The Beginning.

Chapter 13: Are you sure?

-October 23rd, 1993-

The rest of the evening mostly consisted of consuming very entry-level fried chicken and pie that Simon and Kate had brought round later in the evening.

"Okay Si that was actually pretty good." Deena admitted while shovelling pie into Sam's mouth. She was sitting on Deena's lap.

"Told you so." Simon gobbled.

Kate and Josh were sitting next to each other at the table. Josh noticed that Kate had a bit of cream on her upper lip. "Oh you've got a bit of uh-" Josh had just finished rambling about gaming and the history and superstitions of Shadyside. He reached his thumb up to her face but she turned away and wiped herself with a napkin.

"Ah, thanks." Kate smiled nervously. This could've been perceived as awkward but actually it was more anxiety and attraction.

Deena coughed and broke the silence before Simon could crack a suggestive joke.

"Uh, Sam and I are going to go for a walk." Deena announced. "We'll save the rest of the pie for later." She finished, knowing Simon would be disappointed they didn't eat all of it.

"Can we join?" Simon asked. Deena and Sam both widened their eyes at him. Josh and Kate noticed this and had a giggle with each other.

Simon realised. "Oh, oh nope yep we'll just stay here and finish this delicious cream pie." You could see he wanted to say something else. "I hope you enjoy yours..." He snickered and sat down.

"Shut up Si" Deena scoffed playfully. "We'll see you guys on Monday." Deena said as she intertwined her fingers with Sam's and they headed out the door.

"This is nice." Sam smiled, looking down at their hands that were holding each other's. It rarely happened in public.

"I know." Deena replied chirpily. They were both feeling really happy. It'd been such a good evening.

Deena abruptly stopped under a dimly-lit street light. Sam searched her expression for what could be going through her mind. "You ok?" Sam asked.

Deena reached her hand out to Sam. "Can we have this dance?" She mimicked.

Sam let out a laugh. "You're such a DOOFUS." She waddled over to Deena submissively.

"C'mon." Deena beckoned her.

For a short while, the pair held onto each other and slowly danced in circles peacefully under the spotlight. Deena attempted to hum generic 50's jazz jokingly as they spun in unison.
Everything felt right. Everything felt simple. Warm, and just...right.

"I think I love you Sam." The words rolled off Deena's tongue without effort or thought.
They continued to dance slowly.

"I think I love you too." Sam replied after a pause. She was too busy smiling and pressing herself closer to Deena to manage anything.
It was something about the way Sam said it that made her soul melt.
They broke away. "Can I take you home?" Deena asked, sparkles in her eyes.

By the time they got back to Deena's place, fortunately everyone had dispersed. Kate and Simon went home, Josh was downstairs gaming, and Deena's dad was unconscious on the couch surrounded by empty beer cans and regret for the life he let slip away from him.

Deena led Sam to her room with her hand. They tiptoed up the stairs and Sam gently shut the door behind them.
For a few seconds they just stared at each other, an overwhelming and intimate energy surrounded them. They both knew what was about to happen, and the tension of the moment seemed too much to bare - until it wasn't.

Deena stepped closer to Sam and began to place soft kisses down her neck down to her chest. Sam tilted her head back and let out a breath.
Deena looked back up at her. "Are you sure?" She asked with care.
Sam didn't say anything, only pressed her lips to Deena's passionately and slid her tongue in and out of her mouth.
"Okay I'll take that." Deena concluded through giggles during the make-out.
Sam giggled back. There was no stopping them.

Slow music played in the background as they quickly became tangled in the sheets. Deena let her frizzy hair fall over Sam's breasts as she glided her tongue over her stomach and then unbuttoned Sam's jeans. They got stuck over her ankles which made them both laugh at themselves. It felt so natural.

"Is this ok?" Deena asked, making sure Sam was comfortable.
"Ye-yep." Sam could barely get her words out as Deena started to place kisses on her inner thighs.
Deena made eye contact as she first licked Sam's centre, after some teasing.
Immediately Sam's back arched and moans involuntarily escaped.
Deena smiled as she noticed how much pleasure Sam was feeling. It didn't take long before she pressed Deena's head into her crotch as a wave of heat flowed down between her legs. Sam's body quivered and shook as Deena made her way back up and leant over her.

"I did good?" Deena asked.
Sam just laid there, flushed and in ecstasy. Eventually she nodded and pulled Deena close to her, wrapping her arms over her body and kissing her cheek continuously.
As soon as she recovered, she spun Deena around so she was laying down.

"Can I? Sam stuck her two fingers in her mouth and slipped them underneath Deena's underwear.
Deena was lost for words after seeing Sam do this action.
"Please." She replied with desperation.

Sam teased her for a while, tracing around her hard nipples and around her vulva before sliding her fingers into Deena.
She began to pulsate faster as Deena squeezed Sam's hand and tried not to make any noise, her thighs buckling.
Before she climaxed, Sam pulled the covers over them both before she slid down the bed and gently licked Deena's centre - wanting to return the favour.
It only took a few seconds before Deena was gasping for air, muscles twitching and heat erupting.

They both laid there, naked, physically and emotionally. There was something so intimate about just breathing together.
"I think we needed that." Sam turned to look at Deena with a smile.
"I think you're right." Deena flared her nostrils and brought Sam's hand to her mouth, placing a kiss on it.

Sam pulled Deena's arm over her tummy so she could be the little spoon.
No more words were spoken. All the words had been spoken through action and affection.

This is it. This is love, they thought.
And now, they both knew they felt it. They knew they felt it for each other.
