A/N: Song Fiction Chapter

Falling Into You

Sat. Night Oct. 20th. 8:54 p.m.

Bianca, Jamie and Mardie have completed their dinner and are now in the living room watching a movie when the lights go out...A storm has interrupted the evenings festivities of the three, however, it's just what the doctor ordered in the case of the two women who's hearts are secretly pining away for each other.

Jamie stumbling to the laundry area to check the fuse-box, saying, "Hey B, do we have any more fuses because we're all outta them in the storage drawer?" Jamie inquired to his fiancee as he used the flashlight to continue his search for another fuse.

The Thunder And Lightening Crackled And Boomed at an earth shattering pitch which made Mardie jump at the sound, she was deathly afraid of storms. And Mardie's reaction to the roaring storm did not go unnoticed by Bianca.

Sitting on the couch looking intently at Mardie with some worry, speaking almost in a whisper, Bianca asked, "Maggie, are you okay, honey...it' s just a little storm?" The brunette gently touching the dark blonde's forearm as she made her concerns known.

"I...uhm, I'm a-fraid of storms, Bianca,...I hate them." The normally fun loving woman said in such a scared child-like voice that it almost broke the raven haired woman's heart.

Placing her left arm around Mardie's shoulder and pulling her into a warm embrace, saying, "It's okay, sweetie, don't be scared. I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere, alright." Now placing a soft kiss to the blonde's right temple.

Jamie returning from the laundry area back into the darkened living room calling out to the two women, "Oh, hey, there you are, what's wrong with Mardie, babe?" Jamie asked with concern seeing that the pretty dirty blonde was practically curled up in ball huddled under Bianca's loving arms.

"She's really afraid of storms, Jay. She's shivering." Bianca spoke with warmth about Mardie to Jamie.

"Yeah, I can see that, well kinda, it's still pretty dark in here; even with this flashlight." Jamie said in an even, calming voice.

Greenlee laid in her big comfy queen-sized semi-firm Sealy Posturepedic bed, with ruby red satin bedding, thinking about the events of her day. The fun she had with her best friend, Kendall, running into that sexy Leo Hayward and even seeing her half-sister, Bianca, although, she wasn't happy about seeing her with her ex-girlfriend, Mardie...interrupting her own thoughts by saying a loud, "I wonder,...could Kendall really have been right about the two of them making a love connection,...God, I hope not, because after seeing Mardie again, today, and spending that little bit of time with her...I..I really missed being with her, I...think...I might want to try again with her; if she'll have me?

For a second time Greenlee's musings were halted this time by the ringing of her cell phone, checking to see whom it was, then answering, "Hey Ken, what's up?" The auburn-haired woman said matter of fact to the woman on the other end.

"Hey yourself, scab, whatta ya doin'?" Kendall asked cheerfully.

"Just thinkin'." Greenlee said flatly.

"Thinkin' about what, hon?" The curly-haired brunette said with affection as she finished drying the last dish and putting it away in the cabinet.

"Well, she can't leave in this condition, Jay, and the storm's getting worse, so I think sh..." Lovingly cut off by her beau.

"I'll go pull-out the sofa-bed for her while you get the fresh linen." Jamie commanded in a caring tone, giving Bianca a warm smile as he stood up to go prepare the guest room/office for their guest.

"Thank you, Jamie," Bianca stated warmly as she helped Mardie up off the couch.

Saying to the still very frightened blonde, "Okay, here we go..." Cut off by Mardie, holding tightly to Bianca's arm.

"Where are we going? Mardie inquired softly.

"To the guest room, it' s okay, hon, I'll be right there with you, kay." Binx retorted with great affection.

"Oh-kay, as long as you don't leave me, please Bianca." Mardie speaking in such a shaky voice that it was barely above a murmur.

Kissing the dark blonde woman's forehead then saying, "I won't baby, I promise."

Another Excruciatingly Loud Blast Of Thunder followed by a nails on a chalk board crackling burst of lightening was shooting thru the living room window and reverberating thru-out the entire bungalow sending Mardie into a fit of terror that manifested itself in a scream that was likened to that of a frightened child having a horrible nightmare.

"Greens,...what's on your mind?" Kendall asked with concern, as she walked over to her favorite chair situated in the living room near the bay window of her two bedroom brick ranch home.

"I...was just thinkin' about...today,...and all the fun we had, ya know, at the restaurant." Greenlee replied, however, that was not the only thing on her mind.

