Play Thing (Sara and Nyssa)

Chapter Ten

Three months later

Nyssa was exhausted as she tried to complete her work. It was taking longer than usual because she was sick and dealing with a migraine.

Sara was curled up in the corner of the room, reading a book, or well trying to read a book.

A soft groan escapes Nyssa and she dropped her head into her hands.

Sara looked up. She placed the book quietly onto the floor and stood up.

The brunette didn't hear her moving, trying to get her head to stop hurting.

Sara crossed the room and rested her hand on Nyssa's shoulder.

Lifting her head, Nyssa sent her a weak smile.

Sara offered her a small smile.

"Do you need something?" Nyssa asked her softly.

Sara shook her head.

The brunette tilted her head to the side, her eyes were darker because of her migraine.

Sara leaned down and gently kissed Nyssa's forehead.

Closing her eyes, Nyssa leaned into Sara.

Sara stroked Nyssa's hair.

Humming softly, Nyssa nuzzled her face against Sara's throat.

Sara reached for her notepad and wrote 'Are you okay?'

The brunette doesn't respond, not seeing the notepad as she keeps her face buried in Sara's neck.

Sara tapped Nyssa's shoulder and then the notepad.

Leaning back, Nyssa looked down at the notepad. "I'm fine, just dealing with a migraine."

'Go lie down.' Sara wrote.

"I can't, I have work to finish." Nyssa responded softly.

'You can finish it tomorrow.' Sara wrote.

"It's due tonight." The brunette said, looking back at her computer.

'Need help?' Sara wrote.

Biting her lip, Nyssa looked up at her. "Can you play with my hair again?"

Sara nodded. She dropped the pen and paper and began playing with Nyssa's hair.

The brunette instantly relaxed and went back to typing.

Sara leaned against the desk as she played with Nyssa's hair.

It wasn't long before Nyssa finished her work and pulled Sara down onto her lap. She gently nuzzled her face against Sara's neck.

Sara froze, surprised.

Nyssa just held her close and closed her eyes.

When Sara realised that Nyssa meant nothing by her actions, she allowed herself to relax into the older woman's arms.

The brunette relaxed even more as she just held the younger girl. "I think I need a nap."

Sara nodded.

"Join me?" Nyssa asked softly.

Sara nodded again.

Releasing the blonde, Nyssa took a deep breath.

Sara stood up.

Getting up, Nyssa grabbed her hand and led her to the bedroom.

Sara followed, pushing her fingers through her hair.

Laying down, Nyssa looked at her through tired eyes.

Sara lay down beside her.

Instantly the brunette curled around her. "Will you play with my hair again?"

Sara nodded, she rolled onto her side and began playing with Nyssa's hair.

Relaxing, Nyssa closed her eyes.

Sara spun Nyssa's hair around her finger and pleated and unpleated her dark locks.

Sighing contently, Nyssa struggled to stay awake.

Sara rested her head against the pillow but didn't fall asleep.

It didn't take long before Nyssa was asleep.

Sara stayed awake.

Rabbit jumped up onto the bed and curled up by their feet.

Sara looked at him as she continued to play with Nyssa's hair.

The dog just closes his eyes.

Sara looked back at the ceiling.

Nyssa curled further around Sara, remaining asleep.

Sara's mind wandered to what her life might be like if her parents had never sold her. But then her mind quickly went to Nyssa. If her parents hadn't sold her, they'd never have met. She wouldn't be here with Nyssa and Rabbit on the bed, playing with Nyssa's hair.

A meow comes from beside the bed.

Sara sat up and looked around for the source of the meow.

Nugget was beside the bed.

Sara reached down and picked him up.

The kitten instantly curled into her.

Sara rubbed his head gently.

Meowing, Nugget nuzzled up against her.

Sara lay back in the bed beside Nyssa.

The brunette instantly curled around her again.

Sara continued patting Nugget's head.

Purring, the kitten curled further into her just as Smokey climbed up the side of the bed. The other kitten curled up at Sara's side.
