ONE YEAR LATER
by Donal/Gold
Who's to say what love is. Love to one couple may be different to another couple. Where one couple will celebrate when things go right and will support each other when things go wrong, another couple may argue about all the little things in their relationship; they will argue when to turn off the TV, they may even argue just for the hell of it, to see if they can get their lover pissed off. Whatever the case may be, Love means different things to different people, regardless of age. The couple may be young teenagers who see things as they are and respect each other enough to offer their support to each other. Another couple the same age may take things on a day to day basis, wondering what the future will be like for them.
So it was for Sally, Beth, Stephanie and Lisa. Sally and Beth had been going together for over a year now and Stephanie and Lisa were coming up to the one year mark. Sure, Sally and Beth had their ups and downs in their relationship; like the time Beth was practicing for her first martial arts tournament since her and Sally had started seeing each other. Their "fight" was nothing more than two young ladies trying to sort out their personal feelings because the relationship was a first in their young lives. They finally made up with each other and ever since then, whenever they had issues, they talked them out, leading both of the girls to a more fulfilling relationship.
Over the course of the past year, Sally had grown about 1 inch and become a little curvier, making her even more beautiful if that was possible. Because of her relationship with Beth, her grades had steadily improved to a 3.5GPA and because Beth had made her part of her magic act, her reflexes had improved as well. Beth meanwhile, stayed at her six foot height with her "C" size breasts (that Sally absolutely loved to caress), and because she had been tutoring Sally, her own grades had improved to a 3.9GPA. When seen together, they were always laughing, kidding and holding hands. To the outsider, it would seem that they were two young ladies deeply in love with each other, but what the outsiders didn't know, is that even though the two girls had only known each other for a year, this coming year, their love would grow even deeper, surprising even them.
Meanwhile, Lisa and Stephanie seemed to have everything going for them. Of course, they also had their disagreements, but they never lasted longer than a few hours. There was the time when Sally finally found out that Lisa had been keeping Amber's secret that she was in a relationship with Mary. Sally was furious with Lisa but since Lisa had let Stephanie know about it some time ago, Stephanie supported her girlfriend by telling her sister that if she and Mary had talked everything out the way she and Beth did now, that she would have never gotten involved with Beth. Sally had apologized to Lisa and the incident was forgotten.
Over the course of the past year both Lisa and Stephanie grew up; not only in terms of their maturity and their relationship with one another, but also physically. Lisa had spurted up a couple of inches (she's now 5'6") and her breast size increased a cup size. She was now, according to Stephanie, a ravishing beauty. Stephanie herself grew a couple of inches (now at 5'1") and now stands only an inch shorter than her sister. Although shorter, she is just as beautiful as her sister. There are times when Lisa can not believe how lucky she got with a beautiful girlfriend like Stephanie. Although, Stephanie thinks exactly the same thing, she was always surprised by some of the things that Lisa had done for her over the past year; like the time Lisa surprised her for their one month anniversary and the time Lisa took her out to a restaurant (their 6 month anniversary) and gave her a beautiful necklace. Although, she was able to surprise Lisa a couple of times herself!
It was quickly coming up on their one year anniversary and Stephanie had been planning this for some time now. With her parents and Lisa's parents help, and with Sally and Beth, she was hoping to surprise Lisa. She knew it was going to be a tough one to pull off, because Lisa was expecting something, even though she already told her girlfriend that all she wanted to have was a nice dinner and a very private evening with her. Stephanie thought back to their one month anniversary where Lisa surprised her with a great dinner, followed by a very passionate evening together. She smiled inwardly and realized that over the last year together; she and Lisa had fallen so deeply in love with one another, that it took them both by surprise. They had proclaimed their love for each other so many times now; that they could make love to each other with their eyes closed and hit all of their hot spots on each body.
"Well Mom, do you think Lisa is going to be surprised?"
"If you didn't let the cat out of the bag she will. Is everything ready on your end sweetheart?"
"Yes it is. Mom, can I ask you something?"
"Sure honey."
"I know Lisa and I have been together for a year now, but it seems like we've know each other a lot longer than that. Why is that?"
