Ginny's Good Day (A of Walnut Grove) by Kelly Adams (kelly_h_adams@hotmail.com)
Jackie woke up at about three in the morning to find an empty space next to her on the futon. The empty space belonged to Jackie's girlfriend, Ginny, as did the futon. Now that they had been dating for a few months, Jackie found that she was spending most nights at Ginny's. She wondered, and not for the first time, if she should just bite the bullet and officially move in with Ginny. She didn't know quite what was holding her back--probably the security in knowing that she still had a room at her parents' house to go back to. Then again, at twenty-eight it was high time that she left the security of her parents' place.
After a few minutes, when she realized that Ginny hadn't simply gotten up to go to the bathroom, Jackie got up from the futon to go look for her. She found a silk robe to slip on and went out of the bedroom.
Ginny's apartment was actually half a house, and it was built in such a way that the hallway outside of the rooms upstairs was a balcony that looked out over the dining and living rooms. From the balcony, Jackie could see Ginny standing naked down in the living room, looking out a window. The pale moonlight streamed in the window, illuminating Ginny's body in a soft glow. Jackie admired how comfortable Ginny always seemed to be with her body; Ginny would just as often be naked as clothed in the apartment, going about her daily business in the buff.
Jackie went down the stairs to her lover. The staircase squeaked so bad that there was no way to approach undetected, but still Ginny gave no sign of noticing.
"Is everything okay?" Jackie asked, coming up behind Ginny.
"I couldn't sleep," Ginny told her, still looking out the window.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. Well, there's this problem I'm working on at work--I can't seem to get a protein sequence to replicate properly--but that's not what's keeping me up."
"What is?"
"I dunno. It's just, well, things have been going so well in my life lately, I'm just worried that the other shoe is going to drop soon--that something bad is coming."
Jackie let out a soft chuckle. "So you're telling me that you're worried because everything is good?"
"Yeah. Kind of silly, huh?"
"A bit." Jackie opened the front of her robe and stepped in closer to Ginny's back, wrapping the two of them together in the fabric. She kissed the top of Ginny's head. "Why don't you come back to bed?"
"I don't think I can sleep," Ginny told her.
Jackie slid her right hand down Ginny's stomach, not stopping until she reached the vee between Ginny's legs. "Who said anything about sleeping?"
Ginny giggled quietly, and spread her legs apart slightly. Jackie applied gentle pressure as she rubbed the outside of Ginny's pussy. "Or maybe you'd like it better if I fucked you right here in the open window?"
"You can fuck me anywhere you want, lover," Ginny told her. She leaned down, putting her hands on the windowsill and pushing her ass back into Jackie's pelvis.
With her free hand, Jackie pushed Ginny's long black hair to one side, exposing Ginny's bare shoulder. She leaned forward to kiss it while she slid a finger up into Ginny's wet hole.
Ginny slowly gyrated her hips as Jackie gave her a good finger fucking. Ginny's steamed up the windowpane in front of her as her breaths came harder and faster, until finally she came with Jackie's fingers inside of her.
Ginny turned around, finally facing Jackie, and gave her lover a kiss. "Now I'm ready for bed," she said. She walked over to the bottom of the staircase, tugging Jackie along by the hem of Jackie's robe.
"Oh, now that you've come you're ready to sleep?"
"Who said anything about sleeping?" Ginny said with a grin, then turned and ran up the stairs.
-------------------------
Despite the fact that she hadn't gotten much sleep, the next morning went quite well for Ginny. She managed to finally solve that protein sequencing problem that had been vexing her all week, ironically due to a moment of inspiration she had when Jackie's expert tongue had pushed her into a second orgasm.
Ginny was sitting alone in the office that she shared with two other researchers when Jackie called.
"Hey sexy," Jackie said when Ginny picked up.
"Hey yourself," Ginny replied.
"How has your day been going?" Jackie asked.
"Really good. I finally solved that problem in the lab."
"That's great. I knew you could do it; you just needed the right inspiration!"
Ginny laughed; she hadn't told Jackie that she had been the one who had indirectly supplied the inspiration. "So what's up?"
"I can't talk long--because things have been pretty busy today here in the store--but while there's a lull I wanted to make sure to call you. I've got some news to share..."
"What is it?" Ginny asked, with a bit of trepidation.
"Don't worry, it's good news," Jackie assured her. "But I want to tell you about it over dinner tonight."
"Okay, sure. Where do you want to go?"
"How about to Justine's?"
