Work Text:
Jackie's heart really sucked.
It hurt to say- like genuinely, sometimes - but it was true.
Right when she was born she was diagnosed (cursed) with this weak muscle. Slow and unready- uneven and weak.
It wasn't bad enough that she needed an invasive ass surgery or something as an infant. Really it wasn't the worst.
Until it was.
All her life, she was redirected from physical activities like running—no, Jacqueline, no, how about a walk? Climbing— no, Jacqueline, no, how about playing with dolls? Exciting (read: sexy) movies — Jacqueline what are you doing with that CD, come watch Cinderella with me.
Worse was the sport she fell in love with without evening lifting up a finger- or in this case- a toe.
Soccer — NO, Jacqueline and I will not say this a second time!
A close second was:
Dating— Yes, Jacqueline, that's fine but don't do anything that will make your fragile body give out. Don't do anything till marriage.
Her mom was talking about sex. Ew...
And of course, that was Jackie's current problem.
Stay with her now.
When she was nineteen- the tender, delicate, youthful age of nineteen - she had a heart attack.
A heart attack.
Who has a heart attack at nineteen?
People like Jackie apparently.
She was washing the dishes when things started to feel weird. She didn't feel pain flowing down her arm like the commercials and books warned her about. She just felt... off-kilter.
She blinked it away and went back to scrubbing the dish, after all, Shauna was going to come to visit her soon- in like 5 minutes- and the kitchen was almost clean! And if Jackie was committed to being the 'worst friend upgraded to best friend upgraded to cool-ish girlfriend' then she needed to pull this off. It wasn't the first time Jackie felt she was watching her body in the third person, and it wouldn't be the last.
But it just got worse from there.
The outside perspective suddenly became the world spinning. Jackie had gagged at the sudden vertigo and dropped the plate back into the skin where it smashed into large pieces. She had stumbled away from the sk=nks and had fallen to the island. Her body broke out into a cold sweat. She scrunched her eyes together to avoid another unwanted ride of twirls "Fuck." She gurgled out before spitting onto the wooden floor after a surge of saliva flooded her throat.
Then constricting squeeze right on her chest- oh Jackie would never wish this on anybody.
Her knuckles gripped the edge of the counter so hard her knuckles turned white. The world twirls again even when she keeps her eyes closed. Her eyes began to burn as the tears fell.
This was her end - god and she didn't even get to say 'I love you' in a romantic way to Shauna yet.
With another squeeze right on her heart, instinctively Jackie went to clutch her chest and let her body slide down to the floor.
"FUCK!" she cried again.
Her ears had the audacity to drum her heart's tunes into her head as if they weren't causing the pain in the first place.
She curled into a ball and gradually descended sideways.
Her consciousness was slipping from her- and damn Jackie did want to die at nineteen- who does that?
Her heart seized again.
What type of god does this?
"Jax?"
______
So yeah.
That's how she ended up here.
Jackie squinted at the reflection, locked up in her bathroom while everyone was away. Her torso only consisted of a bra, her eyes locked in on the scar of the device they implemented on her chest. A pacemaker they called it.
Not a cure- but a supporting beam.
Jackie scoffed, cause what the hell is the point then?
It's been 3 months and honestly....
Jackie went to poke it but hesitated, leaving an inch of distance between the lump in her chest and her finger.
Fuck that!
She had to delay going to Rutgers because of this stupid thing.
Fuck.
Her.
Life.
Well-
Jackie quickly knocked on the wood and touched her red bra.
Actually, Don't fuck her life too much.
This was marginally better than a heart attack but it was weird not to be startled by the mass on her chest that wasn't her boobs. Honestly, for the first week, she was frightened to wear a bra because she feared that it would move the damned thing and Jakcie would drop dead right then and there.
Oh, the woes of her mind- so dramatic and dumb!
Hm.
Woes.
What does this dramatic word remind her of...
Jackie perked and her reflection perked back up at her. That's right, Shauna is going to call soon.
God if all it took was a heart attack to get Shauna to call ON TIME then she should've had one a long time ago.
Jackie knocked on the nearest wood- the laminated floor (ew)- and touched her red bra.
She skipped to the cell phone in the kitchen and right at the 9 o'clock dot the cell phone rang. She jumped on top of the kitchen counter and slid to the large technology. Thank god her mom was home.
With a large smile on her face, she pulled the cell phone out, "Jacquline Taylor speaking, how may I help you?" She sang, twirling the cord under her fingers.
