Check Yes, Juliet

[Kaili Talith]

The infamous brat pack. The scourge of Sith Lords and burger joints everywhere. Really, it was Rich Kid Central but question was if any of them would agree to that considering none of them were from even remotely average families. Former Sith Empresses, demigod spawn, a Merrill, two children of Sword Jedi or whatever, and the child of a very skilled swordsman. Heck, even Liam was from a very successful turkey farm-or-something. That counted just as much as the others did.

“Yeah, projects. Last I checked Laura studied, Micah hunts and collects stuff, Aela is a Jedi Marshall and Mara is one of the most wealthiest women in the galaxy next to Danger Arceneau.” When put into perspective, they really were privileged. Though, was it in a bad way? Who cared? “We’re most likely went with brat becau- What?!”

Was Allyson hitting Liam? Was Liam hitting on her? Kaili blinked in an attempt to better understand what was going on and how to approach it. In a sense it was obvious what she had to do, but outright stating it hadn’t been her thing. She wasn’t exactly the person Liam would know as someone who talked very much. She had always been quiet and reserved when the Brat Pack met, something that hadn’t really changed since then.

She took a deep breath.

“Well, Liam. You have met Allyson.” The young Talith spoke beneath her breath as she wrapped her arm around the Corellian’s exposed waist. “My girlfriend.”

“She’s been living with me for a few weeks.”

[SIZE=10pt]Liam watched as Kaili pulled Allyson towards her, an arm around the waist and then the acknowledgement of something. His brain started to work out what this possibly meant. When he said girlfriend it usually meant the girl he was seeing and wanted to do dirty sexy things to, but in most cases in his experiences girlfriend with girls mean that they were friends. Though of course Ibaris never really had girlfriends around, he wondered if she considered Kaili and the other girls in the group ‘girlfriends’. He mused over this and watched as Allyson leaned into Kaili’s grasp. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]“Girlfriend that lives with you…” He spoke out loud repeating what Kaili had said in a few short words. He continued to process everything, no one ever said Liam was a bright kid. The boy was more muscle than smarts – that’s where Ibaris completed the pair. The girl was as bright as her Papa and as classic as her mother. Of course the relationship that he was staring at mirrored Ibaris’ parents, but because Ashin was considered ‘Papa’ the thought went over the young Mandalorian’s head. “That’s pretty cool.” Nodding, Liam made up his mind and did his best to make every move he made flex his muscles. He worked hard on them so he might as well flaunt it. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]A hand rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to think of a way to salvage the small talk he was trying to achieve with Allyson. Kaili was like a kid sister, so doing things with her that was intimate was beyond the question. Also, he assumed Micah would try and shoot him. Biceps flexing and a charming boyish smile flashed towards Allyson. “That’s really awesome that you’ve made more friends Kaili – especially friends as gorgeous as the beauty you have living with you.” Liam had been there at the crash, but he was able to try and do other things while Kaili and Micah was dealing with what they were dealing with. He had heard afterwards the situation Kaili was put into. Liam worried about her, but he knew with the way the Talith kids were, she was never going to be alone. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]It made him happy that she was finally getting out enough to make new girlfriends. [member="Kaili Talith"][/SIZE]

 

[Kaili Talith]

It was just too bad that Liam’s attempt went right past Kaili and perceived as a compliment or even just small talk between all three of them. Kaili pulled Allyson closer as a sign of their closeness, a peck landed on the Corellian’s cheek before Kaili placed her head on Allyson’s shoulder. She looked at Liam, let the moment pass before she lifted her head and let go of her partner’s waist. It was time to go back to reality and with it she walked on over to the pizza box. A third of it left, most of it the mushroom infused partition. The one that didn’t really taste all that good by itself.

A quick look went back to Liam.

“So, what brought you out here, Liam?” Kaili shrugged. “Other than to see me, I mean.”

“Got business in town?”

[Liam Quez]

It was probably a good thing that Liam’s comment went over the blonde girl’s head. He had a feeling he wouldn't be living for much longer if she picked up on what he was saying. Sighing softly, he just grinned and realized that there was probably no going forward with his advancements as innocent as they could be with Allyson. A small coin dropped in the back of his mind as he realized the sort of ‘girlfriend’ Allyson was to Kaili. He would have never guessed it after the time they had spent here and there. Following the two girls, he stood near the half eaten pizza and shrugged.

