Alex
Watching her laugh, seeing her gorgeous smile lighting up the room, my heart. The best part about her smile right now is knowing that I created it. I made her laugh. Unbelievable how such a small thing can make me so happy. I feel fuzzy all over, I'm happy, content, sitting her on her bed laughing about the most random things. We haven't talked about the lip graze. Hasn't been mentioned. I was worried I'd freaked her out, but ever since then we've seemed to be getting closer. It's all been normal and we've been getting along great. I think she was just really tired. Really, really tired. She didn't know what was going on or she would have pulled away. I guess I'll just have to learn to live with this ache in my heart.
Marissa
She can really make me laugh, I'm so happy right now. I feel so comfortable, like I'm supposed to be sitting here with her, like this is THE reason for living. To be here, with her. This is so weird. She's a girl. So what? Who cares? It feels right, what else matters? But she's a girl. I'm straight. I'm not the kind of girl who does things like this. Forget about it, just forget about it. We had a weird thing a couple weeks ago, nothing happened. Nothing's going to happen. Just leave it be.
"Woah, I hadn't noticed the time, midnight. I should go." The words painfully left Alex's lips, she didn't want to leave her place or the happiness she found in Marissa's company.
"Aaww do you have to go? Stay! Go, on stay!" Playfully Marissa tried to tempt Alex to stay the night. No, no don't go. I need her to stay, I don't want her to leave me now. I'm so comfortable, so happy, so content. Please say yes. Please say yes.
Alex
Stay the night? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes a million times YES!!!!!! I want to talk to you some more, I want to be able to study your gorgeous features a while longer.
"Are you sure?" Alex asked, keeping her voice calm despite the excitement bubbling inside her.
"Of course! I don't want you to leave." Marissa surprised herself with the truthful words that came out of her mouth, and was surprised how easy they were to say and how right they sounded. "But you'll have to share my bed because there's nowhere else for you to sleep." Marissa's heart skipped a beat as she finished that last sentence. God I actually want her to sleep next to me, I want to feel her warmth right next to me, to be able to hold her. Bloody hell. Ignore it.
"No problem." Alex didn't know how she managed to make those two words sound so normal. Oh wow this gets better. Relax, don't do anything stupid like last time.
After changing into their PJs, Marissa climbed into her bed, followed closely by Alex. Immediately they wrapped their arms around each other and held one another in a tight embrace.
Hours ticked away with deep conversation and gentle laughing.
Alex
Wow this is so amazing lying here with her. It must be really late, like 4am. I think she's awake too, I saw her beautiful eyelid open for a moment. She's hugging me tighter, running her hands up and down my back. Does she know what she's doing to me? Wow.
Marissa
I want her closer. Dunno why. Just do. Closer. She's warm and smells nice. Whatever, I just want her closer.
Alex moved slightly to get her body nearer to Marissa, she could sense Marissa wanted her closer. Alex's head rested once again perfectly in line with Marissa's, their lips within touching distance. As Alex very slowly and carefully edged towards Marissa's lips, Marissa did not back off.
Alex
She's not backing off again, I'm going for it this time. I can just say I was tired if it doesn't work out.
As Alex's lips delicately touched Marissa's, Marissa thought for a moment, Oh her lips. Her lips. I like it. Kiss her. Kiss her. Go on. Her smell, her smile, her lips…
As their lips crashed together, both girls were elated to a place neither thought they'd ever be.
Alex
Oh my god! She's kissing me!!!!! WOW!!
Marissa
Mmmm this feels so good, unbelievable.
Both girls enjoyed the moment. Marissa shifted her weight so that her leg was between Alex's. Not needing further invitation, Alex began to grind against Marissa's leg. All the while not quite believing what was happening.
After some time both girls stopped and tiredness took over their minds. Alex's filled with disbelief, Marissa's filled with confusion and awe.
Early morning light streamed in through the curtains. Alex awoke feeling slightly dazed, fitting the pieces together of what happened the night before. Was it a dream? Did that really happen? I hope it wasn't a dream, I HAVE to say something!
On seeing Marissa sweetly open her beautiful brown eyes, Alex took her chance,
"Do we need to talk?"
