Amy
"Lauren, this girl is incredible. I could go on for hours about her." "Well, you kind of have Amy. You haven't stopped talking about her all day. It's been what? Like a week? Give it some more time before you go confessing your love for her to everyone. Especially me, you can spare me the details."
I'm laying on Lauren's floor staring up at the ceiling but really, I'm on cloud nine. I've been smiling all week. This past Saturday, I went on a date with this girl Reagan. It really came out of no where. I never thought about dating a girl before, but now, I'm wondering why I never did.
Anyway, I was just minding my own business and sitting against a tree reading in the park, when this gorgeous girl sat down next to me. She leaned over to see what book I was reading and just started asking me about it. A short while later, she asked me if I wanted to go get some ice cream. I don't know exactly where it came from but I said to her, "Like a date?" and she just laughed and said, "if that's what you want it to be." We've been talking non- stop since that day.
"Trust me, when you meet her, you'll understand." "If you say so Amy."
I get up from Lauren's floor and head to my room to do basically the same thing, just alone. I invited Reagan over tonight so that she can meet Lauren and she should be here soon so I'm just going to pass my time daydreaming until she gets here.
I got lost in thought for however long when I heard the doorbell ring and I not so casually sprinted down the stairs to open the door. But, of course when I got to the bottom step, I slowed myself. I have to seem at least a little relaxed, though that may be impossible considering how excited I am. I opened the door and Reagan was there casually leaning on the doorframe and she just looked so…breathtaking. Literally. For a few seconds I think I stopped breathing.
"Amy? Are you ok?" "Oh yeah, sorry come on in."
I shout for Lauren to come down as I lead Reagan over to the couch in the living room.
"Hey, you must be Reagan. Nice to finally meet the person who I have been hearing about non-stop lately." "And you must be Lauren. I'm glad she talks about me too because i'm pretty sure my sister is going to kick me out of our apartment soon if I don't stop talking about her." "Oh great. You two are going to be that kind of couple aren't you?" "Alright Lauren calm down," I say because I'd rather not have her scare away a potential…girlfriend? The word seems to fit so nicely when I think of Reagan but it's still a whole new way of thinking for me. Reagan laces her fingers together with mine and looks over to Lauren, "if by 'that kind of couple' you mean adorably cute, then yes. That's exactly how I intend to be at least. But don't worry I'll tone it down for you. As long as I can hold her hand in front of you, I think I can manage." Lauren rolls her eyes but there is definitely a hint of a smile. She comes off sassy but something tells me that she's happy for me. Even if it is just so that I'm not constantly in her room trying to bother her. "Ok well now that we have the meet and greet out of the way, how about some movies and popcorn?" This is my favorite way to spend evenings. What could possibly be more entertaining?
Lauren
No one is even watching the movie. I honestly don't even know why Amy even chose to put one on. She really doesn't seem to think things through. Obviously when people first meet, they're going to want to talk and get to know each other, not stare mindlessly at a movie that has such a predictable ending.
I actually really like Reagan. She seems to have good intentions and she's really funny. Of course, if she ever hurts Amy…well, let's just hope she doesn't. I'd never say it out loud, but I feel very protective over Amy. I feel like she sometimes needs someone there to protect her. Just think of me as a type of small guard dog. Cute and tiny, but ready to attack if need be.
The movie runs through the credits for the third time tonight and I decide that it's time for me to go to bed. So I say goodnight to Amy and Reagan and head up to my room, giving them a bit of privacy.
Amy
Lauren went upstairs and suddenly I'm feeling very nervous and I can see Reagan looking at me from the corner of my eye as I continue to stare at the now black screen.
"Amy? Is everything ok?" She starts to scoot closer to me and I can feel my whole body stiffen and Reagan notices too. "Amy, trust me, there's no reason to be nervous. This is obviously new for you so we can move as slow as you like. Speed of a snail if we have to, or slower than that. Though I don't really have a cute animal that's slower than a snail…?" "You think snails are cute?" Reagan giggles at that and replies, "That's what you got from everything I said? But yes, have you googled pictures of snails lately? They're adorable. Almost as adorable as you." She then leans in and kisses me softly on the cheek and I can feel a blush rising. "But, I should get going anyway. Sabrina is probably wondering where I'm at." "Oh sure, that's your sister right?" "Yeah she's my other half. You two will meet soon I suppose." "That'll be fun. Here let me walk you out." We make our way outside and Reagan kisses me on the cheek and I'm still smiling so wide as I watch her drive away.
Lauren
I'm sitting in a coffee shop sipping on a latte when I see Reagan walk in, so I wave her over to my table. She has a confused look on her face but she walks over anyway. "Hey, want to join me?" I ask and her confused look turns more curious and…intrigued? "I would love to join you, let me just go get my coffee first beautiful." Reagan walks off and I'm left a little shocked, did she call me beautiful? I'm all for compliments but I just was not expecting that one. Reagan heads back to the table with her coffee in hand and sits across from me with a smile on her face. Something just seems a little different about her from last night and I just can't seem to put my finger on it.
"So, what made you call me over? Was it my stunning looks? Or were you just lonely? Though I'm not complaining either way." "Reagan, what are you talking about? If you think for one second that you can be dating my sister one minute and then try to start flirting with me, you are sadly mistaken." "Woah settle down there killer. I'm not Reagan, I'm her sister, Sabrina."
