The Lost Ones | Choni

BEFORE YOU READ!!!
Okay so I'm doing notes at the beginning of this chapter. Sorry for this being late but it's here now. This is the 4th to last chapter of this book so start preparing for this story to come to an end. I had more planned for it but since I took such a big gap between chapters, I lost some of the ideas I had. It is what it is though and I'm just working to get this done.
If you like this story then PLEASE go read my other story From Different Worlds which I'm pretty proud of right now. I have lots planned for it (that I've written down so I won't forget) and I'm excited to write and post.
Also!!! I'm making another fanfic! I really want to write it ASAP but the first chapter will probably be posted right before the last chapter of this one so I can advertise it again after the conclusion of this story. In regards to this new one, I think you all will like it if I get it right. I'm just trying to figure out how I want to tell the story. I kind of want to do third person narration for it but I also wouldn't mind keeping up with my current writing with first person from the perspectives of both girls. I'm also debating if I should still do past tense (which I'm starting not to like as much, but of course I can still write it) or if I should do present tense. The thing is, if I do present tense then I have to do first person because present and third person don't really fit as well to me, but present tense is fresh and fun to do. So, what would you guys prefer?
Okay I'm done rambling (and I'll probably do a little note after the chapter) so enjoy reading!

      The door shut behind us as we got back to Toni's apartment. We had eaten dinner and talked more about how the art fair went and were ready to be in for the night. Setting our stuff down, we glanced at each other and smiled.
     "Wanna go change into some pajamas?" Toni asked.
     I nodded happily. "Sure."
     Our shoes thudded onto the floor as we slipped out of them and moved them against the wall. We then walked into Toni's room and I plopped on the bed, the quiet squeak of the springs ringing through the room. A piece of fabric landed on my stomach and I looked to see it was Toni's magenta hoodie she let me wear when I came over. Despite bringing clothes when I come over, I usually always wore Toni's pajamas, so the clothes I brought were day clothes.
I sat up and stripped off my top, then I looked over at Toni and she was only in her bra and panties. Starring a bit longer than I probably should've, my eyes wandered over her caramel skin. Once I noticed that Toni was looking back at me, my eyes darted to my lap and I started to pick up the hoodie to put on.
Toni ambled toward me with a giggle bouncing off her lips. "You know I don't mind if you look at me, right?"
     "Yeah—yeah I know. I just . . ."
     Obviously taking note over the fact I was nervous, she moved her hand and tucked a piece of my copper hair being my ear. I looked away again and she leveled herself at my angle. "Hey, look at me." Her soft tone calmed me and I did what she said. "You okay?"
     I starred back into her dark eyes, then glanced to her lips, her chest, and back to her lips. Her eyes followed mine throughout the action, so it wasn't a surprise when we both found ourselves leaning in for a kiss.
     Her lips were warm against mine and I pulled her closer, needing a little something more. She laughed gently, the sound echoing off my skin as she straddled my lap. Her weight was pressed on my thighs and I felt her warm hands on my hips. A shiver shot through my body as she moved her hands up, stopping just under my bra.
     We looked into each other's eyes after we pulled away, catching our breath from the dizzying lip-lock. "This okay?"
     "Yeah, more than okay," I nodded. "Is this leading somewhere?"
     Her breath hitched at the question and she gazed over my body. "Would you be okay with that?"
     My hand found its place on her cheek and I pulled her in for a kiss before answering with a whispered, "Yeah."
     A wide smile spread onto her face before she reconnected our lips and pushed me down onto the bed. My hands roamed the exposed area of her back until they were feeling the lace of her bra, trying to find the clasp. I stopped when she sat up, worried I was doing something wrong.
"Oh, is that not okay?"
"What? No, it's fine!" she giggled. She grabbed my hand and then guided it to her chest. "The clasp is just in the front with this bra."
I felt my cheeks heat up and I let out a nervous laugh. "Oh, sorry."
She pressed a kiss to my forehead and whispered, "No need to be sorry."
Taking in a breath, I nodded and kissed her cheek, then began to fiddle with the clasp, only for the angle to be a little awkward.
     "How about I get mine and you get yours?"
     "That sounds better. Your bra is obviously against me," I huffed
    She smirked a little. "Obviously so."
     Reaching behind me, I got my clasp undone and pulled my garment off as Toni did the same. When we faced each other again and instantly began admiring each other.
     "You're so beautiful, Toni," I said before closing the gap between us, joining together for another kiss.
     Her hands became woven in my hair, fingertips pushing against me, bringing me closer to her. My head spun over the feeling of our bare chests pressed firmly against each other and I hummed against her lips. I shifted my body before gravity pulled me down against the mattress, now being able to lay my head onto Toni's pillows.
     Her body followed mine, finding most of herself to my right as she moved her right arm over to my left breast.
     "This okay?"
     "Yeah."
     After I green-lighted her request, she placed her hand onto me and massaged the area. Our make-out session continued as she rubbed my nipple, making me groan quietly. Her lips moved down to my neck, making her way to my collarbone and down to my breast. Her hand rested on my thigh as she sucked on my skin, and once she was doing this for a few seconds, she moved her hand between my legs.
"Oh—" A soft moan escaped my lips and my hands gripped onto her shoulders. She held her hand in place over my jeans, applying firm pressure. My lips were then met with a soft peck.
     "Am I doing too much or do you wanna keep going?"
     "I want to keep going."
     "Okay," she smiled. Her hands went to the button on my pants and she looked up to be sure it was fine to undo it. "Can I?"
     "Mmhm."
     It was nice that Toni wanted to make sure I was okay with what was going on, not wanting to freak me out. The button was unfastened and the blue-denim was being dragged off of my legs until I heard them plop onto the floor. Toni then decided to remove her underwear, leaving her completely exposed.
     Her comforting weight was back on my body as she kissed a line from my lips, all the way down to the waistband of my laced-panties. Chocolate brown eyes gazed into mine and I nodded, signaling for her to go on. She pulled the fabric down until it was discarded to the pile of clothes on the floor. Kisses were then planted from my knees, up to my thighs, and once she started to get comfortable so she could start, I remembered something important.
Protection.
     "Wait," I said quickly at the realization, making Toni worried.
     "What's wrong, baby? Do you want to stop?"
     I shook my head quickly. "No, I just remembered something. I need to get it from my bag, but while I do that, could you wash your hands in the bathroom?"
     She looked confused. "Uh, okay?"
     "I promise it's important. Just give me a sec and I'll explain." I kissed her forehead as I stood up and she giggled.
     "Alright, just don't take too long."
     "I won't."
     The water in the sink started running as I went out into the living room to look through my bag. Tiny bumps formed on my skin as my teeth chatted slightly, and I looked down to remember that I was naked.
Thank gosh Toni has the curtains closed and that hot dog isn't here.
     I quickly unzipped my bag and I could hear tomorrow's outfit hit the floor, but I didn't bother to pick up anything once I had what I needed.
     Toni was drying her hands as I walked back into the warmer room and set the box on the bed. I then joined her in the bathroom to wash my own hands and she still looked confused.
     "Go sit and I'll be there in a second." She nodded and then went to the bed.
     I hurried the process and dried my hands into the already damp towel. The bathroom lights were off with a tap of the switch and I ambled into the bedroom to see Toni looking at the box.
     "What are these?"
    "Dental dams," I said as I sat next to her. "They're supposed to protect us from getting any infections or STDs, which I know we're both clear of, but I just wanted to be safe anyway," I explained. "I also wanted us to wash our hands to help too because we don't want any bacteria from our hands to cause any infections either." It felt weird to explain all of this and it made me nervous.
What if she thinks this is dumb, or that this won't be as fun now?
     "Oh! Yeah I'm totally on board with that!" she beamed as she lifted my head and kissed me.
     "You don't think it's weird that I brought it up?"
     She chuckled and shook her head. "No, of course not. I didn't know these were a thing or that there was any risk with doing this. I want to be safe too," she smiled. "Besides, it's kind of sexy," she grinned as she casted her eyes down my body.
I giggled as I leaned in for another kiss, her lips curling into a smile against me before she guided me down onto the bed.

