a chance on happiness | dara ann lynch x billie dean howard x audrey tindall

i wanted to give it a try to do this, so here we go with my take

when Billie and Dara met Audrey, it wasn't because they were in a gala or a tv show awards

they met her at the hospital, when Dara was there for moral support and trying to help her cousin Dahlia in the aftermath of Roanoke, since they both arrived in time to save both Shelby and Audrey

Billie got mesmerized by Audrey, even when she was seeing her in probably her most down time, but didn't really dwelled on her much

Dara, which knew about the hell both Audrey and Shelby put her cousin through with their antics, didn't like her much to begin with

and Audrey, at that time, wasn't even in her right mind to actually pay further attention to who was helping her doing normal stuff while being hospitalised

however, it was the second time they paths crossed that Billie decided to take the free fall

months later from that, Dara and Billie went to visit Dahlia to check on her, since the woman took both Shelby and Audrey in her house to help them out till they were okay enough to start living in their own, and even with Dara being completely furious about how they were treating her cousin and bit weirded out because Shelby and Audrey sometimes look a lot like Nora and Billie physically talking, Billie kinda started to get under Audrey's skin in purpose just to see where things went

Dara and Billie have a pretty open relationship in that sense, since they've been having Nora as a lover of some sorts, and maybe maybe Billie was having mixed feelings since they discovered that the ghost was starting to heal and it seemed their time together had a countdown

One of the nights they stayed at Dahlia's, Billie just exposed her ideas towards that topic to her lover and Dara, ever so down on Earth as she was as much as she loved Billie, couldn't help but feel a strange tingle in her heart and told her that if she wanted to try that she wouldn't follow her this time to team up with anything

So, alone in this one, Billie actually tried to be more flirty towards Audrey, be more vocal about some stuff here and there, and Audrey just fell on it with a bit of open arms for the attention

So so much that once the time at Dahlia's ended and Audrey went back to her house in LA, she invited Billie over to have some drinks and just relax overall...

...and ask her about what Dara's thoughts were about the whole thing

Dara, before that, listened to Billie's tries with Audrey and started to help her a bit and that's what Billie told Audrey along telling her about how is her relationship with Dara so she could actually picture the whole thing better

after that one thing led to another after that and pretty much they had their first encounter

which led to other encounters for the months to follow

aware of this, Dara tried to spend a bit more time with Nora, just to take her mind off the whole Billie and Audrey thing and because she was still bounded to the ghost with her whole heart, and she started to consider about getting in this too

for Dara is more complicated to have a neutral opinion about Audrey, since she has been Dahlia's confident for a very long time and was her family, so it took her a while to decide to take a shot at it not without telling Nora about it

Nora joked by acting a bit offended, but actually gave her (with her more clear mind since the hole in the back of her head was almost closed) the advice to just let herself enjoy her life while she still can, and also to not 'let Billie win at anything because sometimes she was an airheaded arsehole that needed to be put in place'

when Dara got home from being with Nora a few days, however, she found both Billie and Audrey in their apartment just going at it, right in the sofa

which made Audrey feel like she was caught red handed so hard that tried to swat Billie off her

and at the same time made Billie lock in place Audrey and look at Dara right in the eyes, trying to read her partner like she always did

a strange wave of arousal washed all over her when, slowly, Dara left her stuff over the counter and walked towards Billie’s abandoned wine in the coffee table, took it, and sat in the individual couch with her glass in one hand and her cane in the other, just sipping at it

“keep going, honey, who told you to stop?”

let me tell you that Dara being actually bossy for once, ignite something different in Billie, who just did as she was told while being watched by a too surprised Audrey and a too amused Dara

Dara’s hidden powers make it all more exciting and heavy, because they three start to get under the sweet spell of what Dara is feeling at the moment without knowing

usually is Billie the one loving Dara going down on her or Nora, but this time around the fact that the roles are reversed, put Dara in the tracks of what usually her lover feels

and she kinda understand her

that strange first encounter of the three of them ends up with Audrey’s energies completely spent and Billie practically being goo after getting the most ‘being-topped’ experience she ever had while Dara is trying to climb down that cloud-high-level power she doesn’t like much because she prefers to be in the same level as her partners

and Audrey also experience what was Billie talking about when she told her about Dara, that part of Dahlia’s cousin that made her alike apart of the way their dimples showed up and how they seemed to spark joy just by smiling, their smiles always reaching their eyes

how it felt to be taken care of by Dara was

it also made her understand how much Billie loved Dara and made her wonder if she was still on time to take in her arms Dahlia before Shelby could and actually experience that at its fullest

but she decided to stay with them, enjoying the fact that both made room for her and afterwards didn’t ‘restrain’ her in any possible way, just giving her the freedom she yearned for such a long time and helping her with her healing

for months, years, they kept this come and go with ease

it was too obvious that their relationship always moved around Billie, being the one that actually put them three together

they made it work for a long time, till it was also obvious that this had a countdown too as with Nora...but this time, it was a different and a sudden countdown

because when Billie got her shit together after being scared off the Cortez and eloped with Dara, things were fated to change

whoever they managed to keep the good nature of their relationship, still gathering to drink and dinner, go together to visit Shelby and Dahlia from time to time, joking around with things only the three of them understood

and when Audrey finally found her true happiness, both Billie and Dara looked at her with pride from where they stood in the row of seats at her second wedding

(and maybe, just maybe, Dara chided playfully at Billie that too many years ago when she told her about Audrey, she first felt in all her life a soft pang of jealousy)

[raleigh-ocean]

a surprise that comes squared | medium gang

after four years from the aftermath of Roanoke, in which Audrey and Shelby managed to survive, everything started to go to better as the years went by

obviously there were things that put all upside down, mostly because people grow as time pass by and at times some surprises come along the way

by the time the end of the summer of 2020 arrived, a lot of things had happened already

Billie Dean Howard eloped to her long time partner, Dara Ann Lynch, and before that they both kept a relationship with Audrey Tindall that ended after the two of them married but having them three as the closest friends as result; and Dahlia Deen and Shelby Miller started to finally date a year prior, moving together and trying to live their life.

and then Dahlia, one good morning, woke up to a message of one of her favourite cousins, telling her she was back home for a few days and wanted her to meet someone special for her

a cousin that wasn’t Dara, which lived two hours away and Dahlia already knew how very much she loved her wife

but talking about the devil, Dara messaged Dahlia about their cousin that was coming home a second later and then Dahlia, sleepy eyes and all, managed to type an unsure plan 

one that revolved around a little gathering in Dahlia and Shelby’s new home, the latter still very much asleep and very much unaware of what her girlfriend was doing

after two light coffees and a too long phone call with Dara, which Dahlia adored a lot but damn that woman and her planning skills, Dahlia got herself on kitchen duty for the special day and also as hostess and it’s not even nine in the morning and Dahlia is really sure Shelby is gonna freak out

spoiler: Shelby did freak out

spoiler: Billie, in Dara’s side, laughed her ass off when her wife told her Shelby freaked out

but now everything was settled and, with their cousin, Dara and Dahlia started to plan how things would work and who’s gonna pick up their cousin from the airport (that was quickly adverted by said cousin, telling them not to worry about it because she will rent a car) and where they were going to sleep (another don’t worry because their cousin were getting a room in a hotel in Santa Monica but would gladly take the offer to sleep in Dahlia’s apartment the first night which Dara responded she also wanted her to come to her apartment, so their cousin agreed to it too)

spoiler: Billie freaked out to that last one bit, because their apartment was very much tinier than Dahlia and Shelby’s

spoiler: Shelby laughed her ass off because ‘HAHA take that bitch’

and then THEN, in between all the planning and the hows, whens, wheres, Shelby trying to see how they were going to fit 6 people in their tiny living room table, Billie planning how to fucking fit another couple in their FUCKING LIVING ROOM DARA ANN LYNCH WHAT THE FUCK

away of the mayhem

Audrey was living her life, going here and there, resting most of the time, going to therapy when she was appointed, talking with her agent to see if they could try again and find maybe a bigger role? she was even trying to read some theater in case the spark was still there in her heart

and in between her calm daily life, she got a call from one of her favourite persons in the world so far: Dahlia Deen.

“Drey? Ahm...I was calling you because we are having a small dinner party at home because one of my oldest cousins is coming to visit us, Dal and Billie Dean are coming and I know you three are close...and maybe you want to come? I’m going to cook my vegan lasagna and all.”

