Lesbi-Dates End in a Kiss, After All

Alex got a large soda and deep fried Oreo's. "That stuff together is terrible for you." Sonny lectured Alex as she stuffed her mouth with another deep fried Oreo. "Alone, those things are pretty terrible too."

Alex shrugged. "My metabolism is amazing so I don't have to worry about that stuff." She wiped some of the powdered sugar off her mouth and cheek with her wrist.

"That's not the point." Sonny sighed. "You can be skinny and still be in terrible shape." She stated with her arms crossed.

"How come the food that's terrible for you is the best tasting?" Alex stated with her mouth filled with deep fried Oreos.

Sonny gasped. "Let's play the gold fish game!"

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?" Sonny nodded. "Fine."

After a few games around the carnival, they completely did every (non-ride related) activity there. It was the first time Sonny had fun with someone that knew she was gay.

There was only about twenty minutes left until the girls had to start their shifts. The crowd began to grow and the lines were much longer. It just seemed like their time together ended at such a perfect time.

"So how'd you like your first day at a New York Carnival?"

"A lot better than any Wisconsin Town Fair, I assure you. I was totally relieved that they didn't have a Town's Most Prized Pig competition." They both chuckled.

"So, we have to get to our booths in a bit." She said as she kicked the dirt underneath her shoes.

"Yeah…"

The two girls awkwardly stood face to face and averted each other's gaze when ever their eyes locked.

"And we'll totally ride safer rides next time."

Sonny turned red and agreed. "Sorry about that."

Alex shrugged. "It's totally fine. I just didn't want you to get puke all over your uniform right before you had to be in for work."

Sonny bit her lower lip. "Thanks. Well, we should start setting up for our shift."

Sonny went to step back but Alex quickly stopped her. "Wait." She looked all around her and pulled Sonny closer. "Here, I swiped this from another game stand." She handed her a small pink bunny that had a red collar around its neck.

Sonny squealed and wrapped her arms around Alex's neck. "Thank you so much! It's so cute!" She pouted. "But I didn't get you anything."

"That's fine. Just win me something next time." Alex winked and ran to her booth, afraid to be late another day.

Sonny bit her lip and walked back to her dart booth with her prize squeezed between her arms and chest.

The day seemed to drag on, but being only a few booths apart made the day so much better. The carnival was not as crowded as the other day so there was barely anything to do.

Alex held up a poster board and directed it towards Sonny. LAME. Sonny nodded as she played with another balloon. Alex's eyes widened when she saw Dean walk away from his crew and towards Sonny. She held up the sign again and frantically pointed in Dean's direction. When Sonny saw what Alex was referring to, she laughed as Dean finally reached her booth.

"What's so funny, Sonny?" he let out a slight chuckle when he noticed it rhymed.

She smiled towards Alex who was pretending to gag and replied. "Nothing. Just random thoughts."

"Since you got to hang out with Alex today, why don't we hang out tomorrow before you gotta go in for work?"

"I'm busy tomorrow, actually. All day." She lied.

"I think you're just dickin' me around here." Sonny gave him a questioning look. "I think you just don't wanna get with me 'cause you and Alex are all buddy buddy now."

What can't he understand? No means no. Just friends mean just friends. "I can't date someone my friend has dated." She said, almost robotically. I can't believe she dated this jerk…

"That's cool, but ya missin' out." Dean stormed off to meet up with his crew.

When Dean was out of sight, Sonny looked up at Alex and wiped her forehead with a large smile. Alex gave her an over exaggerated thumbs up and laughed. Sonny put her finger up and motioned to her cell phone.

Break at 7:30?

Alex nodded with a huge smile.

Alex ran over to Sonny's booth with one pretzel in each hand. "I thought you might be hungry." Sonny nodded and gave her a quick hug. "So what was that whole thing with Dean?"

"He finally realized that I didn't want him."

"You told him you were gay?"

