Next Day
The two love birds met on the boat mid afternoon the next, knowing they had to talk about what they had been dreading; they're separation. Walking onto the boat, over to where her girlfriend was meeting her, Alex looked up at the sky and took a deep breathe before sitting down on the towel next to Marissa.
"Hey you." Marissa looked over from the magazine she was reading.
"Hey beautiful. I guess we should talk?"
Marissa nodded and got up. "First we take this out there then we talk." She started the boat and drove to the middle of the lake before turning it off.
"Okay go for it." She stated as she laid back down on her towel.
"After last night I realised I couldn't be away from you."
Marissa nodded. "I know the same thoughts went through my head last night."
"Well I did something last night that I have to tell you." Alex paused.
"You did what? And I did something last night that I need to tell you."
Alex thought for a second. "How about on the count of three we both just say it."
"Okay, 1."
"2." The blonde continued.
"3." Both girls took a deep breathe. "I'm going to UCLA with you." Alex let you at the same time as Marissa let you. "I'm going to Penn State with you." They stared blankly at each other. "Wait? What!?" They said in unison.
"If you're going to Penn State for me and I'm going to UCLA for you…"
"…then we're still not going to the same school." The girls stayed quiet and looked out at the water.
"We can still change right?" Alex asked.
Marissa shook her head. "I'm pretty sure the deadline was last night or this morning." Again silence consumed them. "I love you and I can't believe you'd do that for me even if it didn't work." Marissa whispered.
"I'd do anything for you, but I guess we should really talk about that kind of thing more." Alex stood up and put her hand out helping her girlfriend up. "Dance with me?"
"You don't dance."
"I do with you." She smiled causing the other girl to wrap her arms around her neck holding her close and resting her head on the on the slightly shorter girls shoulder.
Alex leaned her head down a little and whispered in Marissa's ear. "I love you too."
