"Underneath The Tree"

Omniscient

"You really not gone tell me?"

"No, and you better not be snoopin either-" Tiana pointed a finger, to which Journee playfully tried to bite. "I ain't playin' with you Rose-"

"Okayyy," the woman's neck exasperatedly rolled like a teenager being scolded. "I ain't gonna snoop..... Plus I couldn't find the presents anyway," she mumbled, causing Tiana to playfully push her.

"I knew it-"

"Wait come backk, I'm just jokinn-" she reached for the woman's waist as they laid in bed. And Tiana shot a look as Journee pulled her closer. "Okay maybe a little-"

"Journee." She couldn't help her smile as the singer grimaced sweetly. "You just can't help yourself can you?"

"I really can't, I've always been that way," she chuckled. "But I promise, I'll try my hardest." Her smile grew as Tiana held up her pinky. "Tee."

"I'm not playin' no games with you Celeste," she sat up on her elbow. "Gimme your finger."

"Fine," her accent came through as her hand reluctantly drew up. And her eyes rolled when Tiana locked their pinkies. "Can I at least have a hint?"

"No."

"Ughhh-"

Tiana chuckled with her head propped in her hand. "Now look who's impatient." She giggled at the squint Journee gave her. "You such a kid sometimes-"

"Says the girl who cries over commercials."

"I told you not to speak of it-" Tiana gasped with a push to Journee's shoulder, making the woman laugh. "That's confidential information."

"Ain't nobody here but us Tee." Rolling slightly on top of her, she closed the space between them. "It's alright sweetheart your secret's safe with me..." she followed the whisper with a soft kiss.

It'd been yet another late night after work for the two. And they'd spent the midnight hours laying in bed chatting after showering and throwing on pajamas. Today was mostly spent sleeping, which meant neither of them were exactly tired at the moment.

With Christmas around the corner, Tiana would use any excuse she could to get away on her own to go shopping. Though it'd been hard, given Journee paid attention to almost everything. She'd resorted to hiding the singer's presents in Coco's car, and hiding her best friend's presents in her own.

She found out about Journee's snooping problem once she caught the woman peeking at Coco's gift bag, thinking it'd been hers. It was then that she was glad she never brought any of Journee's presents inside the house.

The woman simply couldn't be trusted.

Ending their heated makeout with a slow and amorous peck, Journee withdrew back to hover a bit over Tiana. Hands held onto her waist while caressing her back underneath her nightgown. And as their eyes roamed one another's features, she smiled just barely.

"How're you not tired of me yet?"

"Oh honey I could never get tired of you..." Laying a hand to her cheek, Tiana then smirked. "You keep me young."

Journee giggled softly. "We ain't but a year apart Tee.".

"Yeah but y'knoww I gotta cookkk, cleann, teach you to drivee, chase you round the houseee," she sighed with a smile and shrug. "It's just a full time job."
