Dear Journal,

So I was finally able to talk to Emily and Naomi about Gabrielle. I think I owe Naomi big time for that one. Maybe I'll take her shopping or something! Not sure how she'll take that though, but maybe she can think of another way I could show my appreciation. Even after talking to them, though, I still don't know what to do. I'm not gay, I know that for sure. But what is going on then? What else could it possibly be? Naomi said not to worry that Gabrielle's a girl, just worry about the feelings, and Ems said that maybe Gabrielle was the only girl I'd ever go for.

Why is this so difficult? I don't know how to act around her. I want to touch her, to explore her soft skin… but is that wrong? I mean, I don't even know how I really feel, and it's not like I've asked her how she feels! Naomi said it's obvious that she fancy's me, but I guess I just don't see it. Oi, and it's not like I can just ask her! Then again, she has taken me out to dinner… and the kiss… (Katie's form shivers at the memory of the lip lock) I don't remember a kiss getting to me as much as that one did. It was like she was everywhere all at once.

What am I suppose to do!? Do I continue on like I have done, or do I try to pursue her? This girl business is well hard! Well, I've got to get ready for college, I feel like today is going to be an eventful day.

Katie

Katie spent extra time on her hair and makeup, making sure each curl was perfect. She opted for a shiny lip gloss to go with her natural looking makeup. She then slipped on a jean mini skirt that barely covered her ass along with a low cut, tight, long sleeved black top. The brunette put on a gold necklace that stopped right between her breasts, as if they needed more attention drawn to them. The older twin knew she looked good and she spent a few minutes checking her body out in the mirror. She had purposely put on a black G-string and a black lacy bra underneath her clothes.

She didn't wait for Emily, figuring that Naomi would be over shortly so they could walk together to class. Katie didn't like being the third wheel, and sometimes watching how those two acted made her a little nauseous. The brunette gave herself one last look, sliding her hands over her perky breasts and down her body. Her lips curled up into a smile and she spun on her heel out of the room she shared with her twin and rounded the corner to head down the stairs.

"You're not fucking seriously wearing that?"

Katie paused halfway down the stairs as she heard her twin's voice from the top holding a towel around her body. "Of course I am." She said confidently before turning back around and going down the rest of the stairs, her pumps clicking with each step she took.

She got to school in no time, which now meant she was quite a bit early. Katie had thought about stopping by Gabrielle's flat, but decided against it as she stared down the street she lived on. That might have just been too much, especially since she was already having issues sorting out her own emotions.

The rest of the walk to college went by quickly as the brunette's mind was flooded with thoughts of the tall athletic girl who was still strangely fascinating to her. Katie stopped by her locker to grab the correct book and binder. As she walked to her class she heard numerous cat-calls and whistles as her hips moved back and forth with each step she took. A smirk formed on her lips and she walked into her class. It was empty except for the one person she had been nervous to see. The girl with the long red hair was sitting in her normal seat in the back of the class with her head looking down as she scribbled something down with her pencil.

The clicking of heals was what forced Gabrielle to look up from the homework she was finishing and if she didn't have such a tight control over herself she would have started to drool. Hazel eyes went up and down the older twin's form. She noticed just how short the skirt was and she was having issues not thinking about lifting it up to see what was underneath… or better yet, tasting what was underneath. "Morning, Miss Katie…" she managed to call out softly from her seat.

Katie's face brightened up and she started to walk toward the red head. The shirt was just a little too short and showed a bit of skin between the bottom of it and the top of the mini-skirt. Each step she took seemed to hike it up just a little more, showing off her delectable stomach. Chocolate brown orbs took in the look written across Gabrielle's face, and she hadn't been shy when her hazel eyes moved along her body. "Hey Gabrielle," she said as she took her seat next to the girl, crossing her legs and setting her hands in her lap.

The athlete had to keep her eyes down on her paper to stop herself from doing something to Katie that would get her in trouble. "That's a nice outfit, Miss," her deep voice softly spoke shyly.

The brunette was feeling good about herself and she turned toward the girl with the waist-long red hair. Katie noticed the girl was studying her homework quite intently. Her hand reached over until her fingertips pulled Gabrielle's chin toward her. Hazel-green eyes locked on with her brown ones and the older twin struggled for a few moments before she was able to reply, "Thanks." She said, noticing the fluttering feeling racing through her body. "It's not too much?"

