9 Nine

Christa pressed the top floor button on the elevator. When she got there, she walked over to Bella's door and knocked. She opened up the door breathing heavily, "Nice to," she took a moment to breathe before regaining her composure, "Nice to see you again!" She reached over and hugged Christa. Christa could feel Bella's front pressed against her own. As Bella pressed closer, Christa could feel her toned stomach, and her soft arms around her.

Christa's face turned a light shade of pink as she pushed Bella away, "So, where's my room?" She asked awkwardly.

"Actually, I've been meaning to tell you this, but we're going to have to share a room."

Christa's face turned pinker, "What? Why?"

"Well, the media is a bit intrusive now a days, and if they were to find out that we were sleeping in separate rooms, then they'd get all over it with a headline like, 'Model Isabel Boxford, and her lover's relationship is in shambles!'. Do ya get it?"

"I guess so." Christa lied, her face still a bright pink. She didn't know why she was so nervous, she wasn't actually in love with Bella, and it's not like she was going to be sleeping in the same room as a man, there wasn't anything to worry about, right?

"I'm actually gonna show you around so you'll get used to it." Announced Bella.

"Okay." Responded Christa, still in thought.

Bella took her over to the living room, "We've already been here, so I'm just going to move on." Christa admired the room's immaculate modern design before following Bella into another room, "This is the kitchen, the fridge will always be stocked, so you can eat whenever." It was a large kitchen with marble countertops and a small bar. Bella then took her to the small dining room, for themselves most of the time, and the large dining room, which was for when they had guests over. She showed off the game room, which had a pool table and a ping pong table, as well as a large round table, and the guest bathroom before bringing her out to the patio. There was a small pool and a few chairs for sunbathing, "You can hang out here whenever you feel like it," began Bella, "but watch out for the drones, sometimes the media sends them up here to spy on me." She added casually.

"They what now?!?" Asked Christa in shock.

"Sometimes they send them up here, and there's nothing I can do about it cuz I don't know who sent them." She shrugged, "Moving on!" Christa looked at the skyline suspiciously before following Bella back inside. Bella then finally went to their bedroom, there was a king bed with expensive looking sheets, and a nightstand on either side. The modern aesthetic continued throughout, "You can just put your stuff over there for now." She pointed at a door and Christa opened it. There was a large walk in closet inside full of expensive dresses and clothing. Christa looked around before putting her backpack down on one side and walking back over to Bella. "Here's the bathroom." They went through another doorway to see a glass shower and a large bathtub. There were also two vanities with mirrors and sinks. Then, the doorbell rang. "Oh that must be the movers!" Bella chimed, "You can just wait here, they're gonna bring the boxes, okay?"

"Yeah, sounds good." Bella left to answer the door. Christa sat in silence on the bed for a few minutes, before the movers came in. They each placed a few boxes before leaving.

"Thank you so much!" Came Bella's voice from the front door. It shut closed and Bella came back to the bedroom. Christa checked her phone. It was already 9:30 pm, and she was ready to go to sleep.

"Hey Bella," Christa began, "I know it's not really late yet, but I'm gonna go to sleep, is that alright?"

"Yeah, I think I'm going to sleep too. You can unpack tomorrow. In the meantime, what do you like to sleep in?"

Christa blushed, even though she didn't know why, "Just some shorts and a t-shirt."

"Okay, come with me to the closet." She went over to it and turned on the light inside, "Are you coming?"

"Yeah!" Replied Christa hastily. By the time she got there, Bella threw her a shirt and some shorts.

"There you go." Bella grabbed her own shirt and shorts before starting to change.

Christa could feel her face burning up, "You're changing here?" She asked.

"Yeah...? We're both girls, it doesn't matter, right?" Bella paused and then smiled, "Unless you're in love with me for real?"

"What-no, no, I was just wondering." She blushed even more.

Bella giggled, "I was just teasing! If you're uncomfortable, I can go to the bathroom."

"No, it's fine dont worry about it!" Said Christa, still embarrassed.

"Okay." Bella continued to change. Christa took off her shirt as well. She couldn't help but peek over at Bella. She looked up her smooth hips, slowly reaching her face before looking away and finishing changing.

She walked over to the bed and asked, "Which side is mine?"

Bella walked out of the closet and turned off the lights, "You can have whichever." Christa took the farther side and pulled up the covers. Bella slid in on the other side, "Good night, babe." Giggled Bella.

Christa was sure that her face turned bright red, and she was grateful that the lights were out, "Y-yea. Good night." After a few minutes, Christa could feel Bella drift to sleep. She tried to sleep, and after about half an hour later, she finally was out. She closed her eyes wondering how she had ended up there, but in truth, it didn't matter to her, she had finally found somewhere to belong.
