Chapter 19

he Love Letter Lovelies

by Glee-chan

19.

At the end of the week Sora gracelessly invited Shiho out to a weekend in her summer home. The invitation came almost out of nowhere and from the very moment it was suggested, Shiho wondered if there was alterer motive. Sure, there was the obvious motive of wanting to cheer Shiho up after her parents kicked her out, but Shiho was starting to understand Sora a bit better than what the pretty girl might not know. There was something else going on. At first she thought that maybe Sora wanted to break up with her, not being able to take on the weight of being in a relationship so quick, but Shiho quickly ruled that out. It was painfully obvious by now that Sora was way into her. So something else was going on.

When Friday came about, Shiho said her goodbyes to Kaede and her family, packed the few outfits she had, and went to Sora's house. She wasn't sure what to expect when she got there, and was surprised that Sora was already outside of her house packing a car. On seeing Shiho she beamed and ran up to her.

"I talked my aunt into drive us there." Sora explained.

"Oh… we won't be alone then?"

"Well…" Sora blushed, leaned in and whispered. "My Aunt knows about us. She's married, but she's got a boyfriend on the side. So she's using the chance to meet with her guy at a resort nearby. So we will be alone. But if my parents ask, we're all going together."

Shiho wondered if this was the big thing Sora was keeping from her. But something told her this wasn't really a big enough secret that she'd act shifty over. After all she just spilled the beans on her Aunt's affair without a care in the world. Pushing that aside, Shiho helped Sora and her Aunt pack the remainder of their things. Shiho felt embarrassed by her one bag, while the other two packed like they were leaving the country.

Once on the road, Shiho was invited to sit up front with the Aunt. Her name was Konoha, but she wanted Shiho to call her Kono-chan. It was odd, but she accepted the request. Sora sat in the backseat, though she was rarely in her seatbelt and was leaning in between their seats to join in on the conversation.

"Sora must really like you." Konoha told Shiho. "She practically begged me to drive you this weekend."

"She did?" Shiho glanced at Sora beside her, who didn't look embarrassed in the least.

"I kept telling her next weekend would be better, but she insisted that this weekend was the best."

"Aunty, don't give everything away." Sora pouted.

"What's so good about this weekend?" Shiho asked.

"No reason." Sora lied.

Konoha and Shiho exchanged looks. Her Aunt went a head with the conversation. "I hope you don't mind traveling with me."

"Why would I?" Shiho asked.

"Maybe Sora didn't tell you, but I'm having an affair."

"Uhh…" Shiho felt awkward now. "That's none of my business."

"It's not her fault, Shiho-tan." Sora lowered her eyebrows. "My Uncle cheats on her all the time, and is never home. Plus Aunty was forced into an arranged marriage so-"

"And you complain about ME giving everything away." Konoha cut Sora off. "Needless to say there is no love in our marriage. We have an informal openness about it. As long as our families don't find out about it, both of us continue to see other people."

"I see." Shiho didn't know what else to say.

"Forget about all that, how did you two meet?" Konoha could read Shiho's unease.

"She caught me scheming to get Kae back." Sora snickered. "She liked the girl Kae was seeing and we sort of hit it off that way."

"How strange."

"We sort of forgot all about that within hours, didn't we?" Sora nudged Shiho.

Smiled softly she nodded. "Sora-chan is sort of addicting."

"Have you two done it yet?"

Shiho blushed. Sora quickly answered for her. "Aunty! We just became serious!"

"Oh… so this weekend alone together is your attempt to romance her, huh?"

"It's not like that!" Sora blushed, but didn't deny it.

Shiho smiled despite herself. "I trust you Sora-chan." There was genuine relief on her face.

Konoha seemed to be left out of the loop on whatever the trust issue meant but seemed to let it slide. The drive was a long one, but by the time it was mid-afternoon Konoha pulled up to a beach house. Shiho couldn't believe it. It was bigger than her normal home in Yumuto. After they unlocked the door and dropped the luggage off, Konoho was back in the car and gone. For the first time since Shiho told her coming out story, she was completely alone with Sora.

Sora, meanwhile was busy showing Shiho the house. It was western in design, like her home in Yumuto, but it had a very beach feel to it. And it didn't feel lived in. Shiho wondered why they owned a bigger house at the beach, but Sora was busy showing her the huge pool in the back, and the even bigger bathrooms in the house. After the tour of the main house was over, Sora showed Shiho her second bedroom.

It looked very unlived in like the rest of the house, but had a similar layout as Sora's real room. The bed, Shiho noticed was a king sized and a water bed. Sora sat on it and her body rose up and down from the rocking current beneath her. She giggled and pulled Shiho with her. They bobbed for a bit then ended up wrestling each other in a bouncing tickle war. Once that was over they ended up laying next to each other out of breath.

"We're here." Sora breathed in. "It's kind of cool to know that it's just us, huh?"

"Yeah." Shiho agreed even if the thought was a bit embarrassing. She wondered what this big surprise Sora was holding back was. Did she expect Shiho and her to have sex? Part of Shiho wanted it, but the other part was still scared.

"Let go to the pool." Sora interrupted her thoughts.

"I don't have a swimsuit." Shiho told Sora.

"It's just us, you don't need a swimsuit. You be naked for a change."

"No way, that's embarrassing."

Sora laughed. "Okay I'll get naked too. We'll skinny dip."

"Are you sure that… that it's okay?" Shiho wondered about Sora's arousal meter.

"If… If you're not comfortable with it, then I guess you can try on some of my old swimsuits I got laying around here." Sora looked a bit taken back. "But I thought you said you trust me."

