Part 10 - In Which Lilies Provide The Key
The only thing that Sophie could think about as Sian had her arms tightly wrapped around her waist and was crying hard into the fabric of her dress (that was only JUST covering her front chest area) was that her whole body was tingling all over.
And rightly so. This was the first proper physical contact that the girls had made with each other since THAT NIGHT and as soon as Sian had grabbed Sophie the effect had been immediate. Sophie's brain finally caught up with what was going on and she put her arms which had been awkwardly held out to the sides previously around the blonde in front of her, holding on just as tightly. "It's okay," she whispered. "You're okay."
Although Sian was bawling her eyes out, inside she was actually a bubbling well of happy stuff. Before she had been crying because she was freaked out as hell, not knowing what Ryan was going to do but now, now it was because Sophie, HER Sophie, had come to her rescue. She was her knight in shining - little black dress and now she was there with her, holding her, telling her everything was going to be alright and Sian knew it was true. She knew it with every fibre of her being because it FELT right.
Just this. Even if they were standing in a dingy alley behind a pub with the unconscious body of a sleaze ball lying less than 3 feet away from them. It felt as though in Sophie's arms was the place she was meant to be and she never wanted to leave. Reluctantly, she lifted her head up and wiped at her face, the sobs slowly subsiding.
Sophie just watched her, not saying anything, content to stay the way they were forever. If she opened her mouth now and said anything Sian might remember that she hated her and then it'd go back to how it was before and Sophie didn't think she could stand that.
"Thank you," Sian said so softly that Sophie almost missed it.
"What?" Sophie breathed, not sure she had heard right.
Sian gulped and suddenly got very self-conscious, realising that she was still holding onto Sophie so tightly. Letting go, she stepped back saying a bit louder this time, "Thanks, thank you. Y'know, for-" and she indicated to the slumped mass that was Ryan on the ground.
"Anytime," Sophie replied lamely, kicking herself inside for not coming up with something a little more intelligent. She was just itching so badly to take the blonde back in her arms and do more than just hold her, if you know what I mean.
It was at this point that the slumped mass started to move, groaning and causing Sian to shriek out in surprise and jump back towards Sophie, who had moved her body in front of her protectively. Ryan stumbled to get up, failing the first time and falling back down but on his second attempt managing to get up, clutching his face.
"What-wha," he mumbled, staring at the blood on his hand from where his nose had been leaking after Sophie hit him, it not yet quite clicking in his head that the blood in fact belonged to him.
As he stood there bewildered and finally coming to the appropriate realisation that yes, it was in fact himself that was bleeding severely from the nose, Ryan did the most courageous thing he'd done so far and promptly fainted again. This time however it was only for a few seconds so his eyes were darting around again while he lay on the ground in no time.
Throughout this whole occurrence, Sophie and Sian had been staring at Ryan wide-eyed, Sophie still in front of Sian and Sian happy to have the brunette between her and Ryan.
"You - you hit me!" Ryan gasped at Sophie after he had gotten up.
"Yeah, and you'll get a lot more than that if you don't clear out right now Ryan," Sophie stood up to him with a false bravado. To say that she was scared shitless by what was going down right now would be an understatement.
Ryan looked as if he was about to go for Sophie but then hesitated, thinking better of it and instead gave a snort and wiped at his face. "You know what Sophie, whatever. You're not worth it, either of you," he spat at them before storming off back into the Rovers to do what, the girls didn't care. The important thing was that he was gone, hopefully for good.
Sian was staring into space in disbelief when she said out loud, "Wow."
"What?" Sophie had been lost in her head, trying to calm down from what had just happened and what COULD have just happened. If Ryan hadn't of backed off...
"You were amazing," Sian told her.
"Oh," Sophie replied. "Well, I've had lots of practise fighting with Ryan so it's nothing new."
Sian frowned at her, "What do you mean?"
"Ryan and me have history, it's a long story," Sophie sighed. This was the last thing she wanted to talk about, especially after the day that she'd had, AND with Sian no less.
"Wait, you mean," Sian trailed off and then gasped. "That's why you were so upset in the bathrooms," she said, putting her hand to her forehead. "Oh my God, Sophie I'm so sorry, I never would have agreed to go out with him if I knew, I swear!"
"It's alright Sian," Sophie weakly smiled at her. "I don't blame you, I was acting like a right stuck up cow to you when you came here and all you wanted was to talk."
