Anna rubbed her thumb against Meg's knuckles and felt her friend's breathing relax. She missed this. This closeness. Meg usually liked to be painfully girlfriendly to her, but not usually when she was sober. She knew it was nothing to read into, just Megs being Megs. Anna didn't want to do anything to damage this moment. She didn't know what brought it on, but she didn't want it to stop. She could feel Meg's back pressed lazily against her breasts making her heart feel floaty and light. Instinctively she kissed the hair line of the brunette and raised her free hand to the girls stomach. Unknowingly to herself, Anna lifted the bottom of her friends shirt slightly and ran a finger along the newly naked skin. Meg sighed as a shiver ran down her spine.
The brunette looked down at her friends finger caressing her, and flashed her winning eyes at Elsa. A satisfied smirk escaping her lips. The graceful loner lowered her gaze as if admitting defeat.
"So Elsa" Meg's heart dropped. What is she doing still talking to her? Anna never cares about anyone else when I'm around! Especially when we're … what are we doing? "How do you two know each other?" The ginger continued, looking over to the blonde .
Meg felt Anna's heart speed up, and could feel the girls finger press down slightly harder on her bare skin. She looked up at the girl to see her eyes practically glued to Elsa's. Is she... is this because of Elsa? Is she reacting to Elsa? …. Is she pretending I'm her?!
Listening to her two friends talking, giggling … connecting, Meg could feel her face morphing into a look of disgust. She didn't know how long she just lay there, not needed, unwanted. This was a new feeling for the popular girl, she felt lonely and detached. Only then did she realised just how much she needed Anna … her Anna.
"... isn't that right Megs?" Anna chuckled "Meg? Have you even been listening?" Full on laughing now, she looked down to her best friend and noticed how her hands were in incriminating places. Jumping back, face exploding in crimson she tried to move her arms into a different position without making it obvious to Elsa where they had been before.
"Babe, are you alright?" Eye's growing concerned at Meg moving herself to lean against the sofa instead her friend. The shocking coldness of their sudden separation became uncomfortable as soon as Meg moved away.
You should have been paying more attention to your hand, you moron. Look at her face, she's embarrassed for you. Disgusted! No wonder she was so quiet.
"Yeah, I'm just tired. You're so much work sometimes Anna, seriously! I can't believe I forgot that!"
"What?" Elsa blurted.
Both of the girls looked at her, Anna feeling ashamed, she wanted to stick up for her friend, but she was too hurt to say anything.
Of course she thinks you're annoying. Everyone thinks you're annoying.
"Oh come on guys, I was joking. You know I'm joking don't you Anna" Meg insisted, nudging her friend with her elbow, her face glowing red at her terrible attempt at comedy.
"Yeah" Anna replied, unconvincingly, forcing a fake laugh.
Meg realised she made a massive mistake. She sneaked a quick glance at Elsa, mistake number 2. Blushing feverishly, Elsa's face told her that she wasn't going to be forgiven soon. Why does she even care? Anna's my friend not hers. Meg couldn't help feeling that the ridiculous failed joke was going to cause her to lose points from Anna that Elsa would all too eagerly pick up. Before she could allow the thief to steal her friend, she stood up, grabbing her bag and demanded that they all leave the 'boring' café and go somewhere fun!
"Like where?" Responded a suddenly confident Elsa. "Oh, we could go to mine?" taking Anna's arm in her own, she started leading the group down the road to her flat, Meg falling slightly behind. Doing her best to get back in the good books, the brunette listed the movies she thought would be a hit.
"How about we watch 'Life of Pi', the animation is AMAZING!"
"OMG yes! I do love a good psychological, questioning, what-they-hell-is-happening movie" Anna chimed, the past comment forgotten.
Anna reached her hand back to grab Meg's own and dragged her over to be more in the group. Giving her the smile that genuinely appeared whenever Meg was looking her, she pulled her eyes away from the beauty to look at the other beauty on her other-side.
Man, I feel like a pimp. 'Walk into the club, like whadup I got a big...'
"Are you singing? Interrupting our important movie debate for … who was it? Macklemore?" Elsa poked the gingers nose. She slid her hand down the blushing girls arm and laced their fingers together. Anna's heart beating so loud she was sure the blonde could hear it. Her mouth went dry and her voice refusing to cooperate.
"Cat got your tongue, Ginger-nut?" Meg giggled nervously. Feeling like a third wheel, she unlocked her arm from Anna's. "We were saying, that 'Life of Pi' was way better then 'Black Swan'"
"Lies! 'Black Swan' is the best psychological thriller there is!" Elsa's enthusiasm radiated around her. Anna had never seen a person so excited and passionate before. The blonde's let go of her hand to throw her arms up in desperation. At this point Anna wasn't listening to why 'Black Swan' was better, she was just mesmerised by what was going on. Meg and Elsa were in a heated debate over lighting, special effects, emotional drama and everything in-between, their laughter and jabbs filled the street around them.
Joining in the laughter Anna interrupted the fight. "Sorry Megs, I'm gunna have to agree with Elsa. 'Black Swan' is one of top favourite movies!"
"Oh shut up you big fat lesbian" Meg replied sticking out her tongue. Glad the three of them were back to the friendly banter, she found herself wishing she said 'Black Swan' in stead of 'Life of Pi'. The brunette even knew Anna loved that film
You really did make a good match there Megs …. a bit too good.
