Love Quotes

"Hands do now what eyes no longer defend,

Hands to fuel desire."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kelly's eyes closed as she let the hot water from the shower fall over her. She took a deep breath, tilting her head to one side then the other, trying to relieve some of the strain in her shoulders. She felt a small smile forming as someone stepped in behind her, a pair of familiar arms wrapping around her stomach.

"Let me help you with that," Carrie offered, lightly kissing along her neck.

Kelly sighed in content, leaning back into her, "It feels so good to have you here."

"I know; the past couple days have sucked," she agreed, kissing her cheek.

"Who's all here?"

"Just us. Jason and Ashley just left to go pick up some take out."

"That's good."

Carrie nodded, turning her around in her arms. She smiled as she leaned forward, kissing her, their lips slipping together as the water fell over them. "I missed you," she whispered, pulling back a hair, her hands gliding over the other girl's hips

"Me too," Kelly replied, her fingers following the path the water trailed down her spine.

"It's gonna suck when one of us has to go on tour."

"I can't wait," Kelly grinned.

"You can't wait?"

"If it feels this good being near you after only a couple days, imagine what it'll feel like after being apart for a couple weeks."

Carrie's eyes lit up as she pushed forward, pinning the Texan to the shower wall, kissing her firmly as Kelly wrapped her arms around her, pressing their bodies together.

Ashley raised an eyebrow as the two singers walked into the dining room, both of their hair still damp from the shower.

Kelly pointed at her in warning, unable to hide her smile as she sat down, pulling one of the containers of Chinese food to her.

"So how was the rest of your day?" Jason asked, looking up at Carrie.

"It was good, but I'm so thankful to have an early night tonight. I swear I've been working till like two in the morning the past few mornings, and then had to get up at like six."

"I know the feeling," Kelly nodded, fixing Carrie a plate of noodles before fixing her own.

"So you tried out the guest shower?" Jason smiled proudly. "I just installed that new shower head yesterday. Isn't it awesome? It has like twelve different settings. I figured you'd need a better one than the old one. No one really used that one before, so we hadn't changed it since we moved in, but now since you'll be here a lot, I thought it was a good idea."

Carrie turned red, "Um, yea, it was great. Thanks."

Ashley snickered.

"There's this one setting where the water actually pulsates. It's supposed to feel like a massage. Did you try that one?"

"Um, nope, can't say I did," Carrie looked down at her noodles.

"Well, when you get a chance, try it out and let me know. If you don't like it, I can change it again for you."

"Sure..."

"Jay," Ashley laughed.

"What?" he turned to her.

"Ashley, no, it's fine."

"Hate to burst your bubble," Ashley ignored Carrie's protests. "But I don't think the guest shower will be getting much use."

"Ash..." Kelly groaned.

"What do you mean?" he looked at her, confused.

"I think Cowgirl here prefers a different shower," Ashley nodded towards Kelly.

"What? Oh-oh...but just now...that would mean..." he looked between his baby sister and girlfriend confusedly before blushing. "Oh...my bad."

Carrie winced. "I'm sorry, Jason. I really appreciate what you did. It means a lot that you'd go through that much effort to make me more at home, I just..." she looked at Kelly.

"No, no, it's fine," he laughed nervously. "I just wasn't thinking. That's not..." he motioned to the two of them. "That's not something I generally think about with her being my sister and all."

"I get it," Carrie nodded, offering a smile. "And I mean, the whole pulsating shower thing sounds fun. May have to try it out."

Ashley laughed, and Kelly shook her head as Jason turned a deeper shade of red.

"This goes along with me not being allowed to talk in interviews, right?" Carrie turned to Kelly.

Kelly nodded, kissing her lightly.

"I didn't mean it in a dirty way."

"I know," she smiled, kissing her again. "Let's just eat, ok?"

"Good idea," Jason agreed.

"She needs to feel that fire,

The one that lets her know for sure,

She's everything I want and more,

A real desire."

Carrie stood calmly, her hands clasped together as she waited a few yards behind the short Texan who was on her knees at the foot of the small grave. She talked softly, replacing the flowers she had brought the previous week with fresh ones. Carrie saw Kelly reach back with one hand, and she walked forward, taking it in her own.

"I'm not gonna be here for a couple weeks," Kelly explained. "All my promo for my new album is starting up. I wish you could've heard it. I think you really would've liked it. So, what I'm trying to say is I won't be able to visit for a while, but Carrie's promised that when I'm gone she'll come visit," Kelly looked up, over her shoulder at the country singer standing behind her.

Carrie nodded with a soft smile, "I promise."

Kelly brought the taller girl's hand to her lips, kissing it softly before standing.

"You ready?" Carrie asked gently.

"Yea," Kelly nodded. "Sweet dreams, Munchkin. Nothing else."

"Bye Alex," Carrie gave a soft wave before wrapping an arm around her fellow idol as they walked back to the car.

"You'll behave?" Kelly smiled as she sat on the sofa with Carrie in her lap.

"Define behave..."

"Dirty text messages and phone calls are totally allowed as long as I'm the recipient."

"Ooo, fun," she grinned.

Kelly laughed, kissing her softly.

"You ok?" Carrie asked gently, tugging playfully on one of the Texan's curls. "You always seem sad after you visit Alex."

"Well, you can't expect me to be jumping for joy."

"True."

"But I'm ok," Kelly assured her, kissing her again. "Thanks for coming with me."

"Anytime you need, I'm here."

"So how's your week looking?"

"Hectic," Carrie sighed. "But I got your schedule from Jason, so if I get a long afternoon off, I'll fly out to meet you."

"Care, you don't have to do that. I don't want you to wear yourself out."

"Flying isn't gonna be what wears me out."

"No?"

Carrie shook her head, "No. Me doing very, very naughty things to you backstage of some talk show? That's gonna be what wears me out, and I'm totally ok with that."

Kelly giggled, blushing slightly, "I'm looking forward to it."

"Mmm," Carrie pressed their lips together. "You sure we don't have time right now?"

"Jason already honked the horn three times."

"Dang..."

Kelly kissed the tip of her nose, "Call me when you get in from the studio tonight?"

She nodded, "Text me when your flight lands?"

"Of course," she kissed her once more on the lips.

Carrie smiled, standing as she pulled the Texan to her feet, "Have fun. It's a great album, so enjoy it."

"I will," Kelly gave her hands a gentle squeeze before turning to walk to the door. She stopped as she turned the knob, feeling her phone vibrate. She pulled it out reading the text. Kelly turned around, raising an eyebrow, "You think you can wait till I at least get on the plane before you start sending dirty texts?"

Carrie grinned, "What? You look really good from behind. I couldn't help it."

Kelly motioned for her with her finger.

Carrie's eyes lit up as she crossed the room. She took the shorter girl' face in her hands, kissing her firmly.

Jason honked the horn for the fourth time.

Kelly's face was flushed as she pulled back. "And for the record," she motioned to her phone. "Gladly."

"Kell..." Carrie groaned, pressing against her.

Kelly laughed softly, "Go take a cold shower."

"How about I take a hot shower and think of you," her voice was low.

Kelly swallowed hard, "Call me tonight. I want the details."

Carrie nodded before kissing her hungrily.

Kelly felt herself moaning into the other girl's mouth, her hands forcing their hips together.

Jason honked a fifth time.

Kelly pulled back breathlessly, "You better call me tonight."

"Deal," Carrie agreed.