Sian looked at Sophie and tilted the other girl's chin up which had dropped so that they were now staring into one another's eyes. Sian smiled and it just lit up Sophie's world, she could get used to seeing that smile on a regular basis.
The music that was drifting into the alley through the door Ryan had left open on his way back into the pub changed to a slower song, causing Sophie to look towards it before turning back to Sian and holding out her hand. "May I have this dance?" she asked in a whisper voice.
Sian giggled and took Sophie's hand while her other one somehow found its way to the small of the brunette's back as they started to sway together to the music.
We'll do it all, everything, on our own
We don't need, anything, or anyone
If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
The song played as the girls leant into each other and moved slowly on the spot, both feeling more in that moment then they'd ever thought imaginable.
I don't quite know, how to say, how I feel
Those three words, are said too much, they're not enough
If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Sian moved her hands to behind Sophie's neck, Sophie then dropping her own to Sian's waist in response as they rested their foreheads against one another's.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old, just show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads
If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
As the tempo of the song started to pick up, the girls didn't notice it but so did their heart rates. This was probably because they were more preoccupied with staring into each other's eyes now as they were moving along to the music.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old, just show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where, confused about how as well, just know that these things will never change for us at all
Rosie had seen Ryan storm out of the Rovers before but due to her ahem, slightly intoxicated state at the moment, she only just now was noticing that her little sister and a certain blonde barmaid had been missing for quite a while. Leaving Jason alone for the time being and walking towards the back to make sure everything was alright (though what she would have been able to do in her current condition was questionable), Rosie spotted them outside in the alley and started to go outside as well before she realised what they were doing. Smiling to herself, she discreetly closed the door leading to the alley without the girls noticing and went back to the 'dance'.
If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
With the end of the song Sophie and Sian had stopped with their dancing also but still remained in the same position, arms around each other and their eyes locked. Neither one was moving, neither one was going to move. Moving would mean that they'd be brought back to the real world and both were happy to stay just as they were, in this little bubble of perfectness that they'd made for themselves.
Involuntarily Sian bit her bottom lip, drawing Sophie's attention to her mouth. God, those lips, Sophie thought. She didn't care if Sian never wanted to talk to her or see her ever again, here was her chance and she was going to take it. Little did she know that Sian was having the exact same thoughts and that this was what she had wanted to do ever since she'd seen Sophie outside the Rovers after she first came to Weatherfield. It was what she'd wanted to do ever since that night in Southport actually, and to be honest, even if they didn't know it at the time, since they'd first laid eyes on each other in that bar, on that oh so fateful night.
All at once, the intense staring was broken by both Sophie and Sian crashing their lips against one another, weeks of pent up emotions, feelings and lust finally being released in a fast and hungry, heated kiss that left them both breathless and wanting more. Sian pushed Sophie against the wall, slipping her tongue into the exchange, Sophie's moans of pleasure only causing to excite her more and spur her on further, now attacking the brunette's neck.
All too suddenly reality leaked into Sophie's state of awareness and she remembered where they were. "Sian. Sian!" She tried to get the attention of the girl currently causing a thousand wonderful sensations to course through her body.
"What?" Sian said in between placing kisses along Sophie's jaw line until she reached Sophie's lips altogether and held them in a slow kiss for as long as she could.
"No Sian, seriously," Sophie told her, trying to resist the incredibly tempting urge to just let them have their way with each other then and there. "We can't do this here."
"My Dad's at work, did you want to go to mine?" Sian asked but then remembering, "Shit, the keys are in my bag though and I left them in there." She made a gesture to the Rovers and was frowning at their predicament. Neither of them really wanted to go back into the pub to grab their things then head out again. Despite the amount everyone had had to drink too many people would notice and too many questions would be asked that they didn't feel like answering just yet.
Sophie shook her head as she said, "Damn, mine's in there too." Her eyes brightened however as she realised, "Wait, we have a spare key hidden in one of the pots Mum keeps out front!"
Her excited mood was infectious and Sian was soon grinning madly and nodding her head in agreement as they embraced for another quick kiss before heading around the alley to where it opened out onto the street. Checking to make sure that there was no one else about, the girls raced across the cobbles in their heels, giggling and feeling like they were teenagers again, sneaking around and trying not to get caught.
