Caught In Bliss

Bright Eyes

Dom stood on set fidgeting with her fingers, her eyes working their way up the homestead driveway every few minutes as Melanie took notice. Both women were greeting everyone as they arrived and as of yet, Kat was the last to show.

     'What are you doing cutie?' Mel observed, tilting her head towards the younger brunette. The calm spring afternoon seemed to have brought out the sun.

     'Waiting for Kat obviously.'

     'You know that thing that I talk to you about every year before filming?' Melanie studied the woman, 'It still applies.'

     Dom playfully stuck out her tongue just as a car began to kick up dust from down the road. The brunette's eyes grew as Melanie took her side, the two waiting for the vehicle to approach and come to a complete stop before greeting their friend. Everyone knew Dom had a thing for the redhead, it wasn't much of a secret except for outside of the set. Kat usually played along causing Mel to scold her for acting the way that she did with the younger woman. She wanted to protect Dom, and Mel considered herself an older sister to her in every way. The black four door stopped, its engine still puttering as Melanie rolled her eyes.

     'Let her come to us. She left us waiting all day.' The woman scoffed as Dom held her feet steady on the ground. Every since last night her body was still buzzing, even now the brunette could feel Kat's breath against her lips. She told herself to calm down, retrieving her arm from Melanie as the car door opened. The redhead stepped out of the vehicle in a white top and some jeans, her hair pulled into a ponytail as Dom happily bit her bottom lip.

     'Hey babe.' The brunette spoke up, walking over before sliding her fingers between the taller woman's. Dom happily gazed up awaiting that familiar greeting she was accustomed to, a light peck would suffice, but instead of their usual small kiss, Kat faced the trunk of the car. Melanie studied the two, her quiet observation being interrupted by...

     'You guys would be so proud of me, I've only packed two bags.' Kat gave Dom's hand a gentle squeeze before leaving her side, reaching into the vehicle to pull out her large dark blue suitcases.

     'How's Ray?' Melanie called over to the woman as the redhead made the trek down the dirt path. A shrug was given.

     'He's fine. Obviously he didn't want me to leave but, he's good. And your boys?'

     Dom had trailed behind the two women, her chest aching because she felt rejected. It wasn't a real life shattering rejection, but a disappointment none the less. She crossed her arms and tried to focus on the conversation in front of her. Melanie plucked one of Kat's bags from the redhead's grip and lugged it down the rest of the way. It was a warmer season to shoot in than normal for the group and so they were going to soak in the sun as much as they could. Kat was the first to smile at the steel-tin-can which housed her on set. She opened the trailer door, stretching her arms out wide.

     'I'm home.'

     Dom stopped at the steps and just stood there, her eyes gazing at the latch as Melanie disappeared inside. Laughter filled the once empty space, the chatter made it's way towards the brunette. She sighed, finally opening the trailer to join the two as Kat's eyes found hers.

     Dom could never get over the feeling of seeing the woman giving her any amount of attention with a sweet dimpled smile. She knew it went deeper than that, a warmth growing in her stomach as she slid her tongue over her bottom lip. Melanie stayed for a few minutes, happily talking about all the things she couldn't wait to do again. Dom began to lean against the fridge, crossing her arms before placing her fingers up to her lips and biting down on her nail. Her mind was racing so much she hadn't known that her silence was noticed. It wasn't natural for the brunette to be so quiet.