"Well honey, when two people fall in love and discover that they have quite a bit in common like you two do, it's just natural that you tend to talk all of the time. You then come to discover that when you're apart, you're always thinking of the one that you love. It even tends to make simple things very difficult to do; like cooking and other things that you take for granted. You're even susceptible to crying when you're not around each other. You find that you miss each other, even though you just saw them a few minutes ago. You have that "ache" in your heart when you're apart. It was like that when your father and I started seeing each other. After the first month, when I didn't see your father everyday, I just about cried myself to sleep. Does that answer your question?"
"As a matter of fact it does Mom. Some of the things that you just said have actually happened to me; like the crying. After Lisa and I started seeing each other seriously, I would cry myself to sleep because I knew Lisa wasn't here with me, even though I knew I would still see her the next day. And you're right, whenever I'm not around her; I do have that "ache" in my heart."
"Stephanie, it seems that you and Lisa were destined to be together. Now, do you remember what has to be done tomorrow night?"
"Mom, please, we've been over it so much, that I can't forget. I just hope I don't slip up when I see her tonight."
"Don't worry honey. You'll be fine. Just concentrate on getting your homework done tonight and everything will take care of itself. Have a good time over Lisa's."
Before she left for Lisa's, there was one more thing she had to do; Stephanie called her sister who was over at Beth's "studying" for a math test, and hopefully, putting the final touches on for tomorrow night.
"Hello, Wilson residence." Beth answered.
"Hey Beth, how's everything going over there?"
"Hey there Stephanie. Your sister and I just finished up our study session for her Math test tomorrow and we were in the process of setting things up for you and Lisa."
"Now that's great! How about the candles, lighting and everything else, including Lisa's present?"
"Don't worry about anything Stephanie. Your sister and I have taken care of everything. We will be doing the serving so you and Lisa can talk or do whatever you want to. Just remember, when you see her tonight, act naturally. Don't say anything that would make her suspicious!"
"No problem Beth. Tell my sister thanks and that I will see her either later on when she comes home or tomorrow when we go to school."
"See you tomorrow Stephanie."
As Stephanie put the phone down, she was praying that she wouldn't say anything to Lisa that would make her suspicious.
Lisa was in her room waiting for Stephanie to show up so they could do their homework together. She had been daydreaming for the past few minutes about the past year that they had been together. It had been the best year of her life; meeting Stephanie unexpectedly over at Sally's after the soccer game where she had first met Sally and Beth; getting her first kiss from Stephanie and the unbelievable way it made her feel. And then the next time they met, it was to make love. Lisa still could not believe how fast she and Stephanie had fallen in love. Lisa figured it was just like her mom said; love at first sight. They still had their ups and downs like everyone else but it seemed that they made up a lot faster than anyone else she knew. She was hoping that she would always have Stephanie at her side, she didn't know if she could survive without her. Lisa was so deep in thought that she didn't hear her door open. She was very surprised when a pair of hands clasped over her eyes startling her.
"Guess who?"
"Let's see. Is it my secret lover, Cathy?"
Stephanie gasped but then realized what Lisa was doing to her. "It better not be Cathy or you will be in big trouble missy!" They both laughed.
Lisa turned around but kept Stephanie's arms around her neck and placed her hands on Stephanie's waist, leaned in, and gave her a very tender kiss.
"Hello beautiful, I've been waiting for you." Lisa said very quietly.
"I couldn't wait to get over here. Are we really going to study or kiss and make out all evening?"
"Actually, I do have to study for an upcoming History test. How about you, what do you have to study for?"
"I have an English test coming up on Monday so; I also have some studying to do. But first, I have some unfinished business to take care of."
With that said, Stephanie brought her lips back to Lisa's, gently pressed them together very tenderly. As they kissed, Lisa brought her tongue out and caressed Stephanie's lips with her tongue. Their mouths opened and they slipped their tongues inside of each other's mouth. After a while, they couldn't breathe, so they stopped, looked at each other, smiled and whispered I love you's to each other. Then they got down to the business of studying for their respective tests.
**
They had been finished studying for a while now and were in the process of sitting on Lisa's bed. That is to say, that Lisa was sitting on the edge of her bed with Stephanie in her lap facing Lisa with her legs wrapped around Lisa's waist. They were kissing very passionately with their tongues wrapped around each other. Stephanie's arms were wrapped around Lisa's neck and Lisa's arms were clasped firmly around Stephanie's waist, until she moved them down to Stephanie's ass, grasping it firmly so she wouldn't slip off of her lap. As their lips broke apart, they smiled at each other and with their lips only a couple of inches apart they could finally breathe.