"Mum uh, sure Greens, you forget, honey; I may have only known you for...what...roughly three years, but I do know you pretty well, And I definitely know when you're lying And You're Lying To Me Now...But Why?!" Kendall asked her best friend in a demanding way.

Heavy sigh..."Okay,...I...I was...thinking...about...incoming call...hold on Kendall,..." Greenlee clicked over to the other line grateful for the reprieve from the inquisition that she was getting from Kendall.

Sat. Night Oct. 20th. 9:23 p.m.

Jamie calling out to Bianca and Mardie, asking, "Is everything alright in there?"

Bianca's simple reply was, "Yes. Mardie just got a bit spooked by the loud sound, but we're okay, Jay."

Bianca held Mardie for a few minutes just trying to calm her down then she quietly led her to the guest room. Whispering... "Maggie, sweetie, we're here...in the spare bedroom, I'm going to go fin..." Cut off by Mardie.

"Please! Don't Leave." Mardie cried out in a whimpering tone, grabbing Bianca's arm as she did.

"Honey, I'm just going to find you something to sleep in, okay, I'll be right back, I promise." Bianca stated tenderly as she placed her hand over Mardie's hand that was planted firmly on her forearm.

Mardie moving closer to Bianca, saying softly as she gazed lovingly into the brunettes deep brown eyes..."I don't want you to leave me...pleease." Searching B's eyes, practically willing her to stay.

Giving the dirty blonde woman a heartfelt look, responds, "Okay, I won't leave you. Maybe I can find something in here...searching the closet to see if there's anything that Mardie can wear to bed. "Ah, here we go; one of Jamie's old shirts," now looking at Mardie as she holds up the shirt to see just how big it will be on the small framed woman, saying, "this should be okay."

Mardie gingerly taking the shirt from the brunette's hands, then saying, "Thank you, Bianca, thank you for not...looking down then up again at the raven-haired woman...laughing at me for freaking out over this storm, but I just...I just can't stand them." The dark blonde said gently.

"Maggie, I wouldn't laugh at anyone who was in pain, in any real pain, anyway." Binx said with genuine warmth in her voice.

Another blast of thunder and lightening roared thru the charming little bungalow and of course Mardie jumped again but this time though Bianca instantly took the fragile dark blonde in her arms and caressed her hair and placed a very light kiss to her forehead, then said. "I'm right here with you, and I'm not leaving." Pulling away from Mardie slightly, Bianca called out to Jamie, saying... "Baby, I'm gonna stay in here with Mardie, you don't mind do you?" Bianca stood next to Mardie waiting for Jay's reply.

"Naw, babe, I understand, you girl...I mean ladies just hang out in there...standing near the guest room/office doorway and pointing inside...tonight and I'll see you both in the morning." Jamie smiled a big bright smile then walked into the room with the two of them and gently kissing Bianca on the lips then lightly rubbing Mardie's arm saying goodnight as he turned and went to the bedroom that he and Bianca share.

"LEO! Why are you calling me...weren't you summoned by your lady friend, or something like that?" Greenlee asked Leo with a playful smile on her face.

Laughter. "Yeah - I was but I got out of it. I talked to her and told her that I had other plans that could not be changed...soo what about that drink... or something?" Leo really wanted to be with Greenlee, so he decided to go after her full force and he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Can you hold on a sec, Leo, thanks...Greenlee clicked over not giving the sexy guy a chance to respond. "Hey Kendall, I have to go, but I'll call you tomorrow, ok?" Greenlee said in haste trying not to deal with anymore of Kendall's questions.

"Uhm, NO, It's Not OK. Why do you have to get off the phone, and who is it on the other line?!" Kendall barked.

"Excuse me, Kendall, you are not my mother nor are you my lover so it's none of your damned business who it is on the other end!"

Greenlee shouted at her best buddy.

"BITCH! Are You Mad? I'm Your BEST FRIEND! So I Do Deserve To Know Why Your Whore Ass Needs To Get Off The Phone So Abruptly!

So Don't Give Me Anymore Double Talk. NOW Spill It!!" Kendall roared almost as loudly as the storm outside their collective homes.

