Mending a Broken Heart Ch. 03

Hello all! Thank you for your comments I greatly appreciate them! I highly recommend reading Part 1 and 2 of this story, though they are shorter they give the background to these two characters. Let me know what you think of part 3! Enjoy!



The sounds of birds chirping slowly came into Nadia's conscious as she slowly began to wake. With the warmth of the sunlight slowly making its way onto her eyelids, she finally lifted her eyes open to the view of Stephanie's bedroom balcony glass door. Aside from the birds, the room was very quiet and serene. As her eyes came more into focused, she turned over only to find the bed space next to her empty. As she laid back down, she started reminiscing about how her night with Stephanie went. The joy of spending time together and becoming closer as friends, the private conversations they shared along with the affection of comforting each other, and how they never left each other's arms the entire night. But the smile on Nadia's face soon stiffened as she also remembered how Stephanie was so quick to pull away from her. "Was she not interested in me romantically? She's closed up emotionally, maybe she really is scared to fall back in love with someone...with me.."

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the clanking of dishes coming from down the hall, and she quickly got out of bed and made her way toward the kitchen. As she got closer, she could smell the sweet scent of roasting coffee and something sweet maybe some type of pastry. Nadia stood in the corner of the hallway that led to the opening of the dining room and kitchen where she stood and watched as Stephanie mixed away some type of batter...maybe pancakes or waffles she thought. She gazed with loving eyes admiring how beautiful Stephanie looked even in red silk pajama pants and a white tank top. A huge smirk overcame Nadia's face at the fantasy of waking up every morning to Stephanie, taking turns making each other breakfast, and just living in the happiness of the moment.

"Hey you good morning! I'm sorry if I woke you?" as Stephanie walked over to Nadia and pulled her in for a huge hug.

"No you didn't wake me up, not like I would ever mind waking up to you" as Nadia snuggled into Stephanie silently taking in the scent of her soft skin. As she slowly pulled back, she took in the view of her morning companion. Her hair was still pulled back into a pony tail, and with the absence of makeup her natural beauty was breathtaking.

"Don't look at me I look terrible without..."

"You look beautiful Stephanie." Nadia interrupted.

A loose strand of hair fell over Stephanie's eye as she shook her head and sniggered. As Nadia gently swept the strand behind Stephanie's ear she smiled and said "especially in the morning without makeup because now I can see just you."

A warm smile came over Stephanie's face. "Oh shit I forgot I was cooking!" As she runs back to the kitchen counter "I wanted to surprise you with some strawberry covered waffles. My mom used to make them for me growing up, we'd mix the batter, cook them together, and decorate them with lots of sweet things that are bad for you. I figured we deserved a treat after a long emotional night" grinning at Nadia.

"Can I help you with anything?"

"Nope, just sit your sexy booty down at the dining room table and be patient. I'm almost finished" Stephanie said sternly followed by a wink.

It was the first time Nadia heard Stephanie be so direct yet flirty at the same time. She liked it..."Yes ma'am!" "I could definitely get used to more of that" whispering to herself hiding a sneaky smile.

"Oh that smells so delicious Stephanie. I can't wait!"

Stephanie poured some coffee into two large black mugs. "Cream and sugar?"

"Yes please, two spoonfuls of sugar."

"And what type of creamer do you like? I have French Vanilla, White Chocolate Mocha, and Hazelnut."

"Ooh white chocolate mocha please! I love white chocolate mocha!"

"It's a favorite of mine as well!"

After setting down the coffee, Stephanie brought over two large plates each containing two large square waffles, some fresh cut strawberries placed in the middle of a large swirl of whipped cream, topped off with some powdered sugar. After looking at the dish Stephanie giggled "I guess we're going all out this morning on the sweets, but meh. We deserve to splurge sometimes in life!"

"Ooh wow! This looks so yummy delicious! Thank you so much for cooking breakfast!"

"Oh I don't mind...Thank you...for last night...it really meant a lot to me...for just listening and being there. I haven't told anyone about Maxine truthfully, but I'm really glad that I told you. It felt really nice to just share and release some of that...you know?"

Nadia reached for Stephanie's hand "I understand. Thank you for listening and being there for me as well...Stephanie...I'll always be there for you if you need me...I want to...if you let me."

