“Danielle, would you please put your phone down at the dinner table?”
Dani tries not to roll her eyes and puts her phone back in the pocket of her sweatpants. She feels it vibrate against her thigh, alerting her of a new notification. Hopefully a reply from Fiona. “Sorry, mum.”
Her mother sighs and picks up a piece of potato with her fork. “I wish you’d spend less time on that thing. It’s not good for you.”
Dani doesn’t reply and returns to her food. She can’t wait for dinner to be over so she can skype with Fiona. It’s only been two days since they last saw each other, but she already misses her girlfriend so much.
Not that her mum knows about the girlfriend part of things. She can’t tell her family about any of this.
She has considered telling Adrian, but she’s still scared. It took her forever to come to terms with her own feelings towards Fiona, and now she’s supposed to tell other people about them? Hell, no.
When she and her family are done eating, she helps clean up the plates and then excuses herself to go to her room. Finally.
She plops down on her bed and opens up her laptop. While it boots up, she checks her phone.
Fi ❤️: when will u b done w/ dinner?? i miss uuuuuu :[
At least she’s not the only desperate one. She smiles at the message.
She enters her password and clicks on the Skype icon as soon as her laptop has finished loading. Fiona is already online. As if the older girl was waiting for her, the speaker starts playing the familiar ringtone immediately.
Dani quickly checks her reflection in the mirror next to her bed. Hopefully, Fiona won’t mind that she hasn’t washed her hair today. She combs through it with her fingers to make herself look more presentable. Then, she clicks Accept.
Fiona’s smile lights up the screen. “Hey, pretty girl.”
Dani can tell her cheeks are turning red. “H-hi, Fi.”
“How was dinner? Everything okay with your family?”
“Yeah, you know how it is …” Dani sighs. “My mum just doesn’t get me.”
“I know,” Fiona replies, looking a little sad.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin the mood already.”
“It’s all good, don’t worry about it, babe.”
Her face feels even warmer hearing the pet name. Fiona can turn her into a blushing, stuttering mess with just a couple of words.
“H-how was your day?”
“Oh, nothing special. I filmed a new video, and then I hung out with Martyn for a bit.”
Dani leans forward excitedly. “A new video?”
Fiona laughs. “Of course that’s the only thing you care about.”
“What can I say, I am your biggest fan.”
“And I’m your favourite YouTube star,” Fiona smirks. “How is that video coming along, by the way?”
“I’ll post it soon! I’m almost done editing it.”
“Good job, babe,” Fiona says, and Dani will never get over hearing her call her that, “I can’t wait to watch it.”
“It’s not gonna be anything special, I’m sure your new video is gonna be much better.”
“Every video of yours is special! And this one has me in it, so it’s gonna be extra special.”
Dani smiles. “I guess you’re right about that.”
“I miss you,” Fiona whines, drawing out the last word with a pout.
Dani laughs at the sudden change of topic and the older girl’s cute expression. “I miss you too,” she replies, “so much. How am I supposed to make it through the next two weeks?”
“I don’t know,” Fiona says, still pouting. “I can’t believe we could’ve been kissing for months already and I was just too scared to ask.”
Dani giggles. “We were being really stupid. But to be fair, I never thought someone as cool and funny as you would like me.”
“And I never thought someone as pretty and cute as you would like me.”
Right as Dani is about to reply, her bedroom door opens. “Danielle? I thought you said you’d clean up around here.” Her mother stands in the doorway, looking around the room, disappointment in her eyes.
“Mum! I told you to knock when you wanna come in!”
“And I told you to clean your room,” her mother responds.
“Can’t you see that I’m busy right now?”
“You seem to be very busy indeed,” her mother says sarcastically, pointedly looking at Dani’s laptop. “When your brother and I come back from our trip tomorrow, I don’t want to see any more mess in here.”
She closes the door behind her without another word.
Dani leans back against the headboard with a heavy sigh.
“Everything alright?”
She looks to her laptop where she can see Fiona with a worried look on her face.
“Yeah, yeah, it’s fine … I just wish she would stop treating me like a child. I’m eighteen, for fuck’s sake.”
“I get that, my parents are the same … I guess it’ll always be like that as long as you live at home, right? They just don’t see you as anything other than their kid.”
“Yeah … I wish I could move out.”
“Soon.”
Her phone buzzes, showing an iMessage notification.
Adrian: bye daniii sry didnt wanna bother u while u were on skype
She sends her brother a heart emoji as a reply and puts her phone down next to her again.
