It’s been two days since you stayed over at Ellie’s place for the first time. Two days that you’ve spent dutifully ignoring the undeniable difference in yours and Ellie’s relationship—quite spectacularly, if you did say so yourself.
You’re packing up your bag after your afternoon study session at your college’s library when you get a text. It’s Ellie.
— hey. wanna come over in a bit? i was thinking we could finally get to watching revenge of the sith.
You stare at the message for a minute, considering whether or not it was a good idea, before two more messages hurriedly come in.
— i swear you won’t fall asleep with this one like last time
— i’ll even ease down on the constant commentary ;)
The second message makes you laugh and roll your eyes. Yeah, right. The girl couldn’t keep her mouth shut for more than three minutes during the entire first trilogy, always having something to say. You doubt it’d change now.
Finally, you text back.
— doubt it
— …be over in a bit
It’s not long before you’re changed into more comfortable movie-watching clothes and knocking at the door to her apartment.
Two, three seconds pass when the door swings open. She smiles when she sees you.
“Hey."
You smile back. “Hey."
She steps backwards to let you in. “Get the movie going if you want, I’m gonna just change out of these jeans."
“All right.” You head over and plop onto the couch, putting on the DVD and clicking the movie.
Ellie comes back in shorts. Your eyes widen almost imperceptibly when you see her toned legs on display and you look away, hyperaware of the fact that your cheeks feel warm. She doesn’t say anything as she settles into the couch and starts the movie.
~~~
Somehow, you and Ellie migrate closer to each other throughout the course of the movie, now only inches separating you.
You last thirty minutes before the silence gets to you. Ellie keeps good on her promise of not speaking during the movie, though it doesn’t stop her from having overly dramatic reactions to the scenes, which makes you giggle.
“You can speak, you know,” you say after a while.
“I’m proving a point,” she teases, looking over at you, mischief dancing in her eyes.
“And what point is that?"
“That I can be quiet if properly motivated."
You raise a brow. “And what’s your motivation now?"
“Keeping you here with me,” she says. “So you can enjoy one of the best movies ever created, and realize there’s no better way to spend your time.”
“I can think of better ways to spend my time,” you say breathily, your eyes trailing up her body and landing on her lips.
She catches on quickly, and grins. “By all means, prove me wrong."
You only giggle before straddling her and tangling your hands in her hair, tilting her head back so you can kiss her slowly. Her hands instantly go to your hips, gripping them firmly as you deepen the kiss, sighing into her mouth. She tastes like mint and watermelon chapstick and you’re lost in her as her hands move and grab and pinch at your body.
You break the kiss to catch your breath but she doesn’t waste a second, using the opportunity to tug your shirt off your head, leaving you in just your bra.
She kisses you again like she’s a starving woman and you’re the cure—hot and passionate and messy intense. “Wait,” she breathes, pulling away for a second. “Here,” she pants, grabbing your hand and pulling you to the small dining table she has.
She gestures for you to hop on the table, which you do, giggling as you wrap your legs around her hips, your bodies warm and delicious against each other. “I like your thinking, Williams."
Her only reply is a messy kiss that has you gasping into her mouth and gripping her hair tightly—making her moan into your mouth.
She’s pushing you backwards, about to turn the make-out into something else when a thought pops into your mind—making you blurt out, “Wait!"
She freezes and pulls away from you slightly, enough to look into your eyes, concern playing on her face, “What’s wrong?"
“Shit, this is such a bad time to do this but—we need to talk."
She frowns and goes to pull away fully but you grab her before she can get too far. “No, stay, please. I’d love to continue this in just a minute,” you tease, “but I need to get this out first."
“Okay,” she smiles reassuringly. “What’s up?"
Well, here goes nothing, you think, praying silently it goes well.
“I want to be honest with you, Els. I know we’ve been… blurring the lines recently. We’re just friends, but we do more-than-friends stuff,” you point out, referring to two nights ago. “And I’ve been fine with that. I really have. It’s been nice living in our own bubble, not acknowledging whatever’s going on but… before things go any further, I need you to know the truth."
You swallow, willing the words to escape your mouth. “I’m in love with you. I… I have been for a while. I want something real with you, something outside this bubble, something permanent. If you don’t want that, I understand, but I can’t go on with this then because—"
“I want that too,” she confesses, eyes wide and a beaming smile on her face. “God, I want that so bad.” She kisses you passionately, fingers tangling in your hair. “Yes,” she says between kisses. “Yes to whatever it is you’re asking. I want it too. I want whatever you want, as long as it’s with you,” she whispers, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ears.
You swear your heart melts on the spot. “Okay,” you whisper, smiling uncontrollably. “Back to business, then.”
She only laughs before laying you down slowly on the table, trailing kisses down your body, removing clothing items as she goes until you’re fully bare, a feast laid out for her.
Ellie presses a tender kiss to the inside of your thigh that has you sighing, and squirming, as you wait for her to get to where you need her most.
“Stop teasing,” you grumble from above, but she pays you no heed. She licks a long stripe up your other thigh, so, so slowly, and you’re just about to whine when finally—her mouth meets your core, tongue lapping at your sopping folds.
A moan escapes you before you can stop it and your legs buckle instinctively but Ellie holds you down, her mouth sucking and kissing and biting and devouring. Her fingers come into play too, slipping into you easily with the mess you’re making and it isn’t long before the telltale signs of your climax are echoing through your body.
“Ellie—I’m gonna—fuck.” Your climax washes over you like a turbulent wave, leaving your limbs shaking as Ellie continues her assault with her tongue.
“That’s it, babe, so good for me,” she murmurs, fingers working you through it.
You sigh as the last waves of it pass over you, and sit up on your elbows to look at her. She grins up at you cheekily and licks her fingers clean.
Your eyes widen at the gesture, shaking your head with a laugh as she gets up and drags you to the shower.
Bonus: Ellie’s POV of the morning after!
Ellie stares at your sleeping form, nose adorably scrunched up as your mind sorts through various dreams.
It’s nearly ten in the morning now, but she had only just woken up. Safe to say you two had a late evening, emotions on high after last night's confessions. She has the slightest fear that you’ll think it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, so she fully plans on reassuring you as soon as you wake up with plenty of sweet words and kisses.
Because she does mean it. She’s head over heels for you—and fully committed to this relationship. She’ll take forever with you if you offer it.
But, for now, more moments like these will do, she decides as she snuggles in closer to you.
