ROLEPLAY HQ - new-beginnings

It was Alexandra's day off, and she was spending it on the couch in her apartment, binging Netflix. Alex worked as a civilian in the motor pool at the nearby base, and she'd just spent the better part of a week covered in engine grease, helping to replace the motor of an aging humvee. She unconciously picked at her nails as she watched the show, trying to remove the last bits of black that stained her fingers. The show ended, and Alex got up to grab a drink. She had the AC on, but it was particularly warm that day and the fan was struggling to keep the heat down. She dressed for the heat, wearing a black tank and her favorite shorts. Alex opened the freezer, grabbing an empty mug covered with frost. She got a beer from the fridge, pouring it and enjoying the feeling of the cold glass on her lips as she took her first sip. Munching on pretzels, Alex glanced out the window, which looked down onto the road below. A box truck was parked in front, and movers were going in and out of the house across the street. She watched them struggle with a large mattress for a while, when her attention moved to the front door. A woman with a baggy shirt and pink shorts came out, talking to the foreman and directing them as to where to put everything. After a while, the movers finished up and Alex's new neighbor retreated back into her new home. Alex finished up her beer and pet her tabby cat, who had crawled up to her and was nuzzling her leg for attention. "You be good, Oreo. I'll give you cuddles when I get back, but right now it's time to welcome the new neighbor." Alex grabbed the rest of her 6-pack of beers and walked across the street, ringing the doorbell.

Gwen was up for the task at hand. As soon as the movers left with the van she straight away started with moving big boxes or atleast started trying to move boxes. She walked up to the biggest box and scratched on the top of it to open the slit which was tapes very naively to say the least. Quickly opening it she started unboxing things one after the the other. Few boxes were her usual korchen stuff like Pan, set of knives, plates which were very dear to her for no reason and more such things. After unboxing everything she decided to start with placing all the boxes which were not needed into the store room. Gwen just stared at the biggest box and took a deep breath. "Jack you better make it up for this when you return" She murmurs as she pulls her loose fit shorts a little on the upper side. Anyone could have said she was struggling, she barely managed to grip the box properly given how small her body actually was to support the weight of all of the box on herself and over that her arm span was also not enough to cover the width of the box. "Um-uh, I'm gonna die by coming under o-one of the boxes in sometime" She yells to herself as she tried to move towards the store room, but instead she was moving towards the front door about which she had no idea. It was barely 2 mins into lifting the box someone rang the doorbell. "Oh okay, so this wasn't bad enough?" She agains mumbles. "Door is already open" She yells as loud as she could still thinking she is moving towards the store room.

A woman's voice shouted that the door was open. It sounded like the voice was directly behind the entrance. Alex backed away a step, surprised by the response. Slowly, she turned the handle and pulled the door open. Directly in front of her was a giant moving box. For a moment, it looked as if the box was floating in midair in front of her, until Alex spotted the hands struggling to wrap around the box, the legs poking out below and a tuft of bright red hair sticking out. She quickly placed her beers down and grabbed the ends of the box closest to her. "Heya! Looks like you could use a hand. My name's Alex, I'm your neighbor across the street. Just wanted to give you a warm welcome to the neighborhood and see if you could use some help moving in. Brought some beer too, just in case." Alex noticed the relative silence of the home. "Is it just you here? Big house just for one." (edited)

"Oh-oh, Why am I towards the door and not the store room. But Hey Alex, really sweet of you to come by. In case you are thinking where is the woman speaking from.." Gwen pauses momentarily and grunts as she adjusts her grip on the box. "I'm right behind the box" While she was speaking she felt that box kind of felt less heavier eventually and she felt a touch at her hand on the right side of the box. "Oh, thanks for the helping hand Alex and yes it is just me, in this big house. My husband is in army serving his tour and he is normally out serving leaving me alone to do all his work like this. Umm....we need to go the opposite way towards the store room" She said and stuck out a leg carefully to point out to the direction she was talking about. "You see my foot? That's the way to go. Let's move together so that no one gets hurt" She giggles a bit and starts moving backwards slowly.

Alex walked in step with the mystery legs that had pointed in the direction of the store room. Carrying the box was an easy task when there were two people at it. They carried it over and set it down, the two women now able to see each other face to face. Alex smiled, noting the woman's fiery red hair and the contrast it offered to her own ombre blue tones. "Nice to finally meet the face behind the box. Sorry, I don't think I caught your name! Lemme help you with the rest of your stuff and we can share the rest of these beers. If that's your thing."

