Some (of your love)
“We could watch a movie, hit the beach, or just chill and get high.
And we can do whatever you wanna do”
“Alright, this was a mistake. I can’t. I can’t risk my job” Agatha is pacing around nonstop in her living room, minutes after inviting Rio over to her place.
“Stop freaking out” Wanda then grabs Agatha by the arms and forces her to stop walking in circles. “You are making me dizzy, sit your ass down” she points to the couch. “Now, take a deep breath and tell me what you’re thinking”
Agatha does what she says and looks at her “I can’t let a little crush ruin this opportunity for me. I get such a big paycheck at the hospital…”
“Okay… it’s not illegal, you know?”
“It is unethical and inappropriate. If someone finds out, I could get fired. Because of a silly crush on a hot basketball player” she says it as if she wants to make herself want to give up on the date.
“I would never tell, and I’m the only one who knows about it.” She takes Agatha’s hands “And honestly, I don’t think it’s just a crush, otherwise you wouldn’t be fighting it so much. You wouldn’t be considering it so much. Give it a chance. Just have some fun tonight and then see what happens”
Agatha nods.
Few minutes after Wanda leaves she decides to text Rio.
Me
Hey, you there?
It takes Rio about five minutes to reply.
Rio Vidal
Hey! Sorry it took me so long, I was watering my plants
Me
No worries, five minutes it’s not long.Were you tiring yourself? You know you’re not supposed to do that, Rio.
Rio Vidal
You deserve my availability. No doctor talk, please
Me
It’s hard not to do it when I’m literally your doctor
Rio Vidal
Not right now you’re not.
Me
I’m afraid this would be too complicated
Rio Vidal
What are you saying?
Agatha doesn’t answer right away and Rio immediately calls and without thinking, she accepts the call.
“Agatha, do you not wanna see me tonight?” Rio sounds a bit down on the phone
“Rio… It’s not appropriate…”
“But do you want to see me?” She insists.
“I can’t lose my job, I just got hired”
“Agatha, do.you.want.to.see.me?” Her voice is lower than usual now.
It takes Agatha a few seconds but she agrees “Yes…” almost whispering.
“Then let me see you tonight”
“Rio, you don’t understand…”
“Just have this one date with me, I won’t tell a soul. And if even after that you don’t want me, I’ll back off. But let me make you dinner tonight.” Rio can’t see, but Agatha is smiling a bit.
“Oh, you’re cooking now? Didn’t know you knew how to” Both of them are smirking
“I am full of surprises, Harkness… You’ll see”
“I guess I will”
“So that means I can come over?”
“Please be aware of your surroundings when you come. I’m texting you my address.”
“Will do, m’lady” She can hear Agatha chuckling.
“Bye, Vidal.”
“See you soon” and Agatha hangs up. She rests her head on her hands and breathes heavily. I can’t believe I’m doing this, she tells herself.
It’s 7PM, Lilia picked up Nicholas at 6 so Agatha could get ready. Oh, I forgot to mention Lilia is Agatha’s mother figure? My bad! Lilia Calderu took Agatha under her wings when she was young and looking for freelance jobs to pay rent. This job at the clinic was the first one she got without Lilia’s help. Or so she thinks.
Agatha’s room was a mess, all of her wardrobe was on the floor. She couldn’t decide whether to look casual or sexy. Her eyes landed on an old dress, it wasn’t fancy, but it was both casual and sexy. She put it on, just to see if it still fits and it did. The dress was dark green, silky and long. Back cleavage, because why not show off her time at the gym? Her make up was done. Basic, a bit of concealer, mascara and lipgloss. Her hair was down and wavy and she smelled like Madagascan Vanilla, Cedarwood Oil, Ambergris Accord and Musk (I’m taking my time to describe YSL’s Libre perfume). It was exactly 7:05 PM and her doorbell rang.
Just when she opened the door, the figure of the woman she - just had a crush on. She was not THAT interested. Just.a.crush - was standing right in front of her. A sweet scent came along with the wind, Agatha wondered what perfume was that. Rio was wearing dark jeans and a button up white shirt that looked a bit oversized on her. She had a white lace bra on, Agatha could only see it because the shirt was falling from her shoulder, not because she was staring. Of course not. Agatha’s eyes landed on Rio’s red lipstick and-
“Could you help me out with the bags or are you busy staring at me?” Rio had the biggest smirk one had ever seen. Without saying anything, Agatha grabbed the bags from the floor.
