tara lets out a loud sigh as she tried to stop herself from spacing out during her history class. she’s been glancing at her wrist watch every minute hoping the long hand would finally hit 12. why does it take so fucking long?
just few more minutes , tara told herself. she couldn’t wait to get out of this class. not just because it’s so boring, tara is just really too excited for her next class. it’s algebra and tara’s particularly not a fan of math (she hates it with all her heart) but amber being there makes it a bit tolerable.
amber freeman. tara felt herself smiling just thinking about the girl.
she hasn’t seen the girl since they had lunch together with their group of friends and she’s already missing her like crazy.
as soon as the class ended, tara quickly gathered her things and walked outside. it’s funny. she doesn’t even like math yet she almost ran to their algebra room as soon she got out of the classroom. she can’t help if it she’s dying to see amber. that’s the only reason she’s looking forward to this class anyway.
tara leaned against the wall near the door of the room, glancing down the hallway for any sign of amber. a smile spread across her face as she saw the familiar figure walking towards her, dark hair bouncing with each step.
“hey, carpenter.” amber said casually as she stopped beside tara. just being this close to the girl makes tara’s heart jump. she cleared her throat and tried to compose herself.
"hi.” tara replied, grinning. their hands brushed ever so slightly as they stood close together.
"meet me after class.” amber whispered before stepping inside the classroom without waiting for tara’s response.
tara still nodded, butterflies filling her stomach in anticipation of what was to come. she went inside the room as well and took her seat. unfortunately they aren’t sitting next to each other. amber’s in front of her, just a seat away from her though and she’s at the back sitting next to anika, one of her friends.
“hey t, did you do your homework?”
the school day seemed to drag on forever as tara anxiously awaited the end of the final period. as soon as the bell rang, she rushed out of the classroom and made her way down the now empty hallway to the janitor's closet.
it’s their secret hiding place. tara laughed at how predictable it is actually but she’d take everything just to have this little shared moment she can have with her girlfriend. she and amber have been dating for six months now. they both agreed to keep it privately for a while just between the two them. it was tara’s idea. she just doesn’t like any drama and knowing that she and amber are in the same group of friends with the person who used to date tara, she knows for sure it’ll cause a drama.
tara and wes didn’t even date for that long, if tara could remember it right it was only for two weeks. (and she was hundred percent sure she was already in love with amber during that time. sounds horrible but it was the truth)
she gently opened the closet door and slipped inside, quietly shutting it behind her. it was dark, the lights are off but she knows amber was already there waiting for her.
tara lets out a squeal when she was pulled into another person’s arms the moment the door closed. she stretched her arms and reached for the light switch and turned it on as she stared up to the girl in front of her with a bashful smile. they didn’t say anything.
amber and tara stood gazing into each other’s eyes, their faces inching closer. tara’s heart skipped a beat as amber’s hands squeezed her waist gently. their lips met gently at first, the softest brush. then amber pressed in closer, kissing tara with longing. tara kissed her back hungrily, her arms winding around amber’s neck.
"god, i’ve been waiting all day for this." amber murmured between kisses. her hand on tara’s waist slowly traveled up to cupped the girl’s cheek, tilting her head to the side as the kiss deepened.
"yeah?” tara giggled, breathless.
they stood locked in an embrace, kissing passionately while the janitor's mop bucket and shelves of supplies served as their only witnesses.
this relationship had been the best thing that’s happened to tara. what had started as a random kiss in the hallway had grown into so much more, though they dared not speak its name out loud. their relationship existed only in stolen moments like this one.
the world faded away around them as they kissed deeply, their lips parting, tongues tentatively meeting. amber tasted of mint and something sweet, intoxicating tara further. they stumbled backward until tara felt the wall against her shoulders. amber pressed her body flush against tara and kissed her fiercely.
“amber,” tara softly moaned between the kiss.
she couldn't think straight as amber’s hands moved over her back, pressing them closer together. she felt the girl’s hand carefully roaming under her shirt, making her gasp and her heart jump out of her ribcage.
all that existed was this kiss, this powerful connection she felt with amber. her head spun and her heart raced impossibly fast as their kisses grew more passionate. amber’s nails grazed against tara’s soft skin, sending shivers down her spine.
as they paused to catch their breath, resting their foreheads together. tara’s lips were swollen, tingling from the pressure of amber’s kisses. amber softly stroked tara’s cheek, her brown eyes alight with wonder and desire.