"Hey, thank you so much for helping out. I'm Gwen" she extends her right hand out wide for Alex to shake on it. "Are you kidding, beer is totally my thing. Let's get done with these boxes and we can find a place to sit in this huge house and get to know more" She says smiling like an idiot and walks to another box which was not that big in size and can be picked by one person easily. "You can pick anyone from there which is a one person job" she points to the boxes there in one of the corners of the room. "So do you live like in the very next apartment or across somewhere?" Gwen enquires as she places another box on the top of the big one in the store room.

Alex took Gwen's hand, grasping it and noting how soft it was compared to hers, roughened up from work at the auto pool. "It's nice to meet you! Yeah, I'm right across the street, second floor. It's just me and Oreo, that's my cat." Alex stacked some smaller boxes on top of each other and carried them over into the store room. "An army wife, eh? Maybe I've seen your husband around the base before. I work as a civilian in the auto pool. How about you, what kinda work do you do? Ya know, other than carrying boxes." Alex flashed a smile at Gwen as she stooped to pickup more items to carry over. The sun shone in through the windows, acting as a spotlight on the hardwood floors and creating shadows where the walls blocked the light. Motes of dust floated in the sun rays, stirred up by the movement taking place in the house as the girls shuffled back and forth through the rooms.

"Well, me. I usually work from home at a digital ad agency as a designer. They mail me the requirements and I create designs as they want. I see why you were comfortable in holding that box, you are tough" Gwen smiled looking at Alex as she placed the final few boxes in the store room which made the living room look like an actual living room. As soon as she dropped the last box Gwen collapsed on the sofa chair nearby and let out a sigh. "Uhhhh, I haven't done this much of picking my entire life,trust me" Gwen says in a tired voice. "Oh you also said you have a cat? I love cats. Do you mind bringing Oreo here or maybe if I visit your place to play? I am anyways working from home and all alone so not a lot to do" She asks Alex as she removes the handkerchief hat she mad on her head to stop the sweating. "I see you are dressed for this heat perfectly, god knows why I'm wearing this baggy shirt in this heat" She complaints pulling her shirt a little away from her chest for a while.

Gwen and Alex finished putting the boxes away and took seats in the living room. Alex opened a pair of beers and handed one to Gwen, foam collecting around the neck of the bottle. She took a sip, enjoying the bitter flavor on her tongue and the contrast of the cool liquid with the hot summer day. "Yeah, every time you move you collect a bit more stuff to bring with you to the next place. You gotta simplify and KonMari that stuff before it builds up even more! Hold onto the things that bring you joy." Alex took another sip of the beer, holding the cold bottle against her neck to cool down. "And yes, Oreo! She's a 6 year old tabby and she's awesome. She'd love having you over - she always gets mad when I have to leave for work. You should come by tomorrow and keep her company while I'm on the job." Alex caught herself picking at her fingernails again and stopped herself, a realization dawning on her. "You know, I just realized I kinda invited myself over, didn't I?" She gave a nervous laugh. "I know move in day can be a lot, I can just leave ya with those beers to enjoy if you need to decompress this evening." Alex wanted to stay and get to know her new friend better, but she also didn't want to impose on her.

"Are you kidding me? You gotta stay. This house is huge, It would be good to have someone to talk to honestly and hey, thanks for the beer" She said a took a sip of it momentarily closing her eyes while doing so due to the chill bitter taste. "So, umm yeah I can look after oreo while you are at work. I'm a great cook too. Will cook you something delicious to look forward to when you are back home from work" She says as she slides th curtains behind her to limit the amount of sunlight entering. "Geez, it's hot" She complaints sipping on to the beer a little more. "I love what you've done with your hair, I also keep trying new stuff and currently I'm a red head. Had a fantasy to try being blonde for some time now" She giggles as she leans down to reach towards Alex to gently feel her soft hair with her hands.

Alex smiled at Gwen when she invited her to stay, her lips parting just a bit to show a hint of her teeth. "Awesome! I was kinda hoping you'd say that." Gwen mentioned her cooking skills and the smile grew. "Oh my god, how did you fall into my lap. Someone to watch after Oreo AND cook dinner? Too good to be true. My dinner usually consists of takeout or mac and cheese." Alex let out a little giggle at the thought. Gwen complimented Alex's hair, and reached over to feel it between her fingers. Alex blushed slightly, and then she realized she was blushing and her cheeks got even redder. She looked down shyly - she was rarely shy with the guys at the auto pool, who constantly flirted with her, but something about Gwen made her really bashful. Alex changed the subject, hoping Gwen hadn't caught her red-faced. "So, you must have a lot of time on your hands, living by yourself - what do you usually do when you're not working? TV? Video games?" Alex finished her beer and cracked open another, hoping the alcohol would calm her nerves a bit.