“I hope so," she says. "I’ll just visit you as often as I can until then.”
“Please do … man, the next two weeks will feel like torture.”
“I know, right … I miss you,” Dani says again, sounding like a broken record at this point. How can biology explain the physical pain you feel in your chest when all you want to do is be with someone? She feels tears forming in her eyes.
“Oh baby, please don’t cry,” Fiona says, “I wish you were with me right now.”
Baby. Dani looks at the pixelated image of her girlfriend’s face. Fiona’s in her pyjamas already and she looks so cosy and soft. She wants to kiss her so bad.
She wipes at her eyes with her hands and sits up straight with a little sniffle. Trying to sound sexy and confident but probably failing, she says, “W-what would you do if I were with you right now?”
Fiona hums, playing along with the change in Dani’s mood. “You mean, if you were in my bed right now?”
“Yeah.”
“I’d love to kiss you. You look so cute today, I missed your pretty face so much,” Fiona says, shifting on her bed, moving the laptop so the camera is further away from her. Dani can see her hands resting on her stomach.
“I want to kiss you, too,” Dani breathes. She looks at herself in the little rectangle in the corner of the screen and also adjusts her body so it’s in full view, hopefully choosing an attractive angle.
The older girl is looking at her in a way that makes Dani feel hot all over. She suddenly realises she has no idea what she’s doing. Oh, no. Fiona is so much more experienced than her. She’s going to make a fool of herself.
“Would you want to sit in my lap?”
“Y-yeah,” Dani nods, reaching for her phone in a way that she hopes isn’t obvious. Hiding it from Fiona’s view, she opens Google and types in, how to have skype sex .
“If you were here, I’d want to take off your shirt. Can you do that, baby?”
Setting down her phone, Dani lifts up the hem of her jumper with shaky hands and slowly pulls it over her head, throwing it to the ground next to the bed. She’s not wearing anything underneath, but the feeling of Fiona’s eyes on her keeps her warm.
She glances at her phone again, clicking on the first article she sees in the search results.
The five secrets to amazing Skype sex
You’re finally ready to take your long-distance relationship to the next level? Or maybe you’re just out of town for the weekend? Try our top five mind-blowing tips to spice up your sex life via video chat and keep your man wanting more!
Dani cringes. Keep your man wanting more? She’s not sure if this advice is going to be of any use for her.
“You’re so beautiful.”
Fiona’s voice takes her back to reality and her eyes snap back to her laptop. Her girlfriend is looking at her with such open adoration on her face that it’s hard for Dani not to avert her gaze.
“Th-thank you,” Dani stutters. “Can you —”
But Fiona is one step ahead of her, already unbuttoning her pyjama top. “Wish you were here to do this for me.”
“Me too,” Dani says, using her girlfriend’s momentary distraction to scroll further down the article.
1. Clear your schedule
Set a specific date for your sexy times so nothing will disturb you. Don’t try to have an intimate encounter with your partner on Skype while he’s at the office, for example.
Well, no shit. Don’t have e-sex while at work. Dani didn’t think that needed to be said. As for setting a specific date — well, she’s already gotten herself into this situation, so this tip is not helpful at all.
“Babe? What are you doing?”
Dani hurriedly puts the phone down and focuses her attention on her laptop again. Fiona is looking at her, seemingly worried. Her shirt is unbuttoned, exposing her smooth, pale breasts. Dani can’t stop staring.
“Everything okay? Do you want to stop?”
“No, no, I’m good, keep — keep going,” Dani whispers.
“Okay,” Fiona smiles at her.
Dani keeps looking at Fiona’s chest. Her face still feels hot. “Y-you’re so handsome, Fi. I-I wish I could touch you.”
“Where would you touch me?”
Dani opens her mouth and closes it again. Everywhere. But she can’t bring herself to voice her thoughts. She’s too embarrassed to say it.
She looks down at her phone again, where she can see the next paragraphs of the article.
2. Use toys
Toys can be a fun way to improve anyone’s sex life, especially when your man is too far away to give you the real thing. Try using …
She stops reading; this is useless and humiliating. She doesn’t have any sex toys. What is she supposed to do?
“Dani? What’s going on there?”
Her eyes shoot up to look at Fiona again, who definitely looks concerned now.
“Nothing, I —” Dani realises she has tears in her eyes. Fuck . She’s mortified.