--

And in your eyes I see ribbons of color

I see us inside of each other

Once Jamie left and Bianca and Mardie were alone Bianca shut the door and walked over to Mardie and placed a warm hug and a gentle kiss to her cheek then said, "I'm really very glad I met you Maggie,...because I...searching the shorter woman's eyes for a sign that what she wanted and or needed could be found in her...and Bianca believing that she's received the clarity she desired; continues, "Think I'm Falling In Love With You?"

I feel my unconscious merge with yours

And I hear a voice say, "What's his (hers) is hers"

Mardie stood there in front of Bianca in silence for what seemed like an eternity to Binx, the dark blonde was so out doned by what the shapely brunette had said that she didn't even notice the earth shattering roar of thunder that just swept thru the house only seconds ago. Finally gaining her wits about her; running her fingers thru her thick gorgeous hair retorts, "I...don't quite know what to say,"...she certainly knows how she feels; she's head over heels for the brunette but Bianca said, "I Think I'm Falling In Love With You?" and Mardie remembering her best friend Jazz's warnings about taking it slow, wants to do just that; get to know the woman standing before her with the big warm brown soulful eyes, the silky dark brown luscious hair, the milky smooth skin, that perfect nose, those full delicious lips,...that she longed to kiss over and over again. Mardie wanted so much to tell Bianca that she was indeed In Love With Her Too but she just couldn't, not right now, not while everything was in limbo like this. For all intents and purposes Bianca is still Straight and Engaged... 'So whatever it is you're feeling Stone, You Gotta Chill!' Mardie told herself, fighting every desire she had to throw caution to the wind and pour her heart out to the beautiful brunette.

Bianca just stood there staring at Mardie waiting for a reply, a few moments later not being able to take the silence anymore she said, "Maggie? Did you hear what I said?" The brunette spoke with a soft yet firm voice.

"Yeah...um...yeah, I heard you Bianca, and I...I...boastering thunder interrupted Mardie's reply in which she was actually grateful for this time because she knew if she responded to Bianca's question tonight; the way she truly wanted to in the vulnerable state she was in now; completely letting all her inhibitions go and spill out everything that her heart was aching to say...and do to Bianca... I'm Crazy About You, Bianca, and I think you know that. And you're right about what you said earlier before we had dinner, we do need to talk; how about tomorrow?" Mardie said with a strange mix of both confidence and fear.

"Oh-kay, you wanna talk...tomorrow how's 10 a.m. sound?" Bianca replied in a puzzled tone, she was a bit hurt by Mardie's response..."I'm Crazy About You, Bianca," but she figured she would get the truth out of Mardie tomorrow morning.

"10 a.m.'s fine with me Bianca, I...now searching the taller woman's eyes for; she wasn't quite sure what, continuing, "is it alright if we go to Arabella's? The shorter woman inquired of Bianca.

The brunette just nodded the affirmative at the dark blonde then said, "Well, Maggie, I think it's about time we hit the hay, we've got to get up kinda early to get ready for our talk an..." Bianca being cut off by Mardie.

"Yeah, because I'll need to go home and grab a shower and a fresh outfit." Mardie stated plainly to Binx.

"Oh, well...I thought that maybe you could just take your I mean get ready here then we could go directly to have our talk, but if you wanna go home first then I guess you'..." Cut off once more by Mardie.

"I just didn't want to impose anymore than I already have, Bianca,...I've already shown you a side of myself that I'm not that fond of and..." Now Mardie was the one being cut off by Bianca.

"Maggie, you're not an imposition to me,...I really enjoy being around you, so please don't ever think or feel that you've forced yourself on me; because you haven't, okay, you're my friend and you're hurting...and you just need a little tlc right now." Bianca said tenderly as she placed a few strands of hair behind her ear and then ran her hand up and down Mardie's left arm to comfort her.

Mardie Looking At Bianca With So Much Affection which made it difficult for her to form the words that she so desperately wanted to convey, but Bianca could most definitely see it. For Bianca knew in her heart that the dark blonde was falling as deeply in love with her as she was with Mardie and even though the shorter woman hadn't come right out and said it; Bianca knew, well, at least, she hoped Mardie felt the same way?

I'm falling into you

This dream could come true

And it feels so good falling into you...

Sat. Night Oct. 20th 9:51 p.m.

"You know what Kendall, I really don't appreciate you telling me what to do all the time. I'm a grown woman, I have been for quite a few years now so please don't talk to me that way, okay, thank you." Greenlee stated plainly to Kendall.

