8 – A Start of Something New
H woke up alone in bed. It’s nine in the morning according to the bedside clock.
She stretched her limbs before sitting on the center of the bed. She felt goosebumps on her skin when the sheets poll down her lap. The cool temperature of the room embraced her exposed skin.
She slept late the night before but last night was one of the best sleeps she had in a long time.
She found herself watching the rise and fall of Yna’s chest as she sleeps. Nothing happened between them. Yna was firm when she said that she does not do sex on the first date. However, what transpired between them was far more intimate than taking their clothes off.
She had never bared her soul to anyone. She never tells a soul what happened to her on the night that her son was conceived. Even her own mother thought that her own grandson come about because she wanted to have a child. Some thought, she had a one-night stand with a man that led to her having a son.
Her mother was happy when she learned that she left the army. She was not flattered when H decided to join the military when she graduated from high school. Not even when her own daughter was promoted. However, her happiness multiplied tenfold when she found out that she will be a grandmother soon. Her folk thought that she left the army because she will start a family.
Her mom knew that she swings on the other team. She already accepted the fact that she will have a daughter-in-law rather than a son-in-law. It was a disappointment when she discovered that her daughter will be raising a child alone but when she held her grandson for the first time, she loved the boy without reservations. She did not even question who the father was.
H did not know how Yna did it. For so little time, that woman captured her heart. Her brown eyes may have innocence in them but it carries understanding. The last time she felt like this was when she left on her last tour. She and Georgina were still together. Their relationship was already rocky because of her job and her reputation with women in general. She was never faithful and Georgina has caught her infidelity for more than a couple of times.
A few months into the camp, her best friend called her to tell her that he and Georgina fell in love. It was one of the lowest times of her life but she has to let go of Georgina because she knew that the girl deserves better. And, her best friend was a good man.
She was not able to attend their wedding. She was fighting for her life during the time of their wedding ceremony. She sent them her wishes the next day.
H looked around. Yna was nowhere inside the bedroom. No one was using the shower, too.
She made the bed like she always did before entering the bathroom.
She put on gray sweatpants and another white, vee-neck shirt she found in the closet.
The smell of bacon assaulted her nose when she exited the bedroom. Barefoot, she marched toward the kitchen.
A smile painted her lips when she caught sight of her girlfriend. She was wearing a silk robe and holding a pair of tongs in one hand. Ynara had her back on her.
“Good morning, H.” Her girlfriend greeted without even looking.
Frowning, H walks normally. She was trying not to make any sound at the thought of surprising Yna but the woman has eyes at the back of her head.
Yna pressed something on the stove before facing her. A welcoming smile was displayed on her lips.
“Good morning, babe!” H exclaimed with a wide smile.
She gathered the smaller woman in her arms. She kissed her on the lips. Her girlfriend responded eagerly.
She smiled in between their kiss when Yna put her hands on her nape. She scoops the shorter woman and put her on top of the counter.
Yna ended their kiss and pressed their foreheads together.
“Hi. Did you have a good night's sleep?”
“I did. I thought sex was a great pill for a good sleep.”
“I hope sex would leave your mind even for a sec.” Yna followed it with a pinch of her nose.
“Not when you’re just wearing a pair of panties underneath the silk robe.” She smirked at her girlfriend. “Can we have sex later?”
Her girlfriend laughed. Her gray eyes meet her brown orbs. The beautiful girl in her arms kissed her but left her mouth too soon.
“Put me down. Let’s have breakfast.”
She grabbed her waist and lifted her off the counter. When both her feet were on the floor, Yna prepared for the coffee.
“You’ve been hurting my ego, you know. You’ve been turning me down. Women threw themselves at me.” She grumbled with a pout. She made sure that her voice was laced with enough dejection. She really likes it.
She pulled a chair and sit on it.
Yna placed a cup of coffee beside her hand. “Poor you. Your heart must have been bleeding.”
She felt a kiss on top of her head before her new girlfriend occupied the chair in front of her.
“Babe, this is the longest that I never had sex. Ever since I taste that mouth, I never wanted to kiss another. You must have cast a spell on me. And I’m not kidding, really.”
“Bacon?”
She sighed in defeat before nodding. She watched Yna put food on her plate.
How could this woman resist her flirting? She has been thinking about that a lot. She has been trying to lure her into bed but this woman has been rejecting her. No matter how subtle, it was a rejection still.
She tried to set her eyes on other women but to no avail. One time, she was in the middle of the make-out session when she suddenly felt uncomfortable to continue. The woman left her with a stinging cheek.
“Don’t you want to have sex with me?” She asked before she start feeding herself.
She really felt bad now. Instead of answering her question, her girlfriend laughed.
“You act like you’re sex-deprived,” Yna stated with a chuckle.
“But I am!”
She bit on her hotdog in frustration. Her girlfriend for two days now is watching her with a smile on her lips. The gorgeous girl in front of her seems happy at the expense of her own frustration.
“Don’t you miss sex, babe?”
Yna meets her eyes and stares at her intently. She sighed before responding. “How could I miss something I didn’t do?”
She swallowed hard when she comprehends the truth from her words. Her girlfriend looked away and continue eating her breakfast like she did not say anything vital.
H was back to herself when she heard the silverware falling on the table. She hit the cup in surprise. She stood up immediately when the hot coffee spilled on her lap.
“Damn!”
She found Yna watching her. Her girlfriend remained on her seat looking at the tall woman made a mess of herself. She even sips her coffee like she was watching the weather.
“Babe!”
“Yes?”
“A little help maybe.”
Yna pushed her chair back and stood up. H found herself watching her girlfriend’s ass as Yna turned around to get to something from the top cabinet.
Swearing to herself, she went back to the bedroom to take another shower. Her mind has been clouded knowing that her girlfriend for two days is still a virgin. Damn, how could she be so lucky to find a gem like her.
She read from the very few details that she gathered that Yna is already twenty-six years old. An attractive woman like her surely has suitors lined up.
Henrietta, don’t mess this up. She said to herself like a mantra.
