My Fair Ladies

Fire On Fire Part Two

Marjumn

Marjorie stroked the brunette's hair as she watched her sleep, wondering how she always managed to tangle herself up the way she did. She picked up her phone and tapped in the words primary partner. If she had learned anything from her time with Reece, it was that most questions could be answered with a little research.

She scrolled past a few articles on business partnerships when her eyes went wide. Polyamory? She looked down at the still slumbering brunette. She knew her and Winter's relationship was open to other women, but this was different. This was loving and nurturing multiple relationships.

As Autumn roused, she looked up at the brunette. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she looked intently at the screen. "You alright sunshine?" Both their bodies jumped when Marjorie startled. She had been so intrigued by her research she didn't even notice the brunette stir. She leaned down and pressed her lips to the brunette's. "Good morning beautiful."

"Autumn, you asked me once if I had ever been in love with more than one person. Do you remember that?"

The brunette nodded. "Yes, my love, I remember." Autumn was surprised they were doing this here and now. As long as they had been together, she had always avoided any subject until it couldn't be avoided anymore.

"Are you in love with Vivian?" Autumn scooched up and propped herself on one elbow so she could face her properly. "I think I could be. Are you in love with Siobhan?" She had turned the question around on her so fast that the brunette sat with her mouth agape for a few moments not really knowing how to respond. They had grown close, and she definitely was feeling something. "What if it isn't love? What if it is just lust? You are the first woman I have ever been with. I never really noticed women's bodies before that. Now I do. What if what I am feeling for Siobhan is just that?"

There was a sadness in her face that Autumn couldn't bear. As she sat up and pulled her into a hug, she smoothed her hair away from her face. "My love is that what you really think? Was that the first thing to draw you to Siobhan? We've known each other a long time. I have never seen you so bold as you are when you're in love. You were bold with Reece in the beginning, and then things changed. Now you are bold with me, and last night I saw you being bold with her. It is okay to be scared but please don't reduce what you are feeling for Shibby to lust. Not for me. Not for my sake."

She readjusted herself nervously before asking her next question. "You called me your primary partner. What does that mean to you, Autumn?" As her stomach growled, she look up to the brunette. "Can we move this conversation to the kitchen. I really could use some waffles." They both laughed but neither moved to get up. "I love you, sunshine, that isn't going to change. Let's go make breakfast. I am starving."

They both rose and searched for their clothes that had been thrown about the room when they returned from the pub. Marjorie had been rather drunk, but she also wasn't taking no for an answer. As Autumn remembered their night, she realised why she was so hungry. They hadn't gone to bed until half four in the morning.

They sat across the island from each other eating their waffles when Autumn broke the silence. "For me a primary partner is the one you spend the most time with. The one you are building a life with. That would only ever be you Marjorie. I could never be at home with anyone else. You are my home. After last night I realised, I may want to explore things with Vi, but I would never do that unless you and I agreed."

The brunette furrowed her brow in thought. "So, if we agree, we stay the same? We are still us. We each just have them too. We explore those emotions too." She allowed a smile to spread across her face. "I mean is that how it works?" Autumn came around the island and pulled her in at the waist before wrapping her arms around her. "It works however we want it to work my love."

"So...what do we do now?" Autumn giggled causing Marjorie to laugh. "If your 'sweetheart' is anything like my Vi, you probably just have to check your phone." The brunette raised an eyebrow before checking the screen. Three messages. Her eyes went wide, and Autumn chuckled. "If we are agreeing Vi would like to go out on Thursday after work. If that is okay with you."

"We'll still be us?" She was still nervous, but Autumn pulled her in closer. "My love, we will still be us. Always."
