A/N: No chapter yesterday, but here's chapter 10. This chapter was intended to be a little shorter, but I'm kind of busy today. It will get longer I hope soon! :)

Imogen looked at Fiona following the talk of the bond they shared.

Fiona looked sad over the fact that Imogen wasn't ready for sex.

"I'm sorry. I'm just not there yet. I don't want to ruin what we have right now." Imogen said, grabbing Fiona's arm.

"Don't be. I get it. I don't know what to expect either. It's scary and I want to wait too." Fiona said, kissing Imogen.

"It will be worth it." Imogen said, placing her head on Fiona's shoulder.

The two drifted off to sleep. This wasn't the greatest idea, because it was soon a little after 11pm. The two girls had school in the morning.

"SHIT! Wake up Fiona!" Imogen shook Fiona to wake her up.

"Whaaat?" Fiona woke up groggily.

"We fell asleep for a while! It's eleven! I need to get home before my mom wonders where I am."

Imogen looked at her phone and of course she had five unread messages from her mom.

Imogen put her phone on speakerphone to listen to it with Fiona.

"Imogen Moreno where in the world are you!? Call me!" the first message said.

The second message was a little more frantic:

"I'm getting worried! Where are you!? We need to talk. This isn't the right way!"

"I have to call her. I'll tell her I'm staying here and that I have all my school things."

"Okay." Fiona said, giving some space to Imogen, leaving the room for a moment.

"Mom. I'm sorry. I'm over at Eli's. I'm spending the night here. I have my school things. I can't deal with everything at home right now."

"That's fine as long as you're alright. I'm sorry what I said earlier. I love you and I just want what's best for you."

"Mom, I know, but I know what's best for me. Just please let me be myself."

There was a small pause on the other end. She heard her mother choke up.

"I know, but you have to understand. I don't want anyone hurting you. I want what's easiest for you and clearly being with another female isn't."

"Mom don't cry. I know it's not going to be hard, but it's people like you that make it harder. Try to understand for my sake."

"Imogen, I know that. It's not going to take me a night to take it all in. I'm sure I'll come around later, but I just want you to know I love you and I'll try to take this into consideration. Be safe."

"Aww mom. Stop! I've cried enough today. That's all I'm asking, just try to be there for me. Just think of it this way, you won't have to worry about smelly boys around me."

"Very funny. I'm just worried that someone is going to hurt your feelings."

"They probably will, but I'm a big girl. There are some losers in this world that want to bring you down and I'll have to understand that."

"Okay honey. Just like I said, be careful. I'll pick you up from school tomorrow and we can get some dinner and talk this over."

"Thanks mom. Love you and see you tomorrow."

"Night." Imogen's mom said, hanging up the phone.

Fiona walked back into the room with a Pepsi.

"Want one?"

"Sure. I need all the sugar I can get. I have to study for this test tomorrow!"

"Cram it all in there. You got this Imogen. You're the smartest person I know." Fiona handed Imogen her Pepsi.

"Thanks, I just need help. Want to help me with these flashcards?"

"Sure. How 'bout we make this more fun? Every answer you get right, gets you a kiss somewhere on your body."

Imogen looked up. She was into this idea, as long as it didn't go sexual.

"Fine, just keep it above the chest area."

"Haha. Deal." Fiona said, taking a seat next to Imogen, who now had all of her studying materials out.

Imogen gave Fiona her flashcards.

After about 50 questions, Fiona was pretty sure she was going to ace her test tomorrow.

All in all, she got three questions wrong and tons of kisses from her girlfriend.

It was now a little after midnight.

"That was fun. It's more fun when you add something like that in there." Imogen said, yawning.

"Aww you're tired. I am too."

"Yeah, I had a long day." Imogen said, packing her stuff in her bag.

"We all did. So I don't know where you want to sleep. There's the couch that pulls out or if you're interested..." Fiona paused.

"I'd rather sleep in the bed with you."

Fiona was glad Imogen said it before she did.

"I won't pull anything. I don't want to rush this, like you said." Fiona said.

"Well now all we have to do is brush our teeth since we have the pj's on already." Imogen laughed, getting her toothbrush and toothpaste out of her bag.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." she laughed.

Fiona let Imogen brush her teeth first.

"Much better." Fiona said after she had finished brushing her teeth as well.

Fiona made sure the locks on her door had been locked. She turned all the nights off and led herself and Imogen into her bedroom.

There was a dim light coming from the moon outside her window.

"Huge ass bed, huh?" Imogen said, climbing into it.

"Yeah, the bigger the better." Fiona laughed, realizing that joke she had just made.

"Eww gross." Imogen said.

"Actually, I don't know why I said that. Never had sex and I sure as hell wouldn't want something big inside of me."

Imogen shivered the obscene thought from her head.

"Goodnight doll face." Fiona said, curling up next to Imogen.

"Night babe."

The two had a long day ahead of them with testing and such.

Imogen would have her good luck charm on her mind the whole next day. It was the only sure way to get her through the day, but she was still pretty scared about the dinner she'd have with her mom afterwards.
