“Hey, can you come down here a bit? I wanna kiss you.”
Tall, dark and smirking, she leans down to face the little one bringing their faces closer to each other. “Is this better? Where are you gonna kiss me?”
“Hmm..” she pauses and looks to the side, feigning a deep thought. “Howabout-“ she launches herself at the older one’s face, practically bouncing off the taller one’s cheek with a peck. She turns around quickly in embarassment.
Long black hair snaps up, surprised that the kid had the courage to do that. She used to be so nervous, and a damn cute nervous. “Oho, brave one today…” she gives the little one a smile of appreciation and acknowledgement but decides to tease her a bit. “But technically you didn’t kiss me, just my hair.”
“Huh? Not fair! Your hair counts as you!” she pouts and crosses her arms, turning away from phi, pulling the cutest goddamn face.
“Oh little one..” she leans over and with her index finger, lightly pulls a stray hair back and off the brunette’s face. “I’ll give you a second try.” She turns the little one’s face towards her and crouches a bit down in front of her nong, staring directly into those huge bright eyes.
‘Oh damn, she’s looking so hard at me and she’s so pretty,’ the younger woman thinks to herself staring into those curious and inviting eyes. ‘There’s something else in there too though… she’s daring me to do it again. I can’t back down now! Ahh she’s so gorgeous, I can barely think…’
“Well? Would you like to try again or did you change your mind?” the older one speaks, interrupting the overthinking quiet in the air, snapping the brunette back to reality.
“Well of course I’d like to try again” she says softly, “You’re just so pretty I lost track of what I was doing.”
“Eh?” this throws the older woman off a bit and the younger one takes the opportunity to reach up and touch her face, bringing them even closer together.
The little one smiles and pauses, realizing she’s got putty literally in her hands and can tease her phi. So she turns her phi’s face, slowly pushes the long black hair away from her face, and this time comes as close as ever to the warm bare cheek in front of her. She can smell the light scent of sunscreen and facial products and feels the warmth radiating off her phi’s cheek before pulling back and taking her hands completely off of her face.
! The shock of the naughty little one coming so close to giving a bare face kiss, the feeling of her hair moved by fingers that don’t actually touch her skin, the older one’s anticipation of warm lips on her cheek, the realization of it not happening, and the loss of her little one’s touch completely, all smack her in the face rushing through her body !
The taller one groans loudly, “Oooi!!! You’re a little tease! I’m gonna get you back when you least expect it…Tsk, I wanted a proper kiss,” she pouts.
The younger one beams at the other woman, excited she got the upper hand this time, “Maybe later, if you buy me a matcha?”
“But I buy you matcha almost every day, I don’t get kisses for every matcha do I?”
The little one pauses to think, scrunching her face up in the cutest way while pondering how to keep her phi on her toes. “Well this one can be a special trade, one matcha for one kiss, it’s a one time only deal!”
“Only one? What do I have to do to get more kisses though?” the older one swallows what she really wants. She’s been holding back, afraid that her inner desires would scare the little one away. So she told herself she’ll stay patient and hopes her nong will stay with her through it all, but things have been slipping past her defences and things are getting closer to breaking. Nevermind the fact that the little one makes her squirm, tear up and/or get shy so easily depending on the day. She could never hide her emotions on her face or with her body. Clear and direct was always her way before. Before..
“This is a limited deal offer phi, but I’ll let you decide what kind of kiss you want.”
Eyebrows shoot up in response to her cheeky retort, “Oh really? Do you mean that? Or are you just teasing me like that fake kiss you just gave me right now?”
“Mm,” the brunette nods, she means it and wants to see how far phi can push it.
“Well, let’s go get that matcha!” she grabs the younger one’s hand and heads to the closest coffee shop around the corner. She wasn’t going to waste any time dallying when a free-pass kiss was on the line. Grinning, she beelined for the counter and ordered two matchas, straight up, no milk or sugar.
‘The little one has surely influenced my matcha order lately,’ she ponders as they wait for their matchas. They’re still holding hands while they chat about nothing in particular as they wait. The taller one is wondering in the back of her mind how she can get her kiss and her way with the cute little one. ‘Do I want a kiss more or revenge more?’
They get their matchas and walk to a nearby park, finding a bench to sit and enjoy the view of the city. Both sip quietly as something changes in the air between them. Sure, they’d acted & worked together, and even kissed on some series but this was their off time. Without an intimacy coach or script to work off of, both felt shy and a little out of their comfort zone and experience when it got down to the physical flirting they had been dancing around.
“So quick to grab that matcha phi, did you figure out that kiss that fast?”
Straw still in her mouth, the older one had not figured it out yet. She fumbled but tried to act more mature than she felt, she was the older one after all. “Oh yeah, I know exactly how I want you.”
“Ah!” it caught the little one by surprise, usually phi was all giggles and squirms- this confidence made her pause and take in the beauty sitting next to her. Wide eyes watched the older one as she finished her sip. She rested her hands and cup in her lap and waited to see what happens next.
The taller woman grabbed her black hair, pulling it off her shoulder to one side, placing her matcha on the far end of the bench before turning towards the little one. She comes in close, putting one hand behind the little one on the bench and reaching up to touch the little one’s chin.
“I’d like to kiss your cute face, taste that matcha on your tongue and leave you breathless,” the older woman comes in close directly in front of the other, they are whispers away from touching lips. The younger woman closes her eyes and waits for the incoming kiss, she was so close to feeling those soft lips again.
“But I’ve decided for this kind of kiss, I want to kiss you where no one else can see. Maybe another matcha for another day!” she fakes out and pulls back, quickly whipping her matcha straw back in her mouth out of nervousness. She can barely believe the performance she just gave.
‘She just got me back!’ eyes snap open and the little one briefly fumes as the hormones and tension rush out of her body. She play-smacks the older one, “Phi! What the heck! You were so close to kissing me?”
Straw still in her mouth, the anxiety is winning and she hopes this bravado can still cover for it, “Well, the deal was I buy you a matcha and you give me the kiss you didn’t give me earlier, remember? It’s not the other way around, so ha.” She gloats for being so clever and getting the little one back.
The little one sees her opportunity and slides in as close as possible to her phi, touches the far side of the taller woman’s face and firmly but gently places a solid kiss on her cheek, lingering and rubbing her warm nose on her cheek where she kissed before pulling back and sliding back to her original position, getting a statement sip of matcha to end it all, matching her phi’s stunned posture - straw now hanging limply from her slightly gaped mouth.
The older woman blushes from her toes up through her face and she flushes, totally stunned. She felt that kiss for real and she knew the little one was gonna be a handful moving forward. “Well..uhh..hmm,” she stammers. They sit side by side, looking out at the view of the city. A long pause takes over as they both contemplate what just happened. Replays and imaginations running as wild as their heartbeats.
“I got the kiss I wanted after all. You’ll have to buy me more matchas if you want the kiss you want later,” the younger woman says, happy she won today’s battle. Reversing their couple name in her head, the little one likes how it sounds and files that away for more flirty moments in the future.