“i’ve missed you, baby.” breathed out amber with a wide grin on her face.
tara touched her fingers to her lips, still buzzing from the kiss. it felt like a dream, yet too real to deny. she looked into amber’s eyes and knew in that moment nothing could tear them apart. their lips met once more and they kissed slowly, promising themselves to each other.
amber and tara kissed, and, kissed, and kissed. their lips were like magnets, forever drawn to each other. it was as if the rest of the world disappeared as they kissed. their hearts were racing and their hands were touching. it was only them. nothing was as important.
amber slid one hand up tara’s thigh while the other cupped her cheek. tara moaned softly into the kiss, running her fingers through amber’s hair and down her back. amber pulled tara closer, wanting to feel every inch of her body against her own.
after several minutes of passionate kissing, amber pulled back slightly to kiss along tara’s jawline and down her neck.
“fuck.”
tara tilted her head back and let out a gasp of pleasure as amber lips made contact with her sensitive skin. the girl couldn’t help but smirk when she heard tara curse. it was the hottest thing she’s ever heard. tara doesn’t normally curse so she must be doing damn well to have the girl cursing in pleasure.
amber left a trail of wet kisses down tara’s neck while her hand slipped further and further up her thigh.
"baby," tara mewled, biting her bottom lip as amber’s kisses caused sparks of pleasure to shoot through her body. "please." she bucked her hips slightly, seeking more contact. “please, i want you, amber.”
“quiet, tara.” amber hushed and bit on her earlobe. tara almost melted and fell down on her knees. “don’t make a sound.”
tara tried her best to stay as silent as she can be, they can’t get risk being caught especially in their school. the last time they almost got caught was at the very same place they are right now and they were doing the exact same thing, the janitor almost walked in on them but luckily for some reason the universe must have had their back that time because it didn’t happen the janitor was suddenly needed someplace else.
but that was a terrifying moment for them. (doesn’t stop them from doing it again, and again, and again though.) maybe aside from the drama, they both enjoyed the thrill it brings to them. of course, it still scares tara but it also excites her and right now, she is feeling the excitement more than ever.
amber sucked gently on tara’s soft skin, eliciting a soft moan from tara’s lips. as amber bit down lightly, tara gripped her shoulders, digging her nails in slightly through amber’s shirt. she muffled a whimper as amber’s hand teasingly touched her center but before she could do more, she stopped. causing a loud whine from tara’s lips.
as amber reluctantly pulled away, both girls were panting and aching for more. amber gazed into tara’s lust-filled eyes and smiled, still able to smell tara’s intoxicating perfume on her. their hearts pounded and their breathing slowed as the intensity of the moment gradually faded, yet the longing and desire remained strong between them.
“you’re not fair.” tara whined, she pulled the taller girl closer by her nape. she looked up at amber with a pout on her lips. “making me all needy and for what?”
amber chuckled. “tara, we might get caught here. we wouldn’t want that, would we?” amber settled her hands on tara’s waist, lightly squeezing it.
“i don’t know. i just want you, amber.”
“needy baby, greedy baby.” amber teased and pecked tara’s nose before she pulled her body away completely from tara. the girl quickly took amber by her wrist and tugged her closer.
“one more kiss, please?”
the next day as tara opened her locker, she noticed a piece of paper fell out. she glanced around furtively before picking it up, recognizing amber’s cute but messy handwriting immediately.
"meet me after school. i miss you - a," the note read. tara’s heart fluttered as she folded the note and hid it within her pre-calculus textbook, the excitement of what was to come distracting her the rest of the day.
“have you guys heard hanna from bio is pregnant?” liv’s voice brought tara back to reality. tara’s stole a quick glance at amber seating across her. she felt her cheeks heating up when she noticed the girl staring back right at her.
they are currently having lunch together, she, amber and their other friends. tara has a really small circle of friends, she’s known them since they were young and she’s very lucky to have them. amber belongs to that group of friends, so it was quite hard to hide the fact that they are actually dating each other everytime they are with their friends.
amber doesn’t really mind letting them know but it was tara who wanted to keep it just between them. like she’s mentioned, she hates drama and she knows damn well it will cause a drama especially with wes still having feelings for her and shit.
mindy rolled her eyes at liv and threw a piece of pea at her. “the hell, liv. can you not gossip we literally just sat down?”
tara quickly averted her gaze from amber to face liv with a surprised look. “oh my god, for real?”
liv ignored mindy and just nodded her head. “yep! they said the captain of the basketball team is the rumored father.”
“right! i heard about that too.” anika agreed before taking a bite on her sandwich. “maybe you know him, chad?”
“babe, not you too.” mindy groaned. “i told you to stop hanging out with liv too much.”
“oh, fuck you, mindy.” liv huffed and rolled her eyes. “chad! why are you letting her bully me?”
