Everywhere: The date and the kiss
Namine searched frantically for her key. Searching in her pockets, her purse, and under the door.
"No, this can't be happening, mom and dad will be here any minute and Annie isn't here, I can't believe this, how am I supposed to get back in the house?" Namine thought. She knew her parents would be home any minute now and she had locked herself out of the house. She thought is her sister home. She knocked on the door hoping her older sister Paine would hear her. She heard somebody running down the stairs. Her sister opened the door.
" Namiee, what are you doing home so late? " Do any idea what time it is, if mom and dad found out..."
"Look I was out...with Kairi..."
"Ooh... you were out with a girl Namiee..."
"Shut up it wasn't like that at least I'm not like you..."
"Namiee... just get in the house." as Namine ran into the house and sat on the couch. While Paine was in the kitchen.
"So what did you girls do?"
"We went to the movies... oh I wish I could do more with her..."
"Like what?" Paine asked surprised.
"No... It's not what you think... like going out to dinner...as friends of course..."
"Face it Namiee you want to be more than friends..."
"What as in best friends?"
"No silly, as a girlfriend."
"Come on Paine, I like Kairi as a friend..."
" Mmhmm you want her as your girlfriend, aww... little Namiee has a crush..." She said teasing her around the parlor.
" Stop it...maybe I do maybe I don't."
" Come on just make your move or someone else will."
" What do you mean?"
" Well she's probably gorgeous and has no problem attracting people."
" Hmph okay I will I'll ask her by this week, I'll see ya later Paine I'm going to bed."
" Okay night Namiee."
Namine walked up to her room thinking this cannot possibly happen, being a lesbian in her household was practically a sin. After she saw her sister be ostracized from the whole family due to her sexual preference. She could not hide herself anymore. She thought to herself.
" I don't want to end up like Paine, but I can't hide myself anymore... " Namine thought of ways to tell her parents. She could tell them privately or have them find out. Namine had to tell someone besides Paine.
" Okay tomorrow I'll call Yuffie, ask her to go to the park with me...and I'll tell her there...should I tell Kairi or Roxas?"
Namine fell asleep trying to plan all of this at once. Namine had a strange dream that night. The dream was about everyone finding out she was a lesbian and Kairi and Yuffie hated her for it. As Namine woke up in a cold sweat. She fell back asleep and woke up at 10:00 am to call Yuffie.
" Hello Yuffie?"
" Yep watcha need Namiee..."
" Can you meet me in the park at noon today?"
" Of course Namiee is there something you need?"
" Yes and can you meet me in the park?"
" Yup I'll talk to you later."
Namine took a shower, got dressed and ate breakfast to see her parents downstairs talking. They stopped when Namine walked into the room.
" Namiee... we need to talk to you..." Her mother said nervously.
" Sure mom what do you need?" Namine looked oddly.
" Namieee... I'm... pregnant..."
" What?" Namine looked shocked and angry.
" Haven't you people heard of birth control?" Namine ran out the door and to the park where she saw Yuffie sitting on a park bench near the desolate exit of the park. Yuffie looked up to see Namine right there.
" Hey Namiee... what did you need to tell me?"
" Well for starters my mom is pregnant."
" Well congratulations..."
" No, well I don't know what to think."
" Anything else."
" Yes Yuffie... I'm a lesbian."
There was a silent moment for about five minutes then Yuffie finally broke the silence.
" Okay, Namiee..."
" I was afraid to tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't be my friend because of my sexual preference.."
" Namiee I wouldn't stop being your friend because of that, a real friend wouldn't abandon their friend like that... I can accept you for who you are...no need to hide who you truly are..."
" Thanks Yuffie."
She hugged her.
" So what do you want to do?"
" Hmm... let's go shopping."
The girls took Namine's car all the way out to Twilight Town Mall, where they could visibly see it was packed, so they just found a parking space across the street from the mall. As they first traveled to the first store; " Nordstrom". As they laughed and had fun Namine realized that it was 6:00 pm, but she didn't care, she did not want to go home to her parents, but she had to.
" Yuffie, I have to leave otherwise my parents will be so worried."
" Okay, can you drive me home?"
" Sure why not?"
As Namine drove Yuffie home and drove back home where she was just in time for dinner. She saw all of her family sitting there at the table. While they were eating.
" So... what should we name the child..." Her mother questioned.
