"Amy it's been two days. Just text her"
"Shane I can't! I humiliated myself. I spit TEQIULA on her!" Amy whined
"Yeah and that hot little taquito STILL gave you her number. So use it"
It's true. Even after Amy herself not once but twice Reagan still wanted Amy to call her.
"That seriously never happens Ames, you have got to text her. What do you have to lose?" Shane always had his ways to make Amy do what he wanted. Even when she really didn't want to.
"Fine. But if this ends badly. Which it will. I will kill you"
"And when it ends in you guys scissoring. Which it will. You can thank me"
Amy rolled her eye's and grabbed her phone.
Hey Reagan. It's Amy from the other night.
Two minutes later her phone buzzed.
Shrimp grl! Finally used my number! And what are you up 2 this fine Saturday morning?
The blonde couldn't help but smile. "Shrimp girl" was literally the worst nickname she had ever received.
Not a lot actually. Just at my place with Shane. Thinking of watching a documentary.
Immediately her phone buzzed in response.
Perfect! I like documentaries. What's your address Shrimp grl?
"SHANE! WHAT DO I DO!" Amy yelled.
"Brush your hair, put on something cute and I'll text her your address" She quickly tossed her phone to the boy and sprinted towards the bathroom and started yanking a bush through her long blonde hair. "You have ten minutes to make yourself decent" Shane called from Amy's bedroom. "I've already got you the perfect lesbian outfit...And brush your teeth, unless you want to scare her off with your awful breath" For once Amy was glad that her mom and Bruce were out of town with her step sister Lauren all weekend for one of her pageants.
"Mayth breabbth doesnntpp stimpht" Amy yelled with her mouth full of toothpaste. She finished getting ready just in the nick of time before the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it" Shane yelled. "Oh hi DJ girl, perfect timing I was just leaving. BYE AMES HAVE FUN!"
This was NOT what they had talked about, Shane wasn't supposed to leave. They were supposed to spend the afternoon together eating donuts and watching Netflix. And he certainly wasn't supposed to leave her alone with this girl. The blonde rushed down the stairs trying to stop Shane before he made it out the door, but in her haste she skipped a step casuing her to tumble the rest of the way down.
"Damn Shrimp girl be careful! You can't be falling for me already." Reagan rushed over to Amy taking her hand and helping her to her feet. "He's gone by the way. He rushed out the door like a bat out of hell yammering about us enjoying our scissor sandwhich. So what are we watching?"
"Uhh well, Shane and I were supposed to watch Bridegroom, but I'm starting to think that's a bad idea"
"Damn I heard that was a good one" Amy could see the disappointment on the other girls face. "Ok Ok! Let's go" She sighed leading Reagan upstairs to her room.
"So. This is where the magic happens eh?"
"If by magic you mean binge eating and Shane doing my nails then sure. Make yourself at home" Amy watched as the other girl flopped face first onto half of the bed, she quickly went and turned the movie. Carefully taking the spot next to her. They sat in silence while the movie began. About halfway through the movie Reagan could feel herself lose the inner battle with her emotions and a few tears escaped out of her dark eyes. Sneaking a quick look at Amy she saw that she too was crying.
"Aw, Shrimps! You were right this was a terrible movie to watch" She laughed through her tears. Scooting closer to the blonde she took the other girls hand and pulled her closer.
Amy could feel her body tense up at the feeling of Reagan so close to her. "Is this ok?" The other girl asked. Amy didn't expect to be this nervous. Yes, she was normally pretty awkward but that was entirely due to her personality. And it rarely attributed to her being nervous. She managed to croak out a quiet "Yes" and relaxed her body enough to finally take a breath. The smell of cinnamon and oranges filling her nostrils. Looking up her eyes met Reagan's. Amy could feel her whole body tense at the proximity of the other girl. Reagan must have felt Amy's nervousness and quickly backed up.
"So Uh, Shrimps. Do you maybe want to grab a bite to eat?" She smiled getting up off of the bed. "I heard of this really great place on Fourth that has the best burgers"
"Sure, let me grab my bag." Just as Amy reached up to grab her bag she knocked the contents on top of her nightstand onto her bed.
"And who is this guy" Reagan asked picking up Amy's tiny stuffed bear.
"That is Mr. Brown" She replied snatching him out of her hand, face quickly going red. "Are we going or not"
Reagan smiled and lead the blonde down to her beat up old pick up. "This is Cheyanne. Cheyanne this is Amy" Now normally Amy found naming your car completely obnoxious. (See Liam booker and his car Jessie...barf) but she couldn't help but laugh at the beat up old truck. "Why hello Cheyanne" She curtsied. Reagan walked around and held the passengers side door waiting for Amy to slide in. As soon as Reagan started the engine the truck filled with the sound of old Dashboard Confessional.
"Honestly Reagan, I did not take you for a Dashboard fan"
"There's a lot you don't know about me Shrimps" She said winking at her. Doing that lippy-bitey thing that made Amy's whole body flush.
Once at the restaurant Amy and Reagan found a table closer to the back of the room. They promptly ordered and as soon as the food came dove in. It didn't take long after that for them to settle into easy conversation. Talking about friends, and family. Amy mostly talked about Shane and Karma. It wasn't always easy for Amy to just open up, but something about the lazy smile planted on Reagan's face made her want to open up a bit more.
"You were right. This place is the best" Amy said a mouth full of burger.
"Told you. I never disappoint." The other girl smiled slyly. "Hey Shrimps, you got a little something right here" She said reaching across the table running her thumb under the blonde girls bottom lip. "There, all gone" She smiled placing her hand on top of Amy's.
"Well if I wasn't gay before" Amy breathed staring into the other girls eyes.
"You know you're making this way too easy" the brunette laughed uneasily.
"Making what easy"
"Sweeping you off your feet"
It was Amy's turn now to feel uneasy. Amy wasn't exactly experienced when it came to relationships. Unless you count the time Amy and Karma pretended to date so that Liam Booker would finally notice Karma. But really Amy didn't count that at all. So that left her with zero experience in the romance world, but even with her lack of experience she knew what flirting was. And Reagan. Well lets just say she was really good at it.
The rest of lunch went as follows. Reagan made some sort of innuendo. Amy blushed and tried to come off uneffected...unsuccessfully. Reagan would touch Amy's hand. Amy blushed. Reagan bought lunch and suggested going back to Amy's to finish the movie. Amy blushed.
Reagan was right. She was getting swept up fast in the hurricane that was Reagan Cortez
I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this but I was really excited to get it out there. Next chapter will finally feature a little bit of Karma. But in a friendly way. Also...I love Shane. Just saying.
Cheers xx