"Jax." Shauna deadpanned from the other line.
"Shaun." Jackie hummed with a teasing tone.
"I told you not to call me that."
"Did you?" Jackie raised an eyebrow and scanned her brain, "Don't recall."
"uh-Sure." Shauna snorted. "How are you?"
Jackie hummed, twiddling with a cord.
"Jax.
"Shauna."
'Jacquline Taylor."
"Just fine Shauna." Jackie groaned as she leaned against the cabinets behind her. "I'm as fine as you left me two months and a week ago. I'm as peachy now."
"Really now." Jackie rolled her eyes at the sass. "Because I recall two months and weeks ago you were on a hospital bed-"
"About to be discharged!"
" And two months and two weeks ago you had surgery-"
"That went super well!"
"And three months ago I found you on the floor having a heart attack."
Jackie opened her mouth about to have a rebuttal-
But....
She closed it and looked down at the very spot she was dying in. She sighed. "I'm sorry you had to see that." She murmured rubbing her temple. It still bugged her that Hsauna had to be the one to find her. She never wished that on anyone. Her little episodes beforehand- she tried her hardest to ride out alone (dumb as that was), so that was a great vulnerability show for everyone involved.
Shauna cleared her throat. Pulling Jackie off and drifting off. "I'm not sorry though." Jackie blinked.
"Not like I wanted you to have a heart attack, but I'm glad I found you when I did because any later...well, your ghost would see me on national news going bat shit crazy."
"Battier that Batman?"
"Never say that again."
"Sorry."
She found herself leaning against the large phone as her finger traced the boxes.
"No it's fine- just, I called to tell you I'm visiting in a few days."
Jackie almost threw the phone across the room. "REALLY?!"
"Ah- Jesus,"
"YOUR JEWISH!" Jackie squealed and leaped off her counter to start jumping on her toes. Her heart started racing, always so excited for Shauna to visit.
"Not the point here! Stop yelling!"
" Ooh, but I can't Shauna, I haven't seen you in months!" Jackie jumped and with it did a twirl, tangling herself with the kinky coil of the phone.
Shauna hummed, her voice annoyed but underneath was a layer of fondness. "Jackie, are you entangling yourself with the phone again?"
Jackie paused and looked down.
"Ah."
She began to twirl to unravel herself.
"Oh, c'mon Jackie follow that doctor's advice! Careful around phones."
She pouted even though Shauna couldn't see her, "Yes ma'am, whatever you want." She drawled teasingly but pointedly took a step back from the chunk of the device
Shauna stayed silent so she took that as a cue to keep talking. "That would've been bad." Jackie winced and took another step back. "Especially since I'm basically topless right now, just my bra."
Shauna was still silent.
"Plus I guess it'd be perfect since my parents are away." Jackie rubbed around the scar and lump on her chest. "You're right, I should be more careful, youch."
Shauna coughed.
______
Beaches played on the TV. Jackie kept her eyes on the screen- like always. Her lips mouthed the lines she had memorized. Even with her face to the screen her arms and hands tend to wander.
Jackie played with the hem of Shauna's fannel, a habit that she'd done with her own shirt since birth, that spread to Shauna the minute the girl tied her shoes for her in third grade. Yeah, Jackie couldn't tie her shoes until the fourth okay, poor coordination or whatever.
(Learning makeup was a nightmare.)
She was essentially trying to fuse her body into Shauna with the way she was pressing into her- she couldn't help it, she had missed her. She still tried her best not to press her chest onto anything- the paranoia of shifting something not to be shifted was too much. Jackie nuzzled her cheek into Shauna's shoulder and tried unsubtly to teeth on the collar of her flannel. Still, her eyes never leave the movie because if there was one thing Jackie was- it was committed to this film.
Shauna cleared her throat. Jackie glanced up at her, or her jaw at least, and internally mulled over the possibilities of that action. Shauna had spoken three sentences since arriving. Jackie hadn't noticed the first time things began to spiral and she was not about to start again now.
Hm.
What did Jackie forget to do?
Welcome, hug? Check. Welcome, kiss? Check. Cuddles? Check? Questions about Shauna's life?
Oh!
Oh shit.
Jackie slithered a finger upwards to poke at Shauna's cheek, the other to the small bucket of popcorn between them. She was alright with popcorn (leaning towards hate with those kernels) but Shauna loved the things Shauna turned her neck to look downwards at Jackie. Her ear warmed at the gaze, but still, Jackie prevailed. Not like Shauna was watching the movie anyway after the 92nd time.
