"Wakey-wakey," Lena whispered, as she laid next to Stef in their shared bed, trying to get the woman to wake up. "Oh, c'mon...who seriously sleeps this hard?" She began running her fingers through the blonde's hair, arranging it behind her ear.
It had been almost a week since Lena's chat with Mrs. Taylor in regards to Stef's special treatment at Women's Inc. And though the mentor knew she needed to have the same talk with Stef, she just couldn't bring herself to do so. Truthfully, she needed time to sort out how she felt about her own treatment toward the woman. Was Mrs. Taylor right—did Lena favor Stef? She wasn't exactly sure, but felt she'd discuss it when she was ready to.
"I'm up, I'm up," Stef mumbled a bit, moving around in the bed. Who knew it'd only take for Lena's touch to awaken her?
She noticed her lover staring at her, then looked at her with utmost curiosity. "Please tell me you've at least woken me up at a decent hour..."The mentor giggled, moving closer to the blonde haired woman. "Is eight in the morning too early for you, honey?"
The other lover yawned, shaking her head in a motion that answered no. "As long as I get to wake up to you, I don't care what time it is." She too moved closer to Lena, blending their presences. She watched as the mentor prepared her lips for a morning's smooch, then shifted her own lips to do the same.
The two women adjusted their faces, aligning them with one another's. Allowing their lips to dance together as if it were for the first time, they created a kiss oh so beautiful. One that could never be forgotten. It was like even though a lot was occurring around them, they were still learning to love each other stronger everyday.
Cheesing exceptionally hard, Lena couldn't help but keep her pupils held tightly upon Stef's. She was madly in love, and there was no denying that. No matter what was happening—what was being said—her heart only longed for one other heart. And that was Stef's.
"Hey, what's got you smiling so much?" The other woman asked, gliding the fingers of the right hand up and down the mentor's left arm. She smiled too, enjoying the intimacy of the moment.
"You, of course," the mentor said back, fiddling with Stef's hair like she had done before. "And also because I have something that I want to show you." The woman then sat up in the bed, pulling Stef up with her. "Follow me."
Stef's eyes smiled, growing anxious. She watched as Lena removed herself from the bed and exited the room, then followed in her footsteps. Holding hands, the women traveled down the stairs of their shared home. They walked through the kitchen and living quarters until Lena stopped their tracks just before the front door.
"Okay, before I open the door," Lena began, incessantly holding onto her lover. "I need you to close your eyes."
The blonde haired woman giggled, turning her head sideways. "Just what are you up to, babe?" She placed the index finger of her right hand upon her chin, feeling quite curious.
