Our Little Loves

Chapter 23

It was the first week of May and Molly was finally home for summer. She had moved everything back from her dorm, so the small pool house was currently busting at the seams with boxes of clothes, bedding, and decor. The teenage blonde had talked to her mother a few times since the funeral, but their relationship was far from repaired. Molly planned on staying the entire summer at the pool house until she and Alicia found housing together on UW's campus, barring their acceptance.

"Alicia, wake up love, you have a doctor's appointment in an hour," Molly whispered.

"Mmm, I don't want to," Alicia groaned. She had finally gotten a good night of sleep and she was desperate to extend it even more. Alicia rolled over in the bed and clutched onto Molly's t-shirt and pulled her back into her. "I want to stay here with you." She kissed Molly's neck and closed her eyes and tried to lull herself back to sleep.

"Baby, uh-huh, you can't just kiss my neck and go back to sleep," Molly protested. Without opening her eyes, Alicia offered a sly grin. "Alicia Rose, you are naughty." The brunette shrugged her shoulders. Molly teased soft kisses along Alicia's collarbone in an effort to bring her back to life.

"Sorry, baby, maybe later, you said it's time to get up," Alicia said sassily. She hopped up out of bed and exaggeratedly stretched her arms up over her head. She slyly licked her lips and winked at her frustrated girlfriend who was sitting up in bed with her mouth hung open.

When Alicia stretched her arms up, her sleep shirt went with it. Molly noticed the scar from the procedure and jumped out of bed to stand behind her girlfriend. She ran her fingers softly along the scar and whispered into her girlfriend's ear. "You know, this scar is actually kinda sexy."

"Oh yeah?" Alicia asked. She melted into her girlfriend's touch who continued to run her hands all over her body.

"Mhm," Molly groaned. "It shows that you are a fighter." Alicia wriggled around in Molly's arms and turned so they were face to face. She pressed their lips together and tried to deepen the kiss. This time, Molly was the one who pulled away. "Sorry baby, time to go."

Alicia looked at her in pure shock. "God, we are toxic," she said jokingly. Molly walked away, but not before Alicia reached out and smacked her butt.

"You're gonna pay for that, missy," Molly said without even turning around as she walked towards the bathroom.

Alicia grumbled to herself and said, "Oh, I hope I do."

Inside the house, the wives were having a similar morning. "Bella, come back to bed, please," Carina begged. She tugged the back of Maya's shirt and tried to yank her back under the covers.

Maya bit down on her lip and almost gave in. "I have to get my run in before the crazies get up," she said. Although, wrapped up with her wife sounded a lot better.

Carina offered Maya her biggest pout and pulled the sheets down so the blonde could get a sneak peek at what she was missing out on. The blonde stopped putting on her tennis shoes and threw them across the room. The second she crawled back under the comforter with her wife, she heard a little knock at their door.

"Moms!" Benny shouted. "I'm up!"

The blonde threw her head back in frustration and Carina giggled. Maya composed herself and put her clothes back on. "Coming, bubba!"

She opened the door and the little brunette tumbled in. "Ooh, are you going on a run?" he asked. The little boy noticed that his mommy was dressed in her workout clothes and running shoes. "Can I come?"

Maya scooped up the twin and spun him around. "Of course you can! Go and get dressed and see if Matty is up. He can come too."

Benny ran out of the room and Maya turned to look at her wife who had snuggled back down in bed with the sheet pulled up over her. Sassily, Carina said, "I wanna come."