"So how's Brown?" She mulled as she slipped the buttery goodness into her mouth to dissolve.
Shauna stared at her while Jackie played with the snack in her mouth.
And she stared some more when Jackie swallowed.
"Uh- Shipman?"
"Do you want to have sex?"
Jackie's heart almost collapsed.
____
She practically flung herself to the floor. " What???? " she shrieked, the pitch so high only dogs could hear it. Her hand was on her chest, trying to steady her heart. Shauna hugged the popcorn as it almost spilled across the floor. She cleared her throat and put the bucket aside before entangling her fingers in a professional manner.
"I'm saying-"
Jackie jutted a finger out, "You're saying a lot of things right now.!"
"Jackie." Sahuan pinned her down with only a stare, and she just had to shut up. "What I'm saying is, do you want to have sex?" Shauna looked away, her eyes flashing red. "I've been...thinking about it, for a while to be honest. And I've been tentative not to set you off in a way- in a bad way- but now that you have that device in you I figured..."
Jackie bit her upper lip and prayed to the gods above.
Be still beating heart please be still!
Wait.
Jackie took a quick interval to knock on wood and touch her red socks.
Calm down beating heart calm down!
Shauna peeked from over her shoulder, her brown doe eyes gleaming shyly in a way Jackie was unprepared to resist. She looked at her socks. "So what's your answer...?"
Her answer?
Jackie scoffed and lifted herself from becoming an unpacked sweep for the floor. She dusted the the dirt from her buns and kept her eyes on her red socks, hesitant to meet Shauna; 's expectant gaze.
This is what she was worried about.
"Do I want to? That's a no-brainer but it's not about that Shipman, it's about the 'can'. Can I have sex?" Jackie rolled her eyes and let herself fall limply back on the couch, unaware of the way the popcorn bounced and made a mess on the floor. "The answer is probably no. This thing!" Jackie pointed her thumb to the left side of her chest while her eyes locked on the movie. "Is a curse, I tell ya! I don't know if the peacemaker-"
"Pacemaker. And your heart isn't a curse"
"-is going to solve the question for you Shipman."
The room fell silent. Shauna's gaze burned at the side of Jackie's head but she stared at the movie.
She jolted when a hand slithered its way to her jaw, cupping her cheeks delicately. "Well..." her head was moved in a way where she was forced to face Shauna, a plump lip dragged across her jaw. Jackie tried very hard to stare at the wall and think of nasty things to slow the way her muscles leaped with gladness.
Her vision was obstructed by brown hair.
Pink lips dragged to her lips and dragged her into an open mouth kiss.
When Shauna decided to release her, Jackie thinking about Jeff's balls couldn't stop her rising feelings. She glanced down at pink lips that were coated with saliva. Nature's lipgloss.
"Do you want to try? Please?"
She'd never heard Shauna purr like that.
She's being tested very harshly today.
______
The door busts open. Jackie heard it slam onto the wall, loud enough for her to wince. Shauna guided them through her bedroom and when the time came flipped their positions so Jackie's knees were the ones to hit the bed.
"Agh!" She shrieked as she fell, not expecting the twist.
She bounced off the bed and pushed herself backward to give her legs some breathing room. When she looked back up, she felt her face flush red as Shauna shed the flannel. The next thing to follow was the black tee that she hurled haphazardly behind her.
"Let's take things slow," Shauna murmured as she began to lower herself down.
This was slow?!
Jackie internally screamed when the other straddled her. As Shauna crawled closer, Jackie wondered if she could go back to being celibate because this was too much. She could feel the blood rushing to her head. Pacemaker do your job and make sure she doesn't die!
Jackie had no idea what she was doing. Her heart has always forced her to compromise, she could never do anything too exciting, and usually, she'd be the one giving- as in giving Jeff blow jobs and handjobs. She never did anything with Shauna outside- damn not even second base... It's been what, six months? (and three weeks and five days!)
Damn.
She should tell Shauna that if they were to do this, it would be safer for her to be leading.
Logically...
Irreversibly...
Smartly...
She glanced at the swell of Shauna's boobs contained in her bra.
fuck it.
She relieved herself from her elbows and fell all the way back on the bed. "Do whatever you will, Shipman." she crossed her arms like she was preparing for a funeral.
