Chances

Chapter 9

Here's another chapter! I'm getting smashed with assignments and exams so I'm not sure when I'll be able to update. I hope that doesn't deter anyone from reading! I appreciate the reviews and will take everything into consideration!

This is a pretty big chapter. Enjoy!

Aubrey was tending to her post-lab TA duties when she heard the lab door open again. She turned around wondering if one of the students left something in the room to find Stacie standing there timidly with her goggles back on. "Want some help?"

The blonde shrugged nonchalantly, "I just have to put these back in the stock room. No big deal."

The brunette let out a breath. "Come on, Bree. Why are you being like this?"

Aubrey turned around so Stacie couldn't see her face. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"That's bullshit and you know it. Why do you avoid me after you string me along?"

Aubrey whipped around to find Stacie made her way closer to where she was standing. "I am not stringing you along!"

"Yes you are! You know I like you and you make me think you like me too, but then you just end up ignoring me after we do anything! Why, Aubrey? Why?!" Stacie threw up her arms in exasperation.

The blonde just stared at the brunette who was breathing slightly heavy from her outburst towards the blonde. Stacie's expression softened, "Aubrey... You know I'm not trying to push things and we can do or not do whatever you want. You already know I want you and I'm not going anywhere. You just have to talk to me and tell me what you're thinking because I can't read minds. Don't shut me out."

Aubrey responded in the most timid voice possible, "I'm not stringing you along." The brunette rolled her eyes at her. "Well, what is it then? Because you go down one way and then you abruptly change lanes without using blinkers so I have no idea what the hell you're doing and it's so goddamn confusing, Aubrey! You are so damned confusing I don't even know what to do with you!"

"Me?" The blonde said incredulously, "You don't know what to do with me? That's coming from the woman who has the sex appeal to attract the straightest woman or the gayest man. I mean are you fucking kidding me? What am I supposed to do with that, let alone manage to keep up? I mean I have no fucking clue what I'm even doing! I've never been with a woman before!"

Stacie wasn't backing down. Granted this wasn't the direction she wanted this to go when she came back to the room, but they're here now and she's going all in. She stepped closer to the blond and backed her towards the wall. "No Aubrey. You can't say that. You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen so don't even think you don't compare to anyone. And do you think I've been with a woman before? Well think again, I'm not the slut everyone thinks I am. You know what? Even if I could get anyone I wanted, I don't want anyone else. I want you. But damnit, you infuriate me so much and I can't fucking stand it anymore!"

With that she pushed Aubrey against the wall, pulling off both of their goggles and grabbing the sides of the blondes face before smashing their lips together in a bruising kiss filled with want and desperation. The act took Aubrey by surprise, but she quickly reciprocated and fell into the kiss allowing Stacie to snake her tongue into her mouth as they battled for dominance. The kiss was like none other, causing shivers to run down both of their spines despite the harshness of the kiss. They broke briefly for air and Aubrey growled into Stacie's mouth "I like you so fucking much I don't know what to do with myself." Stacie moaned and they smashed their lips together once again. They knocked over some glassware and that brought Aubrey back to her senses, realizing they were still in the lab room. She pulled away from the brunette, both of their chests heaving and their eyes boring into one another. "I need to finish here, but we should... talk. Maybe after practice?"