“twin loyalty for sure.” amber giggled. a soft fluttering feeling on tara’s stomach when she heard amber giggle. jesus, she’s in so deep.
“okay, everyone chill. i know what we all need right now,” chad spoke and beamed at amber. “a party!”
“no!” amber’s response was instant, shaking her head no. “not happening, chad. i am way too stress over acads to start hosting a party.” and they also have plans later , tara wanted to add but she kept her mouth shut and watched the them talk instead.
“c’mon! you throw the best parties, amber! or maybe just let us use your house. i’d deal with everything.” mindy pleaded. tara wanted to laugh, she rarely sees mindy beg and its mostly when she needed a favor or something from amber.
“you’re not having party at my house. end of story. maybe after finals but not now. do it at your house instead, mindy.”
“what, you bringing a hot girl home, freeman?” liv teased, her eyebrows playfully that it made tara laugh.
“you look so silly, liv. don’t do that again.” chuckled tara. she didn’t even have time to react what liv said, she got distracted by the look on her face.
“t, convince her, please.” mindy still insisted. “we need this.”
amber lets out an exasperated sigh. “fine. what if i am?”
suddenly, mindy’s constant pleading stopped. her head quickly whipped to amber’s direction. tara felt her heart almost dropped because of amber’s response. jesus, what is she doing? sure, their friends know about amber having dozens of fun with pretty much most of the girls in their school but that was before she and amber got together! amber has never told them about her sex life for so long (since they’ve been together) that she knows what amber just dropped right now is going to be so intriguing to them.
“holy shit. seriously?” anika was the first one to recover. “is amber fucking freeman back in business again?”
“fuck off, anika.” amber replied while laughing amusedly.
“hey!” mindy instantly defended her girlfriend. of course. tara’s eyes rolled at them. she sometimes wished she and amber could just be like anika and mindy. she wished it was that easy.
“if that will stop this girl from wanting to have a party on my house then yeah. not like i’d have a problem finding someone.”
tara so suddenly coughed up on her food feeling flustered, the girl immediately reached for her water and drank it.
“jesus, carpenter. be careful.” she heard amber speak, noticing that obnoxious smirk on her face. she wanted to hit her and kiss her after, honestly she wanted to kiss her more. kiss that smirk off her face but she can’t so she settled on ignoring her.
after the final bell, tara hurried to the janitor's closet but amber was not there. confused, tara began to worry that something had gone wrong when her phone buzzed with a text.
“not at school. my house. parents working late. come over, baby.” it read, followed by amber sending an image of her on the couch.
tara quickly made her way to amber’s house. luckily for her it was quite near where she lives so it didn’t take her long to reach amber’s home. tara was greeted at the door with a kiss. they stood in the foyer embracing, amber running her hands through tara’s hair. before they knew it, they were laying on amber’s couch, getting lost in each other's touch.
amber’s lips moved to tara’s neck, eliciting a soft gasp. “i missed you so much, baby.” amber whispered. tara’s heart skipped a beat at the words.
“show me.” tara tugged on to amber’s hair and bit down on her lower lip shyly. “show me how much you missed me.”
amber took tara’s hand, intertwining their fingers as they gazed into each other's eyes. "come on," amber said with a smile, giving tara’s hand a gentle pull as they get out of the couch.
tara smiled back, allowing amber to lead her up the stairs to amber’s bedroom. once inside with the door closed behind them, they resumed kissing hungrily. amber slowly backed tara towards the bed, lowering her down onto the mattress. tara pulled amber down on top of her, wrapping her arms around her waist.
amber peppered kisses along tara’s jaw and neck as her hands explored tara’s curves. tara arched her back, pressing her body against amber’s and eliciting a soft moan. amber kissed her way down tara’s chest, pausing to place hot, open-mouthed kisses on the swell of tara’s breasts above her shirt.
“amber,” the brunette moaned weakly.
tara slid her hands under amber’s shirt, stroking the soft, warm skin of her back. she tugged the shirt up, a silent request. amber sat up briefly to remove her shirt, revealing a lacy black bra. tara’s eyes widened as she took in the sight, filled with desire and affection.
