Two
Months Later...
Jo hurried from the office and out to her car.
She had ten minutes before she was to meet Emily at the park.
She was wearing jeans, a tank-top, and boots.
Dark shades hid her eyes from the blazing sun.
As she walked to the designated spot, pre-selected by Emily, she
couldn’t help but think of how close they had become over the last couple of
months. Now,
however she was feeling a little uneasy... Her feelings for Emily were changing
and becoming stronger.
Purposely, she hid them, not wanting to frighten the young woman away.
Spotting Emily a short distance off, she waved.
Emily smiled and waved back.
Jogging over to Jo, Emily held out the basket.
“I brought lunch.”
Jo took the basket and proceeded to lay out the blanket and various
food dishes. Emily
and her talked about their days and the new album.
“I want to begin recording next
week.” Jo said.
Emily agreed and went back to munching on her sandwich.
They talked about the songs and how Jo wanted the album to be set up.
“Tell
me about Chris.”
Emily said abruptly.
Jo was stunned and sat silent for a moment.
‘Damn.
I’m always hurting her or saying something wrong.’
She chastised herself.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”
Jo
cut her off. “No
it’s okay. I
haven’t talked about her in a long time that’s all.”
Emily saw the pain and sadness in Jo’s eyes and wanted so badly to just
reach out and hold her, but she remained still waiting for Jo to continue.
Taking a deep breath Jo began:
“I was twenty-one and wild.
I partied all the time, drank and the whole reckless life was mine.
One day Chris walked into my life and everything changed.
I fell in love instantly and we were inseparable.
Then one day my happy little world came crashing down around me.”
Jo’s breath caught and she paused.
Seeing
her friend’s distress Emily reached out and squeezed her hand.
Jo smiled at the gesture and continued.
“We were coming home from a party celebrating my latest album’s
Grammy nomination.
As we were walking back to her apartment, these guys came out of nowhere
and started calling us names and throwing stuff at us.
I grabbed Chris and started running.
They came after us.
Everything happened in slow motion.
I heard the crack and felt Chris drop to the ground.
I dropped beside her.
Another crack and I was hit in the shoulder.
I guess someone heard the commotion cause the next thing I heard were
sirens. I
sat on the ground completely numb.
I just held onto Chris and cried.”
The tears rolled down her cheeks as she relived that horrific night.
Emily
didn’t care about anything.
Moving over, she gathered the tall woman in her arms and gently rocked
her. ‘Oh
my love, I wish I could take away all that pain.’
She kissed Jo’s head and leaned back to look into blue eyes red from
crying. “I’m
so sorry for what happened.
That you had to go through that.”
“It
wasn’t your fault.
Thank you.”
Jo whispered.
“For
what?” Emily
questioned.
“Being
my friend.”
Jo replied.
“There’s
no need to thank me.
I enjoy having you as a friend.”
She replied.
‘I would love to be more, my friend.
You have no idea how much you mean to me.’
Emily simply nodded and moved back. “Much as I would love to stay and talk more, I have to get back to the
club.” Emily said with a sigh.
She really didn’t want to leave, but she had no choice.
Jo helped her clean up and they walked back to their cars.
“See you tonight.” Jo
called as she got in her car.
Emily waved.
Jo returned to her house and decided to take a short nap.
‘Well Chris, I have a second chance.
I love you and miss you.
I hope you approve.’
A feeling of warmth spread over Jo and she knew her answer.
********************
The
Club, That Evening...
“That was a great performance.”
Jo complimented as Emily joined the group at the table.
Emily smiled and thanked her.
“Hey... bitch!” came a
rather rude shout.
“What the...” Sarah turned
just in time to see Cole walking toward the group.
“Shit... Here comes trouble.”
“Hey Em... See you got your
bodyguard here to protect you.”
Jo started to get up, but Emily stopped her.
“Cole leave us alone.”
Emily stated through clenched teeth.
“Hey is she as good in bed as me?
Bet not.” Cole taunted.
Jo was becoming more and more angry by the minute.
Emily held her firm.
“Why don’t we step outside and
talk.” Getting up and grabbing Cole, she led them outside.
Jo wanted to follow them, but Erin and Sarah stopped her.
“Let her handle Mel.”
Looking at Erin, Jo reluctantly sat back down.
She kept looking around the club and looking at her watch.
After about a half an hour, she stood and went looking for the pair.
This time no one stopped her.
Jo got to the parking lot just as Cole took a swing at Emily.
Running at full speed, she knocked Mel to the ground.
Emily was kneeling next to a car holding her nose.
Jo got up and readied herself for a fight.