Gabrielle let her gaze run up and down the older twin's seated form before she licked her lips and nodded, "Depends on what you're going for? I have a feeling I'll be beating boys off you with a stick." She hadn't meant to say that last part. It wasn't as if they were in a relationship or anything. "Sorry," she mumbled softly.

"Don't be…" Katie said softly as she leaned in to brush her lips against Gabrielle's check. She hovered there for too long, she knew it, but she couldn't pull away. The athlete's perfume was invading her nostrils and creating a puddle between her legs. "You smell brilliant," Katie whispered as she sat back down in her chair.

Gabrielle felt a shiver running through her body both at the brief yet lingering contact of the twin's lips and it only heightened with what she said against her skin. She was so tempted to ask the girl if she wanted to head back to her flat… but that was everything she was against. Her heart was beating so fast that she almost couldn't hear the space between beats. The athlete decided that not saying anything back would be safer than figuring out what she could say.

"We're still on for Saturday, yeah?"

Katie's voice invaded her personal battle within herself. "Yes, Miss Katie."

"I thought we already talked about this 'Miss' thing, Gabrielle," she said with a smirk as she looked over to the girl at her left.

"I'm sorry; I suppose I fall back into my comfort zone when I get nervous."

The girl ran her fingers through her brown locks as she continued to look over at the red head. "Am I making you nervous?"

"Perhaps nervous wasn't the word I was really looking for."

Katie leaned forward to speak softer as another few students walked into class to take their seats. Her breath felt hot against Gabrielle's ear, "What word was it then?"

"I don't think now is the time to be discussing this."

The brunette moved her left hand over to set on Gabrielle's baggy jeans covered upper thigh. "No time like the present." Her voice teased as her fingertips began to trace up, down, and around the footballer's upper leg.

Gabrielle was focusing herself as best she could with Katie's hand leaving a trail of fire across her thigh. Her hand came to softly stop the twin's movements before she turned her gaze. Her hazel eyes had darkened and her pupil was covering almost the entire iris. "Please, Katie," she said, her voice shaking softly and it was obvious to the twin that she was really hanging on to her control by a thread.

Katie turned her hand around underneath Gabrielle's and slipped her fingers between the athlete's own to interlock them. "I'm sorry. I… "

Gabrielle waived off the apology with her free hand before looking down at their interlocked hands sitting on her thigh. She was both confused and elated. Carefully her gaze moved up to the chocolate browns that she felt she would fall into and never return. The footballer was looking for any kind of fear, any kind of regret, but she couldn't see any in the elder twin's gaze. "Look, I need to be… honest, with you." The shy athlete took in a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down enough to say what she needed to say. "I really fancy you, Mi…. Katie, and I'm having a hard time keeping it to myself when you're so close to me..." Her gaze broke from the twin's to their hands again and she squeezed gently, "… and especially when you're teasing me like you were," she finished softly, looking back up into Katie's orbs.

The brunette swore that her heart stopped for a few seconds before it started back up. "I… I didn't mean to tease you. I mean… I did… but I didn't mean… I mean…" she stuttered out an attempt to reply, but really didn't get anywhere with it.

They two hadn't even realized that the rest of the class had come in and now their teacher was standing at the front of the class, asking for everyone's attention. Both girls turned to look forward and their hands stayed joined until Gabrielle had to pull her hand away to begin writing notes on the lesson.

Once their Math class was over and the bell went off, Katie turned to Gabrielle, "Do you think I could come over to yours after college?"

Gabrielle's lips curled into a smile. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a single key and offered it to the older twin, "This is yours. You're welcome at my flat whether I'm there or not, yeah?"

Katie knew when the girl pulled out the key that it wasn't the footballer's usual set of keys. Her eyebrows had furrowed slightly before they rose in surprise, "Are… are you sure?"

The red head nodded her head. "I've got practice, but I should be home around half passed 4. Just shoot me a text or leave me a voice mail if you're going to be there. I wouldn't want to think you are a burglar or anything."

The twin smiled as she picked up the single key from the girl's soft hand and she immediately put it onto her key ring. "Well, how about you just plan that I'll be there. I'll head over right after my last class and wait for you."

"That's sorted then," Gabrielle said as she stood up; placing a soft kiss on Katie's cheek, before heading out the door with a huge grin on her features.
