Narrator’s pov

Cytheria awoke to the steady patter of rain upon the window, droplets yet to scatter the nascent rays of rising sun. The sound brought a calmness to her mind, a soothing melody, a natural lullaby. The girl smiled and glanced at the naked girl under her.
Veins ran like connected rivers across her pale skin. She was fair, almost like a porcelain doll, yet she did hold some color. When she got terribly cold her exposed skin took on the appearance of a subway map.
In the twilight her skin was honeyed. Cytheria allowed her eyes to roam over her girlfriend’s chest, loving the way her breathing was stable, her chest would rise and fall so heavenly. The girl was at peace in her sleep, not caring for the world she lived in.
Her eyes left Luna’s chest and travelled to the muscle tone in her arms. As her gaze rises to take in the face that soothes been, she saw her eyes, their hue matching the newly fallen leaves in the park.
“You checking me out Ms Jones?” The brown hair girl smirked
“Maybe” Cytheria giggled, causing a bright smile to appear on Luna’s lips
Her hands fell into Luna’s, she love the way the girl smiled, so gentle, understated. Then in an instant they were closer than as Luna pulled her girlfriend towards her chest, their body heat combined like their emotions – as if they are painted into the air about them
The covers over their bodies blocked out any view of their naked flesh pressed against each other, the blonde nuzzled her face in the side of Luna’s neck as her fingertips rolled small circles against the girl’s collar bone, feeling the purple mark she had previously left with her teeth.
There was something about their moment that felt right. Something that clicked perfectly. Cytheria wondered how was it that her love for luna travelled from her heart into her blood? That it flowed through the skin that touches hers. It was that she love the girl’s mind, her soul, that made her body connection explosive beyond reason.
It was there in everything they did, everything they said, even in their silences.
With eyes at rest she felt her centre, live happily within herself for these blessed moments of solitude. She drifted on calm seas, aimless as a child on summer vacation, paddling, at ease with the fluidity of time.
Soon she returned to the moment, the song of the rain became as fusion, birds bringing sweet high notes although it was pouring rain outside.
In her mind’s eyes she was with them, singing upon the roof tops, filling her lungs with fresh air, watching the world come into focus.
“Good Morning” Luna muttered in a low voice
“Good Morning” Cytheria whispered against the girl’s skin
Luna loved their cuddles, it felt like a little touch of heaven, warm, together, cozy. She wished it could extend the night just so she could stay close to her girlfriend for longer, safe in her embrace. Her arms wrapped right around her brought a peace she’s never known before, a calming of the storms in her heart.
Luna thought it was Cytheria that gave her hope for the future. In her embrace she started to believe that there was nothing out there to fear, that all there is is sunshine, beautiful trees and kind people.
“You look so beautiful” Luna whispered as she brushed her knuckles against the girl’s soft cheek, seeing them turn a shade of red
“You’re breathtaking” Cytheria mumbled as she propped her chin on the girl’s chest
Their green eyes stared into each other. Cytheria saw in her girlfriend’s eyes that day in the sunshine, waiting for the crossing to turn green. She saw the love that burned there too, the sort that goes for an eternity.
There was something in her spirit that danced when she played, like a fire giving just the right amount of warmth. She had seen it die too, the flames almost extinguished, when Luna was under the gun of guilt, shame and fear, especially when the dreams of her past would appear again.
She knew it was the weakest part of the girl. To see everyone you’ve ever loved, almost die before your eyes had messed with her mind and she knew Luna was never the same after that. But she loved her. She loved every single flaw and insecurities of her girlfriend.
Cytheria knew that wasn’t Luna, not the real version, the person she loved with everything that was herself. That’s why she had to see in her eyes, to see the real Luna hidden behind those green curtains of pains.
“Can we stay like this all day” Luna groaned
“Not unless we move our jobs in here” Cytheria chuckled
“Fuck jobs, I just want to do you” Luna whispered
“You’re tempting.. And cute, but no” the blonde giggled
“Oh come on, you’re really leaving me alone in here because you need to work?” Luna pouted
“Yes. Yes I am” Cytheria smiled and pressed her lips against the girl’s collar bone
“Don’t kiss me, you hurt my heart” Luna pouted
The blonde giggled and pressed her lips against Luna’s collar bone again
“Staaapp” Luna laughed when Cytheria started to place kisses leading up the girl’s neck
“AH SAID STAP”
“nO” Cytheria giggled when her lips reached Luna’s jaw, pressing hard and feeling the girl squirm under her
“You betrayed me” Luna pouted
“I have things to dooo” Cytheria giggled and propped herself up, wrapping the sheets around her body as she stood besides the bed
“Can I come see you later?” Luna asked
“Of course” Cytheria smiled and leaned down to place a kiss on her girlfriend’s cheek
“Will everyone be over there too?”
