist and floated around her hips. Underneath, a set of dainty blue panties with a little bow on each hip was her only solid covering. Her face was pink and shy as she watched Val's gaze scan her up and down.
To Val, she was a holy thing to behold. She wrapped an arm around her waist carefully, as if she would break if handled too roughly. Once a smile broke across the larger woman's face, Elva was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Happy birthday," Elva whispered sweetly.
Val planted a sincere kiss on her lips. "Thank you, my love. You look beautiful."
The cake was forgotten as Val sat down and guided her angel into her lap. She held her waist with her large hands while they met for a gentle kiss. Elva smiled against her lips and sat back so Val could look at all of her. "I'll be your present," Elva whispered with a giggle.
