Chapter 11
Pete cocked an eyebrow as the two girls climbed into his truck. He couldn't help but notice that they were both smiling uncontrollably. The ride to school was especially awkward for him, neither girl made any attempt to talk to him. Upon arrival, Helena simply jumped out of the truck and waited for Myka to do the same. 'Why is Mykes acting so weird?' Pete was getting bothered by his friends new antics. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Myka say something to Helena then bend down and kiss her on the cheek. 'What the hell?' Pete was shocked, 'It's...it's probably just a girl thing. Right?'. When the brunette he had been watching turned to him as the older girl walked away, he turned his head quickly and played with his keys. Myka stood in font of him.
"Hey Pete, thanks for the ride. We really appreciate it." Myka's voice sounds hesitant. Pete could tell this is what she really wanted to say. He breathed deeply.
"No problem, you know I don't mind." He forced a half smile onto his features. Now it was Myka's turn to look down.
"Pete...I gotta tell you something." Her best friend waited silently as she gained courage. "Helena and I, we aren't ummm well we're not exactly...just friends" Myka winced slightly at the confession. Of course Pete was her friend, her brother even, but it was still a hard thing to say. Myka met the boys eyes in front of her. "She's kind of m-my girlfriend." Pete just stared at her. After a few minutes passed his eyebrows rose and he took a deep breath.
"Well I definitely did not see that coming." He saw that Myka didn't smile and he grabbed her hand. "Myke's, I'm happy for you."
A smile spread across the girls face, "Really?" Her nerves calmed down and she was able to look him in the eye again.
He laughed heartily, "Of course Mykes! I mean I'm surprised, I didn't think you were gay, but I'm fine with it. You are obviously happy, and damn you've got great taste. I'm not gonna stand in the way of that." Myka flung herself into his arms. Why was she even nervous, Pete had loved her since the day they met and nothing was going to change that. "But I do want to know how long you've been gay."
"I never thought I was." Pete furrowed his brow but waited for Myka to finish. "I mean I never actually thought about it but I always assumed I was straight."
"What changed?"
Myka smiled and rubbed her neck, "I met Helena." The dorky smile grew, earning a soft punch from Pete.
"Cheesy!"
"Shut up I know it is!" The two laughed and shoved each other. Pete wrapped his arm around the brunette and they walked towards the school.
"Am I the first to know?" Pete whispered.
"Well you're the fist to know we're dating." Pete could hear the 'but' in her voice. "But Claudia caught us kissing at the movie night." Myka thought the boys eyes were going to pop out of his head.
"You guys were making out at movie night?!"
A punch to his arm, "We weren't making out! Just kissing a little."
"Little my ass! I bet you two had each others tongues down your throats!"
"Ugh Pete you're nasty." Myka giggled an shoved him away as he walked through the front doors. She found Helena leaning against her locker.
"Yeah whatever, go get your girl." Myka smiled then rushed to her girlfriends side. 'My girlfriend. God, I love that." She grasped the raven-haired girls hand and squeezed it tightly. Helena kissed Myka on the cheek and giggled under her breath.
"I missed you" Helena purred into Myka's ear. A shiver ran down the younger girls spine.
"I was away from you for five minutes." Myka whispered back although she didn't mind her girlfriends antics.
"Too long, darling." Helena nibbled on her girlfriends ear, earning another shiver from Myka. Pete pulled them back to reality.
"Hey hey hey, that's enough lovebirds. Save it for later." Helena glared at Pete and defiantly pressed a kiss to Myka's hair. The brunette noticed some students walking towards them and took a step away from her girlfriend. Helena pulled her brows together questioningly but Pete directed the attention away from Myka's peculiar actions unknowingly. The three stood talking and were joined by the two others of their group as they waited for school to start. Pete was the first to tell Claudia and Steve about the girls and they cheered excitedly. Claudia looked relieved that she didn't have to bare a burden anymore, and Steve joked that he was happy he wasn't the only gay one in the group. Helena was very aware of the distance that Myka was keeping with her. On multiple occasions she tried to make eye contact with her girlfriend but the brunette never looked her way. Her worries were interrupted as the bell rang and the group dispersed to their classes. Helena was eager to talk to Myka alone. 'Thank goodness our first period is together' she silently thanked her lucky stars.
"Myka, darling, is something wrong?" The black-haired girl asked as Myka quickly drew her hand away from Helena's attempts to hold it.
