Susanna moved the brush up and down, a bittersweet smile upon her face. She loved being alone with Lisa, they did things alone that... well, let's just say she couldn't be called promiscuous among just boys anymore. Which was strange, she had to admit to herself. Her whole life, Susanna never felt feelings like she has for Lisa, towards other girls. She has never wanted to have such a wonderful relationship with one either. Just the feeling of acceptance and friendship with Lisa, it made her feel... something she couldn't quite describe.

"You said I could come and visit you?" Lisa asked in a heartbreakingly sad voice, her eyes boring into Susanna's.

"Of course." Susanna looked up from painting Lisa's nails, and was surprised, shocked even, to see a look of sadness in Lisa's eyes. The same eyes that always seemed so alive with fiery passion, Susanna reminded herself.

"Do you think... I could come and live with you?"

"S...Sure!" The question caught Susanna off-guard, and the happiness she felt almost made her drop the brush, her grip slipping. "There! All done!" She remarked, putting the finishing touches on her project.

Lisa grinned that contagious grin of hers, watching Susanna screw the lid back on the nail polish bottle. "You know that stuff you write in your journal?"

"Yeah?" Lisa replied, a blank but somehow full of emotion, expression on her face. She turned towards Lisa, and again all Lisa could do was smile, chucking a bit, of which Susanna returned. "What is it?" She smiled, a little worried but amused at the same time.

"I can't wait to read the stuff you get published."

"Well, you will be the first." Susanna had gotten closer, a sexy, playful tone to her voice. Lisa almost thought she was going to lose her breath when Susanna leaned in, pausing just before their lips touch. "Lisa..." She whispered remorsefully, pulling back. "I...can't... I don't know if this is right."

"Don't worry about it. There is nothing wrong about it, just go with your natural instinct." Lisa leaned forward, touching her lips against Susanna's. The kiss was short, but their was nothing soft about it. Susanna drew back after awhile, a smile on her face.

"Make sure you get out soon. I don't know how long I can go until I feel your touch against mine again."

"Suzie Q, you won't have to worry, I'll be moved in before you know it."

A knock at the door startled them both, "Susanna, I'm afraid it's time to go." It was Valerie.

"Okay Val. I'm coming." Suzanna gave Lisa one last hug, then headed out the door. I love the way she is like that. Only to me.