"That was just incredible Lisa. I still can't believe that we've been together for almost a year now. I love you even more now than when we started going together if that's possible."
"I know what you mean Stephanie. Looking back, I still can't believe that I ever dated boys. After being with you, there will never be anyone else in my life." Lisa said, her voice filled with love.
"The same goes for me. Right now I don't think I could live without you Lisa. You mean everything to me; you're my best friend, my girlfriend and lover. If we were old enough, I would ask you to marry me but since we're not, I will settle for just being with you as much as possible." Stephanie said with a tears starting to leak from her eyes.
Lisa looked at her girlfriend with surprise. She had been thinking those same thoughts right before Stephanie had shown up. She reached up and tenderly wiped away the tears that were rolling down Stephanie's face. "I love you so very much Stephanie. Before you walked in earlier, I was thinking the exact same thing." She smiled and started kissing Stephanie's face where the tears were. As she continued to kiss Stephanie's tears away, Lisa started crying herself. They pulled apart a few inches, looked at each other with love in both of their eyes, and knew that they would never part.
As they calmed down from their kissing session, they laid down together on Lisa's bed. Stephanie was resting her head on Lisa's chest and they were reveling in the closeness of each other. Although they had all of their clothes on, if felt as if they had just made love. Stephanie was thinking of tomorrow night and how she would pull this off, but with her sister and Beth helping out, she shouldn't have any problems. At the time Stephanie was thinking of tomorrow evening, Lisa was thinking about tomorrow evening also. She was hoping that her and Stephanie would be alone all night. It would be the perfect anniversary for the both of them.
They were laying there just holding each other when Lisa looked over at her clock. "Oh my God Stephanie, it's almost 9:00! Do you realize that we've been laying here for almost one and one half hours?"
Stephanie groaned a little and sat up next to Lisa, "I guess it's just about time for me to leave for the evening." She looked over at Lisa and noticed some tears forming in her eyes. "Lisa, what's wrong sweetheart?"
"I don't want you to go. I know it's silly because we will be together tomorrow night, but I just want to be with you all of the time. Doesn't that sound silly?"
"No, as a matter of fact it doesn't. It's the way I feel too. I don't want to leave you." Stephanie said as her eyes started tearing up.
"Lisa, I talked to my Mother earlier and she told me that what we are going through is normal for two people deeply in love. She told me that when she started going with my Dad and when they would separate just for the evening, she would start to cry even though she knew they would be seeing each other the next day."
"Really...well, I'm glad to hear that. Besides, we will be together tomorrow. Remember, it's our one year anniversary. Beth wanted us to come over tomorrow before we went out. Does that sound good to you?"
"Did she say what she wanted?"
"No, not really. But my guess would be that she wanted to wish us a Happy Anniversary, which would be fine with me just so long as we can get out of there quickly so we can be alone the rest of the night."
"I'm with you Stephanie. I want to be with you and only you tomorrow night. My parents already gave me permission to stay with you the entire weekend. How about yours?"
"Mine gave me permission as well. I can't wait for tomorrow night."
With that, Lisa walked Stephanie to the front door, and they gave each other a very tender loving kiss. Lisa watched Stephanie walk home and couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Lisa knew that they would be together for the weekend but she couldn't help it. She loved Stephanie with all of her heart and missed her whenever they couldn't be together. Her mother had been watching her from the doorway of the kitchen and when she saw her daughter start to cry, she came up behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"Lisa, please stop crying. You'll be together again tomorrow night and for the weekend. I know how much you love Stephanie, and that it hurts not being with her. I'm sure she's going through the same thing you are."
"You're right Mom, but I can't help it. sniff. Stephanie told me the same thing has been happening to her. She also told me that her mother talked to her about it and told her the same thing happened to her when she fell in love. Did it happen to you?"
"As a matter, it did sweetheart. It happened first with Judy, then with your father. I found myself crying all of the time. I think it happens with everyone that falls in love. If you're starting to feel better, why don't you take a shower before you go to bed?"
"Okay mom and thanks."
