Taking my breath with each delicate step in my heart.
- All over me, Lindsey Harper
The end credits roll on Loving Annabelle; a movie Emily insisted they had to watch. A heart wrenching lesbian love story about a romance between a teacher and student in an all girls school. It was beautiful really. Katie, who had been curled into Effy's side during the movie realises the brunette is very still and her breathing it quite shallow. She looks up to see Effy silently sobbing, big tears glistening as they fall down her cheeks carrying her dark eye liner with them. She's shocked to say the least.
"Are you crying?" She asks with a smile because, well, her girlfriend looks ridiculously cute quietly crying at the end of a soppy film. It's a side of Effy she's never seen before.
"No." She bites even though it's blatantly obvious she's lying. She's Effy Stonem. She doesn't cry. At least no one is supposed to see her crying. Especially not Katie.
"Yes you are." Katie chuckles at her adamant denial and wraps her arm around her secretly sensitive girlfriend.
"If you tell anyone I'll kill you." She swears nestling into Katie's neck. It feels nice having someone to comfort her.
"No you won't!" Katie laughs kissing the top of the other girl's head. "You love me too much."
Effy sits up to look in Katie's big brown eyes and smiles. "You're probably right." She agrees and plants a soft kiss on her girlfriend's lips.
"But I will maim you." She smirks and kisses her again.
