Victoria senses exactly what it was she wanted. And the best part was that she wanted it too. She leans in, kissing Joy against her lips, and then pauses, looking deep into her eyes.

'I love that sparkle you have. You seem really happy since you've been with me…like you've always wanted me or something.'

Joy blushes, a deep crimson red.'I've wanted you a long time Victoria Chase. And now, I finally have you.'

Victoria grasps Joy's hands, and squeezes them gently. Since coming out to her, she felt freer, she felt more herself. It was the best she had felt since childhood, since the time she first laid eyes on that girl she was with, her best playmate…her only playmate.

Victoria seldom had any friends as a child. Kids teased her because of her lanky figure; she was tall for her age, towered over most of her peers. She was seen by them as a snob, stuck up, self-centered, every single name in the book. But there was one girl who didn't do that at all.

Lisa.

She was Victoria's only best friend, her closest confidant. She stuck up for Victoria when there were people taunting and teasing her because of her height. Lisa had dark hair, delicate features. Victoria recalled her first day in school, sitting behind Lisa, and not focusing on much else, except Lisa, the girl in front.

'Miss Chase, pay attention to the lesson!'

Her teacher glared at her, frustrated at Victoria's inability to pay attention to the book the class was reading…it was some classic book, a book Victoria barely paged through. Victoria rather preferred to read Cosmo, or Teen Beat, then to read something so dry. She couldn't even remember the title, that's how very little she paid attention to the book.

Sighing, Victoria looks down at the book, and turns a page, pretending to read the text in front of her, but snuck glances at the girl in front of her. Victoria was mesmerized by her, every time she spoke, her accent swept through Victoria's ears like music. She smiles dreamily, but then the bell rings, and the teacher dismisses the class. Victoria slips out of the classroom, without a word, and heads to the girls' bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, she runs her hands through the sink, and washes her face with the cool water.

'Victoria, is that you?'

A voice came from the front of the bathroom, and a tall fair-haired blonde walked in. It was Lisa's good friend Lillian. Lillian was as well off as Victoria, and her father owned a large corporation. It made enough for spending summers in London.

Victoria looks up, and dabs her face, still damp from the water she had just splashed on her face.

'Yes, I'll be out in a second,' Victoria says and Lillian smiles, closing the door. Victoria looks in the mirror.

Joy smiles at Victoria, gently grasping her hand, again stroking her hand with her thumb and index finger gently.

'Love,' Joy whispers, and throws her arms around Victoria's neck. Playfully she nibbles at Victoria's ear, and then moves her way towards the nape of her neck. She nips and sucks gently; breathing in the perfume Victoria had put on that very morning.
