"Above The Velvet Avenue"

Omniscient

"That is not how I do it!" Journee exclaimed through a giggle, throwing a wave while sitting against the headboard.

"Yes you do," Tiana snickered, standing at the foot of their bed. "You sway your hips like this, then you do this cute little giggle and twirl, and this little two step-"

Doing the movements while she spoke, Tiana giggled once her lover brought a pillow in front of her face in bashful embarrassment, bringing her knees to her chest.

"Oh Lord-"

"No baby look, this the best part," she waved her hands in laughter. "'Cause then you do this little sashay 'cross the stage- I actually have no idea how you do that, it look like you be floatin.' And then, there's the twirl again, and you blow a cute lil kiss to em-"

Journee moderately shook her head, an adoring grin tugging her lips. "I can't believe you know all this by heart..."

"Oh honey 'course I do," Tiana smiled, mounting on the bed to crawl towards her lover. "You expect me to be lookin' at anything else while you onstage?"

Eyeing the woman now hovering above while sliding her legs down to allow Tiana's body full access atop of hers, Journee beamed softly, her smile soft and serene. Her head tilted back a bit as Tiana's face neared closer, their lips brazing one another's and their gazes steeply keen.

Receiving a ginger kiss, Journee leaned up for another, feeling as if her lover was much too far away.

It was approaching past midnight now as the two women enjoyed their usual time together after hours and before bed. Tiana had just come home from work, finding Journee doing homework that she'd assigned and meant to check the next day. She expected it to be a breeze no doubt, for the woman had been acing every quiz and test so far.

Finding herself straddling Journee's lap, with the assistance of hands reaching for her waist to sit her there, Tiana brought her hands to the singer's face.

Soft curls brushed her fingertips as their mouths moved about with fond devotion.

Pulling away with a subtle smack, Tiana then trailed her lips up to the woman's forehead, both hands cradling her face with care. Honey brown eyes were staring with deep love upon her afterwards, roaming her features and captivating her gaze.

A mesmerizing daze had washed over her. In fact, it'd settled onto both of them. Neither could force themselves to look away with even the utmost amount of strength.

Bringing a hand from around Tiana's waist, Journee swirled a coil of the woman's thick hair around her index finger, drawing her focus from it to Tiana's lips, then the line of her jaw, and the shape of her brow.

Landing back on her eyes at last, her breath went shallow and without air. It caused Tiana to grow shy under such a gaze, though before her attention could timidly falter, Journee whispered fairly between them.

"Would you marry me?..."

In disbelief of what she'd heard, Tiana's brows drew delicately, her every movement and every breath slowing to a stop. "W-What??..."

Gazing still, Journee couldn't help her slowly forming smile, a hint of playfulness now in her whispered words. "Would you. Marry me?"

"...Marry you??..."

"That's what I said sweetheart..."

Sitting back a bit on her lap as Journee's hand held her waist close, Tiana merely blinked. "You're serious??"