Cole came at her with full force, knocking them both back down.
They struggled for a short while, till Emily yelled at them to stop.
Jo glanced over to Emily and moved back.
Cole got up and took off.
That seemed to be the end of it.
Jo
quickly went to Emily’s side.
Lifting her chin, she saw the blood.
Taking her shirt off, she wiped off the blood running down Emily s face. “You
okay?” she asked.
Emily nodded trying not to look at Jo kneeling there in only her bra.
Unable to stop herself, she took a quick look at Jo.
She gasped as she could see the beginnings of bruises on her arms and
neck. Jo
also sported a rapidly swelling eye.
Rising to her feet, Jo reached for Emily.
As Jo pulled her up, Emily noticed the wince.
“Oh my god, Jo you’re hurt.” Emily
exclaimed.
“It’s nothing.” she
replied. She
couldn’t help the jolt of pain that shot through her as she helped Emily up.
“Nothing my ass.
We’re going to the hospital, you may have broken something.”
Emily stated. Jo
started to object, but the look Emily gave her stopped her.
Leading Jo by the arm, she went to her car.
After they were safely in, she drove to the hospital.
Jo hated hospitals, but for Emily she would cooperate.
For Emily, she’d do just about anything.
It took nearly two hours for the pair to get out of the ER.
Jo called Erin and let her know what had happened and the aftermath.
Erin said okay and that she would tell the others.
Turned out Emily was right, one broken rib, several bruises, and a black
eye to top it all off.
Emily helped Jo into the car after they were done.
“Okay, now you have to show me
where your house is.” she said.
Jo gave her directions as they drove.
As Emily pulled up in front of the house, her eyes went wide.
It was a simple house, not big or expensive looking.
Helping Jo out and into the house, she made sure Jo was okay before
turning to leave.
“Stay.
At least for a little while.” Jo asked as she reached for her.
Emily turned and looked at her.
“Please”
It was a plea Emily could not ignore.
Turning back, she sat on the couch next to Jo.
‘Now
what do I do?’ she wondered.
Jo sensed her dilemma and decided to speak first.
“Thanks, I don’t usually go to the doctor.” she started. ‘That’s
it Jo... real suave.’ her mind called.
“S’okay You had me worried.”
Emily admitted.
In truth, Emily has been terrified at seeing Jo hurt.
Jo reached over and lifted her chin, letting her hand linger for a
moment. Emily
turned into the warm touch and, without thought, kissed Jo’s palm.
Jo slid her hand down to Emily’s and drew her closer.
Their eyes locked as they inched closer together.
As their breaths mingled, Emily’s eyes closed.
They remained like that for what seemed like an eternity.
Jo threw caution to the wind and let her heart guide her.
Sliding her hand into blond tresses, she drew the young woman closer.
Then the world fell away as soft lips met in a kiss that sent electric
jolts through both women.
Jo pulled away first and waited for Emily to open her eyes.
Emily gazed into the blue orbs before her and raised her hand to trace
lips still wet from their kiss.
Sliding her hand around Jo’s neck, she pulled her into a kiss that soon
became an inferno of passion.
Jo laid back, pulling Emily on top of her.
“Uhn.” came the grunt as pain shot through her body.
“Oh shit, your rib.”
Emily exclaimed a she jumped back.
Checking the bandage again, she stood up.
“I guess that settles that.” she stated.
“Huh, what?” Jo managed,
though still breathless from their kiss and the jarring of her rib.
“How we
feel.”
“Oh... yeah.
Can we try again? Uh, I mean… uh, I mean will you join me for
dinner?” Jo asked, somewhat awkwardly.
Emily smiled.
“Yes.” she chuckled and
with a final kiss left the house.
Jo just lay there stunned.
Closing her eyes she replayed their kiss over and over till she fell into
blissful slumber.
******************
One
Month Later...
Emily was going through her schedule for the week when the phone rang.
“Hello”
“Hey.”
“Hey there yourself.”
“Wanna meet for lunch?”
“Sure, where and when?”
“How ‘bout I pick you up, say noon?”
“Sounds great.
See ya then.”
“K. bye.”
“Bye.” Emily hung up the
phone. Meeting
Jo for lunch was definitely a distraction she could afford.
Over the past month, they had played phone tag and had only gotten to see
each other during work.
Jo had already begun recording the new album and Emily was there everyday
to watch and help with the songs.
Both had been really saddened that there was so little free time to just
be with each other, but understood it was necessary if the album was to be
completed on schedule.
They had grown closer over the past month.
Emily got up and went to get ready for her ‘date’.
