Chapter 2
Mika woke up to her phone buzzing loudly. she groaned as she reached for her phone and pressed the alarm off. Her head pounded and her mouth was dry, she had waaaay too much to drink. She shifted her body to look at the woman sleeping soundly next to her. Her blonde hair fanned across the pillow and her cheeks were perfectly blushed, like some work of fiction. Mika laid there looking at her and smiling softly. She then quietly slid out of her bed, trying not to disturb the other woman who looked so peaceful.
“morning” Taryn said in a soft voice as her eyes followed Mika, who was not wearing any clothes.
“hi” she said become conscious of her current state. She scrambled for any clothes next to her bed in the poorly lit room. She put on a large band t-shirt she wore to sleep most nights then continued her searched.
“looking for these?” Helm said holding Mika’s black underwear. She puts one hand over her face and laughs and uses the other hand to grab them. She turns away from her, quickly slipping them on.
“Nothing i haven’t seen” Taryn says teasing her. She did not expect this confident person to be so shy all the sudden. “Hey, you alright?” she asks tentatively.
“Alright? are you kidding? i’m amazing.” she says sitting down on the edge of the bed next to her. “I am just not a morning person. plus i got maybe 2 hours of sleep. and im very hung over.”
“sorry” Taryn says sucking in air through her teeth
“I wouldn’t change a thing though” they both smiled into a kiss
Mika broke the kiss suddenly “crap. i have to get ready for work.” Helm watches as she scrambles to find clothes and get ready. “breakfast.”
“hm?” Helm asks
“breakfast. i need to feed you.”
Mika ran out of the room before Taryn could even react. She got out of bed and put on the clothes she had worn the night before and went to the kitchen. She watched as Mika grabbed a mug and poured some coffee into it, sliding it to the other woman and then looked through all the cabinets in a futile effort to find food.
“i don’t have food” she said stopping and staring at Taryn
“don’t worry about it”
“but i am worrying about it. i have you over and want to make everything perfect because well you are perfect and now i cant even give you any breakfast.” she begins her search again. she peaks her head up from the kitchen island “ramen?”
“i’m ok, really” Helm laughs again. Mika walks over to her and puts her arms around her neck and frowns “ok fine” the blonde starts, “how about this. we go to breakfast tomorrow or whenever the next time youre off work”
the brunette smiles and kisses her “i promise next time i’ll be more prepared”
they both smile at the intention of the words ‘next time’
Lucas walked in the kitchen and grabbed the coffee pot, knocking the women out of their daze. Lucas looked even worse than Mika.
“you alright skywalker?” she asked, seeing his slightly swollen under eyes and messy hair that is usually perfect. he groaned in response and chugged his coffee before pouring more. “valid.” she said nodding before turning her attention back to the woman who’s hands were around her hips. Mika pushed a peice of the blonde’s hair behind her ear. They didn’t know each other that well but they both could feel there was something great that would become of them. Mika kissed Helm once more with great passion.
“no PDA in the kitchen” Lucas said between sips of coffee. this was a rule they had made when they moved in, but it was poorly enforced.
“oh cmon Luke, as if you and Griffin didn’t do anything in here”
Lucas gasped and set his coffee down, quickly making his way over to mika and shushing her
“what are you talking about” he said in a hushed voice, looking over at the entrance to the kitchen to make sure whatever his name is wasn’t near and heard them
“oh come on, the tension and chemistry between you is undeniable let’s be serious for a second” Mika said rolling her eyes
Lucas just looked at her for a second in disbelief, unsure what to say. “we’re gonna be late cmon” he said turning away from her and grabbing his keys out of the plastic bowl in the middle of the island.
“can i at least put some pants on?” Mika asked
“oh.. yes that would probably be good” Lucas said
“and you should splash some cold water on your face, you look like hell”
”thanks.” he said sarcastically and made his way to the bathroom
It was just the two women in the kitchen again
“Im gonna call an uber” Taryn said “But i had a really nice time thank you”
”so did i” Mika said back “i’m gonna go put pants on now”
“ok” she said and they kissed once more. Mika started walking to her room and Helm watched as she left
”i know you’re looking at my ass but i’m flattered so don’t stop” Mika said not even looking back, knowingly making Helm blush.
