Skin Deep Part ten (conclusion)

"Have you eaten?" I asked, she shook her head. "Well then lets go find something to eat." I grabbed her hand and started leading her toward the kitchen.

"But I'm not really hungry," she said, a bit of a whine in her voice.

"But baby, you need to eat." Just then the muffled sound of the care bears on fire song "everybody else" started coming from Izzy's bag

"That's my phone," she said while digging it out of her bag. She looked at it and her expression turned frightened. "Its my mom," she said, then looked up at me. "Should I answer it?"

"Yeah, go ahead babe, I'm here for you no matter what happens."

She answered, "hi mom." Listening to only one side of a conversation is weird. Lucky for me I know Izzy well enough that it was easy to figure out how it was going based on what she said. "Yeah mom I know." She said sighing, I noticed tears forming in her eyes. "Yes mom, I believe you, I love you too." The tears started rolling down her cheeks, "I think I'm gonna stay here mom." She paused, listening, "yes I'm at Alicia's and of course I'm coming home, just not tonight." Her words came out as sobs, but she was smiling. Good sign. "I love you too mom, bye."

She tossed her phone onto the kitchen counter, then threw her arms around me and squeezed tight. When she stepped away I saw a look of hope in her eyes. "Evidently her friend told her she was being stupid and that she should call me." She managed a slightly week, but hopeful smile. "Yeah I guess She freaked after I left and called her closest friend, Julie. Lucky for me Julie is super open minded and really close to my mom. She talked some sense into her."

"Good I'm glad that things are looking up at least a little." I said, smiling. "How are you feeling about everything now?" I asked, suddenly becoming slightly worried.

"Good, I feel good." She smiled at me before continuing. "I don't know what I would do without you"

"So..... what do you want to do now?" I asked.

She hugged me again and kissed me. "Thank you, for being here for me," she said then she kissed me again. "I did have something planed for tonight, but that will have to wait. Food is starting to sound great."

We were already in the kitchen, which is a good place to find food. Well that is unless your me, there was nothing but beer, crackers, dry pasta and some moldy cheese in the fridge and cupboards. So we decided to pool our money together and order a pizza. We sat and watched TV while we ate. After we brushed our teeth and went to my room. She put on a mixed CD she had brought over, of her favorite grrl bands and we sat on my bed. Suddenly I felt this crazy tension fill the room.

Before I could ask what she had planned she started kissing me. Her kisses were deep and frantic, she moaned into my mouth as my kisses matched her urgency. She slid her hands under the edge of my shirt, her thumbs on the outside and began pushing the fabric up my body.

I pulled back slightly. "I took off my bra." I said between kisses.

"I know," she said as she pushed my shirt up over my breasts. She just looked at me "Up," she said. Wow, I lifted my arms and she pulled my shirt over my head. Next she sat back and pulled her shirt over her head, smiling at me as she did it. I pulled her to me, as I kissed her I reached around and undid her bra. She leaned back so I could slip it off. I pushed her down on the bed and climbed on top of her. I just pressed my body against hers for a while, loving the feel of her skin against mine. I buried my face in the crook of her neck and breathed in the scent of her. She ran her nails lightly up the length of my back, causing me to sigh. I bit at the soft flesh of her neck soft at first then harder, just enough to make her squirm underneath me. We teased each other like this for a while until her hands found my breasts. I cried out at the feel of her touch, then lowered my head and kissed down her neck to her chest. As I explored her breasts with my mouth, I moved my hand down to undo her jeans. Soon they had been thrown haphazardly to the floor along with my jeans and our underwear. I pushed myself up enough to look at her and I noticed a look on fer face that I didn't understand.

"Are you okay?" I asked after catching my breath.

"I'm wonderful, its just, I've never done this before."

I smiled. "I know, neither have I."

"No I mean I haven't, ever, with anyone."

Wow. "Are you sure you wan-"

She rose up and cut me off with a kiss. "Yes," she said as she pulled me back down on top of her.