Dahlia always trying to not push Audrey into anything she didn’t want was one of the sweetest things her best friend did for her

and f u c k that Dahlia’s vegan lasagna was to die for

“Of course sweetheart, tell me more about it.”

when the phone call ends, Audrey has already Billie on speed dial to ask her if they are going together in the same car and other banal stuff as ‘do we have to bring something more?’ or ‘i’m pretty sure Shelby won’t like a bit that, Bills’ or ‘oh god ARE YOU TWO FOR REAL IM CALLIng tOMorroW’ 

for Audrey the days until the dinner passed ever so slow, to be honest, because for some reason she’s excited and at the same time a bit scared

that one last part because her nor Billie nor Dara had told Dahlia about them being a thing till not long ago, long as in until the couple eloped, but they three wanted to tell Dahlia eventually and maybe Billie thought this was a good time? since they were all gonna be together

but mostly she’s excited because she’s gonna see her best friend after months of only messages and the casual video call here and there

(and maybe she has missed Shelby a bit too, a tiny bit, really tiny tiny bit, a bit she wasn’t going to admit ever in her life)

for a second Audrey wondered which cousin was, because she knew for a fact in Dara and Dahlia’s family they were a fkn bazillion (after four years, she got also adopted by their family as if she was one more of them), but she kept that question to herself

the day finally arrived and Billie and Dara went to pick her up in order to start the 2h trip a) she knew they were gonna make it in 1h30 as soon as she was buckled up in the back seat, and b) any worry about the new cousin or what was she gonna eat at Dahlia’s banished in order to pray Dara made them arrive safe 

(Audrey won’t ever admit it but she much preferred Billie being the driver, as much as she recognize the other woman has the skills of a professional)

when Shelby opened the door, she almost fall backwards because Audrey hugged her like ‘god bless we are safe and here’ and then Shelby passed her to Dahlia’s more welcoming arms

after a few minutes they were all settled in the apartment, waiting for the oh so expected cousin and their someone special, Dara telling the rest they were almost there

while at it, Audrey decided to stick with Billie and talk about whatever crossed their minds, wine glasses in hand and Dara’s chatter with Dahlia and Shelby in the background

“Annie didn’t even want to tell me how she looked like” these days is more Annie than Dara for Billie and it’s a really sweet change that makes Audrey feel their love “I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet her in any other family gathering or yes and my mind can’t put a finger which one is”

“I’m sure she’s nice, I mean, everyone in their family is quite nice” is the only thing Audrey can say, pushing her shoulder a bit “but yeah, I wonder how she looks like too”

and they were at it, trying to guess blindly how this person looked like while Dara joined them to talk, when the doorbell finally ringed and all eyes were on that

the first thing they saw was this...giant woman crossing the door with a short haired brunette by her side when Shelby opened the door

and when Audrey’s mind catch up with her eyes, something clicked upon seeing the face of this tall stranger

“Billie Dean Howard, bathroom, parlor, n o w”

was the only thing she was capable of saying before dragging poor confused Billie to the bathroom, Dara laughing openly and Dahlia panicking for a second because what the fu-

however, whatever chaos started in the living room, wasn’t affecting the mood in the bathroom, that was another little chaos of its own

“Pumpkin, I’m pretty sure this is not very polite of us n-”

“Bills, I know her.”

“You know who”

“The tall woman, I know her”

“From a family gathering? I mean she’s the only one I can see being the cousin, the short one didn’t look much alike”

and then is when Billie notice how fucking anxious Audrey is and what the fuck is happening

“No, from when I came to the States” 

let me tell you that made Billie even more confused and made Audrey sit in the nearest place while she took her hands

“what are you even talking about Drey? what’s going on”

“I’m trying to tell you that I FUCKED THAT WOMAn NEARLY 8 yeARS ago BILLIE DEAN HOWARD”

and Audrey’s voice was so tiny and panicked that for a second Billie think she didn’t hear her well but her friend is squeezing her hands to death

“you...did what again?”

“the cousin, Dahlia and Dara’s cousin, bloody hell, is her, I know her” Audrey is stressing herself a lot in barely a few minutes “oh good lord”

and in her nervous state, Audrey didn’t notice how Billie’s own mind has clicked upon that information and she’s trying really hard to come up with something to calm Audrey down but at the same time she wants to laugh

which is what Billie did

and Audrey stared at her in disbelief and at the same time starting to hit her with her hands because ‘it’s not funny, Howard!!!’

until Billie manage to stop and hug Audrey by her shoulders to try and give her some kind of speech to help her calm down

‘it’s okay Drey, don’t fret over this, I mean, it was once and....waIT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT YOU FUCKED WITH FIVE oUT of SIX PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE I CANNoT-oh no pumpkin DON’T CRY NO NO NO NO IT’S OKAY HEAR ME OUT it was just once right? I bet she doesn’t remember okay? Let’s try to keep quiet and if it’s too much we can have a ciggie break outside here and there, alright?’

(Billie is the only one in the world right now that knows every detail (except this one) about Audrey, per example, that she had an affair with Dahlia 5 years ago and, while both Audrey and Shelby were healing in Dahlia’s house after Roanoke, that she and Shelby had angry sex because they couldn’t stand each others guts) 

after a few minutes Billie managed to calm Audrey down enough to get them out of the bathroom, going back to the cheerful chatter in spanish of the three cousins, more like Dara and the cousin while Dahlia was trying to escape the bear hug she was getting from said cousin

and then the rest finally notice they’re back and this tall woman (even taller than both Dara and Dahlia and anyone in that room for a matter of fact) gets a mischievous grin all over her lips and reaching her eyes

“So you are the one that have our Dal wrapped around her fingers, I saw you on television a few times when she told me you invited her to your program,” the woman leans to kiss Billie’s cheeks, making Billie laugh “Danna Bishop, finally a pleasure to meet you.”

Danna is all smiles and pure warmth and then her light brown eyes finally met Audrey...

...and she waits for someone to say something, a glint in her eyes as if she was recognizing her, but Audrey is not really sure because she’s still really anxious and Dahlia is actually the one that says something

“She’s Audrey Tindall, Drey this is our oldest cousin.”

when Danna shakes Audrey’s hand, her free hand enveloping their both, some of the memories together came to her head but also the simplicity of the gesture is capable of bringing her back to Earth

“Danna, a pleasure,” then the short haired brunette comes in view after Billie has greet her and Danna looks at her like she’s the brightest star “This is Ally, my girlfriend.”

and from that? everything seemed to go smoothly

they did manage to fit 7 adults in the tiny living room table, Shelby even decided to sit across her for once while Audrey is in a sandwich between Billie and Dara and Dahlia is one of the heads of the table along Ally in the other, so that makes Danna take the seat by Shelby and almost across Audrey too

they share food (Dahlia’s vegan lasagna, Shelby’s salad and Dara has made salty small pasties and for dessert Ally bought chocolate cake and that’s why they arrived a bit late) and also they share a couple bottles of wine so far (the only one that isn’t drinking at all is Dara, and Shelby after one glass stopped) and soon everything feels homie

and it melts the anxiety in Audrey’s body and she’s enjoying the anecdotes around the table (how Danna and Ally met, Dara’s last craziness in her job (which Audrey didn’t know which was at this point), Billie telling them about this spooky house that was just: spooky in the end, Shelby finally recognizing why Ally felt so familiar and getting everyone :0 when they knew she was a fkn Senator) and she’s mostly okay, because Billie has her arm draped in the back of her chair, telling her she’s there for her at the same time she’s drunkenly teasing and making some heavy remarks and sweet nothings to Dara, using her as a shield from the rest of the table; and Dara’s chair is touching Audrey’s chair so she can be closer

and then, when there’s a moment of drunk silence in the table, Audrey makes eye contact with Danna again and she knows she’s happier and comfier because she got four glasses of wine and

“it’s really good to see you Audrey, eight years passed well for you”

the silence deepens then and Audrey feels like a deer caught in traffic lights

until a wasted Billie starts to laugh her ass off so so hard it confuses everyone in the table more while Audrey’s soul is already leaving her body

because Danna did recognized her but it seemed she felt how nervous and worried the other woman was and decided to play it safe, play it dumb because she remembers how bad Audrey’s nerves are, since they did NOT fuck only once and got involved a bit longer and then Billie wheezes hard

“I WAS TRYING TO FORGET THAT AUDREY TOLD ME IN THE BATHROOM YOU TWO FUCKED AND NOW THIS”

Shelby is trying to fucking drill holes in Audrey’s skull like ‘what the fuck is going on’ and Ally is confused and Dahlia and Dara’s are gaping really hard and Danna is contently indulging in nice memories, hands over her belly

“RAISE YOUR HAND THOSE WHO GOT WITH DREY”

Billie can’t get more annoying because she’d probably pass out and go into coma if she’s keeps drinking

but everyone in the table is way too in shock and the cake, not the one in the middle of the table half eaten but all the secrets, is out when all the table except obviously Audrey AND Ally don’t have the hand up

Dahlia looks at Shelby “SHELBY!?”

