A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I wasn't sure if I should keep this in Liv's POV so for now I will but later chapters it will be third person! :-)
Alice Cabot was a smart woman. It was a surprise when she actually thought me and her daughter were together or that she actually wanted us together. As I sat on the hood of Alice's red SUV watching the fireworks. Alex ran around drink tequila with her date, Scott.
"Do you think Alexandra loves you? I mean does she hit on you as well?" Alice asked looking over at me.
I smiled and sighed before taking a sip of my beer.
"She does flirt. She grabs me and makes sex jokes towards me but I think it's her personality maybe. I don't know. I just love being close to her even as just her friend."
"Does she know about your feelings?"
"Yes I have told her many times. So I think she's very aware."
Alice shook her head and just looked back up at the sky. Alex did know of my feelings but she never really acknowledged them. She actually kind a laughed it off when I told her. I thought sometimes she was scared to admit she was gay. I could honestly be wrong and she could be as straight as a pole. Normally my straight girlfriends don't grab my ass. I guess Alex is just a complicated person. I don't know. I hated not knowing things…she was my best friend that was all. Just my best friend. I repeated this hoping I'd stop seeing her as a hot woman I wouldn't mind having exploring with my tongue.
Alex walked over to me and climbed up on the car straddling me. She was slurring her words and her date had gone home.
"Liv…take me home."
Alice looked over at me and gave me a look.
"Alexandra! Stop that. You know Olivia is gay and I think you are very aware of her feelings. Act like a lady."
Alex gave me a look and I shrugged acting like I had no idea what her mother was talking about. Alice was crazy and I loved her because she spoke her mind but I hated her for interrupting that moment. I sighed and looked at Alex.
"C'mon."
I said and pulled her off the car. I waved goodbye to her mother and we drove home. It was silent until Alex spoke up and she had most defiantly sobered up because she was using her very serious court voice towards me. It was honestly a turn on.
"How does my mother know about your feelings towards me?"
I pulled up to the front of my house not paying attention to her question until she grabbed my arm and gave me the 'don't fuck with me' look. I let out a deep breath.
"I talk to your mom a lot. I guess that came up a few times."
"You guess? Olivia you know we don't tell my mother things."
I shot her a look and cringed as she used my full name instead of Liv. I now knew she was very mad. I got out of the car and slammed the door. She followed and yelled all the way up the stairs.
"Actually Alex I remember you saying we don't tell your father things because he doesn't like the gays."
She looked at the ground and I unlocked the door.
"I can't go around your father because he doesn't like my life style, remember?" I said opening the door.
She stood in the door way and looked at me. She had that sad puppy dog eyes look every time we fought. I always caved and made up with her. I think we act like a couple more than we'd both like to admit. We share drinks, we share a bed, we fight about pointless things, we make up, and we are contently with each other. I mean I know her peeing schedule that is real love right there!
"Alexandra stop giving me the face!" I said walking back to my room.
She slammed the front door closed and huffed her way to the room. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door way. I smiled and she finally caved and smiled.
"I hate you." She said going to her side of the bed.
"You love me."
I laid beside her and she looked over at me.
"I didn't tell your mom that I wanted her to tell you that I didn't want you to flirt anymore or whatever we do." I said.
"I figured you didn't but I still feel like I should stop. It's rude to tease you and I need to be mature and stop goofing off."
"Goodnight Alexandra."
"Night Olivia."
I just wanted to end that converstation. Alex and I were friends because we didn't need to act mature and we goofed off and did stupid stupid things. Maybe I was being stupid but I think she might want to end the flirting because she started to feel something towards me. I don't know. It's hard to tell what goes through Alex's head.
"Liv."
"Yeah?"
"Stop overthinking and go to sleep."
I smiled through the darkness of the room and closed my eyes listening to her…
When I woke up I could feel my hand brushing against warm smooth skin. My legs were too. My arms were wrapped around something. I caught a hind of perfume and I snapped my eyes opened. I was cuddling Alex! My legs were intertwined with hers. My hand was touching her stomach. I had my hand in her shirt. Oh my god. I slowly removed my body away from hers and I heard her groan in her sleep and move.
I couldn't do this. I could not continue to be her friend. This was not going to work. I was in love with a straight woman, my straight best friend. I could be out there trying to date a woman one that was gay like really gay. I walked out to the kitchen waiting for her to wake up. I needed to stop this. I needed to talk to her.
I heard her groan again and then her little bare feet walk against the floor. I knew she was going to pee and then she'd walk out here. She does it every morning.
"Morning." She said walked into the kitchen.
"Alex we need to talk…I—I can't be friend with you anymore."
TBC…
