What a Girl Wants

Chapter Twenty

Opening her room, she heard soft music playing. Gabby met at the door in a bra and a pair of shorts. Mandy's heart almost stopped. She looked so good. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Mandy said lying again. She put her hands on her girlfriend's chest and tried for a kiss.

Gabby backed up. "No, something is clearly wrong."

"I want to tell my parents about us." The older woman didn't speak. "It's not fair that I'm in love with someone amazing and I can't be open about it because I'm... I'm scared."

"I'm not pressuring you, Miranda." Mandy twisted her lips. "I mean, I did get mad that day at the beach and I'm sorry, but I didn't know how hard I'd take it with you just calling me your friend. I didn't mean for you to have to.... you know, come out to your cousin. I'm so, so sorry."

Mandy held up her hand before her eyes started to water. "It's okay."

Gabby blushed. "But I would never, I mean, ever try to force your hand to come out to your parents, no matter what you call me. Just... do it when you're ready. Or not at all..."

Mandy ground her teeth, having to stop herself before she caused damage. "I'm so confused."

"I know." Gabby's compassion made her smile. And it was just another reason to love her. "Whenever you're ready."

"I just... I think my mom suspects that we like each other, but I don't—I wouldn't even know how to start the conversation." She sat on her bed. Gabby sat next to her. "Sorry. I'm ruining the mood."

"Eh, this is what I get for dating a freshman," she said touching her chin.

Mandy cut her eyes at her girlfriend before smiling. They kissed unhurriedly. She got her second taste of Gabby's tongue for the day and nearly ascended to the heavens. "Mmm. This makes me feel better." They fell onto the bed holding each other.

"In other news, my parents really like you."

"I was so nervous. I hope I didn't say anything stupid." Gabby shook her head and grinned. "And my parents like you, too."

"Because they don't know I'm your girlfriend."

"Does it bother you?" She played with a stray braid dragging it along Gabby's skin making her shiver.

The sophomore didn't respond for a long while. "Honestly?"

"Yes, babe." She held her breath unsure of what Gabby was going to say.

"It does." Mandy's heart ripped the tiniest bit. Of course it bothered her. The freshman was being naïve if she thought otherwise. "But, but, but... only because it bothers you. I want you to not be filled with turmoil. But, for me, it doesn't matter. I love you anyhow." They were silent between long kisses. Mandy's hands found the band of Gabby's shorts and she tugged them down a little, caressing her ass. Hushed moans by the sophomore told the freshman to get on top. Mandy's shirt was over her head and tossed to the side and her bra was unhooked and dropped to the floor.

Mandy's breasts fell into Gabby's face and they were moistened with the help of a painstakingly slow tongue. Her breathing was staggered and she was afraid she'd pass out, but she did nothing to stop it. She leaned down for a kiss, sliding a hand around Gabby's neck, pressing her finger pads into her skin gently and plowing her tongue into her mouth, needing more than what she was getting. "Gabby."

"Yes, baby?" She slapped Mandy's ass, squeezing it, teasing a finger between her cheeks. Licking her fingers, she did it again. "You're so soft!" She whispered.

Pushing up Gabby's bra, Mandy sampled her girlfriend's areolas rocking against her leg. "What did you have for me?" She asked grinning while she softly nibbled on Gabby's nipples.
