Something About Last Night

Out of a 10

Carol looked at Natasha with wide eyes. She couldn't think of anything to say because, she wasn't ready for this moment. She dreamed of this happening 9 years ago and now that it was, she wasn't ready. Her heart was pounding, her hands were sweaty, her mind was racing. "Nat, I-."

Natasha cocked her head while she ran her fingers through Carols curly hair. "What?" Her eyes scanned Carols face and she saw the uncertainty in those chocolate orbs she's come to love. "Carol, what is it? I thought you wanted this. Wasn't this like your big dream?" Natasha frowned while biting her inner cheek.

Shaking her head, Carol wrapped her arms around Natasha and pressed her forehead against hers. "A dream? Oh pretty girl, you don't know anything about my dreams. But I have wanted this, I wanted this for 9 years, I'm just...scared." Carol felt Natasha rub her nose against hers and she smiled softly. "I don't want to risk losing our friendship, losing you."

Natasha closed her eyes and she took in a deep breath. "Carol, pursing this relationship is going to put our friendship at risk regardless. I don't want to lose what we have either, but I don't want to regret not knowing what we could have. What if this, is something amazing, magical even?" Natasha pulled away and cupped Carols cheek. "I want to know what US is like."

Carols heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she heard US. She always wanted to be an item with Natasha and she couldn't express that enough. "Nat, you're not even divorced yet. What if Steve finds out and uses it against you?" Carols hands rested on the lower part of Natashas back and her fingers were dancing up and down the small of her spine. "Why am I all of a sudden so not okay with this?"

Natasha laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't really know because, I could have sworn last night before we left to go out you were ready to jump me and remove my dress. You commented on my panties and bra." With a playful wink, Natasha moved her hands and rested them against Carols abdomen. "What if Steve finds out? Carol, he knew you were here. He told me that you were lucky to have me. I obviously agreed with him because, you are. He knows what you feel, he knows that eventually we're going to test the waters. He isn't going to use it against me because he indirectly said it was fine."

Carol bit her lower lip before looking down at Natashas hands. They looked like they belonged there and it was something that made her heart pitter patter. "If you say so." Carol moved her hands down to Natashas butt, unknowingly. She wasn't even thinking anymore, she was just doing the things she normally would do with other women she dated. Carol soon felt Natashas index finger under her chin and she looked up. "What's the matter?"

Natasha had that look in her eyes and her breathing was starting to hitch. "I-..." Natasha couldn't think of the words, so she sat there silently, trying to find the right ones. Closing her eyes briefly, she took in a deep breath and she finally knew what to say. "I want to kiss you. Not just on the cheek or forehead or nose, I really want to kiss you. Can we try that and see how it goes? If it feels right?" Her eyes opened and she saw Carols expression. She was as nervous as she was and she bit her lower lip hoping Carol would answer reasonably.

Carols hands moved to Natashas hips and she pulled her a bit closer. Their faces were inches apart and she could feel her best friends breath hitting her face. "Are you sure?" Seeing Natasha nod, Carol took a deep breath and her hand moved to the back of Natashas neck and she pulled her in closer. Her heart was beating faster than a cheetah running, but the moment their lips hit, it was like colors exploding. 'Oh. My. God. I'm actually kissing Natasha. Her lips are so soft. They taste so good too. Strawberry? Oh right she had strawberries not too long ago as a snack. My God she's a good kisser. Wait, is that her tongue? Oh my it is. Woah, this is...this is nice.'

Natashas arms soon found their way back over Carols shoulders and their kiss soon deepened. Natasha couldn't help but feel an over abundance of happiness in this moment. 'Damn Danvers, way to hold out on me. Her lips are amazing. They feel so good against mine. Ugh her hands holding me here, God I could get used to this. Why didn't I realize she liked me before? I would have married her over Steve any day. Oooh, her tongue action is great. This is by far the best kiss ever. Please don't ever let this stop.' Soon the kiss ended and Natasha pouted feeling Carols lips off of hers. "That was...you are...Carol is it too soon for me to ask you to marry me?"

Carol laughed and nodded her head yes. Her lips felt swollen and Natashas looked swollen, so she knew it was a damn good kiss. "Not bad, Romanoff. Not bad." Carol winked before sliding her hands down Natashas sides. Still in awe over the fact she kissed her best friend, Carol felt blush creep up on her cheeks. "Your rating out of a 10?"

"Definitely a 12."
