ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ Chapter 7

A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted. Billie Holiday.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

'Then I ended up completely soaked! It's a mess, but it was worth it. How are you? How is your day? Have you taken something for the pain in your head?’ – Received from Wanda.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So… what are you going to do?” Yelena's hoarse voice pulled Y/N out of her thoughts, leaving her phone next to her, forgetting to answer that message.

Y/N looked up to see the blonde arching a curious eyebrow. They were both in the café across the hospital street, sharing a delicious snack before Yelena had to go back to Philosophy 108 and the brunette finally to enjoy her days off.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“About what?” Y/N sipped her latte, trying to hide the smile behind the cup of coffee.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You know about what!” Yelena fought the urge to throw a ball of paper at her, but she stopped herself this time. “About Wanda…”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I don’t know yet.” Y/N shrugged.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Of course you know.” Yelena said under her breath, almost between a scolding and a sigh, giving in… to whatever Y/N was going to do. “Just say that you're playing hard to get. It shows that you are still completely whipped by her, the difference now is that she seems to be behind you like a lost puppy in love.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Of course not!” Y/N said a bit annoyed, but her best friend cocked her head, narrowing those russian green eyes. Despite the six years without her, Yelena still knew her perfectly well, like the first day they met.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“She keeps sending you flowers, food, stupid adorable notes that I don't deny are... cute.” Yelena sighed and looked out the window, it was a beautiful day without a doubt. “Just try not to let either of you get hurt. Don't hurt Wanda if you don't want anything with her.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Sorry? Me? hurt her?” Y/N groaned, completely surprised at those words. “Do you remember who got hurt last time?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I know perfectly well what happened, Y/N, and believe me that she’s still paying for it with me.” Yelena glared at her. “But I still love her like my own sister, and I don't want to see her suffer like she suffered for Vision again. Or you.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

The doctor looked down and took her steaming coffee in her hands. “I know, I'm sorry. I'm just a little tired. Can we not talk about that now?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

She took the opportunity to drink some of her delicious latte, noticing how Yelena looked at her phone curiously for a few seconds and then at her, as if she were a bird of prey trying to get information out of her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“What now?” Y/N blinked nervously.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“My sister is going out tonight, do you have any idea who's the woman she's going out with?” Yelena looked at her in a rather questioning and intimidating way. ㅤㅤㅤ

Y/N smiled, trying to hide the joy in her voice. Her intimidation wouldn't work this time. “No idea at all.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Of course she knew with whom, but she wasn't going to spoil the surprise. Since Natasha's birthday, Jules hadn't stopped talking about how pretty and interesting Nat was, and Natasha apparently asked Y/N for Jules phone number and well… everything happened slowly, or maybe really fast.

Y/N looked down to see her own phone, trying to avoid Yelena's curious questions.

ㅤㅤㅤ

'I'm better, thanks. I’m in the cafe with Yelena. She keeps asking trying to find about Natasha’s date…’

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

‘Natasha keeps going around, she has been thinking about what to wear for half an hour! She's quite adorable tho, I've never seen her like this before.'

Received from Wanda.

ㅤ��ㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤ

Y/N smiled broadly at that message, she was about to reply when a throat clearing made her look up again, Yelena sneering at her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I hope you're not talking about Natasha.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You’ll never know.” Y/N smirked and shrugged.

ㅤㅤㅤ

They both chatted for a while, enjoying their lattes until they were interrupted by a girl with hair as black as night, who arrived a bit in a hurry.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Y/N! Geez! I finally found you!” Jules sighed deeply and awkwardly, she took off her white coat and put on her jacket, so fast. “I just got out of the claws of Von Doom. Phew! So… Do you have it?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Who’s Von Doom?” Yelena asked curiously, surprised by the arrival of that girl. She knew her, she saw her at Natasha's party.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“A reeeeal pain in our ass in that hospital.” Y/N rolled her eyes and looked at her friend. “Okay, I’m glad you made it. Do you have everything? Are you going to tell me how everything is going? Take care of my car, Jules!”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Always. I followed all your tips, I'm going to tell you everything.” Jules smiled solemnly and crossed a hand over her heart but when she turned to see Yelena to say goodbye, she noticed the blonde's curious look on her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So… are you the one trying to win over my beloved sestra?” Yelena narrowed her eyes like an animal about to seize her prey.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Y/N enjoyed the situation smiling, willing to see how far it would go.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I… well… I-” Jules stammered and just decided to leave quickly. “Leaving, bye now!”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Seeing that it wasn't going to be possible to question Jules because she was already leaving that cafe, Yelena turned her gaze to Y/N who just shrugged again.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Don't look at me like that!”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I love you both! Take care! Call me if you need anything!” Wanda waved from the threshold of her door. Billy and Tommy were waving at her from inside the car, Vision greeted the redhead with just a nod and drove out of that house, taking the little ones with him for the whole weekend.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda sighed and closed the door, finally alone. Although she loved being with her little ones, she had to admit that the little moments Vision took with the children meant she could rest, relax and have some time to herself.

ㅤㅤㅤ

After pouring herself a glass of wine, the sokovian sit on the kitchen counter somewhat… bored. What to do now? Without all the screaming and children running, without the questions of 'what are we going to eat tonight, mom?'

ㅤㅤㅤ

Her phone snapped her out of her thoughts, smiling just to know who was texting her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Right now, Natasha and Jules are on a date. Can you believe it?"

Received, Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda bit her lower lip and answered:

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I know, Nat was excited. Pretty nervous, but glad you gave her Jules's phone. Ever since they started talking, she doesn't stop talking about her.”

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I'm glad to see her happy too, since Bruce left her, she's been so lonely.”

Received, from Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Did she tell you where they were going?”

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Jules made me promise not to say anything.”

Received, from Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“When will it be our turn?”

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Wanda...”

Received, from Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Come on... Do you wanna go on a date with me?”

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda bit her lower lip, she knew that perhaps she was passing a limit but she wasn't going to give up either.

It had been two months since came back and Y/N was still keeping distance. The redhead kept fighting but slowly, began to lose hope.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I know I screwed up, but I've been trying to fix it... you can say ‘no’. I know.”

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda put her phone aside and sipped some wine, looking out the kitchen window. A quiet night, a rather noisy silence inside her. So many mixed thoughts and feelings.

Another notification popped up, she sighed.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I know. You've been really nice to me lately.”

Received, from Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

"So, will you come on a date with me?"

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

She tried one more time. Expectantly, the Sokovian could see how the 'writing' in the screen moved again and again. Anxiety slowly devouring her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Maybe... When?” Received, from Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda's lips parted, she couldn't believe what she was reading.