“Not really. Ibaris was rather adamant that she was going to be working and that she needed to be left alone. You know that face she makes when she’s serious about something.” Of course Liam being around the girl 24/7 he was able to mimic the look quite well. Eyes squinted and nose wrinkled, his lips puckered slightly as he looked at Kaili and Allyson with his shoulders hunched slightly and his hands on his waist. In his best Ibaris voice, he quickly said what she usually said to him. “Farmboy, you need to keep yourself busy. I’m going to be working and it's ‘serious’ so stay out.”

The frowny face faded from his face as he laughed and kept his hands in his pocket. Shrugging, he shook his head. “She’s focused there’s no pulling her from her work. At least I get to help her more with me learning how to smith beskar and other things.” There was a slight smile that tugged at the corner of his lips. As much as she got on his nerves and drove him up the wall, he couldn't help but be so in love with her that it hurt. Again a sigh and he looked at the two of the girls in the room. “Thought I’d stop by and catch up with you Kaili, I mean it's been awhile and most of us haven’t heard much from you.” His smile faded, “Ibaris and I have worried about you.” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson caught what the boy meant and waited for Kaili to rip his head off. There was something that she felt shift, emotions maybe from the girl beside her. A smile cracked at the corner of her lips as she felt the blonde woman’s lips touch her tender cheek. The tender moment of possession continued as Kaili placed her head softly against Allyson’s shoulder. Her own hand would rest against the slender arms that wrapped around her waist. Part of the Corellian wished the boy wasn’t in the room, she would push forward with these affectionate touches into something more. Still, cuddling was also on the menu, but again the Mandalorian boy was in the way.

It would be funny that the turkey boy would cockblock her.

Kaili moved away from her as they both listened to the boy and his plans. He mimicked some girl that they both knew and she laughed along with him wondering if the girl he spoke of was really like this or if this was some exaggeration. She would have to poke Kaili about this Ibaris girl when they were alone. Allyson wanted to know all of Kaili’s friends, they seemed like interesting people. Making note of the three names she’s heard so far, she nodded and made plans to ask more about Kaili’s childhood and growing up with this brat pack when she got the chance.

There was this need to feel Kaili against her. Standing next to her for the most part by the pizza, Allyson moved slightly and stood behind the blonde, wrapping her arms around the girl’s waist from behind. She rested her head against Kaili’s shoulder blade the best she could as she listened to the two make conversation. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

There was no point in the two of them separating. Kaili smiled as Allyson wrapped her arm around her waist and mirrored what Kaili had done to her only a few minutes ago. The ticket seemed to fall into place, or so the look on Liam’s face said. She’d lie if she said he wasn’t interesting, but in the light of things few things felt as good for the young Talith as Allyson did. It felt right in a sense, and that was good enough for her to keep on. Her head nodded up and down as Liam spoke of worry and checking up. She appreciated it, if only because it meant some sort of further reconnection with who she used to be back then.

“I appreciate it.” She smiled and pushed the pizza box closer to Liam. “You can have one, if you want. As long as you like mushrooms.”

“I am doing just fine.” She felt the frown twitch on her lip. “I, uh, dropped of the face of the galaxy for a while.”

And just like that she felt the mood go down the drain. In reality her new coping mechanism was to not think on it. The trauma didn’t hurt, but it was there and she felt it every now and then. Not very often, but it happened.

“And then Allyson found me, my family helped too.” She began to draw Allyson closer. Something to get her out of the conversation. Anything. “I’ve been-... It wasn’t easy. I just, kept pushing, you know?”

[Liam Quez]

“Glad to hear it Kaili. You’re a good person, just gotta learn from the things that life throws at you.” Liam smiled and felt like he was somewhat interrupting something that had been going on between the two girls. Doing his best he wished Ibaris was finished with whatever she was doing or even better if she had come with him. He knew she missed everyone even if she does her best to seem as distant as possible. The girl was weird, but he liked her well enough.