"Wow, it must be pretty good news!" Ginny remarked. Justine's--named for its owner and head chef, Justine Shappee--was just about the swankiest restaurant around.
"That, and it's been a while since we've treated ourselves. How about I make us reservations for 7 o'clock, and I'll meet you there?"
"Sounds good. Are you sure you can't tell me about your news?" Ginny pleaded. "Even a hint?"
Jackie could easily see in her mind's eye Ginny's bottom lip pushing out in a cute little pout. "Sorry babe, you'll just have to suffer until tonight."
"You are such a tease!"
"Yeah, but you know you love it!"
-------------------------
"It is good that Jackie has finally found a nice as yourself. We will made you very beautiful for her, yes?"
"Yes please." Ginny was talking to Gizela, her hairdresser. Gizela immigrated to America from Czechoslovakia over twenty years ago, but still held on to her accent.
"We will do it up, like this." Gizela scooped up Ginny's hair and bundled it on top of Ginny's head. She wasn't so much asking Ginny as informing her.
Ginny had been slightly worried when she moved to small town Ohio that she wouldn't be able to find a stylist who could properly handle an woman's hair. But everyone she talked to insisted that Gizela was a miracle worker and could do no wrong with a pair of scissors, and they were absolutely right.
Ginny had been able to leave work an hour early, and was delighted that Gizela was able to squeeze her in at the last minute. She wanted to look extra special for Jackie this evening.
Gizela got right to work, giving Ginny a quick wash and then cutting. "I only wish that my Amalie could find a nice to settle down with. She is now twenty-seven--too to be still running around. I tell her that I have had three children by the time I was her age!"
Gizela talked as she cut. A lot. It was hard to get a word in.
"She is a very pretty girl. I ask her why she has not married, and she tells me she likes other girls. I say to her that that is fine, then she should find a nice woman to be with. Maybe you have a friend you could introduce her to?"
"Didn't you tell me that your is living in Pittsburgh, Gizela?" Ginny asked.
"Is no matter. Pittsburgh is not so far away. She should move back here anyway. The are nicer, and so is her mother's cooking."
When Gizela had finished, Ginny looked particularly stunning. She only had a few inches taken off, but Gizela had expertly folded it up on top of her head, leaving her neck and shoulders bare.
"I mean it," Gizela told Ginny as she paid. "You find a nice for my Amalie, I will make sure that she comes home to meet her."
"Okay Gizela." Ginny had a feeling that Gizela was quite serious.
"And you tell that Jackie that I said she is a very lucky woman to have you, yes?"
"Yes Gizela."
"Okay bye. You have a wonderful time at your dinner tonight."
"Thank you, I will."
Ginny went home and changed into her outfit for the evening, a black corset minidress, short and form-fitting. She put on a black cord choker around her neck, and put on a bit of clear lip gloss to top things off. She transferred her essentials from her everyday purse to a little black bracelet bag that matched her two-band pumps and was out of the door in time to make it to their reservations with a couple of minutes to spare.
-------------------------
Jackie was already waiting outside the restaurant when Ginny arrived. In contrast to Ginny's skimpy little black dress, Jackie was dressed nearly the opposite: a heather grey knit dress with long sleeves, a mock turtleneck and a full-length skirt. Jackie was showing almost no skin at all, but the dress was so form-fitting that not a single sexy curve was left to the imagination. It was also only the second time that Ginny could ever remember Jackie wearing any kind of dress; it made Ginny feel really special that her girlfriend would dress up for her.
"Hi beautiful!" Jackie said, giving Ginny a warm welcome kiss.
"Hi yourself. I love your dress." Ginny placed her hand on Jackie's side, slowly running it from the side of Jackie's down the curve of her torso to her hip.
"Yours too. And I love your hair up like that." Jackie's placed her hand on Ginny's bare neck, softly rubbing the base with her finger.
Ginny looked into her girlfriend's eyes and saw the most caring, loving soul she had ever known. She knew, at that moment, that she was completely, totally, irreversibly in love. It was a small moment, but one of crystal clarity.
Their reverie was interrupted by the sound of a couple leaving the restaurant. "We should probably go in," Jackie said.
"Yeah," agreed Ginny, dreamily.
"Are you okay?"
"What?" Ginny asked, focusing. "Oh yes, fine."
"Good." Jackie held the door open for Ginny and followed her inside.