"Uhh no. Nothing's wrong." She smiled unconvincingly. Helena grew anxious.
"Did I do something?" She couldn't think of anything but the way Myka was acting made her second guess herself.
"What? No! No no. Oh god, I'm sorry Helena. I just..." Myka looked down at her feet unable to finish her sentence. Helena could see that whatever she had to say was hard for her.
"Hey, you can talk to me." She tucked a strand of curly hair behind the other girls ear. Myka kept silent. With a heavy sigh the Brit spoke again, "Wait here." She walked into their classroom. Myka stood in the hallway wondering what her girlfriend was doing. 'She's probably ditching you. Stupid stupid stupid, Myka, why are you being so stupid!' The brunette kicked herself silently as she waited. A few minutes passed and Helena reappeared from the classroom.
"Come on." Was all she said and grabbed her girlfriends hand and pulled her away from their class.
"What are you doing? We're gonna miss class." Myka asked thoroughly confused. Helena didn't answer, she just kept pulling Myka through the hallways. She finally had enough, "Helena, what the hell are you doing?"
"I'm taking you somewhere we can talk."
"What about class?"
"Mr. Nielson dismissed us." Myka's eyes nearly popped out of her head. Artie never let people skip class. What did Helena say to him?
"He what?"
"I told him I had some girl problems and needed you and he dismissed us. He told me to come back as soon as possible." Now the brunette was impressed, no one could persuade Mr. Nielson like that.
"Okay, then where are we going?"
Myka was left without an answer. She realized Helena wasn't going to talk until they reached her destination. The silence was short lived, though, as they came up to the library. Myka smiled slightly. This was her second home, the only place she could escape. Here she felt the most comfortable, completely in her element. Helena dragged her to a back corner and abruptly turned to face her.
"Now, what were you going to tell me earlier?" Her dark eyes searched desperately. 'So that's what this was about.' Myka thought as she looked down again. She felt a slender finger slip under her chin and pull up. "Myka talk to me. Please." The plea was heartbreaking and the brunette shivered. With a deep sigh Myka gave in.
"I'm just...I'm not ready for everyone to know yet."
"It's nothing to be ashamed of Myka."
"I'm not ashamed. I-I'm scared."
Helena grabbed her girlfriends hands and squeezed them, "What is there to be scared of?"
"My parents... My father. It's hard enough trying to please him now. He'd never accept this, he'd never accept us." Myka's eyes slowly began to water. "I'm scared of disappointing him." Helena could see how badly the brunette was hurting. She pulled her into a deep hug.
"Darling, don't be afraid." She paused to kiss the younger girls cheek, "I am not going to rush you into anything. Take as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere." Myka pulled away from the embrace and looked into Helena's dark eyes. She was suddenly so aware of how honesty-drenched the older girls words were. Myka wrapped her arms around Helena's neck and bent down, taking her girlfriends lips with her own. The older girl was caught off guard by the intensity of the kiss but matched it effortlessly. Everything around them drained away as the kiss deepened. Helena pushed Myka against a bookshelf and felt her lips smile against her own. She was intoxicated by Myka's kiss and couldn't get enough. Her arms wrapped around the brunettes waist and pulled her closer. She felt Myka's hands tangle into her hair as she kissed down her throat and tasted the soft skin. Helena smiled when Myka let out a small moan. She found her pulse point and bit down lightly. Another moan came from the younger girl, this time louder.
"Quiet, darling, or we should be found out." Helena breathed against the bite mark she had left. She smiled at her work, 'That bruise should stay for a while.' Myka nodded dumbly. Helena traveled down further still, kissing and nipping at the brunettes collar bone. She dropped her hands away from her girlfriends hair and braced them against the bookshelf behind her. The fee of book spines snapped her back to focus. She was in the library. Making out with Helena. 'Holy shit!' She screamed to herself. She pushed the older girl back lightly and faced her now disappointed girlfriend.
"We should get back to class." Helena sighed, she knew Myka was right but she wasn't wanting to stop. She felt Myka's hand grab her own. With a squeeze the brunette spoke again. "We'll continue this later. I promise." A wicked grin spread across her face and Helena laughed evilly.
"I shall hold you to that promise Myka Bering." Helena's infamous smirk flashed at the brunette before the two walked back to their classroom. The trek was silent with each girl deep in thought about what the future would hold for them.