and Shelby is coughing hard because she was trying to hide by drinking water but it went down the wrong pipe but she wants to give a immediate response “IT WAS JUST HATE SEX, WE WEREN’T TOGETHER AT THE TIME AND YOU PASSED OUT IN THE COUCH AFTER WORK AND-”

and then the mayhem begins

everyone is talking at the same time, facts being thrown here and there (”POR EL AMOR DE DIOS DAHLIA, WE ARE ADULTS WHAT’S WEIRD ABOUT A THREESOME FROM TIME TO TIME”, “I DON’T KNOW!? MAYBE THAT YOU WERE FUCKING MY BEST FRIEND??? I JUST THOUGHT YOU THREE WERE JUST FRIENDS”, “hate sex, Miller? you truly are that type?”, “Howard, I’m about to fucking punch in the face”) and at some point Dahlia snatched the half bottle of wine from the table and start chug on it until it’s empty, and Ally is looking at the mess like ówò while holding her glass in case someone take it away

Dara is like ‘I think I need more wine’ because the shock is too much

and Danna, who’s now trying to keep quiet so everyone forgets about her, is like “I think Lia drank it all” and Billie is wiping her tears of laughter “now you’re missing out Ally, Drey” and Dara is like “Billie Dean shut up oh fucking lord” and Shelby is just “i’m leaving’ and escape to the bathroom and suddenly yells “WHY IS THIS TOWEL IN THE FLOOR!? HOWARD!?” and Billie is so fkn smug bc she left it there weirdly prompted as a joke

Ally is having the time of her life even while confused tbh, because she’s used to the calmness of her home and her daily life with Oz and since Danna came into her life it’s like a spark of happiness she found herself missing, and well, this is a good craziness and an absolute coincidence

and Dahlia is in hysterics because “when did YOU and her happen” trying to point between Dara and Audrey and Dara is ówò because well what did her expect of her when Billie was getting down on Audrey in that way? and it makes her go like “i’m about to yeet myself out of the window, we’re in a fifth”

but everything starts to get overwhelming for Audrey and the first one to notice is Billie because she’s deadly silent and has a face that tells that it’s not funny at all and she takes her hand to get her to the balcony, trying to not think about the mess in the living room, making Audrey to settle in her lap and sharing a cigarette so Audrey can calm down and feel better, caressing her back with care

Audrey knows Billie is barely holding herself together, but she’s pushing the drunk haze away to make her feel good, and she thanks her for that a lot because it was supposed to be fun and not mayhem she couldn’t handle

and then a soft voice comes from the balcony door and “i’m sorry i made you have a breakdown...I was just...Audrey, I was glad to see you well, because I heard about what happened to you but I didn’t have any way to contact you...and well, didn’t expect you knowing my family, I-well, I’m saying a lot well, but I’m not the one that’s around often...”

Audrey looks up to Danna as if she was the answer of all her problems and yeah, she’s pretty used to Billie or Dahlia being the ones that handle her the best, but getting that softness and real concern from someone is always more overwhelming

“can I do something for you? I don’t think you want vodka, they forgot about the wine, and well Dara and Dahlia seem russians like right now and maybe there isn’t much vodka left”

“can I get a hug?”

Danna just smiles like she’s the sun, “that i can do for sure” and then Audrey is off Billie’s lap and wrapped in a big mama bear hug that leaves her sobbing like a child, her breakdown starting to melt away while a drunk Billie goes inside to check on everything

“i’m happy you found yourself comfortable with these two, and their chosen ones,” Danna doesn’t let go of Audrey, caressing her back with care, and Danna is chuckling because she’s hearing them fist fight drunkenly while Billie and Shelby try to stop them “Life, mhm? who would think we’ll find each other again.”

it’s the most heartwarming thing Audrey felt in a while, being completely honest, so she just gives in and starts to forget what makes her anxious, and then she hears a new voice in the balcony and Ally is there, looking at them with shyness 

“ahm i think we are all going to sleep here,” Danna still doesn’t let go enterely of Audrey, just resting her arm around her shoulders, when Ally catch their attention and she smiles at them “Your cousins are totally hammered and miss Howard ahm i think she just has the bathroom all by herself and Shelby is...I think she’s stress cleaning? I don’t know,” Ally laughs lightly and it only makes Danna to beam up even more, squeezing Audrey by her shoulders. “everything okay here?”

“I think so, sweetheart, just needed some fresh air...oh wait, why don’t we go get some ice cream to the 24h? wine always makes me crave for chocolate ice cream,” then she finally walks towards Ally, kissing her ever so sweetly in the cheek, and turn around to look at Audrey “what do you say? wanna come with us?”

and the invitation is so alluring? stepping out of the apartment and the chaos but then there’s this...something in her chest, that says to her that she better decline the offer to let the couple be by themselves for a while

“I think i’m gonna check on Billie and maybe help Shelby, if she doesn’t end up throwing a plate at me”

“okay, okay, then we’ll bring you some ice cream...strawberry, right?”

Audrey nods (how could she remember that?) and then the couple is off to the store, living her to whatever she has to do and she feels a kind of closure? like, she doesn’t feel bad now that they talked, she feels pretty calm, so she decides to hurry and check on Billie before Shelby forbid them all to ever coming to the house again

and when Ally and Danna are walking without knowing where is the nearest store, but they are walking arm in arm contently and Ally just says “I’m glad I came along, this is the most fun I had in two years” and Danna laughs too openly, warming her heart, and pulls her into a kiss because Ally gets too cute when she’s sincere “well, since i don’t plan to let you go, you better prepare for more fun because I won’t be missing Christmas this year, so what about we three comes to my family gathering?” and then Ally just says ‘okay’ with a tiny excited smile before pulling her into a new kiss that she has to get by tip toeing a bit

after the sweet mess this was, all of them end up getting a group chat and as months pass by none is a stranger anymore

and of course Audrey is invited again in Christmas, because she didn’t get plane tickets in time to go visit her parents and well, she feels welcome in the Danna, Dara and Dahlia’s big family

so now they all are in Dara’s parents home along with the whole family and Ally is having a blast there, because she start to feels like she belongs somewhere and everyone is so cheerful and happy and Oz is playing with nieces and nephews and she doesn’t have to worry because everyone has thousand eyes on them in case the younger ones of the house need something and she can finally breathe in peace

BUT OF COURSE Billie is there and well, Billie and Ally eventually get tipsy and they try to get Shelby to engage in their conversation (which she doesn’t want because she’s pretty much content eating something her father-in-law gave her and ‘please last time you pulled a too big bullshit Howard, I don’t want to get dragged)

spoiler: Shelby got dragged by drunk!BillieAlly into whatever they think was a good idea, which was playing extreme Uno

and Audrey is trying so hard to avoid drunk!Billie, just hanging out by the wine and the spaguettis and watching Shelby get dragged like ‘get rekt is your turn’ until Billie realize that

and soon she’s walking towards her friend, and Audrey gets her glass closer to her chest because she doesn’t want to take part for once of whatever Billie is thinking

“are you trying to get yourself another cousin?” and Billie shots her that teasing grin that makes her so beautiful for some stupid reason but now Audrey was drinking when she said that and now she’s spitting all the wine back to the glass

“BILLIE DEAN HOWARD”

but the argument dies before it starts because suddenly the front door opens and someone is able to talk over all the voices

“sorry we’re so late, our flight got delayed and damned the time I decided to get a taxi.”

and Billie and Audrey are now watching this new tall woman enter the house, a teenager behind her, and they can fucking swear Danna was a second ago goofing around with one of her baby nieces and not in the door?????

“Nani, about fucking time!”

well it was absolutely not Danna, because she passed Billie and Audrey by their left and now is hugging the look alike woman like her life depends on it

“Nana put me fucking down, I’ve been on a plane ten hours and I don’t exactly feel my legs.”

“Oh shut the fuck up and let me hug you,” the hug resumed and now Danna has her arms around the teenager “You rascal, come here!”

everyone is so excited about this ‘Nani’ that suddenly, Shelby and Ally are close to Billie and Audrey, a bit confused because fuck damn it they are seeing doubles??? however Ally is only there as a support because she kinda gets an idea of who she is but she only heard her voice over the phone

and as if their partners heard them, Dahlia, Dara and Danna looked at them all excited and Dahlia is happier than they ever have seen her? which makes her the first one to say something to them

“Come here you four, don’t be shy!” bold thing to say when you’re always the most shy one. “Danielle, Damien, I want you to meet Shelby, she’s my girlfriend.”

“Hey no, I’m the twin, Ally comes first in presentations!” 

