Twenty Seven

Cheryl woke up in the same position she fell asleep in, laid on Toni's chest their arms wrapped around each other. She untangled herself as she sat up in bed taking in Toni's soft features as she peacefully slept. She could sit and watch Toni forever, suddenly realising how deep her feelings for this girl was. She shook her head but couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she stood up. 'Hey, where are you going?' Toni groaned, her eyes still closed 'come back' she said holding her arms out to the redhead. 'So needy' Cheryl laughed as she laid in Toni's opened arms. The redhead pressed kisses around Toni's face in hopes that she'd wake up. 'Shall we go out for breakfast?' Cheryl whispered causing Toni to crack one eye open. 'On one condition'. 'What is it?'. 'Actually two conditions'. 'What are the conditions TT?'. 'One is that we have breakfast at Pops'. 'Okay and the second?'. 'I take you on the bike'. 'No way' Cheryl laughed. 'Okay goodnight' Toni smiled as she closed her eyes again. 'Okay fine but if you kill me I will haunt you forever' Cheryl huffed and sat up. 'That wouldn't be a problem' Toni laughed as she jumped up kissing Cheryl and leaping out of the bed to the bathroom causing the redhead to giggle. 'You're a child' Cheryl laughed. 'You love it' Toni said popping her head back around the door before disappearing again.

It was safe to say Cheryl was nervous as she stood by the bike. 'Put this on' Toni said handing her the helmet. 'What about you?' Cheryl asked. 'I'll be fine, come on put it on' Toni smiled as she sat on the bike. After Cheryl slid the helmet onto her head she looked over to Toni again. 'Okay climb on'. Cheryl lifted her leg over and sat behind Toni pulling out her phone to open the gate before sliding it back into her pocket. 'Okay hold on' Toni yelled as she started the engine. Cheryl's arms wrapped tightly around Toni and she squeezed her eyes shut as the bike roared to life and they began to move. When it felt like the bike was travelling at a steady speed the redhead dared to open her eyes. Maybe this wasn't so bad she thought as she slightly loosen her grip around Toni. She could feel her heart thumping in her chest as the adrenaline pumped through her body, it was terrifying but at the same time exciting. She let out a laugh as the wind blew through her hair and she allowed herself to feel free. Toni smiled to herself as she heard the redheads sweet laugh behind her, she was definitely falling for this girl. As they got closer to Pops Toni decided to push the bike a little harder, speeding up and swerving between cars, she loved the feeling of freedom when riding a motorcycle, especially when a certain redhead had her arms wrapped around her body.

Toni slowed down as she pulled into Pops parking lot, she stopped the bike so they could get off. 'So how was that?' Toni asked as Cheryl passed her the helmet. 'Terrifying' the redhead said 'but completely freeing' she smiled at Toni. 'I knew you'd like it' Toni smirked 'come on let's get breakfast, my treat'. She grabbed the redheads hand and led her into the diner, they greeted Pop as they found an empty booth. 'What can I get for you ladies?' Pop asked as he approached the table. 'Two stacks of pancakes and a chocolate and strawberry milkshake please Pop' Toni smiled. He jotted down their order with a nod and headed off back to the kitchen. Toni looked at Cheryl 'there's no way I was just letting you order a black coffee for breakfast'. 'If I keep eating all this junk food I'll put weight on' Cheryl said. 'Oh well, it's fine with me' Toni smirked. Cheryl just shook her head as she smiled. When Pop placed their meals in front of them Toni raised her chocolate milkshake to the redhead 'to us'. Cheryl smiled shyly as she clinked her glass against Toni's 'to us'. They ate their breakfast over light conversation, discussing the night ahead. Cheryl told Toni that Veronica and Archie were meeting them at the club and she had already ordered them an Uber to pick them up at seven.

The couple decided that they'd get ready in different rooms for their night out not wanting to get under each others feet. Cheryl of course used her room and Toni used the spare bedroom she had slept in with Tommy. Cheryl was actually pretty nervous, Toni had never seen her drunk and she didn't want to make a fool of herself although she was sure her girlfriend wouldn't care. She turned her music up after she had showered so she could hear it over drying her hair, throwing it up in a bun when she was done so she could do her make up. The redhead sang along to her music as she sipped on a glass of wine. She styled her long ginger hair with her curling iron taking her time to get it perfect. Cheryl wanted to impress Toni tonight so she spent a lot of time choosing an outfit, she flicked backwards and forwards through the clothes in her wardrobe as she stood in her red lingerie her eyes finally landed on something she liked. A thin strapped dress that showed off her cleavage and her long legs, red of course. She chose to add a red choker and red stilettos to finish off the outfit. The redhead took a look in her mirror to make sure she was happy with how she looked before picking up her purse and waiting downstairs in the kitchen for Toni deciding another glass of wine would help get her nerves under control.

Toni loved the space she had to get ready, she had her music playing from her phone as she moved around the room getting ready. It had been a long time since she'd been able to go out to the club since she was a mother and she was looking forward to it. She clipped her hair up and left two strands down at the front framing her face, her make up dark and smoky to compliment her black dress which was long sleeved and showed a lot of leg. She wore gold earrings and a bracelet, finishing her look with black killer heels. She sat on the bed scrolling though her phone while she finished her glass of wine, her music stilled blasting from the speaker. When the glass was empty she cleaned up the mess she had made not wanting to leave it until tomorrow when she would more than likely have a hangover. When she was satisfied the room was as it was when she came in she gathered the rest of her things and headed downstairs.

Cheryl nearly choked on her drink when she saw Toni come into the kitchen. 'Oh my god' the redhead said standing up and moving over to her girlfriend 'you look beautiful' she said as she twirled her around before placing a kiss on her lips. 'No you look beautiful' Toni complimented back as her eyes moved down the redheads body. 'Maybe we should just stay here?' Cheryl said with a smirk. 'I know you're not being serious but I totally would' Toni smiled back. 'I guess we can't disappoint Veronica, she's been excited since I told her you was joining'. 'Really?' Toni asked. 'Yeah of course, she hasn't seen you for a while, do you want another glass of wine while we wait for the Uber?' the redhead asked. 'Yeah sounds good' Toni said holding out her glass. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife, they couldn't take their eyes off each other and they knew that the alcohol wouldn't help the situation. The way their eyes roamed over each others bodies when the other one wasn't looking, every so often catching each others eye and blushing slightly.

'Okay the Uber is here' Cheryl said standing from the stool and reaching for Toni's hand, making sure they had everything before they left the house. The redhead locked the door before taking her girlfriends hand in hers again and walking down the driveway towards the Uber. Toni opened the door for her girl letting her get in first before sliding in herself. The driver set off in the direction of the club as Cheryl pulled out to text Veronica letting her know they was on their way. The music played quietly through the car as the couple chatted about how much fun Tommy was having with his uncles after they called him when they had got home from Pops. Their conversation ended when they pulled up at the club, it was busy already, the line of people following along the building. Toni got out of the Uber holding her hand out to Cheryl who took it with a smile. The music was so loud they could hear it as soon as they stepped out of the car. 'Do I need to ask about joining the line?' Toni whispered. 'Come on' Cheryl laughed as she pulled Toni straight towards the door. 'Miss Blossom' the bouncer nodded 'Miss Lodge is waiting for you in your usual VIP area'. 'Thank you' she nodded at the large man. 'Come on babe' she said glancing at Toni as the people waiting to get in groaned in disapproval. 'Do people always complain?' Toni shouted over the music. 'Every single time' Cheryl nodded 'but I'm not bothered by it'. Toni took everything in as Cheryl lead her to her usual spot noticing how full the club was already.
