Did You Get Enough Love

11. Healing Hearts

   

    Your body had awoken the next morning stiff, with on arm hanging off the couch and the other surrounded by the strong arms of another. You stirred around slowly awakening the other woman.

Your head lay propped up on her chest watching with sleepy eyes. Her eyes fluttered before peering down at you. "Good morning." The brunette smiled running her fingers through your hair. "Good morning." You reply in a husky voice. "Your bed head is really cute." You frantically brush your own fingers through the stands trying to tame them. Ally chuckles.

    Silence blankets the living room as you still lay in each other's comfort. That is until Ally got up to make breakfast. "French Toast, Waffles, or Pancakes?" She asked from the kitchen as you made your way over to her, lightly resting your hands on her shoulders and whispering; "Surprise me." Ally smiles doing just that.

You were pouring a cup as she lightly and briefly wrapping her arms around your waist before grabbing something from the refrigerator.

    "Wanna help me?" She turns back around whispering in your ear. With a smirk you trail behind the older woman as she gathered the ingredients.

    It was a matter of minutes that flour was all over the counter and your face. "You got a little something.." Ally says wiping your cheek free of the powder with her thumb smiling goofy.  "Wait so do I put the milk in before or after?"  You stood over the recipe book not noticing how Ally looked at you.

    The feeling was domestic. Normally this would worry the woman ever since Ivy, but you seemed to relieve her anxiety and fulfill her trust in love. You made her feel like she could be loved again.

   "After." Ally stands behind you and  takes her hands placing them over top of yours helping you stir the mixture in the bowl. "Like that, good." You felt your heart beating out of your chest. You were for sure that Ally could hear it. Your cheeks were beat red and your face felt hot. Suddenly her touch release and you let out a breath you did t know you were holding.

    The food was done and you two were sitting in a comfortable silence enjoying the other's company. "So, I have to pick up Oz from his grandparents. Do you want to have dinner with us later?" Meeting her son so soon?

Being their neighbor, you had seen Oz playing in the yard or coming home from school, but you had never actually talked to him before.

"Sure, that sounds great."

5:30pm~

Ally said dinner would be ready by six giving you a solid half and hour. Although you suggested on helping her, she refused and told you to go back home to get ready. Now, You were doing your makeup at the vanity. Touching up your eyeliner, your phone buzzed making you jump and leaving a black streak under your eye. "Damn it." You wiped it off.

"Can we talk?"

Picking up the phone you roll your eyes. You can't have one peaceful evening. Ignoring her attempts, you finish putting on your face and adding any jewelry.

Phone buzzes again.

"I can see you read it. Please just talk to me."

You turn off read receipts for Billie. And your phone on silent. Standing in the mirror pleased with how you look. Your phone goes off again. "Oh fuck off." You yell at the screen.

"Ready, pretty? x"

Immediately blushing at the name and regretting your outburst.