"Umm, nope. I like to stay away from those gadgets during my time off. Like reading books a lot in my free time. In fact one of the boxes we put in there was full of new and old books" She said playing with a stray hair strand with her finger rolling it up and down almost involuntarily. "And you don't need to do mac and cheese anymore. I got you covered trust me, I love cooking for people and I love to see that first bite reaction" She smiles as she thinks about it in her mind picturing herself cooking some delicacies for Alex. She takes a big sip of her beer and shoves the can aside to reach out to grab another one popping it open followed by a foam jizz. "You for sure sound a fun person to hangout with and I honestly thought I'd be sitting all alone in this huge house, but here you are to the rescue" She says with some giggles as she sips on her beer.

"Oooh, ok. No screens, got it. I hear ya, after I've been covered in engine grease all week the last thing I wanna do is work on my car. I've got the jeep parked down on the curb - maybe we can go offroading and find a good trail one weekend." Alex definitely hoped Gwen would bite - she loved being out in nature and knew some amazing stargazing spots in the area to take her. "What kind of books do you like to read? OOH, rather than telling me, maybe you can show me? I know you're probably exhausted from moving all those boxes in, but if you're down I'd love to help you unpack a couple. What better way to get to know you than seeing what you decided to drag with you from place to place." Alex blushed again - was she being too forward? Quickly, she tried to correct herself. "I mean, if that's ok with you. It's no problem if its too personal." Alex was about halfway through her second beer, and the alcohol was obviously beginning to do its job lowering her inhibitions. She stood up from the couch and extended a hand to Gwen. "Come on, it'll be fun." Alex tilted her head playfully and smiled at Alex. "I'll let you choose which boxes to open first."

"Ohh a Jeep. Sounds fun and I'd love to go out and explore more about this place. I'll probably struggle to hike unlike you but you can carry me in case I faint so yeah, let us plan this weekend. Sounds like we are going on an all girls date. I'm already excited or maybe it is the alcohol talking" She takes another big sip out of it. "Yeah, sure why not. There are no handcuffs in there and there also isn't a pack of velvet blindfolds in one of those boxes. Let's open them up" Gwen smiles playfully and took Alex's help to be on her feet. "Also, do you think we should go easy on beer. This shit is strong and cold" She laughs looking at the tin can as she walks up to the boxes and points to one medium sized box in the corner. "Let's open this one first? What do you say? Your call which one to open. Who knows my husband might have some playboy magazines hidden up and we find them today" She laughs hard this time. Her husband is usually on tours and it isn't that their relationship is having any sort of problems but she needed someone to just be there and talk something normal. Clearly, Gwen was enjoying her time with Alex at the moment.

Alex blushed. She had been gulping down the beers pretty heavily in an attempt to hold her nerves at bay. "Hah, yeah you're right. I'm just used to having to keep up with the guys in the auto pool. She put the beer down on the coffee table and led herself and Gwen back over to the store room. Gwen pointed at a box to open, suggesting perhaps there were some dirty magazines hidden inside. Alex laughed along with her. "Hey, not like I'd mind. Let's see what we've got." She opened the box, which contained things that belonged on the walls or on shelves. Paintings and artwork, string lights, vases. Alex started handing things to Gwen to put in their proper homes, while they chatted about the neighborhood and their interests. At the bottom of the box were a number of photo frames. Some were of Gwen, one in hiking gear, another when she was a kid. "OMG you were the cutest kid. Look at those braids!" She handed the picture over and took out another frame. This one was more recent, of Gwen and a man in uniform. He was handsome, but like most photos of men in uniform his expression looked emotionless. "I'm guessing this is your husband? How long is he deployed right now?"

Gwen started handing stuff coming out of the boxes to Alex to place at their correct places and while doing so they came across a picture of little Gwen in braids to which she closed her eyes and passed om straight away. "Don't, don't do that. I hated those braids. My mom used to do that to me, I was a little kid trying to be nice and put up to her deeds" She giggled as she picked up another frame from the bottom and just wiped the dirt off with her hands. "He is Jack, my man" She replies to Alex's question with a wide smile on her face. "He will be gone for a year atleast, stationed in Afghanistan currently. I hope he is safe. They don't allow a lot of calls but he sure does call me through those big ugly looking phones every now and then" Gwen said as she hands over the photo frame to Alex clearly missing Jack now that he came up in the conversation and took a hard sip from the can. "We had a little talk about leaving Army, but he wants to serve more for the country" She stood up and went on to open another box

