Second Chance

Chapter 2 - First Visitor

 
              Laura woke up with something heavy draped all over her. It took her a short while to realize that it was Taylor's arm wrapped around her waist and her legs tangled with hers. She smiled as she felt her girlfriend's warm breathe on her neck, her whole body almost on top of hers. She sighed contentedly as the scent of her hair hit her and it was the best smell there was. She gently kissed the top of her head, not wanting to wake her.

                It was only their second day on their new home and she already felt like they'd been here for a really long time. But then again, she knew that it was really not the place that made her feel at home but the beautiful blonde beside her. This thought made her wrap her arms tighter around Taylor, wanting to feel her closer even if you could barely drop a paper between them.

                She stayed still for a while, rubbing Taylor's back soothingly, enjoying the peace and comfort that this was making her feel. Few minutes later, she felt Taylor stir and mumble something muffled by her own neck. "Okay, maybe you can try that again in a normal language now, babe," she said, chuckling slightly.

                Taylor slowly pried herself away from the brunette just far enough to look at her. "I said, why are you up so early?" Taylor said with her eyes still half-shut, trying to adjust to the room's brightness.

                Laura wondered how, after all their months together and all those times they woke up beside each other, Taylor was still able to make her feel this way whenever she would see her the first time in the morning. The blonde's hair was disheveled and it was sticking out everywhere and her eyes were puffy and all but all she could make out from this was how gorgeous her girlfriend looked in the morning. After all this time, she could still feel her heart race a lot faster than it normally did just by looking at her. She still found Taylor the most beautiful woman to ever exist on this planet and she was sure she would rather stare at her all day than go out and see the rest of the world. This person right in front of her was her world and she'd be crazy to trade her for anything else.

                "Well, how can I stay asleep when there's a monstrous creature draped all over me? I don't think I can still feel my ass. God, you're heavy," she said jokingly earning her a quite violent response.

                "Hey!" Taylor smacked Laura's arm a little more harshly than she intended to and she saw her girlfriend wince in pain. "Oh my gosh babe, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hit that hard." She sat up immediately, checking where she hit Laura and she silently cursed herself as it was now burning red.

                The pain immediately went away as soon as it came but seeing Taylor's reaction made Laura's heart swell so she wanted to stretch this out a little longer. "Ouch, I didn't know you could be so abusive," she faked a pained look and she could see Taylor's eyes fill with worry.

                "I'm sorry. Where does it hurt?" she tried rubbing the reddish part on Laura's skin, hoping its color would go back to normal but it wouldn't. Laura's skin was so pale and a bit sensitive to everything she should've known not to hit her, albeit jokingly.

                "Here," Laura pointed to where she could supposedly feel the pain and she almost grinned because Taylor still couldn't get that she was just messing with her. She found her so adorable with that slightly panicked look on her face she could kiss her right there. But no, she wasn't done playing games just yet.

                "I'm sorry, baby." Taylor hunched down a little to pepper little kisses on Laura's arm, the part where she hit, all the while mumbling her apologies. "I'm sorry. Does it still hurt?" She didn't wait for Laura to respond as she kept on kissing her arm, this time making her way upwards until she'd already reached the crook of her neck.
