November 2008
After helping her mom put away what leftovers they had as her brothers and their families all took stuff home with them too, Avery left the kitchen tiredly after telling both of her parents good night.
Retreating upstairs and almost wanting to call it a night but as she passed Jessica’s room on the way to her own she came to a stop at the door which was open. Spying both Jessica and Zoe sitting on Jessica’s bed and watching a Christmas movie already.
“Really?” Avery asked them with an amused smirk. “It’s not even midnight yet and you’ve already broke out the Christmas movies?”
Jessica turned to look at Avery sheepishly, “It was Zoe’s idea,” she defended but Avery wasn’t fully convinced. Figured maybe it was an idea they had both came up with.
“I’m sure it was,” Avery teased her as she walked a bit farther into the room, soon joining her sister’s on the bed. “Ah White Christmas,” she stated with another amused smirk.
White Christmas was a well known Hanson Family favorite movie so she wasn’t the least bit surprised that they had chosen it to watch.
“You look happy Avie,” Zoe muttered from where she sat beside Avery, sounding genuine as she looked her over. “Happier than I’ve seen you lately.”
“I guess I am,” Avery told her honestly knowing that even though she and Cordelia were still arguing that she was happy.
Happy that she had finally came out to someone in her family and been accepted. Maybe it gave her hope for whenever she was ready to come out to the others.
After saying that though, Avery fell silent and let herself get lost in the movie. Suddenly forgetting for awhile just how sleepy she had been. Almost wishing for a bit that she could just get lost in the movie and forget about her problems.
It was what she did best anyway. Run from her problems and find ways to hide from it. Latch onto people and things who she could use as excuses.
Waking the next morning to an incessant knocking on her bedroom door, Avery groaned some as she opened her eyes. Letting them move to the clock where she saw it was eight in the morning and this was not the kind of wake up she wanted at eight in the morning.
She was well known for not being a morning person. Whoever was on the other side of the door had better been dead or close to it in her opinion.
Sliding out of bed Avery walked to the door, “This better be life or death,” she spoke through gritted teeth as she opened the door and paused when she came face to face with Cordelia.
Feeling a bit taken aback at the sight of her girlfriend. Someone she had thought was still ignoring her seeing as she hadn’t returned the call Avery had left last night.
“Well it’s not but I brought coffee and a bagel,” Cordelia smiled as she held up the cup of coffee and the bag with the bagel in it. “Figured I’d bring both to ease the pain in the ass you can be in the mornings.”
Avery smiled some, taking both from Cordelia as she moved aside so that the other girl could come into her bedroom.
After both were in her hands and Cordelia had entered her room, Avery turned on her heel. Using her foot to shut the door behind her. Watching as Cordelia walked to the bed and sat down.
Avery soon following behind her as she sipped on the coffee. Smiling more as the warm liquid hit her system, hoping it would work fast to wake her up. Make her more jovial and less of a bitch.
“I’m surprised you came,” Avery spoke as she opened the bag with her bagel. Again smiling more because Cordelia had gotten her favorite kind.
A bagel with the blueberry cream cheese spread that she liked.
“I didn’t want to leave tomorrow without seeing you Avie,” Cordelia told her, reminding Avery of the fact that her visit for Thanksgiving was a short one.
The Christmas one was going to be longer even if she had to leave New Year’s day instead of being able to spend that holiday with Avery.
That was if they were still together. After all Cordelia could have came here to break up with her, wanting to get it done before she ran off to California free to date any girl who caught her eye. A thought that made Avery more jealous than she liked to admit.
Avery furrowed her eyebrows as she took a bite of her bagel, “Did you come here to break up with me before heading to California?” she asked almost afraid of the response. “Is that why you brought food and coffee to butter me up so I won’t be too mad?” she asked another question trying to play off how scared she was.
Cordelia gave a small chuckle at that as she shook her head, “No, I came to apologize,” she admitted unable to even look at Avery. “I felt like such a huge bitch after I got your voicemail.”
“I didn’t leave that voicemail to make you feel bad,” Avery told her in between bites of the bagel and sips of the coffee. “I just wanted to apologize for my part in everything.”
“I know,” Cordelia sighed softly. “But I still felt like a bitch anyway. You have a right to get any tattoos you want with any meaning for you. Just like you have a right to keep the necklace and I shouldn’t make you feel awful for wanting things that remind you of the girl you loved. I guess I’m just still bitter that I wasn’t the first girl you loved and I’m still so afraid that I’m just going to be second best for you.”
Frowning Avery waited until she was done with the bagel before reaching for Cordelia’s free hand, “You’re not second best to me Cordy. It’s not a competition,” she spoke knowing it would never be that.
