Crush 2021 (Tamber)

Chapter 10: floating

I'd decided before the night of the party I'd spend time with Tara, just the two of us. We had waffles for brunch and went into a few thrift stores together before ultimately going back to her place. We made it in and went upstairs to Tara's room, throwing all of our little shopping haul all over her bed.

I playfully pushed Tara onto the bed and got on top of her, showering her with kisses.

"I love you." She said, holding my face.

"I love you more." I said, beginning to kiss her again before she could argue.

We kissed momentarily before Tara's phone rang, interrupting the all too sweet sounds of nature outside and the faint sounds of our kisses.

"Who's that?" I asked, sitting up.

She picked up the phone, looking at the screen. "My mother." She said, annoyed.

"Answer, it's okay." I said.

I kissed her cheek and started hanging some of her thrift clothes for her.

After a good five minutes, I heard Tara hang up and went back over to sit next to her. "What'd she want?"

Tara rolled her eyes, tossing her phone to the pillows behind her.
"Nothing. She just called to say she's gonna be gone for a week."

"I'm sorry, beautiful."

"It's nothing I'm not used to." She said, folding her arms.

"Doesn't mean it hurts any less, hm?"

She looked over at me somberly and then leaned into my arms.

"This doesn't have to be a sad day." I said, holding her.

"What should we do?" She asked, looking ahead of us.

"There's tequila in your fridge and a pool in the backyard." I nudged her.

"Okay, but for safety, don't get stupid drunk." She said, sitting up.

I laughed mischievously. "Let's gooo."

~~~

It was sunny out with a little bit of wind, not chilly, but just enough to keep you from catching a heat stroke.

Tara and I put on matching once piece bathing suits and swam around in the pool for a while.

"I'm gonna get the drinks." I said, swimming to the pool side.

"Did you add apple juice, I like apple juice in mine." She said.

"But of course, madam."

I floated over with the two wine glasses.

"One for you."  I handed it over.

Lounging on pool floaties, we toasted and drank, enjoying the quiet for a bit. After a while, Tara broke the silence.

"Thank you." She said.

"For?" I looked over, confused.

"The perfect day." She smiled.

"Thank you." I emphasized. "I love date days."

"Would you stay here tonight?" She asked.

I could tell she didn't wanna be here alone. I don't want her being here alone.

"You know I will." I said.

"I'm sorry, I just get tired of this empty house. I know I act like im used to it, and maybe I am but—"

"It still sucks." I said, finishing her sentence

She nodded and tapped the side of her cup with her index finger.

"I think we're getting to a point where we need to have a talk." I said.

"I'm in trouble?" She pointed at herself, worried.

"No, baby." I laughed. "I just think our communication is a little off. I'm okay with you wanting to keep a few things to yourself, but I wanna know if anything bothers you, like being here alone. You don't have to act tough or be 'the nice girl' all the time. So tell me right now. Is anything else bothering you?"

She looked slightly appalled but sighed and looked down. "I don't wanna be a jealous girlfriend."

"But?"

"I don't like Arianna being around you, and maybe that's something I need to work on. I trust you, I promise." She explained.

"So you're not fine about me hosting a party?" I said.

"It's too late now." She said. "I'm sorry, I just don't wanna control you."

I finished my drink and placed it in the floaty cup holder before getting in the water and swimming to the edge of her floaty.

"I like that you're possessive, you know." I said. "It's very sexy."

"Amber." She laughed slightly, showing her two little dimples.

"I'll give Arianna the venue for the party and hire the services and just let her know i won't be there. I'll say I'm sick." I smiled.

"You don't have to." She said.

"I want to. I want to work cohesive as a couple, and I wanna make decisions together." I said. "Decisions we both are okay with.

"Okay." She smiled sweetly.

"Okay?" I winked.

"Okayyy." She giggled.

~~~

We ordered Chinese food and were eating on Tara's bed. Both of us having heavy, sleepy eyes from all that swimming.

"Date dayy." She swayed sleepily, looking at me lying next to her.

"Date dayy." I said sleepily.

I closed my eyes a little and felt her kiss my cheek.

"Oh, Amber, what about when Anika comes?" Tara asked, worried.

"We'll take her to one of our favorite spots on the beach." I said.

"That sounds nice." She said.

I heard her clearing the food bowls off the bed, and she left the room for a second. My guess was she was throwing the trash away.

I stared at the TV half asleep until she came back in and slipped underneath the covers. I felt her move my legs and soon small kisses near my inner thighs.

"Tara." I laughed.

"What?" She giggled. "Maybe it'll help you sleep better." She said.

"Okay." I agreed.

Her kisses lingered on my inner thighs a little longer, and I soon felt the warmth of her mouth along me. Keeping my legs bent, I raised them slightly as little moans escaped my lips. Staying on my back, I reached between my legs, separating my lips and watching her tongue work.

"Amazing." I whispered. I felt myself twitching as I finished.

she slid two fingers up and down my wet folds. I let out soft moans as she did.

She soon came up to meet my lips.
I kissed her back and rolled on top of her, sliding my hand into her panties as she gasped, gripping me.

We continued, for I don't know how long before eventually we found ourselves fully unclothed, exchanging passionate kisses underneath the covers.

"I thought you were gonna help me sleep." I said, leaning over her body out of breath.

"Trust me, we'll sleep like babies after this." She replied and pulled my face back down to hers, resuming our kisses.