Lisa went upstairs to her room, undressed and took a shower before getting into bed. When she came out of the bathroom, she did feel better but was still unhappy that she and Stephanie had to part every night. She was looking forward to tomorrow night and the weekend. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light and dreaming about her and Stephanie.
The sound of the alarm woke Lisa up with a start. She started cursing to herself but then remembered today was Friday and tonight was THE night that her and Stephanie would be celebrating their anniversary. She started getting ready for school and heard her mother from the stairway, "Lisa, you better hurry if you want breakfast."
"I'll be down in a few minutes Mom."
She came down the stairs 10 minutes later all ready to go. Her mother had some pancakes ready for her and some orange juice. "Well, I see that you're feeling better today honey."
"I sure am Mom. It's Friday, the end of the school week, plus tonight is the night that Stephanie and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary. Do you think I should bring Stephanie's present with me or wait till I get home?"
"Can I ask you a question honey? What would happen if you did bring Stephanie's present with you and then lost it at school? What would you do then?"
Lisa's eyes widened when her mom said that. "You're right Mom; I'll leave it at home. Do you think she'll like what I got for her?"
"Lisa, I think Stephanie will love what you got for her. Can I see it one more time before I take you to school?"
"Sure Mom." Lisa opened the small box that contained the ring that she bought for Stephanie. It was not a big ring but it contained a small diamond in it. Around the diamond was a bunch of small aquamarine crystals that signified Stephanie's birth month, which was March. It was a very beautiful ring that Lisa had saved up for. It also had an inscription on the underside of the ring. It read "To my one true love who I will always love forever."
"Oh honey, she will absolutely love this. Let me have it and I will put it right here in this cupboard. You can get it after you come home from school today. Alright, let's get this mess cleaned up and get you to school."
Lisa's Mom dropped her off at the front of the school and as she went inside, Amber was waiting for her.
*** While Stephanie was getting ready for school, she was thinking about the dinner tonight and the after dinner preparations. Her thoughts were interrupted by her sister coming into her room. "Hey sis, just wanted to let you know that everything is ready over at Beth's. Beth's mom, Lisa's mom and our mom are going to be over there today finishing up. Can I see Lisa's present again?"
"Sure sis, let me get it." Stephanie went over to her desk and opened her top drawer. She pulled out a small ring box that contained a very beautiful turquoise ring. It was Lisa's birthstone month, which was December. She had been saving up for this particular present for months. Stephanie also had an inscription on the inside of the ring. It read "To my beautiful love, with all my heart."
"Stephanie, it's a very beautiful ring. Lisa will love it. Come on, let's go downstairs and get some breakfast before we head out to school."
As Lisa entered the school, she noticed that Amber was waiting for her at the entrance. Lisa knew why she was there and was smiling when Amber came up to her and hugged her. "Happy Anniversary Lisa. I just wanted to let you know how happy I am for you. I still can't believe it's been a year since you and Stephanie started going together. Mary and I passed our one year a month ago and we're still in love with each other."
"I know, it's really amazing. I still remember when we met in the hallway and you told me that you were a Lesbian. And then I told you that I was seeing a girl and blew your mind. Now look at us; we are still dating the same people a year later. Don't you just love it?"
"Yes I do Lisa. By the way, what are you two going to be doing tonight?"
"Well, Stephanie and I are going to stop by Beth's because from what Stephanie tells me, she wants to wish us a Happy Anniversary. Other than that, I have no idea that is unless our parents have something up their sleeve."
"For our one year, Mary's parents made a dinner reservation for us at The Four Seasons restaurant down in the city. It was the most romantic evening in my life. Afterwards, Mary and I spent the whole weekend together in each other's arms. It was just wonderful." Amber was smiling so wide that Lisa thought her face would crack.
"I think we should be heading to class before we get a tardy slip."
The two girls then went to their first period and just got to it right before the bell rang.
Right after her first period, Stephanie was walking down the hall not noticing too much and just about ran into her sister and Beth. She looked up at them and noticed that they were giving her a thumbs up. "Hey you two, what's up?"
"We just wanted you to know that everything is ready over at my house, Stephanie." Beth said smiling.
"When you and Lisa come over, try to stay calm. Okay Steph?" Her sister told her.