We lost ourselves then to our senses. The musky sweet smells and tastes, the soft, textured and slick feel of our bodies. We heard nothing but the frantic sound of our breathing and the release in our moans. We explored each others bodies with lips, tongues, teeth, fingers and hands. We kept on for hours, finding new ways to bring each other every time, over and over until we were to tired to continue.

"I love you," Izzy whispered just before falling to sleep.

"I love you too." I said and as I drifted off to sleep. I smiled and thought about nothing but how damn lucky I was.

Skin Deep Part Nine

The rest of the week just flew by and before I knew it it was Friday. I was sitting in my last class trying not to watch the clock. I had to admit (if only to myself) that I was excited about tonight. It wasn't because I was dying to celebrate our one month, I was just excited to be spending the night together. I soon stopped paying any attention to anything other than my thoughts. I'm not excited just to be spending the night, we have done that before. I am hoping at least a little that we might breach the only shirts can come off rule. Not that it really matters if we don't, but it would be nice if we do. Then before I got too lost in my brain, the bell rang. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I barley noticed that I was walking. Then I found myself out in front of the school waiting for Izzy. I didn't have to wait long, just after I got outside I felt her arms slide around me from behind.

"Hey, that's my move," I say while turning to face her then leaning in for a kiss.

As we pulled away from each other she laughed a little then said, "Why cause your so butch?" She laughed before saying, "Come one lets go." I grabbed her hand and we headed off towards her house. When we arrived we were happy to find the place empty. "Wow, I didn't think we would be this lucky, moms usually here when I get home." She turned to me, a smile on her face and I grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss. I started pulling her toward her room but she stopped me. "I hate to do this, but I'm starving. Lets get a snack first." She said, then noticing the mock disappointment on my face she added, "You can wait 10 minuets can't you?" I smiled then nodded yes, she gave me a quick kiss before turning to head to the kitchen. She stopped in front of the counter then turned around. "Besides," she said while pulling me close as she leaned against the counter. "We do have all night." I couldn't help my self so I kissed her again this time pressing my body against hers. I kissed her like that until both our bodies were telling us to do more. Then I pulled away, she tried to pull me back to her.

I shook my head. "Snack time remember?" I said with a smile.

"Your evil." She said resuming her search for food.

"Hey you started it."

"So you got me." She said with a smile while grabbing some crackers out of a cupboard then heading to the fridge. "You want a pop?" I nodded so she pulled out two cokes and we were off.

After we got to her room and sat on her bed, the snacking didn't last too long. I was considerate though, I did let her eat a handful of crackers before I pounced. I pulled the box out of her hand and set it aside. I raised up to my knees and pulled her to me. We started kissing, slow at first then she pressed her body into mine while squeezing me like she was trying to make us become one body. Our kissing became faster then, more urgent. I was so focused on her that I dismissed the sound I thought I heard coming from the living room as being something from outside or just my imagination. Then Izzy laid down and pulled me on top of her, I grabbed a hold of her shirt. I was just about to pull her shirt off when I heard the door knob turn. We jumped apart just as Izzy's mom pushed the door open.

"Izzy?" She questioned. We just sat there looking at her stupidly. I mean really what could we do?

Izzy tried to answer her mother feebly. "Mom... I, uh... We, uh... We were just..."

Her mother heaved a big sight then turned to me. "Alicia, I think you'd better go now. I need to speak with mu daughter."

Izzy gave me a look that was begging me to stay. Though we both knew I had to go. I leaned closer to her and said in a quiet voice. "It'll be okay, call me." I gave her a look and a squeeze of her hand to reassure her before getting up and heading out the door.

On my way home I tried not to stress too much about what had just happened. I also tried not to think about what might be going on at EIzzy's place. So I spent most of the way home trying not to think at all, and failing miserably. When I got home and opened the door I was greeted by my mom.

"Hey hun," she said, a confused look on her face. "I thought you where staying at Izzy's tonight."

"I was, but her mom asked me to leave." Ok, that was dumb.

"Oh god Alicia, what did you do now?" She said while motioning for me to sit with her.

I walked over and sank into the couch. "Nothing mom, didn't do anything wrong."

Her look sftened, "OK, then why did Izzy's mother ask you to leave?"