“Ibby and I have been pretty good, she’s gotten better with Alchemy and I’ve picked up smithing and the likes. Uh we keep to ourselves and such.” He paused and sighed softly. The way Kaili acted with the girl Allyson made him jealous. He wished he could do such things with Ibaris, but the girl barely has gotten comfortable enough to hold his hand. Still it was more than nothing and he figured he’d be well into his thirties before she let down all her walls. He’d keep trying though, because in the end she was his soul mate or whatever people called them nowadays.

It was possible that this Allyson was Kaili’s. “She’s warmed up to me finally.” A grin showed his excitement and with that excitement the comm in his pocket started to make noise. Standing straight, he reached into his pocket and pulled the comm out and answered quickly. “Princess!” His smile faded and his brow creased into a frown. “But you said you’d call when you were done, what?! You nev- alright alright I’ll be there.” The call ended and he sighed. “Women.” Shrugging, he headed towards the door.

“Sorry this was cut so short, but you two seem you have the rest of your day planned. I best be off, before she hangs me by my ankles in the cargo hold of the ship...eheheheh” The look on his face showed that he was only half kidding. Leaving, he nodded and headed back towards the port as fast as he could. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson remained quiet and remained holding Kaili tightly. She hid slightly remembering how it felt to have the boy’s eyes on her. She wished she was coherent enough when Kaili woke her up to figure that there was company at the door. Watching the boy explain his situation with this girl named Ibby and wondered what he meant by ‘finally warmed up’. It was curious that a girl would hold off with this kind of guy. He seemed quite lovely and it helped that his face was cute and oh the muscles. A part of her wanted to get the hug that Kaili had gotten when he was at the door, but she decided to keep her wishes to herself.

Then came the call and Allyson couldn’t help but chuckle burying her face into Kaili’s shoulder. It would only embarrass the boy who was getting what seemed to be a scolding by the girl he called Princess. The Corellian figured that the girl he called princess was also this Ibaris girl. The nickname seemed perfect, from what she had heard about the girl.

He left and then it was just the two of them. Seeing this as her opportunity, she pulled the Talith girl against her and bit softly at her earlobe for just a tender moment. A grin spread across her face as she chuckled. “Are all your friends like that?” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

An unamused glare fell over Kaili at the mention of ‘women’ as if Liam hadn’t noticed two thirds of the room were, in fact, women. The fact that Ibaris had called him away from the scene wasn’t something new, in fact it was part of what Kaili had expected. When it came to bossy, Ibaris was it, but if Liam loved her he loved her. Kaili turned to look at the back of Allyson’s head as the Corellian buried her grin deep within her shoulder. A smile set over her and she nodded a farewell at Liam.

“Catch you later, gator.” The secret codephrase. Or well, no. Liam disappeared on the other side of the door and the two girls were alone again. The silence hung for a moment as they ensured he was gone. An errant breath swept against the young Talith’s eardrum as teeth nibbled at her earlobe. She stammered. “N-no, Liam is… Unique.”

Codeword for slow, but loveable nonetheless. The kid turned around to face Allyson in full, their eyes met once more before Kaili ran her eyes up and down the contours of the Corellian’s body. An internal struggle ensued as she bit her lower lip to stave off the urges but it was all in vain. Her arms wrapped themselves around the woman’s upper body as lips were forced upon one another. A hand frantically ran up and down Allyson’s lower back trying to grab a hold of the hotpants that hugged her lover’s hips, but it was all in vain, the clothes boss won once more and Kaili promptly gave up. The struggle was futile, she had come to understand that much.

So what was this, the third time in two days? A dam had collapsed and with it Kaili had lost her own self-control. Or well, it was an easy excuse. In reality, perhaps she had wanted this for far longer than she had previously known. And right now that meant Allyson.

“Thank the force, I thought he would never leave.” She gasped. “Round 3, right now.”

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson could feel the tension coming from Kaili as she turned to face her. She knew what was coming next and when Kaili crashed into her it was welcomed whole heartedly. Hands wandered and kisses were exchanged, until Kaili came to her usual road block. Clothing remained on the Corellian’s frame as the blonde gave in and pulled away to speak. Grinning, Allyson nodded agreeing with her partner. “Yeah, he did seem to linger at the most inopportune time.” This probably wouldn’t have happened if Liam hadn’t shown up, they probably would have shared breakfast and discussed the movie that Kaili slept through the night before. From there, they would have eventually found their way to freshen up and maybe head to the beach.

