Breakup to Makeup
By nikkiandnora
Nikki and Nora had just gotten inside Nora's house when her cell phone rang. Nikki continued into the bedroom as Nora stopped in the living room and answered her phone
"Hey mom."
Hi sweetheart, I'm calling to invite you over to dinner tomorrow night.
Nora remembered she and Nikki had plans to go to dinner tomorrow night so she tried to get out of it.
"I'm sorry mom, I'm busy tomorrow night."
Nora, what are you busy doing?
"Well I ummm…I'll be ahhh." Nora tried to come up with a lie but nothing came to mind.
Nora I will be expecting you at eight. Her mother said in a voice that left no room to argue.
"OK mom, see you then," Nora said before hanging up.
Nikki came back from out of the bedroom to see Nora hanging up the phone. Nora looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Nikki. Mom invited me to dinner tomorrow night and I couldn't get out of it."
Nikki felt her anger rising. This wasn't the first time that Nora had canceled on her.
"Nora, I don't understand why you can't just tell your fucking mom about us."
"Nikki, I told you it's complicated."
"It's always fucking complicated; I thought we were in this for the long haul, that we loved each other."
"Nikki, we are in this for the long haul and I do love you. Very much."
"You say that but you won't tell your damn mother about us and we've been together for over a year!"
"Nikki, please try to understand."
"No, Nora I'm sick of you always canceling on me every time your mom wants to play matchmaker."
"Nikki…"
"You know what? Fuck this. I love you, Nora, but I can't fucking do this anymore. You can come and talk to me when you grow a fucking backbone."
"Nikki, please don't do this." Nora whispered brokenly, but it was too late. Nikki was already through the door, slamming it shut behind her.
Nora broke down and sobbed. That night she tossed and turned all night, her heart feeling like it was smashed into a billion pieces.
Nora forced herself to go to dinner the next night. She stood at her mom's front door trying to pull herself together before knocking on the door. Her mom opened the door and pulled her into a hug before leading her to the living room.
"Nora, I would like you to meet Brad. Brad, this is my daughter I was telling you about."
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Nora. Your mom has told me a lot about you." Brad said taking Nora's hand in his own and kissing it.
Nora gave him what she hoped would be a pleasant smile but it just came across as the fakest smile ever. All she could think about was Nikki. She had tried to call Nikki multiple times but each time she called she just got her voicemail.
Her mom led them into the dining room and they sat down to have dinner. Nora just picked at her food, not the least bit hungry. There was silence around the table until Brad finally spoke
"Nora, I hear you're a detective with the New Orleans Police Department."
Nora was so deep in thought that she didn't hear a word he said.
"Nora!" Her mom called, snapping Nora out of her thoughts.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Nora asked, blinking rapidly to try and focus.
"I hear that you're a detective." Brad repeated.
"Yes, I am," Nora said, unconsciously still picking at her food.
"Nora, are you alright?" her mom asked.
Of course I'm not alright! My heart has been fucking smashed into pieces and I've lost the woman I love because I'm too much of a coward to tell you about Nikki.
Instead of saying this out loud, she pasted on a fake smile and said, "I'm fine, mom, just not feeling that well."
"I'm sorry to hear that, Nora." Brad said sincerely.
Nora smiled at him "Yeah, so am I."
Nora tried to get into the flow of conversation but she just couldn't.
"I'm sorry, but I really don't feel that well. I'm gonna head home. Have a good night, mom." Nora said, kissing her mom on the check.
"Nice meeting you, Brad." And with that said, Nora left and drove straight home.
Once she was home she tried to call Nikki again but she still only got her voicemail. "Nikki, baby, can you please call me? We need to talk. I miss you so much. I love you." She said, voice breaking, before disconnecting.
Nora got ready for bed and once again she had a long and terrible night.
Monday morning at work Nora walked into the precinct and saw that Nikki wasn't there. A moment of panic went through her but before she could dwell on it Nikki walked in. Nikki didn't even acknowledge Nora. She just sat at her desk and did some paperwork. Nora was about to speak when Dan walked in.
"Nikki, Nora, you're up. We've got a homicide." he said before giving them the address.
They walked to the car and Nora got in the driver's seat. Nora tried to talk but Nikki wasn't having any of it
"Nora, we're at work. I don't want to talk about it."