She thought for a few seconds, when? what to say? She had never gotten this far.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“What about now?” Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

A risky move.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“But keep it a secret, I wouldn't want to overshadow Romanoff's date.” Received, from Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda's heart beating again so wild and a huge smile lit up her face. Her fingers trembled as she typed, she even feared dropping the phone from the emotion running through her body. She was going on a date with Y/N!

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Is it really a date if we haven't planned it? Or do you have something in mind?"

Send.

ㅤㅤㅤ

A huge smile appeared on Wanda's lips, finally after a long time sunk in a constant agony of guilt and loneliness, a genuine smile appeared on that beautiful mouth of hers when she read the answer:

“Something like that.” Received, from Y/N.

The dark-haired woman took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a few seconds before opening them and falling back to reality. She had been close to Natasha Romanoff for about fifteen minutes… Well, only because they had traveled together in that beautiful, shiny black and a bit sexy Camaro 69.

Jules promised to pick her up, although her own car was at the repair garage, Y/N decided to gave Jules her car, only if she promised to take care of it with her own life. Even more.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“That was…something.” Jules said a bit amused, getting out of the car next to the redhead and handing the keys to the valet, but not before emphasizing that he should take care of the car as if it were his own life. “Again, sorry, my car is at the repair garage...”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Don't worry. You're not crazy enough to drive like Y/N.” Natasha smiled sideways. Once they both looked at each other, Jules couldn't help but sigh at how beautiful Nat looked.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You look really good without your leather jacket and jeans.” Jules flirted, smiling like a dumb teenager. “I mean, you look beautiful in that jacket and jeans. You always look beautiful.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Natasha wore a beautiful black and white dress, which made her loose red hair contrast perfectly. Light makeup and an exquisite and seductive parfume, worthy of Natasha Romanoff.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You don't look bad at all, doc.” Nat winked at her, noting how beautiful the doctor was that night. Julia was wearing a dark, slightly open shirt, a dark blue blazer, and tight pants. Picture here.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Her black hair was down and her make up was really soft but good.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Soon-to-be-a-doc.” She corrected as she held out her arm for Nat to take. That gesture surprised the russian, but after a few seconds, she accepted it.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Both walked down one of the lit up NY streets until they reached the entrance of a building. Seemed quite nice but aroused Natasha's curiosity. It didn't look like the entrance to a restaurant, but she did see how the guy in charge of security greeted Jules kindly. In spanish.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So where are you taking me? How do I know if you are not kidnapping me?” Nat arched an eyebrow, clearly messing with her.

��ㅤㅤ

“I wouldn't be able to kidnap you, detective. You sure kick my ass so damn fast. And if I did, let me tell you that I would never let you go.” Jules cocked her head, inviting her inside together. Nat just bit her lower lip, hiding a smile.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“To be honest, I was going to take you to a 'Solve a murder' but I thought you'd be bored.” Jules was stunned to see that she managed to make Natasha laugh. Both walked through the large and quite luxurious hall, a long black carpet that guided their way and dim lights going up the stairs until they reached the second floor.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Where are we going to do then?” Natasha looked around, at that precise moment one of the receptionists approached them and with a friendly smile she accompanied both to one of the larger doors, opening it for both of them.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Why don't you find out for yourself, Detective? I can't tell you everything, it would spoil the fun.” Jules smiled when she saw Natasha's eyes widen.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“It’s a…” The redhead didn't know exactly how to describe it.

ㅤㅤㅤ

In front of her was a huge room with several tables and a quite pleasant atmosphere, dim lights and waiters who came and went.

The background music caught her attention, it sounded like a fairly modern version of a tango.

In the center of that room, some people dared to dance that tango with natural delicacy and sensuality. Other couples just laughed and had fun trying to follow the steps.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“A beautiful but very different restaurant?” Jules commented amused as they both walked following the waitress, until they found the table that Jules reserved. “It really is. Gracias, señorita.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Both took a seat in front of that huge window that overlooked the city, looking at each other with a shy smile, but at the same time a bit flirtatious.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So…”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So…”

ㅤㅤㅤ

They both let out a giggle.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Sorry, I don't usually do dates...” Jules shrugged as she took off her blazer.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I understand you, I've barely had time between capturing thugs, seeing how the Avengers sometimes get the credit, and having a 'normal' life.” Natasha joked.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“How about we start with… a good wine? Red or white, Miss Romanoff?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Surprise me.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Sighing deeply, Y/N stood silently in front of the door. That house which she hadn’t set foot in for six years. She was ready, raising her hand to ring the bell when a memory flashed through her mind.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Hi.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Every time you come you bring me a different one.” Wanda shook her head and took it in her hands, delighted by that gesture of hers. She smiled, in love. But she would never tell.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I just want to make you feel special as you are…” Y/N looked at the flower and pointed to it. “It's an anemone… it represents abandonment... but also hope and expectation. It’s the ideal flower to say that… I missed you.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

The girl looked at Wanda so in love, she could see how dazzled she felt by the figure of that redhead. Wanda… So damn beautiful, so delicate and sensual, so unique. Wanda taking her breath away just by looking at her, the only woman capable of stealing Y/N's heart.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Shaking her head, Y/N forced herself to wake up from that memory. Seeing herself, excited about that woman who was now on the other side of the door, about to open it.

ㅤㅤㅤ

There she was again, as beautiful as ever. Six years later she looked exactly the same. With her wild, flowing red hair, and her big, green eyes that held a unique illusion.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Panicking.

Y/N's heart skipped a beat, and although she tried to hide it, she scolded herself knowing that coming over maybe was a 'bad idea'. Hiding her feelings was going to be harder than she expected.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Hello.” Y/N broke the silence.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Hi, come on in!” Wanda greeted, happy to see Y/N again… there. So many memories. “I didn't think you would come.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I know, me neither.” Y/N smiled a bit shy, fidgeting a bit nervously until Wanda stepped aside to let her pass.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Is that your motorcycle?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Yeah. I gave Jules my car tonight… her car was being repaired and she wanted to impress Natasha.” She rolled her eyes, making Wanda smile.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The brunette looked around, fascinated to notice that after six years everything remained in its place. Except for some pictures or some new stuff, everything looked exactly the same and she knew it was “Wanda’s touch’.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I haven't stepped foot in this place in years, it looks exactly the same as before.” Y/N nodded.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Yeah. Everything remains the same, except for some small changes that I needed to make, you know, renovation.” Wanda said somewhat shyly, smiling, nervous in a good way.

ㅤㅤㅤ

As if they were two young people in love, they were facing each other, staring at each other and playing with their hands.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So, what's your idea?" Wanda tilted her head, curious. Y/N told her it would be nice to see each other but then she kept quiet about their 'plans'.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The brunette smiled mischievously and took her bag, pointing out some objects that she had inside it.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You have a rooftop, right? A balcony maybe? Today is reeeally an interesting night.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda nodded but she smiled somewhat confused, not really understanding what it was about.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Are you sure? I don't want to be embarrassed in front of strangers on my first date.” Natasha asked, giggling as Jules dragged her onto the dance floor, after drinking a delicious glass of wine.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Both of them ordered pasta for dinner, but since it would take a while, they decided to accept the waitress's suggestion and try learn some steps.