"Toni?" Cheryl's whispered voice came as her hand ran through my hair. My eyes fluttered open, the bright morning light making me squint. Cheryl was looking right at me as she moved to rub my back, trying to make the wake-up process a little easier. "You waking up?"
"Mmhm. I'm still tired from last night," I explained, letting a smirk play onto my lips.
She scoffed jokingly as she sat up and shook me. "Okay, you're definitely awake."
We laugh for a moment before I sat up as well, realizing I wasn't wearing any clothes. Cheryl was holding part of the comforter over her chest and I opted to do the same, even though it really didn't matter if we saw each other.
"So why'd you wake me up?"
"Because I have to go to the bathroom and I didn't want you to wake up alone and freak out. I thought that it could remind you of what happened with 'she who should not be named'."
I feel my face soften and I lean over to kiss her lips. "Aww that's sweet of you, and I really appreciate it."
     "Good, because I felt bad about waking you up." She then leaned over to kiss my forehead before getting up and going to the bathroom.
     A peaceful hum left my lips before I got up and put on some clean clothes, grabbing some for Cheryl as well. Once she opened the door again I passed her the pajamas I picked for her and headed for the door.
     "I'm going to make breakfast, so you go find a movie to watch and then we can eat in the living room."
     "Alright."
     Pots and pans banged against one another as I got out a metal bowl and a frying pan to make pancakes. I then went to the pantry and fridge to grab all the ingredients needed and got to work. The tv turned on behind me. My focus was now on both the task of cooking and figuring out what we would be watching, but then all my focus was aimed toward a pair of arms wrapping around me with a soft kiss on my head from Cheryl.
     "I love you, Toni."
     I hummed as I turned around and connected our lips. "I love you too. Now can you help me make breakfast?"
     Her face lit up and she chuckled. "Of course, babe."

Hey again! I wanted to say sorry for cutting off the entire sex scene if you guys prefer reading full ones, but I dunno, writing them in first person is a weird process. I low key wanted to make this chapter third person but then it wouldn't fit with the rest of the story.
Anyways, this story will be ending soon. I need to write the last three chapters and they will be posted when possible so then I can focus on FDW and the new one coming out. So be prepared. Well, that's all for now.