They were greeted inside the door by Kate, Justine's niece who was visiting for the year from Australia. The fifteen-year-old auburn-haired cutie was wearing a short white skirt and a bright, multi-colored floral top. "Hi, can I help you?" she asked, her accent only mildly softened from spending the last nine months in the states.
"Reservations for two," Jackie told Kate. "Under 'Moll.'"
Kate checked her reservation book. "Yup, here you are," she said, crossing off Jackie's name. "Right this way."
Justine's was a small restaurant; officially it sat only twenty, though she had been known to squeeze thirty into the dining area if all of the people were really good friends. Kate led Ginny and Jackie to a table near the rear, next to a window that looked out over a lea that stretched out behind the building.
"I'll be right back with your waters," Kate said after the two women had been seated.
"Wow, Kate has really changed," Jackie remarked. "And definitely for the better."
"Really?"
"Yeah. When she first came here nine months ago, she was a shy mousy wallflower. Now look at her. I bet that she's become quite the little heartbreaker."
"Here you go," Kate said as she returned to the table and set down two glasses of water.
"Thanks dear," Jackie said. "Hey, how much longer will you be in town?"
"Oh, at least until the end of the school year," Kate said. "I'm supposed to go back home sometime this summer..."
"I sense a 'but' there," Jackie prompted.
"It's just... I kind of really like it here," Kate said, looking a bit bashful. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I miss me mum and all, but I also really like it here staying with Uncle Taylor and Aunt Justine."
"Yeah, this town really grows on you," Ginny said.
"Must be something in the water," Jackie added, giving Ginny a wink. Ginny smiled, picked up her glass, and took a huge gulp. The three of them laughed.
"Aunt Justine will be with you right away," Kate said. "Enjoy your meal."
Justine's didn't have a regular wait staff, or even menus. Instead, Justine would come out of the kitchen and talk to the diners a bit. She would then decide what she was going to cook for you, based on your mood, what she knew you liked, and what she had on hand in the kitchen that evening. You could make suggestions, but Justine wouldn't always follow them. You were pretty much at Justine's mercy, but for most diners it was a mercy worth being at.
"Hello girls!" Justine said as she came to Jackie and Ginny's table. A in her early forties, Justine always managed to look great, even after having spent all evening in the kitchen. "You are all dressed up this evening, I see. What is the special occasion?"
"We're celebrating some good news," Jackie told Justine.
"Yeah," Ginny chimed in, "except that Jackie here hasn't yet told me what that news is..."
"All in good time, my sweet," Jackie told her.
"Well ladies, I'm feeling very much like seafood tonight," Justine said, almost a question but more of a statement.
"Seafood sounds wonderful," Jackie told her.
"Mmmm, yes," Ginny agreed.
"Good," Justine said. "Now Jackie, don't make this poor wait any longer; tell her your news, and I'll have Kate bring out your salads just as soon as they're ready."
Once Justine had left their table, Ginny got Jackie's attention by giving a light kick to her shin. "Okay girl, you heard the chef. No keeping mum any longer; you have to sing for your supper!"
"All right, all right," Jackie said. "This morning when I got into the store, my had news for me: they're ready to retire."
"Does that mean...?"
"Yes it does. The store is mine."
"Oh Jackie, that's wonderful!" Ginny said it so loud that everyone in the restaurant turned to look. "Oops, sorry..."
"No honey, that's okay," Jackie assured her. "It *is* wonderful."
"So when...?"
"In about a month. We still have a lot of details to work out, but I've already talked to Gretchen and she's agreed to help us iron out all of the financials."
"You mean Gretchen knew before I did?" Gretchen, a mutual friend, had introduced Ginny to Jackie when Ginny first moved to Walnut Grove a few months ago.
"Don't worry, I swore her to secrecy," Jackie said.
"Yeah, but you know that'll only last until somebody offers her chocolate or sex," Ginny explained.
"Oh, that's true," Jackie said, laughing. "Guess the news will be all over town by tomorrow morning then."
"That's okay, I forgive you."
"Good. Obviously I don't get the entire store; my Shannon will get a share, though since she's off being a new professor she won't be anything but a silent partner. And and Dad will maintain a small share too and help out when they're not off traveling. But mostly, it's now mine."
"What was all the shouting about?" Kate asked as she brought Jackie's and Ginny's salads to the table.
"Jackie's are retiring and she's getting the store," Ginny explained.
"That's the hardware store out on Leffler Street, right?" Kate asked.
"That's the one," Jackie confirmed. "Hey, you know, if you're ever looking for more work, we could use another pair of hands to help out."
