3 Months Later

Bella was panting heavily, sweat on her brow, and her body trembling
slightly. Katerina was straddling her hips with her hands pinning Bella's
wrists above her head, and breathing just has heavily. They stared at each
other for a few moments.

"How was that?" Bella asked once her breathing was somewhat under control.

"It was pretty good, but you can do better," Katerina replied. Bella lightly
hit her head on the mat beneath her.

"Damn it. I can't get it right," she growled in frustration.

"Relax, Bella. It's only been three months. It took me years to get to where
I am and that was with practicing for four hours every day. Be patient,"
Katerina replied as she stood up, helping her girlfriend up as she did so.
"Let's take a small break, clear your head, and then we'll try again."

The two girls walked over to a bench and downed some water from their water
bottles. It's been about three months since Bella's birthday and the couple
have been growing closer and closer as the weeks passed. Bella still hadn't
told her mom, but she was beginning to think that Diane suspected something.
Bella had caught her staring at the two of them whenever Katerina came over
for dinner or when they were watching a movie with Bella's mother; it was as
if she were observing them and trying to hide it.

Bella also had no plans on coming out in high school, at least, not to
anyone outside of her circle of friends. She normally didn't care about what
others thought about her, but she's seen how cruel teenagers can be to
homosexuals in high school and she wanted to avoid such torment. Katerina
was very understanding and never pressured her to come out until she was
ready.

The seventeen year old watched her girlfriend out of the corner of her eye
and felt the now very familiar feeling of lust rising up in her. Katerina
was slightly sweaty and she was wearing tight black sweats that hugged her
curves perfectly. Her black tank top clung to her torso in all the right
places. She watched a bead of sweat slowly make its way down her neck and in
between her breasts beneath her top.

Things have heated up in physical department between the two girls. Several
make out sessions have become much more steamy and intense since they first
started out. Bella has been scared to take things any further; further being
able to touch Katerina intimately. Every time she tried, she backed out at
the last second. Katerina had noticed some frustration with Bella and wanted
to help her, but she also wanted Bella to move forward when she was ready.
She never wanted to pressure Bella, but it had started to take its toll on
her. The nineteen year old like to think that she had total control over her
body, but when it came to Bella, she was so close to losing it when they
were physical. Her libido demanded she take things into her own hands, but
she wanted to move at Bella's pace.

Katerina took a deep breath to control the moisture that had started to grow
in her nether regions. She turned to her girlfriend with a smile.

"Ready to go again, sport?" she teased. She had learned that the younger
girl disliked the nickname and looked extremely beautiful when she scowled
every time she heard it. Katerina saw Bella's brow furrow with an almost
glare. Katerina winked and quickly pecked Bella's lips to stop her protest,
then jumped up to start again.

Katerina and Diane had been very serious on Bella's birthday about starting
martial arts classes. The nineteen year old had tried to refuse Diane's
money, but the woman insisted. So, Bella was taking self defense classes at
a reduced rate, at Katerina's persistence, three times a week from Katerina.
Bella couldn't see how much progressed she had made, but Katerina was
adamant when she told her girlfriend she was doing as well as to be
expected, which was true.

After every lesson, Katerina and Bella would go out on a date whether it was
going to the zoo or seeing a movie or taking long walks in the park near
Katerina's apartment. They're relationship was going extremely well. Bella
knew that she could very easily fall in love with Katerina and was well on
her way.

After the lesson that day, the couple decided to head over to Katerina's
apartment to watch a movie and eat dinner. Tonight's movie was Shawn of the
Dead. Both have seen Dawn of the Dead and loved that one, so the comedy
version was a lot of fun to watch. Bella and Katerina loved watching movies
at home together. It allowed them to just be together and not worry about
Bella's mom suddenly appearing when if they were making out or cuddling.

Currently, after each had showered to get rid of their work out sweat (Bella
had clothes at Katerina's apartment for just that reason), Bella and
Katerina were lying on the couch in the living room with Katerina slightly
sitting up against the arm rest and Bella lying between her legs against her
chest. Katerina had her arms wrapped around the younger girl as she held her
close. She loved nothing more than then to hold the girl in her arms for
hours on end, inhaling her intoxicating scent. Both were so comfortable,
they doubt even an earthquake could make them move.

The couple laughed and giggled throughout the movie. When it was over, they
both stood up and went to the kitchen to start making dinner. Katerina had
also been teaching Bella how to cook and that night, they decided to make
lasagna.