" How about nothing, after all it seems like you people have never heard of birth control, and with that big of an age gap..." Paine said, but her sentence was cut off.
" Shut up Paine..." said their father.
" No... I'm sick of being isolated from this family..." Paine said, Namine could see she looked as if she was going to cry.
" You don't understand we just don't like the new you... what happened to the sweet little girl who was always liking some boy..."
" Well she's dead and never coming back so get used to it..."
" That's it get out of my house, I never want to see such an impure soul in this house, get your stuff and beat it bitch!" Their father said.
For the first time Namine saw Paine's eyes well up in tears. Paine ran out the door, that night Namine did not hear anything from her that night as she sent a text message to her, she said she was in a better place. Namine got extremely worried that night. She leaped out of her bed, slipped on some sweatpants, and quietly slipped out of the house. She ran into what she thought was a girl she accidentally bumped into them.
" Oh I'm so sorry..."
" Don't worry I could see you are in a rush..."
" Yes I am... well I have to go..."
As Namine ran off looking up and down the street for Paine, but couldn't help to think of who she ran into, he was a cute guy, of course not in a girly way and happened to be wearing a black cloak she speculated that it was Riku, she quickly ran to the door of Rikku's house and knocked on the door.
" Yes may I help you?" Rikku said in a bouncy voice.
" Hey Rikku, have you seen Paine..."
" Why do you ask?"
" That's because... tonight... I think she ran away.."
" That's terrible! The girl said frantically " Have any idea where she maybe..."
" No that's what I'm trying to find out..."
" Well Namiee you should search tomorrow it's almost midnight."
" Fine I'll search tomorrow..."
Namine slipped back into the house through the open window, she had to use a ladder to get to the window. When she got inside she saw her bed made which was odd and a small box, when she opened the box she saw a necklace with a star on it there was a little note attached to it.
" Thanks for everything you have done, I wish that you were everywhere, with me, I miss you and I hope I get to see you more and more, my feelings grow stronger for you everyday and I miss you... - Anonymous "
Aww... how sweet..." Namine said, " She likes me, she really likes me." Namine decided that morning while she was getting ready for school she would ask Kairi on a date. At school Kairi was at her locker getting her books. Namine tapped her on the shoulder
" Namine..." She said blushing, " Hi, what do you need..."
" Well I was wondering would you like to go on a date..."
" As friends..." she asked.
" Of course... just as friends...how about tonight?"
" Sure, Namine, can you meet me at my house?"
" Okay..."
For the rest of the day Namine was in practically a dream state except when Paine went missing; she wasn't even there at school, she was a bit worried, but Rikku reassured her that she was okay. The same day Namine went home and decided what to wear.
" Remember Namine, casual but nice..." She thought. As she picked out a white Hollister button up shirt and a black skort with a pair of black vans with pink roses. Then she had to comb out her hair, after that, she put on some pink lip-gloss and pink eye shadow.
" I look great." She thought. As she sped off in her Volkswagen to Kairi's house. As she knocked on the door a woman answered it, the woman was Yuna.
" Oh hello you must be Namine, the girl Kairi can't stop talking about..."
" Yuna..." Kairi said " Can you come and help me."
" Okay one minute, come in make yourself right at home."
As Namine sat down on the couch where she saw Kairi's mother and father.
" Hello." Her mother said.
" Hi... im..."
" Namine, oh we have heard so much about you..."
" You have?"
" Oh course, Kairi says that you helped her alot I see you are wearing a pretty necklace..."
" Thank you..."
She was wearing a star necklace that " mysterious" person had given her. Kairi came downstairs in a medium length black dress.
" Okay Namine, are you ready to go?" She too had worn a necklace similar to Namine's.
" Yes let's get going."
As they drove out to the theater where they went to go see the movie " Lake house" In the middle of the movie Kairi was holding Namine's hand, when Namine noticed what was going on she tried to pull away but thought,
" No I'm not ruining this moment." When the movie was over they went back to Kairi's house.
" I had a great time..." Kairi said holding Namine's hand.
" I did too..." As Namine turned away to walk back to her car. Kairi turned her around.
" Yes, what is it that you need..."
In that moment Kairi kissed her, this lasted for about a minute.
" I love you Namine, and I never want to let you go..."
" I don't either..." As they persisted on kissing, but no one could see that Yuna was watching out of the window.
