On Love & Friendship

Chapter 7 - Truth

Jade was still sleeping, their arms still wrapped in each other, Althea adjusted her pillow, She moved a little, Her arms numb but she doesn't want to wake up Jade. She gently caress Jade's face with her other hand and kissed her forehead.  Jade's felt her lips as it touched her skin, she smiled and moves closer to her, Her face to Althea's neck. Althea can feel her warm breath, She like the feel of her soft breathing , her lips touching her skin. She locked her tighter in her arms while her other hands caress Jade's warm back. She heard Jade speak but it was more like a murmur.

" Jade....what is it? You need something Love..."

Jade slowly opened her eyes and look at Althea.
"Can you stay for tonight? I want you close to me..."
Althea smiled and holds Jade's chin, she kissed her gently.  after the kiss she speaks,her voice a little husk.
" You know I would loved too but I have an event tomorrow in Tagaytay so I need to be up early...but I'll see you as soon as I can..."

This time Jade let Althea lay on her back . She looked at Althea ,while she supports her head with her hand, she gently strokes Althea's hair. She was smiling but her eyes are troubled. She leaned forward and gave her a kiss before started to speak.

" I think I am falling in love with you Althea..."

Althea could not speak.  She was looking at Jade, as if trying to find the right words to say.

"I have asked this before...What are we now ? It was wrong when we kissed the last time and now...this...what Am I really to you?"

Althea looking intently at Jade, she traced her fingers on her lips, gently caressing her face with the back of her hand, she then started to speak..

" The truth is I think I am falling in love with you too.... and this feelings scares me. But I cannot hold it back ....I always find my self thinking about you...its been crazy. I fall deeper everytime I look at you...now I really don't know where this will lead us...but I dont care if I drown my self to you... I Love you Jade..."

Jade looked at Althea and she can see the sincerity in her eyes. Tears are slowly building in her eyes, when Jade was able to speak, those tears freely flow in her cheeks.

" I Love you too Althea..."

Then they kissed again.  Their soft lips touched again, it was sweet and warm. Althea gently suck Jade's lower lips, gliding her tongue after...like tasting it, feeling its softness.  Jade slowly stick her tongue inside Althea's mouth, Althea meet and suck it gently, It gave Jade's a different sensation, their kisses was slow.  Their lips almost sore from sucking but they cant stop...they were both addicted to this Love.

The Love they are feeling is so real,they are drowned but they dont care.
What will happen tomorrow was not their concern. They just want to make Love and  they did it again and again until their body drained all the enegy that they have.

" Oh god...I cant have enough of you...do you still want me?" Althea
Whispers in Jade's ear, she was almost laughing.
" Yes, atleast my heart and my mind says it but my body is now complaining..." Jade chuckle sweetly at Althea
Althea gave a shy laughed and hugged Jade, She then asked...

" How's my lips? It feels swollen already..."
" Don't worry...mine too..." Jade said
" Few more minutes then lets eat, and I'll go..."
They hugged again and smiled at each other.