Of course, some seemed to execute that dance in a sensual and passionate way, something that always defined tango. Others just tried and laughed when they failed, because the idea was that. To learn, have fun and have a good time.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Of course, come here…” Jules kept Natasha's hand intertwined with hers, before turning to face her face to face.

The brunette approached Natasha, placing a hand on her waist in a "possessive" way.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Don't you think we should wait after dinner for that?” Natasha teased.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Shut up and learn.” Jules said wrinkling her nose at her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The brunette clung to Natasha's body again and took her other hand, to guide the steps that she would execute. “It is said that tango is danced «listening to the body of the other» and it is always in a couple.”

A new song started, special for both. ‘Por una Cabeza’ by Carlos Gardel.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“It is a two-headed monster, a four-legged beast, languid or lively, that lives how long a song lasts and dies murdered by the last beat… this is how the Argentine writer Alicia Dujovne Ortiz defines tango.” Jules whispered in a passionate way as she danced, every step she took, Natasha followed her to perfection. They complemented each other, surprising both.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Por una cabeza, todas las locuras Su boca que besa Borra la tristeza Calma la amargura

ㅤㅤㅤ

Every three steps, Julia stopped pulling her hips against Natasha’s body, moving in a slow, sensual way. It was a back and forth, a swing of flirtations and at the same time, a diversity of executed steps. Intertwined, always together. Legs that moved so slow and then fast, attracted each other and moved away.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Tango started in Buenos Aires, with the lower urban classes, including slaves, immigrants, and the poor and working classes.” Jules whispered in the redhead's ear. “Usually it was danced between two men. It was said to be a dance between 'machos'... what a stupid old thing, don't you think? Look at us.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Natasha smiled when she heard her, she couldn't help but feel fascinated by the knowledge and by the passionate way in which she told it, so similar to the way she moved.

The melody advanced and became faster, some dancers were encouraged to perform interesting pirouettes but they just kept moving, intertwining and having fun.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The song finally came to an end, with one last beat, exposing both women who were now staring at each other. Their faces, separated by a few centimeters and a tension worthy of a tango melody. They were ready for a kiss… but not now.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Natasha's heart pounded, afraid that Jules might hear it over the melodies in the background. If only she knew, that woman was beginning to win her over without even trying.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You know a lot about this for an American.” Natasha finally said, breaking the moment, but her gaze was still on the other woman's lips.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I'm from Boston, but my parents were from Argentina... well, my mom. My dad was Irish.” Jules smiled noticing the tension between the two, now it was breaking when they saw the waitress approaching the table with the food. “Now, if you'll give me a moment and we'll have some delicious pasta, I might tell you even more...”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Natasha just nodded her head and tried not to smile, but it was impossible. She walked next to Jules, but she never let go of her hand and that was all Jules needed to feel in paradise.

“Are you sure what you're doing? We could get sick, you know?” Wanda said as they walked to the balcony. The brunette was carrying two huge blankets while Wanda was carrying two cup of hot cocoa.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Don't worry then, I'm a doctor! Come on, Maximoff, when was the last time you took such a risk?” Y/N teased and rolled her eyes, laying the blankets on the confy couches. It was a fairly cool night but nothing that could be fixed with a good warmth blanket.

Y/N helped Wanda put down the cups of cocoa and look for some marshmallows.

ㅤㅤㅤ

They both made themselves comfortable on one of the sofas together, while they watched that beautiful starry sky, together with a steaming and warm chocolate. It was perfect, sure.

Wanda hid her smile as she brought that cup to her lips, the delicious taste of it making her close her eyes in delight.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I admit it, this is cozy.” The redhead said after licking her lips, tilting her head to see how Y/N was still staring at the sky. “But why here?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Finally, the brunette tilted her head to look at Wanda and simply fell silent for a moment. She even smiled at the redhead's insistence, so adorable.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Because tonight…” Y/N whispered, bowing slightly, in a playful way. “It's meteor shower night.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda frowned at her a bit confused and then turned to look at the sky. Thanks to the fact that the place where she lived was away from the light pollution of the city, both were able to enjoy the show. Little falling meteors were beginning to dominate the dark sky.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Oh my god, they are beautiful. I had no idea.” Wanda said surprised, completely excited and happy to see such a magnificent show. Y/N giggled and tilted her head so she could whisper to her as they both enjoyed the delicious chocolate together.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Yup. They are called 'Ursids', they come from the Ursa Major and the Ursa Minor.” Y/N explained as she watched one of the meteors fall and get lost slowly, she pointed to the constellation or rather, where it should be seen.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“A Roman myth involves both bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. A beautiful maiden, Callisto, hunting in the forest, grew tired and laid down to rest. The god Jupiter noticed her and was smitten with her beauty...”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda smiled, completely spellbound listening to that story. The way Y/N talked, showing off a bit the little knowledge she had, always fascinated her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Jupiter's wife, Juno, became extremely jealous of Callisto. So, some time later, Juno discovered that Callisto had given birth to a son and decided that Jupiter must have been the father. To punish her, Juno changed Callisto into a bear so she would no longer be beautiful… Callisto's son, called Arcas, was adopted and grew up to be a hunter, while Callisto continued to live in the forest.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

The brunette turned to see Wanda, getting lost in those beautiful green eyes that shone with that full moon. She could notice a certain joy in these, and that made her own heart beat wildly.

After six years, six long years, she still had the power to make her feel this way. Her heart pounding, the little bats flapping their wings on her tummy and her legs weak as jelly.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Although she knew that Wanda was to blame for her greatest pain, she also couldn't deny that she was trying to make it up to her. Wanda could never erase her pain, but she could help her heal to build a better future.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“One day Callisto saw Arcas and was so overjoyed at seeing her son that she rushed up to him, forgetting she was a bear. Arcas thought he was being attacked and shot an arrow at Callisto. Jupiter saw the arrow and stopped it from hitting Callisto... To save Callisto and her son from further damage from Juno, Jupiter changed Arcas into a bear also, grabbed them both by their tails, and swung them both into the heavens so they could live peacefully among the stars. The strength of the throw caused the short stubby tails of the bears to become a bit elongated.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Y/N smiled when she saw that Wanda seemed relaxed and glad that the story did not end in such a tragic way as she supposed. The brunette took one of her hands to caress her cheek, Wanda closed her eyes. Oh, the touch.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You love those big fluffy animals, don’t you?” The Sokovian started with her eyes still closed, widening when they both giggled.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Shut up.” She settled back to look at the sky, playing being hurt. Wanda hesitated for a moment if she would follow her heart, reason told her to be patient but she couldn't help but feel how her entire world was shaken by the presence of that woman by her side.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Without waiting another second, she wrapped her arms around Y/N's body, resting her head on the brunette's shoulder.

