Emma yawned for the third time in five minutes.
"Baby, are you sure you don't want to take a nap before we head to Ava's?" Olivia asked again.
"I'm fine, I promise," Emma reassured her girlfriend, but lazily slung her hand over the taller girl's shoulder.
It was a request for Olivia to pick her up and take her to the room.
Gladly obliging, Olivia placed her hands securely on Emma's waist and picked her up. The younger girl wrapped her legs around Olivia's torso and nuzzled her face in her neck.
"You smell good," she mumbled, breath sending shivers down Olivia's spine.
"You stink," Olivia countered, scrunching her nose.
That sure woke Emma up.
"Excuse me?"
Olivia chuckled. "I'm kidding, baby. You always smell good," she gave her girlfriend a kiss on the cheek. "But we should still go take a shower,"
Emma nodded her head in agreement. "How about a bath? We've got time,"
Olivia looked at the clock. Emma was right, they did have time.
Emma's parents and sister were out anyway; so they'd have all the privacy they need.
She nodded enthusiastically.
"Let's go," Emma spoke in the sleepiest singsong voice she could muster.
Olivia carried her up the stairs and into Emma's room, where she plopped Emma onto the bed.
"I'll set the bath," the green-eyed-girl said, making her way to the adjacent connecting bathroom.
Emma took this as her cue to pick their outfits for the evening, which she gladly obliged.
It didn't take long; she knew very well what he girlfriend liked to wear and what looked good on her. It was a piece of cake.
"Babe, you ready?" Olivia called from the bathroom.
"Mhmm," Emma replied simply and walked over to meet her already naked girlfriend in the small confines of the bathroom.
"Hi," she breathed out, looking at the beauty that stood leaning against the sink.
"Hi," Olivia chuckled. "You gonna join me?" she said, getting into the bathtub and letting out a soothing sigh as the warm water touched her skin.
Olivia had prepared a simple bubble bath; nothing too fancy. They had some time, but not a lot of it, after all.
Emma stripped out of her clothes and joined her girlfriend in the bathtub.
As much as she was embarrassed to say it, the water didn't feel as good against her skin as her girlfriend did.
The skin-on-skin contact did wonders to her thoughts, but she brushed those aside.
'Anyone who knows how lesbian sex works knows that we haven't got enough time,' she scolded herself mentally.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Olivia asked, running her fingers up and down Emma's arm.
"No thank you," Emma replied a little too quickly.
Olivia chuckled. "No?"
"I have enough pennies," Emma said in an attempt to salvage the situation.
She failed miserably.
Olivia burst out laughing. "I can't tell if it's the bath or the lack of sleep, but you're saying some weird things my love,"
"Probably both," the younger brunette admitted. She turned slightly to kiss Olivia, to which her girlfriend graciously obliged.
"Mmm," Olivia moaned into the kiss.
"I was just thinking about how nice it'd be to run a bath and...fuck you," Emma pulled away, sharing her momentary thoughts.
"Bold, aren't you?" Olivia kneaded Emma's nipples between her fingers as the younger let out a sigh of relief.
It felt good.
"Tell you what," Olivia shifted in her place so she was sitting up straight. "After the party," she kissed Emma's collarbone.
The younger girl instinctively tilted her head to allow Olivia more access.
"We draw a milk bath,"
Another kiss. A soft moan escapes Emma's lips.
"I'll give you a massage after,"
"Really?" Emma opened her eyes.
"Babe! You're ruining my moment," Olivia pouted.
Emma laughed. "Right, sorry," she closed her eyes again.
"And we could...maybe fuck all night,"
Emma silently said thanks for the fact that they were already naked and in a bathtub as she felt wetness pool between her legs.
"Or...you know," Olivia shrugged. "Just a couple of rounds since you definitely need to sleep,"
It was cute how Olivia took care of her; even without Emma's asking.
She was always too cautious when it came to caring for the younger girl; down to the very last detail.
Emma absolutely loved it. It was a nice change from Austin, who only cared about himself and his sports career.
Yuck.
Anyway...
"That sounds lovely," Emma planted kisses all over Olivia's face. "I love you," she held onto her girlfriend's face, looking at her with all seriousness in her eyes.
"I love you too, baby,"
•••
It wasn't long before they were ready to leave the house, since Emma had prepared everything before she stepped into the bath earlier.
"I think we've got everything," Emma said, checking the contents of her bag.
"Stop worrying," Olivia reassured her, holding up two cartons of beer. "Pretty sure this is all Ava's looking forward to,"
Emma laughed.
Well, Olivia wasn't wrong.
Although Seth and Ava were out getting food and drinks for the party, Emma and Olivia felt it was only reasonable that they brought something along too.
Seeing as how much Ava enjoyed drinking beer, they thought it was only applicable to bring it to a party; well, probably the biggest party of the school year.
"Okay," Emma nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go,"
Once in the car, Olivia put the key in the ignition and sighed as the engine roared to life.
"You do that a lot," Emma noted as Olivia backed out of the driveway.
"Do what?" Olivia asked, oblivious to what her girlfriend was talking about.
"Every time we go anywhere that requires a
car," Emma explained. "You sigh when you start the engine,"
Olivia chuckled. "I like cars," she said simply.
"I think like is an understatement,"
"You don't like it?" Olivia asked, referring to the little tic she didn't realise she had up till now.
"No, it's not that," Emma shook her head quickly. "I think it's absolutely adorable,"
She interlaced her fingers with Olivia's free hand that sat on the gearshift.
