night time talks

Carrie's pov.





Carrie lay back on the bed listening to the music coming from her office, it made her want to throw up, or even better go next door and make him choke on that guitar he seemed to love so much. She could hear Jeanne humming along in the kitchen, as she cooked. She had tried listening out for Kelly but couldn't hear the blond moving around. They hadn't spoke at all since last night and Carrie was beginning to think she had done something wrong for the shorter blond to stay away from her so much.



She wondered if she should get up or not, it was now late into the afternoon and her stomach was beginning to ache. Back in the old days Kelly would be running around after her wife making sure her hangover passed as quickly as possible but now she was left in a dark room to deal with it herself.



'Throwing the covers back Carrie slowly climbed out of bed, she looked down realising she was very naked, her first thought was to walk out naked and really upset Jeanne but she knew Kelly would be pissed. So grabbing her robe she tip toed out passed the office door toward the kitchen.



'Using and abusing my kitchen utensils? Jeanne didn't even look up from the stove to answer her daughter in law.



'Im cooking lunch for Kelly and Graham...' Carrie looked down at the burgers.



'Meat again?' Carrie quizzed. Jeanne sighed.



'Listen...i have no time for fussy people......here I bought you an apple.....' Jeanne pushed the apple into Carrie's hands as she turned back to the stove.



'Where's my wife?'



'She wanted to be alone....i dont know where she went.........' Carrie made her way towards the back door knowing Jeanne knew exactly where Kelly would be. ' I said she wanted to be alone....'



'I heard you.....i want to be alone too....' Carrie made sure to slam the back door extra hard as she made her way towards the tree house at the bottom of the garden. The family before who owned the house had built it for their children and Kelly fell in love with it the moment she first saw it. Not that it was like any other tree house, this one had an upstairs and Kelly managed to fit in it very easily.



'Kelly?.....' Carrie popped her head inside seeing her wife reading.





Kelly's pov





'I thought you were sleeping......' Kelly's heart ached a little as she saw how pale her wife was.



'He's playing music in my office......and she's cooking meat in my kitchen....' Kelly winced at the angry in Carrie's voice.



'I did tell them to be quiet.........'



'They don't listen.....' Carrie squeezed into the small space next to Kelly.



'You cold?...' Carrie pointed to the blanket on Kelly's knee.



'Yea.....' Kelly watched as Carrie began to giggle..' what?'



'You remember when we first moved in here?.......you wanted to built an open fire place in here...' Kelly covered her mouth.



'Yea...till you informed me that it was a tree house......' Kelly giggled along with her wife.



'Yea.....wood and fire .......took you forever to understand why it wasnt a good idea......'



'And you told everyone....'





flashback...





'Baby..ill explain it again....you put wood in the fire and it burns......' Kelly's cheeks turned red as she realised what Carrie was saying.



'Yea ok...forget I said anything....'



'Oh hell no...'Carrie pulled out her phone. ' im calling Ashley now....' Kelly jumped on her girlfriend trying her best to get the phone from her.



'If you ever want kisses from me again you wont dare......Kelly screamed as Carrie held onto her tight. She had stopped struggling with her, now she was enjoying the movement of her girlfriend on top of her. Kelly quickly caught on to what Carrie was doing. 'Hey...'



'Took you long enough...you were wiggling around there for ages........'



'You better start being good to me or i'll tell my mother we are now living in sin........' Carrie grew serious.



'Your mother hates me....'



'Oh she does not....'



'Kelly the woman's head spins every time she has to talk to me......i swear she only puts up with me for you....'



'Lets forget her now......i want to stay here tonight...' Carrie pulled back from her girlfriend.



'Our first night in our new house and you want to sleep in an old treehouse?' Carrie smiled watching her girlfriend shrug.



'IT feels cosy.....plus we wont have to move now........' Kelly lay flat on top of her girlfriend. ' we can stay exactly like this...'



'Yea I dont think so...my butt will be frozen.....' Kelly raised herself up onto her arms as she looked down on her girlfriend.



'But I can keep you warm....' Carrie ok about three seconds before agreeing.





End of Flashback





'It was a good a good nights sleep...'Carrie shrugged.



'You cold?........' Kelly held up her blanket welcoming carrie inside.





Carrie's pov.





She had spend a nice afternoon just sitting next to her wife in the tree house as they both read from the same book. She could hear Jeanne coming out from the house every half hour hoping Kelly would budge. When the young texan had finally gave in and followed her mother inside Carrie stayed where she was enjoying the silence of the treehouse rather than the horrible atmosphere of her house.



'Now she sat and watched as Kelly got ready, she and jeanne were going to watch Graham's gig. Apparently Kelly had promised and she never went back on a promise. Carrie saw the night as a way for them to be alone with Jeanne at the gig but Kelly couldn't say no. So now Carrie sat sulking on the bed as Kelly slipped into her jeans.



'When I get back we can watch a dvd or something......'



'I'll be sleeping......' Carrie looked up hearing Kelly sigh.



'We had a nice afternoon......please lets not start again.....i'll be home before midnight.......' Kelly waited for an answer. 'Can you stay awake till midnight...' she pushed.



'I can try....' Carrie tried to sound that she wasn't bothered.



'Thank you......' Kelly leaned over the bed leaving a kiss on Carrie's lips before going off to meet her mother.





..........................................