“Come in. Do you need help?” She says while putting the groceries on the dinner table. Her dinner table was outside of the kitchen.
“Nope. I got it.” Rio had both her canes this evening.
“How are you going to cook having two canes under your armpit?” Agatha put both her hands on her own hips staring at Rio.
It took a few seconds for Rio to say something. She was busy checking Agatha out.
“You look beautiful” and then she started to stutter “you look go-gorgeous. pe-perfect. fuck-” the curse was under her breath “you’re hot, Agatha”.
“Are you also in need of a speech doctor?” Agatha smirks and chuckles a bit. She moves closer to Rio and says “You’re not so bad yourself” while fixing her shirt that was still falling from her shoulder.
“Green is my favorite color, you know?” Rio is still checking the dress out.
“Unfortunately you don’t have my favorite color on you tonight” Agatha said while looking at Rio up and down, down and up.
“You haven’t seen the color of my underwear”
“So you have purple underwear on?”
“I might…” Eye to eye flirting increasing the hot heat in the air.
“mm… well, shall you get dinner started then? I’ll open a bottle of wine” She then walks into the chickens with groceries in hand.
Rio managed to start dinner just fine. She did have to ask Agatha to cut a few more pieces of cheese. Agatha looked her dead in the eyes and said no, but then did it anyway. It was when Rio was about to finish it, by putting the white sauce over the pasta, that she lost balance, her other leg, the one with the knee injury, tried to save her from the fall, but, of course, it made it worse by putting her weight on it and hurting it. Agatha was in the kitchen and saw it happen, it was when Rio was about to fall, face to the floor, that Agatha held her by the waist and didn’t let her fall.
“Rio, oh my god. Are you okay?” She turned Rio to face her and held her tight.
“My knee hurts” Tears were threatening to fall down
Agatha takes Rio to the couch bridal style, the living room is near. When she finally lays Rio down, she runs to the kitchen to get ice, to put over her knee.
“Here, don’t move. I’m putting ice over it. How bad is it on a scale of one to ten?” Agatha is kneeling right by her side.
“it’s a six, now. But it hurt like hell for a moment”
“Your knee is still very fragile. I knew I shouldn’t have let you cook or stand for that long” She’s now stroking Rio’s hair. She did not notice that.
“It will be fine. I wanted to cook for you” Rio was now facing Agatha
“You could cook for me some other time, not so short after your surgery.” She still haven’t noticed she’s stroking Rio’s hair
“You’re really strong, that was hot as fuck” Rio’s comment makes Agatha chuckle
“Well, I see you’re better”
“Do you work out?” Agatha’s hand stops on her shoulders now.
“I do, five times a week, six when I don’t have a date” Looking Rio right in the eyes, she smiles, or… smirks? Not sure.
“Do you work out six times a week often?” Rio’s little way of asking if Agatha has other suitors makes her laugh
“Yes, Rio” Rio can’t help but smile “Do you think you can stand up with your healthy leg or do you need more time?”
“I kinda wanna lie so you could carry me to the table” Agatha laughs and without thinking she picks Rio up, bridal style again, and takes her to the dinner table. “This is your last request of the night” She points a finger to Rio’s face, looking serious.
“Wait” She grabs Agatha “I have just one more thing to ask” Agatha nods giving Rio permission to ask “Can I get a kiss?” Agatha chuckles and leans down, pressing her lips to Rio’s and giving her a quick kiss.
“That’s all you get” She smiles and walks away to the kitchen to grab their plates. Rio smiles to herself.
When Agatha returns, Rio is filling up their glasses with more wine.
“Trying to get me drunk, are ya?”
“Trying to get us both drunk” Rio winks playfully and Agatha sits by her side.
“Okay, let’s see what you got” She tries the pasta and moans while tasting it. Rio looks at her incredulously and feeling lucky to have heard that. “Okay, this is incredible”
“I could tell by that sound you made”
“Exclusive to when I have things that make me feel good” She looks at Rio, giving her a smile and Rio has her mouth open in a moment of shock. They don’t comment more on that. While they were eating, they decided to get to know each other a little more. Rio told her about how she got into basketball, that a guy saw her play and that was pretty much it, Agatha laughed at how easy it was for her. Rio asked Agatha about her interests and found out they have similar taste in music but would also dance to anything.