But far from taking it as something bad or feeling that it was too much, the doctor just smiled and kissed Wanda’s forehead gently, snuggling against her body.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“But yes, I do.” Y/N whispered. “They take care of those they love, I hope I can do it too.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You do.” Wanda looked up, appreciating the face of the woman she loved since forever, and denied so much. Denied herself being able to be happy, a mistake so stupid that surely, she would pay her whole life.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Please, let me do this right.” Wanda said again, taking Y/N's attention. The redhead brought a hand to the doctor's cheek and caressed it gently, with a devotion that she never felt before.

ㅤㅤㅤ

That look took a beat from her heart, what to say? How to refuse? If everything in her asked her to kiss those lips again, to fall back and sink into Wanda once more and forever.

Hers. Her lips, as alluring and teasing as ever, inviting her to melt into them once more. Get lost forever. Like quicksand, dragging you through your body.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Kiss her. She wanted it so bad.

Unable to take it anymore, the redhead broke the tension between them and kissed Y/N’s lips, joining once more.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Andromeda and the Milky Way, colliding for the first time. That was the way they both felt, as the little winged creatures in her womb began to flap their wings in desperation.

Wanda was her Milky Way. Y/N was Andromeda, both destined to crash. To unite, love and destroy each other. To put themselves together, to create something new together.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. Six years away from her, six years without being able to feel the taste of her kisses, the warmth and softness of her mouth.

All those years where she met so many women but none ever managed to make her feel all those unique sensations.

A short kiss, but enough to complement each other like never before.

Oh, it was divine. ㅤㅤㅤ

As soon as they parted from that kiss, a smile appeared on Wanda's lips, completely stunned, and without even being able to help it, a more dreamy look on Y/N.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Slowly.” Y/N whispered.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Slowly… We can make it.” Wanda whispered the same way. She snuggled against Y/N's body to be able to continue watching that beautiful meteor shower, that although the meteor seemed really cool… enjoying the time by her side was already the best plan in this universe.

After parking outside that beautiful house, Jules noticed that Natasha was still staring at her, with a look that couldn't differentiate between curiosity, interest and flirtation.

The background music seemed to liven up the tension between them a bit; they smiled.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“So…that was really quite a peculiar date…” Natasha started to speak this time, smiling but quickly adding before Jules took it the wrong way. “But in very pretty way.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

For a moment, the girl had felt her heart skip a beat at the word 'peculiar' but then she managed to breathe, giggling like a lovesick fool.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I'm glad you liked it.” Jules nodded, both enjoying each other's company over Hailee Steinfeld's 'I Love You's'.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The russian watched out of the corner of her eye as her house waited there, completely lonely and without hesitation, Natasha took another step.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Would you like to come in? Maybe have a cup of coffee… or maybe something stronger.” Natasha looked down for a moment, trying not to sound like exactly what she wanted to sound like. It was quite a strange feeling, she always been a flirtatious sexy and direct woman but the sincere and lovely look of that girl managed to... make her feel in such a 'peculiar' way.

She was a passionate woman, determined to live for the moment.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I'd love to.” Jules said, owner of huge dark brown eyes. She kept her hands on the steering wheel of the car for a moment trying to stay cool, everything she had been dreaming of for a long time was now coming true. How to say 'no'? “But I think it's better to leave it for another time.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Silence reigned, Natasha seemed somewhat confused by that answer. Was she being rejected? She never received a 'no' to that...

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Don't think I'm not interested, in fact, I would love to be with you.” Jules nodded quickly, her words coming out of her mouth and she had no control over what she said. “I swear to you, it's one of the things I've wanted most in my life!”

Okay, maybe that was too much.

ㅤㅤㅤ Natasha arched an eyebrow playfully. Jules sighed, defeated and tired of her own babbling.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“What I mean is...” The dark-eyed girl took a deep breath, taking Natasha's hand. “That I would love to go with you, but the truth is that I want to do something different. You’re beautiful, Natasha, you are… amazing. And I really like you.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Natasha's eyes stayed on the girl who, without a doubt, had left her completely amazed and maybe a little crushed with her checkered sincerity and her babbling.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“You’re hot as hell, and really cute, and smart, badass and REALLY amazing… And I've liked you ever since I saw you in the hospital when one of your partners was injured, I think his name was Clint, and you were always there holding his hand. You didn’t leave him, never. Even when so many doctors asked you to step aside and you were too stubborn to accept it.” Jules followed, nodding quickly. “But I don't want to be the same as the others, I want this time to be different.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

As soon as she finished saying it, Natasha couldn't resist anymore and cradled the brunette's face in her hands before losing both of them in the softest, most passionate and delicious kiss that both of them have had in their lives.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The warmth of her other's lips made Natasha smile slightly in that kiss. The taste of these, she could feel a slight hint of raspberry in them.

It seemed like it had lasted an eternity, after a moment they had to finally separate with a cheerful smile from both women.

Natasha just smiled a little shyly after walking away from that kiss. “I'll see you soon then?”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Jules bit her lower lip with a dreamy look. Her eyes shone as brightly as the stars that night. “Sooner than you expect.”

The desperate sighs that got away between kisses, both warm bodies were under the covers of that bed. Red hair scattered on the white pillows, her hands entwined with Y/N's.

It only took one more movement to bring them both to an orgasm that made their hips tremble, together, always together. In some erotic dance between both bodies that finally reached its final beat, ending with both moans complementing each other as well as their naked bodies. Hearts that intertwine.

Just one kiss on her lips, was all it took to seal their future.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Y/N was on top of her, caressing her, filling her, making Wanda hers one more time. Running through her again after six years of trying to forget every inch of her skin, where she had sworn to forget her sighs and the taste of her skin.

Now her sighs of pleasure were a divine melody.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Who did she want to deceive? She couldn't forget her, she couldn't forget Wanda even by losing herself in the different women each night. The love Y/N felt for her was exponential and eternal.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“That wasn't very slow.” Wanda said trying to take a breath, completely agitated. She could still feel her thighs tremble and the warmth of them after reaching orgasm and that made her smile happily. Y/N smiled before stealing a short kiss and settling down next to her.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“It wasn't at all.” Admitted the brunette, shaking her head as hse admired the body of the woman next to her. Wanda’s pale skin, so silky and warm, invited again to snuggle into her and lose herself forever.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The redhead noticed Y/N's gaze and blushing slightly, she sought her place snuggling against the brunette's chest, caressing gently her breasts with the fingertips.

