An Apple A Day(Trixya)

Pink Lights

"Mom, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Katya." Katya sat on the counter, watching her mother wrap cookies for her grandmother.

"So, a friend of mine is gonna be alone this Thanksgiving..she just moved here and has no family."

"Okay?"

"I wanted to ask if I could stay with her, so she wouldn't be alone."

"Katya, we are going to see family."

"Mom, I know bu-"

"Katya, I don't know about that."

"You don't know what dear?" Katya's dad came walking down the stairs, holding his suitcase. Katya jumped off the counter and walked to her dad, standing in front of him.

"Daddy, mom and I were talking.."

"About?"

"Well, I wanted to stay with a friend this Thanksgiving. She has no family here and I really didn't want her to be alone."

"You are 18 years old, so I don't see why not."

"Eddie!"

"What? She is an adult, she can watch over herself."

"Are you serious? She needs to see her family."

"Honey, we see them every year, six times a year. She still has five other trips. Katya, you can go sweetie. Actually, you and your friend can stay here. You have your house keys, don't you?"

"Yes daddy, I do. Thank you daddy!" Katya wrapped her arms around her dad with a smile.

"You're welcome princess." Katya kissed her dad's cheek and ran upstairs. Katya grabbed her phone and smiled as she sat on the bed. She held her phone to her ear as she tried to control her excitement.

"Hello?"

"Trixie!" Trixie chuckled and pulled her phone away from her ear.

"Someone sounds happy."

"My dad told me I can spend Thanksgiving with you."

"Really?"

"Yep, he also said that we can stay here in the house while they are gone. It is all up to you but we have the choice."

"Well, I'd like to fuck you in your bed so I will have to think long and hard about it." Katya choked as she started coughing. "You alright there baby doll?"

"Anyway, gonna not even go there. They will be leaving soon, do you want to come over?"

"Sure baby."

"Okay Katya, you call us if you need anything. Make sure to lock up every door when you leave. The car is filled with gas and.."

"Mom, I will be okay."

"Yeah, I know. Oh, and you need to.."

"Dear, she said she will be okay." Katya's dad shook his head as he grabbed his wife's hand, pulling her outside.

"Wait, since Katya is staying can I?"

"No."

"Why? I'm the oldest."

"Because Willam, you get into trouble. Katya doesn't give us trouble."

"Yeah, your mother and I don't need another call from the police, saying that you have gone skinny dipping in the fountain again."

"I said sorry for that." Willam crossed her arms and leaned against the car.

"Anyway, Katya we will be going now. We love you."

"I love you too mom and dad." Katya waved to her family as they pulled out of the driveway. After the car was out of sight, Katya ran back inside the house with a smile. She rushed up the stairs to Willam's room and grabbed a black mini skirt along with a simple red sweater that hung off the shoulder. Katya put her hair up in a messy bun and quickly put on some red lipstick. She ran back downstairs when she heard the doorbell. Katya took a deep breathe before opening the door with a smile. "Hey Trixie."

"Well hello there."

"Wanna come in?" Katya bounced from one foot to the other as Trixie looked at her. She was feeling anxious and had no idea why.

"Sure sweetie, thank you." Trixie stepped inside, softly kissing Katya's cheek. After their date last night, Katya had seen Trixie in a new light. Before the light could be described as those low red lights, the ones you'd see in the Tumblr posts. The posts with the girl who is naked, being held by some guy. Sex, lust, passion, low rock music playing in the background. But now it was calming. Soft pastel pink lights. The pink you see when the sun is setting. Cuddling, holding hands, waves, the sweet strings of a ukulele being plucked, and something other than lust. Maybe love. "So, just you and I huh?"

"Yeah. Um would you like something to drink?"

"Not really, but I could use a snack."

"Oh, uh we have cookies and stuff like that." Katya walked to the kitchen, Trixie following behind her. "What do you have a taste for? Something sweet? Something salty? Bit of both, maybe?"

"Hmm, I was thinking maybe something sweet. I have a bit of a sweet tooth today." Trixie stood behind Katya, close enough for Katya to feel Trixie's breathe hit the back of her neck. It made the small hairs on Katya's neck stand up.

"Well, do you see anything you like?"

"Yes, very much so. Something so sweet, honestly might be my favorite thing to eat now." Trixie stood even closer to Katya, softly placing her hand around Katya's throat.

"And what's that?"

"You."