Alex listened to Gwen talk about her husband and his service in the army. "Well, it does have its benefits - once he's done doing tours you'll probably be set for life. Not to mention, those army guys tend to be pretty fine!" Alex wiggled her eyebrows at Gwen, giggling. "Don't worry, I'll keep ya company till he gets back." They finished unpacking the box and Gwen went to open up another. This one was filled with pillows and candleholders, items for the living room. Box by box, Gwen and Alex unpacked until all the boxes labeled Living Room were opened up - when they'd begun, the hot sun was overhead, but by the time they'd finished it was setting and the temperature had begun to cool down. When Alex had walked in, the living room consisted of nothing but the furniture - a couch, some chairs and the coffee table. By the time they were done, it was starting to look like a home. Photos and paintings were on the walls, decorations were on the table and pillows and throws adorned the couch. They finished collapsing the boxes and stood together at the entrance to the living room, admiring their handiwork. "Wow, we got a lot done! I worked up an appetite getting that stuff unpacked. So, Chef Gwen, what's for dinner?" Alex smirked at her new friend, excited to see what she had in mind. To be honest, it could be Kraft Mac & Cheese and Alex wouldn't have minded, she was just enjoying the excitement of meeting someone new her age.

"Wow, can't believe we just finished all that up in no time. What would've happened if you hadn't showed up at my door today Alex" She say admiring the living room from the edge of the room as she leaned in and kissed Alex on her cheeks. "You deserve something better than that Mac and cheese today for sure, But I don't have grocery at my place. Do you mind if we go cook at your place? Tell me what do you have and we'll see what can we cook quickly to fill up both our tummies" She suggests as she rolls her long sleeves up showing her small and thin hands. "Oh and wait I have something about which I totally forgot" She abruptly cut short her sentance and ran towards the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and picked up the only thing that was present in it a big old bottle of red wine which was not that chilled but would do the work just fine. She came in running towards the living room where Alex stood fairly confused to what this lady was upto. "Ohh my bad, umm I went to the kitchen to grab this, I thought this is too big for one person to empty it all up and you have a crazy apetitite for alcohol too" She said giggling as she handed over the bottle to Alex.

Gwen thanked Alex for the help and kissed her on the cheek, making her blush deeply and smile. The kind of smile that was hard to come by. Gwen mentioned that she didnt have any food at her place, which made sense considering that her kitchen wasn't even unpacked yet. "Yes absolutely, let's head over! You can meet Oreo. I'm not sure what I've got to cook with, but let's go over and find out. Alex headed to the front door, and Gwen soon joined her, carrying a big bottle of red wine. Ooh, this girl is gonna be the end of me, thought Alex to herself, before replying as cooly as possible. "Haha, absolutely - hopefully I've got something in the house that goes good with it." The two headed over to Alex's place, climbing the stairs of the apartment building to the second floor. Alex swung the door open to reveal her place. To the left was a giant black leather couch and big screen TV, with a white coffee table. Doors at the back led to the bathroom and bedroom. Oreo was walking out from the bedroom at that moment, coming up to Gwen and rubbing against her leg, tail up in the air as a greeting to the new stranger in her domain. To the right was a utilitarian kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, bamboo cabinets and polished concrete floors. Alex pulled open the refrigerator doors, peering inside. "Lets see, I've got some chicken wings, some ground beef, uhmmmm...peppers, tomatoes, broccoli. Lots of cheese. LOTS. Cheese is kinda my weakness. Oh! I've got spaghetti. Spaghetti and meatballs? Whatya say, I can help with that one." Alex opened a cabinet and took two wine glasses out, opening Gwen's bottle. (edited)

"Aww look at Oreo, I think he really like me" She squeels as she gets down on her knees and pats Oreo while Alex looks for some ingredients to cook a delicious meal. "Umm, cheese is my weakness too" Gwen replied while she tries to manage Oreo from eating her hair."Also, something for Oreo here? He like my hair a little too much" She giggles as she manage to dodge Oreo and walk up to the kitchen. "I really love how you've decorated the house, looks like a cool place to be at unlike my fancy big house for one" She says picking up the glass of wine and just stirring it for a while as she leans on the kitchen counter with help of her hips as support facing Alex as she picks out utensils and starts to boil water for the spaghetti. Gwen takes a sip of her wine and puts the glass down right next to Alex's glass and takes over the boiling water pot and sprinkles some salt to it while it boils. "So when are you back usually from work?" Gwen starts up the conversation again as she opens up the spaghetti packet and empties them up in another container.

"I usually work 8-5, and the base is right down the road, so I'm normally home by 5:30. Monday, Wednesday, Friday are my gym days, so I'm home a bit later then." Alex took out another pot, sauteeing some garlic and adding tomato sauce as well as fresh tomatoes. She sipped on her wine, which was definitely starting to get to her. "What's your work day look like?" After a few minutes of chatting about work and their schedules, the timer went off and they wrapped up their cooking, draining the spaghetti and plating it along with the meat sauce. Alex grabbed a block of parmesan from the fridge and grated it on top. She bent down and inhaled the scent of the dish. "Ohmygod. This smells amazing. I might need you to just live here, ok? Come on, lets find something to watch while we eat." Alex walked into the living room area, plopping down onto the couch with her glass of wine. Oreo joined her, hopping into the space between Alex and the edge of the couch and nestling herself into what seemed like too small of a crack for him to fit. Alex grabbed the remote and turned on Netflix, looking for something to watch. She stretched her legs out onto the coffee table, extending her arm over the top of the couch and waiting for Gwen to join her. "What kinda stuff you like to watch?"