Even if she didn’t love Cordelia yet. Just cared for her so fucking deeply.
“It’s probably going to take awhile for me to believe that,” Cordelia told her as she took her hand, squeezing it some. “But I’ll try as long as you are willing to try this relationship too.”
Avery grinned proudly as she finished her coffee, letting go of Cordelia’s hand to stand and throw her trash away in the trash can she had in her room.
After she had done that she walked back to the bed and sat back down next to Cordelia, “I’m still here and still trying,” she reassured her as she leaned over to kiss her cheek softly.
Feeling Cordelia’s cheeks move as she smiled when Avery kissed her cheek.
Cordelia slowly moving her head until their lips brushed as they kissed each other. Avery allowing Cordelia to push her back against the bed. A shiver going down her spine as Cordelia so effortlessly slipped her hand up Avery’s shirt and her tongue into Avery’s mouth.
Their tongues brushing against each other as they moaned into the kiss when their hips met. Avery letting her eyes fall shut as the kiss progressed.
Progressed enough that clothing got shed until they were both naked. Then Avery opened her eyes, looking Cordelia over and blushing when once again Cordelia took her naked body in as well.
“Is this weird for you Avery?” Cordelia asked against Avery’s lips as her hand found it’s way between Avery’s legs. Brushing over the already wet flesh.
Avery surprised at how easy it had taken her to get turned when just the other night it had been a bit harder.
“Not weird,” Avery told her as her blush grew some. “Just new and different,” she spoke before moaning when Cordelia once again brushed her hand over Avery’s pussy.
Avery’s mouth falling open as she felt one of Cordelia’s fingers slide inside of her. Knowing it had been or really felt like so long since she had, had someone else’s fingers inside of her.
Not since Charlotte with Paisley but no she refused to think of Paisley when Cordelia was above her. Finger fucking her so well that Avery suspected she had done it a lot with Jane…someone else she probably shouldn’t have thought of during this.
Deciding to do her best to shut her brain down and just revel in how good what Cordelia was doing felt. How nice the rhythm was and how for now Cordelia wasn’t teasing her.
Was being nice and rewarding her maybe though Avery didn’t know why. She almost felt like she didn’t deserve it.
Needed to work for what they were doing after all the shit that had happened the other day because in the end it had been her fault. If she hadn’t got the tattoo or kept it secret from Cordelia.
Avery’s head falling back slightly, Cordelia’s lips soon attaching to the free bit of skin that was exposed thanks to that.
Which once again got a moan out of Avery right as Cordelia slid a second finger inside of her. Her pace getting a bit faster and Avery bit her lip to keep from moaning any louder.
A part of her knowing that her family would all be waking up soon and the last thing she needed or wanted was them to hear or catch her having sex with Cordelia. Being almost lucky that none of them had caught her when she had been in this very same bed with Paisley on the Fourth of July.
Her brain automatically doing what she didn’t want and going to Paisley which caused her eyes to fall shut. Her brain being overloaded with images of her ex and the time they shared in this very bed.
How Avery still considered that night one of the best of her life. Even if the days after had been some of the worse.
The images of Paisley being enough it seemed to bring Avery over the edge as she reached her orgasm. Almost surprised when it was Cordelia’s name that slipped from her mouth since she had been thinking of Paisley as she orgasmed.
When Cordelia removed her fingers from Avery, Avery opened her eyes just in time to see Cordelia licking her fingers off.
Avery blushing at how much the sight had turned her on.
“Fuck that was hot,” she stated which made Cordelia look down at her curiously. “You licking my taste off your fingers,” she answered with a smirk before letting her hands rest on either side of Cordelia’s waist.
Flipping them over after she had done that and as she looked down at Cordelia she smirked, “Now, it’s my turn to please you.”
“Please me huh?” Cordelia asked playing coy. “Just how do you expect to do that Avery?”
Avery smirked more as she leaned down to press a quick kiss to Cordelia’s lips, “Well first I am going to use my fingers,” she told her as her hand went between Cordelia’s legs. Not at all surprised at how wet she already was. “Then I’m going to kiss down every inch of your body before ending up between your legs where I intend to make you come just from my tongue.”
Cordelia kept her coy look as she locked eyes with Avery, “Then get to work baby,” she whispered her words coming out soft.
Avery only smirking a bit bigger as she leaned in to kiss Cordelia again. Almost anticipating everything she wanted to do as well as hoping her brain didn’t bring up anymore images of Paisley.
Wanting just one experience with her girlfriend where her ex didn’t find her way involved somehow.
