Double Grades

I slumped into one of the kitchen chairs, resting my head on my arms. A nasty headache was forming, my temples throbbing. I felt choked up like I was about to cry. Was this going to be my life now? A constant life of misery? What had I done to deserve this?
Finally, I got up and made my way into the bedroom. The bedsheets were disheveled and dirty-looking, but I got under them anyway. All I wanted was something soft to lay on. The mattress, however, was anything but soft. We were supposed to buy a new one, but Kirk didn’t want to spend his own money on it and I hadn’t saved up enough just yet…
I sighed and closed my eyes. Tears started to stream down my cheeks. I just couldn’t keep in my emotions any longer. I knew I should break up with Kirk and take Madison’s advice, but I was too much of a coward.
Eventually, I cried myself to sleep.
In my fitful slumber, dark dreams possessed me. I was on the beach, the waves crashing against the shore, but I couldn’t see anything. All I could feel was the sand under my toes. Someone touched me, pulling me close. “I know you’ve been cheating on me.” They whispered and I felt my heart stop for a moment. It was Kirk. He knew my secret. He knew I had been with Madison.
I gulped, trying to get away from him, but his arms were like vice grips, squeezing me harder and harder until I thought I would suffocate. “Please… you’re hurting me…”
“Good. You deserve it.” I shook my head. No, I didn’t. I deserved to be happy… just like everyone else.
“No! Let go of me.” I began to struggle, determined to take control of my life.
Kirk just laughed, the sound cutting right through my soul.
“If you insist…”
He suddenly pushed me forward. I landed face-first into the water, sinking into its depths. I just kept falling and falling like I was made of lead. My lungs were starting to burn. My heart felt like it would explode at any moment. This was the end…
I reached the bottom and darkness overtook me, only this time, Madison wasn’t there to save me.
I woke up with a start. I was covered in a cold sweat from my nightmare, breathing hard. I ran my fingers through my semi-wet hair when I heard something coming from the living room. It sounded like the front door just got slammed open. I glanced at the clock I kept on the nightstand. It was already two in the morning.
I heard Kirk’s drunken laughter and my heart tightened. Had he been out all night drinking? I tip-toed into the living room. To my surprise, I saw him stumbling around with a girl clinging to his arm. She was a pixie of a girl, with a brown bob. She wouldn’t stop giggling. The sound made me sick.
Kirk looked up and saw me standing in the doorway. “You!” His word was slurred. He tried to walk up to me, but he was wobbly, bumping into an end table and knocking over one of our more valuable vases. “What are you still doing here?” He asked, his voice loud and threatening.
“Who’s this, baby?” The girl asked, looking at me with venom in her eyes. “You didn’t say anything about another girl.” She had a pout on her face, making her look like a child.
“That’s because she shouldn’t be here. Get out!” He screamed, trying to grab me. I was thankful for his slow movements because it gave me enough time to get out of harm’s way. He stumbled forward, nearly slamming into the bedroom door. “You bitch!” I quickened my pace, heading for the door.
I left without another thought, the door slamming behind me. Kirk didn’t bother to chase after me. I could already hear the girl giggling inside. I lingered on the landing. Deep down, I knew that I didn’t love Kirk – I never did, but the fact that he was willing to bring a girl home and then kick me out made me feel horrible.
I struggled to get down the stairs, my vision blurring and my nerves shot. The wind had picked up and it was chilly. I shivered, feeling my skin prickle with goosebumps all over. It was the middle of the night and I was all alone on my street. What was I supposed to do?
With no other option, I started walking, unconsciously heading toward the west side of town – toward N. Main Street – toward Madison.
Chapter 6
I don’t know how I managed to remember Madison’s address in my condition, but somehow, I found myself standing in front of her house. It was large, much larger than the one I shared with Kirk.
It felt like my heart had lodged in my throat. I started to have second thoughts. What if she hadn’t forgiven me for lashing out at her earlier? What if she didn’t want to see me? I looked up and down the street, rubbing my arms. It was the middle of night. Who knew if she would even answer the door.
The nearby streetlight started to flicker ominously as if it was trying to give me some kind of a sign to run away. But where was I supposed to run to? I no longer had a home to call my own and I certainly didn’t have any friends to call on. Kirk had destroyed most of my friendships… he had destroyed most of my life.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, I walked forward, determined to do the right thing. I couldn’t ignore my emotions any longer. Deep down, I knew I had feelings for this woman. Our time together had been magical. If I kept telling myself I was straight, I would only be lying.
Finally, I knocked.
Silence followed. I held my breath. Nothing happened for a moment.
I knocked again.
A light on the second floor turned on and I saw the curtains move. I heard someone coming down the steps before the door opened. Madison looked tired. “Chloe?” She rubbed her eyes and blinked at me as if I was some sort of apparition. “What are you doing here?”
