After staying up all night reading, and deciding how to aproach the subjectof telling her mother she was gay, Marti decided to tackle the topic casually over coffee.
When Marti's mom saw her sitting at an empty table, She sat down infront of her.
"Hey honey, what did you want to talk about?" Her mom smiled warmly. "Uhm.. well... Remember when you asked if I was lesbian yesterday, mom? Uhyeah'bout that.." Marti flushed nervously.
"Oh don't worry, Marti. I knew all along." Her mom chuckled. "But...howdidyou..." Marti stuttered.
"Darlin' do you think I don't see the way you look at Savannah? I'm not as obvlivious as you think I am." She tapped her head.
"Well, that's one less speech I need to give..." Marti chuckled, sipping her coffee.
"Hey, Marti. How did it go?" Savannah asked as Marti walked in. Savannah was lying on her bed, listening to music on her laptop.
"Pretty good." Marti smiled, dropping her bag on the ground. "She already suspected 'us'." Marti air quoted.
"Really?" Savannah looked at Marti, confused. "Mhm. She's not as much of an airhead as we thought." Marti rolled her eyes.
"So," Savannah pulled Marti onto her bed. "What are we gonna do now?" She wondered aloud.
"Dunno." Marti shrugged. "Cuddle?" Marti suggested.
"I didn't know you were into cuddling, Ms. sarcastic." Savannah tried to say flatly, but it sounded more like bad humor.
"Well, I won't if you continue to be mean to me." Marti mustered all the cuteness she could into a pout.
Savannah pretended to be mad at Marti. "Fine. I'm sorry." Savannah gave in. Marti cuddled into Savannah's chest.
"I love you. Did you know that?" Marti murmured.
"Well, now I do. I love you too, Marti." Savannah sighed.
"...so soft... and squishy..." Marti drooled. "MARTI!" Savannah giggled. Savannah brushed her fingers through Marti's blonde, curly hair. "Is that all you have to say?" She questioned.
Marti lifted up her head and put her hands up. "Guilty!" Marti chuckled, burrowing her face back into Savannah's chest.
"Your lucky I love you, Marti." Savannah stuck out her tongue.
She lifted up her head once again. "Or what, Ms. Monroe?" Marti challenged. "Er.. uhm... You got me this time, Perkins! But next time I SHALL WIN." Savannah said dramically.
Marti stuck out her tongue at Savannah. "Maybe you will win next time." Marti giggled, kissing Savannah lovingly on the lips.
"Hey Honey bunny." Marti started. "Can I stay in your arms forever?" Marti sighed dreamily.
Savannah snuggled into Marti more. "Of course. As long as forever may be."