The two woman smiled tenderly toward each other and began the scarfing down of their delicious breakfast. As they ate, Nadia shared her family food rituals which led to jokes and laughter between the two. It was a great morning and after the last sip of coffee was gone, both woman were stuffed beyond belief. As Stephanie began collecting dishes, Nadia stood up to join her near the sink and both joyfully worked together rinsing and drying with the playful nudge here and playful splash of water there.

Being a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, rather than calling it a day, and secretly neither woman really wanted to, Stephanie offered to show Nadia the must see places downtown. Seeing that Nadia didn't have any comfortable clothes that she could really walk in, she borrowed a pair of jean shorts (the shortest that Stephanie owned to make up for the fact that Nadia was almost two inches shorter), a black tank top, and some sandals to wear for the afternoon. Not the perfect fit, but it was good enough to wear for the afternoon. Stephanie wore kacki capris with a kacki colored sash belt (more for the fashion and less for the fact of needing it) and a royal green tank top.

"You look amazing!" Nadia smiled at Stephanie. "That color really brings out your eyes!"

"You look pretty sexy yourself sweetie. My short shorts really expose those sexy legs of yours!" teased Stephanie as she made it obvious she was eyeing Nadia up and down.

And in truth they did and Nadia knew it. "I guess all those squats and lunges paid off" as she flexed her leg revealing the dip in her thigh and calf muscles.

They began their journey at the local street market where everything was outdoors. There were tents lined in a row on either side of the street, and they housed everything from bags and jewelry, to arts and crafts, fresh flowers, and even food items like nuts and fruits. The two woman started on one side of the street working their way from tent to tent browsing at various trinkets here or tasting sweet jam and cracker sampling s there. As they neared the end of the street, Nadia quickly grabbed Stephanie by the arm and pulled her into a little corner shop called Jay's Gelato. With eyes as wide as they could stretch, she stared at the numerous flavors of Italian ice creams and sorbets. Unable to decide Nadia played it safe with chocolate while Stephanie went for the sweeter lemon sorbet. While walking arm in arm and eating their individual cups of ice cream, Stephanie then took Nadia two blocks away to one of her favorite jewelry stores. It was a smaller size store and its inventory consisted of unique styles of jewelry, some created from local artists and others were of styles that could only be found online.

"Come here look at this" as Stephanie pulled Nadia in the direction of a sign with neon writing on it. It listed various flowers, colors, and shapes and next to each was a short description about the significance of that particular characteristic in a jewelry setting.

"I come in here often and I want so badly to get something, but I can never decide what I want." Stephanie continued "I want something that is unique in style obviously and represents something about my life or who I am, but there's just so many choices here it's impossible to choose." Before Nadia could say anything, she was being dragged again to the other end of the store to look at various styles of watches and bracelets.

Nadia watched Stephanie closely, smiling at her excitement for the different styles of necklaces, earrings, pendants, and so on and so forth. As they left the store for their next destination, Nadia made a mental note of the jewelry store's name, Gemstone Couture.

As it neared the middle of the day, Stephanie had one more stop in mind before it was time for the girls to head back home. Stephanie took Nadia to Vantage Point Park, which was about a half mile away from the local street market. If one were to stand in the middle of the large park, on one side one could see the sky scrapers of downtown and on the opposite side was a view of the ocean. Stephanie took Nadia up a slight hill located nearer to the ocean side and the two woman found a bench to rest on.

"Oh Stephanie it's so beautiful here! I've never heard of this place before, probably because I don't come downtown much except to see you but still...it's gorgeous!" as Nadia took in the scenery.

"Yes it is gorgeous" smiled Stephanie staring directly at Nadia.

Feeling her stare, Nadia looked up at Stephanie and smiled warmly. Then she inched her body closer to Stephanie so their shoulders were barely touching, wrapped her arm into Stephanie's arm again, and gently slid her hand under Stephanie's.

The two woman sat there holding hands, smiling staring off into the ocean. Though not a single word was spoken, both knew exactly what the other felt and wished to say, and that so far was the best conversation they had had yet.

Back at Stephanie's place, the sky was already beginning to show hints of yellow and pink welcoming the beginning of the sunset.

