Entwined tails

Janette gasped and rolled around, opening her eyes as Syri helped calm her down. She was sweating profusely, Syri leaned in and placed her head against her heaving chest as Janette was panting for air. She could hear her heart racing at an irregular beat. Sitting up, she reached out and held Janette in her arms, resting her head against her breasts and holding still. Janette hugged her back, listening to her heart this time before she began to breath. In a minute she found herself begin to calm down, her heart copying the rhythm of Syri's heart. She felt her paw brush her hair gently, her tails wrapped around her in a comforting way as the two women embraced each other in bed.

Syri was the first to speak. "Is this what those nightmares are like?"

Janette quietly nodded.

Syri kissed her head and hugging her with a soft squeeze. "So last night..."

"Yea." Janette nodded before feeling worried. Did she regret it?

"That was fun." She said softly. Her voice was gentle but difficult to decipher in tone, was she upset with her?

"Are you okay?" Janette asked.

Syri smiled back. "I should be asking you. I am okay I think. What does this mean for you? Is this going to happen every day?"

Janette shook her head, her arms wrapped around Syri's waist. "Reta said she could get her friend to help."

"Oh." She paused. "How is it?"

"It stopped growing for now."

"That's good."

Janette sat up, the blankets slipping past her shoulders as she sat naked with her lover in bed. "I know we said to start over as friends."

"I know." Syri began to stretch her arms out before giggling. "But I don't remember friends doing that to each other."

Janette blushed. "Yea, you've gotten really good too. You learn quick."

"I had someone special teach me." Syri smiled back. The two cuddled together in bed, Janette being the big spoon with her arms around Syri's waist.

"So your sister."

"She leaves soon. I'm going to miss her."

"Will she be coming back?"

Syri chuckled. "Yes of course, she won't be gone forever. She's my big sister, she was suppose to be the Head Mother. Now I'll be in charge."

"You'll be great."

"I'll make mistakes."

"You have your mother to help teach you."

"I don't want to disappoint her."

Janette kissed her shoulder. "Your mom is proud of you already, so am I. We'll both be here for you. Can I give you some advice? My first time taking over my family business didn't go well in the first few months. I lost us money and it took a year until I got better."

"How did that not get you down? How did you push through, weren't you scared of making more mistakes?"

Janette hugged her tight. "Mistakes make for good teachers. I'm four years older than you, not too long ago was I your age. You have your mom, your sister, Felix, and your clutter to help you."

"And you?" She asked innocently.

"Me too." She smiled, kissing her with a soft peck on the lips.

"Janette?" She looked in her eyes as she spoke softly with a blush on her face. "I don't want to be friends. I like you more than that. But I don't want to go fast like before, I want this to be different. Can we give this a second try?"

Janette reached for the blankets to cover them both, nodding and placing a hand over her paw. "I'd like that very much. I can organize for a proper date then."

Da-te?" She repeated with an emphasis on the second syllable. "What's that?"

"I'll teach you about it later." Janette giggled, cuddling her cat girl. "Let's just stay like this for now okay?"

"I'd like that." Syri replied, holding her back.
