Double Grades

by Kristine Robinson

  “I like it a lot, I think maybe because it’s not what I expected.”

  We made our way outside and I took a quick look around the yard. Nothing fancy but it did have that pool I wanted. After taking a quick look at the powder room we made our way upstairs. There were only four rooms up there. A master bed, a master bath, an office and a spare room.

  “I have to admit, I love the idea of being able to work from home.” I said as we made our way back towards the living room.

  “So you like it?”

  “Yes.”

  Danny bit her lip. She looked out the window for a few seconds. Her head tilted to the left. “I’m going to be honest with you, they’d take less than a mil for this place. If you’re interested, we’ll get the paper work done up right now, I can take you home and then I’ll give the client a call.”

  I stared at her blankly. “R-really?”

  “Yea, I’ll advise her to take the offer and honestly, I think she just wants to this over and done with. It was a place that she used to own with her ex-husband. Maybe we’ll be able to get you in within a couple weeks, with the right paper work anything is possible.”

  A smile touched my lips. “Wow… that’s… you’re so kind, thank you.”

  Danny shrugged and inclined her head towards the door. “Let’s get you home.”

  I followed her to the door and we slipped our shoes on. It seemed like it didn’t take any time to get from the house back home, and that was the best part. It would be close to my parents if I wanted to go home and see them.

  “Thank you.” I said as I turned to Danny.

  “You’ll be hearing from me soon.” She promised before I slipped out of the car and headed to my home, one that soon would no longer be called that. Danny reached out and took my hand. My heart skipped a beat she I watched her raise my hand higher and higher. Butterflies filled my stomach as Danny’s soft lips touched the top of my hand.

  Chapter Five

  “You should come over.”

  “What? Is everything okay?” I bit my lip, nervousness filled my stomach. “Have you heard back from the client about something?”

  “No, no everything is fine! I even found a moving company for you to use, if you’d like. They work with us closely so they should be happy to help out.”

  “Wow, you’ve been so helpful. I don’t think I can thank you enough.”

  There were a couple seconds of silence. “Actually, there is one thing.” She fell silent again. I waited still. “I’d like to have you over for dinner. Tonight.”

  My mouth fell open, unable to believe what I was hearing. “I think I can make that work.” I said softly, already trying to figure out what the fuck I was going to wear. “I will see you tonight.”

  “See you later.”

  I pulled the phone away from my ear and hung up before rushing for the stair case. I passed Rosa half way up but I didn’t have time to explain. I needed to make sure my flora dress was hanging in the closet otherwise I would have to find something else. There is no way I’d have time to iron it out.

  I burst into my room, the door hitting the wall as I rushed to my closet and pulled it open. Thankfully, the dress was hanging there. I blew out a deep breath. Calming down, and calming my pace, I reached for it. Slipping out of my jeans and tank top as I pulled the dress over my head and grabbed a hoodie. I pulled my hair into a bun and headed for my bathroom. First it was makeup and then it was my hair.

  It didn’t take me long to get my makeup done the way I wanted it, then again I didn’t do anything fancy. I tied my hair up into a careful bun and adjusted a couple strands to make sure it looked just right.

  Heading out of the bathroom and into my bedroom I reached for the black pumps in my closet and slipped into them. Finally I went with a simple silver necklace.

  By the time I made my way out of the bedroom I was feeling ready for a date. A hot date at that.

  “Rosa.” I stopped the house keeper at the door. She looked up at me with a smile.

  “You look nice.”

  “I’m going out. I… might be out late today.”

  “A date?” The woman’s eyes sparkled as if she already knew the answer.

  “Yes. But don’t tell mom, please.” I didn’t need everyone knowing just yet. I didn’t want everyone to think it was anything it wasn’t. Hell, I don’t even know what it is. And I hated that.

  I took the keys to the Jag and headed out of the house. The only reason I took the Jag is because it was at the end of the driveway. When I got inside I slipped out of my shoes and set them on the passenger seat before gunning the engine.