Though these turn of events were far more pleasurable, especially after Allyson’s dreams the night before. Determined to show Kaili how to remove her clothing, she reached out and forced the tips of the blonde’s fingers under the elastic waist band of her shorts. “Stay calm, I’m not going anywhere.” She whispered as she helped guide Kaili’s hands to push down her shorts low enough for her to step out of them. Kicking the running shorts to some remote place in the kitchen, Allyson pushed the girl against the counter and pressed her body as much as she could into her. Soft kisses ran along [member="Kaili Talith"]’s chin line down her neck, where Allyson the slipped the girl’s shirt off of her and proceeded to continue the trail of kisses down to her collar bone then giving her shoulder a tender bite.

“If you want round three, you’re going to have to undress me.” A challenge in itself, though if Kaili got too frustrated, Allyson would just rip her own clothing off. She wasn’t going to miss out on round three and possibly four. Today they were going to defeat the clothes boss together. Probably along with Kaili’s self-control, but that seemed to have been beaten already.

 

[Kaili Talith]

It still felt right, even as her hands were guided through the elastic bands of the Corellian’s shorts. Together they passed the first obstacle on the road towards the mutually desired round three. Soft kisses ventured down Kaili’s neck. Her arched backed and curved along the counter, neck craning to leave Allyson with more space to work with. Her pulse slowed down as each beat of her heart felt like one explosion after another. Breathing got harder as teeth nibbled at her bare shoulder.

Allyson was playing Kaili masterfully. Soft fingers slid against the Corellian’s hip, poked against her waist until eventually it slipped underneath the fabrics of the shirt that adorned her lover’s chest. It felt silly to think this was the hardest part, for most people it wasn’t, yet Kaili was the odd one out. Perhaps she was too eager, or perhaps she was just clumsy. Her head had most already hit hard surfaces more often than she wanted to admit because of this ineptitude. But not this time, this time she would take it slow and ease into it. The shirt slowly exposed Allyson’s chest to the crisp air that surrounded them before it traversed alongside her arms. The shirt turned inside out, hooked underneath Allyson’s chin. This was the part where Kaili failed or gave up, but not this time. Her hand moved to unhook it, remaining in place to hold on to Allyson’s chin. The shirt was proudly -- and rather arrogantly -- discarded to the side.

Kaili drew Allyson closer as her fingers graced the Corellian’s cheeks in a state of near-reverence. They had overcome the first endgame boss before the great finale. All that remained were the last two. The two women exchanged roles, Kaili took the initiative. They had to find somewhere better, a counter wasn’t a particularly practical surface.

“I love you.” A plain statement of fact delivered by a whisper as the two women separated. “You, and no one else.”

She felt a need to state it, Allyson needed to know it. Time and time again, she had to know.

The couch drew closer. Kaili was ready for the final step.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

A smile spread across Allyson’s lips as she felt the tender hand against her face. The other girl had focused and had taken her time to remove the shirt – which meant that Allyson wasn’t going to have a collar imprint on her chin. The hand against her face was soft despite Kaili constantly working with her hands, it seemed whatever grease or oil she used on the droids kept her hands soft and delicate for the most part. Allyson raised her hand and held the hand the cupped her face. She didn’t want it to leave, she wanted to feel the tenderness for a lifetime if possible. As she enjoyed the moment, three words that caused her heart to race and to skip as many beats as possible was expressed. Her smile only grew wider as she nuzzled the hand and spoke quietly sharing the moment with the only person in this galaxy she had left, “I love you and only you too.”

It was true, there was some invisible and unbreakable force that drew Allyson to Kaili. She hadn’t felt it the first time they had met, but after feelings were expressed and emotions ran high – it was all she could ever think about. Not being near Kaili felt foreign and she craved to just be in the same room as her. The back of her mind, Allyson could feel herself consistently searching for that feeling through the force for the other girl. It was hard to pinpoint, but she could feel it nonetheless.

Kaili had taken the initiative and Allyson let herself ease into the following role. They moved closer to the couch and Allyson decided to help her lover out and pulled her down as she found herself moving to the somewhat comfortable cushions. Sitting, Allyson pulled Kaili into her lap and wrapped her arms around the girl’s waist. Thumbs and fingertips played along the band of the pants that still clung to Kaili’s frame. Staring at the pair of orange hues, Allyson found herself losing where she was and what she was doing. She could get lost in Kaili’s eyes for ages and never regret it. Lips parted as words were searched for, but were nowhere to be found. The tip of her tongue ran along her lips as she thought, then the corner of her lip was sucked inward and bit down on lightly.

