The Rooftop
Ice Breaker
Sasha and Anne sat on the roof of Anne's parents' house, talking of the past that seemed so long ago.
I was the biggest asshole. So, controlling, so know it all, such a … – said Sasha, reflecting on those years.
Come on Sash, we moved past that. We all were less than perfect. – responded Anne
Still, I was the farthest. I mean pressuring you to not attend your own birthday party and to steal from an antique shop, forcing you to fucking give up your second family … yeesh.
Yeah, okay those was pretty bad. Wanted to say it earlier, but your jacket is amazing.
Thanks Anne. But it's getting hot here. Forgot how scorching Cali can be. – said Sasha and took off her jacket. Anne's eye inadvertedly were glued to her toned arms. And breasts too. Sasha noticed it but acted oblivious to it.
Been hitting the gym for a while now. Sometimes its shit to get through, but so worth it. – said she, patting her biceps, showing that satisfied smile Anne knew all too well.
Yeah… what you said. – replied Anne half paying attention, as the other half was focused on her chest.
Like my top? It was a bargain. Can't believe I caught it.
Uh huh. – said Anne, to which Sasha gave a knowing look.
Maybe we could hi- - Sasha was going to say, but Anne kissed her on the mouth. For a moment Sasha was stunned but then slid into the moment and kissed her back. It lasted for a few seconds then both slowly withdrew. They sat silently for some time, both periodically looking at each other with a mix of wonder and uncertainty.
So that was…- started Sasha…
Incredible… - finished Anne.
Yeah… it was! – said Sasha, looking at Anne with pure joy.
You… you remember our "attempt" at a relationship, back in high school? – asked Anne, feeling an instant wave of nostalgia hitting her.
Oh god, that was a grade a shitshow. -said Sasha cringing while laughing at the memory of her and Anne.
Yeah… didn't think that I would ever feel something for you…
But then we met again.
And I felt it again. Beneath my pure joy of seeing you two again, I felt something else.
Not sure about Mar-Mar, but when I saw you, I felt it again like you.
Do you think she... has it? Maybe for both of us?
I honestly don't have a clue.
Should we feel… I dunno, bad? Maybe she does feel that way.
You think we're bad cause we kissed, and we might have ruined her possible polyamorous dream?
No, not bad. It's just feels weird. It's always awkward when two get together in a trio.
Anne, we're delving too much into a maybe. We don't know even know that's how she feels for certain. -said Sasha and with a subtle motion, she put her hand on Anne's.
I like her, just like you. But if I think about pretending there's nothing here…
You'd feel we're making a mistake?
Yes. She's an adult now. If she does feel that… she'll understand.
I hope you're right – said Anne and put her other hand in Sasha's.
They both looked at each other, meaningfully. Sasha broke the stalemate and kissed Anne on her cheek. As she withdrew, she clutched Anne's hand with her own and held it. Her eyes met Anne's.
You're the most beautiful person I have ever known. - Said Sasha, to which Anne blushed.
I wanted to say that! Now how could I express the same Sash?
You don't have to use words all the time Anne. – said Sasha, intently looking at Anne.
I know. -said Anne smiling and kissed her on the lips. There was no rushing of lust here. They kissed long, lovingly, holding each other, both feeling a happiness they longed for .
For a moment, a face appeared in the attic entrance they came through. As it witnessed the scene, it had an indescribable expression on it. It wanted to say something but chose not to, and then slinked down the hole slowly…
