It had been several minutes, Kitty was sure. And Marley still continued staring off into space, looking shocked. Kitty sat in utter silence, just watching her. Oh my God! Oh my God! Why did I say that? I freaked her out. I freaked her out! Damn it! Why can't I control my thoughts? Kitty began to panic, but was too afraid to move from under Marley's arm, which was till draped over her abdomen. She cleared her throat quietly, trying to read Marley's face for some sort of reaction. When Marley's face didn't change, Kitty tried clearing her throat louder. Marley still didn't move. After several more minutes, Kitty couldn't bring herself to continue watching Marley's expression. She slowly turned away, and decided to focus on the movie instead. While it hadn't ended yet, Kitty knew that it was almost over. She didn't have much time before one of them would have to move. What do I do? Kitty was mortified. Marley must be so creeped out by me! Why hasn't she moved yet? Marley still hadn't moved a muscle, despite having been in the same position for almost half an hour.

"What did you say?" Kitty jumped aggressively, not having expected to hear Marley speak at all. Kitty forced herself to turn around, and looked at Marley. Marley was no longer staring off into space, but rather towards Kitty's face, as if she were trying to read it. Kitty wasn't sure if she looked confused or furious or disgusted or upset or any emotion whatsoever. She was once again too intimidated to maintain the eye contact, and looked away.

"I...I...I...I'm s-s-s...orry Marley" Kitty stuttered, unsure of how to go about apologizing for what Marley had been forced to hear. She let her head fall to the ground with a light clunk, and hid her expression from Marley's gaze.

"Kitty.." Marley said quietly. Kitty was still to embarrassed to look up, so she whined a quiet "what" into her own arm.

"Kitty." Marley said again. Kitty still couldn't force herself to look Marley in the face, so she simply shook her head.

"Kitty!" Marley said, raising her voice. When Kitty refused to lift her head, Marley reached forward and nudged her shoulder with two fingers. Kitty shifted her head, but still refused to look Marley in the face. Marley reached forward and grabbed Kitty's face with one hand, leaning it to face her.

"Kitty. Look at me." Marley begged quietly. Kitty finally turned her head, and shyly made eye contact with Marley. "Do you have something you'd like to tell me?" Marley asked gently, trying not to frighten Kitty into averting her gaze again. Kitty's lower lip trembled, and unshed tears threatened to overflow the edge of Kitty's eyelids. Kitty could only stare at Marley, too afraid to speak. Marley gave her a small smile, attempting to encourage her to continue. Well, it's now or never I guess.

"Marley, please don't hate me." Kitty began. Marley moved to interrupt, but Kitty cut her off. "No, just listen to me. I want to apologize if this makes you feel uncomfortable. I don't want to cause you any more harm than I already have, so there is only one way I can say this." Kitty sat up, and grasped both of Marley's hands in her own. She locked eye contact with Marley, deciding to pour every ounce of effort she could muster into this confession. C'mon Kitty...be a man. Well...you know what I mean. "Marley Rose, you are the most beautiful, amazing girl I have ever met. From the first day I saw you, I couldn't help but fall for you. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. When you started going to Mckinley, I started having a reason to come to school. I joined Glee club, just so I could have an excuse to be in the same room as you for longer than a few minutes. I know that I constantly picked on you. I know that I never let up with the insults about you and your mom. I know that I ordered you to be slushied almost every day that you attended school. I couldn't help it; the feelings that I had for you were uncontrollable. I didn't know what to do about them. I couldn't talk to you about it...I would have been made fun of for liking a girl. The only time that I felt at piece in this hell hole of a life was when I did the duet with you in Glee club. Every time I heard you sing, every time you made eye contact with me, every time you smiled at me, I felt like my heart would burst out of my chest. So, as I said before, I apologize if this makes you feel uncomfortable. I want us to be able to stay friends, but I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore. I just needed you to know that."

Marley remained motionless, still maintaining eye contact with Kitty. When she still hadn't responded, Kitty released Marley's hands, and stood. Kitty walked around Marley, and opened her door. Before she could walk out of it though, Marley spoke up.

"Kitty, wait!" Kitty turned around just in time to be pinned against Marley's door, causing it to slam shut. Marley hovered inches away from Kitty's face, gazing into her eyes. God, her eyes are stunning up close. Kitty's heart thudded roughly against her ribcage, attempting to free itself. She looked at Marley confusedly, not understanding the motive behind Marley's actions. Marley's eyes darted down to Kitty's lips, giving Kitty a moment of clarity before the unthinkable happened. Marley delicately attached her lips to Kitty's, sucking gently at Kitty's bottom lip. Kitty moaned loudly into the kiss, causing Marley to groan in response. Kitty relished the feeling, before Marley finally pulled away slightly for some air.

"You never...let me...respond" Marley said in between breaths. They were both suddenly feeling lightheaded and stupid. Marley grinned widely at Kitty, who returned the smile. Kitty gently stroked Marley's face, allowing her fingers to run over Marley's lips. Marley kissed Kitty's hand, and placed her own over it. They both couldn't help but stare lovingly into each other's eyes.

"I didn't think you liked me like this" Marley pointed to both of them "but I thought you had figured out that I liked you. My mom made it pretty obvious when you first came over.." Marley finished quietly, growing embarrassed again at how forward her mother had been.

"I thought you might, but I couldn't understand why you would like me, so I didn't think too much into it.." Kitty stated timidly, biting her lip. "I'm glad I was wrong." Marley smiled in response, and leaned in to kiss Kitty again. She nipped softly at Kitty's lip, causing her to moan. Kitty's knees buckled, and she grabbed Marley for support. Marley pulled away and laughed, sitting down with Kitty.