Shipman finally finished her catwalk and was fully over Jackie, her hair fell like a brown curtain. She lifted an eyebrow. "Really?"
Jackie had to close her eyes and shield her face with her hands, lest she die of a head explosion from too much blushing.
"I am at your mercy. You're the one with the brains, I'm just here for the ride."
There was a lull.
She felt Shauna shrug, "Alright."
Shauna squeezed past her arms to attack the side of her jaw, kissing with light pecks that transformed into open-mouth kisses. A tongue set itself onto tan skin and dragged its way to her ear, where she was bitten softly.
Jackie peered from her finger to glare at a mass of hair, "I thought you said slow?!"
Shauna moved from her ear to follow a path of kisses to her collarbone. She hardly even glanced at Jackie."This is slow. Maybe if you open your eyes the sensory wouldn't be so much." She plunged her sharp teeth into Jackie's skin, Jackie couldn't help but arch into the touch.
She swallowed a moan and moved her hands to clutch the sheets, she subtly closed her legs to alleviate some of the growing pressure in her loins. "But if I do that I feel like my heart would explode right now."
Immediately the feeling of Shauna; 's wet mouth disappeared from her skin, leaving the saliva to cool in the air. Jackie blinked at the sudden change and opened her eyes to look down at Shauna. Gone was the cool, if not seductive face, but instead was immediate concern. Calloused fingers, from hours of holding a pencil, reached to gently stroke Jackie's jaw.
"Really?"
The worry and guilt in Shauna's eyes tugged on her heartstrings, she looked away.
Jackie's hand flew to clutch Shauna's and she gave it a squeeze. "No- no- that was a bad- no sorry, keep going, but please, slow down." As if to ease the tension in the air, she let her other hand let go of the sheets and went to twirl blonde hair around the finger, and like the school girls in movies, she gave Shauna a stupidly shy glance.
"I'm a virgin." She whispered with her voice drowned in the feminine vulnerability.
"Ugh!" Shauna cringed as she seized back her hands to push Jackie further into the mattress. With a bounce, Jakcie let out a hysteric laugh at seeing the contours of Shauna's face as she winced in cringe. "That was good, that one was really good!" She cackled and wiped a tear from her eyes.
Shauna shook her head, dusting her hands in the air as if to wipe away the disgust. "I have no idea why the hell I date you."
Jackie let out a satisfied sigh and gave Shauna a small smile from the corner of her eye. "me too."
Shauna gave a small smile back before her expression turned serious- serious . "But still, please tell me if you feel..."
Inwardly, Jackie rolled her eyes as she reached from those hands and put it back on her, just over the shirt.
"Of course, I'm not planning on having heart failure because I want- you know-"
The tension seemed to leave Shauna as she rolled her eyes and lowered her head back to make hickeys onto Jacki; 's collarbone. "I got it, Jackie. You can say orgasm you know..."
Jackie hummed in response as Shauna's hands slid under her shirt and rubbed against her stomach. It was nice, but any higher and Jackie would pass out from either pure horniness or embarrassment. She wasn't comfortable any higher. " Yeah- yeah, whatever, just one thing- don't stop imbecile- just stay away from my chest- okay? The shirt covers my chest."
She ignored Shauna's curious gaze and looked at a Babrie poster- hell even Barbie couldn't save her from the future conversation this request would entail.
But for now... "okay." Shauna complied simply, but her eyes never left Jackie's.
The lump of her pacemaker became the forefront of her mind and she pushed down on Shauna's shoulders. "Get back to work- no slackalackin" She sang and ignored the fond look Shauna sent her way as her cheeks flushed.
But like always, Shauna complied with Jackie's requests and went back to work. Jackie's large home shirt was pushed upwards, stopping at her middle chest so Shauna could suck on the delicate skin.
Damn. A low moan escaped her throat before she could catch it. Jacie felt her face burn in embarrassment but the look Shauna gave her as she looked up from her long lashes made her burn brighter.
"Don't try to stop, that was sexy." She punctuated it with a kiss to the Jacki'e v-line. Her heart fluttered- almost painfully. "Jesus Christ," Jackie looked up indignantly and tried to steady her breath with practiced breathing motions. She blew out air whilst sweat began to form at her temple, she could feel the blotchiness of red on her her upper chest to her face.
Damn it when did Shauna turn to a sex god behind Jackie's back?
Jackie must look like a loser right now, ugh so embarrassing.
