It turned out the pay-per-view didn't have either 'Kissing Jessica Stein' or 'Imagine You and Me' in its catalogue, so Bianca sat there with the remote control scrolling through the eighty odd movies to find something worth watching.

"Well I don't want to watch that." said Bianca, as the film 'Erica' came up as the number one new release.

"I forgot the DVD was coming out." said Marissa. They were sat side by side on the bed now.

"So what do you want to watch?" Bianca asked as she kept scrolling.

"Something fun… or funny." said Marissa.

"Hmm." said Bianca as she kept searching; it seemed to be mostly action movies.

"Do you think Maggie will be in the next film?" Marissa asked, her mind still on the Erica film franchise. "Isn't it supposed to be about you and your mother?"

"Maybe." said Bianca, giving up her search to give Marissa a sad smile. "They might just show Lena… They might even show Sarah…"

"Your first love."

Bianca's smile got wider.

"Well I did have a huge crush on Miss Terry my fourth grade teacher, but Sarah was the first person to help me understand why I felt the way I did… that I was gay."

"Wait! You knew you were gay in fourth grade?"

"I knew I was different."

Marissa looked down at her lap, her thoughts coming back to their earlier conversation. How when Marissa declared her love over a year ago now, Bianca had walked away.

"I guess that makes me unusual… I mean I don't remember all of it, there are still huge gaps, but I did think I was straight…"

"And then you met me." said Bianca, putting her fingers under Marissa chin and lifting her head to meet her eyes.

"We've probably had this conversation before… I just don't remember it. But I know I was different too… in school. I was never cool enough to be a cool kid or weird enough to be the weird kid, I was just forgotten in the middle. Add to that the whole town knew I was adopted."

"You were an outsider."

"I only had my parents…" Marissa smile got wider, "I can remember my parents now."

Bianca squeezed her hand.

"I'm glad."

"I think JR was really the first guy to show an interest in me – and he swept me off my feet. I can remember that too now, how very much in love I was with him. But then he changed, he lost interest, he'd made his conquest and moved onto something else."

"And then there was Scott."

"My best friend at the time… but he wasn't… don't tell him because he's a really sweet guy… but he wasn't all that great… you know… in bed."

Marissa waggled her eyebrows for emphasis.

Bianca bit back a laugh.

"I won't tell him."

"And then there was you! Beautiful, incredible you! With your smile and your soulful eyes and your… you-ness."

"You-ness? I think you made up a word there."

"You know what I mean." said Marissa leaning forward eagerly taking Bianca's hands into both of hers. "You are so amazing. You must know that. How could I not fall in love with you? Once I had accepted what it would mean for me I… I just couldn't fight it!"

Bianca sighed and Marissa leaned closer, resting her forehead against Bianca's. Their eyes locked and Marissa tipped her head to the side, pressing closer for a kiss. Bianca sighed again, her hands reaching up to cup Marissa's cheeks as she returned the kiss. Her hands then slowly slid to Marissa's shoulders and she pushed her gently back onto the mattress. Marissa's own hands wrapped around Bianca's waist; sliding under the fabric of her shirt to feel the warm skin underneath.

They lay together their kisses warm, sweet and loving.

Bianca gazed into Marissa eyes, and then laughed.

"How did we get here from trying to pick movie?"

Marissa grabbed the remote, from where it had fallen beside her on the mattress and switched off the television.

"I can think of better things to do than watch a film." she said, pulling Bianca back for more kisses.

"Because I'm incredible?" Bianca teased, her smile wide.

"Yes you are!" sighed Marissa.