“I actually have a record of them, do you want me to put it on?” Agatha asks
“Yes!” Rio gets up with the help of Agatha and they go to the living room. Agatha has this beautiful part of the room dedicated to her collection of vinyl records and CDs and her vinyl player is actually very old, so sometimes she spanks it to get it working.
“There you go!” After two smacks, music starts.
“I wish I could dance” She gestures to her knee and looks at Agatha with sad puppy eyes.
“Come here, let me hold you” Agatha rests both her hands on Rio’s waist and one of her arms fly to Agatha’s neck “let go of the cane, Rio” she whispers. Rio does as she’s told.
Now both her arms rest on Agatha’s neck. They dance to “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac. And from this moment on, the chapter is inspired by this song.
We better make a start, you better make it soon before you break my heart
The song is upbeat, but they dance in their own rhythm, partly because Rio can’t jump around or anything.
“You are great at leading” Rio finally breaks the silence, looking Agatha right in the eyes, almost as if she’s telepathically asking to be kissed.
“You’re easy to lead” She says it almost too quickly
“I’m gonna take it as a complement so I don’t get hurt”
“I wouldn’t wanna hurt you…” The words came out of Agatha’s mouth without her realizing it. It was like her body was betraying her logical mind. Before Rio can answer, she kisses her. The kiss is slow, tender and careful at first. Almost as if Agatha was testing the waters. Her hands were caressing Rio’s back.
It was when Rio pushed Agatha closer by her neck that she held Rio’s waist tighter. The kisses were getting slowly faster, slowly messy, slowly hungrier. Agatha’s moved to Rio’s hips, putting her impossibly closer, Rio moaned at the feeling making Agatha swallow it. Without giving much thought, Agatha picked Rio up, making her intertwine her legs around Agatha’s waist and make a whine surprised sound which Agatha swallowed again.
Rio bit Agatha’s lips and used the moment to deepen the kiss, using more tongue than before. Agatha hummed against her lips, which Rio felt, making her whole body shiver.
Agatha then walked forward and layed Rio on the couch, immediately spreading her legs a little and pressing her thigh to where Rio needed pressure. Rio starts to rock back on her thigh, craving more pressure. Agatha then starts to trace wet kissing on the curve of her neck.
“Oh, shit”, Rio moans and Agatha starts to unbutton her shirt with just one hand, while the other is occupied holding Rio still. “Carajo…” When Rio mumbles Spanish so close to Agatha’s ear, it makes her dizzy.
“Rio…you know spanish?” She mumbles in between kisses
“I’m Puerto Rican, thought you knew that doc” Agatha pulls her hair and she moans
“No doctor talk” She warns by looking Rio direct in the eyes “and I’m gonna lose it if you say one more word in spanish”
“Y por qué haría eso si te vuelves loca así, mami?” Rio smirks and Agatha takes her lips furiously making both of them moan at the same time.
Rio brings Agatha to her lap, coping her ass and squeezing it hard, making Agatha rock her hips against Rio’s. Rio then lifted the older woman’s dress to feel her skin and squeeze her ass even harder this time. Agatha lifted her torso, facing Rio. Now her shirt was completely open and Agatha started to trace her finger through her belly, giving her shivers and consequently making her nipples hard, which Agatha could happily see through the lace see-through bra Rio was wearing. Agatha decided to take her breast with her mouth over the bra first, and then slowly putting aside. Her hand, instead of going to the other breast, makes its way down to the edge of Rio’s pants and with that, her mouth leaves Rio’s breast and with her tongue, she traces her way down to Rio’s lower belly, opening her jeans with only her teeth, breathing so close to Rio’s clit now, making the younger woman whimper in need. When she lifts herself up again, her dress is falling down, revealing her own chest area, and to Rio’s liking, she had no bra on.
“Fuck, you’re gorgeous Agatha” and Agatha can’t help it but lean down and kiss her again.
Everything is going so fast, they weren’t really thinking about it. Agatha’s mind decides to take over and she abruptly breaks the kiss and stands up.
“What-” Rio sits up immediately with a worried look on her face
“Rio, this is going way too fast, we shouldn’t-” She fixes her dress while stressfully trying to talk.
“Did I do something wrong?” Rio has such a surprised and worried look on her face that Agatha realizes the state she left the other woman. She sits by her side.
