A New Day

"Ugh." Emily groaned as she turned to her nightstand. Her phone dinged, prompting her to sit up on the edge of her bed and open the lock screen.

Chloe: Good Morning! How are you?

Emily: Wishing I was still asleep. You?

Chloe: Strangely optimistic.

Emily checked the time on her phone before responding.

Emily: Why are you up right now, it's 4:30?

Chloe: I felt like running

Emily: lol, you? running?

Chloe: Yep.

Emily opened the next message that simply read 'download'. She clicked on it and saw a picture of Chloe. She was wearing a sports bra that had her breasts tightly pressed against her chest, and a white windbreaker that was unzipped only to the point that the bottom of the bra was visible. Along the top of the image was a small grin painted in red lipstick on Chloe's face.

Chloe's messy hair outlined the smile and completed the photo.

Looking at the image, Emily blushed, then responded to the image.

Emily: Hot

Emily: Where are you?

Chloe: Not far from your place ;)

Emily: Come over?

Chloe: Read my mind, be there in 5

Emily leapt out of bed, undressed and got in the shower as quick as possible.

As she turned off the water, she heard a knock from across the apartment.

Instead of getting dressed, Emily sprinted to the door and glanced out of the peephole. When she saw Chloe, she unlocked the door.

"Give me one minute, jus-Um, stay there for a sec." She turned from the door and ran back to her bedroom. She messily fixed the bed sheets with one hand, holding her towel up with the other. Then, she stepped over to her dresser and pulled out shorts and a tank top to slip on.

"Hey." Chloe's voice caused Emily to jump, then look over to the bedroom doorway.

There, she way Chloe standing in the outfit from the photo, but this time with her hands over her eyes.

Emily giggled when she saw the childish pose Chloe was set in.

"Can I open them?" Her head tilted towards Emily.

"No." She walked a few steps over to Chloe and stopped only when she was a few inches from her. She could feel the warmth of Chloe's body, as she was sure that Chloe felt hers.

Emily leaned in for a short, yet passionate kiss.

Chloe's bare thighs leaned against Emily's while she kept her hands over her eyes. Emily's hands snaked their way up to Chloe's wrists where they gripped and gently moved them away from Chloe's face as she pulled out of the kiss.

"You look beautiful." Emily said, interlocking her fingers with Chloe's by their waists.

"And you..." Her eyes scanned Emily's freshly showered body. She raised her face to Emily's ear and whispered playfully with a chuckle. "You look wet."

Emily blushed, then broke out in a fit of laughter.

"Aw, come on. Was that really so cheesy?" Chloe questioned as she did as Emily had, and fell backwards on the bed.

"Yes. Oh my god, it was terrible." She managed to speak between her giggles.

"You're adorable." Chloe shook her head, then propped herself up on her side so that she was facing Emily.

Emily's laughter had subsided, and her face became serious as she looked Chloe in the eyes.

Chloe, without breaking their gaze, rolled over so that she was on her knees above Emily.

Emily felt a familiar warmth in her chest. Then, the same butterflies appeared in her stomach as the first time they kissed.

"I love you." Emily whispered.

"I love you too, Em." Chloe put one hand around the side of Emily's torso, and snuggled the other into her hair. She slowly lowered herself. making sure to lead with her barely covered chest. Emily lifted her chin and closed her eyes, anticipating a kiss.

Instead, Chloe's head turned to the side of Emily's face, and spoke in a lowered tone. "But you're not getting any today."

Emily groaned as Chloe rolled off of her and back onto the bed.

"Instead, I'm taking you out."

"Out? Out where?" Emily sat up on the edge of the bed. Chloe got on her knees and sat on the bed behind her, wrapping her arms around Emily's shoulders.

"You'll see." She planted a kiss on Emily's cheek from behind, then jumped off of the bed and into the living room. She sat on the couch and turned on the tv before shouting over to Emily.

"Put on something comfy..." She lowered her voice. "This is gonna be fun."
