Fingers Crossed |A Girl X Girl Story| ((DISCONTINUED))

O N E

I walk along the halls, chest out and head high, a smirk placed on my plump lips. My jeans ripped in places most would find uncalled for and tank top shorter than it should be, showing off my belly button piercing.

"Aphrodite!" A small squeak sounds and I turn slowly on my heel, right eyebrow raised at the petite girl in front of me.

"Uh Uhm.. I was wondering if that was a one time thing or... If you would uh- like to use my uh- services again.." She says quietly, a deep blush covering her freckled cheeks. I play with my lip ring and smirk at her nervousness.

"I will call you if I need you." I say confidently, in which causes her to beam up at me.

"Okay!" She says.

"Down with the confidence," I smirk. "I like the innocent ones." And with a wink I strut away.

Coming into a noisy house isn't what I would call paradise. And I do what pleases me, so you can imagine I didn't go home after work. I walk down the cold streets with my hands stuffed into my front jean pockets. Just as I am about to turn and walk back to my hotel, long curly chestnut colored hair catches my eye. I take another look just as she turns towards me. She seems to look directly into my eyes, her lips parted from what I can see. I run my hand through my messy hair and lift my combat boot, making my way towards her petite figure.

"Couldn't help but catch an eye on such a gorgeous creature." I announce, her eyes widening and her cheeks turning a light pink, making me want to kiss them.

"T-Thank you.." She stutters.

"Aphrodite." I say proudly. "Aphrodite Callings."

"S-Stella Grace." She says in a quiet voice.

"And why might you be wondering the streets," I ask, leaning on a light pole to my right. "Alone?"

"Uh I- I'm new." She replies.

"Need help around?" I ask and she nods, blushing.

"That would be great!" She says. "I greatly appreciate it."

"Where are you staying?" I avoid her thanks.

"Uhm actually that's what I was looking for.." She looks down. "You see, I just got out of the orphanage and I don't have much.." A tear falls down her fluorescent cheek and I tilt her head up with my thumb resting on the front of her chin and my forefinger curled underneath it. I wipe it away slowly with my other hand and a spark goes through me.

"Don't worry, princessá, you can stay with me in my hotel." I smile and she beams up at me. "I'm about to get a flat anyway."

"N-No I don't want to be a burden!" She exclaims.

"Nonsense." I roll my eyes. "Now come." I demand.

She nods and walks slightly behind me with her head bowed as is walk my way to the hotel.

I walk into it and walk up the stairs to my room, occasionally glancing over my shoulder to make sure she is still there.

We exit the stairway and onto my floor, the 7th, and I pull out my key. I walk over to my room and look up at it.

390 MISS CALLINGS

I unlock it as Stella stares at my door.

"Coming in?" I call and she scurries in.

My phone goes off and I aggressively tap the 'answer button' as Stella watches me.

"Hello?" I say angrily.

"Aphrodite?" A small, whiny voice asks.

"No it's Zeus," I snort and roll my eyes.

"I'm sorry I just-" Sniffle. "Miss you so much." Sob.

"Make it quick I don't have time for your drama right now, Emilia." I huff.

"Please come back to me! It couldn't have been a one time thing-"

I hang up and grumble, glancing over at Stella as she looks at me with a shocked expression.

"What?" I snap slightly.

"Who was that?"

"Emilia."

"Why did you yell at her?"

"Because she was crying about some one night stand." I grumble in response. "I don't have time for that."

"Wait," She double-takes. "Your Lesbian?" She asks.

"Yeah, so?" I snap and she cowers away.

I rub my face, aggravated at myself.

"I'm sorry." I retort. "I didn't mean to snap at you."

"I-It's okay.."

"Cmon I'll show you where you'll be staying." I say and she follows me into my room. She looks at me skeptically and I laugh.

"I won't try anything." I say and take a few steps towards her, so I'm looking down at her. "Unless you ask me to." I wink and she blushes.

"O-O-Of course not!" She laughs nervously.

"Mhm." I hum in response.

I walk to the bathroom and change. I hand her one of my oversized jerseys and she takes them greatfully. I hand her some smaller leggings of mine and she walks to my bathroom after thanking me.

"Aphrodite!" I grumble and open my left eye, half of my face stuck into the pillow.

"Can I Uhm- can you.. Cuddle me? Please?" She blushes furiously and I nod, snaking my arms around her waist and pulling her into my chest.

"Une créature au clair de lune est un beau (A creature in the moonlight is a beautiful one)." I mumble against the skin of her neck.

"Is that French?" She asks, shocked.

"Mhm."

"Impressive." She giggles and I hum in response.

"Bonsoir, Princessa (Goodnight, Princessá)." I mumble and kiss her neck, causing her to shiver in response.

"Bonsoir, Aphrodite (Goodnight, Aphrodite)." She whispers and I smile against her skin at the sound of her saying my name.