Despite the lack of light Sophie managed to locate the spare key relatively easily (it was hidden with the lilies, her Mum's favourites) and soon the giggling girls were through the door and inside the house. Wasting no time, their lips found each other straight away and as the kiss was deepened, they could feel the longing and desire they had for one another do the same.
Sophie shut the door roughly behind them and started to lead Sian up the stairs, not breaking the contact between their lips which had started to really battle it out now. It wasn't until after Sophie had pulled Sian into her bedroom and closed the door behind them that the clothes started to come off. First it was the heels that were kicked off, next it was the dresses. Sian's was unzipped and Sophie carefully pulled it down so that she could step out of it, both girls agreeing that they had gone far too long with their lips apart by joining them once again as soon as the dress had been flung to the side.
Sian did Sophie's next, pulling it up and over her head, the blonde repeating the same action of tossing it in any random direction. All that mattered was that they were there, together, alone in the house and pretty well naked (they had been wearing strapless dresses so there was no need to bother with bras).
Sophie gently pushed Sian down onto her bed and slowly climbed on top of her, hesitating slightly. Even though they both wanted this, DEFINITELY wanted this, there was a certain nervousness to the situation. Last time they were here, at the point they were now, they had had enough alcohol in their system to let things just flow, but Sophie's mind was going into overdrive. What had she done last time? Had it even been right? Whatever it was it sure as hell had felt right...
"Sophie," Sian said softly, breaking Sophie from her thoughts. She still couldn't get over how by just saying her name, Sian could make Sophie get butterflies in her stomach and cause her heart ot beat faster.
"Yeah?" Sophie gulped.
Sian smiled at her and leaned up to kiss her softly on the mouth. Pulling out from it she said to Sophie, "I'm scared too, just go with it."
Sophie nodded before crashing her lips back to Sian's, all hesitation and reservedness gone, only the feelings of desire and longing from before remaining. Kissing down the side of Sian's neck she kept going until she reached Sian's breast, taking her nipple in her mouth.
Sian's gasp at this only served to encourage Sophie more, bringing her hand up to gently squeeze Sian's other breast. Sian was helpless by this point, the only thing she seemed capable of doing being to moan in pleasure. It didn't help then when Sophie again continued to move down her body with her mouth and smiled into the kisses each time Sian made a noise at Sophie finding yet another sensitive spot.
Eventually Sophie had made her way down to Sian's underwear and it was here she stopped to look up at the blonde for permission. Incapable of making coherent speech, Sian simply nodded urgently as Sophie slid the item of clothing down while moving back up to capture Sian's lips with her own. During the kiss Sian stopped with a sharp intake of breath as she felt Sophie enter her.
"Are you okay?" Sophie asked quickly. "Is this alright?"
Sian answered by greedily attacking Sophie's mouth once again and subconsciously pushing herself further onto Sophie. Getting the point, Sophie returned the kiss just as eagerly and started to move her fingers back and forth. Her rhythm started off slow, but as their breathing started to become more erratic and the kisses more feverish, Sophie couldn't help but quicken the pace, getting caught in the energy and heat of the moment.
Sian had started to groan into Sophie's mouth and the other girl was getting so turned on that she seriously thought she might just come right then but kept going with the hand movements. She started to feel Sian clenching around her fingers and sure enough, there was one final, louder groan of ecstasy into Sophie's mouth before she fell against the bed next to Sian, both girls' chests heaving heavily and staring into one another's eyes happily.
All the weeks of waiting, of longing and hoping for this moment to come and they were finally here. And it was perfect. THEY were perfect.

So I know I said that because it was the unibreak I'd be updating more often, but that so hasn't happened at all. I've been way too distracted with the internet and it seems I only really feel the urge to write when I actually have reports due :/ I haven't done any homework at all either, like, NONE and I'm going back in under a week :S
But yeah, so here's a new update! I've never written Hanky Panky before so I do realise that this may have been absolute shite but at first I was just gonna leave it out altogether so yeah.
The song playing during the dance was INCREDIBLY hard to pick because I couldn't decide between this or Iris and I must have listened to them both at least 20 times to try and decide which one was better :/
Comments/reviews make my world go round, do feel free to leave one :P
And this chapter is dedicated to everyone that's commented so far or reviewed (here and on ff.net) and just in general supported me with this story. You guys really are awesome and the reason I've kept writing the story, so thank you :)
