Just Waking Up

My eyes shot open and I bolted upright as I gasped for air. I took a few deep breaths as I assessed my surroundings. I was back in my bedroom, sunlight peering in through my blinds. The Reality Ring was still on my finger, its gentle warmth reminding me it was there and working. I was still nude, and I wasn’t the only one.

To my left was Danna, sound asleep and curled up around my left hand. Her soft cheeks felt nice and warm against my skin. To my right was no one, not Vanessa nor Regina. Summer also was absent from the bed. Turning over to my clock, I saw that it was 8:15 AM.

“Right, Vanessa has a class, so that’s why she’s gone,” I said quietly, trying not to wake Danna. “Summer wouldn’t have gone too far from Danna, probably.” I took a look down at the sleeping mute. “Then again, she was asleep. Maybe she’s off running an errand.” I smiled at just how adorable Danna looked. “Now, where’s Regina?”

I gently pried myself from Danna’s grip and snuck out of the bed. Danna still, thankfully, slept soundly. I threw on a bra and a pair of panties, topped off with a robe. I didn’t have anywhere I needed to be until about 10 anyways. As I stepped out into the living room, there was the white haired beauty that was Regina sitting on the couch, idly watching TV. She had on a new outfit, which was just a T-shirt and a skirt, which she stole from my closet. She turned her head to me and smiled.

“Hey sexy. Looks like you had a good night last night,” she asked with a knowing wink. I scoffed playfully at her and took a seat next to her. As I did, she slipped a hand underneath me and squeezed my ass. I let out a soft groan as she did, which made her smirk.

“Where are Vanessa and Summer?” I asked, trying not to be distracted by Regina’s groping.

“Oh, Vanessa had class to get to,” Regina said, still squeezing my ass, “And Summer said she was heading out to get some stuff for breakfast, so I’m waiting for her to get back.” I looked at her a little surprised. “What? I still like eating.”

I gave her a smile as I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled back and chuckled before turning back to her show. I nervously fidgeted with my hands before building up the nerve to talk with her. “Regina, you wouldn’t lie to me, would you?”

She raised an eyebrow at me. “I am incapable of lying to you, Ringmaster.” She still had her usual half-open eyes, but I could tell she was curious where I was going with this.

I took a deep breath, resolving myself. I looked into her deep hazel eyes before finally speaking. "Tell me, who is Seqora?"

Immediately, her eyes widened upon hearing that name. "Where did you hear that name?"

"So you know her?" I asked, but Regina immediately huddled right up next to me like an excited child almost.

"Tell me more, please!" Regina pleaded. "How did you know about her? Did you meet her? Please, Maria! Tell me!"

"Easy!" I said and Regina stopped shaking my shoulders. "First, you have to tell me something. Who is Seqora?"

Regina nodded vehemently. "Seqora is..."