Sonny shook her head rapidly. "That's not something I tell too many people. I'm sort of starting off here new. I don't want any problems like I did back in Wisconsin."

Alex grew more curious about her past. "What happened in Wisconsin?" she paused. "If you don't mind me asking…"

"Well, during a game of Never Have I Ever, I was the only one who drank when they asked if anyone kissed someone of the same sex. My friends weren't too comfortable hanging out with me for the rest of the party." Alex had a look of disgust on her face. "They made one girl pull me aside and ask me to leave the slumber party… and the girl I kissed got to stay because she didn't want to admit it."

"That's such bull shit." She exclaimed. "That's such a dick move. Did you ever fuck her?"

Sonny shook her head. "We just kissed from time to time. It just made me angry that I kept her secret and she totally fed me to the dogs when everyone else was against me."

Alex was completely fuming. "I wish I was there so I could've fucked all of them up." Sonny had a slight smile. She knew Alex was a fighter and she would have definitely stood up for her. "I mean, when the world's against you, it makes life easier when you have one friend."

"Well, I have you now." Alex smiled with Sonny. "I don't have to worry about those bitches anymore." She said as they made their way to the same place they hung out yesterday.

Alex saw a couple heavily making out in one of the cars in the parking lot and motioned Sonny to look as well. "I wish I had a car."

"I miss mine."

"You had a car? What kind?"

"Um… a blue one." Sonny answered honestly. She had no idea what kind of car she was driving for the whole four months she had it. She just knew it was blue and had two doors instead of four.

Alex laughed. "A blue one… That was great. Why did you get rid of your car?"

"Well, we found out we had to move last minute so I decided to sell it so we can move into the awesome building I'm living in now."

Alex tried to lighten the mood when she realized how upset Sonny grew when she brought up the car. "Well no one drives in New York anyway. There's too much traffic." They both laughed at the statement.

"So, when did you know you were gay?" Alex asked, taking another bite of her pretzel.

Sonny just finished swallowing. "I guess when I saw Christina Applegate in Married with Children." She gushed. "She looked so hot in a leather jacket." Alex snapped out of her day dream, remembering the late 80's, early 90's sitcom.

"And you didn't tell anyone 'til high school?" Sonny nodded. "That's a long time to keep something like that in."

"I wanted to tell the world and for them to be okay with it, but I couldn't have both."

"You shouldn't think that the world is worthy of knowing who you are." Sonny felt her heart skip a beat and then felt like she ran ten miles. She never thought that someone was able to take her breath away by just words but it actually happened. She wasn't sure how much time passed between then and now, but she knew she had to say something. Anything. Alex cleared her throat. "Sorry about Dean. He's a total ass."

"It's okay." She answered in a low voice.

The carnival was clearing out which ended another day at Ted's Carnival. Sonny was finished clearing up her booth and ran over to Alex's. "Hey."

Alex did her finishing touches before closing down. "Hey, Dart Girl. You ready to go home?" Sonny nodded.

"I brought Johnphin too."

"Who?"

Sonny pulled out her pink rabbit. "Johnphin. From the movie Everything is Illuminated, some of the characters couldn't pronounce Jonathan so they would say Johnphin."

"That's cute." Alex smiled as she flung her apron over her shoulder.

"I'll try to win you something tomorrow. I'm not very good at games or sports, but I'll get you something!"

Alex laughed. "You don't have to, seriously." She said as they left Ted's Carnival.

"Fine, but I'm going to."

Alex looked around the parking lot. "I know I'm kind of late on this but to make it an official lesbi-date, we have to kiss." Sonny's eyes grew wide and she began to stammer. "It's the rules." Sonny was still quite speechless. Before any thought was able to register through her mind, Alex leaned in and gently pressed her lips on the corner of Sonny's. Sonny was the last to open her eyes. Wow. She mouthed. Alex was able to breathe again. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah. Tomorrow." Sonny touched her lips where Alex's once were and squealed when she was a safe distance away.