The words she had searched for escaped her lips as she spoke quietly, “Love me…love me till the end of time, [member="Kaili Talith"]. I—I don’t want to love anyone else ever…only you…so please love me forever.” Biting her lip again she nodded, “Because I’ll love you for that long and more.”

 

[Kaili Talith]

Soft lips intercepted the Corellian before she could utter another word. The state of bliss that Kaili found herself in around the other woman’s company was indescribable. Her body tensed in anticipation, her mind begged for yet one more touch. There had been others she had met, people that had riled her up, but none of them quite like Allyson. One moment she was angry at her, the next she couldn’t stand the thought of not seeing her again. The two weeks in which they hadn’t spoken was hell, a form of contact lost with the outside world or the people that hadn’t been part of Kaili’s world for almost as long as she had lived. Allyson was new, she was exciting and she wasn’t going to leave.

“Forever.” She whispered back as she separated from Allyson once more. A gentle pull caused the pants that clung to the young Talith’s body to slide down by her knees as she eased Allyson down on the couch. One leg after another slipped out of captivity until they were discarded. Kaili leaned above Allyson before her arms eased her down onto the other’s body. Eye-to eye, heartbeat to heartbeat in perfect rhythm as they drowned in each other’s eyes.

A careful kiss was placed upon the Corellian lips, a hand caressed her lower waist heading towards Allyson’s thigh.

The rest of the night was allowed to pass in harmony as three faded into four until neither of them was able. A satisfied sigh being the last thing either woman heard before the world faded into black and a world of their own.

And not once did the smile fade from Kaili’s lips.

Allyson didn’t mind that the rest of the day and evening had turned into their expressions of love. On occasion the left over pizza became a source of energy, for Allyson though, she just devoured the toppings which seemed to fuel an annoyance within Kaili. That annoyance of course, was put out when Allyson put it down on the blonde technomancer. Morning came and the sun peeked through the small crack in the window. Peering through enough of the capsule bed, which last night Allyson got fed up and couldn’t latch it closed, she looked up and noticed that morning had come once again.

Weight shifted as she tried to reach up and close the capsule once more, but she felt a soreness that rang through her entire body. Fingertips brushed against the lid and then retreated seeing as for the first time she was worn out and sore. No workout had ever done that to her, but it seemed the one Kaili put her through did the trick. Hazel eyes lazily blinked as she examined the mess of blonde hair she was curled up against. If Allyson was tired, she wondered how beat Kaili was.

A hand moved through the blonde hair, feeling small tangles here and there, a grin swept across the Spacer’s face as she knew that the bed head was her doing and removed her hand from the girl’s head before she would feel a subconscious smack from the blonde. Sighing softly, Allyson adjusted her position and pulled the probably drool drowned Kaili closer to her. Morning had come, but she wasn’t ready to leave the confines of the coffin bed. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Eyelids burned and eyes pained as the light seeped into the tiny little coffin. The eternal struggle against the morning ensued as eyelids lazily batted against one another. Kaili had succeeded in her attempts with results that went beyond her expectations. They had been nearly inseparable for almost the entirety of a day, and even now the morning after they were still entangled with one another. Her eyes closed once more. Something tickled and she reached out to smack it, but it was in vain. There was no strength left in her arms or legs. Her entire body come to think of it. But it didn’t matter, she was content with just lying still in her bed and let the world keep on spinning in bliss.

She felt herself move as Allyson pulled her in closer until her soaked cheek rested against the Corellian’s shoulder. This must have been it, one of the more defining moments of what they would have. Or so the young Talith told herself as she let out a soft yawn. A high-pitched whine called out into the coffin as her eyebrows furrowed.

“Morning.” A hoarse voice whispered into Allyson’s ear before Kaili collapsed back onto her lover’s shoulder again. Her eyelids closed followed by a snore-like inhale. She tried to rise up once more, but it was in vain. Kaili wasn’t going to get anywhere today.

… And for some reason, she felt as if she deserved it.

Sweet release indeed.