ㅤㅤㅤ “This feels like a dream...”

ㅤㅤㅤ

“It’s not.” Y/N assured, kissing her forehead gently. Almost as if she wanted to make sure that it wasn't a dream, she should touch it, was all this real?

ㅤㅤㅤ

Reality hit her so hard, remembering the times she escaped from that bed. Where Wanda made her go home before dawn came.

Y/N was about to get up but Wanda kept her in the same position, not willing to let her go.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“Soon it will dawn.” Y/N whispered.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda just shook her head, snuggling even more against her body. She sighed. “We don’t do that anymore. Stay, please. I want you here with me.”

Those words made Y/N's heart melt, how many times she dreamed of hearing that?

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I missed you too much.” Wanda confessed, inhaling the scent of her beloved and closing her eyes. She ended up leaving a small and cute kiss on Y/N’s chest. “I don't want to lose you again, ever again. You are really everything to me, and I know I have been very stupid, and selfish… mostly selfish. I was a cold hearted bitch… but I have learned my lesson. I don't want to walk away from you.”

ㅤㅤㅤ

Wanda rested her head on Y/N's chest. For a moment, Y/N's ears turned slightly flushed knowing that Wanda would surely hear her own heart pounding at those words.

How many times had she wished with all her might that the redhead would say something like that to her? She cried nights, wishing and imagining in her old room at College, thinking that the redhead would regret it and appear at her door, asking for forgiveness.

Six years where she ended up killing all the illusions of having Wanda Maximoff by her side again, burying them completely at the bottom of the ocean when Wanda died because of the snap.

ㅤㅤㅤ

The nights where she mourned knowing that she could never even hear that voice, that accent, could never hear an apology, could never said to Wanda how much she hurted her.

Y/N could never tell her that she truly loved her… or hear Wanda say it.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Six years loving a woman she thought lost and now she lay in her arms, sharing warmth under a cold night.

ㅤㅤㅤ

“I missed you a lot.” Y/N finally confessed, swallowing hard. It was a big risk, again opening her heart like that, but she had to tell Wanda the truth. Couldn't lie, especially seeing the enormous smile of the Sokovian when she heard her words.

Wanda ended the distance between them, sealing that night with a passionate and needy kiss, feeling her heart jump because now they were together again.

And this time, she wasn't going to waste it.

here goes some amazing and lovely people tags ✨ : @dudaaaluthor @marvell-love - @ etheriaaly - @idcplss - @how-to-disappearrr - @simp4nat - @cristin-rjd - @ lonewalker17 @zairaaaa @mrscromanoff @kacka84

ㅤㅤㅤ

I want to thank everyone who reads me, it really means a lot. Sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm so sorry I couldn't get on earlier. I got sick, my girlfriend came to live with me, I had horrible days at work... I'm so sorry! I promise to take less, or try better.

Some of you told me that you were hoping to see a little bit of Jules and Nat? I hope you liked it, I love seeing Natasha Romanoff being happy. She deserves it. Again, thanks to the people who leave a ❤️ , reposts and comments, you make me keep writing.

Bear hugs to y'all! 🐻

hello! can you do a reading on newjeans upcoming comeback and how successful it will be? thank you!

newjeans' comeback reading | 04.04.2024

what we should expect?: 5 of cups rx, the hanged man, 4 of cups rx • ace of pentacles

honestly, as much as i can see, this is about their comeback concept. except something min heejin would usually do (from concept perspective). it's not that much "as simple as that" because whatever concept min heejin (and possibly the girls) will want to do, it won't be that experimental and innovative. therefore, the stories of the double singles will most probably be ignored because it's already .. common. nonetheless this will be successful no matter what, so it seems that nwjns will have similar sound or the same as their previous songs.

should we worry of this?: temperance rx, queen of wands, the empress rx • 7 of pentacles

to some extent.. yes but because of the boycott some fans (not specifically bunnies) are doing because they want to remove scooter out of the corporation ador and newjeans are in. ador is DEPENDING A LOT on these album sales because this brings the company independence from the corporation's team. however, i don't see significant decrease but sort of gradual (like if for their previous album they had 600k sales in their 1st week, now it can be 500k or 400k, sth like that). i am unsure how much chinese people can buy for newjeans too bc of their own issues with the paper, or it was the inflation, i really cannot remember, but this can play significant role too. still, i feel the boycott the most.

how the comeback will be percieved? (card pov: bunnies, bunnies, overall, k-netizens, outsiders • bottom card): the tower rx, justice, 10 of swords rx, the star, queen of swords • 7 of cups

bunnies: there can be some sort of riot from bunnies because of the symbolism of the concept min heejin is making. i can see the mixed opinions some of them will have (example: newjeans is talking about politics somehow, bunnies will either defend it or will just be furious about it, the mixed opinions might be rare occurances). they will like the songs but not the story behind it.

k-netizens: they'll LOVE it!

outsiders: this era will make newjeans more known in foreign lands than before possibly due to connections hybe have with the usa radios and etc. i don't feel achieving something significant :|

overall: i'd say as usual as the reversed 10 of swords is usuaully a neutral card of mine. they can be more expressive though from one or another side.

success: the fool rx, the chariot, king of swords rx • the moon

newjeans might start promoting even more into foreign lands. i've read about japanese debut, right? this seems bold and risky desicion from ador's side, or even hybe's side (i feel ador more tbh). although newjeans will release one of these singles as japanese cf ost first in april, this is just .. it feels really risky. i understand the anticipation, and i am not saying it won't be as expected or even exceeding it, but ador should act very, very cautious in the japanese industry as i see that at some point (i am putting the fanmeet aside and also the debut) hybe will try to force their connections into newjeans in japan either for the group to promote more in the western industry or to overwork there. the comeback seems to do well though. i wouldn't say like usual though as this is more visible behind the scenes for some reason.

look, i know that workload isn’t the only factor contributing to the ACL epidemic, but the fact that it’s not even 30 days into 2024 and you could already field a starting 11 of woso ACL injuries, and fifa only want to add more games to the load with that club world cup in 2026? they’re just hungry for money.

on paper, a club world cup is awesome. but there’s about 38303849 things that need to happen first. yeah, there needs to be research, but there already has been so much research that clubs aren’t using. better playing surfaces, equipment made for women, more PTs per player, more staff in general, diet planning around menstrual cycles, better accommodations, i could go on and on. and clubs and federations around the world need less disparity within their own leagues.

there is research, but it’s all fucking useless if no one USES IT.

