Part 12 - In Which I'm Afraid A Lot Of Snogging Takes Place/In Which Sally Webster Humphs Around All Sally Webster Like
"I don't know what you're talking about," Rosie tried to say innocently, but in typical Rosie form it just came off as even more suspicious.
Sally narrowed her eyes at her eldest daughter. "Don't give me that missy, I know you know something, I can see it in your eyes. Now, tell me."
Despite how terrifying Sally was acting Rosie was completely unfazed by it. One of the things she had happened to pick up this far into her life by being so...well to put it honestly, self-centred, was her apparent lack of caring when it came to being threatened if the threats weren't directed at her personally. Standing up and moving past her mother with what seemed like not a care in the world, Rosie moved into the living room and started to fiddle around in her handbag. "Listen mum, I'm not sure what you mean. But if, IF, it had something to do with Sophie, then I suggest you talk to her yourself, because you're not getting anything out of me."
"Rosie Webster how dare you! I am your mother!"
"Oh come off it," Rosie told her a little abruptly. "I'm not a child anymore mum, and neither is Sophie for that matter. If you have something to say, say it to her face." With that Rosie grabbed her handbag and headed for the door. "I'm meeting up with Jason, I might get him to buy me lunch at the Rovers later, ciao!"
Sally stood gobsmacked in the middle of the Webster's lounge. What just happened? She wasn't sure but she was determined to get to the bottom of it. Following her daughter's lead she grabbed her bag and coat and went out in search of answers.
...
"I still can't believe you live so close!" Sophie told Sian as they entered the blonde's home. "How long has your dad been living here?"
Sian shut the door behind Sophie and headed to the kitchen to check the note her dad had inevitably left for her there. "Um, a while now I think, they divorced when I was little, so..."
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" Sophie started to try and apologise.
"No don't worry about it," Sian waved it off. "Seriously I'm fine with it. It was a long time ago AND, it was for the best."
Sophie started to examine the pictures on the shelves that were in the hallway, she hadn't yet ventured far from the front door. There weren't very many, but from the pictures that were there it looked like a timeline of how Sian had grown over the years. This tiny, adorable, blonde toddler who developed into a young girl with pigtails and then into a short, dark-haired teenager (the rebellious phase of Sian's childhood) and then again at her graduation, looking amazing as usual in the generic gown. "Did you ever come here? To Weatherfield I mean, to visit and that." The question was asked gently, as Sophie was still examining all the pictures of Sian.
Sian came back out of the kitchen and leant against the side of the doorway regarding Sophie for a while. It reminded her so much of when they'd first met, and Sophie was drunkenly (but cutely) examining all of her belongings with a smile on her face. The same smile was there now and Sian thought she could get used to seeing it on a regular basis. "I think once, when I was, twelve I think it was? Didn't know anyone so I was bored out of my brains," Sian said from her same position next to the doorway.
Sophie turned her head to smile at her, flashing that token Sophie Webster smile that made Sian's heart melt and do flippy things all at once, before turning back to the pictures. Finally moving towards her, Sian went up behind Sophie and pushed her loose hair to one side, exposing her neck, and placed a soft kiss there. Sophie's eyes shut and her head leaned back, unconsciously giving Sian more room which she took to full advantage, placing another one further up Sophie's neck, and then another further up still.
"Oh God," Sophie moaned.
"God won't save you now Webster," Sian smirked in between soft kisses.
Sophie made another noise before her eyes shot open. "Wait, what if your dad comes home?" She tried to resist Sian's effect on her by stepping backwards but it was hard when Sian was stroking the skin under Sophie's shirt and smiling at her with dark eyes like she wanted to jump her bones (which she did).
"Dad's working," Sian said with a husk to her voice. "He's always working, no one else will be home for ages."
Sian took a step towards Sophie, making the other girl gulp. "I thought you were hungry."
"I AM hungry,' Sian licked her lips.
Sophie launched herself at Sian, attacking her lips with everything she had. There was no more trying to resist, how could she resist that? The answer, you couldn't. They had a house to themselves, what the hell.
"Let's get you out of that dress, ay Sian?"
...