"Greenlee, I know you're an adult, but I also know you...and you're keeping something from me, I can feel it, and I don't like it, because when you keep things from me you tend to do things that you otherwise wouldn't do and you know I'm right." Kendall spoke to Greenlee in a firm yet tender way that always seemed to get thru to the auburn haired woman.

"Like I said Kendall, I'm not a child you don't have to watch over me, I'll be just fine. Okay, problem solved, so there's no need for you to worry, alright, It's fine and I'm just going out for a quick drink with a friend." Greenlee said to Kendall in a warm friendly tone.

Kendall thought about what Greenlee had just said and then replied, "Uhm, No, not okay Greens, it's a freakin' thunderstorm going on out there with 50 mile an hour winds so I don't think you're going anywhere, at least not in that; anyway." Kendall strongly voicing her concern to Greenlee.

"Thanks, mom, but I'm a big girl now I can do a lot of things that I couldn't when I was little and tackling a little rain and thunder to go out is one of them, hell, you oughtta know that, you and I use to do that quite a lot not all that long ago, or has your senility kicked into full gear and you can't remember?" Greenlee quipped to Kendall with hint of playfulness in her voice.

"Greenlee Lorraine Smythe, if you don't stop bull-shiting me and tell me what the hell is going on with you YOU WILL BE SORRY!" Kendall urged.

Greenlee sighed softly knowing Kendall would never let up, not when she felt something was important, and Greenlee being Kendall's best friend means that she is very important to her, so she WON'T stop pushing until she finds out what's going on?

--

I was afraid to let you in here

Now I have learned love can't be made in fear...

Finally able to form a coherent sentence Mardie said, "I know you've been very patient and tender with me Bianca,...shrugging her shoulders as she continued...but I...I just feel a little bit awkward...looking down at the shirt Bianca gave her and absent-mindedly playing with the collar; then says,...breaking down like this, ya know, in front of you, and we still barely know one another, I mean, truly, deeply know one another, " Mardie's speach slowed as she gazed lovingly at Bianca, trying to gage if Bianca could sense how deeply she felt for her; even though Mardie made like their relationship was just a really strong intense friendship that she hoped would turn into something more, she knew that deep in her heart she was IN LOVE and she was just so afraid of letting Bianca know...well, because, she has a fiance and she's straight...and this kind of thing always happened to her; falling for unattainable women and she didn't want to be hurt again or cause any problems for any one else, but unfortunately it was much too late, she has fallen head over heels, lock, stock and barrel, set in Stone LOVE with Bianca Montgomery.

The walls begin to tumble down

And I can't even see the ground...

"Maggie, I Lo"...Bianca stopped herself before she said the words again, not wanting to push or feel like a fool just in case the vibe she was getting from Mardie was wrong. "I Like You Very Much and I Care about what happens to you, even if we've only known each other a couple of days." Bianca motioned for Mardie to sit with her on the bed as she held the dark blonde's hand and as she did she thought about how weird these feelings she was having for Mardie were, was she really in love or was she just attracted to Mardie's attraction for her, and as she continued to hold Mardie's hand and all these intense emotions rushed thru Bianca much like the raging storm that persisted it's course outside. Bianca thought; as the thunder continued to roar on and Mardie still feeling fragile was moving closer to Bianca for comfort and Bianca feeling her heart race a trillion miles a minute KNEW that Love was the only thing that this could be.

After another moment of silence Bianca spoke, "Well, we probably should try and get some rest, we both have a lot going on tomorrow."

I'm falling into you

This dream could come true...

Mardie, getting up from the bed stopped and looked pensively into Bianca's eyes and retorted, "I Love You Too, Bianca." Then Mardie walked coyly to the guest bathroom not giving the brunette a chance to respond or catch her breath, but with each step Mardie took she knew that now that she had spoken those words to Bianca that there was no turning back, they had dropped the gauntlet, the fight was on; the fight for their feelings to be acknowledged not only by each other but by the entire world, well, maybe not the all the world but their little piece of the world; which included family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Jamie, Bianca's fiance, her new friend, Mardie thought to herself as she washed the tears, fear and guilt from her face, she had so many musings roaming around in mind that she hardly noticed that she had almost scrubbed herself raw. After she finished freshening up she slipped the shirt Bianca gave her to sleep in on and came out of the bathroom hoping that the intuitive brunette wouldn't notice all the emotions that were flooding her mind and heart and spilling out onto her tenuous features.

And it feels so good falling into you...