Twin

Danna has a twin 

Audrey is froze on the spot and Billie is turning her head to look at her, with all the stars in the universe in her eyes and her mouth agape like ‘i don’t know if karma is pulling your leg or giving you a chance, either way what bliss’

“Billie Dean, N O”

but Billie is already taking her by her wrist

“BILLIE DEAN, Y E S”

(after that Audrey finally meets Danielle, which is the most serious woman she ever met but at the same time has that playfulness that the cousins have in their own weird ways)

(maybe maybe she admits Danielle is quite nice to look at, okay? but Billie is trying too hard and is a bit off putting yet at the same time Audrey wants to give it a chance to the fact that Danna’s twin is trying to be nice with her when the ‘sisters-in-law’ ball try to drag her to play extreme Uno)

(and at the end of the gathering that last the two Christmas days, when everyone is in their homes cozy and warm, there’s a new blip from the group chat)

(a blip that announces that ‘[Danielle has joined the chat]’)

over my skin (where you left your own mark), part 3 | audrey tindall & dara ann lynch

words: 3,739

summary: series of drabbles about how Audrey got to know, one day at a time, little by little, one of the two women she wished to meet in every one of her lives. Part 3: when Audrey made Billie jealous; and also how Audrey started to act more like the advice giver than the receiver.

n/a: I strongly recommend reading ‘troubles of a learning heart’ before this one!

"I still can't wrap my head around how you manage to keep yourself in line," Audrey scratched her eyebrow a bit, looking at Billie in the kitchen from the couch. "It's beyond me, darling."

Billie's laughter sounded all over the apartment, lightening it up from its gloomy aura that autumn day. The medium had picked Audrey up from a meeting with her manager a few hours ago, bringing her over to the apartment just to spend time together since Dara was working a late shift in the shop. Audrey pouted again, resting her arms and chin better in the back of the couch so she could look at what was Billie doing in the kitchen.

Hoarding a plate full of brownies like some kind of gremlin was something very unlike of her, for anyone who knew the medium of the stars in like a street level basis, but she was doing it right now with like zero shame.

"My line of work has both perks and cons, I'm afraid," Audrey rolled her eyes hard upon noticing the tone in which Billie spoke, trying to sound a bit mighty with her mouth full of brownie. She swallowed, humming contently, and then shot Audrey the most perfect smile she could do. "But I think it's probably spinning twice a week what does the actual trick and-"

"Please, don't finish that sentence," warned Audrey, because she was like a million percent sure that Billie was going to say that sex helped her greatly as well. "I think you two have a problem at times."

"Do we now? Thought you enjoyed it as well, pumpkin," Billie laughed once again and Audrey felt herself blush to the root, cheeks and ears ablaze. It only got worse when the medium moaned a little upon munching on another brownie.

"Are they really that good?" Audrey felt necessary to change topic, coughing a bit, and trying to focus in the kettle that was over the stove. "Where did you buy them?"

"Nowhere, that's the best part," hummed Billie, retrieving cups from the cupboard and some milk from the fridge. "Dara bakes at times, she's really good at it, so I'm supplied of these delicious mortal chocolate bombs for a lifetime."

Audrey couldn't help but scratch her ear, feeling a bit out of place suddenly. There were many things about Billie's daily life that she was missing completely at times and those all were related to her actual girlfriend. Of course Audrey knew Dara was there, how not? A constant reminding her that she was actually the added one in the relationship, but hearing about those kind of simple tiny details wasn’t something she still got in her head easily.

It was weird, to be fair, because Dara could be eating her out one night but not get a wind of her in days if it wasn't because Billie mentioned her often...and that was as of now, in which Audrey thought their relationship was improving in someway. It all had going for the better after that morning in Audrey’s apartment, but they still had a long way ahead.

Audrey and Billie had been ‘together’ for a year and half as of now, while with Dara barely joined them half a year ago, so just imagine the whole thing.

"Well let me try them then," Audrey wanted to be courageous, trying something 'new' and having a new opportunity of interacting with Dara. She was pretty sure that complimenting her baking was another step to a good direction. "I don't have such a sweet tooth like you, but I'm willing to have my cheat day earlier if you say that they are so good."

Upon hearing that, Billie stopped her munching to look at Audrey, as if she grew another head all of a sudden, but she did walk towards her with the brownies' plate to let her have as many as she wanted. She wasn’t used to Audrey not being picky with everything she ate, so it was a surprise that she was indulging, a good one to be honest.

Until she heard Audrey’s moan.

It wasn’t something she didn’t heard before, but in that moment it was in a new light. One that made Billie’s stomach swirl and settle in a feeling she despised with her whole being, even if it was just a little.

“Well, so...where did you say Dara had her rings? I think I’ll give a jewelry downtown a call, because wow, if she’s down for it I’m marrying her right away,” Audrey’s laugh was soft after swallowing, trying to look at Billie. “How can she bake like some kind of God?”

From all the things that Audrey could expect, she didn’t expect to see such blank face in Billie. She was about to ask if there was something wrong but the next second Billie was taking the plate from her hands with a scowl on her face.

“Ha, ha, so funny,” Audrey was another million percent sure that Billie was about to pout at any second for some reason. “Find your own baker, miss Tindall.”

It only took Audrey what it took Billie to go back to the kitchen to actually know what was going on. And if she was being honest, it totally weirded her out that she managed to acknowledge that Billie was jealous.

Finishing the treat, Audrey left her friend room to clear her mind, just merely observing her going around the kitchen again to finish from fixing tea time. It also gave the actress time to think of some kind of action plan in case Billie was more annoyed than she thought. 

The next minutes, almost next hour, Audrey didn't add much verbally but left Billie be the one carrying the conversation. Having her talking about everything and nothing made the actress feel more at ease in some way, but still be worried sick because Billie always got like that when there was something else in her mind. Doing things that made her avoid altogether what was bugging her so deeply, a classic at this point that Audrey was getting a bit annoyed by.

She neither stopped Billie or suggested following her when she announced that she was taking a shower, only indulging a bit on the kiss before watching her walk away. Without knowing what else to do, Audrey decided to take the videogame controller from the coffee table and maybe keep playing that game Dara showed her - and in which she got really invested - was a good idea.

Billie looked at herself in the mirror after getting out of the shower, feeling how her stomach churned uncomfortably. 

Audrey didn’t deserve being the receiving end of all her frustrations, that was for sure, but the soft joke had hit her with an unexpected might. 

Three weeks had already passed since their vacations in Sacramento, the topic of everything that happened there not showing up at all nor close to, and Billie saw each day how Dara seemed to get a bit more lost in herself. She always had some magic way to separate every aspect of her life, but many times Billie had had to snap her out of a way too deep rant about work - when Dara herself was the one that always reminding her that work things were left at work after the clock ticked. Or even a few days in which Dara seemed out of touch with what was happening at the moment, making her to drop and hit things out of the blue, or worse: getting herself injured - Billie shivered with how she still had an oil burn she got a few days ago or when she hit herself in the head with the window by accident or all the tiny bruises in her legs from bumping into things.

All of that didn't help at all neither with trying to manage her own past discomfort and try to do something for her.

Billie sighed deeply, getting in her pajamas quickly, to spend some minutes in silence in her bedroom. She looked through her messages, trying to see if she got any important but the only one she got was from her assistant reminding her of something about tomorrow schedule. Tapping in Dara's chat, she looked at the few texts they exchanged that day and wondered how busy her girl was, taking in count she didn't respond to her last one. 

She really should stop from over worrying, Billie thought putting her phone down and rubbing her forehead a bit. Taking a peek to the living room, she saw how Audrey was really focused on the television, game controller tightly held in her hands and maybe a bit of a scowl.

Yeah, Audrey didn’t deserve her being mean for no reason.

If it wasn’t because Billie moved her legs to sit and leave them in her lap, Audrey wouldn’t have noticed her best friend coming back. The game was really fucking addicting, to be fair, and the music catchy which made a perfect combination to not think much.

She didn’t stop playing because Billie didn’t do or say something, so she only smiled at her sideways when the medium started to draw slow patterns in her legs with her thumbs. This was kind of a unexpected calm date, as far as Audrey could discern, but even when she kept playing the game she decided that she wanted Billie to speak her mind once and for all.

“Are you going to tell me whatever is burning your brain or are you going to just sit there brooding while I play?” she asked, thinking a bit the choices the game gave her.

It took Billie the incredible amount of ten minutes to finally answer, but she did it and Audrey felt herself to freeze on the spot.

“Do you think I am enough for Dara?” Audrey blinked, trying to discern if Billie really said that. “Sometimes I feel like I’m failing her, that she can do way more better than..me,” Billie rubbed her eyes a bit. “I don’t know Audrey, it’s weird, I feel bad.”

Pressing pause at the same time Billie sadly chuckled at admitting she was feeling bad because of those questions, Audrey looked at her in another light. It wasn’t that she didn’t notice before how Billie changed the moment she crossed the door of her home, but for someone she always saw so sure of herself...well, this was new and a bit scary.

“What made you think that, sweetheart?” she asked, taking one of Billie’s hands in hers, trying to run her thumb soothingly over her knuckles. 