(the tailoring of nutrition around cycles bit is really interesting and i would suggest listening to the episode of the recap show where christen and tobin interview dawn scott. i’ve linked the episode here but you can also find it on youtube and skip to the interview)

oh please gay middle aged men….

ok i wanted to answer this as soon as i got it but it was past midnight for me and i had to go to sleep lol. anyway i'm awake now so It's Time. (i wrote so much more than i thought i would. i've been typing for like an hour...)

so it all started when i had to write a 10 minute play for a creative writing project last year. we did some brainstorming exercises to make sure everyone in the class had something compelling to write for, and one of those exercises involved selecting common tropes in famous plays at random. so we had to pick three slips of paper from the box and come up with a story that ties in the three tropes we ended up with. the professor was a little concerned when i pulled "nationalism," "fate vs free will," and . a third thing i can't for the life of me remember. it honestly might have been like "nature vs man" lol i don't know. anyway, everyone was surprised when i actually came up with something.

the original story goes like this: three average american dudes living average american lives. they don't follow soccer, but they know that team usa is somehow on their way to the world cup, so they've employed their usual (over-the-top) superstitions to help them along. the night before the championship, one of them orders chinese takeout (they're not allowed to order "enemy cuisine" until that team is out of the running (china hasn't qualified for the world cup since 2002 but just pretend with me)) and ends up with an extremely specific fortune cookie that says as long as the three of them watch the whole match, usa will win. naturally, the paper then spontaneously combusts and he has to convince the other two without it.

so, on a stormy night three dudes who know next to nothing about soccer but combined have all the sports-related superstitions in the world are now watching the world cup, knowing that they have already set the outcome of the game in their favor just by seeing it through but not trusting that enough to abandon their frankly insane rituals. most of the comedy of the play is tied to someone being told to absolutely under no circumstances sit down/stand up/touch the tv remote/talk about losing/talk about winning/etc. in the end, the power briefly goes out in the storm, the game is lost in the few seconds they aren't watching, and the play closes with the commentators dragging usa for an incredible loss while the guys realize what happened.

i was happy with the play and received great remarks on it, but i've been wanting to rewrite it some before putting it anywhere. more importantly tho i spent so long writing these guys for a ten minute play that i came up with all sorts of side info for them. i also changed their names because i didn't like the ones i wrote for the class (i gave them dudebro names but they weren't middle-aged sounding enough lol).

first of all, they're in a polycule. they've known each other since childhood but only got together in adulthood, and they don't live together just yet. they all work fairly steady jobs and spend their time off at one of their places depending on what they plan on doing.

the one hosting the fifa watch party is adam. he's the most superstitious and as a former star athlete he knows the most of the three (minimal) about soccer. he has the nicest place with the biggest tv and keeps it mostly clean. it is mentioned in the play that he likes to watch asmr videos with the sound off because he doesn't like the sound.

the one who opened the fortune cookie is kenny, short for kenneth. he doesn't understand or give a damn about any sport and is extremely skeptical, but was interested to see how his weird as fuck fortune would turn out. he also drinks too much dr pepper. this does come up in the play. his place is actually a mess (he's very forgetful) but the other guys find it endearing. he thinks it's bizarre that the first guy watches asmr for the visuals since it's supposed to be about the sound.

the third guy is curtis. he's pretty superstitious but the only sport he really understands and pays attention to is american football. he spends most of the time acting super "usa! usa!" to the point where the other two are like "hey man you're not usually like this we're here for you if you need to talk." he's very emotional because he has a big heart. his house is a little messy but only because he has two or three dogs that everyone loves very much. he thinks asmr stands for "audio something something something."

i could continue to make up new things about them forever. they're like old friends to me. kenny loves food but can't cook (he Can but it doesn't turn out very well). curtis is the Real chef of the three, and the other two want him to make a living of it but he's not confident enough in his abilities. adam is a little bit scared of dogs but was introduced very gently to curtis' dogs and now they're mostly chill. kenny doesn't yet know that he's a cat person because he's a big fan of dogs and doesn't know that those aren't mutually exclusive (and then one day he rescues a stray kitten and that animal becomes his Child). curtis got the other two into street fighter when they were younger and is still a little upset that they both turned out to be better than him (and that they still are). god. my guys. my guys.

i love boring characters who experience situations it's like fun to me please understand. i've been wanting to write more plays with them and whatnot. whenever i get around to that i'll probably post about it on neocities :)

ok that's enough rambling for one morning lol hope everyone enjoyed it 👍

Didn't Magda read the poem after the Japan game though since that would be her 100th cap? She said she knew after they defeated USA she knew there'd be one more game and that she'd get to play game number 100 during the World Cup. She also said she didn't know how the game was going to end, so she wrote two different versions. Had an A-side and a B-side on that piece of paper. Miss Magdalena "I like to plan" Eriksson strikes again 😂

omg only Magda would write two poems foreach scenario 😂

𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭, 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐦*𝐭, 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩

𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: 𝐢 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 🥺

he can still remember the very first day he met her — it was his first day on campus as part of his business management degree program, she’d been sitting under the tree reading a book, her silken locks flowing through the beautiful spring breeze, it looked like a painting of some sort that he couldn’t help but he entranced by.

it felt idiosyncratic in a way, he wasn’t the type to lose composure, be it on or off the pitch yet here he was, slowly but surely becoming hooked on an individual whom he hadn’t uttered a single syllable to, it seemed innocent at first, each day he would head to class he’d find her sitting there with a book in her hand and often times a cup of coffee.

four weeks … a complete month.

and he hadn't gathered an ounce of courage to approach her — throughout his time observing her, he’d discovered that they shared several classes, she was the independent owner of a landscape design company that had a moderate success which made sense given that the participants of that class were quite informative when it came to business.

he’d discovered so much and then some; yet he couldn’t bring himself up to speak to her. until …

he’d gotten to the lecture hall a bit late, the only seat available being that next to her — the mere fact he’d be sitting within close proximity had his cheeks redden as he carefully laid out his belongings, then offered her a sweet smile which she happily returned then shifted her focus back to the lecture.

every now and then, he’d steal a glance from her when he believed she wasn’t looking – it was rather arduous not to look at her as her beauty was akin to that of a beautiful spring breeze.

as the lecture concluded, he decided to try his luck and speak to her, " excuse me? " he said with a soft tone.

she looks up and smiles brightly, " hi " she said with a cheerful tone.

his heart had fluttered, her voice was gentle akin to a silken pillow one would rest their head on, " i … erm … " he chuckles nervously before adding. " i couldn’t help but notice how equipped you are about finance management and i was wondering if you’d be able to help me out because this is my first time "

she smiled softly, " of course … we can arrange study dates if you want? "

study dates, … no césar, don’t get too excited it’s just study dates. he chastised himself before smiling, " sure, here’s erm … here’s my number " he hands the piece of paper in which he had written his number.

