Roommates | Kate & Ana

Chapter 8- The Apartment

I blink, disoriented, as I take in my surroundings. It's morning. I can tell by the sunlight coming through the window and the sound of the busy street below us. I'm halfway on the couch and halfway on the floor. I release my grip on the edge of the couch and sit up, nearly falling off the couch in the process. "Shit." I bury my face in my hands and rub my eyes until all I'm seeing is color splotches. Then I remember last night, Kate's hands on me, massaging me, then later her lips, kissing me everywhere, and me kissing her back. A smile forms on my lips as I look up, only to see Kate standing in front of me. I jump back, startled for a second, then laugh at myself for jumping. "Hey." Kate smiles warmly at me. She's fully dressed with her hair and makeup done and everything. How long was I asleep? "Good morning, sleepy head. You were out for a long time. Tell me, was it the tea or the sex?" I giggle. "Good morning, Kate." I look around and see she's added more packed boxes to our collection. She must've already packed all the essentials we left out when we packed yesterday. "Hey, what time is it?" I question, rubbing my eyes again. "It's a little after ten. Josè and Elliot are coming over soon to help us move all this to the new apartment." Ten? Damn. I did sleep for a long time. "Right, Okay. Um.....did you already pack the stuff from the bathroom?" I ask. "Most of it. I left out your toothbrush and everything so you can clean up before we leave." She takes a seat on the couch next to me, barely even leaving an inch of space between us. "Thanks." I look her up and down, just now getting a good look at her. She's wearing fitted jeans that show off her perfectly sculpted hips and legs, a plain black long-sleeved shirt, and simple black boots. Holy fuck, those jeans..... She looks hot. I bite down on my lip hard. "I like your outfit. It's....sexy." She smirks at me, amused. "Oh, you think?" I nod, my cheeks flushing crimson. She smiles triumphantly and reaches out, holding my face in one hand. She leans in and kisses me passionately, completely taking my breath away. Then she abruptly pushes me away and pulls me into a standing position. "Go get dressed and cleaned up, my sweet Ana. Elliot and Josè will be here any minute." She then smacks my backside, making me gasp. I turn to look at her, shocked, but quickly compose myself. I run off to the bathroom, smiling to myself. In the bathroom, I brush my hair and teeth. Then I dress in a pair of jeans and Kate's flannel she left laying out for me. Kate's shirt is a little too big on me, but I like it. I prefer most of my shirts to be baggy anyway. When I'm done I pack everything Kate left out for me into one of the boxes and prepare myself for all the work ahead of us today.

As Elliot and Josè move our tv onto its stand in the center of the living room, Kate spins me around in our desk chair, making me giggle. "Alright, what's next?" Elliot asks, interrupting Kate and I's play time. "We've gotta unpack all the kitchen stuff and then I think there's a few more boxes in my room." Kate says. "I can get the boxes in your room." I offer, starting to get up, but Kate puts her hand on my chest, stopping me. "That's okay, Ana. Let mama do the work." Kate winks at me and my jaw drops. I can't believe she just said that in front of Elliot and Josè. I look up to see if they noticed, but they've already moved to get the boxes out of Kate's room. She gives me one last spin, then she starts unpacking our box of kitchen supplies. "Oh, Ana! Call Pizza Hut and order us a pizza, if you can!" Kate yells from the other room. I spin myself around one more time in my chair, then I call to order our pizza.

When the pizza gets here, Kate's the first to grab a slice. She turns towards me and shoves it in my face. "Oh!" I jerk back for a second, then I realize what she's doing and I bite into it. She takes the uneaten part from me and takes a bite off the portion that's left. Then she bends down and licks the stray pizza sauce of the corner of my mouth, her tongue gliding across my lips in the process. I laugh it off, trying to hide my discomfort from Josè and Elliot as Kate smirks at me. She knows exactly what she's doing.

The boys leave for the night, after helping us unpack everything and Kate ushers them out. I really like Elliot, I didn't realize how much fun he was until today. Although I get the feeling he likes Kate a lot more than me, maybe a little too much. "Elliot sure was going out of his way to flirt with you today. He must like you." I look at Kate curiously, watching for her reaction. She smiles cheekily, approaching me slowly. "Ooh, is that jealously I hear in your voice, Miss Steele?" She raises her eyebrows, perching herself on the end of the couch right next to me. I shrug, looking down at the floor. "He was flirting with you too, silly." She smacks my shoulder playfully. "He flirts with everyone. That's just what Elliot does. He's a huge flirt. He probably even hit on Josè at some point today." She explains. Now I feel silly. I've really gotta reign in the jealousy. I'm acting ridiculous. "Kinda like you?" Kate swats my arm again. "Hey, I'm not that bad!" She whines, making me giggle. "You're right. Elliot's a dog and you're more of a puppy." For a second I imagine Kate as a puppy and the mental picture makes me giggle. "A pretty golden retriever puppy." I add. "Exactly!" She screams, bursting into laughter. I smile, watching her. Her laughter is like music to me. She takes a deep breath, trying to stop laughing, but her lips stay turned up into a huge smile and I know she's barely keeping it together. "Alright, puppy. Why don't you stop laughing and come be a cute little puppy over here?" I pat the section of the couch next to me, like I would if I were trying to convince a real puppy to come sit with me. Kate giggles, then she hops off the edge of couch and curls her hands up in front of her like paws. She sticks her tongue out all goofy, pretending to be a dog, and gets down on all fours. Then she jumps up onto the couch and straight onto me. She dives into my lap and licks me straight across my face, getting her spit all over me. "Ugh, Kate!" I try to swat her away, but she ignores me, continuing to lick away at my face like a dog. I jump down onto the floor to get away from her, but she has me pinned down in no time. When she's finished licking my face, she moves on to lick every inch of the rest of my body.
