Our Secret

part 19-friday-

Julia

The light peeked through the curtains, waking me up. I took a minute just to recognize where I was before I realized Vic's arm around me.

Why does it feel warmer than usually?

That's when I remembered what had happened last night. Not everything but enough to know that we were both shirtless for a reason.

I turned around to face Vic who was still sleeping. She looked so peaceful, her hair was a mess but still on the low bun.

The hickeys on her neck.

On the spot near her ear was a very dark bruise, another under her jaw and third near her collarbone.

I made those.

I smiled at myself before I remembered that my neck had to at least have as many hickeys as she did. I would have gotten up to check but I felt too light headed to even sit up.

I laid back down and snuggled to Vic's chest, letting her hold me as I fell back asleep.

2 hours later

I woke up again, this time Vic was awake as well, at least half awake.

"Good morning", she muttered, trying to cover her eyes from the light.

"Good morning", I smiled at her, "hang over much?" I asked jokingly.

I could see her smile under her arm.

"Yep, you?"

"I don't think I can sit up".

She laughed a little, "then there is no need to get up today".

"I like your Idea", I replied pulling myself back close to her.

Her hand was playing with my hair, slowly but comfortably. We laid still, facing each other. She had her eyes closed as she was too sensitive to the light.

I wasn't afraid to look at her anymore. I took in all of the smallest details of her face.

"Vic?"

She opened her eyes just enough to meet mine, "Mhm?"

"What are we?" I asked.

"What do you want us to be?"

I looked at her quiet for a moment.

She wanted to hear me say it.

"Girlfriends?"

She looked at my lips before meeting my eyes again, "Since that's what you want..".

She gave me a smirk before leaning in to kiss me. I put my hand on her cheek and kissed her back.

So that's how we spent the rest of the day, laying in bed, talking, laughing and enjoying each others company.

Around four pm we managed to get up and go get something to eat from downstairs. My head was bounding the whole time but I did my best to ignore it.

I sat at the table while Vic looked for something to eat. She had given me a bottle of water that I could take back upstairs as well.

As we were in the kitchen Castor came back from work. "I'm guessing that is your breakfast?" He said nodding towards the plate that Vic had gathered.

"Very much so", Vic answered.

That's when I remembered the hickeys on her neck as well as the ones on mine. She didn't seem to remember or care about them but I could feel my face get red from embarrassment.