" i’ll text you later to figure things out " she said with a soft tone before giggling and extending her hand, " where are my manners? hi i’m y/n l/n commonly known as y/n/n "

" nice to meet you " he grins shaking her hand, " césar azpilicueta, most people call me azpi "

" ah nice to meet you … latin american? " she wonders.

" likewise and erm … no, i’m uh … spanish actually " he chuckles softly.

" ooh … sorry about that " she said with an apologetic smile.

" don’t worry " he grins. " where are you from? your accent is … unique "

" not that unique " she states with a shy tone before adding. " i’m mixed, my father is german and my mother is colombian and because we moved in between, it kinda affected my accent "

" oh, that’s interesting " he states with an impressed expression, " and did you always live in the usa? "

she shakes her head and smiles, " i actually live in london "

his eyes widen, " really? so do i !! "

she grins, " yeah? what do you do there? "

he blushed from her inquiry, " i’m a … i’m a football player "

" really? oh my gosh i feel so stupid, i’m sorry i don’t keep up with local football or football in general, i’m always knee deep in work " she giggles.

jesus, what is it about her that’s driving me insane? he wonders before replying, " it’s fine, it’s actually good that you don’t " he chuckles.

" aw, fame huh? " she said sympathetically.

he nods softly, " well i better get going, don’t wanna hold you up any longer, i’ll see you around then "

" you most certainly will " she nods.

love is indeed unexpected, and for him — it’d taken a month and a half for him to realize that he wanted to be around her at all times, their study dates were refreshing, engaging in fruitful conversations that were either related to their lectures or just general topics, he found himself intrigued by her love for landscape design, and her several designs that were quite creative that he opted to make the passing comment of hiring her to design his back garden.

as time went on, he found himself seeking her presence further as their study dates developed into friendly encounters beyond the realm of school — there’d been moments where he wanted, no he ached to have her yet the prominent fear of rejection coupled with the fact that there was a significant decade age gap between them acted as a wall between them until … a study night had transformed into something more.

" what’s your biggest fear? " he had asked as the pair decided to end their study night with a glass of wine.

" i guess not being good enough at what i do, there’s a reason why i chose to be a landscape designer, we’re often so negligent that we forget to appreciate nature for what it is " she responds with a soft tone, " how about you? "

" me? " he reiterated and chuckled, " honestly, not being able to give back, it’s why i chose to complete my studies, i plan on opening up my own academy to ensure that these kids eric even more opportunities "

she cooed, " aw, that’s so sweet " she nudged him playfully then said. " you’ve got a good heart césar "

he blushed then murmurs, " thank you "

suddenly — a wave of silence falls over them before she broke it. " césar, it’s been nine months since we erm … and tell me that i’m the only one seeing it but, there is something between us, right? "

his eyes shot up; his face becoming as red as a tomato, " i … uh … " he rubs his neck then chuckles nervously, " yeah, but i didn’t want to admit it because of our age gap and the fact that you’re so amazing that i honestly felt insecure because i’m just a football player and you’re this whole other person, and right now i am losing all control here because i … i need you " he stated with a hoarse voice.

her eyes widen, " what? "

" i need you " he repeats the exacts same phrase, this time edging closer as his palm flat over her thigh sending shivers down her spine. " please "

she smiles softly, " i thought you’d never ask "

he closed the distance between them, placing a hand over the back of her neck, their lips devouring one another in a searing passionate kiss drawing out a muffled whine from her lips, a minute in he pulls back to whisper through ponderous breaths, " jesus, i’ve wanted to do that since the first time i saw you "

she beams as the atmosphere between became more passionate, she shuffled even closer until she straddles his lap, he placed his hands on her hips, desire flaming dancing within his cerulean irises, she leans in and whispers, " have you ever been controlled? "

he grunts in response, his pants becoming uncomfortably tight. " no, but there’s always room for experiment "

she smiles at his remark, her lips planting feather light kisses across his face down to his neck drawing out the sweetest melodious moans from his lips — " oh fuck " he whines, his eyes fluttering shut as she continued to lower her lips further down the exposed skin of his chest caused his breath to quicken.

" oh my … oh!!! " he whines, his chest rising and falling at a rapid pace. suddenly, without so much as a warning, his cock is freed of the confinement of his briefs, " oh amor … oh fuck me " he moans at the sensation of her lips and tongue wrapping around the entire length of his cock whilst she used her hand to stroke the rest.

his hand lands at the top of her head, his digits threading through her silken locks, " oh my .. you’re so good at that, don’t stop " he whispers, heaving ponderous breaths.

her eyes shot up to relish in the erotic sight of him withering and squirming under her touch, suddenly she decided to push her luck by using her tongue to lick the prominent veins which caused him to thrust his hips forward and whine, " jesus amor "

she proceeded to up the pace, using both her tongue and lips as well as her hand which in turn caused his muscles to tense, his cock twitching inside of her mouth releasing ropes of arousal down her throat, she lapped up every drop then pulled back, " do you feel good? " she whispers pressing tantalizing kisses across the length of his inner thigh.

he chuckles breathlessly, caressing her hair before replying. " i feel amazing, now would you mind coming up here "

she climbed up and was tugged into his lap before he began to press kisses over the top of her chest before nuzzling his face in her neck to catch his breath and that’s when she felt something wet against her neck, his body breaking down in silent sobs, which confused her for a brief moment; just then, she decided to rub his back gently, whispering sweet nothings in his ear, he then lifts his face to reveal his tear stained face, " i love you " he whispers.

she smiled softly then wiped his tears – " i love you too "

perhaps it didn’t hurt to lose control every once and a while.

So How To Get Your Favorite Gymnast to the Olympics... a primer

Now that we have the last of the 2023 Worlds Qualification events over it's time to go through what comes next... how do they get to the Olympics?

2022 Worlds - The top three teams from the team final earned a trip to Paris - USA, GBR, CAN.

2023 Worlds - The next 9 teams in team qualification (excluding the three from 1) go to Paris

2023 Worlds - Teams 13-15 in team qualification earn 1 non-nominative spot at Paris. That is a spot that the federation can assign however they wish and it counts against the 3 maximum that a country can send to the Olympics if they did not qualify a team.

2023 Worlds - 14 gymnasts with the top AA scores not any country that qualified a team in points 1 and 2, 1 per country get a nominative spot to the Olympics. That is it's for them by name and if they end up not going to the Olympics it goes to the next person in line their country can no reassign them. If France qualifies a team (which is likely unless the French federation manages to destroy itself between now and October) then this number goes up to 15 because they get an automatic slot as host country for 1 individual.

2023 Worlds - The highest ranked gymnast from each apparatus final that is not from a country that qualified a team in points 1 or 2, and did not qualify in the AA QF described in point 4 gets a nominative spot. If there are no gymnasts in the final that fit that criteria they go the apparatus qualification list.

