Sarah
as I looked in the mirror I tried to clean up my face. Mariana might have claimed I looked beautiful but she was lying. where am I going to go after im kicked out of here.
after supper was over she attempted to take me upstairs to her room but her parents stopped her.
"where do you think you're going, Miss thing?" Stef said. I cant help but like the nickname it seemed to fit her.
"Really mom? Callies up there" she said complaining.
"yeah well you two are staying downstairs." Lena said. As much as I would love some privacy I know I wont get anywhere in this house. we went downstairs and turned on the TV and both mom joined us. I'm not sure if they are really trying to keep an eye on us or if they were planning on watching some TV themselves.
I tried to stay as close to Mariana as possible without her moms yelling at us. I couldn't help but be interested in her moms relationship, its nice to see a happy married lesbian couple. All the books I have read about it always talked about teenage gay couples but never adults.
They sat close to each other but didn't touch much, they seemed comfortable just being near each other.
As the awkwardness hung in the air I couldn't help but ask questions to get a conversation going.
"so how long have you two been together?" I asked and they looked shocked at the sudden question.
"um ten.. almost eleven years" Stef answered for both of them. Mariana gave me a weird look but decided against saying anything.
"wow. I was just curious, ive only ever seen teenage lesbian couples" I said awkwardly. this time Mariana gave me a look like, 'what are you doing?' The conversation died down from there but luckily an episode of Friends was playing so it wasn't awkward.

once moms finally decided it was bed time they got out some blankets and pillows to put on the couch for Sarah. they kissed me good night and told me to be in my room in fifteen minutes. The unspoken words were we will be checking in on you. Then they were finally gone and we had some alone time.
"sorry you will never get privacy in this house" I said and she laughed nervously.
"I can tell, its ok your parents seem nice." she said as she pulled the blanket up around her.
"yeah, are you ok?" I said. she might be good at pretending she's fine but I can tell she's not. she shook her head and practically fell into my arms. she didn't even cry she just laid her head on my shoulder.
"I just feel lost" she said. "I don't have a home. Where am I suppose to go after this? I don't have anything but my cell phone and the clothes I have on now." My stomach clenched at her words, I can relate to much to that feeling. I hate knowing she feels this way. I have no way to make her feel better.
"its ok. I have been in that situation before, well not exactly the same but..." I don't even know how to word this.
"when i was in foster care me and my brother where constantly moved from house to house and each day you never knew for certain where you would be the next. I hated it, its terrifying. I didn't feel safe until I came here. i know what its like to be lost and not have a home, im so sorry" i said as i wiped one of her tears away.
"How did you get through it?" she asked as she held my stare.
"Jesus. i relied a lot on him and he helped me through it." she looked down and I know i have to help her somehow.
"You're not alone." i promised and when she looked up at me again i kissed her. She moved closer and i wrapped my arms around her and continued to kiss her. It wasn't long before we were interrupted.
"oh god sorry" Brandon said as we pulled apart both extremely red from embarrassment.
"Brandon!" I said annoyed. we really will never have privacy in this house.
"did moms send you to spy on us?" I said and he just looked at us in shock.
"No! I wanted a drink, I thought it was safe." he said still seeming to be recovering for what he saw.
"well sorry we aren't allowed in my room" I said awkwardly. As he went into the kitchen he turned back to us."i can see why. im going to assume moms know about this" he said gesturing towards us.
"yeah you are a little behind on the drama. get over it" I said as he downed a cup of water in one sip.
"you're lucky moms didn't see that, that wouldn't have gone over very well" he stated heading back upstairs.
"I'm sorry about that" I said and looked at the clock. "I should probably go upstairs so they don't freak out on me."i explained kissing her goodnight, without even thinking about it first.
I laid in bed trying to wrap my mind around what just happened. We just made out, like tongues and everything made out, and i liked it.
wow, well I'm starting to really ship this couple. well let me know what you think,and what you like to happen next. i love to hear from you guys.