“No! no. I’m sorry, I’m just… I don’t think we should do this now. It’s too fast, it’s-” Rio puts herself back together while listening and then puts a hand on Agatha’s hand, squeezing it.
“Hey, it 's cool. I would never want to do something you don’t want to, it’s fine.” Rio looks down, a bit disappointed, but it wasn’t because they didn’t have sex, it was because she thought Agatha didn’t want to have sex with her.
Agatha realizes it quickly, then takes Rio’s face on her hands, making her look up “I do want to. I just think we shouldn’t right now. Especially with me still being your doctor” Rio rolled her eyes and tried to speak but Agatha carried on before she could “and I know we said no doctor talk and you don’t wanna hear it, but it’s complicated. It might not be to you, you have all the girls you want, but I care about this job, Rio.” She did not notice just how jealous she sounded to Rio.
“I have all the girls I want?” Rio repeated it and smirked at Agatha, who immediately let go of her face sighing. “you sounded a little jealous Dr Harkness”
“That’s what you got from everything I just said?” Agatha raised both her eyebrows at Rio
“Care to explain?” Rio now is the one raising her eyebrow and it makes Agatha shake her head “I’m holding you to this, sweetheart” Agatha tried to hide her blush over the new pet name. Right when Rio is about to say something else, Agatha’s phone starts to ring. She stands up and looks at Lilia’s name on the screen.
“Sorry, I have to take this” Rio gives her an understanding smile. She goes to the kitchen, in search of privacy.
Rio stands up, putting the weight on one leg to grab the cane and turns the music off.
“What happened?” Agatha is already thinking the worst
“Nothing happened, calm down Agatha” Lilia orders her on the other side of the line. “Nicky wants to say goodnight to you, I thought you wouldn’t answer, so I guess the date has already left?”
“No, she’s still here. Let me talk to him”
“Then why on earth did you answer? Are you not getting some? I feel like I’m babysitting for nothing” Lilia tries to make the mood lighter but fails miserably.
“I would stop everything to answer a call about him and ew, stop talking like that, you sound like a first year college student.” She hears Lilia gasping in offense. “Let me talk to him” Lilia doesn’t comment and passes the phone to Nicky a moment after.
“Hi momma, I miss you!” He says it in a sleepy voice
“Hey baby, I miss you too. I’ll pick you up first thing in the morning, okay?”
“Okay! I just wanted to say goodnight. So goodnight!”
“Good night, Nicky. Sweet dreams. I love you”
“Me too” He hangs up, not even giving Lilia the opportunity to say something.
Rio is now standing at the threshold
“Everything okay?”
Agatha turns around to answer “Yes! All good” She wears a thin smile now.
“I’ll help you clean up before I leave”
“You don’t have to” Agatha looks down to her phone and see Lilia’s message “enjoy your date more”
“I don’t have to what?”
“Help me clean up…” and she then looks up at Rio “nor leave…” When he gets closer to Rio, she holds her face and gives her a quick kiss. “there’s still more wine, you know?”
“There is…” Rio looks at her with infatuated eyes. “Can I choose another record to put on while we finish it?” Agatha only nods in agreement and Rio steals a peck on her lips.
Now they are in the living room again, sitting on the floor close to the records. Rio has one leg over Agatha’s leg, and Agatha's hand rests on that leg. Time has passed.
“Okay, tell me now, what was your first concert?” Rio asks curiously
“I believe it was Cher” Agatha takes a sip of her wine.
“What? Really?? Why Cher?” Rio was genuinely curious.
“Well, Li-” She pauses before saying Lilia’s name because she knows Lilia is known in Rio’s industry. Although she doesn’t know she’s the one paying Rio. “Listening to her music made me want to go see her live, so an old friend of mine got me tickets” She was surprised at herself because of how quick she thought of an answer.
“Oh, cool. Is this old friend still in the picture?” Agatha chuckled at how obvious Rio was being even when trying not to be
“She is… but don’t say it like that, she’s an actual friend, nothing more.”
“Oh no, I didn’t mean it like that, I was just… You don’t o-own me explanations, s-sorry” Rio looks everywhere but at Agatha.
Agatha holds Rio’s face again, with her free hand, just to make her look at her. Damn she’s beautiful. Agatha thinks. But this is a crush. A little date with a crush. She thinks again.
