Wonder

Surprise

*Third Person POV*

Christen was leaning over the top of Tobin's couch, watching the older girl as she sat staring intently at her paperwork. The papers that Tobin had strewn across the bedsheets varied in size and colour, some small and bright full of handwritten notes and scribbles, and some larger and plain, typed structured paragraphs littered those. Her pens had been neatly lined up, blue, black, then red, but now they had made the journey to opposite sides of the mattress.

The younger girl looked back toward the window, the snow was still falling, but only in tiny little flakes today, it almost looked like a very light rain. There were college kids playing in it like children, a small group had started making a snowman, the lopsided half melted creature resembled more closely to a troll. Christen tilted her head and craned her neck to peer over at the student sitting on his own, his messy golden curls starting to become a magnet for snowflakes. Christen watched as he stood and walked toward another student, she watched curiously as he leant down and began to roll up a snowball before throwing it in the direction of the student he was walking toward. It wasn't long after that a seven person snowball fight erupted and Christen found herself quietly making bets on the winners.

The dark haired girl turned back toward Tobin, who was already staring at her with a smile, "What're you giggling at?" Tobin asked, stretching out her legs over the side of the bed.

"There's a snowball fight going on...I'd invite you to one myself, but we both know I'd win," Christen replied, leaning her chin on the back of the couch as she pouted. 

Tobin laughed softly before rolling her eyes, picking up a loose piece of paper and folding it into a plane as Christen turned back toward the window. When she was satisfied that Christen was paying no attention to her, Tobin took aim and threw the paper plane in her direction, watching with a smirk as it softly hit the side of Christens head before falling haplessly onto the floor. "You couldn't win a snowball fight, 'cause my aim is better," Tobin retorted, leaning her head back on the headboard of the bed.

Christen's dark eyes connected with Tobin's, she had a piercing intensity that both scared and aroused Tobin at the best of times. "If that helps you sleep at night, Tobi," She shrugged, biting her bottom lip and smiling softly.

"Have I told you how much I like being called Tobi?" The older girl asked, smiling wide as Christens words rang out through her ears.

"I feel like I specifically remember you complaining that a classmate called you that last week?" Christen replied, raising an eyebrow and tilting her head sideways. Tobin thought to herself that Christen resembled a puppy, she displayed so much emotion in her eyes, and the god damn head tilting, nonetheless, Tobin found it cute.

"Yeah but that's different, I like it when you say it," Tobin answered, shutting the lid of her laptop and placing it onto her nightstand. "Kiss me?" She continued, looking toward Christen and attempting to pout as alluring as possible.

The younger woman had no objections to the request, she hopped off from the couch and walked the few steps toward Tobin until she was at the end of the bed. Christen put her index finger under Tobin's chin end began to lift her upwards, relying on Tobin to get the hint and stand up. 

Tobin wasn't clueless, she stood up, making her toe to toe with Christen. Christen leant across to place her lips on Tobin's, her bottom lip slid familiarly in between Tobin's before the two parted. Tobin bit the inside of her cheeks as Christen held onto her waist and dragged her in close, the pair stood with their chests pressed together as Tobin leant back in, placing a hand on the back of Christen's head to hold her close. Christen let the older woman have control as Tobin ran her tongue across Christen's bottom lip, the younger of the pair immediately parting her lips for Tobin.
