To Jupiter and back

Chapter 14

As the sun gently peeked through the curtains, Billie slowly stirred in Jupiter's comforting embrace. Last night had been a breathtaking experience, a culmination of love and trust between the two women. But amidst the euphoria, one thought lingered in Billie's mind—the blue fish they had yet to name.

"Jupiter," Billie whispered, gently shaking her girlfriend. Jupiter responded with a soft groan, tightening her hold around Billie.

"Baby, Im starving ," Billie said, leaning in for a kiss as Jupiter looked up at her.

"Maybe another round?" Jupiter mumbled, her words laced with desire. Her morning voice melting Billie's knees.

"I'd love to, but I feel my stomach yarn for food" Billie whispered, kissing Jupiter's forehead and reluctantly leaving the warmth of the bed. She made her way to the closet, hastily putting on some underwear and a t-shirt.

In the kitchen, Jupiter's phone buzzed relentlessly on the counter. Billie glanced at the caller ID—Wendy.

"Junie, Wendy's calling you," Billie called out, heading back to the bedroom only to find Jupiter lying on the bed, completely naked.

"Damn, what does that woman want now?" Jupiter sighed, taking the phone from Billie's hands and planting a kiss on her cheek.

"Hey, Wends," Jupiter answered the call.

"I've been trying to reach you nonstop! Where have you been?" Wendy's voice resonated with frustration.

"I was having the time of my life, dude, calm down," Jupiter replied, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"You just launched a new book. We've scheduled a signing for five pm, and an interview for Monday," Wendy informed, her efficiency shining through.

"Okay, thanks, I guess," Jupiter hung up, letting out a sigh. All she wanted was to spend more time with Billie.

"Baby, when do you need to leave?" Jupiter asked, observing Billie cooking something delicious on the stove.

"I think I need to be at the studio by three pm," Billie replied, deftly flipping a pancake in the pan.

"We have plenty of time together," Jupiter trailed off mischievously, her hands finding their way to Billie's waist as she planted gentle kisses on the back of her neck.

"Junie, I'm starving. After breakfast, okay?" Billie groaned, slightly overwhelmed by the sensations evoked by Jupiter's lips.

Billie quickly plated the pancakes, and they sat down at the table.

"What are you up to today?" Jupiter asked, eager to know Billie's plans.

"I'm recording a new song with Finneas," Billie replied, savoring a mouthful of pancake.

"Why haven't I heard it yet? You know I'm your girlfriend, and you're legally obligated to sing to me," Jupiter teased, taking bites of her own breakfast.

"Legally, huh?" Billie chuckled, her eyes locked with Jupiter's. A small smudge of jam on Jupiter's cheek caught Billie's attention.

"You have something right here," Billie pointed, gesturing towards Jupiter's cheek.

Jupiter tried to wipe away the marmalade but only managed to smudge it further. Billie giggled and tenderly wiped Jupiter's cheek, overwhelmed with happiness and affection.

"Do we have ice cream?" Jupiter inquired, playfully diverting Billie's attention.

"I believe there's a tub of avocado ice cream," Billie responded, placing her plate in the sink.
