The bathroom door opened and Serenity walked in. Hannah who stared into the mirror, smiled, before locking gaze with her lover.Serenity took slow, calculative steps towards Hannah and when she stood inches from her, she wrapped her arms around her waist. Just as Serenity leaned in for a kiss, Hannah ducked her head. Serenity’s brows Crest inwards and Hannah stared at her sternly.“Who is she?” She asked. A knowing smile appeared on Serenity’s face, immediately catching into Hannah’s demeanor. She’d never seen Hannah jealous, or in the least bit insecure about their relationship. She acted more out of rage than jealousy from the incident with Helene. Serenity wanted to make the most of it. She wanted to see just how far jealousy could make her go.“Who is who?” Serenity asked back, feigning oblivion. Using her nose, she tilts Hannah’s face, finding comfort in the crook of Hannah’s neck.Serenity’s hands left Hannah’s waist and found her neck, gently circling her arms around it as she
Hannah"Mind telling me what that was?" Serenity asked in between breaths. As soon as they made it to the elevator, both women slammed their lips together, their backs hitting every corner of the elevator. It was a miracle the elevator didn't stop on any of the floors on its way up. "Are you sure?" Hannah asked, barely unable to tear her lips from Serenity's. "No," Serenity answered, before seizing Hannah's lips in hers. Hannah moaned when Serenity's hands flew to her bottom, grabbing and squeezing it hard. Then, Serenity kissed Hannah's jaw, gently biting her chin before making her way to Hannah's neck. "You smell delicious, baby" Serenity whispered groggily, almost as if she was intoxicated from Hannah's smell. One after the other, Hannah's clothes dropped to the ground, as did Serenity. Now, Hannah took the lead, kissing all over Serenity's chest, making her way down to her chiselled stomach. Dipping her lips in Serenity's navel, Hannah's hand flew to her center, grabbing the s
Hannah The loud and continual bang on the door made both Hannah and Serenity stir and grumbled in their sleep. Both woman, who were wrapped in each others arms, entangled themselves further and went back to sleep.Then came another bang. And another. And another. Until Hannah groaned in frustration and struggled to come out of Serenity’s hold. “Hannah! You need to wake up,” Rachel’s impatient and loud voice came from the other end of the door. As Hannah fought to cover her body with a robe, more bangs echoed.“Jesus fucking Christ, Rachel! I’m coming. No need to tear down the door,” Hannah grumbled, tying the knot of the robe firmly around her waist. The door flew ajar, an exasperated look lingered on Hannah’s face.“You better have a fucking damn good reason for waking us up,” Hannah spat.Rachel ignored her outburst. “You need to come down stairs. Your mother is at the reception causing a scene,”Hannah’s heart dropped to her chest at those words. She stood frozen on the spot, una
Hannah turned and met the prideful faces of her girlfriend and best friend. They smiled at her, silently applauding her for standing up to her mom. But their expressions where short-lived when out of the blue, Mrs Morales stormed towards Hannah, grabbed a fistful of her hair, spinned her around and smacked her cheeks hard.It took Hannah by surprise and before she could even comprehend what was happening, she found herself on the floor, her mother over her, hitting and pulling her hair while screaming at her.Hannah fought for a way out, but despite being old, her mother had a lot of strength. Perhaps, due to her state of drunkenness. Serenity, unable to stomach her girlfriend being hit on, grabbed Mrs Morales hair and pulled her off Hannah “Let go off me you fucking dyke!” Yelled Mrs Morales as Serenity tightened her hold on her hair. It took more willpower than Serenity could muster not to break every single bone in her body. She could as she was stronger and taller than her. But s
** August 2000 ** Hannah Morales stared at her reflection in the mirror. Just a few minutes ago, three women surrounded her. Whilst one worked on her hair, the other applied a variety of products on her face which she had lost count of and the last woman arranged the beautiful white dress she had on. It wasn’t like the typical dress every girl dreamt of wearing on a day like this. This one was special and it meant the world to her. Her grandmother wore it. So did her mom. And now, she was wearing it. And she loved it. It was a beautiful dress after all, not adorned with extravagant pearls and whatnot. It was simple yet classy. And it was what the women in her family had worn on their wedding day, a day Hannah has been dreaming of. The day when she walked down the aisle, wearing the same dress her mother wore whilst she was minutes away from marrying the love of her life. Except, the man she was marrying wasn’t the love of her life. He was her friend and Hannah had a great am
** August 2000 ** Later that evening at the reception party, whilst their family ate, drank and danced, Hannah Morales sat at the far end of the table that was close to the musical set. It was an escape she needed after the ceremony and interacting with the invitees and to stay away from Austin. They might be married now, but she still deserved her free time. Especially as she pictured herself later tonight being intimate with him. And every other night after that.But her escape didn't last long because a voice sounded through the speakers, calling up the bride for the cutting of the cake and to have her first dance as a couple. Hannah acted as though the announcement didn't concern her. She hoped to get another five minutes to herself. But the MC spotted her and soon, she was joining Austin at the buffet table which carried a three-tier wedding cake and some macaroons.Hannah Morales met Austin behind the table with a forced smile on her face. Everyone had gathered round the tabl
** August 2001 **It has been exactly one year since Hannah Morales and Austin Jenkins tied the knot. She'd kept her promise to Austin and given him a chance, and the young man on his part proved his worth to her. He showed her love and treated her like a princess. At some point, Hannah's friends became envious of her because of how well Austin treated her.When Hannah lost her dad, she fell into a deep pit. It was a hard pill to swallow as one minute they were celebrating Easter together, the next minute he was coughing and he dropped to the ground. He was rushed over to the hospital and that was when the doctors informed them that he'd kicked the bucket. Hannah Morales could barely process the news. Her father was more healthy than a nineteen-year-old football athlete, so how on earth was he dead?Hannah had to step in and be there for her mom who was having a hard time coping with the loss of her husband and her personal ATM. If anything, Hannah needed her mom to deal with the pa
Fear and hope had Hannah’s good eye riveted on Austins’s chest. She counted. One, two, three… to fifty. There was not one rise or fall. Not one breath, not one beat. Austin’s eyes were open, but Hannah could no longer see the hard, brown that seemed to always look right through her.The phone felt heavy in her hand. Or perhaps that was the guilt weighing down on her. She should have called for help. She should have done something. Right? The problem was, it wasn’t only guilt she felt. There was something else there.An unmistakable feeling of freedom. A sharp, shooting pain caused Rebecca to gasp. Adrenaline began to wane agony set in. As the prickly fingers of unconsciousness began to pull her under, Rebecca quickly sent a text to the first person she thought could help, right before her eyes closed and she dropped to the ground.****"Welcome back" the voice of a young woman with chestnut hair, probably in her late twenties greeted Hannah Morales as her eyes fluttered open and she w