  The entire way there I couldn’t fight the nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach. I licked my dry lips, trying to calm myself down as I pulled into her parking lot. I can do this. I’ve been on a date before. But this wasn’t like any of the other dates I had been on. For some reason I actually cared about this one; about her.

  She was honest about who she was, even the first time I’d met her she hadn’t hidden who she really was. She had been honest- and that wasn’t something I was used to. I shifted the car into park, pulled the keys and stuffed them into my purse before grabbing my shoes and slipping them on.

  “Nice car!” She called. I glanced up to see her heading towards me. “And nice outfit. It looks amazing on you.” Her eyes roamed over my body. My cheeks flushed as I looked her up and down. She wore a slim fitting black skirt that came to her knees and a white sheer blouse. Very cute and vintage if I knew my clothing a quarter as well as I thought I did.

  “Love the top.” I slipped out of the car and closed the distance between us. I pulled her into a hug and my lips touched her cheek.

  “Thank you. Come on, I’ve got dinner in the oven.” Her lips touched my cheek before she pulled away and headed towards the condo I was parked in front of.

  She hadn’t given me the vibe that she was a condo kinda girl, but once I got inside I could see how this was her. The place itself was very simple and there wasn’t much in there, but everything looked like it had a reason for being there.

  The smell when we walked into the kitchen almost made my stomach grumble, and I hadn’t even realized I was hungry.

  “I hope you like chicken. I didn’t have much time to prep so it’s just something simple tonight.”

  “Simple is always better anyways.” Despite the fact that we had a maid and a housekeeper, my family was pretty normal. We ate the same stuff as most families did, we watched the same shows, listened to the same music. All that.

  I looked around her condo a little more, heading into the living room where I was surprised not to see a TV. Instead, there were shelves and shelves full of books. My head tilted to the left.

  I like the idea of not having a TV in my place.

  “How was work?” I called.

  “Good. I landed a couple more houses so I just have to hope that they are something that can pique the interest of someone, ideally someone with Four million just floating around.” As she spoke the voice came closer. I turned to see her standing in the doorway.

  “Well, if I find anyone who’s complaining about needing to spend some extra cash I’ll mention your name.”

  Danny’s eyes sparkled as she gave a laugh. “What did you do today?”

  “Research. There is some event on the weekend that I need to go to. I was, well, basically I was trying to decide how much to donate to the charity and how much would be a waste of money.”

  “And?”

  “And I have, once again, come to the conclusion that these charities take way too much profit.” I sighed turning towards the window and looking out at the skyline. “It pisses me off,” I admitted.

  “Of course it does.”

  “Here are these people who are… full of money. They have so much that no one will ever be able to spend it all before they die, even if they stopped working but here they are wanting more. Taking more from people who actually need it. Or animals, or causes. Whatever you w
ant to call it. It’s wrong. They don’t need more money.” My brow furrowed.

  Despite the fact I’d been raised here — in this world — I knew right from wrong. My parents had made sure of that, and I was thankful I didn’t turn out like some of my old friends.

  “For some people it will never be enough.”

  “I know you’re right… I just wish it wasn’t true. I wish… there was something I could do about it.”

  “Start your own charity. Put all your profits into it instead of doing what everyone else does.”

  I glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. It wasn’t a bad idea. It could actually work. And daddy might like being involved with it somehow. I mean… it would be good for business. And we could do our events and fundraisers. And we could make sure all the money went where it was supposed to go. It would be perfect.

  “Maybe, in due time.”

  Danny closed the distance between us. “You know why I came over to talk to you that first night?”

  “Why?”

  “Because you looked disgusted.” I raised an eyebrow, taken aback by what she said. I honestly had no clue how I was supposed to respond to that. “And I thought to myself ‘she looks like she would rather be anywhere but here’ I dug that. That appealed to me and… I don’t know… I guess I just wanted to go over there and talk to someone who looked like they understood where I was coming from. Someone who might understand me. I had no clue you were gay.” She looked away from me for a fraction of a second before meeting my eyes and smiling.

