Chapter 21

All through dinner I must admit I was pretty talkative thanks to a combination of bad jokes from both Isabelle and her dad and then the avoidance of my leaving was also a contributor to the fact that the night held a relaxed manor. I smiled and laughed and we spoke about a whole heap of trivial things. But they all helped me stay off track from darker thoughts. Isabelle and I "volunteered" to do the dishes and Mr. Samsa went out to check on the cattle with the rest of the workers. It started off alright and we made our way through most of the dishes. Until Isabelle decided to splash me.
"What was that for?" I asked incredulously laughing as I looked at Isabelle.
"Nothin' but I'm awesome coz I've done my part of the job. Come on, chop, chop! Get a move on Lil, you're slowing the team down!"
I scrunch my nose up and poke my tongue out at my friend. "Hey that's no fair! I'm drying and putting away thank you!" I throw the tea towel melodramatically before taking a scoop of the water and splashing it on my friend. She wasn't expecting it and I must admit I scooped more water than I expected and I looked at her front laughing both at what I had done and the expression of my friend. "Oh…my…god I'm so sorry Isa-" my apology is cut short by Isabelle laughing and splashing me again with the water. I dodge it however laughing back at her.
"Oh, so you think it's funny huh?" She asks comically taking a handful of what little bubbles were left.
"Noo, no, no! Don't you dare!" I make my way away from my friend laughing as I watch her with careful eyes. I feel a little safe being on the other side of the counter but from the look on Isabelle's face she isn't going to let that stop her from getting to me. And getting her revenge.
"Oh, I dare!" she answers tauntingly licking her lips. I can see her thinking behind her eyes and I bite my lower lip nervously, my knees bent and legs prepared to dash. She mock steps to one direction and I step to the other side. We go in the opposite direction for a moment and we have a total Mexican standoff in the middle of the kitchen. Then Isabelle makes a move that I don't expect leaping over the bench and she puts the bubbles in my hair tussling my hair deliberately making a mess of it. "HA!"
"Noooo, no, hey qui-quit it Isabelle!" I laugh pulling away and trying to turn my head away. Isabelle laughs and before I can get too far away she brings me back close to her again pulling my by the waist into her arms.
"Okay I'm sorry and I'll prove it to you." She pulled me into a kiss holding me close. She kisses away from my mouth, her lips beginning to travel down my neck. I press hard against her in pleasure when she nibbles the skin softly and my body jerks when she runs her tongue up the length of my neck.
"Isabelle!"
"What? Did…did I go too far?" She asks pulling away bashfully.
"N-no…I just didn't expect it. It felt…funny."
Isabelle laughs leaning back on the bench. "Funny good?"
"I don't know." I bite my lip. I had never really flirted with anyone before. But I guess with Isabelle I should…try? "But I uh…maybe if you did it again?" I press up against her not really knowing what I was doing and expose my neck to her a little. My face felt like it was on fire and I saw Isabelle blush as well. She's nervous too and I feel my heart racing like it's in a marathon as Isabelle leans forward slowly this time and kisses me at the bottom of my neck before drawing her tongue up my neck a second time. I feel my body tingle and a shiver runs down my spine. I moan and my hands grasp Isabelle's shirt. Isabelle pulls away her face was red and she cast her eyes down licking her lips and looking up at me occasionally. Her hands begin to play with my hair and I listen to both our breaths as I lean my head on her shoulder. We're both breathing abnormally. I try and remember how to regulate it. Do I always breathe this loud? I find myself questioning as I let out a long drawn breath.
"Funny g-good?" Isabelle asks me again.
"Not funny. Just good." I whisper back. "Really good." I blush at saying that again and hold Isabelle tighter and my mind is a jumble from what had just transpired.
"Well, I'll keep that in mind." Isabelle answered chuckling.
I nodded my head blushing deeper and then pull away laughing nervously as I tidied my hair a bit. "We-well we should really." I swallow suddenly having a dry throat as I step sidelong toward the sink. "We should probably finish up with the dishes." I say nodding my head.
"Oh, yeah…" Isabelle smiles and follows me as she lets the water out of the sink. I pick up a plate and start drying it. Once dry Isabelle takes it from me smiling as she does so. "Here. I'll put them away, you can just dry that way."
"Right."

**^**

"So you'll be heading off tomorrow?"
"Ah, yup. Dad will be over at nine to get me. We'll go to my house so that I can get some things then we're off to Melbourne."
"You have the key to your house?"
"Yeah, mum got me a spare one cut. For emergencies. Like if she had to work back late at the restraint."
"That's good." I was already in the bed and under the covers. Isabelle however hadn't even gotten changed yet. She stretched and yawned before beginning to take off her shirt. I turn over in the covers my face turning red. But I can't help but glance over toward Isabelle. She smiles at me and turns around as she lips off her bra. While her back is turned I re-adjust how I laid so that I could watch her better. Her back looked so smooth and soft. I was tempted to get up and run my hand down it.
"Isabelle." She's about to put on her night shirt and I sit up my heart racing. "Wait." I see Isabelle stand there for a moment. She doesn't turn around but I'm sure she can hear me as I get out of my bed and make my way over to her.
"Delilah?"
"I…I want to. I mean; can I try something?" I ask timidly.
"Okay."
I pull my own nightshirt over my head and wring it in my hand for a second before dropping it down. I bring my hands to her waist slowly wrapping them around Isabelle's mid-section. Her skin shivers and I hear her take an intake of breath when I press my bare chest up to her bare back. I lean my body to Isabelle's and feel a shoot of arousal when Isabelle moans a little in response to the position I put us in. She puts her hands on my arms and links our hands. And this is how we stand for a little while before we both get used to the feeling.
"You're really warm Lil."
"You are too you know." I blush and take my hands from around her and pick up my shirt and go back to the bed. I sit cross legged and watch Isabelle as she half-turns around covering herself up a little.
She opens her mouth as if to say something and I catch a glimpse of the lust in her eyes. She shakes her head and laughs as she bends over to pick up her night shirt. She puts it on quickly this time and strips off her jeans so that she can come over and jump under the covers with me. "That's all you wanted to try?" She asks raising her eye brows at me.
"For now." I lean forward and give her a kiss and a smile. "Think of it as a…going away gift."
"Hmm, well thank you. I liked it."
"Glad that you did." I say back blushing as we lay down facing each other. Isabelle rolled on her back and reached for the lamp. She flicked the switch and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the dark. But Isabelle's face was so close to mine that it was impossible to ignore her eyes that seemed to shine even in the dark. "Goodnight Isabelle."
"Night."