“Let’s stop,” Fiona says, covering her chest with her shirt and sitting up straight. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just —” Now, Dani’s started crying for real. God, here she goes, ruining the moment. Fiona will probably break up with her now. Why is she like this?
“Hey, it’s okay,” Fiona says, alarmed. “What happened? Did I go too far?”
“No, it’s all me, I’m sorry, it’s my fault …”
“God, I wish I could hug you right now. You did nothing wrong. Did you get uncomfortable? Did I do something?”
“No! No, I just …”, Dani pulls up her legs to cover her naked torso and hides her face behind her hands. “I just realised I don’t know what I’m doing and you’re, like, experienced, and I’ve never even kissed a girl before you, and I want to do this stuff with you so bad but I don’t know how, and I love you so much and I don’t want to ruin everything, and —”
“Dani, please, it’s okay,” Fiona interrupts calmly, “you didn’t ruin anything. You’re wonderful. And you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. Even if you never wanted to have sex with me, ever, that’d still be fine, and I’d still love you.”
“But I want to have sex with you,” Dani cries, her voice muffled by her hands, too far gone to care about the embarrassment. “I’m just … God, I don’t know how to talk about these things.”
“Would it help if I did the talking?”, Fiona asks.
Dani nods shyly.
“How about you show me your pretty face again?”, the older girl says.
Dani slowly removes her hands from her face and places them on top of her knees.
“Hi,” Fiona does a little wave. She’s so cute.
“Hey.”
“Do you want to get dressed again? Or can I see you?”
Instead of replying, Dani adjusts her position so she is kneeling on the bed, her naked upper body on full display in a way she hopes looks attractive. She tries not to cover herself up, but it’s hard with her girlfriend looking at her so intently.
“You’re so hot,” Fiona sighs. Dani blushes.
“You think so?”, she asks bashfully.
Fiona hums. “Wish I could touch you,” she says, like Dani did earlier. Except she sounds a lot more confident than Dani.
“T-tell me how you — how I should touch myself,” Dani says, closing her eyes. She’s starting to feel hot again.
“Is that okay?”, Fiona asks.
Dani nods.
“Lie down,” Fiona says.
Dani complies, picking up her computer and reclining until her head hits the pillow. She adjusts the angle of the laptop, setting it down next to her so most of her body and her face are still in view of the camera. It's a bit of a balancing act because her bed is just barely big enough for this, but she knows it's worth it when she sees the look on her girlfriend’s face.
“Good girl,” Fiona praises, and Dani has to bite her lip to stifle a moan. Oh, my God. She can already feel her underwear slowly getting soaked. The knowledge that Fiona’s watching her is making her squirm.
"You like it when I call you that?”
“Mhm,” Dani sighs, closing her eyes again.
“Good to know.” She can hear a smile in Fiona’s voice. “Can you take off your joggers?”
Dani slips her fingers under her waistband and slowly pulls down her sweatpants, kicking them off to the side so she’s only in her briefs now.
“Cute,” Fiona comments. Dani whines as she presses her thighs together.
“Open your eyes.”
Dani does as she’s told, looking at her laptop screen. Fiona is looking at her like she wants to eat her.
“Good girl,” Fiona says again, now aware of the effect it has on Dani. One of her hands has slipped inside of her pyjama shorts. The sight makes Dani whimper.
“C-can you take off yours, too?”
“I’m not wearing pants, though,” Fiona says with a cheeky grin.
“O-oh,” Dani stutters. “I, I mean, you don’t —”
“Can I? It’s okay if you’re not cool with that.”
Dani’s face must be bright red. “No, you — you can still take them off. If — if you want, I mean.” Please take them off.
Fiona smiles at her knowingly and sits up, sliding her pyjama pants down her legs. Dani glances up at the ceiling, too shy to look.
“Everything okay there, baby?”
“Y-yes,” she says. Her cheeks feel hot. “Can you — can you keep talking?”
“If you look at me, I will.”
Dani takes a deep breath and looks at her computer. Fiona is touching herself again, but her hand is obstructing Dani’s view.
“I — I wish that was my hand,” Dani tries.
“Hmm, me too,” Fiona says.
“C-Can I touch myself, too?”
“You’re being so good, asking for my permission.”
Dani lets out another whine. She thinks she’s going to go insane.
“Go on then, babe. Go slow.”
Reaching down to her pants with her left hand, Dani can feel a big wet spot at the front. She’s literally already ruined her underwear and nothing’s even really happened yet. Jesus, how will I ever have sex with her in real life?