"I need to change so I can give you back your clothes. Thank you so much for letting me borrow them for today...I had a wonderful time with you...I wish it didn't have to end..." sighed Nadia.

"Why don't you hang on to those for now and just bring them back the next time you're over."

"So there will be a next time?" with a hint of hope in Nadia's voice.

Lifting Nadia's chin so she could gaze into her brown eyes "of course there will be sweetie. I had a wonderful time with you as well...and if it's ok with you...I would love to see you again...and again after that."

Staring intently into each other's eyes, Stephanie gently urged Nadia's chin in her direction and lightly pressed her lips against Nadia's. Lightly licking Nadia's upper lip, she could feel her lips begin to part and slowly placed both of her hands against either side of her cheek.

The feel of Stephanie's lips against her own gave Nadia goose bumps. She had wanted to taste Stephanie's lips for so long and now she was finally going to have that chance. Slowly parting her lips and feeling the soft caress of Stephanie's tongue sent a shiver down her spine all the way down to her lacy underwear which made her cream herself. Letting out a soft moan, she softly grabbed onto Stephanie's waist for support as her body slowly fell into submission.

Hearing her soft moan and feeling the invite of Nadia's body, Stephanie gently teased Nadia with her tongue until finally giving in to a long passionate kiss. The touch of Nadia's hands as they slowly moved from her waist to her lower back made her wet and ached to be touched.

Hearing one another 's breath begin to hasten, their kiss became more enraged with passion. Nadia pulled Stephanie into her body and held a tight grip like she would never let go, and Stephanie slowly eased Nadia against the wall not once releasing her face but keeping her kisses strong and forceful. The more Stephanie thrust her tongue deeper into Nadia, the harder Nadia pressed her face into Stephanie.

The two woman kissed for what seemed like an eternity until slowly their kisses became tender again. Never releasing their grip, the two woman stared fixedly on one another, their pupils dilated and their heart racing from the amount of lust that has just erupted between them.

"Nadia, would you like to..." Stephanie began to ask provocatively but was quickly interrupted by the sound of her cell phone. "Fuck! Gimme a sec, wait here ok."

With a long sigh, Nadia leaned against the wall in amazement at how her first kiss with Stephanie felt. The hairs on her body stood on end and her body tingled at how aroused she felt. Her pussy was so moist with the throbbing of her clit so agonizing, she knew if Stephanie laid a single finger on her she would cum hard and fast. She had never wanted Stephanie more than she did at that very second, and she was ready to spend the rest of the night pleasuring her to her heart's content. But her heart immediately dropped with disappointment as she overheard Stephanie's conversation taking place in the dining area.

"The contracts are in my top right drawer in my desk...they have to be there...no David I signed each one Friday when I...I'm with company right now can't this wait till tomorrow...Shit!...ok ok I'll be there shortly..."

The look on Stephanie's face needed no explanation. "I'm sorry sweetie I have to go."

"It's ok Stephanie" as Nadia forced a smile. "You're the boss, I understand. How long do you think you'll have to be there?"

"I don't know baby. The fucking idiots are rushing the signing for some band for whatever fucking reason and they need me to resign a new contract..." as Stephanie rigorously rubbed the temples of her head. "I'm so so sorry. Trust me I really don't want to leave you...especially not now" hinting a smile back toward Nadia pulling her back into her arms.

"I tell you what" Nadia began, "why don't you make it up to me tomorrow and we can start back up right where we left off" blinking her long eye lashes in Stephanie's direction.

Pulling her in for a kiss "You have got yourself a deal my sexy little kitten."

The two woman kissed each other hard and erotically as both of their bodies still ached with lust, but they agreed to meet first thing tomorrow morning for coffee before starting off their work day. They said their goodnights and kissed again before parting ways.

That night Nadia could not get her mind off of Stephanie. Her body was erotically stimulated beyond any amount she had ever felt, and her emotions were bouncing off the charts at how hard and how badly she wanted to be with Stephanie. Her mind kept drifting back to their first kiss; how soft her lips felt, how sensually her hands caressed her face, and how sexy her aroused body moved against her own. She was determined to show Stephanie how much she wanted to be with her and pleasure her, that she deserved to be happy and treated like a queen and the person who was going to do that would be her.