"Don't worry Sally. I just got done with my History test and I believe I aced it. Now I can start to worry about tonight. Do you think Lisa has any idea about tonight?"
"No, I don't think she does. Just be careful though." Sally said with a slight smirk on her face.
All three girls then traipsed off to their next class.
*** The day finally ended, and with it the school week. Lisa came bounding down the stairs of the school. She was so excited about tonight and this weekend that she made it home in record time. As she entered the house, her mother was very surprised to see her home so soon. "You must be very excited about tonight honey. You made it home very quickly today. Why don't you go get washed up and ready for when Stephanie calls."
"Okay mom.
Lisa went up the stairs and entered her room. As soon as she opened her door, she was amazed at what she saw. Hanging up on a hanger was a new dress; it was a black dress that came about an inch above her knees. Hanging on top of it was a Lavender top that had a frill around the neck and the front of it, dipped down so when she put it on, would show a little bit of cleavage. She was busy running her hands through the dress and the top and still couldn't believe her mother would have bought this for her. She wasn't paying too much attention when her door opened and her mother walked in. "Do you like the new outfit sweetheart?"
Lisa threw herself into her mothers' arms, "I love you Mom and yes, I love it very much."
"Well, we figured since it was your one year anniversary and a little special to you, your father and I got you a new dress to wear tonight. You should get ready now. We will be picking up Stephanie within the hour."
"What do you mean picking up Stephanie?"
"Well, we just can't have the both of you walking over to Beth's before you go out in those gorgeous outfits, now can we? Besides, the place that we are taking you requires you to be dressed up, and no, I am not telling where this place is."
"Okay mom. Let me get ready then we can pick up Stephanie."
Stephanie and Sally got home from school fairly early themselves; their mother pulled Sally aside as they entered the house. Stephanie continued upstairs. "Everything is ready for your sister and Lisa, honey. Stay down here for a moment and listen for your sister."
While Sally and her Mom were talking downstairs, Stephanie went up to her room to get ready for the evening and the weekend. As she walked into her room her mouth dropped when she saw what was waiting for her. On her bed was a new skirt; light tan color with a slit on the right side and laying just above that was a new blouse to go with it. The blouse was a brown that matched her complexion perfectly. She couldn't believe it and she screamed with happiness.
Downstairs Sally heard her sister scream and asked her Mom what happened. "We got your sister a new outfit for tonight just like we got you for your one year anniversary." Her mother started walking up towards Stephanie's room.
As Stephanie's mother walked through the door, her daughter threw herself into her arms. "Thank you Mom. I love you very much."
"Your father and I got this new outfit for you just for tonight, sweetie. Now, get ready for Lisa and her parents to pick you up."
"What do you mean pick me up, Mom? I thought Lisa and I were going over to Beth's for the special evening that I had planned?"
"It's still going to be that way but we can't have you girls walking around the neighborhood in those gorgeous outfits that we got for you, now can we?"
"Okay Mom. Let me take a shower and get ready for this weekend."
As Lisa came down the stairs, her mother gasped. Her daughter was beautiful; the new outfit that she was wearing highlighted her brown hair and Blue eyes perfectly. The dip in the blouse just showed a little cleavage but what amazed her mother, was how mature Lisa looked. Her "Little Girl" had grown up. "Honey, you're really a beautiful young lady. I still can't believe how much you've grown in the past year. Stephanie is sure one lucky lady."
Her father had just come up from the family room and when he saw his daughter, his jaw dropped. He had never seen his daughter look this beautiful before.
"I love you too Dad. It's a great compliment for a young lady to get that kind of response from a gentleman such as you."
"Thank you sweetheart. Between you and your mother, I am standing in front 1of the two most beautiful women in the world."
Lisa and her mother just beamed at the compliment. "Well honey, are you ready to go pick Stephanie up?"
"I'm all ready to go. A little nervous but ready."
Stephanie was taking one last look in her mirror checking her makeup, which was minimal because of her natural complexion. She checked over the new outfit again and marveled at how well it fit her. Her blonde hair which came down a little below her shoulders glistened against the blouse. The slit on the side of the dress was just enough to show enough of her legs to make Lisa drool tonight. Stephanie got Lisa's present out of her desk and checking herself one last time, closed the door and came downstairs.