She wasn’t ready for the flood that was Billie’s thoughts and words for the next twenty or so minutes, that was for sure. Everything that truly happened in their vacation, from when they landed in Sacramento to the moment they woke up that very same day. It made Audrey feel how her heart broke in a few pieces, listening to how unsure Billie was of everything in that moment. 

For a few seconds Audrey didn’t know what to say, how to give advice to Billie, and she wondered if her best friend was going to cry and let all that frustration out.

“You should have seen them Drey, they gravitate around each other and if he wasn’t with Dara’s sister, well,” Billie’s voice broke a bit and Audrey couldn’t help but bring her hand to her lips. That was Billie’s fatal flaw: the overthinking, it made her overlook many other details and go full beeline with everything and forgetting the rest. “So hearing you say that hit me like a fucking truck, you sure will swoop her off her feet and away easily.”

“I think Dara would slap the shit out of me if I ever suggest taking her away from you,” Audrey was really serious about that statement, looking at the controller with that unlike scenario in her head. “Did you hear her arguing with her sisters over the phone? Bloody hell, I bet she’s a feisty one.”

“Oh dear, she totally is,” hearing how Billie laughed for a bit was something good. “You should see them arguing face to face.”

“Next time Dahlia invite me over,” Audrey smiled with that, because after all, Dahlia still was her best friend and she was invited over a few times at some family gatherings. “But going back to the point...when Dara’s mom told you about them, did she tell you who left who?”

By the look in Billie’s eyes, her whole demeanor and obviously how she shook her head, Audrey knew Dara’s mother conveniently left that detail outside of the talk. She felt herself frown a bit and pulled Billie closer, kissing her temple tenderly, lingering softly to convey all that she couldn’t put in words. It was hard to give a good opinion, taking in count she only knew Billie’s side of the story, but she was about to do her best.

“Then you really should ask Dara about it, don’t you think?” Billie groaned at Audrey’s words. “Listen Billie, I know you two from not that long maybe, but I know how deeply you care for Dara and how much she loves you, how much you love her,” Audrey said those last words in a whisper because you should be blind to not see it yet at the same time she knew how much her best friend struggled with that point. “Do I think that sometimes you should be more forward with her, more vocal? Absolutely, but I don’t think you’re failing Dara. How long have you two been together, please do tell me.”

“Seven years.”

“Seven fucking years, you already surpassed anything she could have achieved with that guy and, as much I can see, you two are going forward,” how strange was to give her best friend and also her lover, for the time being, those words but she did it the same because it was what Billie needed to hear...or that she hoped. “Do you think Dara doesn’t know what’s best for her? If she decided you were that, the best for her, then why are you worrying? Wouldn’t she say something the second a doubt came to her head?”

Maybe Audrey shouldn’t have say that so promptly, because it made Billie to finally breakdown, but maybe she did have to say them to prompt that reaction. Let her go of those nasty feelings, she thought, because if Billie started to cry it was because it was needed. Billie wasn’t one to sob loudly - Audrey was that type of crybaby, being honest -, but her tiny whimpers were very heartbreaking. Audrey had to hold her own so Billie could take all the tears for herself.

She usually didn’t like to mingle with Billie and Dara’s relationship, mostly because she was the added one in this, but she had come to clash more with that side of Billie that Dara seemed to take and wrap with millions of bubble paper sheets so she didn’t explode. Maybe that was one of their main problems, as much as Audrey could have seen in the time they three together, but if it worked for them, who was she to snoop around? Only in times like those, which were pretty much rare, was that she suggested something to Billie or asked about.

Audrey thought sometimes Dara needed to be more forward as well with Billie, but this time it was Billie’s to take and do everything.

Letting Billie to cry to her heart content, Audrey tried to come up with something to tell Dara once she saw her girlfriend - again, Audrey refused to address both as anything different in her head, as much as she knew they never formalized their relationship - like that. She shivered a bit with the possibility of the other woman coming right in that moment, but it didn’t happen and for that she was grateful.

It wouldn’t be for another hour that Dara didn’t come home. Billie was fast asleep over Audrey’s chest while she decided to keep playing the game, not knowing what else she could do, when she overheard keys at the front door. The medium woke up in automatic, making Audrey to break her concentration and lose what she was doing, taking in count she was playing with the controller resting in Billie’s back.

“I think I’m sweating in places I’m not sure I should sweat,” Audrey saw Dara not looking at the living room, going for the kitchen immediately and a sleepy Billie trailing behind her like a lost puppy. “I hope you two are hungry, my cousin the super duper ultra chef gave me a recipe for a quiche that’s to die for and I’m going to cook the Hell out of that,” from her position in the couch, Audrey saw how Billie took the groceries bag from Dara’s arms and Dara thanked her a bit out of breath, her smile bright like the sun upon seeing how her partner was wrapping her arms around her middle after that. “How was the nap honey? Bet it was amazing, you can barely keep your eyes open.” 

Audrey smiled to herself when Billie replied to that with a mumble she couldn’t hear, the kiss the blonde gave her girlfriend as sweet and slow that for a moment they both only existed in the tiny kitchen.

If only Billie could see what she could, any doubt in her head would be erased from eternity. Billie said Dara and her ex seemed to gravitate around each other? That’s why she couldn’t see how she gravitated around Dara. How the whole apartment, all this time somewhat gloom even for a mild summer day, seemed to come alive the moment the woman with the cane entered; how Billie herself was more relaxed and the tears were long forgotten the second Dara circled her neck to keep kissing like in those old black and white movies.

How Dara seemed to just have all her focus in Billie because, for her, nothing else mattered.

“I’m starving, Billie only gave me tea for afternoon snack,” chided Audrey, going back to the game to fix the mess Billie left her with.

“Only tea?” it took Dara five minutes to reply, Audrey didn’t have to turn around to see how they were making out. “Bills.”

“She was mean,” Billie mumbled and Audrey overheard the soft smack of a new kiss. “Only tea it was.”

“Is that so, my love?” Audrey wanted to throw Billie a shoe if she didn’t catch the raw emotion behind the pet name. “It’s okay, I’m here to protect you from the big meany, but I need you two on table duty while I get out of this before going all crusader on both dinner and avenging.”

When Dara was out of view, Audrey finally turned around to see Billie. Billie was also looking at her, cheeks a bit blushed but not regretting a single thing. Ah, there she was again, thought Audrey standing up and doing as she was told, since her best friend decided to take out first the ingredients for dinner from the bag. They bumped into each other like kids, bickering a bit just like that, but this time Audrey did not go for a kiss like always.

She felt like today Billie wanted and needed every ounce of affection from the woman that was now walking towards them slowly, pulling up her hair into a ponytail and smiling at her girlfriend with the force of a thousand suns. 

Audrey didn’t add much after getting her task done, only sitting at the counter to watch Dara cook, Billie close to her as well and always touching her in some way. It also seemed that today she was going back home after dinner, she thought when Billie hugged Dara from behind and started kissing the back of her neck with care, tracing with her lips Dara’s tattoo just like that. She shook her head, giving Billie a teasing soft kick in her butt and Dara reminding both she was in front of a hot pan.

They needed each other too bad and Audrey simply didn’t have the heart to not let them.

So the best thing Audrey came up with was to go back to the game, for the third time in the day. She wasn’t of much use in the kitchen, anyway, so waiting in the couch didn’t sound half as bad and, if she was completely honest, she had discovered it was a nice spot for just observing.

A nice spot for watching two of the people she was so strongly attached to, which she loved in a way that not many could understand.

However she didn’t expect to overhear the private conversation the couple had while waiting for the ingredients to fry. It made her try to focus in the television, but it was of no use at this point.

“I’m sorry I’ve been acting weird these days,” the apology coming from Dara’s lips was not what Audrey expected to hear. “I know I’ve been worrying you, it’s just that...my head isn’t in a good place right now.”

“You don’t have to apologize Annie,” Billie sighed and Audrey was pretty sure she was hugging her tightly. “It’s not your fault or something.”

“Still, you don’t deserve be treated like this Bills,” Audrey tried to not be too loud pushing the buttons of the game controller. “I...look, you’re the most important thing I have, and I don’t want you to feel bad or something because I’m an asshole that can’t handle well her head.”

“I won’t let you call yourself an asshole, baby,” yeah, Billie, that’s it and a kiss to make it even more serious! “Not when you also aren’t feeling well...sometimes you don’t know how to handle your head, but maybe I can help with that...if you let me?”

Audrey couldn’t help herself, smiling as big as she could, when Dara seemed to agree partially with Billie’s proposal. It wasn’t what she wanted, but it was a start, and that was very much a big step for them. As if they were keep building that beautiful bridge between them, little by little, and learning from each other at the same time.

