TWO STORMS COLLIDE

The Space Between Us

We were all going out to the bar tonight to celebrate my first month with the 99. It was my first night out since I'd got to America, I was very excited. I started looking for something to wear as soon as I got back to my flat.

I couldn't wait to see Rosa tonight. Things had been ordinary between us since she took me to her place but we spoke all the time now, there was no awkwardness. Well unless you count me blushing and getting butterflies whenever she's around.

I decided on one of my favourite grunge shirts to wear as I didn't want to wear a dress for once. I completed the look with a pair of fishnets under jeans, my ankle boots and a choker.

I kept my makeup subtle, focusing on my eyes. When I finished, I jumped in the car and made my way to pick up Gina. The bar is only round the corner from Rosa's so she said I could leave my car there and crash overnight if I wanted.

Rosa opened her door and I stopped breathing, she looked so beautiful. She was wearing a tight black dress with her leather jacket over the top. Like me, she went for the smokey eye look with cat eyeliner.

Rosa: Wow Jade you look good.
Me: Um thanks, so do you.
Gina: So do you Gina.
Rosa: I've seen you wear that outfit hundreds of times Gina. I can only say it so many times before it gets boring.
Gina: Would one more time hurt that much.
Rosa: Urghh fine. You look really nice Gina.
Gina: Aww thanks Rosa.

We all giggled our way to the bar, meeting Amy and Jake out front.

Everyone cheered as I walked in, patting me on the back and hugging me. I went to bar and ordered a sex on the beach cocktail. I got my purse out until Rosa came up behind me.

Rosa: Put that away. I'm buying, tonight's about you.
Me: Oh OK thanks.

Many cocktails later, I was belting out old school tunes with Jake and Charles. I stumbled to the bar to see Rosa leant back, elbows on the wood, looking at me.

I had to stop myself from going up to her and kissing her. I didn't want to ruin what friendship we already had. I stood next to her when I felt her hand sliding up my thigh and tap my ass.

I giggled and turned to her. She was now standing right in front of me, gazing into my eyes. The space between us was slowly getting smaller until our lips met.

The world fell away from around me, it was just us. She deepened the kiss, running her hands through my hair. I placed my shaking hands on her waist and gently pulled her body right up against mine.

A wolf whistle from Terry made us jump and separate. Rosa looked back at me and smiled, stroking my cheek.

Me: Um I don't know what to say. Thank you?
Rosa: You taste good.

We all said goodbye and made our way back. Gina hitched a ride with Amy and Jake while I went back with Rosa. I was so drunk at this point and so was Rosa to the point where she could hardly put the key in her front door.

When inside, she took me to her bedroom and pulled out some clothes for me to wear to bed. Without a care, Rosa lifted off her dress up over her head. I blushed and looked away as she revealed a lacy black matching underwear set.

I changed into the shorts and vest top she had thrown at me and turned to see her wearing a baggy checkered t-shirt over her thong. She threw back the covers and slumped into bed, grabbing me and pulling me under.

She kissed my forehead giggling before we passed out asleep.