Sally tramped into Roy's Rolls, looking around determinedly for a certain brunette. She gave a frustrated humph however when she again failed to find her daughter. She had already done the rounds of the street, looking into the Corner Shop, the Kabin, even going as so far as to check the Chippie. Sally had even tried calling Sophie's mobile twice but the first time it had rang out and the second went straight to voicemail. Perhaps she should go talk to Kevin, she thought, he might be able to put her mind at ease.
"Are you alright there Sally?"
Sally looked up out of her daze to see Hayley watching her, looking a little concerned.
"It's just, you've been standing there an awfully long time now and you look a bit worried. Did you want to sit down?"
Sally shook her head to try and clear it while sinking into the nearest available chair and replied, "Sorry Hayley, it's just, you haven't seen Sophie today have you?"
Hayley was just relieved that there appeared to be nothing physically ill with Sally that she answered very happily, "Oh yes I saw her going down the street just before. I remember because she was with that new girl working in the Rovers." She paused and cocked her head to the side frowning as she recalled, "They were holding hands, I didn't realise Sophie knew her well."
This was all getting too much for Sally and even though she had just sat down she got up straight away muttering, "Neither did I," and left the cafe again and a confused Hayley as she headed out the door to go consult Kevin.
...
Sophie giggled giddily as she came down the stairs in front of Sian, stopping at the bottom of the stairs to turn around and grabbed Sian to give her a snog, just 'cause she felt like it. After they pulled away, both girls grinning madly, Sian hit Sophie's shoulder lightly saying, "No more of that, I've had to get dressed so many times today just 'cause you keep taking my clothes off. We can't afford to get DISTRACTED again, we'll starve to death."
"Well if I remember correctly, you were the one that started it last, and I didn't hear you complaining," Sophie smirked at Sian, going in for another kiss.
Unable to resist the brunette, Sian gladly accepted another peck before replying, "Hm, true that. But now we need to go eat something, I'm starving!" As if on cue, both their stomachs let out groans of approval that made the girls freeze and then subsequently burst out laughing.
Sophie was still laughing as she grabbed Sian's hand and led her to the front door saying, "Okay fine, but it's well past breakfast time now I think, so we might as well have lunch. Are you working today?"
Sian smiled at Sophie's eagerness. "Nope, all yours for as long as you'll have me, or until you get sick of me."
"I could never get sick of you," Sophie grinned again. "Come to mine, I'll make you something."
"Ooooooo, aren't I lucky? Sophie Webster's gonna cook for me."
They left the house with Sophie remarking, "Oi! No sarcasm you or you'll get your wish and the snogs will stop."
"No sarcasm, got it!"
...
"But Kevin you weren't there, something just didn't FEEL right!"
"Would you cut it out Sal," Kevin begged his whinging wife. "I don't know what you expect me to tell you, from the sounds of it you might just be over reacting."
It was Sunday, which was meant to be his day off but Kevin had received a last minute job to do in the garage and just wanted to get it over and done with so he could just go home and have a nice cold beer. Instead he had Sally jabbering in his ear about something to do with Sophie and this new girl on the street? He couldn't follow his wife's ramblings, it wouldn't be the first time Sally had gotten worked up over nothing so he wasn't giving it too much of his attention to be honest.
"Look," he said to her frankly, "if you're so worked up over this why don't you just ask Sophie about it? Ay? Wouldn't that be better than going around fretting?"
Sally actually stamped her foot in frustration saying, "I've TRIED, I can't find Sophie anywhere!"
Just as she happened to say this Rita walked past and overheard (Sally wasn't exactly being quiet about it all) and said, "Are you looking for Sophie, love?"
Sally turned around to at the question. "Yes Rita, you haven't happened to see her have you?"
"Not just five minutes ago," Rita replied, pointing in the direction of the Webster's house. "Going into your place with that girl from the pub, Sian is it? She has a lovely smile."
Sally gave Kevin a look that said, "SEE. I WAS RIGHT AND SOMETHING IS GOING ON UNDER MY NOSE."
Rita kept going on her way with a "cheerio Sally dear" while Sally headed off in the direction of Number 4, determined to finally confront her youngest daughter.
...
"What do you mean you can't find the cheese?" Sian asked.
