Wednesday finally came, and Emily couldn't be more excited. Yesterday had dragged on forever, she had to do an endless amount of chores that made her exhausted. But Amanda didn't come to see her, it was twenty past seven when Emily started to get worried. That's when she noticed the tiny note on her cell door.
Meet you at the big tree in the courtyard.
XOXO, A.
She touched the purple handwritten text fondly, she definitely wanted more kisses. She considered the note a promise for more.
She was there, underneath that large oak tree, looking as stunning as ever. The morning sun was strong, casting the leaves of the trees and the grass around Amanda in a golden glow. Amanda was looking away from her, and mischievously she thought about sneaking on her. She started to creep up slowly from behind her, ready to surprise her.
"Hello Emily." Amanda said without turning around. Oh damn.
"Hey." Emily said, flopping down on the grass beside her. "How'd you know I was there?" "I heard you coming." Amanda said simply.
"Oh." Emily said with a laugh, wrapping her arms around Amanda's waist and giving her a kiss.
"Mm...I missed you." From the eager and long kiss that was returned in response, she knew Amanda had missed her too. "Whew! That is quite the greeting." She said breathlessly. Amanda had brought something with her, a wooden box with a very familiar pattern.
"You want to play checkers?" She said with a raised eyebrow. Amanda was full of surprises.
"Thought it would be fun."
"I do enjoy a good game of checkers." Emily said, rubbing her hands together.
"That's not all." Amanda said with a sneaky grin, putting her hand on the side of the box she pulled the side out of the box, revealing several compartments filled with various cheeses, fruits and crackers.
" Oh shit, I didn't know I was dating the female version James Bond."
"Yeah, that's me, sex for dinner, death for breakfast." Amanda joked.
"Oh I forgot to tell you the rules, you're not allowed to cheat." Amanda complained as Emily captured her last piece, ending the third game a row that she had won.
"Haha." Emily stuck out her tongue at the other woman. "What's the score again?"
"Ugh, 6 to 2 in your favour, don't remind me." Amanda said, tossing the pieces back into their box.
"Hey, I can't help it if I'm amazing." Emily said playfully.
"Yes, you are." Amanda said in all seriousness, and Emily felt a slight flutter in her stomach.