"I guess we shouldn't get too carried away..." Marley said innocently, chewing on her bottom lip. Kitty was mesmerized by every movement that Marley made. Every time Marley batted her eyelashes or bit her lip, she almost lost it.

"God, you are so sexy." Kitty stated, suddenly realizing how brash it sounded. She turned dark red, immediately following up with "sorry". Marley laughed loudly and forced Kitty onto the ground, climbing on top of her. Marley slowly kissed her, allowing her tongue to snake into Kitty's mouth, who groaned at the feeling. Marley moved her kisses along Kitty's jaw, enjoying the sound of Kitty trying to catch her breath. She giggled into Kitty's neck, and whispered huskily into her ear; "you're not too bad yourself". Okay, I am definitely getting carried away, thought Kitty. Marley laughed loudly, and rolled off of Kitty.

"Cock tease..." Kitty muttered.

Marley laughed again in response. "Weren't we watching some movies before? How about we move on to Alladin, since Hercules has been over for almost an hour."

"Wow, I almost forgot about the movies. I was kind of distracted.." Kitty said quietly, smirking seductively at Marley. Marley stuck out her tongue at Kitty, and went to change the DVD out. Kitty allowed herself a brief glimpse of Marley's ass. Marley noticed that Kitty was staring, and swayed her hips slightly, trying to force a reaction out of Kitty. Kitty took a deep breath and breathed it out slowly, averting her gaze from Marley's backside. Marley chuckled, and hit play on the DVD. She settled back on the ground, patting the spot in front of her for Kitty to cuddle in to. Kitty laid across Marley's front, and let Marley drape her arm over her once again.

Kitty laid her head down on the ground, looking up at Marley. Marley was engrossed in the movie, but Kitty didn't mind. She just wanted to watch Marley. Kitty couldn't help but notice just how incredibly beautiful Marley was. Her eyes were baby blue, and considerably lighter than the color of her hair, which flowed in gentle waves across her upper body. Next to her left eyebrow was an absolutely adorable dimple, which deepened every time Marley changed her expression. Her teeth were stunning, and her front teeth were slightly lower than the rest of them, giving her smile an incredibly cute quirk. Her cheek bones pushed out roughly, making her skin seem considerably thinner than it should be. Kitty frowned, and couldn't help but think back to how that was all her fault. She wasn't this thin when she started at Mckinley. She looks like she has lost a lot of weight since we started hanging out...Kitty squeezed out a few more tears at the observation. Marley finally looked down at her, and frowned immediately when she noticed that Kitty was crying.

"Kitty? What's wrong?" Marley said sadly, reaching down to wipe away the tears. Kitty simply reached up, and traced around Marley's cheek bones. When Marley didn't seem to understand, Kitty moved her fingers down to Marley's collarbone, and traced around the hollow points. Marley sighed, and retrieved Kitty's hand from her neck. She pulled the hand up to her face, and peppered kisses across the palm.

"Kitty, you need to stop blaming yourself. You know I don't blame you for anything that happened. And, it's all in the past. You can't change what happened, so you should focus on moving forward. Please stop worrying..." Marley smiled, still kissing Kitty's hand. Kitty smiled at Marley, and watched the beautiful brunette kiss her hand.

"You are so beautiful, Marley." Kitty said again. Marley smiled at her, and leaned forward for another kiss. Kitty gripped the back of Marley's neck, allowing the kiss to become more forceful. Marley let her hands roam around Kitty's back, not really deciding on any particular anchor point. The kiss deepened, and Kitty felt Marley's tongue slither into her mouth. She moaned at the contact, encouraging Marley to climb on top of her again. Just as she thought that Marley was teasing her, she felt hands start rubbing her thighs.

"Oh, Marley.." Kitty moaned, gladly allowing Marley to get carried away. Marley moved her kisses across Kitty's jaw, finally nibbling on Kitty's ear lobe. Kitty's eyes scrunched together, and she watched black lights dance behind her eyelids. She felt Marley's hands roam towards her clit, finally grazing it once. Kitty gasped at the contact, and jumped. Marley suddenly seemed to realize that they were getting carried away, and stopped her groping. She pulled back and smiled at Kitty, placing a chaste kiss on her lips before climbing off of her. Kitty groaned at the loss of contact, and rubbed her face vigorously in frustration.

"Seriously Marley? I promise I don't mind if we get carried away.." Kitty whimpered, trying to seduce Marley. Marley laughed, and linked hands with Kitty.

"I think we should decide where this" she indicated between both of them "is going before we get too serious" Marley suggested. Kitty simply nodded in response, before furrowing her eyebrows.

"So..what is" she copied Marley's hand gesture "this?"

Marley simply stared at Kitty and furrowed her own eyebrows, still unsure of how to respond to the question. Well, might as well put all my cards on the table. At this point, I don't have a lot to lose.

Kitty leaned back on her calves, gathering Marley's hands in her own.

"Marley Rose, will you be my girlfriend?" she made eye contact confidently with Marley. Marley's eyebrows un-furrowed, and her smile widened.

"Thank God you asked first! I was too nervous to say the "g" word.." Marley said sheepishly.

"Thank God you said yes! I wasn't expecting you to.." Kitty replied. Marley simply rolled her eyes, and leaned forward for another kiss. As she pulled back, Marley yawned loudly, and rubbed one of her eyes. Kitty giggled at how adorable any noise coming from Marley sounded.

"I think it might be time to head to bed.." Marley mumbled incoherently. Kitty nodded in agreement, and followed Marley to the bed. Marley laid down, and made a space for Kitty to cuddle in to. Kitty grinned widely, and climbed in to bed beside Marley. Marley snuggled tightly against Kitty, kissing the side of her neck.

"Good night, Kitty." Marley mumbled. Kitty smiled again.

"Good night Marley."
