"Meow! Meow!" Imogen said as we walked along the sidewalk holding hands.
"Immy, stop it!" I laughed as I tried to get my girlfriend to calm down. Yes, we were official, and I couldn't be happier. Tonight we were going on our very first date. Something to celebrate our newfound relationship.
"Meow!" She said again and put her hands up by her face to act like a kitten. "Meow!" I could tell she was excited, but I was too. We were going out to dinner at Little Miss Steaks, and then we were headed back to my condo for some movies and one of our infamous sleep overs. I could tell it would already be a great night.
"Stop!" I said with a giggle. I loved how she was so playful. So there we were, walking our way to Little Miss Steaks. I was wearing my favorite dress. A very pastel pink casual mini, with my favorite black heels. Imogen was wearing a casual, yet very cute, pastel green dress with kitten whiskers, eyes, nose, and mouth on the bosom, accompanied with a pair of black ballet flats. That's why she was meowing. I thought it was cute though, and the dress matched her personality so well.
"Meow!" We were almost to Little Miss Steaks now, so I figured I'd just let her meow to her heart's content. "Hey Fions?" She asked as we approached the door.
"Yeah?" I asked pausing in front of the door.
"Can I give you a kitten kiss?" Imogen asked with a loving smile.
I laughed at her cuteness. "Of course." I nodded, and that's when she took me by surprise and rubbed her nose against mine like an Eskimo kiss. I couldn't help but to blush. She smelled so good, and he skin was so soft. She was so adorable I could hardly stand it.
"There." She said pulling away with a satisfactory grin on her face. I had to smile back, she was making me so happy.
"Shall we go?" I asked, gesturing to the Little Miss Steaks door.
"After you." Imogen said and we walked in together and got seated at a table rather quickly. We ate dinner in ample chit chat, it was nice to have each other around. I was so glad things weren't awkward because this was our first time hanging out as a couple. I was just happy that she was already adjusted to me being her girlfriend. Hopefully when we got back to school after the weekend, everything would still be okay.
There weren't really that many openly gay couples, or even people for that matter, in Degrassi. I didn't care what other people thought of me, but I knew Imogen had a bit of social anxiety in her. Maybe we would get teased, or called names, but I hoped that she would just adjust to being gay, and not care what other people thought of her. I really liked Imogen, maybe even loved, and I hoped that I would get to stay with her for a long time. After dinner, it was well after dark, so we took our time in getting back to the condo. We walked slowly, holding hands, just swaying our arms back and forth, just laughing and enjoying each other's company.
"You look really cute tonight." I said simply as we walked. I noticed a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Thanks Fions. You do too." Imogen replied and I smiled at her. This had to have been the best night of my life, well so far at least.
"Thank you." I said, and it was quiet again. But it wasn't an awkward silence, it was more of a comfortable silence. It was like we knew what each other were thinking. Finally, after some walking, we made it back to the condo. As we headed upstairs, Imogen never let go of my hand. Once we were in the condo, I kicked off my shoes.
"I'm gonna get changed into my pajamas." Imogen said and I nodded as she headed back into my bedroom. I figured I might as well get changed too, so I headed to the bathroom. Once I was finished, I waited patiently for Imogen. "So, what movie are we watching?" She asked as she came out of my bedroom wearing a cute silk nightgown. I wrinkled my nose.
"Do you really want to watch another boring movie?" I asked.
"Not really... What did you have in mind?" She asked as she plopped down on one of the sofas in my condo.
"Do you drink?" I asked curiously.
"On occasion..." Imogen replied.
"Then would you have some champagne with me?" I asked as I pulled her up. I watched her think about it for a moment, but then she nodded.
"Meet you in the bedroom!" She said with a laugh then headed back to my room. I laughed at her enthusiasm. I then headed to the kitchen to prepare our drinks. One glass would be enough for us. Once I had everything ready, I headed back to the bedroom too. Imogen was already snuggled up under the covers.
"Your champagne madam." I said as I gave her a wine glass.
"Thank you Miss." She replied and took a sip as I crawled into bed with her. It was quiet again, but I knew she had something on her mind. "Hey Fiona, can we talk?"
"Sure Immy, what's on your mind?" I replied as I faced her. She sat her wine glass down on the table then spoke.
"I was so nervous for tonight." Imogen admitted. "I was afraid I was gonna mess things up before they even got a chance to start." She said, and I knew where she was coming from.
"Okay." I said nodding.
"The truth is, I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know how I'm supposed to act, or feel, or what I'm supposed to do..." She rambled and I smiled.
"I've never been in one either." I said and Imogen smiled too.
"Really?"
"Yeah." I said with confidence. "So that means we can do this together, okay?" I said, grabbing her hands for reassurance. "I'll try to be the best girlfriend ever."
"Me too." Imogen answered, and I was glad we were on the same page and taking much-needed baby steps.
"Hey Immy?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Is it okay if I give you a goodnight kiss?" I asked and I could feel the blush creeping up on my cheeks. Imogen nodded.
"Sure Fiona." So I did what I said I was going to do and I pressed my lips to hers in a sweet, chaste kiss. Her lips tasted like the wine, crisp, and fruity, but I didn't mind. It was a good, goodnight kiss.