--

BOPBOPBOP...was the sound at Greenlee's front door..."Ken, hold on a sec...going to answer the door...Leo!, how did you get here so quic...oh, Kendall," Greenlee, remembering Kendall was on the other end and being cut off by her.

"I know you did not just say Leo? Is that who you're going out with Greens? Please tell that's not who you're going to have drinks with?" Kendall said with such disdain and disbelieve in her voice that it made Greenlee feel like a small child that had just throughly disappointed her mother.

"Well, the bathroom's all yours now, Bianca." Mardie spoke in a soft feeble tone as she ran her hand thru her thick dark blonde tresses.

"Oh, okay, Maggie, thanks...hey, are you alright? You look a little pale?" The brunette voiced with concern flowing from her lips.

Mardie looked at Bianca timidly and then responded with..."Yeah, Bianca, I'm fine, just a bit tired...but I'm...I'm okay really." Giving Bianca a weak yet warm smile as she answered.

"Okay, Maggie, I just want you to know that you can talk to me, I'm here for you...anytime, day or night, remember that always." Bianca said to Mardie as she gave her a deliberately penetrative gaze that spoke volumes, she then got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to change into her sleep ware.

Leo walking into Greenlee's condo, checking out the place and in the process asking the auburn-haired hottie if she was going to wear that out...

motioning to her cream colored camisole, as sexy as she and it was he stated to her..."Uhm, maybe you should change into something a little more appropriate, although, I really do like it...A LOT! But I don't think the staff or some of the patrons at Z-BAR would appreciate it, well maybe the guys would, Leo smiled a wicked grin as he continued...then that would tick me off if a bunch of guys started clawing at you, so yeah you better go change." Leo completed his statement then turned to the wet bar over in the corner to left of the room and asked..."Do you mind if I make myself a quick drink"...waiting for Greenlee to reply...

A Few Moments Later Bianca exited the guest bathroom and went over to where Mardie was now standing; by the window, for the storm was subsiding and so was Mardie's fear of it but that fear was replaced by another equally uneasy feeling, that of being alone with Bianca, the woman that she had so reluctantly fell so hard, so soon for. Here she was in just an over sized button down shirt of the brunette's fiance and nothing else, and Bianca with an over sized t-shirt and nothing more?

"GREENLEE! GREENLEE!" Kendall screamed thru the phone at her best friend,..."Answer Me Dammit!"

"Ah, Kendall, hon, there's no need for you to yell, okay, I'm still here but I do need to get off the phone so I can get ready to go out, the storm has stopped Ken, and I want to go out. I'll call you later, bye Kendall." Then Greenlee closed her cell phone and asked Leo to fix her drink, a rum and coke, while she changed.

Sat. Night Oct. 20th. 10:27 p.m.

Falling like a leaf, falling like a star

Bianca's Breath Hitched As She Moved Closer To Mardie drinking in every inch of the sexy dirty blonde that stood before her...'God, what is it about this woman,' Bianca, thought to herself as she looked Mardie up and down, woman, Bianca repeated to herself...I'm IN LOVE With A Woman, WOW! The realization of that revelation came crashing down on the raven haired beauty like a ton of bricks and as she stood only inches away from her...soulmate, Mardie slowly turned around and gave Bianca a heartfelt yet sultry smile that made Binx heart and other things jump.

"Well, are you ready for bed?" Mardie inquired of Bianca in soft whisper.

"Um,...hard swallow...yeah, I'm ready, if you are?" Bianca smiled warmly at Mardie as she replied.

"Ya know, you don't have to stay in here with me now, the storm has stopped, I'll be okay by myself, I'm sure you'd rather be with Jamie inste"...Cut off by Binx.

"NO,...I want to be with you, Maggie,"...bowing her head and gingerly placing some stray hair behind her left ear..."I...I what if the storm comes back...I'd hate for you to be in here all by yourself." Bianca lifting her head back up and staring consciously into Mardie soft brown eyes.

"Muh, I see,"...smiling that lop-sided grin that Bianca was totally enamoured by...carries on her conversation..."alright then, what side of the bed do you want the left or the right?" The shorter woman asked the taller woman patiently waiting for her reply.

Responding slowly to the dirty blonde's query; finally decides..."The left-side, that way if the storm does come back I'll be next to the window." Smiling at Mardie, trying not to show her any signs of how nervous she truly was.