  “I’m glad you came over to talk to me. And I’m… glad you asked me out tonight.” I was, too. I wanted to get to know her. Even after I was moved into my place. Hell, maybe I would invite her over and we could get to know each other even more. I glanced back out the window. “You’ve got a great view.”

  “You should stay a little later. Once it’s dark the street lights come on all over the city… it’s amazing how breathless it is. Then again, if that doesn’t do it for you I could always try making you breathless.”

  My heart skipped a beat, unable to believe that she had actually just said that to me. Not that I minded, it just took me by surprise. A grin spread over my lips as my mind raced to come up with something cleaver.

  Ding!

  Again, my heart skipped a beat but not for the right reason.

  Danny glanced into the kitchen where the noise had come from. “I guess I’d better go check on dinner. I would hate to ruin it while you’re here.” She walked away without another word.

  I couldn’t’ care less about dinner right now. I thought, but I didn’t dare say it out loud.

  “Thank you so much for having it… it was an insane pleasure.” I closed the distance between us. I didn’t normally make the first move, mostly because I got nervous and wanted to see if people were going to come on to me or not, but not today. Today I wanted to make sure Danny and I kissed.

  So I took control.

  I reached out and touched her small hips. Her eyes locked on mine and to my surprise she didn’t move away. I knew I shouldn’t be surprised by that but I was just so used to people moving away, well… I wasn’t really used to any of this.

  Just go for it!

  I moved without thinking any more. I pulled her close to me, my lips crashing against hers. A soft moan passed through her lips as she reached out and wrapped her arms around my neck, her teeth grazed my lower lip. It was my turn to moan.

  “You know, you don’t have to leave if you don’t want.” She whispered as she pulled away from our kiss, still keeping her arms around me.

  “You have something in mind that we could do?”

  “Yes. But it would be best to go in the bedroom for that.” Her eyes sparkled as they locked on me. Her hands traced over the curves of my body.

  It had been a long time for me but the truth is, I wanted Danny.

  “Lead the way.” I said.

  She reached out and took my hand, leading me through the house. I didn’t pay any attention to be honest, for all I know I might have passed a Goya painting and I wouldn’t have given it a second glance. I followed her into the room where she flicked on the light. It was gorgeous, the big bed was really the only thing in there other than two night stands. Danny glanced over at me, a smirk spreading over her lips as she guided me over to the bed.

  “Get comfy. Take your dress off, I don’t want to get it dirty.” She looked me up and down. Her head tilted to the left. “Leave the shoes though.”

  I watched as she made her way over to one night stand and opened a small door on it. I raised an eyebrow as I saw the contents. The girl sure knew how to have fun. Honestly, it kinda put my own collection to shame.

  Slipping out of my dress I crawled onto the bed. My heart raced as she grabbed two things and joined me, pulling her own clothing off. Her eyes roamed over my body.

  “God, you’re fucking perfect.” She grinned, climbing on top of me. She settled down over my hips. She kissed my neck softly. I moaned, my eyes rolling back. My hands traced over the curves of her body, reaching her hips. My fingers dug into her as I rolled her onto her back. A wide grin spread over Danny’s face.

  My lips crashed against hers, the kiss growing from passionate to almost aggressive. Her fingers tangled into my hair.

  “Natalie.”

  My heart skipped a beat as she moaned my name. My lips pulled away from hers, trailing along her jawline and towards her neck. Her moans grew louder.

  She pulled away from me. I opened my mouth to protest, sitting up. Danny’s eyes sparkled.

  “Lay back down.” She ordered as she reached for a vibrator. My heart skipped a beat as I did what I was told. Not something that I was used to, though I had to admit I didn’t mind it too much coming from Danny.

  Danny turned the vibrator on and pressed it against me. I gasped, my eyes rolling back. My hips arched. I reached for something else she had lying on the bed. The dildo. A grin spread over Danny’s lips.