It made the quiche taste even better and all.

over my skin (where you left your own mark), part 1 | audrey tindall & dara ann lynch

words: 2,604

warning: a bit nsfw-ish? just in case.

summary: series of drabbles about how Audrey got to know, one day at a time, little by little, one of the two women she wished to meet in every one of her lives. Part 1: when Audrey learnt about Dara's tattoos; why they were such important part of her and also how she felt their bond start to deepen.

n/a: I wanted to dwell in their friendship and part of relationship through little drabbles, taking in count I see Dara and Audrey eventually becoming good friends. They are too cute for my own safety and also for Billie’s, that’s all I’m saying.

"When did you say you got those?" Audrey couldn't help but put her hand in the back of her neck, feeling a bit of shame, while she tried to follow with her eyes the way Dara's breathings made her body move softly.

"Mhm when I was...eighteen or so," Dara looked down where she was pulling the side of her old t-shirt up, showing the whole area of her left ribs. The ink there, four names engraved with heavy gothic letters, was something to be afraid of. "First I got my parents, then I got my abuelita when she passed away and a couple years ago, my thirty or thirty-one birthday, I got my abuelo too. He even came with me to the studio! It was awesome, he stayed with us here and all for a few days."

Audrey couldn't help but hide her wince at the remark of Dara's age, but she was really interested in the story behind the woman's tattooed skin. 

Billie did have a little something in her ankle, done in a drunk night at college, but her...girlfriend - and Audrey refused to address Dara otherwise, because she was Billie's girlfriend - was full of surprises. She had seen from time to time glimpses of her tattooed tanned skin, but many times they saw each other bare there wasn't much light to dwell on contemplate them. Audrey knew for a fact Billie knew each of them by hand, taking in count how skilled she was in tracing them with quick fingers, but she never got to ask or see them all.

It didn't help that she always felt...shy around the younger woman, so it was a blast the only fact that they were doing this at all. Dara didn't look at her weirdly, her brown eyes lightening up by the only mention of the request, and she had asked right away if it was okay to know about Audrey's tattoos too. That was the part that made her feel ashamed, taking in count the first tattoos Dara showed her had such strong meaning, because her tattoos were kinda... meaningless as to speak. 

"You really love your family, don't you darling?" Audrey said seeing how, by the inked names, there were some kind of...triangles? scales? tattooed there. Those were enough to go around her left rib towards her back, and there was a change between black and red here and there.

"My family is the most important thing for me, that's why I have them all close," Dara smiled, tracing with her own fingers those little colored triangles, tickling herself in the process and chuckling. She signaled then the first row, five black scales. "My siblings and I," Dara then moved to another four, another two, and a solitary one. "My cousins," and then signaled to the red scales that conformed the middle gapes in between them. "And my nephews and nieces...I still hope to have a couple more of those, so they have their spots reserved." And then she laughed openly, letting her shirt down to take her lemonade glass from the table.

Kids. Audrey had met them a couple times, taking in count Dahlia also had insisted to bring her over to their childhood home. And it made her feel self conscious all the time, she thought to herself while moving her tea a bit before taking a sip. But now it wasn't time to dwell on that, because she was pretty content by spending some time with Billie's girl.

"And which more do you have?" Audrey asked as soon as she left the teacup over the table and crossed her arms over there too, resting her cheek in her own forearm.

The afternoon was pretty calm, an early spring one, so they were in Billie and Dara's apartment chilling with the kitchen's window open. They never...interacted much if Billie wasn't around, but they had been trying to connect a bit more as of lately because they felt closer after two, almost three, years of being in this relationship they three shared. 

And Audrey felt lucky that Dara didn't rejected her when she suggested to have some gathering only the two of them, taking in count Billie would work till late that day.

"You never saw 'em fully, right," Dara said, lifting her short a bit, to show Audrey the start of the bunch of daffodils she had tattooed in her left thigh. "Each one of them, for every time I lost something close to who I am." and it was a mere whisper coming out from her lips while she traced those flowers that seemed to fade a bit when you looked at them in separate groups. "I got one every now and then, so it's an ongoing project. When I met Billie, I had three...now there are seven."

Those flowers were beautiful on their own, without color, and Audrey couldn't help but trace them with her fingertips lightly and making Dara giggle because she tickled her. The meaning of those resonated with her, almost scaring her because of the weight of Dara’s words. How many things did she lose while being with Billie? Audrey was scared to ask that, so she only focused on describing with her eyes the arc that the flowers made from her hip to almost the inside of her thigh. It also helped her to not focus in the state of Dara’s right thigh, which, almost in the same area in which her tattoo mirrored, had the scars from her car accident three years ago. It wasn’t only the cut from where she had surgery, but also where her skin was scratched from when she rolled in the pavement.

Billie had told her about that and Audrey never saw the medium that...wasted and scared and sad. She had promised her to never tell Dara, so she was never going to ask directly either.

“As much as I love them, I won’t like for you to get more,” Audrey joked and Dara laughed, crossing her legs and leaning back in the chair, taking a drag of her cigarette. Another little detail that Audrey found fun about the couple it was that they both looked flawless smoking, even when they smoke different kinds of cigarettes. “If that means you lose more things about yourself, then Hell to the no.”

“You’re too sweet with me, darling,” it was then when Audrey heard Dara’s true voice, not the a bit-all-mighty one she was used to hear, watching how she stretched her arm and another tattoo peeked from her sleeve, right in her left biceps, to get more lemonade.

“And what about that?” Audrey signaled, her index pocking where the start of the back of a woman started. 

Dara looked down to her arm and then she smiled fondly at that particular tattoo. It was a representation of one card of her deck, the only one she never got in a reading in almost fifteen years that she was doing this. Her grandmother always said she already was the change, that she was everything and nothing at the same time, that Dara proved to be what the rest needed unknowingly. She always felt there, with what her Mamá Alicia said, that it was a really selfish point of view...but one that made sense in a really scary way.

"My...lucky charm, my lucky card," she took advantage to lace her fingers with Audrey's, not seeing how the blonde woman blushed ever so softly with the gesture, and brought their hands towards the skin. The tattoo pictured an almost naked woman clad with a purple cloth and an eagle, a bull, a lion and some kind of human around her. She almost looked like a virgin of some sorts, taking in count various details. "I never got it in my readings to other people or in the few times I got myself a reading"

"You really have to excuse me with this, but I literally have no idea about...reading cards or things like that," Audrey put that face people always had when they learnt what Dara did for a living most of the time. She didn't believe in those kind of things, but she respected it as far as Dara knew, like she did with Billie's line of work as well. 

"It's okay," Dara laughed again, clear, but didn't let go of Audrey's hand and placing their still held hands against her tummy, making the older woman to come near her. "This is the card called 'the World'. My abuelita had a card for every one of her children and well, I got that one for myself."

Audrey hummed in response, pensive, and then her eyes fixed for a few seconds in Dara's stomach. She was sure, ninety nine percent if not hundred percent, there was one more under that shirt. Not only because she caught a glimpse of it when Dara showed her the ones in her ribs, but because Billie's hands were always wandering around that area of her girlfriend's body if they weren't touching her thighs. 

Dara followed Audrey's gaze until it was obvious where she was looking, making her smile softly because she knew the next and last one really important in her body. 

The eye of Horus in the back of her neck was already explained, the one that always gave her protection, and all the tiny meaningless ones - the moon in her left shoulder; the three lines that circled her right forearm near her elbow; the crosses in the inside of her wrists; the little star behind her left ear; and the one she shared with her siblings, four clear dots with a full fifth in the middle, under her left collarbone) were ready to go too along the biggest ones in her body. But that one in particular, the one that defined her breasts from the end of her sternum, was one that always found weird to explain.

Dara had got it before meeting Billie, around the time she still was with her previous partner. She had always loved the idea to get a tattoo there, taking in count how sensitive and erogenous part of her body was, but she also had her doubts about what to get. Until one day she looked up some geometric designs and thought about what made her feel attracted to those hard lines and dots...and then found about what the meaning of lotus was after seeing how many of those forms reminded her of the flower.

The area was basically the very own core of her being, what she truly was and not what the rest made her be or how she was seen by others. Dara knew from where she came from, what was she capable of and, most importantly, why she was still there in this existence in spite of everything that transcended in her life.

Audrey, who didn't know why Dara was so distracted suddenly, didn't move at all in case her companion said something. But what surprised her the most was that Dara's unique reaction was to press their laced hands further to her tummy and slip them under her shirt, going up until Audrey felt how the woman opened their hands so Audrey's was left pressing her stomach.

"I think one day you'll learn about this one," Dara's skin was warm and when Audrey ran her thumb lightly over there, she bit her lower lip and closed her eyes. "Not even Billie knows what it means...so maybe you two find out together." And then she chuckled shyly, letting Audrey touch to her heart content the noticeable ink lines while she lifted her shirt enough for the actress to see the design and some of Dara's stretch marks along the way. "Or I keep it in secret for the rest of my life, who knows."

That last movement was enough to fry Audrey's last bits of sanity and curiosity about Dara's tattoos.