"Okay, well...I guess this is goodnight then?" Mardie said while lovingly gazing into the doe-eyed woman's eyes.

"Yep, I guess so...?" Bianca said in a slightly jittery voice as she pulled back the covers on her side of the bed.

Finding a belief, falling where you are...

--

Leo, making himself comfortable on Greenlee's over sized camel-colored sofa biding his time as the auburn-haired woman prepared herself for an evening out. Greenlee coming out of her bedroom...

Clearing her throat..."Muh um, I'm ready for our evening out, Mr. Hayward..." The sensual woman whom normally stood at 5' even, now stood an additional 4" because of the red and gold Manolo's that were the perfect accompaniment to her seemingly painted on matching shimmering red and gold shrapless one-of-a-kind Channel evening gown which had a split up the right side that was bordered on the obscene. This gown was in a word STUNNING! and Leo whom was awe struck when he saw the gorgeous wide-eyed woman with the irresistible dimples in said dress, wasted no time letting the diminutive yet shapely woman know exactly how he felt about her once he awakened from his self imposed state-of-shock.

Shaking himself out of his Greenlee-haze saying with lust in his voice..."WOWWW!! You Look AMAAAZING!! Absolutely Breathtaking!!"

Smiling from ear to ear showing off those adorable dimples and a killer smile. "Why Thank You Leo, your words are too kind, True, but too kind."

Greenlee allowing a light chuckle escape her 'Passion dans le Rouge' infused lips tilting her head to the right for emphasis right before turning around and exposing her partially nude back, she asked the tall tanned model-gorgeous man to zip her up.

"Do you mind..." Waiting for the handsome guy to zip up her dress, but instead of pulling the zipper up... he leaned down and kissed her on her right bare right shoulder then like a cunning fox he quickly moved to the left one to make the action of equal proportion.

"Well, that was a nice little surprise, but can you fasten me up, please, bec..." Being cut off by the amatory man.

"Because what,..." Leo spoke between seductive kisses to the short sassy woman's neck, his lips lingering at her pulse point causing Greenlee to

let out soft moans of pleasure that lead Leo to further his tour of her lovely small frame.

--

Catch me, don't let me drop!

Mardie timidly walking over to Bianca and standing directly behind her, cautiously placing her hand on top of the taller woman's right hand that's currently turning down the sheet; this action causes the brunette to pause, an erotic sigh breaking free of her larynx, paralyzed with fear, saying in a slow breathy tone to the sexy dirty blonde..."Um, I thought you wanted to sleep on the other side...trying to catch her breath...of the bed, Maggie?"

The shorter woman running her hand leisurely up the raven-haired beauty's porcelain skin making Bianca's whole body shuddered at her touch, then the dark blonde sensuously whispered to the curvaceous legal eagle..."It's a little chilly...because of the storm, so, maybe...we can cuddle for warmth?" Mardie drinking in Bianca's scent as she inquired.

Bianca definitely feeling the heat, utters in coarse sexy tone..."I think that can be arranged." Her back still to the shorter, now, more dominant woman.

Gently turning Bianca around so that they are now face to face, saying..."I Do Love You, Bianca, it's not just a physical thing, I just want you to know that." Mardie studying Bianca's eye's needing to find some sort of confirmation from the brunette.

"I Really Love You Too, Maggie." Bianca stated genuinely.

Love me, don't ever stop!

So close your eyes and let me kiss you...

Mardie reaching up on her tip toes to meet Bianca's lips with hers; at first the kiss was a soft peck which then grew more involved when Bianca parted her lips and Mardie who had been searching for an opportunity to take siege Bianca's tongue found her avenue to do just that. And as the kiss continued, developing into a insatiable thirst that could not be quenched with just one sip. Lips caressing one another hungrily looking for a home and finding one within the comfort of each tantalizing sensation after the other. Yet, both young women unwilling to totally surrender to the other's battle for dominance. Although, Mardie had a bit of an edge over Bianca, starts getting weak in knees when Binx grabs the shorter girl up in her arms and begins to gently bite on her neck. Then finally, Mardie being unable too stand the amorous brunette's deluge of kisses, licks, nibbles and gropes, reluctantly opens her eyes and pulls away from the intense make out session, not because she wanted to end it but because she had to, she couldn't breathe, and she really did feel faint, so she had to admit defeat to Bianca. Mardie managing to utter..."You Win,...those little nibbles and licks, really got to me, B." Smiling at the woman of her dreams, resting her head against Bianca's chest near her heart, intently listening to the erratic rhythmic beat; that she was responsible for creating.