"No thanks, Aunt Justine keeps me quite busy working here." A bell rang at the from of the restaurant, indicating that someone was coming in. "I have to go see who that is," Kate told them. "Enjoy your meal!"
"Thanks," Jackie said.
"So, I have..." Ginny began, but realized that Jackie was distracted. "What are you looking at?" she asked.
"Up front, at the who just came in," Jackie told her.
Ginny turned to get a look. Kate was talking to another who had long brown hair and was about her age, wearing a green flowered skirt and a sleeveless orange top. "Must be a friend of Kate's," she said, turning back to Jackie.
"More than friends, I think," Jackie told her. "Take another look."
Ginny turned her head and looked again. The other had her hand resting lightly on Kate's arm and was smiling, with subtle body language indicating an attraction between the two that went beyond ordinary schoolgirl friendship. "Oh yes, I see it now."
"Isn't love sweet?" Jackie remarked.
"That it is," Ginny agreed. "You realize that those are about half our age, don't you?"
"Stop it; you're going to make me feel old."
"Hey, you're the one who's now a business owner," Ginny said. "That's one more step towards permanent adulthood."
Jackie started eating her salad. "You were going to say something?" she asked Ginny.
"Oh yeah, I have some news too," Ginny said.
"Good news or bad news?"
"I'm not quite sure. It kind of depends."
"Well, what is it?"
"I got a call this afternoon from my landlord," Ginny said. "She's going to sell the house."
"What? Why?"
"Well, you know the woman who lives in the other half of the house..."
"Yeah, sweet Mrs. Whitaker. She's your landlord's mother, right?"
"Uh huh. And Mrs. Whitaker got really sick three months ago, and can't live on her own anymore, so she has to go into assisted living. Carol says it doesn't make sense anymore for them to own a rental property, and she's decided to sell."
"So, while it's sad about your neighbor, this is good news for you."
"What do you mean?"
"This means that you can buy the house," Jackie explained.
"Buy it?" Ginny was incredulous. "Honey, I make good money at the lab, but it will be several more years until I've saved up enough money for the down payment on a house."
"Well, we could buy the house together."
"We?"
"Yeah. I've got some money saved up, so between the two of us we should be able to put enough money down and make the mortgage payments," Jackie told her, getting excited.
"Wait a minute, are you saying that you want us to move in together?" Ginny asked.
"I... Yes, I guess I am," Jackie said. "That is, if you want to..."
"I... I mean..." Ginny was speechless. She certainly wasn't expecting this. Given the way things went the last time she lived with a woman, she hadn't really planned on settling down with someone else for quite some time. But then, she really liked Jackie, and the two of them got along remarkably well. Maybe they should move in together.
"Once we own the whole house, we can knock down the dividing walls and restore it back to its original state." Jackie said, obviously excited by the prospect. "This will be so cool! What do you say?"
Ginny wanted to be sure that Jackie was serious, and not just caught up in the moment. "Jackie, this is more than just buying a house," she said. "We're talking about living our lives together."
"I know." Jackie reached across the table and grabbed hold of Ginny's hands. "Ginny, I love you. I want to spend my life with you. I hope that you feel the same way."
"Jackie, you're... you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." Saying it out loud made it real. Ginny was so happy that she started to cry. "Yes. Yes yes yes. I want to spend my life with you too."
Jackie took Ginny's face in her hands and pulled her across the table to kiss her. "I love you," she said, softly.
"And I love you."
"This is... this is... Wow."
"Yeah. Wow," Ginny agreed.
-------------------------
Ginny and Jackie could hardly wait to finish their dinners. Not because the food was bad--quite the contrary, it was excellent even by Justine's usual high standards--but because they both desperately wanted to get home and christen the new stage in their relationship. And since they arrived separately, they had to drive home separately as well, adding further to the anticipation.
Ginny managed to make it home about a minute before Jackie. She saw that the message light was blinking on the answering machine but decided to ignore it--after all, the message wasn't going anywhere and would still be around after she finished fucking Jackie silly.
"Hi there lover!" Ginny greeted Jackie with a kiss as she came in the back door into the kitchen.
Jackie kissed her back, deep and long, probing Ginny's mouth with her tongue. "Let's go upstairs," she suggested.
"Okay. Race you!" Ginny challenged, kicking off her shoes and bounding through the dining room and up the stairs.
