AN: Hey guys! I thought you guys deserved another chapter because it took a lot longer for the last one (but I wouldn't get used to a new chapter everyday), so here you go. Sorry if it is a bit short; I didn't have too much to tell in this chapter. As always, reviews are welcome! Enjoy!

Chapter Five

"Hey, baby."

Jane turned to see the face of her beautiful girlfriend, Lily. Lily's light brown hair was curled and framing her face and her glasses were a bit low on her nose, showing off her gray-blue eyes.

"Hey, cutie." Jane responded, carefully pushing Lily's glasses up her nose and closer to her eyes.

Lily giggled. "So, are you excited for tonight?"
Today was their six month anniversary, and although it seemed juvenile to Jane, Lily had planned a special date for them.

"I sure am. I wish you would tell me where we are going, though."

"Jane, I know you don't like surprises, but I promise you'll love it!"
Jane couldn't even try to be mad at her adorable girlfriend. "Fine. But I'm not wearing a skirt."

"I wouldn't expect you to."

"Okay, you can look now."
"Wow, Lily, this all looks amazing!"
Lily blushed and looked at the sight before them. She had recreated the night where Jane had finally confessed her feelings to her. Jane had never had a girlfriend and didn't know how to go about getting one. She and Lily had met in their sophomore biology class. They became friends and Jane realized she had developed a crush on Lily. She thought she would never have a shot with Lily; that Lily was straight. That was until one particularly warm night in November when she was at Lily's house, eating a picnic in the middle of the backyard.

"Do you remember what you said to me that night?" Lily asked Jane.

"Well, if I recall, I was super nervous. I had decided to come out to you. I thought that at least you'd know I was gay if you wanted to be with me. We were sitting right here, under this tree. And I said 'Lily, I know we haven't known each other very long, but I already feel closer to you than I have to anyone, ever. You're the first person I'm saying this to, even though I've known for about a year and a half. I really hope this doesn't change anything between us, but I'm a lesbian.' And then you threw your arms around me and pulled me into the biggest hug. And you said 'Jane, it doesn't matter to me because I'm gay, too. And I've been struggling with how to tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't want to hang out with me anymore.' And I said 'I could never NOT want to hang out with you because I've had a crush on you since we met.' Then you kissed me on the cheek and curled into my arms and we spent the rest of the night cuddling under the stars."

"Are you ever going to tell anyone about us? About you?"

"Sweetie, I know your parents are very accepting of you and us, but I'm afraid my parents won't be."

"You won't know until you try."
"Lily, can we please drop this? I just want to spend the night with you."

"Fine, but you could at least tell your brothers."

"Lily, I said drop it! I've told all my friends and I'm open about it in school. It's not like I'm hiding you. You've met my family. So, please, just stop."

"Okay, I'm sorry. I just want you to feel as open with your parents as I am with mine."

"Babe, it's okay. You know I love you, anyway."

Lily gasped. "Jane, you just said 'I love you.'"

"Hmm…I guess I did. I love you, Lily."

Lily just stared at her blankly.

"Hey, Lily, you gonna say it back or did I just-"

Jane was cut off by Lily's lips on hers. They were so soft and inviting. Jane kissed back harder, feeling Lily's arms pull her in tighter. Jane and Lily opened their mouths simultaneously and their tongues began to brush against each other over and over. Lily's fingernails dug into Jane's back slightly, trying to pull her even closer and Jane couldn't help but moan. Jane quickly pulled back, embarrassed, her face turning bright red.

"I love you, too, Jane!" Lily gushed breathlessly.

"Best first kiss ever!" Jane whispered back.

Lily laughed. "I agree." she said, giving Jane a quick peck on the cheek.

Jane smiled at her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around her. She felt a tingling on her right wrist and turned her arm over to see yet another black letter: "U".

"I love you, Jane." Lily said, her eyes closed.

"I love you, too." Jane replied, still staring at the new letter on her arm.