Taking a shower, she went to her closet and selected a pair of jeans and
T-shirt. Eyeing
the wall clock, she decided to continue writing till it was time.
The time seemed to fly by and before she knew it, it was noon.
*knock *knock
Emily
went to the door and let Jo in.
“I’ll be right there.”
she called as she wandered down the hall to her bedroom.
“No hurry.” Jo called back.
Jo sat on the couch to wait.
‘I’m in love.
I never thought… but I am’
A grin crept up on her face and she sat back enjoying the feelings
inside. A
few minutes later, Emily joined her in the living room.
“Where to?”
“It’s a surprise.” Jo
replied as she led them to the elevator.
Upon entering the elevator, she turned to Emily and swept her into to her
arms. Holding
her close, she bent her head and kissed those hard to resist lips.
Emily melted into Jo.
It had been so long.
“Wha...”
Emily croaked as the elevator doors opened.
Grateful no one had been waiting, she followed Jo to her car.
They drove along in silence, till Jo pulled into the parking lot.
“Where are we?” Emily
asked.
“You’ll see.”
Jo replied.
Leading Emily inside the restaurant she went directly to the back of the
place. After
getting her settled, she excused herself for a moment.
Emily just sat there and looked around.
A few moments later, she was surprised by the waiter’s arrival.
He was carrying a rather large cake.
He placed the cake on the table and left.
Emily looked at the cake and her eyes went wide with wonder.
“Oh my...” she gasped.
“Surprise!” came Jo’s
voice, along with several others, from behind her.
Turning she saw Jo, Sarah, Erika, Jocelyn, Erin and another woman she
didn’t recognize.
“Wha... How did...” Emily
stuttered, then it dawned on her.
“Erin!”
Erin stood there with a look of ‘hand-caught-in-the-cookie-jar’ on
her face. Everyone
laughed. “Happy
birthday!” Jo finally said.
Taking Emily’s hand, she kissed it.
Everyone took they’re seats while Emily cut the cake.
“Emily I’d like you to meet Krystal Anark.
She owns this fine establishment and helped us put this together for
you.” Jo said pointing to the woman next to Jocelyn.
“Thank you.
I’m flattered.”
Emily said.
They all sat and talked for a few hours.
Each person presented her his or her gifts.
Jo remained silent during the entire time.
Only after their guests had left did she speak.
“You ready to go?”
she asked.
Emily nodded.
Gathering the gifts, she helped Emily up and led her to the car.
She drove them back to her house.
“Okay, now I can give you my present.” she said as they entered
the house. Just
as Jo turned around after closing the door, Emily made her move; soft warm lips
seeking their eager counterpart.
Soon their tongues joined the dance.
Jo pulled away reluctantly and narrowed her eyes at Emily.
Both were breathing heavy.
“You are incorrigible. Come on... your gift is in the other room.”
Jo said, laying a kiss on her love’s nose.
Emily followed Jo into the other room, slightly confused.
Jo went to her desk and retrieved the present.
walking back to Emily, she handed the package to her.
Emily opened the box and gasped.
There in the box was a leather bound book with her name on it.
Upon opening the book, she found Jo’s inscription and a picture of her.
To
my dearest friend,
Just
a little something
to
say I care.
Love,
Jo
XXO
Her eyes glazed over with unshed tears.
The book was filled with her writings and pictures of the two of them
since they first met.
Putting the book down, she hugged Jo close.
Jo eagerly returned the hug.
“I guess this means you like it.” she chuckled.
“I love it.
It’s beautiful... you’re beautiful.” Emily responded, looking
deep into the blue depths before her.
Jo dipped her head and traced her lips with her tongue.
Then dove in, kissing Emily with all the passion and love she had been
holding inside. Emily’s hands found their way into the raven tresses and
pulled Jo closer.
Jo’s hands had a life of their own as they slid beneath the T-shirt and
began to caress her smooth flesh.
Breaking away with a gasp, Emily rasped: “Your
room...” Jo had already begun trailing kisses along her neck.
Not losing contact, she lifted Emily and carried her to the bedroom.
Placing her precious cargo on the bed, she gently lowered herself down on
top. Careful
to hold some of her weight with her elbows, she returned to Emily’s neck.
Her lover responded by tilting her head exposing more of the inviting
flesh to Jo’s hunger.
The
tension building within the two was growing to a fevered pitch and Emily tugged
at the shirt Jo was wearing, demanding its removal.
Jo sat back and went to lift the shirt, but eager hands beat her to it.
She lifted the shirt and threw it.
Not able to contain her desire any longer, she bent forward and took one
of Jo’s breasts in her mouth.
