Chapter 7
The pair lie together on the couch naked, finishing their wine and gently caressing each others bodies.
‘Bernie?’
‘Yes Serena?’
‘I don’t want to ruin a moment or anything but, what happens at work now? I mean, if you’re not ready to let people know then I understand and...’
‘Serena’ interrupts Bernie, ‘I’m ready. I love you and I want the world to know it. As long as you’re Ok with that of course?’
Serena can’t help but smile from ear to ear, her heart filling with joy at Bernie’s words
‘I’m ready’ she whispers and presses her lips to Bernie’s, sharing a soft, slow kiss. ‘Let’s go to bed’ says Bernie.
The next morning Bernie is awake first and she smiles down at the sight of her lover naked and draped spread eagle across the bed ‘now there’s a sight I could get used to waking up next to’ she thinks to herself.
For a long while she just lays there watching Serena sleep then heads to the kitchen to make them both a cup of coffee. Upon her return she finds Serena still fast asleep but now lay on her side so she places the coffees on the bedside table and slides in behind her, curling herself into Serena and realises how perfectly their bodies fit together.
‘Good Morning Miss Campbell’ she whispers into Serena’s ear.
Serena stirs and when she finally opens her eyes properly she turns her head to look at Bernie ‘Good Morning’ she greets her with a kiss.
‘I loved waking up with you this morning’ says Bernie before kissing her. ‘I made you a coffee’.
Serena glances at the coffee then back at Bernie ‘no-one has ever bought me a coffee in bed before’ she says.
‘Well I intend to treat you right Serena so get used to it’ says Bernie.
‘Where have you been all my life’ giggles Serena.
‘Would it be too cheesy to say searching for you’ says Bernie, and they can’t help but laugh as Serena wraps her arms around Bernie and they kiss again. Things start to get a little heated and Serena wraps her leg over Bernie’s waist. ‘Now now Miss Campbell, we have work to get to, I don’t think we have time for that’.
‘Then maybe we should save time and fuck in the shower’ says Serena as she jumps out of bed and heads toward the bathroom.
‘My God I love you ‘ says Bernie as she follows her across the room.