“Tell me about your first concert, Rio” Rio’s heart skips a beat having Agatha so close to her, her hand on her cheek burning.
“O-okay. But d-don’t laugh”
“I won’t, but you may need to see a speech doctor for real, you stumble in your words a lot”
“Beautiful women make me nervous” softly says it, looking at Agatha’s eyes and then her lips.
“women, huh?” Agatha raises her eyebrows in question, teasing Rio.
“Woman. A beautiful woman is making very nervous right now” She tries to look away from Agatha
“mm… so tell me”
“it was britney spears” she says it shyly
“What would I laugh at that?” Agatha is watching Rio very closely and attentively.
“Well it’s very pop, you have other tastes”
“Didn’t we agree that we dance to anything? I like pop!”
“Can I kiss you again?” Rio asks almost too quickly and looks so deep into those piercing blue eyes
“You don’t have to ask every time”
“I like hearing you say yes”
“in that case…” Agatha leaned closer to Rio’s earlobe “yes!” she whispers.
Rio never kissed anyone at such a fast pace.
The kiss was hot. Really hot. Agatha seemed to forget all of her worries when she was kissing Rio.
When they broke the kiss, Rio didn’t want to push Agatha any further. “I should go, it’s getting late” And then gives her another peck.
“Rio, I’m not letting you go home at-” she checks her phone “three am? oh my god”
“See? I can call an uber” She reaches for her phone, but it isn’t even near.
“No, really, it’s late. You can sleep here” Agatha insists.
“Do you have a spare bedroom? or a mattress I can throw here? I think it’s to be difficult sleeping on the couch with my knee in this situation”
“I-” she remembered she couldn’t show Rio to the spare bedroom. Actually, Nicky’s bedroom. The only solution was to… “you can sleep in my bed, I don’t mind sleeping on the couch”
“Never in a million years would I bother you like that, Agatha. I like bothering you in other ways” She smiles.
Agatha stands up, Rio looks at her all confused and in one move she takes Rio on her arms, bridal style again - talk about foreshadowing - and goes to her room
“Agatha, what the hell are you doing, put me down!” she tries to move “damn, you’re strong”
“Or are you just weak?” She jokes and laughs in a mischievous way.
“I’m not weak, I have a situation. I’ll make you pay once I’m better, you’ll see”
“oooh, I’m so scared” she then puts Rio on her bed gently and when she’s about to turn around Rio grabs her arm
“Lay down with me?”
“Rio…”
“Not to do anything, just at least until I fall asleep, I feel weird sleeping in your bed without you” She had the biggest puppy eyes Agatha has ever seen. Not even Nicky had such puppy eyes.
“Alright, little brat” She playfully slaps Rio’s hand away from her arm.
“Thanks” The smile she has on her face can be seen from miles away.
Agatha is drunk. For a second she forgets Rio is there and takes off her dress and puts on an oversized shirt.
Rio clears her throat to get Agatha’s attention “Not that I’m complaining about the sight I have right now, but could you lend me some comfy shorts?” Agatha is blushing.
“I didn’t-” She gave up explaining and just grabbed pajama shorts for Rio “here you go” handing it to her.
“Would you be so kind and help me put it on?” Agatha hesitates but gives in.
She slowly takes off Rio's jeans, avoiding any weight on her knees, and then slowly puts on the shorts. They lock eyes once again.
“Thank you” Her voice is now so sweet
“You’re welcome” giving her a sweet thin smile
Agatha makes her way into the other side of the bed, adjusts Rio’s pillow and leans down facing her. Again.
“Can I kiss you goodnight?” Rio only nods in agreement. “I wanna hear you say it”.
“Yes, Agatha” They kiss. It wasn’t brief. It was actually a very long kiss. “This is the weirdest way to end a first date” she says while giving Agatha quick pecks, finishing the kiss.
“What do you mean?” She looks at her confused
“It’s our first date, I’m laying in bed with you as if we’ve known each other for years”
“Guess it’s a little strange” they laugh together. “Go to sleep now, Rio”
Agatha lays on her side, facing Rio. I’m just waiting for her to fall asleep and then I’ll go to Nicky’s room. She thinks to herself. But it didn’t go according to plan. She fell asleep too.
At some point she found Rio’s waist and pulled Rio closer, buried her face on her neck, and they just unconsciously - in a way, very consciously - cuddled.