“I…” I gulped down my nervousness. “You told me that if I ever ran into trouble I should come and find you…”
She frowned and quickly pulled me inside. She took my hand, guiding me into the kitchen. “Do you want some tea?” She asked. “It’ll help calm your nerves.”
“Not really…”
She was already boiling water in the kettle anyway. “What happened?” She sat down, holding my hands.
“N-Nothing.”
“Chloe, please. I can’t stand it when you lie to me like this. I can tell something is wrong. Why don’t you just tell me… I can’t help you if you don’t.”
I sighed. She was right. “Okay…”
She smiled. “Thank you.”
“When I went back home… Kirk questioned where I was. He thought I was out with some other guy and then kissed me. I felt grossed out so I pulled away and he got angry, raising his fist –”
“Did he hit you?” Madison’s voice was seething with anger.
“No, but almost.”
“I swear if he ever lays a finger on you… I’ll kill him.”
“It’s okay. I’m okay.”
“How can you say that when that dirtbag almost hit you…?” Madison shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s over now. I’m never going back there again.”
“Oh?” Madison actually looked surprised. “What made you change your mind?”
My breath caught in my throat and my palms started to sweat. I looked up, making eye contact with her. I fell deep into her gaze, getting lost in her beautiful eyes. “You.” I finally said, feeling a sense of relief wash over me.
Her cheeks turned pink at my response. “What do you mean…?”
“This afternoon… when you… well, you know.” I felt shy all of a sudden. I looked away, fiddling with the coaster Madison had set out in front of me.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me.” She whispered.
“No, I want to.” It took me a minute to muster my courage. “You made me feel like no one else before. Everything about you is simply amazing. Even though we were in the back of a car and it happened so suddenly, it was still the best experience of my life…”
“You’re just saying that.” This was the first time I had seen Madison actually blush. I giggled, finding it cute.
“No, I mean it.” I smiled at her. “You’ve completely changed my life.” I reached out and grabbed her hand.
I nodded. “Me too… it was long overdue. Thank you for making me realize that I need to take back control of my life…” Our eyes locked and I felt my heart skipping a beat.
She smiled, rubbing my fingers. “You’re so cold. Why don’t we go take a warm shower? It’ll make you feel better.”
“You mean… together?” I asked, my cheeks burning up. I could only imagine what her perfect body looked like when it was soaking wet. I had dreamed of it before, but I didn’t think my dreams could come close to representing the reality. Even our time spent in the car hadn’t given me the reward of seeing her naked. All I saw was her beautiful face smirking down at me as she played my body, sending me to a blissful high. I bit my lip to keep my fantasies at bay.
“Of course.” She winked at me. “Do you really think I would miss the chance to see you naked?”
I blushed even harder. I had no doubt I was red as a tomato at this point. “Okay…”
“Don’t be nervous. I promise it’ll be a lot of fun.” She locked her fingers with mine and pulled me toward the bathroom.
It was large and luxurious. Both the floor and the walls were covered in soft pink marble. The vanity was large with a lit mirror. In the corner, there was a hot tub that I eyed with intrigue.
“Would you rather take a bath?” She asked, coming up behind me. Her lips trailed along my skin as her hands reached forward, grabbing my breasts, kneading them gently. I was instantly reminded of our time spent in the back seat of her car. She had kneaded my breasts so much that they were sore and tender by the time I got home. Not that I minded all that much… especially when her tongue swirled around my nipples, flicking them back and forth, sending me to new states of ecstasy. I didn’t even know I could feel so much pleasure from foreplay alone.
As she grabbed my chest with a bit more force my body started to react to hers. My heart quickened its pace and my nipples hardened. Between my legs, I could feel my pussy getting wet. Not quite as much as I was in the back seat of her car, but I was quickly getting there. Madison just had a way of getting me so horny. It was like I was a completely different person. I just wanted her to have her way with me. To show me what it really meant to feel pleasure.
“I… I don’t have a preference…”
“Then shower it is. The quicker I get you into bed and into my arms, the better.” Her voice was smooth and soft like silk. I felt as if I was being pulled into her spell, becoming her willing plaything. While a tiny part of me was still confused by the fact that I was getting so turned on by another woman, I was starting to realize that I had been lesbian all along and that I had just repressed it throughout the years. Now, it was time for the real Chloe to emerge.
Madison finally let me go and turned on the shower, making sure the water was set to the perfect temperature before turning to me. To her surprise, I had already taken off my shirt, trying to prove to her that I was dedicated, that I wanted this just as much as she did. When she looked at me, I tried to smirk in her direction. I knew I couldn’t be nearly as sexy as she was… but I hoped I was at least doing something for her.
Reaching behind me, I slowly undid the clasp of my bra. Her eyes were glued to my body as I pulled down the straps, letting my bra fall to the floor, exposing my breasts. I blushed, wondering how she would react. “Mmm… even better than I remembered them…” The smirk on her face threatened to stay there forever.