Gwen picked up her wine adjusted two plate in one hand as If she is a professional waitress working at a restaurant. "Umm, anything new? Romantic lately?" She asked as she put down bot the plates on the coffee table itself a little away from Alex's legs. "Watch out for the food or else we'll have nothing to eat" She giggles and sat down on the couch crossing her legs and sipping on that wine. "Oh Oreo, why are you there? Come to me, don't you like me?" Gwen said and picked up Oreo placing him right next to her and caressing his back. "Look at you fluffy cat, come site with me" She said again in that weird squeaking voice. Oreo comfortable sat down next to her rubbing against her thighs. Gwen picked her plate up from the table and slowly slurped in a little spaghetti. "Umm, wow. This is amazing.. you'll get more such food from now on" Gwen says with some excitement in her voice while she still rubs Oreo playfully.

Alex flipped through Netflix until she found a romantic comedy series that looked good. She pressed play and picked up her bowl of pasta from the table, slurping it up. "It tastes as good as it smells, Gwen. Thank you for coming by! I can definitely get used to you spoiling me." Alex and Gwen binged on their new series until late into the night. Netflix asked them if they were still watching, and Alex took the opportunity to get up and stretch her legs, picking up their finished plates and taking them over to the sink. Alex glanced at the clock on the wall in the kitchen. "Oh wow, 1am. You're gonna be a bad influence! I've got work in the morning so I'd better be getting to bed. Were you planning on coming by tomorrow while I'm working? Alex paused for a second, considering what she knew about Gwen so far. It was obvious that there was chemistry between them, but at the same time, she seemed pretty happy with her husband. Alex didn't want to do anything that would sour what was turning out to be the best friendship she'd had in a while. She stopped what she was doing and made eye contact with Gwen. It was her eyes that convinced Alex to take a chance that evening. "If you wanted, you could stay here tonight. If ya wanted, uh, ya know, wanted someone to cuddle with." Alex looked away, embarrassed and worried about whether she was ruining what had been a wonderful night with that question.

It was quite late now and the series had ended. Oreo also went on to his usual place by the corner and was about asleep. Gwen stretched a bit on the couch with her both hands in the air and legs out wide. "Ouch, I think my back hurts a bit" Gwen said bending a bit side ways to see if it was fine or not. "Okay, I think I'm fine and oh yes I was kind of thinking to come by tomorrow too if it's not an issue with you. Would love to not be alone for a change. Besides Oreo seems to like me and the owner also seems to like my company" She giggles as she gets up from the couch picking up the empty wine glasses with her dropping them of at the sink. "I won't mind staying here tonight. I'll get up early and make some breakfast too. What time would you be ready to roll for work?" She says as she opens the refrigerator and for a brief moment she closes her eyes because of the sudden exposure of light from the fridge. She grabs a bottle of water and takes a sip or two.

Gwen said she didn't mind staying the night and Alex's heart fluttered up into her throat. Okay, don't screw this up. You just met. Yes she's pretty awesome and a great cook and she's gonna stay at your place but PLAY IT COOL GIRL. "Cool, I was hoping you'd stay. It's no fun being alone, but I'll be honest with you, I am so over tinder dates. It's exhausting. I'm gonna get ready for bed. Maybe you wanna run back to your place and get something to sleep in? Or, I've got a bunch of comfy clothes here in the bedroom. Top drawer on the right." Alex went into the bedroom, grabbing a tshirt and comfy shorts. She disappeared into the bathroom, closing the door but leaving it just a bit ajar so steam could get out. She let the water run for a while until the bathroom was warm and full of mist, and then went through her nighttime routine. Thinking to herself about how the night would end.

"Okay, I'll borrow something from your wardrobe then" She said walking into her bedroom after she went into the bathroom with her clothes. Gwen unbuttoned her shirt and removed it dropping it on the bed. She walked over to the drawer and started to look for a comfortable tshirt that would help in this heat or preferably a tank top. While searching for the top, she noticed steam coming out of the bathroom. Gwen leaned a little bit to look for the place from where the steam is coming. Everything looked blurry but a clear silhouette of a Alex was visible behind the thick mist. She straight away went back to finding a top for her. "Aah, I got one" she said picking it up and grabbing shorts to go with. She unbuttoned her shorts and threw it next to her shirt. She quickly put on the tank top which looked like a baggy tank top on her given she had a petite body and then quickly slide on the shorts. She picked her clothes and rolled them up and put it aside jear the laundry bag. "Uhh, I'm tired" she sighed and just let her body drop on to the comfy looking bed spreading her legs wide and arms above her head.

