Chapter 22

Alexis:

It was shocking hearing Aubrey mouth those words. No girl had ever said those words to me. Usually, it was just me going down on the ladies. Not the other way around. I always thought tomboys or people of my character were the achievers and not the receivers.

Who am I kidding? Nothing about Aubrey and I's relationship was usual.

It has just hit midnight and the guys were cleaning up, getting ready to leave. All night, Aubrey sat quietly next to me, sipping wine out of her glass. I could tell she was totally out of it after talking to her mother. We watched the scariest of movies but Aubrey didn't move an inch. She didn't flinch, she just blankly stared at the big screen.

Before meeting Alexis upstairs in her bedroom, I walked the guys out. My body lingered for a while in the foyer. My hand was still on the doorknob. Aubrey's words had me shell shocked. I quickly gulped down the last of my beer and tossed it into the trash.

As I walked upstairs, I took my time sniffing my armpits and running my hands through my hair. What if I smelled? Would Aubrey stop or keep going? She never had those problems. She smelled and tasted like strawberries. But what did I taste like? Hopefully something better or equivalent to strawberries.

When I got to Aubrey's room, she was sitting on the edge of her bed in an oversized white t-shirt. Her bedroom light was off but small candles were lit around the room. This was so damn romantic.

To be honest, Aubrey had me very nervous. My palms were sweaty and I couldn't even look her in the eyes. Aubrey motioned for me to sit beside her on the edge of the bed and I did. She took her time lightly running her hands over by body. She pushed my hair behind my ear and began sucking on my neck.

The sensations Aubrey gave me was amazing. I was sure it was the wine and beer combined with her lips on my neck that had drastically lifted my mood. She detached her lips and lifted my chin so that we were now staring each other in the eyes. Aubrey flashed a smile and lightly pecked my forehead. A few seconds later, she removed the hair ties that sealed my two braids.

"What are you—" but before I could question her actions, she silenced me with a kiss. The knowing of unknowing excited me. I didn't know what Aubrey's next moves were but I loved it. I loved her.

Aubrey took out my braids and lifted my arms, removing my shirt. I don't think she'd ever seen me this bare before. I don't think anyone has ever seen me like this. So vulnerable and fragile, mentally and emotionally. Suddenly, almost in a flash, Aubrey had successfully gotten me out of my clothes. She'd removed my sports bra and boy shorts. I kept my arms folded against my chest as she passionately kissed me.

Aubrey detached my arms from my chest and managed to keep our lips on each other's as we crawled to the head of the bed. She took her time sucking and kissing on my chest, licking from the middle of my breast down to my pelvis as she ran her hands along the curve of my hips. This was amazing.

I couldn't help but let out subtle moans and gasps in the anticipation of what I knew or hoped was about to happen. Usually, I was the one who gave out this type of pleasure.

With no warning, Aubrey latched her mouth onto the softest part of me. My most vulnerable place, Aubrey treated with love and affection. I felt a tear escape as I arched my back and cried out in pleasure. For the first time, someone had made love to me.

After a handful of shared orgasms, Aubrey and I lay arm in arm trying to recuperate. "I'm in love with you, Alexis. If we never see each other again, I just want you to know how I feel." Aubrey stated. I could hear the cracking in her voice as she said those words. "I'm in love with you too." I couldn't help the tears that began flowing. Somehow, I knew that there would be a goodbye. Not a see you later, but a goodbye.

Aubrey was the first girl I had ever actually felt something for. Not just the typically lezzy sex-crazed attraction. I had developed an emotional and mental attraction for her. We'd shared something so special and rare for me. She was the first and only girl that I had fallen in love with. Completely and utterly and in love with. No one could ever come close to what she and I have.

"I can't believe I let you get me naked," I blurted out, face-palming myself.

Aubrey burst into giggles. "What?" she questioned, looking up at me.

"You heard me. I'm completely naked under these blankets. I can't believe this." I shook my head in disbelief. Aubrey yawned and looked at the clock on her bedside table. 3:47 am.

Aubrey's face went emotionless. "I should probably start packing," she let out, in a monotone voice. She grabbed a sheet and wrapped herself in it.

"It's kind of late. You don't want to sleep first?" I wondered, sitting up. Aubrey sighed, hanging her head down low. "If I sleep, I'll wake up and be brought back to reality. I'll sleep when the day is over. After I find out what my mother is going to do with me," she admitted.

I slid over to where she was sitting on the bed. "Whatever happens, nothing will change how I feel about you. I'll wait for you. I love you, Aubrey."

We shared a deep, passionate kiss. "I love you more, Alexis," she replied, smiling against my lips.

"You might as well help me pack..." Aubrey trailed off. I giggled, and we put our clothes back on. Aubrey grabbed the suitcases she came with, and I began filling them with her clothes.

Damn, I was going to miss her.