Bella loved cooking with Katerina. It was fun and educational, but she also
felt so comfortable and at home when she was doing something so domestic
with her girlfriend. Sometimes, she would picture the two of them several
years later in a home in the suburbs with a few kids, still cooking dinner
together. It was at these times when Katerina would ask her what she was
smiling about. Bella would give her a secret smile, softly kiss her lips,
but didn't answer.

One of the things that Bella and Katerina loved most about their
relationship was that they never ran out of things to talk about. They could
talk for hours and hours about anything and everything. But they were also
comfortable to just sit in silence without any pressure to speak; content
with just being in each other's presence.

"Want to pop in another movie? It's the weekend, so I don't have to be home
until later," Bella suggested once they had finished doing the dishes from
dinner.

"Sure, sounds great. You can go pick out one. I'll finish these up,"
Katerina replied with a smile. Bella dried her hands, then went to the
living room to choose from the hundreds of movies that Katerina had stored
in the coat closet, which only had three coats (two for Katerina, one for
Bella).

The younger girl looked through her choices, wondering what she felt like
watching. She smiled mischievously when she saw Freddy vs. Jason.
Horror! Perfectly cuddle friendly movie she thought as she pulled it out.

She looked at the back. It looked gruesome, but she would put up with
disgusting images in order to get as close to Katerina as possible. Not that
she needed an excuse, but it was nice to feel safe in her girlfriend's arms.

She put the movie in and sat down just as Katerina came into the living
room.

"What did you put in?" she asked, sitting down next to the younger girl.

"You'll see."

After an hour into the movie, Bella was pretty much lying on top of
Katerina, her face hidden in the crook of the nineteen year olds neck.
Katerina held the girl and rubbed her back in an attempt to sooth her. She
tried hard not to laugh as she heard her girlfriend squeak in fear when she
saw a scary part.

"Why did you pick this movie when you know you're easily afraid of horror
films?" Katerina asked after a particularly gruesome part.

"I don't know," came Bella's muffled reply since she was, once again, hidden
in the crook of Katerina's neck. The older girl chuckled at her girlfriend's
antics.

"Well, I do know of something that can take my mind off of the evil, scary
killers," Bella whispered as she traced Katerina's ear with her lips, barely
touching the skin. Katerina shivered.

"Really? And what would that be?" she asked as she tried to remember how to
breathe properly.

"It's better if I show you," Bella whispered before she started sucking and
nibbling on Katerina's ear lobe. The dark haired girl moaned in approval.

"That—that works really...well," she whispered. She found it hard to put her
thoughts into words as her mind spun.

Bella absolutely loved the taste of her girlfriend's skin. It was a drug
that she easily became addicted to and always tried to get her fix as often
as she could. She moved down slightly as she started to lap at Katerina's
neck with her tongue and grazing her teeth against her pulse point, which
was racing.

Katerina's hands had found their way underneath Bella's shirt so that she
was rubbing the deliciously soft skin of Bella's back. She gently dug her
fingernails into the skin whenever Bella hit a particularly sweet spot and
moaned when she felt her teeth against her pulse. She wanted so much to
touch Bella more intimately, but was afraid that Bella would get upset.
However, after three months of waiting and warring with her hormones, that
night they finally won the battle.

Katerina slowly moved her right hand up Bella's bare side, gently tracing
her ribs when she felt them. She felt and heard Bella's breath hitch
slightly, but she never stopped kissing her neck. When she didn't hear or
feel her girlfriend try to stop her, Katerina moved forward. She nearly
gasped when she felt the bottom of Bella's bra and the swell of her breast.
Waiting only a few more seconds to give Bella a chance to stop her, Katerina
moved her hand up. She cupped the bra encased breast and gently massaged and
squeezed it. Bella gasped and her breathing became ragged as Katerina
lovingly caressed her. When Bella pulled away from Katerina's neck, the
older girl began lightly kissing and sucking her girlfriend's ear lobe,
which made Bella moan quietly. Katerina traced the lines in Bella's neck,
across her throat and up her neck. She eventually made her way to her lips
and they kissed passionately and hungrily.

Bella's mind was spinning and her body was in overdrive. She's never felt so
aroused in her whole life nor has she felt so good at the hands of someone
else. She used one hand to affectionately grabbed Katerina's neck to pull
her into a deeper kiss, while the other hand slowly rubbed up and down
Katerina's body. She really wanted to take off the older girl's shirt so she
could feel the smooth skin she knew was waiting beneath it, but, instead,
she pushed her hand underneath the raven haired girl's shirt. She marveled
at the smoothness and softness of Katerina. She wanted to taste every inch
of skin on her beautiful body.

