One Last Chance

Giving Up Control

Engfa stood in front of her bedroom’s full length mirror, two hands putting in a beautiful earring into her earlobe. Her hair was done in a beautiful, elegant bun, showing off her long neck and shoulders. Her dress was floor length, held up by a pair of spaghetti straps, simple but hugged her figure perfectly and trailed behind her toned exposed back.

Suddenly, two arms wrapped gently around her waist and pulled into someone’s arms, a sweet kiss was placed on her shoulder, leaving a faint lip stain. Engfa’s lips immediately tugged into a happy smile, she turned her head in a perfect sync to kiss her girlfriend softly.

“Happy Birthday, teerak.You look beautiful.” Charlotte whispered intimately, her breath puffed against Engfa’s lips. The older woman couldn’t help but to press their lips together again. Char’s perfume filled her lungs, her taller height allowed her to lean back comfortably, her arms securely around her. Engfa relaxed in her embrace and looked at themselves in the mirror, Char’s head resting comfortably on her shoulder. 

“Thank you, bee. You look beautiful too.” Engfa sighed in content, Charlotte was in a matching color but a slightly different styled dress. It was also floor length but with a stunning halter style that wrapped around her neck. Her black, shiny hair was extended down to the middle of her back, their adjoined hands on her stomach showed the glowing diamond rings.

“This time last year, you announced our relationship to the world Fa.” Charlotte said as she looked into Engfa’s eyes lovingly in the mirror. “I love you.”

Engfa’s eyes creased into pretty moons, her dimples out for show as she touched her cheeks with Charlotte’s. She replied just as softly, “You’re right, time has passed so quickly. I never thought we’ll ever reach this point, so out and proud to the world. I love you so much, Char.”

“It has been my favorite year with you so far, my love.” Char admitted romantically, she raised Engfa’s left hand to her lips and kissed the ring. Engfa blushed happily, butterflies still flying in her stomach after so many years. She turned around and hugged her girlfriend, tugging her head in Char’s neck.

Not one for expressing long love confessions as bravely as Char, Engfa could only nod and say shyly, “Me too.”

“Shall we go now?” Char smiled and when Engfa nodded again, she held Engfa’s hand to take their handbags and led her to her porsche. She opened the door and helped her girlfriend into the car, even leaning down to put her seatbelt on before stealing a quick kiss on her lips. Engfa grinned and blushed, she could only bow her head and shake it slightly.

Char had been like this all week since their camping trip, Engfa was equally bashful and enjoying it at the same time. Their dynamic was comfortable and natural like this, they were just going with the flow. When it changes back, it will change back naturally, but for now they were both comfortable like this. In fact, there was even a hint of freshness and thrill in their relationship.

As always, Charlotte drove with one hand and put another on Engfa’s lap. They talked softly about nothing until they reached the hotel where the convention hall was located. Tonight was Engfa’s movie launch with Jeff Satur, there was already a large crowd of fans and reporters in front of the building.

When Charlotte slowed her car to a stop, flashes were already going off constantly. Their names were called out loudly with enthusiastic welcome from the reporters. Charlotte got out of the Porsche, passed the key to the chauffeur and walked around to open Engfa’s car door.

“Englot, suay mak!!!” Their fans screamed, Char and Engfa shared a smile as Char helped Engfa out like a gentlewoman. One hand protectively placed at the lower back of Engfa’s bare skin as they waved at the crowd.
