Veronica ducked her head for a second to stop her laugh at Griffin. “You look excited,” Olivia pointed out, raising her eyebrows at Estella with a light laugh. Veronica chuckled a little bit, almost leaning closer to Elaine but stopping herself before she could move. Stupid, that would be even more incredibly stupid.
By now, both Griffin and Estella were bright red. Elaine burst out laughing, almost doubling over in the process. "Out with it," she squeezed out between peals of laughter, "Did you two kiss or what?"
The pair glanced at eachother, then back at Elaine, Veronica, and Olivia.
After a pause, Estella squeaked and hid her face behind her hands.
Veronica laughed -even though she was very guilty of kissing someone- as Olivia added, “You two would be a cute couple.”
Veronica smirked a little bit, amusement written all over her face as she asked, “So what happened between you two lovebirds?”
Griffin opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Elaine raised a teasing eyebrow, shoving him slightly so that he was significantly closer to Estella. "N-Nothing! Nothing-" she peeped, still hiding her face.
Then, Griffin came out of his shell a little and tried for a tiny smirk, thought it came out more nervous and flustered than anything. "I wouldn't call it nothing…."
Veronica let out another laugh, giving them a jokingly accusatory face, “Now, now, friends don’t keep secrets~” Veronica ‘accidentally’ bumped her shoulder against Elaine, treasuring their little secret.
Elaine felt a rush of adrenaline course through her, and she couldn't help the tiniest of secretive smiles. She covered it with another smirk and leaned forward to poke Estella. "Did it feel good? The kiss, I mean. Did he–" she decided to go the extra mile, just to really tease, "– use his tongue??" Both Estella and Griffin let out identical squeaks. "Elaine!"
Both Veronica and Olivia burst out laughing. Veronica hoped that she wasn’t blushing herself, just thinking about the kisses Elaine and her shared from last night and this morning. “See, I don’t think the question is how they kissed, but how long they kissed,” Veronica teased the two with a smirk of her own.
Estella somehow managed to raise a reprimanding finger. "Veronica! Elaine! Liv!" A Spanish accent hinged on each consonant. "Don't act all innocent, I'm sure you guys have had plenty of- plenty of experience with- with-"
Griffin finally caved in and pulled her to him, cutting her off with a long kiss. "Happy?" he asked them when they finally broke apart.
Veronica let out a whistle and teased, “Look who’s the cutetest couple in the hallway!” Olivia laughed again, but Veronica found her eyes drifting to Elaine. Thankfully she caught herself before she stared too long, ripping her eyes away from her beautiful face. But a light pink was definitely dusting her cheeks by now, thinking about Elaine.
Elaine missed neither the look or the faint blush decorating Veronica's cheeks. She was about to add a whistle of her own, when the bell rang for first period. "Shite. We've got to go."
(can we say that Elaine and Veronica don't have class together until the afternoon? I'm thinking we could skip to the period before lunch and have Elaine send Veronica a cute text?)
(Yeah, sure)
“Alright, love y’all,” Veronica called with a smile, eyes catching on Elaine just for a second before she turned. She took a deep breath -prepping herself for the day- and disappeared into the moving crowd of students walking to their classes. She’d miss Elaine today, that was for sure.
They were five minutes into third period and Elaine couldn’t stand it anymore.
Veronica Veronica Veronica Veronica.
Every ounce of her energy was taken up thinking about Veronica, that girl, there was no way she could go any longer without seeing her. She’d almodt written ‘Ver’ in a blank space on her worksheet.
Checking to make sure the teacher and Estella weren’t looking, she pulled out her phone and sent a quick text.
Bathroom, first floor. Meet me there.
I can’t stop thinking about you.
Veronica hesitantly pulled out her phone, making sure the teacher wasn’t looking. Her heart jumped when she saw the text, and within the minute she asked the teacher if she could go the the bathroom. Veronica’s feet couldn’t carry her faster to the first floor bathroom. Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine… She wanted to see her, if only for a second.
Elaine leaned against the cool bathroom wall, letting her eyes fall shut as she waited in anticipation, praying that Veronica would come. The door swung open, and her heart leaped.
Veronica’s eyes lit with joy when she walked in and saw Elaine. A smile was already growing on her face and she immediately went up to Elaine and wrapped her arms around the girl, simply saying, “Hey, love. I missed you.”
Elaine answered by leaning in and pressing her lips softly against Veronica's. "It makes me crazy when you call me that.." she murmured, pulling away just enough for her eyes to sweep over every single perfect feature in front of her. "You make me crazy.. I couldn't stand not seeing you for so long.." She looped her arms around Veronica's neck, nudging her nose up against the other girl's. "I love you."
Veronica’s stress from the first few hours of the day dissipated when Elaine kissed her. She smiled, then came in to steal another kiss. “I love you too… I could hardly stop thinking about you, about last night… Gosh, Elaine I’ve never loved anyone like this before,” Veronica told her, a small laugh coming out of her as she pressed her forehead against Elaine’s.
Elaine couldn't help an exhilarated smile. "Me neither.." She pushed Veronica lightly against the wall, kissing her again. "It's only been two hours but it felt like ages.."
Veronica felt pure want course through her bones, “Too… long…” She murmured, hardly able to take her lips off Elaine’s for more than a few seconds to even talk. She was almost ashamed of the want for Elaine in her chest.
Elaine deepened the kiss, pushing Veronica harder against the wall and pushing her fingers over her cheeks and into her hair. Her heart squeezed painfully, which only prompted her to gently open Veronica's mouth with her own.
Veronica opened, very pleased as the taste of Elaine filled all her senses. This need that had been building in the last two hours, gosh this primal need for Elaine was finally getting its fill. If Veronica wasn’t kissing Elaine right now, she would’ve laughed at how desperate she was and how much she wanted her.
Elaine flicked her tongue across Veronica's lip, asking for permission to slip it in. She came up for air, but only briefly before her mouth was crashing back against Veronica's.
"You have no idea how much I need you………. oh god, Veronica."
Veronica loosened her lips for Elaine to slip in, and her hands started travelling down Elaine’s back lovingly. Elaine, gosh she was so good… Veronica was definitely addicted by now, and she knew she probably should go back to class soon but couldn’t make herself pull away.
Elaine grinned against Veronica’s mouth, moving to deepen the kiss even further. How did I ever get this lucky? She mirrored the other girl’s movements, trailing her fingers up and down her back to prompt her even closer.
Suddenly, foosteps coming down the hall jarred her from her bubble of bliss. She managed to detatch herself from Veronica just as the door to the bathroom swung open.
Veronica jumped, blushing furiously. “I should get back to class,” She whispered, wishing her face wasn’t so flustered, “See you in English,” Veronica reluctantly left, speed walking back to her class.
The class was deep in work, and the teacher looked at her accusingly and asked her quietly, “What took you so long?”
Veronica swallowed, quickly coming up with an excuse, “F-Female issues, I had to stop my at my locker to grab a-“ The teacher cut her off with a gesture to symbolize he didn’t need to hear anymore.