And that's how it continued throughout the week. They went to work and tried to solve the murder. Nora tried talking to Nikki but as before, Nikki didn't want to hear anything.
As the days went by, Nikki was missing Nora more and more. She sat in her living room thinking one night. Nikki knew that Nora loved her. She had no doubt about that. She missed her blonde lover and her heart was breaking even more. She missed sleeping and waking up with Nora. She missed kissing her first thing in the morning. She missed making love to Nora.
Thinking it over, Nikki came to a conclusion. She grabbed her car keys and headed out. Nikki realized that she loved Nora too much to live without her. She decided that she could live with Nora not telling her mom if it means that she could have Nora in her life. Not too long after, she pulled up at Nora's house and knocked on the door.
Nora heard the knocking and didn't feel like going to answer it. There was only person she wanted to see and that would be her dark-haired lover. Hearing the knocking getting louder, Nora made her way to the door and opened it.
"I'm sorry," Nikki said. "I love you so much, Nora. I don't care if you never tell your mom about us. I just want to be with you for the rest of my life."
Nora couldn't speak, she was crying so hard, her heart bursting with happiness. Nora wrapped her arms around Nikki, pulling her into a bruising kiss, hoping that the kiss could convey what she was feeling.
Nikki seemed to understand because she deepened the kiss more, shoving her tongue into Nora's mouth. Backing Nora up, she shut the door behind them.
Nora broke the kiss off, needing to breathe. She tried to push Nikki towards the bedroom but her partner didn't budge.
"Nikki, let's move this to the bedroom."
Nikki took a break from suckling the pulse beating wildly in Nora's neck and lifted her darkened eyes to meet her gaze
"No, I want you here and now."
Nikki lifted her onto the dresser by the door, stepping between her parted legs. She leaned forward once again, capturing Nora's lips. Nikki felt like if it had been months since she had touched Nora like this, when in reality it had only been one week.
Nikki began to unbutton Nora's shirt, then pulled it out of her jeans and slid it off her shoulders, dropping it to the floor.
She reached behind Nora, unfastening her bra and dropping that on the floor as well. She leaned down, capturing a puckered nipple into her mouth.
The throbbing between Nora's thighs was becoming more insistent. She ran her hand through her lover's black hair
"Nikki, please."
Nikki switched to the other nipple, while unbuttoning and unzipping Nora's jeans. She hooked her thumbs on either side and pulled both her jeans and panties down past Nora's knees.
"Kick them off." She instructed.
Nora happily obliged her, kicking them off to the side.
Nikki palmed Nora's breast, whispering in her ear.
"It seems like forever since I've touched you, been inside you."
"Oh God, please," Nora moaned.
Nikki moved one hand to splay against her firm bottom, while slipping two fingers deep into her throbbing hot spot.
"Ooooh, yes," she whimpered.
Nikki began to thrust deeper and faster, loving the sexy sounds her lover was making.
"God, you feel so damn good. I've missed you so much." Nikki said, looking at the pleasure on Nora's face.
Nikki watched, delighted, as Nora's breast jiggled more with the force of her thrusts.
"Nikki, fuck."
Nora's moans became more urgent as she neared her climax.
Nikki added a third finger, pressing her thumb against her clit.
Nora's world erupted; her climax was fast and hard, leaving her trembling with the aftershocks.
Not waiting for her lover to fully recover, Nikki slid to her haunches.
Nora felt Nikki's hot breath against her thighs and canted her hips.
"Hmmmm," Nora purred gripping the dresser harder.
Nikki's tongue reached her entrance, tracing her opening, before moving up to her frantically throbbing bud.
Nora cried out, her hips bucking against the wonderful onslaught.
Nikki grabbed her hips, as her tongue slid over the wet, smooth surface, licking and flicking at her.
Nora's second climax was building rapidly and she thrust herself against Nikki's mouth.
"Please," she gasped "Oh…please." Nora was desperate for release.
Nikki, sensing her desperation, gripped her hips harder and feasted on her. Running her tongue up and down her slick length before thrusting into her.
Nora felt the coiling in her belly tighten as Nikki's tongue drove her mercilessly to the edge.
Nora's moans became cries as she fell over the edge.
Nikki stood up, gently taking her into her arms and held her through her mind-blowing orgasm.
"I love you so much, Nora."
"I love you too, Nikki." Nora whispered, still a little breathless.
The End