Katerina felt Bella's hand on her bare skin and shuddered. She's never been
so attracted to someone; no one has ever been able to make her feel this way
before. She continued to massage her girlfriend's breast, but she wanted
more. Her hormones were greedy that night and they demanded skin on skin
contact. She decided to take a chance as her hand gently made its way
underneath the bothersome bra.
Thank God Bella hates wired bras. This makes it a lot easier Katerina
thought dimly in the back of her mind.

Bella felt her eyes slightly roll in the back of her head when she felt
Katerina cup her breast without a bra hindering her. She moaned into
Katerina's mouth. When she felt Katerina slightly tease her quick hardening
nipple, Bella pulled away gasping for air. She looked into Katerina's eyes
and saw lust, need, and love. Bella was barely aware of her actions. She was
sitting up and pulled Katerina with her. At first, Katerina thought she had
gone too far and was worried that Bella was upset. Those thoughts were soon
dismissed once Bella attacked her lips with renewed vigor. She was nipping
at her bottom lip with her teeth, forcing Katerina's lips open for her
tongue to push through. The older girl moaned at the sudden aggressiveness
Bella showed.

Bella straddled Katerina's hips and imbedded her fingers into the older
girl's hair. She pulled her close as she kissed her with passion that
Katerina hadn't seen before. Bella ground her hips into Katerina's, who
moaned as fire spread throughout her whole body. She slid both hands up
Bella's shirt to begin caressing her breasts again, only a bit more
aggressively than before.

Bella was nearly delirious with arousal. She only just had enough self
control to not take Katerina completely right then and there. She was about
to make a move towards Katerina's breasts herself when there was a knock on
the door.

"No," Katerina whispered. Her head fell back against the couch and her eyes
were squeezed shut, clearly distraught. The knocker rapped the door again.

"You should get that," Bella said as she moved off of her girlfriend. She
took several deep breaths and Katerina walked to the door, muttering
angrily. She opened it to find her elderly neighbor Eileen smiling at her.

"Hello, dear," she said.

"Eileen. Hi," Katerina greeted.

"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something, but I've seem to have misplaced my
key to my apartment and I need to call the locksmith," the older woman said.

"Yeah, sure. No problem. The phone is straight through the kitchen. I'll get
the phonebook for you," Katerina said, allowing the woman to come into her
apartment.

"Oh, you have company. I'm sorry to bother you," Eileen said, seeing Bella
on the couch, watching the end of the movie. She turned the TV and stood to
introduce herself.

"Hello, ma'am. My name is Bella. How are you doing?" Bella asked, smiling
politely.

"Nice to meet you, dear. My name is Eileen, Katerina's old and forgetful
neighbor," the woman replied, smiling as she shook her hand.

"It's no bother that you're here, Eileen," Katerina said.

"You're such a sweetheart, Katerina. Well, I won't be too long. Don't let me
get in the way," the woman said, taking the phonebook Katerina gave her with
the number marked.

"Take your time," the nineteen year old said. Eileen went into the kitchen.

"I should get going, Kat," Bella said.

"You sure? I mean, you can stay if you want," Katerina suggested.

"No, my mom will be wondering where I am soon, plus I have some homework to
finish.
I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"

"All right," Katerina said reluctantly. Bella put her shoes on and grabbed
her jacket.

"Bye, baby," Bella said with a quick, chaste kiss on her girlfriend's lips.

"Bye."

Bella started to leave, but Katerina grabbed her hand before she could make
it out the door.

"Look, I'm sorry if I went too far...you know, back there," Katerina
whispered. Bella smiled softly and raised her hand to stroke Katerina's
cheek.

"You did nothing wrong. I promise, I am anything but upset about that," the
younger girl replied. Katerina beamed.

"Good. Have a good night, Bella."

"You too, Kat."

One more soft kiss and Bella left Katerina alone with her elderly neighbor.




Author's Note:
I am sorry! that it took so long. I hate that I made you guys wait. However,
I think I will be updating much quicker, so yay!
I liked this chapter, although it's not my favorite. I've done a lot of
explaining in the past chapters and not so much physical moments between
Bella and Katerina.
Coming up soon: some drama happens at Bella's school and she does something
that has severe consequences at school, home, and with Katerina. Don't know
for sure if they will be in the next chapter, but they will happen over the
next few ones. Hope all is well and sorry again for the wait.