Carrie sat looking at the blank screen of her computer, she tried hitting it again but the thing still wouldn't turn on. Hitting it one last time she stood turning to the window. It was only ten, another two hours before Kelly would get home. She thought about going to the club and joining them but knew that would only upset Jeanne and she didn't want to risk another fight with Kelly. Her wife was right, they had had a good day no point ending it on a bad note. She decided to wander round the house, first starting in the living room. Looking through the pictures that covered the wall, all telling their own story all part of their journey together. Her eye caught the picture sitting on fire place they both looked so happy in it. It was the first time she had ever met Jeanne and they were both still pretending to be just friends, so the weekend with Jeanne and Kelly's school friends was an odd one. Thank god for Ashley or Carrie thought she would have ran for the hills.





Flashback.





'So no hand holding.....no long hugs and really no kissing.......' Carrie nodded along as Kelly gave her the rules for the weekend. They were driving up to Jeanne's in Carrie's car, it would be the first meeting with Kelly's family and the taller blond was afraid. Kelly had told her horror stories from her childhood and Carrie really didn't want to be added into that pile of stories.



'what happens when we're alone?..... can I kiss you then..'



'Only when the doors locked.....'



'Wow.....you run a tough ship.....'



'Im firm but fair...'Kelly joked. ' oh...we're here....' Carrie looked out at the large house in front of her. She could already see the curtains twitch as they climbed out the car.



'She's watching us.....'



'I know....that's what she does....give her a minute and she'll be out...' As if Kelly could read her mothers mind the older woman came bounding out of the house with Ashley following close behind.



'Baby...' Carrie felt herself being pushed to the side as Jeanne went to hug her daughter.



'Hey mom......ash...' Ashley stood beside Carrie as the older woman fussed over her daughter.



'Ashley.....the best friend...' Ashley held out her hand.



'Carrie...... said accepting the outreached hand.



The rest of the night was spent with Jeanne ignoring her and Kelly trying her best to work between the two to keep everyone happy. The house soon filled with Kelly's friends all wanting to spend time with their friend. Carrie soon found herself sitting alone in the kitchen as the group joked in the other room.



'Too much?.....' Carrie looked up seeing her girlfriend standing beside her, she held onto the counter and tried her hardest to sit up on it. After the second attempt and failing she casually rested her back against it like she didn't want to sit up on it at all.



'You want a hand?....'Carrie asked through a smile.



'You could have helped me the first time....'Kelly huffed. 'Now your just pointing out that im short....' Carrie moved in front of her placing her hands on Kelly's hips as she helped the blond to sit up. Kelly automatically spread her legs until the taller blond was standing in the middle of them her hands still on her hips.



'This is breaking one of the rules you know....'Carrie pointed out.



'They are to busy fighting over who wins at scramble.......' Carrie leaned over resting her head on Kelly's shoulder.



'They're all really.......'



'Loud......'Kelly finished for her, she watched as Carrie tried not to smile.



'So much....'she confessed....' I cant wait till bed time......' Kelly's eyes grew big as she moved in closer..



'And it's the same bed....' she whispered onto Carrie's lips.



'Thank god....' Carrie laughed. ' I so didn't want to be sneaking around a house I dont know just to steal kisses from you.' Kelly smiled wrapping her legs around Carrie's waist causing the talling blond to come closer to her. She took a look at the door making sure no one was there before she pulled Kelly down for a kiss. Her lips lighting brushing over the Texan's as they enjoyed the feeling of being together again. They were soon pulled apart by a noise from the kitchen door.



'Ash.....'Kelly whispered as Ashley stood frozen to the spot. Carrie quickly let go of the blond and she was at her best friends side leading her over to the table. ' Don't freak out.....'



'This isn't freaking out.....'Ashley pointed out. 'Me freaking out would be screaming and everyone running in to see...this is calm.......' Carrie looked towards her girlfriend who at the moment was so scared looking all she wanted to do was reach out and hold her.



'Im sorry Ashley.....'



'Your not.....'Ashley interrupted. 'You looked pretty happy doing it........'Ashley looked to Carrie but all the blond could do was hid behind her girlfriend. ' Well come on then....tell me how all this happened.



Carrie sat quietly for the next twenty minutes as Kelly filled her best friend in on their big secret. Ashley took it all pretty well, she didn't go running off and telling everyone and she soon became the number one supporter of the couple.





'End of Flashback





Carrie placed the picture back up on the fire place as she moved out of the living room and towards the bedroom. The bedroom they had shared all their married life. She loved the room, it held so many great memories all carrie had to do was sit in it and she felt calm again. Her eyes caught Kelly's laptop on the bed, she decided she would try downloading some albums to pass her time. She shook her head as she saw how messy the desktop was, Kelly had everything all over the place, old files she didn't even need anymore. Being the neat freak she was Carrie couldn't think straight until she cleaned up the computer a little. As she searched through the files her eyes caught something familiar. There like it was hidden away was a file called chat. The moment she clicked on it her heart sank, she had been caught. Everything she had talked about with Lonelywife was saved onto Kelly's computer. She scrolled through the hours of chat and soon realised the reason for it being on Kelly's computer. She could laugh if it wasnt so bad. For months now she had thought she was cheating on Kelly with a stranger online and it now turned out that her wife was the stranger online. Hearing the front door open Carrie quickly shut down the computer as she jumped into bed. Her mind was racing, she didn't know what to think, the new information she had now made her life just a little bit harder. laying still on the bed she heard the bedroom door open.
