Chapter 1
Chloe woke up to the sun shining in through the open window and the sound of running water through the open door a few feet away. Smiling she slowly stumbles towards the bathroom with a big, goofy grin forming on her face, as she enters she can't help but chuckle at what she hears.
Singing over the sound of the running water is none other than her beautiful queen, Victoria Chase, singing an off beat version of Taylor Swift's "bad blood". As Chloe steps out of her boxer shorts and takes off her tank top she stops to contemplate grabbing her favorite toy from under their bed, but after a quick glimpse of Victoria's beautiful butt (Chloe's favorite part of her girlfriends body) she decides that it'll have to wait. As she slowly slides the door open she sees Victoria turn around and smile a soft smile and Chloe is reminded of exactly what made her fall for her in the first place. The first time she actually saw Victoria smile at her it was like angels singing and the sun was shining only on them. That was the smile she saw now, the one she woke up to every morning and saw every time they were both home after a long day.
As Victoria stands there smiling she backs up and crooks a finger and that's all Chloe needed. As Chloe steps in she pulls in her queen for a slow, loving kiss. After breaking the kiss, Victoria runs her hands through Chloe's short "faux hawk" hair do trying to get the product out from the day before. Victoria is the first to speak "I definitely like this look a lot better" as she's shaking it like she were rubbing a dog's head, "easy maintenance and it makes you look so tough, makes you feel like my protector, like a queens secret service agent or something. "
At this Chloe just laughs and whispers in her ear " I can make you feel all sorts of things, just follow me back to bed", but Victoria just laughs and after giving Chloe a peck on the nose says "you know I can't now, I have two meetings today and you have to go meet the people hosting your next show so they can tell you everything and you can pretend to listen. "
Both women exit the shower after very attentively washing and a few moments of neither wanting to let the other go.
"Can't you go for me?" Chloe asks
"No, because you need to be responsible for the art you unleash upon the world. "
"What about with me? We can go to an early dinner afterwards? " before she can answer Chloe continues "I kinda already made reservations at your favorite place."
While both women are helping each other dry off Victoria just stops and smiles "really? What's the special occasion? "
"Who says there is one? Maybe I just didn't want to deal with those people alone and thought this would guarantee your company. Or maybe I just love you and want to have a night out with the most beautiful and loving woman that I know."
Victoria just blushes and then says "Oh my God. You are the cutest thing ever. Ok, you win, I'll meet you at the gallery."
"Sweet, now want to help me get the right outfit ready? Wouldn't want to embarrass you." Chloe grins, as she helps Victoria with her bra and then her favorite necklace, the one Chloe gave them after one year of dating, the night they both said "I love you. " for the first time. The first time Victoria truly felt loved.
After about 15 minutes Victoria laid out what she felt was perfect: a clean, white button up shirt, black slacks, Chloe's black suit jacket (the only jacket that didn't have band patches on it), nice loafers, Chloe's watch that she got from her father and the tie that Victoria always fawns over when Chloe wears it. All in all a simple, but professional (and handsome )ensemble.
Immediately Chloe sighs, "Do I need the tie? You know how uncomfortable they make me."
Victoria replies "No, silly, that's just for dinner, you know the rules, if you're going to wear a shirt and jacket, you need a tie. However I could always put you in a dress, lIke the one I have hanging on the door, except that's mine for tonight."
"What? And ruin the image of the stud who landed the lovely maiden? I think I'll pass."
"Alright then, you big, adorable dork" looking at her watch Victoria continues "I have to get going babe. I still have to get my coffee, just text me when you're headed to the gallery, ok?" Victoria says as Chloe pulls her in for a long, sweet passionate kiss
"Thank you, Victoria. It means a lot you going with me. I love you so much. "
"I love you too. You know I'll do anything for you. I'll see you this evening. " and with that Victoria moved towards the front door grabbed her keys and bag and headed off.
After her car was out of the driveway Chloe collapsed on their bed and lazily reached into her nightstand, pulling out a small box. Opening it up to look at the ring inside she smiled and thought to herself about how she can't wait until dinner, when her and Victoria can begin a brand new chapter together.
