It's starts off heated but I promise it's the worst it gets! Set a few weeks after the end of season one without demon Waverly.

Nicole's hand in her hair, Waverly was so intoxicated with the feel of her lips of hers that she barely knew what she was doing. She just knew that she needed the feel of Nicole's skin on hers as she tore her shirt over her head, and yanked her lips back down.

"Waverly…" Nicole sighed as she explored the smooth skin of her neck. It only made Waverly's hands wander lower, circling the hem of Nicole's pants. "Waverly." Nicole removed her hands from her hair placing them on top of hers.

"Mhhhm?" She was stretching herself taller, her mouth seeking Nicole's again, and her thumb's hook on the belt loops of her jeans.

"Waverly." Nicole pulled away from the kiss. "Waverly stop." She repeated when the girl took a second too long to register what she was saying.

"What's wrong?" She was breathless, still not recovered from the rush of girlfriend's hands. "Perhaps we should move." She took her hand, leading her up the stairs. The living room of the homestead might not be the most romantic place after all...even if Wynonna was gone with Dolls on some overnight stakeout.

The second she had heard Wynonna slam the screen door behind her this morning she hadn't wasted a moment to call Nicole. She wanted to take every advantage of the limited alone time they had.

"No n-n-no." Nicole pulled Waverly back, then dropped her hand like it was a live coal. "I should um go." It was like someone had flipped a switch in her. A second ago they were making out and now…? Waverly watched her as she pulled her shirt back over her head in some manic rush. "I um have to be back at the station."

"You said you shift didn't start until four today?"

"Did I? Must have misspoke." Nicole's words were rushed, nervous. Waverly had never seen her like this. Somehow she didn't think the red on her cheeks was due to the remnants of their kisses either. She glanced at the clock so fast, Waverly knew she couldn't have actually read it. "Yup going to be late. I should go. Bye!"

"Nic! Nicole!" Waverly chased her out of the homestead back to her cruiser, forgetting about her lack of shirt. She only caught up as she was starting the engine, muffled curses coming through the closed window. Waverly tried to yank open the door, but it stuck, sending her flying back onto her bum.

Nicole jumped out of the car to help her up. "Nicole, what's wrong?" Waverly grasped both her her hands holding her still.

Nicole took a deep breath, "Nothing. Nothing's wrong." she slowed her speech trying to get back her normal cool. 'I just have to go to work. I'll talk to you later okay? Now get inside before you catch a cold." She smiled and dropped her hands to get back in the cruiser.

"You know cold temperatures don't actually cause you to get the common cold it actually just-" Waverly cut herself off. "You have an extra uniform in my room if you want to change so that you know…" She gestured to her girlfriend's wild hair and rumpled clothes.

"I'm fine. I'll change in the office. I'll see you." But Nicole didn't meet her eyes as she placed the quickest kiss on her cheek and hopped back into the car.

Waverly watched her move down the driveway faster than they both knew was safe, waving her fingers meekly. "Yeah, see you." She muttered.

Yay! :) Call me when you get off? 3

Sent from Nicole 3:57 pm

Sure.

Nicole didn't call that night. Waverly even left her phone on when she went to bed just in case Nicole got stuck working a double and didn't get off until early in the morning. But no call came then either. She's probably just tired after work. Waverly told herself. Maybe she just forgot.

She tossed and turned the whole night. She didn't know why. It was probably no big deal. Just a little slip up. She read a clock wrong then got tired after her shift. It was an easy enough explanation. Nothing wrong. Nothing at all.

Her lip was sore from biting it when she woke up.

Feel better

Nicole didn't seem sick last night. Everything was going fine until... Waverly shook her head. She didn't know what happened. Until what? Had she done something?

Her leg bounced up and down as she stared at a page in a book she was supposed to be reading for another one of her classes. She wasn't comprehending a word. Had she said something that Nicole might have misunderstood? Was she mad about the hickey she had left by accident the last time?

Waverly jumped when Wynonna barged in through the door. "Wassup Babygirl? What do we have for breakfast, because let me tell you Dolls does not know a thing about how to pack for a slumber party in a parking lot."

"Cereal in the cabinet." Waverly called but she didn't get up from her spot on the couch. Had she forgotten something? Nicole's birthday wasn't for another two months and her cat's just past. An anniversary? No. They had been together for five months and 23 days when she did the math. There was no anniversary there. She had to have done something!

Waverly gave up and slammed her book down on the seat next to her with a grunt.

"Hey." Wynonna plopped down beside her sister, putting her new bowl of cereal down on the coffee table. "What's wrong Babygirl?"

"I don't know!" Waverly shoved her face in her hands.

"If there's nothing wrong then I don't know why you acting like a pmsing revenant."

Waverly sighed, going to bite her nails, a habit she thought she had dropped in middle school. "I think Nicole and I are having problems."

"Really? I thought you said you guys were doing great?" Waverly shrugged. "Okay. I'll be back." Wynonna went to get off the couch and went to grab Peacemaker from where she had hung him on a coat rack.

"No!" Waverly stopped her. "You don't have to do you're big sister threatening thing-"

"It won't be a threat if she hurt you like this!"

"It's not her fault! I-I think I did something."

Wynonna placed Peacemaker back on his hook. "You sure?"

"Yeah. Yeah I just need to go and apologize."

"If you say so." She pulled her sister into a hug and stroked her hair. 'You'll work it out, you two have the worst puppy eyes I have ever seen." Waverly tried to smile at her, but she didn't have it in her. "Look, I'm going to take a nap before Dolls calls me in this afternoon. You should too. You look exhausted."

"Thanks." Waverly rolled her eyes.

"Just doing my job!" Wynonna waved her spoon in the air as she finished her cereal on her way upstairs.