“all for me?” tara whispered, biting down on her lower lip.
amber grinned playfully. “all just for you, tara.”
amber leaned back down and connected their lips in a slow, sensual kiss. their tongues slid against each other as amber’s bare skin pressed against tara. amber slowly moved her kisses down tara’s body once more, pausing to tug at the hem of tara’s shirt. tara eagerly lifted her arms to allow amber to remove the offending garment, leaving her chest exposed.
amber gazed down at tara, marveling at her beauty. “god, you’re so gorgeous.” she mumbled. tara blushed and pulled amber into a tender kiss, slowly losing herself in the other girl's touch.
amber smiled against tara’s lips as their kisses grew heated once more. she kissed along tara’s jaw and down her neck, causing tara to gasp and tangle her fingers in amber’s hair. the taller girl’s lips moved lower, kissing between the swell of tara’s breasts before taking one nipple in her mouth.
tara arched her back with a moan of pleasure, pressing herself closer to amber. the girl swirled her tongue around tara’s sensitive nipple as her hand moved up tara’s inner thigh. the brunette trembled at amber’s gentle yet teasing touch, yearning for more.
“amber,” she whimpered. “no more teasing.”
amber moved to give the same attention to tara’s other mound as her hand grasped the waistband of tara’s jeans. amber looked up at tara, silently asking for permission.
“please.” tara cried, biting her lower lip in anticipation. amber unbuttoned and unzipped tara’s jeans, gently sliding them off her legs and tossing them to the floor.
amber kissed back up tara’s body as her hand moved up tara’s thigh, coming to rest on the heat between her legs. amber cupped tara intimately over her underwear, eliciting a sharp gasp from tara. amber began stroking tara slowly as she took tara’s lips in a passionate kiss. tara moaned into amber’s mouth, grinding her hips against amber’s hand.
“stop teasing.” tara gazed up at amber, brown eyes hooded with desire and lust. “i thought you missed me, amber.”
“you’re so hot when you’re needy, baby.”
with tara’s permission, amber didn't waste any second to slide her hand under tara’s underwear to touch her directly.
"oh, god.” tara cried out softly at the feeling of amber’s fingers caressing her drenched center.
“you’re so beautiful,” amber whispered lovingly, kissing tara’s neck. "so good for me, baby."
amber’s fingers stroked gently at first, feeling their way as tara’s breathing quickened. "inside.” she begged. “please, amber."
amber smirked at her. “begging already, tara?” she circled her fingers slowly, applying more pressure before she gently slipped a digit inside her. prompting tara to elicit a weak whimper as her hips lifted to meet her touch.
tara hummed in satisfaction, lost in the sensations amber was creating within her. “just like that, please.”
amber whispered more words of love and affection as she brought tara closer and closer to climax, stroking and circling, curling and thrusting, with just the right pressure and rhythm.
tara gasped and clutched at the bed sheets as pleasure built within her, finally spilling over in waves of euphoria that washed through her entire body.
her cries of release filled the air as amber held her close, kissing her face and repeating, “i’ve got you, baby. you did so great.”
the waves of pleasure subsided and tara lay spent in amber’s arms, a slow smile spreading across her face. “that was perfect, i love you.” she mumbled, embracing amber.
“you’re perfect.” amber grinned sweetly. “i love you way more, tara.” their lips met in a tender kiss as they held each other close.
“i’m going to fucking kill him.”
tara laughed as she lets the taller girl drag her down the basement. they are currently in amber’s house with their friends. it was supposed to be a sleepover so they can study together for their finals but with mindy there and tara to indulge her, they ended up having drinks and playing board games instead.
“ambs, calm down.” tara giggled softly as they walk inside the basement. mindy asked amber to grab some more drinks and of course, her girlfriend took that as opportunity to have tara by herself.
“no— he’s so fucking annoying. i’m really going to kill him, i’m not even joking.”
“jesus, you’re so dramatic. wes just wanted to help me with math! there is nothing wrong with that.” tara pouted her lips, she’s about to walk to the fridge but was stopped by amber’s arms snaking around her waist.
“you don’t get it, tara. he hasn’t left your side ever since he got here. he won’t even leave you alone!”
“well, i am alone with you now, aren’t i?” tara flashed a sweet smile, her arms looped around amber’s neck.
“yeah cause i had to scare him off just to leave you alone.” amber grumbled and rolled her eyes.
“and you succeeded. now stop with your attitude and kiss me.”
“be thankful i’m in love with you.” amber huffed.
“i very much am, ambs. i’m also very much in love with you, by the way.” tara stood on her tippy toes and pressed her lips on amber’s lips, sharing a soft sweet kiss.
that was enough to reassure her love for amber. the girl never really doubted tara’s love but it’s still nice to reminded from time to time. she’s happy with that, contented with what she have with tara.
the next day at school, tara and amber’s eyes met in the hallway, exchanging a knowing smile as they passed each other. though nothing had changed outwardly, everything felt different now.
their secret rendezvous continued as before, but with a new depth of intimacy. notes were passed, hungry kisses stolen, and hearts yearned for each other though their relationship remained a closely guarded secret. they danced around the truth yet embraced each moment they had together.