However, like always, Shauna was there to make Jacie trip up because the other girl lifted herself up solely to set herself down again on Jackie's crotch to show her hands.
"So what would you prefer, hands or mouth."
Slow her ass.
Jackie tilted her head back just to avoid the smoky look Shauna; 's eyes were giving her, she threw a hand over her face in an attempt to cover her shyness. "ohmygod- Whatever you want Shauna like I said you got free reigns."
She heard the girl immediately hum. Jackie coughed when Shauna (maybe accidentally, but probably not) ground her hips forward and into Jackie's stomach, which she instinctively tightened from surprise. "Fingers it is I guess," Shauna said with an exhale of air.
Jackie moved her arm away from her face to push back against her sweaty hair, she glared up at Shauna's side profile "You're teasing me." She accused.
Shauna glanced at her from the corner of her eyes"You're just now noticing?" She says casually, lifting herself just a little bit to grab onto Jackie's reindeer pajamas and push them down to the middle of her thighs after Jackie momentarily surrendered and lifted her hips, leaving her white panties for show.
Shauna looked back at her with a smug smirk after seeing the stain at the front, Jackie grunted in embarrassment and huffed at the ceiling.
Again her heart flipped and Jackie practiced controlled breathing to slow it down.
What a wicked thing Shauna was, Jackie stood no chance.
"I'll go slow," Shauna said as she twisted her torso and her hands slipped under the panties.
Jackie's hands went to bundle the sheets as a slim finger slid through wet folds. She could feel a watchful gaze drilling her further into the sheets This pattern continued for a minute until Jackie felt like she was going to implode.
"Shauna," Jackie grunted.
"Yes?" Said girl hummed, her pointer finger circling around the sensitive bundle of nerves where Jackie needed her the most.
Jackie swallowed "C'mon, don't leave a girl hanging." She tried to negotiate, and after a pause, she added, "Please."
Shauna hummed, and her pointed finger grazed over the nerves that had Jackie jolted in place. "I don't know..."
"C'mon, Shippy? Please? Please ? You're killing me right now."
The thick legs that encased Jackie's hips squeezed on her torso.
"I will...if you look at me," Jackie whined, that was close to impossible. Just the shine of Shauna's beauty and sexiness would burn Jackie's mortal eyes.
But...
Jackei's eyes landed on the swell of Shauna's breast that protruded out of the bra.
Not the most challenging thing in the world.
Shauna snorted, "Man, who knew you were such a perv." But a deal was a deal, Shauna applied more pressure and finally - finally put her finger where it needed to be.
Jackie moaned lowly as Shauna began circling- not around but directly. She instantly closed her legs around the hand. Shauna tutted and slapped her hand on the thigh. Jackie yelped and opened her legs wider.
"Thanks, better angle." Shauna straightened her body but kept her finger working behind her. The pointed finger moved below for the opening, and slowly began to dip inside. Please, god, have mercy.
'Jesus Shauna that..." Jackie panted, Jackie could feel her lustful gaze. She must; have looked wrecked, clothes bundled together but not off, rede upper body, heaving chest, sweaty, and topped with messy hair.
"Feels good?" Shauna finished for her and Jackie groaned in both pleasure and annoyance.
Jackie squirmed as the pace picked up. Shauna's hand must've hurt at this angle, her mind helpfully supplies. " Shush, your head is massive."
Shauna giggled and leaned forward. Her face was a sacrifice for the decrease in pressure and stability of those diligent hands. "Who wouldn't be in my position." She emphasized with a kiss that Jackei melted into. She released her hands from the sheets to cup Shauna's face.
Her rhythm skipped and Jackie has never felt more in love. Forget shame, and forget her vulnerabilities.
Shauna leaned away and the kiss ended with a pop. "Shauna," Jackie murmured
Shauna looked down at her lips and hummed in response. Jackie's hands slid from her face to her shoulders, and she pushed her down for the final time. "More."
Jackie burned the brightest tonight as HSuana bit her lip flirtatiously and nodded in compliance, "Anything." She had responded and un-straddled Jackie's hips to slide down (in consequence having to remove her fingers- ugh). Kissing down her exposed skin as she went, until her knees met Jackie's bedroom floor. Jackie bit her lip as she watched, through her nose she did the processed breathing motion to calm her heart. It proved futile once Shauna got to her pants and like the devil, looked up and slid Jackie's undies down.
Slowly and deliberately.
