Twenty-Three: Taking a Tour

Audrey giggled, giving one last sip on her milkshake before starting to get up. "Dinner was amazing, thank you so much." The actress smiled to the couple. "And thank you again, for not letting me fall onto my face." Audrey giggled, lacing her fingers with Shelby's as she straightened her purse.

"You're welcome." Both Chris and Isabella said.

Shelby squeezed her lover's hand before leading her toward the door. "Thank you, Mrs. Smith!"

"Anytime, Shel! Come back before you go home."

"We will." She smiled at the older woman before opening the door for her lover.

Audrey smiled at the older woman, finding her absolutely adorable; The fact they knew Shelby since she was a little girl never failed to amaze Audrey every time she thought of it. Passing through the door, the actress giggled, lacing their fingers together as soon as she could. "Thank you, my love." She said softly.

"What are you thanking me for, babydoll?" Shelby asked as she led her lover outside and to the road.

"For opening the door" Audrey giggled, placing a soft kiss on Shelby's cheek. "Okay but seriously now, what happened during dinner that you got all quiet, honeybun?" the actress asked softly.

Shelby bit her lip as she thought back, feeling her jealously coming back. She took a deep breath. "I was being stupid..." she mumbled.

Audrey furrowed her brows as she heard her lover's answer; She stared at Shelby, seeing her chewing on her lip. "Explain..."

"When you... held Isabella's hand, I know it was a friendly gesture, but when she caressed your hand I... I don't know. I wanted to go to the bathroom with you, but I didn't want to be rude... and then when you fell," Shelby sighed with a frustrated huff. "I'm the one who's supposed to catch you when you fall! Comfort you when you're scared like that! Not her..."

Audrey felt herself blushing a little, her chest filling with love as she realized what was going on—Her lover was jealous. "Baby, are you... jealous?" she asked softly, carefully.

Shelby sighed, she hated when she had these feeling, but gave a hesitant nod. "I'm sorry..." she mumbled.

Audrey couldn't help but bite her lip, finding her lover extremely adorable. Stopping, the actress softly turned to her lover, caressing her cheek with her free hand. "You know she's engaged to your brother, right?" she said softly. "And you know you're the love of my life, right?"

"That's why I feel like an idiot. I know I have nothing to be jealous over, yet here I am, jealous over my fiancé with my brother's fiancé..."

Audrey couldn't help but let out a giggle, hoping her lover was not going to be mad. "I'm not gonna lie... that's pretty cute." The actress confessed.

Shelby glared at the other woman for a moment. "Really? You're not mad?" she asked softly, still feeling stupid for being jealous.

Audrey caressed her lover's cheek, letting out a sweet smile. "Lovely, why would I be mad? I mean, I don't like that you feel bad because there's nothing for you to feel bad about, but I know sometimes we just can't control it." She explained.

Shelby nodded softly, finally looking into her lover's dark hues with love. "You're right... thank you." She said before kissing Audrey softly on the lips. "You mean the world to me."

Audrey smiled as she kissed her lover back, holding her closer by the waist with her hand that was before tangled in Shelby's. "I love you, silly." The actress teased before kissing her lover again.

"I love you too." Shelby smiled before pulling away. She took her lover's hand again, lacing their fingers together and playfully swinging their hands as they started to walk again. "Do you want to see the college I went to? It's right down the road."