In her long dress, there was no way that Jackie could even think of matching Ginny's speed, so she let Ginny go, opting instead to go up the stairs at a more leisurely pace. By the time she reached the bedroom, Ginny had already taken off her dress and was standing naked next to the futon.
"C'mon, hurry up and get naked," Ginny implored.
Jackie smiled. Ginny was very cute when she was horny and impatient. "Here, help me with the zipper," she asked, turning her back to Ginny.
Ginny pulled Jackie's zipper down all the way to the top of Jackie's ass, the peeled the two halves of the dress aside, exposing Jackie's bare back. Ginny began kissing along Jackie's spine, starting up near the shoulder blades and slowly working down.
Jackie peeled her dress off from the front, then pushed down, wriggling past her hips so that it dropped to the floor. She then turned around and took Ginny into her arms. "You are the nicest, smartest, most beautiful woman I have ever known," she said, looking into Ginny's brown eyes. "I am so in love with you."
"You make every day that I am with you special," Ginny told Jackie. "And every night divine."
Jackie lowered her girlfriend down to the mattress, laying on top of her. They kissed, sweetly at first, then more hungrily as the passion grew between them. Their pressed together as they began to move their bodies, building up the heat of desire. The only chemistry Ginny was thinking about now was between her and Jackie as their naked bodies slid over each other.
Ginny placed her hands on Jackie's ass, pulling so that Jackie moved up her body until her thighs were around Ginny's head. Ginny began to lick around just inside of Jackie's outer lips, enjoying every nook and cranny of her girlfriend's sweet pussy. She licked Jackie's clit and slit until Jackie came, Ginny's name escaping from her mouth while in the throes of a deeply felt orgasm.
They made love for well over an hour, each woman doing her best to please the other. The closeness they now shared made it special, better than the horny, friendly sex that had characterized the beginning of the relationship. They felt connected to each other in a way that neither of them had ever dared to hope.
When they were finally through, they lay in bed next to each other, holding hands and gently caressing with soft touches.
"So, how soon can you move in?" Ginny asked.
"This weekend, if that's okay with you," Jackie replied.
"I think I can hold out that long," Ginny remarked with a grin.
"Obviously I'll have to wait until we buy the house and knock down the walls before I can move all of my things," Jackie told her. "But I'll get all my essentials moved over now and we can start our new lives together."
"Together," Ginny said. "I like the sound of that."
"Me too," Jackie agreed.
A minute passed before either of them said anything. "I'm hungry," Ginny announced, breaking the silence.
"Hungry?" Jackie had never known a woman so who could pack it away like Ginny could.
"Well, we did skip dessert," Ginny explained.
"I thought that this was our dessert," Jackie remarked.
"Yeah, but this was the kind that burns off calories," Ginny told her. "Now I'm in desperate need of some sugar."
"There should still be some chocolate ice cream in the freezer," Jackie reminded Ginny.
"Mmmm, that sounds perfect," Ginny said, sitting up. "Do you want some too?"
"Of course! Just let me go to the bathroom and I'll be right down to join you."
"Okay, but hurry up--I'd hate to have to eat it all up without you," Ginny teased.
They got up from the futon and shared a light kiss before parting, Jackie into the bathroom and Ginny downstairs to the kitchen.
When Jackie finished, she washed her hands and headed downstairs. Ginny had two bowls of ice cream fixed and on the dining table, but she was standing at the answering machine, listing to the message:
"Hi, um, Ginny," a woman's voice said over the machine. "It's Karla."
"Oh my god," Ginny said, her voice quivering. Karla, Jackie remembered, was the name of Ginny's former girlfriend, back when Ginny had lived in Seattle. Jackie didn't know all of the details, but she knew that Ginny and Karla's relationship had been tumultuous, and had ended quite badly. So badly that Ginny ended up moving more than halfway across the country to get away.
"Listen," the voice continued, "I know that you said you didn't want to hear from me again. And I know that I probably have no right to be calling you like this. But I've made some changes in my life, and I've gotten some help, and I'm much better. But I miss you. I know that it will take a lot for me to make things up to you, but I want to at least try. Please, Ginny. Give me a call, so we can talk, okay?"
The message went on a little longer, but by that point Ginny was in tears. Jackie crossed the room and took Ginny in her arms.
"How... how could she?" Ginny asked, sobbing. Jackie had no reply. She just continued to hold Ginny tight while Ginny cried, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Jackie softly petted Ginny's hair, rocking her girlfriend gently. "It will be okay," she said, trying to be reassuring.
But Ginny continued to cry.
[the end, and to be continued]