"Jesus Christ," She grunted as Shauna put her finger where they rightfully belonged and slid inside. This time, with two.
Slowly, and deliberately the finger melted into her until they reached Shauna's knuckles.
She pushed her hips down to the knuckles, morning when they ground on her clit. "Shipman." It was supposed to be a demand but came out as a whine.
"Hey, you said slow and steady." Despite the sass, the finger began moving. They explored, never being inside a woman other than Shauna herself.
Jackie bit her cheek. Shauna touching herself? Man that was a thought.
But then Shauna angled her finger a very specific way and Jackie couldn't think anymore. She arched her back and let out a loud moan. She immediately cupped her hand over her mouth.
"Gotcha." She saw Shauna smirk and the rest of history.
Once Shauna found what worked, she never relented, hitting the same spot over and over until Jackie was red in the face panting. She closed her eyes once the noise of her arousal got too raunchy for her ears. One of her senses had to go. "She reached for Shauna's wrist, "Harder, Shauna, harder."
Shauna listened like always. The sensation became so overwhelming her eyes pricked in tears, and one hand went to clutch her shirt.
She didn't think how the action could've looked like she was in pain. the finger slowed and her eyes flew open to see Shauna give her a fearful eye, "You okay?' Her girlfriend asked.
Jackie couldn't help but laugh. Okay? She's never felt more free! She was just at the edge of the cliff, ready to spread her wings for the first time. Her legs spread to clutchShauna'sa back and push her warm body closer, "I've never been better Don't stop now, please never stop. "
Shauna groaned from the floor, and her eyes fell down lidded, "Okay." She answered and went back to work. The thrusts hit harder, better, and Jackie would be called a whore with the way she arched her back and moaned loudly, unabashed.
She dug the heels of her foot into Shaua's back and became distantly aware that she never took her socks off. Her pace makes- not like she really knew how it worked- must've been working overtime to keep her afloat.
This was so hot, Jackie could do this for the rest of her life. She doesn't know how she went nineteen years without it.
She was just there, one foot off the ledge, ready to soar into oblivion.
Shauna kissed her thighs, quickly introducing teeth that had Jackie's mind reeling. Blood was rushing in her ear and if this was what it felt like to fly, Jackie would never come down. She was almost there, just one more push.
"I love you..." She could her whisper in the wind, and whether her mind made it up or not, didn't matter.
A thumb slithered to her clit and rubbed clumsy, just enough to have Jackie s vion painted white and the tightly wound tension released from her body in a euphoric wave of relief.
But as nature expects, all good things must come down.
She collapsed back on the bed in a starfish position, breathing heavily, incapable of being helped by those pesky breathing exercises. She was sweating heavily, and even though she hardly lifted a finger, her clothing didn't help. She clumsily pushed her shirt down and tried to regain her breath. Shauna pushed back up her pants and her panties, which she gave a mental thanks to before going back to focus on not dying.
"Was it good?"
Oh, brother, "Don't ask stupid things smarty pants." Jackie groaned.
She wasn't used to activities like this so the minute the euphoria left, she was left with mind-numbing tiredness that was quick to put her into a drowsy state.
She hadn't noticed her eyes closing but she felt Shauna's body climbing back over her (!) and leaning down. Hair tickled over her face and Jackie weakly swiped away the hair with a giggle. A hot breath came over her ear.
"You lasted five minutes."
Fuck bone-deep tiredness. Jackie's eyes snapped wide open to give Shauna a dirty look. "Uh- heart condition here you dingus." She said as she jabbed a finger into Shauna's sides.
Shauna squealed away, "I'm not trying to insult you- I'm just saying that we could build your endurance up with some practice is all."
Jackie crossed her arms and huffed, glaring at Shauna despite her eyelids fighting to stay down. "Screw you Ship-" her eyes caught the look Shauna was giving her.
Oh.
Jackie blushed.
Shauna rolled her eyes at her gobsmacked expression, "That's the point, dummy." But in apology, she leaned down and fell next to Jackie to play with some wavy blonde hair. Shauna's knees slid in between Jackie's and her free arm wrapped around her waist. Jackie felt the comforting pull as Shauna tugged gently on the strands, almost passing out right then and there. Her eyes closed and she was almost pulled into sweet oblivion.
Until-
"One of these days- sooner rather than after preferably- I'm going to have you return the favor."
Jackie's heart rate spiked and well-
With a wicked thing like Shauna lying around maybe the pacemaker wasn't so bad.