Her parents were waiting for her to come downstairs (Sally was already at Beth's) and when she came down, both of them just stared at her in awe. Her mother realized right there that even though she was just a tad shorter than Sally; she was just as beautiful as her older sister. "Stephanie, you have really turned into a beautiful young lady. You may only be 15 but you definitely do not look like it at this moment. Lisa is one lucky lady."
"Thanks mom. I still can't believe what you and Dad have done for me over the past year. I love you both very much."
Stephanie was hugging her parents when she heard a car horn blow out front. "Well, I guess it's time to go. I guess Beth's parents will be bringing us back a little later so we can spend the weekend together. Wish me luck."
"Stephanie, with you and Lisa you will not need any luck. Have fun and we will see you either later or tomorrow morning."
As Stephanie came out of the front door, Lisa got out of the car to hold the door open for her. As they looked at each other, they just stared in wonder and awe. Lisa thought that she was looking at the most beautiful girl on the face of the earth but Stephanie was thinking the same thing. As Stephanie moved toward Lisa and the car, she started smiling and as she moved closer to Lisa, she kissed her very tenderly so not to smear any lipstick or makeup.
Lisa's parents looked at the two of them in the backseat and smiled at them while the two of them were holding hands. "You young ladies look absolutely stunning tonight. I sure hope you enjoy the evening." Lisa's father said smiling.
"Dad, where are you taking us tonight?"
"I'm sorry honey but that's a secret. First though, we're taking you over Beth's so she can see what the two of you look like."
While Lisa was asking her father where they were going, Stephanie was hiding a smile that was trying to creep onto her face.
They pulled up to Beth's house a few minutes later. As the girls got out of the car Lisa's parents gave Stephanie a big smile and a wink. Stephanie looked at them and mouthed a thank you to them.
They both walked up to the door and rang the door bell. When the door opened, Lisa gasped at who opened it. It was Sally and she was wearing an outfit appropriate for a hostess at a fine restaurant. "Good evening ladies. We have been expecting you. Will you please come in and be seated." Sally said formally.
"Stephanie, what's going on?"
"I've been planning this for weeks now. I had all the parents, along with my sister and Beth helping me out. That was the only way I could surprise you. Come on, let's go sit down."
As the girls went into the house, Lisa's parents pulled out of the driveway and went back home to have their own romantic evening.
As Sally led the two girls over to the dinner table, Lisa was amazed at what she saw. There were candles lit a various locations, giving the dining room a very romantic atmosphere. As they sat down, Beth came out of the kitchen dressed in what was considered appropriate for a waitress. "Good evening ladies and how are you doing this evening?"
"We are doing well, thank you." Stephanie answered.
"What would you ladies like to drink?"
"I believe Lisa would like a Diet Coke and I would like a Seven Up please."
"Very well, I will be right back with your drinks."
Lisa looked over at Stephanie and smiled. "You really did surprise me this time, sweetheart." With that, Lisa took Stephanie's left hand in hers, caressed it and entwined her fingers with Stephanie's.
Beth came back out with the drinks. "Here are your drinks ladies. Dinner will be out shortly but first, I will bring out the salads."
Beth came out in short order with a couple of Caesar salads. "I hope you ladies like the salads. Dinner will be Chicken Parmesan on top of linguini followed by Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert."
"Stephanie, you went all out for me didn't you?"
"Actually Lisa, I went all out for us." Stephanie said quietly.
In the background, you could hear Frank Sinatra singing "Strangers in the Night" as quietly as possible to give the dinner some "atmosphere."
Lisa and Stephanie ate their salads and as they were finishing up, Beth and Sally were bringing in the main course. They set the main dish in front of the two girls and refilled their drinks. "Ladies, I hope you enjoy your meal. We will be back when you are done with the main meal, so we can clean the table and bring you your dessert." Beth told them.
As Lisa and Stephanie were eating their meal, they started reminiscing about the past year; how they met, how they felt about each other and what they thought the future might have in store for them. They talked about school, movies, music, friends, whatever caught their fancy. As they were finishing up the main meal, they looked at each other smiled, leaned in and gave each other a tender kiss meant to convey love instead passion. It was at this time Sally and Beth came out. "Ladies, I hope you enjoyed the meal." Beth asked them.