Alex finished up her shower, drying herself and taking off her makeup. She towel dried her hair, letting the wet blue curls fall onto her back. The tshirt fit snugly against her chest, and the shorts were relaxed but tiny, leaving most of her legs exposed. She brushed her teeth and wrapped up her nighttime routine, walking towards her bedroom. Wisps of steam floated up towards the ceiling from the open door. "Ugh, I hope you don't mind me looking like a wet dog." Alex laughed, looking over to Gwen. Even though the clothes were baggy on her, there was something about seeing Gwen wearing her clothes, lying on her bed, that was very arousing. Alex was so distracted checking her out that it took her eyes a moment to come up to Gwen's face and realize that she was looking at her, too. Their eyes met and Alex turned red with embarrassment, darting her eyes downward. She started playing with her hair so that her fingers would have something to keep them busy. "Glad you managed to find something." Alex shut off the overhead light so that the lamp on the end table was the only source of illumination in the room, casting dim orange shadows on the walls. She climbed into bed behind Gwen, lying next to her and stroking her outstretched arms with her hand. In that moment, Alex wanted more than cuddles, but Gwen seemed happily married and she wasn't about to make the first move. "I'm exhausted too. I'm glad you decided to stay the night, I sleep soooo much better with someone next to me. Anything else you need before we turn out the lights?"

"Umm, were you checking me out a minute ago there?" Gwen whispered into Alex's ears as Gwen rolled on to her left side with her face right in front of Alex's face with a very little space between them. Gwen could feel Alex's fresh cold breath on her face which kind of felt satisfying to her. Maybe it was the alcohol making her feel that way. Gwen tucked some wet hair strands from Alex's forehead to the back of her ear. "You are beautiful, Alex" Gwen murmured in a similar voice when she was talking to Oreo a while back. Gwen extends her arms around Alex's tummy and came much closer almost cuddling her. (edited)

Welp. That was close enough to the first move for Alex. She leaned in and placed her lips on Gwen's, first softly to make sure she would accept the kiss, but growing more passionate as she felt her acceptance. Her tongue slipped into Gwen's mouth, playing with hers, lips connecting and pulling at each other. Alex felt the heat build inside her, the craving that had been in the back of her mind all evening coming to the surface to feed on this delicious snack in front of her. Alex moved her hands up to Gwen's wrists which were still above her head, restraining her. She turned her so that she was on her back, and climbed on top as they kissed, straddling her with her knees on Gwen's side, holding her down with her body. Blue hair fell down on their faces, mixing in with Gwen's red highlights and creating a curtain of colors. Alex broke the kiss, biting down on Gwen's lower lip and pulling back as she let go. Her head moved down to Gwen's throat, nibbling on her neck and sucking on her earlobe. She moved so that her lips were right next to Gwen's ear, and as she tightened her grip with her hands and her thighs, she whispered to her. "Yes, I was. Is that a problem?"

Gwen played along with Alex's tongue in her mouth. It all got out of control suddenly, as if it was all about to happen some point and this was it. Gwen didn't hold back nor she was having any thoughts in her mind. She was all focused on one person and that was Alex. Gwen felt each and every touch of Alex on her body. In no time she was pinned down by Alex as she climbed on top her and got her into a tight grip using her strong body to good use. Alex wandered down to her throat leaving a wet trail over her while Gwen's hands wandered around Alex's lower back caressing her and slowly letting one hand slide under her top feeling her soft back with her hand. Gwen bite her lips looking at Alex as she whispered naughtily in her ears. "Umm, not at all" She giggled as she tries to lift herself a bit to reach a little closer to Alex's neck and nibble and sucking on to her tender neck while she moves her blue strands aside to get more clear access.

Gwen fought against Alex's restraints - the feeling of her beneath Gwen, her muscles flexing as she tried to free herself, turned Alex on like nothing else. Gwen kept her legs squeezed against Alex's, keeping her body in place, but let go of her arms so that she'd be free to use her lips and hands to do what she'd like. Alex let out a soft moan, Alex's teeth on her neck giving her chills that ran down her body. Alex's hands traveled down from Gwen's, moving along her arms and making their way to her chest, finding their way to her waist. She slipped her fingers under Gwen's shirt - the feeling of Gwen's soft skin against Alex's fingers, roughened by work, was a particularly pleasurable sensation. It was like Alex was caressing a bolt of silk. She made her way to her breasts, continuing upwards and lifting Alex's body so that she could raise her shirt. Gwen was now sitting up, Alex still straddling her, as she removed the shirt and threw it to the ground. Her hands moved around to Gwen's back and head, grasping her as they kissed again, with more force and passion now that they were both getting aroused. As they made out, Alex's hands moved to Gwen's bra, undoing the clasp and slipping it off her. Her mouth made its way down to Gwen's perky breasts, rolling a nipple under her tongue and enjoying the sweet taste of Gwen's skin. Earlier in the evening, Alex had so many thoughts racing around her head regarding this new friend. Now, her mind was clear, and she was singularly focused on her physical contact with Gwen as she writhed beneath her in pleasure.