Bianca laughing in between bouts of catching her breath; replying..."Nibbles-n-Licks,...heavy panting...Nibbles-n-Licks,...heavy panting...I'd like to get me some more Nibbles-n-Licks!" Both women laughing at Bianca's comment like two adolescence clowning around in detention.

Beginning To Undress The Sultry Woman as he continues his travels kissing down her shoulder and onto her back slowly pulling her dress down, then all of the sudden Greenlee stops the sexy prodical Hayward brother to ask him a question...

Still laughing..."You're crazy Bianca Montgomery, you know that don't you, but, it doesn't matter because I like that about you." The shorter woman replied while gazing up into Binx dark browns.

"Yes, I have full disclosure of my disorder Ms. Stone." Bianca kissing the dirty blonde-haired woman on the forehead then nose before lavishing her with another sensuous kiss to her lips.

"Mmhm, that was niiice...very nice, I think I'd like more please!" Mardie replied full of zeal to the brunette.

"Well, that can be arranged, honey." Bianca said then placed one more passionate kiss to Mardie's full tender lips.

"Leo, why are you doing this...really?" Greenlee uttered between enjoying the feel of the gorgeous guy's strong yet tender lips touching the bare places on her body and literally catching her breath.

"What, you haven't made out in so long that you don't recognize when someone's trying to seduce you, Greenlee?" Leo whispered in her right ear as he continued to kiss down her neck.

Greenlee manages to pull away from Leo, but he grabs her and with some force he starts to pull her back into his arms and looks into her eyes with desire then says..."I'm not letting you get away from me not that easily, Greens."

"Leo, you don't want me, you want the illusion of me...of us, of what we used to be, or maybe you're just trying to escape something, or someone else but...I'm not the answer Leo...now gently pushing the tall tanned hunk away, as she carries on her conversation... "Leo,...I...I know that we used to have some fun times, but I'm really, truly, trying to clean-up my act, because I want and need more than just a good roll in the hay, I Need To be Loved, and To Love Someone In Return." Greenlee's words resonated in Leo's ears for he understood exactly what the auburn-haired woman was saying, because deep-down he felt the same way - about his family.

And with that said Greenlee asked Leo to leave, and he complied giving Greens one last kiss on the cheek before he descended into the chilled, damp air which was the aftermath of the stormy night.

"Wow! Uhm, okay, Damn girl, that was better than the last one." Mardie said to Bianca with lust and love falling from her lips.

"Baby, there's plenty more where that came from, I assure you." Running her right hand thru the dark blonde's locks as she gave her a sly wink.

With her arms planted tightly around Bianca Mardie spoke these words... "Bianca, I'm genuinely In Love With You and I know that we have

a lot to talk about but I just don't want you to think that I'm only trying to get in your pants, because I'm not, You mean more to me than any other woman I've been with. And I know...that, that's hard to grasp since we've only known each other a couple of days, but You Absolutely Took My Breath Away the first time I saw you. And I'm willing to go as slow as you need to go because I don't want to mess things up with you, not like I have in the past with some of the other women I've dated. Bianca I...I can see us growing old together,...I...God...I donno why I'm carrying on so,

I guess I just wanted to tell you what I was feeling about you...about us,...do you get any of this?" Mardie rambled, looking at Bianca with hope and longing.

"Yes, Maggie, every word. And you're right I am going to need some time but I know that what I'm feeling for is Love too. Something that's more more real than I've ever felt before." Bianca said lovingly gazing into Mardie's soft warm brown eyes, which was all the confirmation the dark blonde needed.

"Good,...on that note I think we really do need to get to bed, we have some serious talkin' to do in the morning." Mardie conveyed with sincerity to the brunette whose eyes were getting heavy with sleep.

"I believe you're right and this time we have to actually get in this bed and go-to-sleep!" Bianca stated pointedly.

"Right, let's go dream weaver, here we come!" Mardie replied then smiled as she gently pulled the languid brunette down onto the bed.

And while you sleep I will miss you...

And with that; the two, Lovers in Waiting, got cozy in the comfy sofa-bed and instantly drifted off to La-La Land.

I'm falling into you

This dream could come true

And it feels so good falling into you

Falling into you

Falling into you

Falling into you

FALLING INTO YOU CELINE DION