She pulled me close, pinning me to the wall as her hand snuck into my panties. My heartbeat quickened as her fingers found my wet pussy. “I bet you’re wet too…” Her fingers grazed against my clit, flicking it back and forth before her hand snuck even lower, one of her fingers sneaking into my wet folds. I moaned out, tilting my head back in pleasure. She pushed her finger in as deep as it would go. I bit the inside of my lip to keep from moaning any louder. I was sure some of her neighbors would be able to hear us soon.
She didn’t seem to mind, however, because she twisted her finger, hooking it around inside my pussy. I rocked against her, my body asking for more. She continued to tease me, her finger moving at an excruciatingly slow pace that I could barely stand.
“Please… Madison…”
“What is it, baby?” She asked, pulling out her wet finger, a smirk playing on her lips. She pressed it against my lips. “Did you want a taste?” She asked. I could taste the sweetness on my lips. I looked into her eyes before I parted my lips, wrapping them around her finger, getting a good taste of myself. It felt a little strange, but at the same time, I was incredibly turned on by what was going on. I could feel myself getting even wetter. What was it about this woman that managed to drive me completely crazy?
I sucked on her finger for a moment longer as her other hand snuck into my panties, repeating the process. This time, however, before she pulled out completely, she forced in a second finger, picking up the pace, making me moan louder than ever. I tensed up, my pussy squeezing her fingers so tight it became hard for her to move them.
“So tight…” She whispered as she leaned closer, her face moving between my large breasts. I couldn’t stop myself from crying out in pleasure as she started to motorboat me. A few of my prior boyfriends had tried the same thing, but somehow when Madison did it, the sensation was a thousand times better. My nipples were rock-hard and I could tell there was a river forming between my legs. We hadn’t even stepped into the shower yet…
Madison seemed to be reading my thoughts because she quickly took off my pants, throwing them aside. She tore off my panties, the second pair she had ruined in a twenty-four-hour period. I blushed, now completely naked in front of her. She stepped back, her eyes roaming my body. “You’re perfect… you know that?” She whispered.
“You’re just saying that. I’m nothing like you.”
“You’re right, you’re even more beautiful. You throw me in the dust.” She caressed my cheeks with both hands and kissed me. Her hands moved down to my hips, resting there as she pulled me close. “Everything about you is perfect and don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise…”
I felt so happy, I was almost at the point of tears. Never before had someone told me I was beautiful in such a genuine way. I felt butterflies form in the pit of my stomach.
Madison started to undress and I was mesmerized by her movements. I could tell she was giving me a show because she was slow about it, swaying her hips as she shimmied her pants off. I shuddered at the sight. Her gorgeous body came on display and I felt my heart skipping a beat. For a moment, she stood in front of me wearing nothing more than her underwear. She looked like a model. I bit my lip, wondering how I had gotten lucky enough to get in a shower with her.
Mimicking what I had done before, she slowly took off her bra until her breasts were on full display. I nearly licked my lips, seeing them for the first time. Her nipples were so hard. Her dark areoles seemed to call out to me. I pictured myself wrapping my lips around her nipples, sucking on them like a newborn baby. “Like what you see?” She asked as she started to take off her thong. I wanted her to hurry up, but at the same time, I was completely mesmerized by her little striptease. I had never seen anything quite like it.
When she was finally naked, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. “Stop staring…” She winked, pulling me into the shower. The moment the hot water hit my skin, I couldn’t help but moan. Madison took the chance to kiss me, pushing me against the wall, her fingers already traveling down my body. She found my engorged clit with ease, flicking it back and forth. Lust completely took control, but I couldn’t help it. There was a beautiful woman teasing me. She had been teasing me for the past ten minutes. It was a miracle I hadn’t exploded by now. The fire in the pit of my stomach burned hotter as she pinched my clit between her fingers, tugging on it slightly.
I moaned her name, arching my back against the shower wall. She didn�
��t stop, continuing to play with my clit, getting it nice and sensitive. I had no idea whether the water that dripped from between my legs was from the shower or my own juices… The way my heart was beating and the way my body was on fire… I’d guess the latter.
I moaned into the kiss, but Madison didn’t stop. Why would she? She had me moaning and grinding against her body as if I was desperate. Besides, her hard nipples, now poking against my chest, probably meant she was excited too. At least I hoped so.
She just kept teasing me, using her thumb to excite my engorged clit while her other fingers started to press against my entrance. I arched my back and tightened in response. “Shh, relax baby.” She whispered in my ear, slowly pushing in one of her fingers. I pulled away from the kiss, moaning her name. She grinned and started to push it in even further until it was knuckle-deep. She gave me a moment to compose myself before she started to move it back and forth, picking up the pace.
