[GL] Black Gold

Chapter 53

Théa put the same amount if not more effort into this second pajama party. She bought even more food despite them being only two and having Indian food left. Camie did frown seeing all that food on the table:

"How long am I going to stay here?"

Théa immediately straightened up:

"You can stay as long as you want.

-With all this food I would need to stay here for a week.

-Okay."

Théa looked so serious that Camie had no idea if she should laugh or worry. She chose to ignore it and walked back to the living room.

"What should we watch tonight?

-I heard about a new show that just came out."

Camie grabbed the controller and started looking for the show Théa was telling her about. When the miniature came up she was surprised.

"Is this a lesbian show?"

Théa looked nervous for some reason. She didn't seem to be able to find the cooking time on the pizza box.

"Yes. I thought that you would like it."

Camie read the synopsis and nodded:

"It sounds great. Let's watch that."

Théa started lighting candles and turned off the lights. She brought only one blanket and sat very close to Camie. The latter didn't mind at all and got closer to Théa. Their shoulders were touching at that point and surprisingly Camie didn't mind at all. She did feel her shoulder more than usual but that was all.

The show was rather good but a lot of characters were making unnerving decisions and Camie couldn't stop complaining:

"Why would she do that? That's just so mean."

After her fifth interjection, Camie looked at Théa. She hadn't realized how close she were before then.

"Sorry, I'll stop talking."

Théa quickly shook her head:

"Don't. I like listening to you."

Camie quickly looked away for some reason. As episodes were going, the girls were talking more than they were listening to what was going on. At some point they talked for so long that when they looked back at the screen Camie frowned:

"Who the hell is that?"

It made them laugh and the next time they started talking they stopped the show so they wouldn't get lost again. Judging by the number of episodes, Camie didn't think that they would be able to finish the show but they just couldn't stop saying just one more episode. They had been up for so long that Camie could feel her eyes getting heavy.

"Are you tired?

-Yeah...How many episodes are left?

-Two."

Camie pinched her lips. On one hand she wanted to know the end but on the other she didn't have the strength to stay awake for so much longer. Seeing her half asleep made Théa smile:

"We could finish it tomorrow."

Camie nodded and she followed Théa back to her room. She didn't even realize that she already started crawling on the left side of Théa's bed. Seeing her curl up on her bed, Théa couldn't help staring. She spent so long looking at the scene that Camie had to open her eyes again:

"Théa?"

The latter finally woke up and turned the lights off. Camie felt her lying down next to her and once again she couldn't help rolling closer. Not that it mattered at that point. They did spend hours sitting very close to each other, their shoulders and knees touching.

Feeling Camie so close, Théa gave her time to move away. However, feeling that she wasn't trying to, she asked:

"May I ask you a question?

-Of course.

-How much is too much? You said that you were fine with hugs. And you grabbed my wrist earlier today.

-I don't know... I never liked touching someone before."

Théa cleared her throat:

"Do you... Would you... Do you want to find out?

-What do you mean?

-We could... Touch to see what is too much."

Camie didn't see any wrong with it so she agreed.

"May I?

-Yes."

The next second she felt warm hands touching hers.

"Is this okay?

-Yes."

Théa's thumb started rubbing Camie's hand slowly. Camie didn't mind at all and that was surprising. She just laid there, waiting for Théa to do more. Théa's hands slid up Camie's arms and she pressed her shoulders:

"What about this?

-It's fine.

-May I hug you?

-Yes."

Just like hours before, Camie found herself in Théa's arms. Having no problem with that either, Théa pulled Camie even closer towards her and her hands slid down to her waist.

"You smell good.

-Do I?

-Yes."

Théa's whisper was coming from very close and that made Camie flinch. She never really thought about her scent and she had no idea what she smelled like. Being shy, she quickly turned the compliment back towards Théa:

"You too. You smell like vanilla."

Théa's heart stopped beating for a second.

"Do you like people who smell good?

-Everyone does."

Théa laughed. Camie felt all the vibrations throughout her body and she had no idea how good it felt to be inside someone's arms. Having no idea what to do, she said the first thing that came to her mind:

"When are your parents coming back?

-Next week. My mother is on a cruise right now that will bring her back in a week. As for my father, his flight is next week. But don't worry, we could still do pajama parties. If you feel uncomfortable meeting them we could also meet the next time they are leaving. They are having another business meeting in two weeks."

Camie didn't want to scare Théa away but she wanted to touch her too. She slowly raised her hands and surrounded Théa's waist. Feeling Camie crawling closer to her made Théa's voice waver:

"I..."

Théa laughed:

"You are driving me crazy."
