A/N: Part of the Choices Valentine’s Day Party, and requested by Anon!
“You want to…what?” asked Mona, glaring at Ellie.
“I want to celebrate Valentine’s Day,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Don’t look at me like that.”
“Since when do we do that kind of shit?”
“Since today,” Ellie said, taking her hand. “I promise you’ll like it.”
Mona sighed, irritated by what she was about to say. “Fine,” she grunted.
Ellie had her wrapped around her finger, that much was certain. She’d do anything for her, even celebrate a stupid, commercial holiday like Valentine’s Day.
“Yes!” Ellie said, her smile as big as the moon. She was a sucker for that smile. “Get dressed, then we’ll go.”
“Dressed?” Mona asked, looking down at her outfit. “What’s wrong with what I’ve got on?”
“Uh,” Ellie said, trying to find the words.
“I’ll change,” Mona sighed, stomping to her room. She couldn’t help but smile, thinking of a night with her girl.
She pulled out a nice button up top and a pair of black jeans. It wasn’t too fancy, but she didn’t have anything better, so it’d have to do.
She stepped back out into the living room nervously, worried what Ellie would thank.
“Wow,” Ellie said, taking her hand and spinning her. “You look drop-dead gorgeous.”
“Shut up,” Mona said, trying to hide her pink cheeks. “You look pretty hot yourself.”
Ellie wore a halter top and tight jeans, hugging her body just the way she liked.
“Thanks!” Ellie said, winking. “Now let’s go, before we’re late!”
Mona followed her, grumbling as they went.
Ellie pushed her into the passenger seat, a location she did not like to be.
“Really?” she asked, looking at her as she climbed in beside her.
“It’s a surprise!” Ellie said, laughing. “You can drive home. Promise.”
She pulled the seatbelt on as Ellie pulled out of the lot, on their way to…wherever they were going.
“Here,” Ellie said as they drove down the road. “Put this on.”
Mona looked down to see the blindfold in her hand. “Really El?” she said, looking at her with cocked eyebrows. “Is this really necessary?”
“Just do it,” Ellie said, to Mona’s surprise. “Please?” she added to soften the demand.
“God, you so owe me,” she muttered as she tied the blindfold around her eyes.
“Great! You can’t see anything, right?” Ellie asked, putting her hand in front of the blindfold.
“No,” Mona replied. Ellie moved her hand quickly at her face to make sure she wasn’t lying, but she didn’t flinch.
“Good girl,” she said, not thinking.
“Oh,” Mona said deeply. “You’ll pay for that.”
“Heh,” Ellie laughed nervously. “Almost there!”
Mona’s mind wandered with what Ellie could possibly have planned for them tonight. Nice dinner? Maybe a movie? Walk on the beach? None of these ideas sounded terribly appealing to her.
She finally heard the car come to a stop, then Ellie get out of the car. She waited patiently until Ellie opened her door and helped her out.
“Here we are!” Ellie said, pulling the blindfold off. All around her were the most attractive cars she’d ever seen.
“El,” she said, unable to explain how perfect this was.
“You love it?” Ellie asked, smiling nervously.
“I guess,” Mona said, smirking. “Beats some fancy dinner.”
Ellie laughed, pulling on her hand so they could go and look at the cars. They walked through, stopping to look under the hood every few cars.
“This isn’t all, though,” Ellie said, as she took Mona’s hand. “You get to take one of these bad boys for a drive.”
“What?” asked Mona, looking at Ellie with wide eyes. “How did you—”
“Ah,” Ellie said, holding up her finger. “Don’t ruin the mystery.”
Mona laughed, her dark eyes sparkling. Ellie loved making her laugh.
“Well,” Mona replied. “You were right, as always. I do like it.”
“Come on,” Ellie said with a grin. “We’ve got some driving to do.”
Mona followed along to a sleek sports car, staring in awe at the power under the hood. “I get to drive this?” she asked, with all of the excitement of a child on Christmas.
“You betcha,” Ellie said, handing her the keys. “Let’s roll.”
They jumped into the car, excitement coursing through their veins. Mona put the keys in the ignition, listening to the engine roar to life. It was seconds before they were racing around the course, the thrum of the motor rushing through them.
Ellie could feel her pulse between her legs as Mona pushed the gas pedal further, a wild smile on her face. This was a definite success, she thought, as Mona whooped with excitement.
They rushed through the course a few times, the ride over sooner than they’d have liked.
Ellie stepped out of the car, her legs like jelly. She walked over to Mona who grabbed her and kissed her passionately.
Finally separating to gulp for breath, Mona’s eyes met hers, blazing.
“Let’s head home,” she said, sending Ellie’s heart soaring.