Gwen let out a soft moan as Alex started nibbling on her nipples as they slowly tighten as if they could be easily flicked up and down with minimum efforts. While Alex enjoyed sucking on to Gwen's nipples, Gwen let her left hand make it's way down from whatever space was left between them and reached down to Alex's shorts. She silently got her hands into her shorts and started rubbing her panties over right over her clitoris. While she tries to play around down there, Gwen flips he hair back to allow better access to Alex to suck on her breasts. This was something new for her, something she never felt while she was with her husband. To her surprise she never thought she would enjoy the company of some other girl upclose. "Wow, you're really enjoying them aren't you?" She asks jokingly as Alex takes her time playing and sucking on to her perky breasts. (edited)

Alex let her skin brush against Gwen's, enjoying the buzzing vibration that the sensation between them caused. Gwen teased about Alex's interest in her breasts - that being said, it was obvious that Gwen didnt mind, her nipples becoming hard and perky as Alex's tongue brushed against them. In between licks and sucks, Alex managed out a sentence. "Yes...I do love a good pair...and I'll admit yours are fantastic." The last part, you could hear the grin in her voice. Gwen's hand moved towards Alex's crotch, going down into her shorts. That was the nice thing about another woman's touch - they knew exactly what to do. Alex began to grind up and down on Gwen's hand, her brain fully unable to control the rest of her body. Alex's lips moved up to meet Gwen's again, her hand wrapping around the back of her head and running her hands through Gwen's fiery red strands. Her body was running on its own impulses now, and she brought Gwen close to her, lifting her arms so that Gwen could remove Alex's clothes as well. She closed her eyes, focusing on the sensation of Gwen's lips and tongue playing with her own, arousal growing each time their bodies grazed against each other.

Gwen removed Alex's top and got back to focusing on Alex's soft lips. She started kissing her with much more passion. Gwen moved her hands behind the Alex's back digging her small nails into her making sure she doesn't hurt her a lot but do leave something to look after they are done with the night. Gwen pulls her close and stops kissing Alex and looks at her for sometime as Alex try to reach to her lips but fails to do so. "Look at you, do you want to kiss me huh?" Gwen teases Alex with grin and caresses her back with her fingers biting her lips as she could feel how desparate Alex was to touch and feel her again. (edited)

Their tongues connected and swirled back and forth in each others mouths. The rough texture of their tastebuds felt like they were sparking as they brushed against each others, the high of passion taking over and making it so that Alex couldn't focus on anything but the body straddling her, the restriction of movement driving her to ever higher arousal. Apparently Alex's experience was up to Gwen's standards, and she received confirmation of this with Gwen's nails digging into her back. She had been mostly silent until now, but could not help but allow a moan to escape her lips as the burning rush spread out from the spot where they'd sunken into Alex's soft skin. When Alex began to tease her, Gwen could resist no more. Seeing as it was fairly obvious who was in charge here, Alex strained her neck, reaching for Gwen's lips as much as she could. "Please...don't stop. I want more of you. I want all of you." Alex pulled down her shorts so that the two of them were both naked in bed now, a tangle of skin and sweat and passion. She ground against Gwen, not just unable to resist but barely even conscious of her actions, driven by primal impulse. "Please..." she said with a moan, begging Gwen to continue and grant them both release.

"I like the way you want me, Alex" Gwen said in her very own sultry voice as she gently pulled Alex towards her and letting herself fall back on the bed giving Alex the control she wanted so much. As she laid down on the bed with her front facing Alex, she spread her legs apart just enough to allow Alex the access she needs. "What are you waiting for now?" Gwen asks as she called her towards her with just a hint from her eyes to Alex's. This was the connection that was missing between Gwen and her husband, Gwen desparately needed a friend and now it looks like she has one who wants the same amount of love in return.