"It was delicious, Beth. Thank you for your help this evening." Stephanie told her with a big smile.
"Thank you very much. But there is still the dessert to come." Beth and Sally cleared the table of the main dish and when they were done, they brought out the Strawberry Cheesecake. "When you are done, you don't need to call us. We will be back to clean up, so just enjoy yourselves." Beth told them.
"Beth, I just wanted to thank you and my sister for all of your help tonight. I really do appreciate it." Stephanie said with a grateful smile.
"You're welcome Stephanie. You and Lisa have a great weekend."
As the girls attacked their dessert, Lisa was wondering what else Stephanie had in store for her tonight. As they finished their dessert, Stephanie got up and moved behind Lisa. She moved her chair back so that Lisa could get up easily and when Lisa got up; Stephanie took her hand, looked at her and gave her hand a tender kiss. "Come with me." Stephanie said quietly.
Stephanie led Lisa downstairs to the family room. Lisa looked around amazed; there was a small table setup with two chairs at it. The lighting was low and romantic and the music that was playing was romantic; a mixture of old R & B, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and others. On the table was Lisa's present. Lisa slowly walked over to it and picked it up. "It's for you baby." Stephanie said very quietly.
Lisa picked up the box and looked at it. She then looked at Stephanie, then back to the box. She started unwrapping it; inside the box was small jewelry case. She opened the case and saw the ring. Her eyes widened and started to tear up. Stephanie came over to her, "Can I put the ring on for you?" Lisa looked up with tears in her eyes, "Yes please." Stephanie then slipped the ring on the fourth finger of Lisa's left hand. "I promise you that we will be together always Lisa." Lisa then hugged Stephanie tightly and whispered "I Love You."
As they got finished hugging each other, Lisa looked at Stephanie and said, "It's your turn now." She then handed Stephanie her present. Stephanie looked at Lisa with so much love, her eyes started to tear up. Stephanie started unwrapping her present and when she got down to the case, she was shaking with excitement. As she opened the case revealing the ring, she couldn't believe her eyes and she started crying. Lisa walked over to her and hugged her tightly and whispered into her ear, "May I place the ring on your finger for you?"
Stephanie looked up at Lisa, "Oh please, I want you to so much."
With that, Lisa took the ring and placed it on the fourth finger of Stephanie's left hand, "I promise you that I will always be there for you Stephanie." With that, both girls just hugged each other tightly.
They broke apart and gave each other a very light tender kiss. "Lisa, let's dance."
Lisa walked over to Stephanie, wrapped her arms around Stephanie's waist and pulled her close. As they started dancing, Stephanie laid her head down on Lisa's shoulder and just sighed with pleasure. As the girls danced, they got closer to each other. As the music ended, they looked at each other and started kissing. Their kissing became more and more passionate. Their arms were getting tighter around each other and they were sucking on each others tongues very hard.
They stopped kissing for a moment and looked at each. "We need to stop for right now Lisa. Beth's parents are going to be taking us back to my house where we can spend the whole weekend in each others arms. Okay?"
Lisa looked at Stephanie, smiled and gave her a light kiss, "That's exactly what I wanted to hear."
After a few moments, they heard Beth's parents come in the front door and then Beth's mom came downstairs. "Well, are you ladies ready to go?"
"As a matter of fact, we are Mrs. Wilson." Stephanie said smiling.
As the girls piled into the car, they were both thinking to themselves how lucky each of them was to have found the love of their life.
A few minutes later, they were pulling up to Stephanie's house. "Thank you for the ride back. We really appreciate it." Lisa said to Beth's parents.
"No problem sweetheart. You two young ladies have a very nice weekend and congratulations on your one year anniversary. You two look so happy together." Beth's mom said smiling.
Both of the girls looked at Beth's parents and blushed.
They walked into the house holding hands and when they crossed the doorway, Lisa turned around, slipped her arms around Stephanie's waist and pulled her into a very passionate embrace. As they broke apart, both girls looked into each other's eyes and smiled. They turned around and walked up the stairs to Stephanie's room and closed the door behind them. The loving was slow, all consuming, passionate, tender and lasted all weekend.
I would like to thank Donal and Craig for waiting for this newest chapter to be finished. This chapter was meant to convey love instead of sex and I am hoping that I did just that. Gold