  “What’s that for?”

  “You.”

  I pulled away and pushed her down onto the bed gently. Without needing me to tell her Danny spread her legs. I took the vibrator from her and rested it against myself. The truth is, I knew I wouldn’t need long with it. My finger traced between Danny’s folds, making sure she was wet.

  Desire pooled in the pit of my stomach as I felt how wet she was. I slid the pink dildo into her gently. Danny gasped, her hips arching.

  “Oh fuck me.” She moaned.

  I did as she told me, the dildo sliding in and out of her soft and slow, growing harder and faster. Danny’s moans grew louder and louder. The vibrator buzzed against me as I slid it into my pussy, my fingers taking over on the outside. I moaned, careful to keep the dildo sliding in and out of her.

  Faster. Harder.

  My fingers fumbled over my clit. The dildo moved faster and faster, my fingers kept pace with how quickly I sild the toy in and out of Danny. Her fingers reached between her legs, rubbing herself as he eyes rolled back. I watched her body shift. A grin spread over my lips.

  I thrust the toy into her faster and faster. Danny moaned louder. Her eyes closed as her hips thrust into the air. She gasped, her hips grinding as I wiggled the toy inside her. Her fingers rubbed her clit frantically. Her hips thrusting up and down, the toy still inside her.

  Watching her was enough to send me over the edge.

  My eyes rolled back as everything went a hazy white.

  “Oh fuck,” I let out a soft moan as I thought about the way her body moved in front of me. Waves of pleasure surged through my body as I moaned. The vibrator buzzed inside me, my fingers massaged my clit faster and faster. I moaned loudly.

  “Cum for me, baby.” Danny whispered. I felt her hands against my breast. I gasped, my hips buckling. Another wave of pleasure surged through my body and another.

  I gasped. Another wave of pleasure, this one softer. The next so soft it was hardly there. I opened my eyes to see her staring down at me. A
wide grin spread over her lips as she pulled me into a kiss, her fingers tangling into my hair.

  As my body relaxed I pushed the vibrator out of me. A soft laugh passed through our lips as it landed between us. “God, that felt so fucking good. I didn’t realize you were going to send me over the edge so quickly.”

  I grinned widely. “I’d be happy to help any time.”

  She laughed as she pulled away from me and grabbed the toys. “I had expected to make use out of more than just two.”

  “Maybe next time.” My own words shocked me.

  “I’d love that.” She grinned, adding to my shock. I couldn’t believe that she had actually said she would like to do this again. I sucked in a deep breath trying not to make too big of a deal out of it. Holy shit, holy shit. She wants to do this again.

  Buzz. Buzz. We glanced down to the floor where a cell phone sat. No mine so it must have been hers.

  Danny’s nose wrinkled. “I’m sorry, I’ve got to get that.”

  “No worries.” I laughed softly. She was a busy woman. I knew that, I wouldn’t hold it against her.

  I watched as Danny grabbed the phone off the floor and lifted it to her ear.

  “Hello?” There was a short pause. Her cheeks went pink. “Yes, hi.”

  “Have you sealed the deal with her?” A man asked.

  I knew I wasn’t supposed to be able to hear the conversation, but I could and I was sure what whoever was talking was talking about me. I tried not to let on to the fact that I could hear, instead running my fingers through my hair or rubbing the base of my neck.

  “Yes.”

  “Good. She’s a good asset to have, I hope you know that. You’ve done well this month, a bonus is well over due for you.”

  “Oh I-” Danny gave me a tight smile and jumped off the bed. I watched as she headed out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

  As soon as the door was closed I rushed over to it.

  “I know she is…. Yes. Of course, I will. I’ll get the papers done up tomorrow morning. Alright… bye, sir.”

  Shit. I rushed to the bed and jumped in it, pulling the blankets over me. Was she talking about me? I honestly had no clue but I couldn’t ignore the feeling in my stomach. As much as I tried.