Gwen finally granted Alex the contact she was so desperately craving from her and the sensation was so rewarding. She embraced Gwen, kissing her as her hands moved up Gwen's back and down her sides, their legs moving in and out of each other. Alex broke their kiss, her forehead touching Gwen's as she breathed heavily with arousal, looking down at the strands of blue and red intertwining. Alex began to make her way down Gwen's body, starting with her ear and then letting her lips make their way down to her neck and nipples, sucking and biting in the right places. Her hands traveled up and down Gwen's torso as she worked, tracing smooth lines that traveled down her most sensitive regions. Alex struggled to control her excitement and eagerness as she made her way down to Gwen's clit and began rubbing it with her tongue, consistent slow licks tracing circles around her pearl and making the blood rush to it. Her gaze, focused on pleasuring Gwen, moved up to study Gwen's face and make sure she was enjoying herself.

The moment Alex began using her tongue just at the place Gwen wanted she couldn't just control but let out a moan. Gwen tries to reach for Alex's hair and just gently moves them from blocking her way to have a look at what she's upto down there. Gwen holds on to Alex's hair and pushes her head just a bit more which was just the kind of confirmation Alex needed in case she was wondering if Gwen's enjoying or not. Gwen moves her legs on top of Alex's strong shoulder and locks them just behind her neck making sure Alex is restrained down there, just as she did so Gwen felt shivers running up and down her body probably because Alex hit the so called mythical spot. "Uhh-Damn, what did y-you just do?" Gwen questioned still getting hold of her breathe a bit and slightly lifting her head trying to have a good look at Alex. "M-maybe just don't stop, you are doing it right. My husband needs to learn from you" She whispers as Alex works some magic with her tongue. (edited)

Alex couldn't help but have a grin on her face as she felt Gwen squirm on top of her. Gwen's legs came up and wrapped around her shoulders, pinning her down. Alex leaned into it, letting herself become locked in between Gwen's legs. The feeling of submission, of losing control, washing over her. She felt a heat inside that started deep in her chest and spread throughout her body. She wanted Gwen - now it was beyond playfulness on the couch. For that night, Alex wanted to be in a world where nothing else mattered but her and Gwen in that bedroom. "...My husband needs to learn from you." With those words, Gwen tore Alex out of that fantasy, a reminder of the responsibilites they had outside of that moment in time. "No." Alex moved back up so that she was eye to eye with Gwen, their bodies pressed against each other, "Tonight exists in a bubble, outside of our every day lives. Tonight, it is just about you and me. No him." Alex put her hand behind Gwen's head and kissed her again Her other hand moved back down to Gwen's clit, working to finish her off. Alex was eager for her turn, after all. In between soft kisses, Alex couldn't help but grin with delight, arousal coursing through her body. "You're so soft...I can't wait to feel you cum on me." Each time their lips touched, a spark flew through Alex's body, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake.

Gwen nods in agreement to what Alex had to stay about the night being there own little bubble. Gwen was more aroused by how Alex was treating her, she was pampering Gwen and her body. Gwen throws her head back unable to control the sensation that was flowing through her body. Gwen looked back at Alex grinning and bitting her lower lip in anticipation of her orgasm. She could feel a rush of blood towards the bottom as her knees start to go weak and makes her leg tremble. "U-hhh, yes Alex. Don't stop" She managed to speak few words curling up against Alex's body almost hugging her putting all her weight on to Alex while she continues her work with some determination. Gwen let's out a grunt letting her head collapse on to Alex's shoulder. Her legs curled up with Alex's hand still in between them covered in all sorts of juices flowing out. It was a mess. "Huh, I'm sorry for the mess" Gwen giggled catching up on her normal breathing rate.

Alex felt Gwen shaking in ecstasy as her release finally came, her fingers digging into Alex's back, her body pressing its weight into her. She smiled and couldn't help but let out a little laugh as Gwen said those final words before cumming onto Alex, making a mess of themselves under the fluffy white bedsheets. The two laid there, cuddling with each other, feeling the warm vibration of their skin rubbing against each other, basking in Gwen's post-orgasm glow. Alex grinned as she looked up at her, quite pleased with her handiwork. She leaned in, giving her sweet kisses as their bodies pressed against each other. "No apologies. I'd stay messy with you forever if I had the choice."

Gwen smiled at Alex adjusting her blue hair strands and bit her lower lip. "Uh, well time for me to pay what you've rightfully earned" Gwen said before sneaking down under the blanket which covered both of them. Gwen straight away went all in without hitting the bush around. She started gently rubbing her extended skin over resting over her clit. Noticing how wet Alex was she also started using her tongue flicking the clit gently. She could already her contractions down there and make it out how well she is enjoying it. Meanwhile, Gwen's hand wandered around her strong thighs caressing them gently. She could feel how tensed every muscle was and she just knew what was needed to release it all. While she worked on with her tongue, Gwen gently let two fingers slide in the opening which went in pretty smooth given how tight it looked. She could hear Alex's muffled moans under the blanket with her hands trying to search for Gwen's head.
