"Mmm...billie, you really don't have to do this."
"Something tells me you're enjoying it by the way you've been moaning for the last twenty minutes."
"Well, you have magic hands."
billie giggled. "No, actually, that would be you."
ap sighed. "Why are you so good to me?"
"Because you deserve it. And I know you're nervous about your game tomorrow."
"I'm not nervous."
"Yes you are. I can tell how tense you are in your shoulders."
ap hummed. "Well, then I suppose you should work your way up from my lower back to work on my shoulders then...you know...if you want to."
ap was lying comfortably on her stomach completely topless with her head resting on her arms as billie was straddling her hips, in her pajamas, trying to massage the knots out of her girlfriend's back. ap had been complaining about her back hurting since her last practice and she had been talking more and more about how tough the defense is on the team she was playing tomorrow. billie wanted to help her girlfriend relax and get her mind off of it.
She smiled at ap's request and moved her hands up to her shoulders, gently kneading her tense muscles as the girl beneath her sighed contentedly at the feeling.
"You're really cute."
ap buried her face in her arms. "Why? Because I'm putty in your hands?"
"Kind of."
"Well, I've never been spoiled like this before. I think you're gonna ruin me for any other woman."
"Good. Then my plan is working," teased billie.
ap moved her arms down to her sides as she rested her head directly on the sheet of the bed.
"Are you sure Luna won't walk in?"
"I'm sure. I told you, she's visiting Raven this weekend."
"Oh yeah, I forgot. My girlfriend, the matchmaker."
billie moved her thumbs over ap's neck, trying to work out the kinks. "Hey, I didn't set them up. They kind of found each other. I think Anya's more of the matchmaker for them than I am."
"True. Either way, they make a cute couple. It must be hard for them to do the long distance thing."
"Well, it's only been a few weeks since they got together. That night of the Halloween party. And they've already seen each other every weekend, so I don't think it's been too bad for them so far."
ap closed her eyes and moaned as billie's hands moved down towards her shoulder blades. billie loved it. She loved that her hands could elicit that kind of reaction from ap. She loved the way her girlfriend's skin felt against her hands. But most importantly, she loved taking care of ap. And she had a feeling the brunette wasn't exactly used to this kind of pampering. She leaned down and kissed her shoulder, then down her back.
"I really love you, ap."
ap reached around to grab billie's arm and tugged at it. billie took the hint and laid down next to her on her side with her elbow propping up her head. She gazed dreamily at her and caught the glimpse of a blush high on ap's cheeks.
"I love you, too. I'm so happy. Like really happy."
billie smiled at her and bit her lip coyly as she traced her finger along ap's back.
"Oh, by the way, I talked to my mom yesterday and she says she's going to try to make it out for one of your games soon."
ap closed her eyes, indulging in the feel of billie's finger grazing her back.