I couldn't think of a lie that might work, and sense I started out with honesty I decided to tell the truth. I geuss both Izzy and me were coming out today. "Because, she came home and caught us kissing and freaked." OK so I censored the truth a little.

"I thought so."

"Huh?"

She shook her head. "No I mean I thought that you two were" she paused before continuing, "involved."

"Oh, and your okay with it?"

"You are my daughter, I love you and I'm not a bigot. It will probably take some time for me to be totally okay with it, but that's my own issues. What I think or feel shouldn't stop you from being you." She paused and I watched a thought slide across her face. "Is she good to you?"

This is weird, but kind of cool. "Yes mom, she's awesome."

"Good, really I'm just worried about you."

We talked a for a while, it became apparent that mom had known or at least suspected for almost as long as we had been together. Which explained how cool she was. She had plenty of time to practice. Then soon I realized that I'd been home for about an hour. I was so taken by my mom's reaction to Izzy and me that I forgot to worry about her. Just after realizing this, my phone rang. It was Izzy sounding frantic.

"I'm coming over."

"OK, god Izzy are you okay?"

"I will be if I can stay with you tonight."

"Hold on," I said while holding the phone against my chest to muffle my mom and my voices. "Mom, its Izzy. Can she spend the night?" She shot me a look that said clearly "are you really asking me this?" "Come on mom, she's on her way over now and she's all freaked. We can discuss boundaries later."

She looked at me with that look that most mothers seem to have before giving in. "OK, but I'm going out tonight, I don't want to come home to any surprises."

I held in the laugh that was threatening to surface. "Thanks mom." Then I put the phone back up to my ear. "Yeah."

"Good," she said. Then there was a knock at the door and she had hung up.

I opened the door to see Izzy's tear streaked face. I grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. She stepped in closer to me, threw her arms around me and buried her face between my neck and shoulder and cried. We just stood there like that for a while until Izzy's crying slowed. She took a deep breath, raised her head and took a small step back. I wiped away the tears that still clung to her face then left my hand cupping her face.

"What happened? Are you two okay?" I asked, concerned. She just looked at me for a moment. Then she opened her mouth as if to speak and closed it again. "Come on," I say while taking her hand and leading her over to the couch. I noticed that my mom wasn't in the room any more and wondered when she had gone. We sat down and faced each other, then I just waited for her to speak.

"She cried." Izzy said while looking down at her hands. "At first I thought she was mad, I think maybe she was a little. Then she asked me what was going on again and I told her you are my girlfriend. She just started to cry." She took a deep breath, trying to hold back more tears, then she continued. "She went on for a while about how hard my life will be and why would I want that. I told her about school, how everyone knows and everything is okay. I also told her that I am happy, really happy and that I don't want her and my relationship to get all messed up again. She agreed with me about our relationship, but said that she doesn't know if she can accept you and me as a couple. She said she knew better than to try and interfere with us."

I waited a moment to make sure that she was done before saying anything. "Well, it could be worse, ya know." I pulled her close to me and she froze. "What?"

"Is your mom here?"

I smiled. "Yeah she's here somewhere but its okay, she knows." Izzy suddenly looked frightened. "Really, its okay. She's known for a while now, I guess we weren't slick enough to fool her. We talked when I got home, she knew when she said you could spend the night so really its cool."

She let herself relax against me. "Well at least one of our moms is cool. What am I gonna do?"

"I don't think you have to do anything. I bet after she has some time to deal with her issues, she will come around. It sounds to me like she is more worried than anything."

"Yeah I guess your right."

"Of course I am. But really we are together, shouldn't we be having fun? I seem to remember a celebration was planed."

A smile started to show its self on her face. "I love you," she said.

"Good." I returned her smile, "I love you," I said as I wiped away the last of her tears.

Just then my mom came into the room all dressed for a date. "OK girls I'm off, don't wait up." She said as she opened the door. Then she turned around before leaving and said "No surprises right Alicia?"

"Right." Then she shut the door.

"No surprises, what was that about?"

"It means that if we are going to make our or anything, we should go to my room and lock the door." We laughed.