2023 Pan American Games/2024 European Championships/2024 Asian Championships/2024 African Championships/2024 Oceania Championships - The top AA gymnast from qualification who is not from a team that qualified in point 1 or 2, and who did not qualify individually at Worlds.

2024 World Cups - Two gymnasts per Apparatus based on points from the 4 events in Feb-April 2024. Each apparatus is 1 per country so one country can not take both uneven bars slots but they could take 1 slot from three different apparatus.

Things to know... the order matters. If you have qualified in one of the earlier numbered steps you don't count in the later ones. So if say Kovacs Zsofia qualifies in the AA and is in the bars final at 2023 Worlds it's the AA slot that she takes not the bars one. If a country qualifies three people through 2023 Worlds then the later qualification steps wont be open to them because they've already gotten their three.

So what does that mean for your favs?

If we project the results from 2022 Worlds and use them as a guide for 2023 Worlds the teams would be USA, CHN, GBR, FRA, CAN, NED, BRA, AUS, ITA, BEL, JPN, GER. That doesn't mean these will be the qualifiers (other than the USA, GBR, and CAN who are already qualified) but they're who you expect to be likely.

The three countries that would have taken the 13-15 slots were KOR, MEX, and HUN. I think those are going to be your likely spoilers.

Now let's move to some darlings from small feds (or former Americans in new hats in some cases). Oksana Chusovitina is currently only qualified to worlds on vault and uneven bars so those are the only events she can participate on. So you say, she's got a good chance of getting the vault spot from worlds.

Well... no I don't think she's the odds on favorite. YEO Seojeong (KOR) would have taken that spot if it was awarded based on last year's worlds. Now KOR is sitting in that spoiler spot as a team so maybe they make the Olympics as a team and then she's off the table. Yeo has also done the AA in the past but she's not Korea's best AAer on paper so I would expect one of her team mates to qualify through the AA.

Chuso's best path to her 9th Olympics is likely the 2024 World Cup series but there are a number of small fed vault specialists who will be very competitive with her and I doubt we'll have any real sense what her chances are until we see who qualifies at Worlds. For instance RASMUSSEN Camille (DEN) could beat Chuso in that series but she could also qualify through the AA at Worlds and be out of that pool. And who knows if the Russians will be battling out in that World Cup pool.

Similarly I think NEMOUR Kaylia (ALG) is the most likely person to take a bars qualification out of Worlds but she also could qualify in the AA and unlike Yeo she doesn't have team mates who may qualify above her. Nemour also has a clear advantage if she's still looking to qualify at the 2024 African Championships. I think that provided she stays healthy she is a safe bet to make it to Paris.

I think floor and beam are pretty up in the air.

So now we get to the messy questions about former Americans now competing for other countries. If you map this qualification process onto 2022 worlds the AA score of the last qualifier for Paris would be 48.866. I expect that to be slightly higher at 2023 Worlds because there were a number of AAers who didn't do the AA at 2022 Worlds who will have incentives to do so here. I expect the cut off to be somewhere between 50-51.

Here are what some other names to note got at their continental championships this year in the AA.

ESCALERA Natalia (MEX) - 53.266. She will likely qualify through the AA at Worlds.

MORENO Alexa (MEX) - 51.600. Moreno has competition for the best potential AA score on the Mexican team (see Escalera) but if the fields repeated themselves at the Pan American Games she would be in the position to be the AA qualifier for the Pan American Union. If she doesn't well she goes into the thunder dome that is the 2024 Apparatus World Cup.

IRFANALUTHFI Rifda (INA) - 51.298. An AA score that I think should be in the right range to qualify, from a small fed with no competing team mates. I think if she repeats her performance from Asian champs at Worlds she has a good shot. Similarly assuming China qualifies a team and Korea qualifies 3 gymnasts through 2023 Worlds (both likely) then she's at the moment the most likely individual qualifier out of the 2024 Asian championships if she doesn't qualify at Worlds. But there is a big if. She got an 9.833 beam score at Worlds last year....

ROOSKRANTZ Caitlin (RSA) - 50.632. She came in second to Nemour at African champs, so assuming that Nemour will likely qualify in some way at Worlds then Roozkrantz has a good shot at qualifying through 2024 African champs if she doesn't do so at Worlds.

FINNEGAN Aleah (PHI) - 50.399. She should qualify at worlds, especially if she manages not to fall twice on bars like she did at Asian champs. I honestly think a lot will depend on what rotation she has to go to bars because I suspect a lot of the issues the Philippines had at Asian champs related to going to bars in the 4th rotation. If she doesn't qualify at Worlds she has a decent shot at the 2024 Asian Champs but I honestly expect her to get this done at Worlds.

BARROS Sydney (PUR) - 50.234. She also falls in the sweet spot of maybe she qualifies at Worlds maybe she just misses. She'll get a second shot at Pan Am Games a month later if she misses out.

ABDELSALAM Jana (EGY) - 49.832. She came in third at African Champs but we start getting in the iffy range for scores to qualify and there are on paper better AAers in her continental union.

DARIES Naveen (RSA) - 49.533. A repeat of what I said about Abdelsalam. She's in the cut off range but she has the disadvantage of being the likely second South African AAer so her best chance is if Nemour and Rooskrantz qualify at Worlds and then she has a good shot to fight out that 2024 African champs slot.

KVAMME Kylee Ann (PHI) - 48.765. She's not qualifying at worlds because even if she falls in the right range (and her score doesn't suggest she will) then Finnegan will 1 per country her out of the pool. She also has no chance of qualifying at 2024 Asian Champs as there are many Asian gymnasts from small feds that are better AAers. Yes she fell on bars but she just does not have the difficulty to be competitive.

BROWN Lynnzee (HAI) - 48.100. I'm going to be honest... she's going to have a tough road. She needs more difficulty to be in contention at Worlds or at the PAG. There are a number of small fed AAers in the Pan American union who scored higher than her at Pan Am Champs.

ELSADEK Sandra (EGY) - 46.699. She has no chance of qualifying for the Olympics. I hope she enjoys her Worlds experience.

MALABUYO Emma Lauren (PHI). She didn't do the AA at Asian champs so can't go to worlds but I've seen people ask about her. Her path to the Olympics is limited. She can win the AA at Asian Champs... but when was the last time she did the AA? She can also get a spot at the 2024 World Cups and I actually think she could increase the difficulty on her floor to be an outside shot there. The problem is ... will the Philippines pay to send her (and the judge) to those world cups. And will she want to miss 6 weeks of the NCAA season to do so?

If I was to take a stab in the dark I suspect that Korea, Hungary, and Mexico will all have 3 gymnasts at the Olympics and that Romania will have at least 2. But in what configurations I don't know.