“I’m not sure, I could ask them to if you’d like” The blonde said as she ran her fingers through her hair, pulling it into a high bun
“I’ll tell them about our little trip, maybe they’ll want to come along” She chuckled
“Are you kidding? Gays in hell with a bomb ass father figure? Fuck yeah they’re going” Cytheria chuckled as she grabbed her towel
“Are you hungry?” Luna asked as she started to slip into some clothes, dragging an oversized shirt over her head
“I am. Do you need any help cooking?” Cytheria yelled from the bathroom
“Nope. Get ready, I’ll be downstairs” Luna smiled and walked over towards the bathroom door
Her head poked through the door and saw her girlfriend’s naked body pressed against the wall of the shower, allowing the clear liquid to flown down her body
“What are you doing step sis?” Cytheria snickered
“mOm sAid tO cHeCk oN yOu” Luna laughed
“You want to join me?” Cytheria smirked as she bit down on her bottom lip, running her shampoo hands through her hair
“I’d love to. But I have to make sure my baby girl is fed and ready to start her day” Luna chuckled
It was in that moment, the girl felt a deep red burn come across her cheek.
“You’re so fucking sweet, oh my god” Cytheria smiled
“Now hurry up and get outta there so I can kiss you” Luna chuckled
“Or you could kiss me right now” The blonde teased
Luna tilted her head to the side and held a smirk, the blonde bit her lip as she wiggled her finger back and forth, taunting the girl
She chuckled and walked closer to her girlfriend in the shower, steam of the hot water clouded the marbled floor. Luna’s hands pressed against the side of the wall and leaned closer to her girlfriend who was soaked
Her eyes travelled down the girl’s body, running over the wet skin of her pale body, the way her hair flowed over her back and allowed the water to fall like a pipe. She stared the girl’s hardened nipples before returning her gaze to her eyes. She held a smirk and leaned her lips near, her hot breath lingering against the girl’s mouth
“I won’t give you the satisfaction” Luna smirked before pulling away, leaving Cytheria’s face dumbfounded
“How dare you!” She squealed
“Sorry babe” Luna chuckled and headed out the bathroom
The girl happily hopped down the stairs, making her way into the kitchen
“Now what do we cook buddy?” Luna asked as she glanced at the Siberian husky that wagged his brown and white tail, his tongue happily drooling out the side of his mouth
“Baccon it is” She chuckled and made her way towards the fridge door, pulling out the meat along with oil and a few other ingredients
“Ya know, we’ve never actually been introduced” Luna said as she glanced at the dog
Buddy tilted his head to the side with his tongue still hanging out, Luna smiled sweetly as the dog seeming as if he understood what she was saying
“I’m Luna. Luna Amon, I’ve haven’t been around for a while but now I’m here to stay” She smiled and sliced the knife through the pork
The dog made his way closer towards the girl’s feet, brushing his tail against her
“From what I heard, you’ve actually been in training for the year that I knew Cytheria, that’s why you were never in the book” Luna smiled as she continued to cut the meat
“Can you put the toilet seat down next time when you use it?” Luna asked
The dog then barked, alerting the demon that he understood what she said. The girl laughed and shook her head
“You hungry?” She asked
The dogs tail started to wag more speed, mentally telling the girl yes
“Well hop up on the stool, I’ll get you something” She chuckled
The dog then aimed his head towards the stool around the kitchen island, he aimed his body upwards and leaped onto the stool, sitting firmly in the chair
“You’re very polite, I like you” She chuckled
The dog then barked and placed one paw on the kitchen island
“Ah yes. It’s nice to meet you too buddy” Luna chuckled as she shook the dogs paw
“So, you like meat or packaged shit?” She asked as both her hands held the varietes of food
The dog then barked and flicked his paw in the direction of the meat
“Yeah, I thought so too” She chuckled and handed the dog his food then went to wash her hands
The girl threw a few slices of bacon into hot oil, allowing it to cook and turn a slight shade of brown. She also threw a few sausages into a small pan and mixed it with celery, onions and garlic tapped with a pinch of salt. She then threw some water onto the pan and covered it quickly, avoiding the pitching oil.
She allowed the sausage to steam while she quickly pulled some toast from the toaster and rested it on the plate, covering it with a light coat of butter
“Should we do eggs?” She asked the dog
Buddy then barked, causing Luna to chuckle
“You’re right, she’s been eating cardboard for too long. She needs everything right now” Luna chuckled and cracked am egg into the skillet
“It smells amazing in here” Cytheria smiled as she walked into the kitchen
“Thank ya, I pride myself in making you the best greasy food you could find” Luna chuckled
Her eyes then travelled down her girlfriend’s body, Cytheria had on a black choker around her neck, with a bright yellow cropped sweater with sky blue high wasted jeans, topped with yellow heels, she hadn’t applied any makeup but her hair was pulled into a braided bun
“Wow” Luna whispered when her eyes landed on her girlfriend
“Stoopp you’re gonna make me blush” Cytheria giggled
“If that’s what I’ll be waking up to everyday then sign me the fuck up” Luna mumbled as she slipped the food onto a plate
“You’re really sweet” Cytheria pouted
“My God. Look at you” Luna said in disbelief as she ran her eyes over her girlfriend again, taking a step back to take in the girl’s appearance again
“Oh my God. Babe!” Cytheria blushed deeply, using her palms to cover her face
“Doesn’t she look good Buddy?” Luna asked the dog who barked in response
Cytheria’s head tilted backwards as she allowed her laugh to echo through the walls of the kitchen
“See. Even buddy knows what’s up” Luna smirked
“You are incredibly sweet and I melt everytime you look at me” Cytheria grinned
“You make me feel like a puddle everytime you smile” Luna mumbled and she came closer to her girlfriend
“Really?” Cytheria giggled
“Really baby”