She moans as she rubs her clit through her panties with two fingers, slowly like Fiona asked.
“You’re doing so well,” Fiona praises, and she sounds a little out of breath. “You can take off your pants, too, if you want.”
Dani is quick to lift her butt and slip out of her briefs, wanting to be good. She tentatively places her fingers back on her clit and looks at her laptop, where Fiona is moving her hand on herself as well, nodding encouragingly.
“Go on, babe.”
Dani starts rubbing her clit in slow circles again, imagining it's Fiona's fingers on her instead. It's obviously not the first time she's pictured Fiona while masturbating, but this is the first time the older girl is actually watching her do it.
"F-feels so good, Fi," she whines. "Can I please —"
"Go faster, yeah," Fiona breathes.
She does, still looking at her screen, watching Fiona pleasure herself to the show Dani’s putting on for her. The look on her face is the hottest thing Dani has ever seen. There's slick sounds coming from her laptop speakers, and it's driving her crazy.
"I'm close, are you?"
"Y-yeah," she moans, moving her fingers faster, and the thought of Fiona getting so riled up from watching her is what nearly sends her over the edge. But she wants to be good. "Can I —"
"Yeah, yeah, baby, come for me —"
She moans so loudly as she reaches her climax that she has to cover her mouth with her right hand, too embarrassed by her own noises.
Fiona goes completely silent as she comes, her scrunched up face and open mouth being the only sign that gives her away.
Dani just lies there for a moment, catching her breath and looking at her girlfriend. I can't believe I just did that. Take that, Cosmopolitan, I don't need you.
The older girl opens her eyes and smiles at her. Dani's never wanted to kiss her more.
"You good, baby?"
"Never better," she says softly.
Dani’s fingers are sticky. She puts them in her mouth without thinking. It tastes slightly sweet. I wonder what Fiona tastes like.
Fiona groans at the sight. “You’re so hot.”
Staring straight into the lens of her laptop camera, Dani sucks on her fingers with more intent. She hopes she looks sexy.
“Oh, my God, Dani,” Fiona laughs breathlessly, “you’re going to kill me.”
Dani sits up with a grin and removes her fingers from her mouth. “Please don’t die, I need you.” It comes out sounding more serious than she originally meant it to.
The older girl’s face softens and she goes quiet for a second. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.” Then, again, “I miss you.”
“I wish we could cuddle right now,” Fiona sighs, putting on her pyjama shorts.
Dani shivers, realising she’s just sitting on her bed completely naked. As she bends down to reach for her jumper on the floor, she can see out of the corner of her eye that Fiona’s looking at her.
“Hey! Stop staring, pervert,” Dani teases.
“I’ll stare at my beautiful girlfriend as much as I want,” Fiona replies smugly. She keeps watching as Dani puts the jumper back on.
Dani’s cheeks are starting to heat up again. “You need to stop saying things like that,” she whines.
“Why would I if it’s true?” Fiona grins at the camera.
Dani smiles and looks down at her hands in her lap. “Thank you,” she says quietly, and she doesn’t mean the compliment.
“What do you mean? You don’t need to thank me for anything,” comes Fiona’s voice from the laptop.
“Did you — was I … was I good?”, Dani asks, still not looking at the screen and picking at her nail beds instead.
“Oh, baby, of course, you were perfect. Can you look at me?”
Dani looks up and sees Fiona, who’s pulled her own laptop closer to her so her face takes up most of Dani’s screen.
“I had so much fun. Did you?”
“Y-yes, of course I did,” Dani says, blushing again. “But I know you’re older and more experienced than me, and I just —”
“Don't even start! I’m really not as experienced as you seem to think. I’m not that much older than you. We can learn together.”
She makes it sound so easy. And maybe it is.
“Okay,” Dani says.
“Okay,” Fiona says, smiling.
Dani puts on her joggers, not even bothering with her soaked underwear. She yawns.
"Do you wanna go to sleep, babygirl?"
That's a new one. It makes Dani feel hot again. But she is pretty tired now.
"Yeah," she sighs. "Will you stay on the call with me?"
"Of course."
Dani gets up to turn off the lights and then lies down again. She covers herself with her blanket, putting the laptop next to her so she can look at Fiona's face.
"Will you go to bed, too?"
"Not yet, I think, but soon. Right now, I just wanna stay with you."
"Mhm, okay," Dani mumbles sleepily.
"Good night, baby. Love you."
"Love you, too, Fi."