Rolling her tongue round and round the nipple, before enclosing it in her
warm mouth, she felt it harden instantly.
Jo arched into the welcome touch, her long fingers finding their way into
the blond tresses and holding her love close.
Pulling away from the wonderful sensation, she quickly divested Emily of
her clothing and rapidly removed the remaining cloths she was wearing.
Returning to her lover, she laid her body gently over the young
woman’s. They
each groaned at the first meeting of flesh against flesh.
Emily pulled Jo’s lips to her once more in a heated exchange of
passion. Jo
left her lips and began a blazing trail of kisses, which ended at the firm round
breasts of her lover.
Taking the time to caress and suck each one, lavishing full attention on
both. Emily’s
hips began to rock beneath Jo, seeking any release from the heat and need
burning in her loins.
Jo planted kisses over the smooth abs and reaching her navel, dipped her
tongue in; a promise of things to come.
Emily’s hips rose to meet the intrusion, sending jolts of pleasure
through her entire body.
Jo continued her assault as she worked lower.
Gently kissing the soft golden hair of her lover’s mound she could
smell her arousal.
It was a clean sweet scent that sent shivers through her body.
Not being able to control herself anymore, she delved into sweetness
before her. Slowly
sliding her tongue through the slick folds, she tried to gather as much of the
sweet nectar as possible.
Emily’s legs found their own way over her shoulders and locked at the
ankles behind her back.
A loving trap that heightened Jo’s arousal.
Hearing the moans and gasps coming from the young woman, Jo relented her
teasing and circled her clit with her mouth.
Emily’s hands locked in her hair pulling her closer.
“Uhn... yes... Jo...” she
kept repeating.
Jo’s tongue swirled round and round over the tight bud.
She brought her hand up and gently slid in one finger, groaning at the
exquisite pressure surrounding her digit.
Beginning a rhythm that would bring Emily over the precipice, she tugged
harder on the tight bud as her finger plunged in and out of the writhing young
woman.
“Uhn... more.... yes...”
Emily’s voice rang in her ears.
Pulling out till just the tip of her finger rested at the opening, Jo
added a second finger and at the same time she plunged in... She pulled hard on
her lover’s clit.
Emily went rigid and after a second screamed her release into the air. “Yesss...
JOOOOOOOOO!!!!” then went limp.
Jo crawled up her lover’s body, planting kisses in her wake, till she
reached her lips.
Emily
pulled her into another heated kiss and using strength borne of passion and love
she rolled them over, till she was on top.
Looking down into blue eyes that had captured her soul, she whispered: “I
want you...” With that, she lowered herself once more to taste those sweet
lips before moving down Jo’s neck.
Pausing to suck on the pounding pulse point, she left a rather pronounced
hickey. She
leaned back slightly to trace the faint scar upon Jo’s shoulder.
Blue
eyes connected with green and an unspoken understanding passed between the
lovers. Emily
kissed the scar and trailed her tongue along the raised skin.
What once was a memory of pain now became one of love for her lover.
Jo slid her hands in blond tresses as her lover moved lower.
Moving further down, she attached herself to Jo’s left breast.
Suckling as a babe, she lavished full attention on the firm mound before
switching to do the same to the other.
Jo’s hands had found their way into blond tresses and held firm.
Releasing her prize, Emily trailed her tongue down Jo’s delectable
washboard stomach.
Jo’s hands urged her lower as the need within her grew worse.
Not wasting any more time, Emily buried her face into Jo’s pulsing sex.
Jo’s hips surged up to meet the intimate touch that threatened to send
her over too soon.
Using her tongue, Emily drew tight circles around her clit before
capturing it in her mouth and sucking.
“Yesss...” Jo moaned as she felt the warm mouth envelop her.
Sliding
two fingers into the molten inferno of Jo’s womenhood, she began a steady
pumping. In
and out, faster and harder in response to Jo’s pleading.
“More... Harder... Yesss...”
Jo’s hips moved to meet each thrust, pulling Emily deeper.
“Take me... Take me now...” she groaned.
Emily responded by circling her clit with her mouth again.
She sucked hard and then bit down.
Jo grabbed her shoulders as she went rigid.
“EMMILLYYYYYY...!!!!!!!” she cried as blessed release came over
her in wave after shuddering wave.
Taking a moment to catch her breath, she released Emily and then pulled
her up. Her
lips sought out her lover’s and they shared a searing kiss.
Emily then curled up against Jo.
One arm across her stomach, her leg draped over her thighs, her head
nestled comfortably in the crook of her shoulder and Jo’s arm wrapped around
her waist. Sheer
heavenly bliss.