Sophie stood up straight from the fridge and looked at the other girl. "I mean, I can't FIND it, I don't see any in the fridge, we'll just have to have our sarnies without it."
Sian looked at Sophie, eyebrows raised. "Um, hello? Cheese is like the most important part. You can't make a sarnie without it."
"Are you serious?" Sophie smirked.
When it came to food Sian did not mess around. "Yes I'm serious! What?" She added when she saw Sophie was still smirking at her.
"Nothing," Sophie said slyly, pulling Sian closer to her by her waist. "You're just so adorable."
"Oh give over," Sian playfully shoved Sophie who just laughed, but when she looked into the blonde's eyes she could see how they shone and Sophie felt this incredible surge of happiness that Sian was here with her. Sian was hers. She got to have her, all of her. (Even though she had already 'had' her multiple times today already. I guess there was a reason they called it the honeymoon period.)
Sian had been watching Sophie looking at her and recognised the look in her eyes. In fact she probably had had that look on her face most of the day herself. She knew the amount of sex they had been having was probably excessive but it was just SO DAMN GOOD. Sophie was just aMAZing. And for some reason Sian couldn't quite fathom, Sophie kept wanting to take HER clothes off. Her. Sian Powers. The ordinary girl for whom never things never seemed to go right.
But now, now they couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other and as much as Sian would love to go for another round they were in Sophie's kitchen. God only knew what could happen. "Soooph," she said as a warning.
"I know, I know," Sophie said bringing her head closer to Sian's. "We need to eat something." Sian just nodded as she stared at Sophie's mouth that was teasingly close now. "But there's no cheese."
"No there isn't," Sian confirmed, her gaze mesmerised by the other girl's lips.
"And you said we couldn't have sarnies without it."
"You can't." Both their voices had gotten softer, almost to a whisper. But that might have just been due to the breathlessness of them.
"So I guess we better go get some cheese then ay?"
"Fuck the cheese," Sian said as she captured Sophie's lips with her own, not being able to stop herself anymore. And fuck the fact that we're in Sophie's kitchen, and that we'd already done 'it' multiple times today.
Sophie smirked into the kiss, loving how she had been able to get Sian to do exactly what she wanted so easily. Pushing Sian against the counter, their tongues brushed each other and Sophie moaned in response. They broke apart for a quick breath but were back to mouth on mouth straight away, Sian tangling her hands in Sophie's hair and Sophie putting her hands under Sian's thighs to lift her up onto the bench top.
The girls were so absorbed in each other that neither of them heard the front door open and Sally call out, "Sophie?". Sally went through the parlour door also (the girls still oblivious to her presence) and as she went into the lounge room had a full view of her daughter and the girl from the Rover's with their tongues down each others' throats, Sophie's hands making an adventurous trip up Sian's top also.
"What the HELL?"
The two girls sprang apart instantly, Sian jumping off the counter and pulling her shirt down quickly.
"Oh God, Mum!" Sophie exclaimed from the shock before sighing and saying more calmly (but nervously), "I- Mum there's something I kinda need to tell you."
Sally was staring at Sophie as she said almost through gritted teeth, "Sian I'm sorry but I think you should go."
"I'll see you later, yeah," Sian whispered and started to go but Sophie stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"No Sian, you don't need to go," Sophie said, entwining their fingers purposefully so that Sally could see.
"I think she most certainly does!" Sally insisted.
"Mum how can you say that!"
Sally just huffed, saying, "I don't like the influence she's having on you Sophie."
Sophie couldn't believe what her mother was saying. Yes she knew Sally wasn't going to take this scenario terribly well, but really? "I'm 23 years old Mum, not 16! And by the way what do you mean 'influence'?"
"Oh you know exactly what I mean!"
Sian piped up again bravely with, "I really think I should go."
Sophie and Sally simultaneously shouted respectively "NO" and "YES". Sophie looked at Sian and said, "You're staying here with me," pulling her closer. "Mum, Sian and me are together."
"Lesbian my eye. No you are not," Sally fumed. "My daughter is not Gay."
"I don't know what I am," Sophie admitted. "But I do know that I love Sian."
Sian's voice was very soft, but no less confident, "And I love Sophie."
Sally turned to Sian again, "You, don't say a word."
