Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2003 01:23:28 -0500 From: Stephanie Thornhill Subject: To Hell and Back, Chapter 2 Running to the library, Bethany could barely think clearly. Her girlfriend was here! Finally, after months of waiting and talking on the phone and on the computer, she was finally here! Ducking into the small bathroom just outside the main doors of the school's library, Beth quickly brushed her hair out again, checked her make-up, clothes, everything she could think of. The girl she knew only from pictures was waiting for her just a few hundred feet away. This was the girl she was planning on spending her life with. Bethany walked through the doors and took in a deep breath. Sitting at one of the large oak tables at the library was the shorter, blonde girl. She was wearing clothes that didn't quite fit this part of the country, but at the same time, they somehow did. Her long hair was flowing down her back in long strands. She was thumbing her way through a magazine. Oblivious to everything around her. "She's probably been waiting for so long that she doesn't even realize what time it is," thought Bethany. The smaller girl jumped a bit when Bethany crept up behind the girl and laid a hand on her shoulder. "Hi. I'm Bethany," she said, while noticing that all other words had totally left her mind. "Hi. I'm Michelle. It's so great to finally meet you!" They embraced in a nervous but warm hug, which seemed to settle them both down a lot. Seeing the bags stacked beside the table, Bethany said, "Why don't I show you up to my room. You're in luck. Most of the people have cleared out already, but since I'm taking some summer classes, I've gotten permission to stay... and I was lucky enough to be able to have the room to myself so far." "That's great. It'll be easier to settle in then," Michelle said with a glint in her eyes. ***** After unpacking Michelle's bags, the two girls sat back on the small twin bed that they would secretly share for the next couple of months. "Are you sure it's okay that I stay here? I mean... what if I get caught?" "Baby, I'm sure. No one ever really comes up here for room checks. I mean, the RA had guys into her room all the time. Besides, it's not like it's gonna hurt anybody." "True... but it still makes me kinda nervous." "Well," Bethany said laughing, "would you rather not stay with me?" "I didn't say that now!" Leaning closer, they shared their first kiss. Softly, their lips pressed together. The warmth from Michelle made Bethany tingle all over. She felt Michelle's lips part a tiny bit and then felt the flicker of the smaller girl's tongue on her. Opening her lips wider to welcome in Michelle's tongue, she slowly slid her arm around the other girl. Her body felt like it was on fire. With her mind spinning, she felt her body being pressed back by gentle arms. On top of her, she could feel another body. The magic of all that was happening seemed to envelop her more completely than the heat of the hottest weather ever could. With unsteady hands, she reached for the bottom of Michelle's shirt and began to pull it up and off of her. Beth could feel herself getting wetter as the seconds passed by. Moaning softly, she reached down and began to slide Michelle's loose pants off. Just as the pants passed the smaller girl's hips, there was a knock at the door. Groaning and rolling her eyes, Bethany whispered, "I'd better get that." "Okay hun," Michelle answered as she slid off of her girlfriend. After waiting for Michelle to slip on her shirt, Bethany opened her door. "Mom! Hi... umm... what're you doing here?" "Well, we figured since you were going to be staying up here in school all summer, and wouldn't be home for a long while, we'd come up and visit you. Oh, and don't worry about where we're going to stay, either." Bethany cut in all, "Who is we?" "We as in your sister and I. Anyway, we talked with the Dean of Student Affairs and asked him to keep it as a surprise, but he's given us special permission to stay with you for a week! Isn't that great!!" "Stay here? Like on campus?" "Yes, of course! We can stay here in your room. Since everyone here had three or four roommates during the regular year, he assured us that there would be plenty of room." "Oh... oh... well... yes... there is plenty of room. Where's Jasmine at anyway?" "She ran back down to the car. She wanted to go ahead and bring her things up." Looking over, and finally noticing Michelle sitting on the bed. "Oh hello. I'm sorry to keep Bethany busy," her mother said. "I'm Bethany's mother. Mrs. Everett, but you can just call me Francine." "Pleased to meet you Francine," Michelle answered as she shook hands with Bethany's mother. "I'm--" "She's my new roommate for the summer, Mom," Bethany cut in. Casting a glance at Beth, Michelle stammered for a moment, "Y-yes. I'm Michelle. Her new roommate for the summer." "I'm going to run down to the car and see what's keeping your sister. I'll be back in just a moment." "Okay... I'll be here Mom." As soon as Bethany's mother left the room, Michelle turned to her. "She doesn't know you're a lesbian, does she?" Looking embarrassed, Bethany answered, "No. She's suspected before, but I've never told her... and whenever she asked, I've denied it." "Why? If she asked you before and she didn't seem upset, then what makes you think she would take it so bad?" "Because I don't think she would take it well. She's always had such specific dreams for me. When I was younger, she always used to talk about how nice it would be to have grandkids. And when I started to where I'd clean and do chores around the house on my own, without being asked, she's comment sometimes about what a good wife or mother I'd make. I just don't think I can tell her... at least not yet. I will someday... but just not yet." "So we're going to be kinda... uncomfortable for a week?" "Well," she answered laughing, "they like to shop... and they don't know when my classes are... so I can just make some up occasionally. We'll find ways." Leaning in for another kiss, all Michelle could say was, "Wonderful." Both of them looked at each other after breaking the kiss and whispered I love you's to each other. ***** Well, there's chapter 2. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I know it's starting out kinda slow, but there's a reason. It'll get better, I promise. PROMISE!! Oh, the person I'm dating at the moment is the inspiration for this story. I LOVE YOU BABY!!