Sitting up, Shiho felt horrible. She grabbed Sora's hand. "I do trust you… I mean…" She stopped, realizing part of her didn't. At some point in the weekend, no matter how hard Sora tried, Shiho was sure that the pretty girl wouldn't be able to hold back. Perhaps if they got that fight out of the way it might be easier. But Shiho didn't want to feel that way. She wanted to trust Sora. It may be naive, but maybe the first step was to let her guard down. "…alright, lets skinny dip."

Sora looked bashful. "No, you don't have to if you don't want too."

"Yes I do." Shiho rolled off the waterbed ungracefully, which was the only way to get off of it. "If I want you to kiss me, one of us has to be naked, right?"

Laughing Sora shook her head. "We're a couple now, right? We don't have to follow that rule."

"Hmm, maybe you don't want to see me naked then?"

Flopping off the bed herself, Sora stumbled to her feet then yanked down her own skirt. "We're doing this."

Sora was undressed in seconds, while Shiho took slightly longer. It was the first time they were both naked since the first day they met. At that time Shiho wasn't that nervous, but now she felt self-conscious. Sora was practically drooling at her.

"I forgot how hot you are."

"Isn't that my line?" Shiho asked, remembering saying that to Sora when she asked her out.

"Come on. Let's get in the pool."

Feeling a bit unnerved walking through the house with no clothes on, Sora only stopped to get towels before leading Shiho to the pool. Once outside, again another new experience, Shiho forgot her nudity once they started jumping in the water and splashed about. They played for a while, wearing each other out. But once they both got out and reclined in the pool chairs, Shiho found herself admiring Sora's gleaming body. Sora seemed to notice and she pulled her recliner to Shiho's to form a make-shift double bed.

"You said I could kiss you right?" Sora asked, her playful personality softening

Shiho nodded. As Sora leaned in forward for the kiss, something made Shiho stop her. "Wait a moment." She looked troubled, but Shiho couldn't become serious with the looming question in her head.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on." Shiho couldn't take it anymore. "I want to know what you have planned."

"Uh… well I was gonna… uh." Sora looked a bit put back. "I guess I was going to start with a kiss, then maybe feel you up a bit-"

"Not that. The reason we came here THIS weekend."

"Oh, that." Sora sighed a bit disappointedly. "I'm not supposed to talk about that."

"What do you mean?" Shiho asked.

"I guess I'm not so good at secrets, huh?" Sora gave an innocent smile. "Don't tell the others I gave it away."

Shiho gave a frustrated expression. "Come out with it, already!"

"You're friend Yui Hino contacted me. She wanted you out of the way for the weekend so she and the others could…" Sora scratched the back of her head. "I shouldn't be telling you everything more, they wanted it to be a surprise."

"I won't tell them you told me." Shiho heart pounded.

"Man." Sora swore. "Well, those Lesbian Club friends of yours are going to your parents house and… they're going to get the rest of your stuff and bring it back to Kae's house. And they're going to ask them to assign temporary guardianship duties to Kae's Mom…. since you know, you're not living at home anymore."

"What!"

"I know!" Sora shrugged. "It's crazy! They wanted to handle it all without you there so it wouldn't be so rough on you. Your friend Yui was insistent that I… that I make you really happy this weekend."

"They are doing all that for me?" Shiho felt her eyes water.

"Wait… Don't start crying. You know I can't handle it." Sora's own eyes started to water.

"S-Sorry." Shiho shallowed the lump in her throat.
"Come here." Sora embraced her. "I can only imagine what it's been like for you… I just wanted to tell you that I think you're the bravest person I've ever met."

"It's not brave to get kicked out of your home." Shiho mumbled weakly.

"You stood up to your parents." Sora told her. "I don't know what I'll do when the time comes for me to tell my parents."

"I'll support you in whatever way I can." Shiho held her closer.

There was a long moment where all they did was hold each other. Despite being naked outside near a house that was foreign to her, she felt safe and comfortable in her arms. It was only a short time, but Shiho was starting to tell that she was falling for Sora big time. She didn't want her heart to leap over her head through. She wasn't a fool enough to think Sora felt the same way.

"Shiho-tan." Sora spoke after giving a quick kiss on Shiho's cheek. She was looking down, her face turning red. "It's selfish of me to ask you… but I want to be closer to you."

"Sora-chan…" Shiho body started to feel butterflies flutter along her skin.

"It's too soon, I understand… I just… I want you so bad."

"I know you do." Shiho looked at the pained look in Sora's eyes.

"I won't hurt you." Sora still couldn't look at her. "Not like before. I'll be gentle."

Not knowing what to do, Shiho turned away from Sora's face. She wanted the pretty girl as well. It was hard for her not too. She was so beautiful and her lustful looks definitely was a big turn on. She was so soft and so sexy, Shiho just wanted to give in. But in the back of her mind she knew that somewhere in Sora's brain lurked Kaede. If she gave in, would Sora be thinking of her? She knew Sora wouldn't intentionally do that to her, but she wouldn't put it passed her.

"I shouldn't have said anything." Sora quickly said. "I should just be happy with what I got."

Shiho bit her bottom lip. "I want to… but-"

"Don't say things like that…" Sora gave a sideways smirk. Her eyes had that fire behind them. "…It just makes me want you all the more."

Standing up Shiho started for the door. She turned around and saw Sora's disappointed face. Closing her eyes she summoned up her courage. Then opening them again she gave a tentative smile towards Sora. "My first time… isn't going to be next to a pool."

Sora's head shot up. "You mean…. you mean you want to…."

"I'm letting my guard down completely." Shiho spoke in a small voice. "I think it's time I trusted you completely. So from now on, I'm yours."

[End notes: When I was little my Mom and Dad had a water bed and me and my sister would play on it like Shiho and Sora. Maybe the two girls are bigger than what we were, but when I was writing it, I pictured the bed being WAY bigger than a King sized, because that's how it appeared to me and my sis back in the day.]