Not only because they were really close, not because Dara's warmth was drawing her in nor because Dara was clearly not wearing bra at all - Audrey found that if she was at home, the younger woman refused to wear it. Now there was something else that was working her up like no tomorrow and she was pretty sure all the touching was the culprit of it.

And, of course, not even Billie coming home in that moment made Audrey to back out of the situation.

Her eyes were firm in holding Dara's gaze, curious and clear yet it was obvious something darker and more intense was building up in her. Audrey pressed softly over the ink, over Dara's stomach, and that made her moan low and soft only for her to hear. 

"Oh, what were you two doing without me?" Billie joked somewhere behind Audrey. "Did I arrived on time?"

"I mean," Dara still held Audrey's gaze while taking a last drag of her cigarette and finally standing up, making the actress' hand to fall from its place in her skin. "I think one of you is totally up for it," she started to say while moving towards the master bedroom slowly, taking in count she wasn't using her cane, until she made a halt and took her shirt off. Showing her bare back to the two blonde women in the room, Dara barely looked at them over her shoulder. "And I'm out of my shirt already...so what do you think honey?"

Audrey, even in her hypnotized haze, knew that Dara had Billie hypnotized as well. She didn't need to see the future or read cards or feelings to notice how Billie was probably already worked up just by the way Dara did that. And Audrey hummed softly when her best friend placed her hand over her nape, caressing the short hair there with her thumb, leaning to place a kiss in her pulse point and another one near her ear to whisper there ever so softly.

"Why don't you two warm yourselves up while I get a shower, pumpkin?"

Billie didn't need to say more, because Audrey only needed that little permission to follow the woman that in that moment was making her lose fucking goddamned mind.

Of course the tattoo lesson was one of the most interesting things they did together, Audrey managed to think upon seeing Dara's almost fully naked figure - except her panties, everything was off - the second she put her foot in the room. But as she managed to get some of the sweetest moans from her lover thanks to that, her lips and tongue kissing and tracing invisible paths in her tanned and inked skin, Audrey thought that it got her closer to the unapproachable figure that Dara had meant for her.

It was a good change, she thought when Dara pinned her down to the bed and kissed her hot skin ever so slow, the shower running already in the background.

Maybe a change that would made them finally close that distance both had since the day they three started all of this, having the blonde in the shower as their only common thing between them.

But for the moment Audrey was pretty much content that Dara was letting her have her way around her body, even when her lips still were forbidden to touch, indulging finally in the knowledge of why Billie loved to kiss her girlfriend's stomach so much.

It truly made her whimper in the cutest way Audrey ever heard in her life...cutest and hottest, to say the least.

over my skin (where you left your own mark), part 2 | audrey tindall & dara ann lynch

words: 3,297

summary: series of drabbles about how Audrey got to know, one day at a time, little by little, one of the two women she wished to meet in every one of her lives. Part 2: when Audrey first kissed Dara; and also dwell a bit in how she felt about being around the other woman.

n/a: I’m proud of this one, I think my point came across well and also let me show more about Dara in a different light. I want to give more info about her through the drabbles so, yay for that! I hope y’all enjoy it!

For Dara, it was weird to sleep somewhere else that wasn’t their bed.

Of course there were some exceptions, like at her parents’ or at Dahlia’s, but in general she felt restless when she wasn’t sleeping somewhere known. Hearing Billie’s deep breaths at an arm of distance, she wondered how did she managed to sleep at all. Both had different sleep habits, that was for clear since the day they went a step further, and after all those years it still amazed Dara how Billie was capable to hang to the second in which she was at peace to go full heavy asleep.

But for her...well, it was difficult to do that. Even harder taking in count she had Audrey’s back pressed against hers. 

They had spent their rare free afternoon the three of them together at Audrey's, watching some films they wanted to from a long time ago and then having late dinner. That had led to them finding their way to Audrey’s bed and eventually...well, eventually to being the three of them squeezed in said bed after having sex. 

It wasn't bad per se more like surprising, because Billie was used to plan most of the time and that felt a bit wild for her. Dara wasn't one to complain, even less when all they did managed to tire her lover out to finally let her have a night of rest. Billie had been running on a few sleepless night as of lately plus some others where she barely got a few hours of restless sleep, so hearing her sleep so soundly calmed part of her worriness. 

Audrey mumbled something in her sleep, moving towards Billie to cuddle there better, and Dara took advantage to move too and take her phone from the nightstand. It was barely five in the morning and the few messages she still had to read were some long ones from her mom, one from her boss at the shop she was working in and a meme from Dahlia...sent not long ago. Sighing as deep as she could, Dara decided to just let the bed for the other two and go to the living room in silence. She knew she wouldn’t go back to sleep, so it was better to let both Audrey and Billie rest.

She picked up Billie’s sweatpants from the bedroom floor, mostly because those were the nearest thing she saw with her broken phone’s light, putting them on before going down. Dara had fallen asleep with only her shirt and her panties, so at least she wanted to be dressed if she was going to wonder around the place.

There was one thing that Dara kinda hated from Audrey’s attic: stairs. The whole place was not only the last floor in the building but had some kind of double height, and her leg didn’t take that kindly. But she knew it was a selfish to make Audrey always come over, so she zipped her mouth about that. When she finally made it, slow without her cane to support herself, a new question arose in her mind.

What was she gonna do until the other two woke up?

Dara chuckled lightly at that, looking around the dark living room before finding the switch to turn at least the kitchen light - since it was an open room. That was another thing that made her feel weird about spending the night somewhere else. Maybe it was how she was raised, but touching things in someone’s else home was something her mother always taught her not to do without permission. Even as an adult, living out of the nest for almost sixteen years already, it stuck with her.

Oh, she for sure could survive three or four hours watching videos on her phone, but she wasn’t that sure if she was going to survive without something in her belly.

What could she do?

Audrey woke up feeling like something was missing. Rubbing the sleep off her eyes, she rolled to her left just to find that there was room enough for her to do so, since the third body in bed wasn’t there to occupy the space. She looked at how Billie was sleeping at her right, her arm under the pillow and almost curled up, and didn’t have the heart to do anything else but brush the lock of hair that was crossing her calm face.

Doing that reminded her that she was actually naked save for her panties and a wave of embarrassment made her decide to get up and retrieve her sweatpants and shirt from the floor. But, using the faint first lights of the day, she couldn't find the lower part anywhere so Audrey just decided to take only her shirt, which was long enough to cover her mid thigh.

Where was Dara? That was the first thing that came to her mind when she saw how Billie rolled in her sleep, taking all the space possible in bed. Pulling back her hair with both hands, she tried to peek at the ensuite bathroom from where she was standing, finding it empty. Maybe she was in the kitchen? A faint sound of a drawer being opened confirmed it and Audrey decided to go find the woman.

Since the tattoo day, Audrey felt a bit more closer to Dara, making her be more open even to little details that before could have slipped about the younger woman. They even messaged a bit more often! That was truly an advance, heck that it was, but she still felt like she had a long way to go. At least she felt less shy around Dara, which was good for a change. But when she finally arrived to the open living room, the view that welcomed her was something else, making Audrey felt her face heat up in a sudden burst of embarrassment.

Dara was standing next to the counter, trying to read some package while she drummed with her fingers the metal of Audrey's teapot. Her back was facing Audrey, so she couldn't see her, but Audrey could perfectly see how her sweatpants hugged Dara's legs and ass nicely tight...until you looked down and saw how they weren't long enough to cover her full height. 

At least now she knew where her clothes were.

"Need any help, darling?" Audrey said softly, not wanting to startle Dara by suddenly showing up.

"Uhm...yeah, I don't know how your stove works," there wasn't surprise in her tone, Audrey wondering how Dara could never be startled, and she gave her a lopsided grin that made her tender dimples to show up. "I was about to just put it all in the microwave and pray for it to come out right," she chuckled lightly, using her free hand to rub the back of her neck. "And then cover my mess and crime against tea brewing before you two woke up."

Audrey couldn't help but giggle, still a bit asleep, before walking towards Dara. She wasn't welcomed with a big kiss like Billie always did, but she got a soft smile and a little squeeze to her hand when she took the tea package from Dara's hand. That was enough for Audrey, feeling a bit more calm just with that gesture while she started to make some tea for both.

"You could have sleep more, you know? It's not even six in the morning," Audrey looked at Dara, who followed her hobbling a bit, with a bit of concern. "Yesterday you looked really tired sweetheart."

"I couldn't, but don't worry much about it," Dara stretched there like a lazy cat, popping her back with a soft sound that made her moan even more softly just with how good that felt - making Audrey blush in the process. "I always had a hard time with sleepovers, so after a nap in my bed I'll be good as new." She said while paying attention at everything Audrey was doing. "Sorry if I woke you up, I didn't want to be a bother."

