Hi. I'm starting this new story. It will focus on Karmy and Reamy, since I can't decide which one I like best. Reagan will arrive in the story soon. Liam does not exist in this story for obvious reasons. I just really did not want to write him. First chapter is quite short, but next chapters will be longer.
Please let me know if you're interested in reading the rest of this story. It would really motivate me. Suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome. I'm from Belgium, which means that English isn't my native language. So my apologies for all the mistakes that are possibly in the story. You can always contact me through my tumblr: eatingsushieveryday.
Hope you enjoy :) Leave a review if you did.
It sounded so simple, but Amy knew that it wasn't going to be simple. Nothing was ever simple with Karma. Amy had accepted that over the years. Her best friend wasn't always the easiest to live with, but she made her peace with it over the years. Amy was still confused by the whole plan. Karma did this a lot. Come up with schemes, plans, manipulations to get her way to whatever the hell she wanted right now. And that's okay. Amy always admired that in the redhead. She knew what she wanted and she was ready to work for it, and sacrifice whatever needs to be sacrificed on the way. Amy didn't work like that. Half the time, she couldn't really figure out what she wanted anyway.
"So what exactly is the plan again?" I asked Karma. I still wasn't sure what the hell Karma wanted from me. I just wanted to watch House Hunters.
"Alright, for the millionth time. Since Zen is back from the peace corps for two months, I need to divert their attention from him to me." Karma said.
"And why is that exactly?"
"Because Zen is an ass and you know it. I just want my parents to see that I'm worthy of their attention."
I sighed. "But Karma, you're amazing. You don't need to do these weird stunts to get their attention. If only you just told them the truth, it would save us all a lot of time."
"You know as well as me that I don't think like that, Amy. Truth and I aren't a match made in heaven so if you'd be so kind to go along with my amazing plan." Karma put her hand on my knee and I felt a current of electricity.
Amy stared at the hand on her knee and swallowed. The truth was that she had been feeling weird around her best friend for a while now. Well, she couldn't really pinpoint to the moment when the tension started, but Amy had made her peace with it. It had been maybe a year? Or was it longer? Anyway, she realized that Karma didn't feel the same way, even though Amy wasn't really sure what she was feeling. She just really liked her best friend. A little too much, but there was no reason why she should tell her that. It would only make things more awkward between them. She could live with these weird feelings. They grew on her. On a normal day, she wouldn't even think about them. But then Karma would touch her and suddenly she felt the feelings wash over her like a fucking ocean and it was driving her quite crazy at times like that.
"I'm still not convinced this is an amazing plan, though. I think it'll probably blow up in your face." I crossed my legs which ended up in Karma's hand falling down. She didn't seem to notice it luckily.
"Why not?" Karma asked.
"Why would us being a couple change anything about your home situation?" Amy asked.
"You know how my parents are. They are the most open minded people that exist. Which means that they will be so happy when I tell them that they're only daughter is a lesbian. They have always hoped that one of their kids would be queer, and I'm not going to let Zen steal my spotlight. Not since he's getting so much attention for the damn peace corps."
"It's actually really noble of him that he wants to work for the peace corps. Most people would find it courageous." Amy said. She knew that would annoy Karma.
Karma sighed. "Come on. You know that Zen is a big jerk. I'm almost certain he's not really in the peace corps. Please, could you help me? You just need to come over a few times and we'll act like a couple and then my parents can be really proud of me."
"I bet your parents are already proud of you. I just don't think that this is a very good idea. What if they find out that you are lying to them?"
"They will never find out. We'll be such good actresses, they will never notice the difference. Please, Amy?" Karma pouted and Amy's heart melted. Amy could feel it physically melt in her body. She actually hated the amount of power that Karma held over her. It was terrifying how much she would do for her best friend. If Karma jumped out of a plane, Amy was pretty sure she would jump right after her.
Amy rolled her eyes. Why the fuck did she have to look so damn cute. "Fine. But I'm a terrible liar, you do know that, right?"
"I got it covered. You only have to nod at dinner and maybe make out with me in front of my parents and that's it."
Somewhere around when Karma said make out, Amy's stomach dropped. What? Was Karma actually being serious about this? She had to be kidding? Right?
"What?" She asked and her voice's pitch sounded unnatural.
Karma shrugged. "Amy, you do want my parents to believe that we're a couple right? Then we will have to occasionally kiss, but I swear it won't be awkward."
"I don't know, Karma. This already feels weird."
"Wow, rude. I didn't expect you to be so appalled by the idea of kissing me. Thanks Amy." Karma turned her body away.
"That's not what I meant. I'm sure you're a great kisser." Amy rambled. Did she really say that last part out loud? Amy could feel a blush on her face.
Karma turned around and her face suddenly seemed way too close. "Great. Then we have a deal?" Karma put on her biggest tv-commercial smile and Amy couldn't resist.
"Fine." Amy grunted.
Karma swung her arms around Amy. The blonde sighed and placed her head on Karma's shoulder. This wasn't going to end well. Why in the world did she agree?
