Unlikely Conditions

Chapter 20

Keegan held open the restaurant door as Meadow followed her out with a smile. She adjusted the hem of her skirt before walking by her side. She glanced up at Keegan as she suddenly stopped in her tracks to stare at the black car parked across the road from them.

"Is everything okay?" She asked as Keegan stood in silence as she focused on the car before she was suddenly taken back by the slight look of fear in her eyes as she listened to the car start it's engine. Keegan grabbed Meadow's hand tightly in hers as they started running down the street. Meadow glanced back at the black car slowly trailing behind them before suddenly being pulled down an alleyway. She found herself pinned back against the wall as Keegan stood in front of her like a shield. Her palms were pressed against the wall above her head as she stood over her. Meadow looked up at the serious look plastered on Keegan's face as she glanced into the street. She could hear the sound of Keegan's racing heart as she stood over her. The last time she was in an alleyway she was being attacked by those men and Keegan was the one who came to her rescue. She felt safe when Keegan draped her leather jacket over her as she picked her up from the floor. This is that same feeling. Meadow's heart was ready to burst from her chest from the speed it was beating. She hesitated for a moment before suddenly throwing her arms round Keegan's waist tightly, burying her face in her chest as she clung to her tightly. She had no idea why Keegan suddenly ran at the sight of the car but she knew no matter what the reason was she was safe with her. Keegan was snapped back into reality by Meadow's embrace, turning her head to look down at her, Meadow lifted her head from her chest to glance up at Keegan with a soft blush covering her cheeks. Meadow's lips parted slightly as they stood in stunned silence. Their lips were only a few inches apart from each other as they stood in front of each other. Keegan pulled her hands from the wall, gently patting the top of Meadow's head as she slowly released Keegan from her grasp as she watched her peak round the corner, glancing in both directions before a soft sigh escaped her lips.

"I should probably walk you home." Keegan suggest as Meadow hugged herself with a sigh, staring down at the ground in silence.

"Sure.." She sighed before following behind Keegan in silence. There were a million thoughts racing through her mind right now and she didn't want to deal with any of them. She lifted her eyes from the floor to look at Keegan cautiously checking their surroundings as she led the way. She wanted to ask why she was acting differently all of a sudden but she didn't have the energy.

They approached Meadow's front gate slowly as Keegan turned to face her with a smile before her expression suddenly dropped from seeing Meadow standing in front of her with her eyes glossed over. She approached her slowly  before resting her hands on her shoulder.

"What's wrong?" She asked with concern. Meadow lifted her head, eyes filled with tears as she looked back at her. She sighed softly before answering.

"You probably don't want to see me after this.." She sighed, quickly wiping the tears from her face before they ran down her cheeks. Keegan was taken back, stepping away from her with confusion.

"Did I say that?" She queried with a slight displeased look on her face. Meadow simply shook her head in response, avoiding any eye contact with her.

"But back in the alley you pulled away from me.." She mumbled. Keegan thought to herself for a moment before approaching her again, resting her index finger under her chin to turn Meadow's head in her direction before tilting her head back slightly so she was looking up at her. Meadow's cheeks grew warm as she looked up at the faint grin on Keegan's face. Keegan gently rested her free hand on Meadow's waist before turning her, backing her against the small wall fencing the outside of her house. Keegan began to lean in closer to her. Their lips almost touching as Meadow stayed fixated on Keegan's dark brown eyes.

"If you wanted a kiss, all you had to do was ask. I'm not about kissing a girl without her giving me permission." She grinned as Meadow swallowed, taking a deep breath in as Keegan tilted her head back slightly further. Keegan slipped her hand onto Meadow's lower back as she pulled her body against hers, her left leg between hers.

"I still need your permission if you want this kiss." Keegan teased as Meadow slowly nodded back at her, sliding her hands onto Keegan's waist as she pressed her against her.

"Will you kiss me?" Meadow asked in a soft timid voice. The corner of Keegan's mouth turned up in a smirk as her fingertips ran across Meadow's lower back slowly.

"Good girl." She grinned, laying her lips upon hers in a slow gentle kiss. Meadow leaned into the kiss, Keegan's body pressed against hers as she found herself lost in a moment straight out of an adult novel. She could taste the diet coke that had lingered on her tongue. Her lips were soft to the touch just like she imagined they would be, a small gasp escaping as Keegan grabbed her waist her hands before suddenly lifting her and placing her ontop of the wall. Meadow parted her legs, wrapping them around Keegan as she pulled her in. Their kiss had started gentle but it slowly began to intensive, Meadow almost dizzy from the moment between them as she tugged at the collar of her shirt. She'd lost herself completely, forgetting herself as well as forgetting the fact that they were both in a public setting. Keegan's hands wondered across Meadow's inner thighs for a moment before sliding her hands back onto her waist. Meadow felt like a new emotion had been awoken inside her just from Keegan's touch. She felt sensations she hadn't felt with Declan in a long time. She knew she had to calm down before she lost herself completely. Keegan began to pull away, heart racing as she tried to catch her breath. A nervous chuckle fell from her lips as she looked back at Meadow's flustered face. She gently lifted Meadow off of the wall with a smile. Her legs were like jelly as she held onto the wall from support.

"Fuck." She chuckled as she steadied herself against the wall. Keegan leaned in again, her index finger lightly tapping at Meadow's chin to lift her head.

"Goodnight, thanks for today." She thanked her with a soft smile before placing a soft kiss on her cheek then backing away to wave goodbye. Meadow waved goodbye weakly as she tried to gather her energy to enter the house.