All night Nadia thought of different positions and different techniques that she would use to please her Stephanie. She fantasized about tasting her sweet wet pussy and imagined her screaming out in pleasure at how hard she would be fucking her. It was a long anxious night, but Nadia finally drifted off to sleep awaiting the excitement of seeing her sexy redbeauty the next morning.

At 6:30am, Nadia was awoken by the ringing of her cell phone.

"Good morning by sexy little kitten! How did you sleep?"

Hearing the beautiful voice of Stephanie quickly brought Nadia to attention. "I would have slept better if you were here next to me, but I guess pretty good. How was your night beautiful?"

"Not very good...which is why I'm calling you this morning..." Stephanie went on to explain that although the resigning of contracts were a breeze, aside from her sexual frustrations of leaving that night, her boss was sending her to New York City to meet some potential big time clients to sign on with the company. And unfortunately, as she was already on her way to the airport that she wouldn't be able to make their coffee date as planned.

Nadia's heart sank deeper and deeper as Stephanie explained that she wouldn't be back in town until Thursday night. "Oh" was all Nadia could say.

Sensing the disappointment and sadness in Nadia's voice, Stephanie quickly shot back "but I really miss you my sexy little kitten! I'll be counting down the days till I can see your beautiful face and have you back safely in my arms."

A warm feeling came over Nadia. "I really miss you too Stephanie! Will you please call or text me when you land so that I know you're safe?"

Stephanie smiled at the realization of how much Nadia really cared about her wellbeing "of course little one. You head back to bed and I'll keep you updated on my trip ok. Sweet dreams my sexy kitten."

"Have a safe flight baby. I'll be thinking about you."

Though disappointed she wouldn't see Stephanie till later in the week, hearing her say how much she missed her brought a warm feeling to Nadia's heart as she slowly dozed back to bed dreaming about her new love.

Nadia and Stephanie kept in touch everyday through text, and would talk all night till the sun came up.

As tired as they both were the next day, they couldn't get enough of each other. Wednesday night came along and Stephanie explained how every year this time she would take a week vacation and head to one of her closest friend's house on the coast. She owned a beach house and a few of her closest friends would all meet up and spend the week together catching up and basically have a good time getting drunk and talking shit all day. They were a tight group consisting of five woman from various industries, and all were lesbians.

"I'd love for you to join me this weekend and meet my friends Nadia. I think they would absolutely love you, and I think you would have a great time especially since you would be spending the entire week at the beach with me of course" Stephanie joked.

Nadia's face lit up at the fact that Stephanie was inviting her to meet her friends. She thought "this has to mean something. You don't ask someone to meet your friends and spend the week with someone if you weren't interested in something...maybe long term..." "I would absolutely love to join you Stephanie. I don't know how much time I can take off from work just yet without speaking to my boss, but I will for sure be able to spend at least a few days with you!"

"Great" gleamed Stephanie. "I'm back in town tomorrow night. If you can manage with your job I was planning on leaving Friday afternoon to drive down to the coast. I can pick you up on the way if you'd like?"

"I'll ask my roommates to drop me off Friday at your place if that's ok with you." Secretly, Nadia had a surprise planned for Stephanie and needed the opportunity to hide it in her condo.

"That sounds perfect sweetie! I'm so excited for you to meet everyone...I'm really excited to see you again...I've really missed you these last few days. I wish I was there right now to just hold your little body in my arms and kiss you all over. You're really something special you know that...I don't know how you've managed to do it, but I find myself thinking about you all day wondering if you're thinking about me as well...I haven't felt like this...in a really long time."

Nadia heard the sincerity in Stephanie's voice and the hairs on her body stood on end again. "I've really missed you too Stephanie. I think about you every second of the day...even my roommates can tell I'm thinking about you, apparently my mood's changed and I walk around with a big ass smile on my face...oh but you don't know that (giggles). I can't wait to see you and I'm super excited to meet everyone!"

Stephanie tried her best to hide her happiness and excitement, but Nadia could tell by her voice that she had a huge smile on her face. "Well alright then little one. I'm going to finish some paperwork for tonight and I will call you tomorrow before I leave?"