"Don't you dare speak to her that way!" Sophie shouted, stepping in front of Sian protectively.
"How can you love each other, you've only just met, you're just confused."
Sophie groaned in frustration. "We're not CONFUSED alright? I was before but not now." Sophie turned to look at Sian. "Not after I realised the huge mistake I made by running away from you in Southport."
Sally looked confusedly between the tender look the girls were giving each other. "Southport? This has been going on since SOUTHPORT? But you were still with Will! How could you do that to him? Cheat on him with HER?"
"That's it," Sophie had had enough now. "We're leaving Sian, I won't let her talk about you this way." Sophie pulled Sian past her mother towards the front door. "And for your information MUM, Will is GAY. I found out in Southport when I caught HIM cheating on ME." Sophie slammed the front door shut behind them, Sally still standing in the middle of the living room.
...
After that...event...both girls had taken a little time to calm down, Sophie more so. Neither of them really felt like cooking either but as Sian had kept reminding them, they hadn't eaten anything all day so finally they decided to go to the Rovers for lunch. Sian had first been hesitant as it was after all a very public place and people would be seeing them together, her and Sophie. Sophie and her, she liked the sound of that.
When they entered however they were met by Jason and Rosie, who very animatedly waved them over. "Well hello you two, I thought you girls had already gone off to eat," Rosie beamed at them.
Sophie and Sian looked at each other. "We got a bit, distracted."
Rosie smirked knowingly. "Oh, did you now? Well why don't you join us then?"
The girls looked at each other again, nervously this time but agreed, sitting in the booth with Rosie and Jason opposite one another.
It turned out that the girls were indeed VERY hungry (they did have a very ACTIVE day so far) and as soon as they were looking at the menu their stomachs weren't letting them forget it. Meals ordered, drinks bought, everyone waited for the food to arrive while listening to Rosie tell them all about her latest adventures in the modelling business. The other three were all relieved when the food arrived as it gave them something else to focus on while Rosie rambled on further.
During the meal the conversation was mostly the same, centred around Rosie as usual. But there was a point where Sophie felt something against her leg. Looking down she saw that it was Sian's foot and froze. It wasn't that she didn't like it, quite the opposite in fact. Especially when Sian started to rub her foot up and down Sophie's leg. Sophie looked at Sian who looked the picture of innocence, as if everything was normal. No one would have been able to tell from her face what was going on under the table.
Sophie tried to continue eating her food without reacting but then Sian's foot started to go significantly higher up Sophie's leg to the point where Sophie stood up abruptly, excusing herself all flustered and making a dash for the bathrooms.
"What was that all about?" Rosie asked, confused (which let's face it, for Rosie isn't that hard).
Sian shrugged feigning innocence, "No idea. I'll just go check on her." Sian left the other two and headed to the bathrooms to find Sophie splashing water onto her face. Sophie didn't look up when Sian entered so the blonde came right up behind her and said, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself." It was the truth, Sophie had turned her into some sort of sex-crazed fiend.
Sian's breath as she spoke brushed right next to Sophie's ear. This sent shivers down the brunette's spine and she span around, forgetting where they were and pushed Sian slightly roughly against one of the cubicles as she started to kiss the life out of her. The effect was apparently mutual and Sian was only too happy to oblige, not caring about the location either.
"Sian, I was just wondering - WHOA!" At Becky's outburst the girls broke apart (it just didn't seem to be their day). "My bad!" Becky shouted as she turned around straight away and went right back out again.
After a few seconds the initial shock wore off and the girls burst into fits of giggles.
"It's not funny!" Sian laughed, slapping Sophie's arm.
"I know it's not," Sophie managed to get out through the hysterics.
Despite the situation Sian couldn't hold back the laughter either. "Then why are you laughing?"
"Why are YOU laughing?" Sophie was leaning against the cubicle to try and keep herself up right.
"Oh God she's my boss," Sian cried through the tears that were forming in her eyes, she was laughing that hard.
"At least it wasn't my Mum."
"I think Sally ACTUALLY wants to kill me," the giggling finally starting to subside.
Despite the string of bad luck (cough interruptions cough) they had been having, once both girls had recovered from their little episodes and 'freshened up', they went back out into the pub to face whatever else the world had to throw at them.