"Oh shush, you didn’t and you totally aren’t,” she was quick to reassure her, almost too quick, because Audrey didn’t like to hear that coming from the other woman. The only thing Dara kept doing was to make things easier for her. “Are you hungry?”

And there, Audrey didn’t need Dara to say something, because it was written all over her features. It felt warm in her chest seeing how Dara blushed ever so faintly and fidgeted a bit before nodding, as if she was shy of replying and it reminded Audrey of how Dahlia always got all up to not be a bother for anyone. At least Dara’s way of doing that wasn’t as harsh as her cousin’s. 

“Okay, I have...well, I don’t have many things but I have cookies,” Audrey fished the box from one of the cupboards, but there wasn’t something else they could use to do breakfast. She went then to the fridge and, totally, she was out of stock. “And butter, and a pepper, and also...too many yogurt, God, I do have to go get groceri-”

“Butter?” there wasn’t judgement in Dara’s voice, it was indeed a pretty curious tone, and Audrey looked at her blinking a bit fast. “Gimme that, I’ll make you the tastiest thing you ever tried.”

For a second Audrey didn’t think Dara was serious, but after she gave her the butter and a knife, well everything turned a bit homie even. 

Peeking a bit from time to time to see how Dara was spreading butter over the cookies, which gladly were the plain ones, Audrey tried to brew tea only for both since she knew Billie was the coffee drinker per excellence. When she had the teacups ready, Dara handed her one of the threats she prepared with a cute smile on. It was so different to when Billie offered her food, but she took it gladly after giving Dara her tea. Side by side in the counter, they sipped in silence, just enjoying there for a couple minutes until Audrey looked at the...cookie-butter mini sandwich with a bit of concern.

“Honey, this looks like not a good idea.”

“Listen, I survived for a couple of months on these and they are fucking delicious,” Dara took a big bite to hers, big enough to almost eat it in one go and then munched on it. For Audrey she looked younger doing something that simple, making her laugh and bump her shoulder with her arm. Still full mouth, she talked. “There they go, see? It’s not poisonous.” 

“Okay, okay, let’s give it a try,” Audrey was still a bit unsure about it, but she did eat strangest things at home in London, so what could happen? She bit it lightly and Dara raised an eyebrow, chewing on the rest of her cookie, waiting for the response. “...okay...it wouldn’t be something I would on my own volition, but! It is...tasty. Buttery. It makes my teeth feel funny when chewing on it...how on the actual Hell did you survived on these for two months?”

Dara had to use her forearm to muffle the big laugh that Audrey drew out of her, taking afterwards a big gulp from her teacup and making the other woman to chuckle while getting closer to her, pressing her forehead against Dara’s shoulder. That made Dara circle Audrey’s waist with her free arm, cuddling her to her side, and Audrey let herself be pressed against her body in a way that let her be tucked under Dara’s chin. And it’s easy to do that thanks to the height difference, which made it all the best.

“That’s why you didn’t try it with honey, sweet baby Jesus, that makes your teeth rattle like no tomorrow,” Dara caressed Audrey’s hip with her thumb, drawing slow circles there and making her hum in response. Audrey fed her the rest of her cookie sandwich, getting it almost whole in her mouth. When she managed to chew and swallow, Dara only chuckled again. “In desperate times you sometimes have to try the smartest solutions...even when some of them makes you live half a day in a sugar rush or tachycardia.”

“That’s why you don’t drink coffee?” Audrey asked in a whisper, because she had noticed how much Dara despised the hot drink. She didn’t say it out loud but the way she looked at the whole thing gave it to her.

Dara looked a bit down to Audrey, taking in count they were so close, and moved her hand to wrap her better in that one-arm hug she was giving to her, placing her palm in her tummy. She had told Billie why she didn’t drink coffee, expressly since it was a huge part of her lover’s life, but to have someone guess that through her words...well, that was new.

“That’s why I don’t drink coffee,” she nodded a bit and Audrey took advantage of that to move her head slightly and press her forehead a bit against Dara’s cheek, making her leave a kiss there in response. “That’s why I don’t do a lot of things, indeed...”

Audrey managed to look at Dara in the eyes then, seeing how her features were softer and more relaxed but there was something dark showing up in her eyes. Tired even and Audrey saw how her fingers twitched in the grip she had in her teacup, a gesture of someone that’s been smoking for too long and did it unconsciously. She had noticed that she was also letting her hair grow from the eternal short cut under her ears she always sported, something that was rare enough to worry Audrey, making her soft waves turn more into curls that were about to reach her shoulders in a couple months. 

Her eyes went then from Dara’s eyes to her lips, her lower lip a bit wet from the last sip she took, and she wondered if Billie always felt like that. Like she wanted to give in and never let go. 

So she finally did.

The panic of doing such thing hit Audrey right the second her lips weren’t pressed against Dara’s and the other woman knew it. It was all over Audrey’s face and the guilty glint in her eyes was screaming in volumes, but Dara didn’t let go of her grip on her. 

They never had shared a kiss, that was something that fell in Billie’s charge to give both that, and Audrey never felt that she had any right to even touch Dara’s face. If they kissed it was only their bodies and for the younger woman that meant from the base of her neck downwards. And now she broke the silent contract they had with each other, just for something as childish as curiosity, maybe? Or whatever it was.

“Drey,” Dara’s voice was ever so calm and it ran through Audrey like a healing balm for her about to skyrocket anxiety. She heard the soft clink of the porcelain in the counter and then Dara’s free hand was in her cheek, running her thumb over smooth warm skin. “Don’t panic, it’s okay.”

“But w-we… I-I...I-I’m sor-”

Audrey never got to apologize, because she got another kiss that shut her up. A new kiss that wasn’t shy at all, that tasted sweet and was almost velvety even; that made Audrey feel that she deserved it yet didn’t own it; that made her realize that Billie had at home the gentlest lover ever...but also the most ready-to-please lover in existence, pressing first Audrey against the counter and then lifting her up to make her sit there, the kissing game going strong for a few more seconds before Dara opened teasingly all the buttons in Audrey’s shirt and working her up terribly fast.

Billie didn’t know how she managed to make it alive to the living room, too sleepy to function, but what made her raise from bed was the smell of coffee, so she kinda knew she would make it there safely. 

Fully dressed with her clothes from yesterday, taking in count she took her time to do that before falling asleep, it made her chuckle to see Dara sleeping soundly in the couch, clad in Audrey’s sweatpants - which only made Billie to run her hand over the curve of her ass in a loving way along a little pat, like she was used to do, and getting a little sleepy comfortable hum in response. 

“You’re terrible, let her sleep,” Audrey said, drawing Billie’s attention but not getting it fully until she left a kiss in Dara’s crown of the head. “I made you coffee, come get it before it gets too cold.”

“Aye captain,” Billie joked and then noticed how her best friend had clean clothes on and her hair was wet. “Were you two up for too long?”

“Six in the morning, more or so,” Billie grunted at that, catching a glimpse from the current hour - eight twenty, eight twenty-one - in the microwave. “We already had breakfast and all, never thought I would try the average college student breakfast after like twenty years.”

Billie was confused for a second, taking the cup of coffee from Audrey’s hands and then watching how she was putting away the teapot, a box of cookies and the butter. But then she noticed how relaxed Audrey seemed, how there was a massive hickey peeking from the collar of her light dress that she totally didn’t left and also Audrey’s underwear peeking from behind coffee machine.

She almost choked on her coffee just because of the fit of laughter she was trying to hide.

“And was it good? Dara does that from time to time, when she isn’t in the mood of cooking,” oh, Billie lived for the double meaning of everything, taking in count that Dara had made for her the butter cookie sandwiches several times along the years...but also ate her out for breakfast just for the sake of it. Audrey got all pink suddenly and Billie turned around with a smug grin on, watching how Dara moved in her sleep in the couch. 

“It was...interesting, that for sure,” it was accompanied by a soft chuckle and Billie closed her eyes, feeling the light warm in her chest growing with each passing second, feeling content of being there with her people. “What are your plans for the day?”

“Well, since I have a couple of days of rest, I was thinking about taking Dara on a date tonight,” that was something she had in her mind from the moment she knew she would have a rest from filming. “She has to work today, so it will give me time to plan it.”

“Mhm, I see,” Audrey got closer to Billie, who welcomed her in her arms like she did that everyday, and gave her a peck. “Why don’t you try that italian we went once? I’m sure she would love it...it had a nice terrace and all, open air, I think she needs something like that.”

Humming in response, Billie and Audrey let themselves be in the kitchen, not raising much their voices to not bother the sleeping woman in the couch. It was a bit weird that Audrey saw that too, that Dara needed something to take her mind off from whatever she was thinking so hard those days, but she took it gladly because that meant more help to make her girl feel good and content.

And all that peace lasted until Dara’s alarm went off and the three of them started to move in order to make her arrive on time to work.
