Reagan, being the gentlewoman she is, brought Amy home before midnight. To say it was a perfect date was more than an understatement. They talked for hours and hours.
When they left Sea Love Reagan took Amy for a walk. It was a nice night, not too warm, not too cold. But when Amy started shivering and crossed her arms, Reagan took off her black leather jacket and put it around the blonde's shoulders. Amy mumbled a small thanks and blushed.
And then, the moment Reagan grabbed Amy's hand, the younger girl shivered for a whole other reason than the cool night air. To feel the DJ's skin on hers made her heart jump inside of her chest and Amy bit her lip to stop herself from smiling too much. She didn't want to look like a crazy person.
They stopped when they reached a bench in the park. It was quite romantic. There was a lantern a few meters away, so Amy was able to see Reagan just fine. And then, out of the blue, appeared a bunch of fireflies that started to fly around them.
Reagan looked up at them and smiled one of her beautiful toothy smiles and Amy could do nothing but to look at her. When the cater-waiter noticed the other girl's leering, she looked down and blushed.
"You're beautiful.", Amy breathed. She wanted nothing more than to slap herself in that moment. She just couldn't help herself. She had to tell Reagan.
The purple haired girl looked at Amy and started giggling.
"You're not so bad yourself, Shrimp Girl.", she replied.

"Hellooooo? Earth to Amy. Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?", Karma asked kind of annoyed.
Amy whipped her head around and looked at her best friend startled. No, she definitely didn't listen. She was kinda hung up on her and Reagan's date night. It was the most perfect date Amy could've ever hoped for.
"I'm sorry, Karms. I've been thinking about... midterms and stuff... you know how anxious I always become.", Amy tried to play off her daydreaming.
"Oh Aims, we both know you will pass. No need to worry or anything.", Karma said and placed one of her hands on Amy's across the lunch table.
The blonde's eyes grew wide and she pulled her hand back as if it was struck by lightning. She looked at Karma and opened her mouth, but not a single word wanted to come out.
"Uuh... I gotta... I gotta go... Shane wanted to see me before the next class starts. See you later, bye.", Amy rambled and practically ran away from Karma.
The redhead looked after her with a questioning look on her face, but it was instantly replaced with a grin when Liam fucking Booker walked around the corner towards her.

Amy and Reagan have been sitting on the bench in the park for almost an hour now, and they were still holding hands.
They were sitting pretty close together, shoulders and thighs touching, but neither of them seemed to mind.
"So you're telling me Shane stole his mom's sex toys to help his biggest enemy to tie up her ex boyfriend and take photos from the guy with the dildos? That's just insane, Shrimp Girl.", Reagan laughed and squeezed Amy's hand in the progress.
"I know right. And the worst is, suddenly the garage gate is opening, Shane and the others are running in every direction, finding a place to hide, and my mom sees me standing next to Tommy. I tell you, worst. Night. Ever."
Okay, definitely not worst, but it was pretty embarrassing. Reagan laughed again and put her head on Amy's shoulder, practically breathing down the younger girl's neck, which caused another shiver from Amy.
Reagan seemed to notice Amy's goosebumps and lifted her head back up. She looked at the blonde and found something in her eyes that she couldn't quite put a label on. Out of the corner of her eye Reagan noticed Amy licking her lips and her reflex kinda forced her to do the same.
They were so close. Only about six inches between their faces. It would be so easy to close the gap. But both girls didn't want to ruin whatever they had.
Reagan seemed always so tough and emotionally strong, but things happened in her past that scarred her heart for a lifetime.
She remembered her last relationship and how fast everything happened back then. She didn't want whatever she had with Amy end the same way.
Amy was only 15 and she was 19. Reagan was kinda afraid that the blonde wasn't mature enough to take this as serious as the DJ. With 15, Reagan definitely wasn't.
She didn't have many relationships, actually it was just one, but with 15, everything Reagan cared for were parties and sleeping with girls. She liked to play with people, made them want her, beg for her, love her.
But she wasn't like this anymore. Things have changed for Reagan. And the thought of Amy being just like her at 15, scared the hell out of Reagan.

Amy was on her way home when her phone vibrated inside of her pocket. She knew it couldn't be Karma, she was at Liam's, and when she was with him, she could be dead or whatever, when Amy tried calling her whenever she was with the manwhore she'd never pick up.
The blonde grabbed her phone and unlocked it to see who wrote her.
[Reagan]: you home yet, shrimps?
Amy smiled at the message. She kind of grew a liking to the nickname. And after last night she definitely grew a even bigger liking to the hot DJ.
To [Reagan]: I'm omw, why?
She put her phone back in her pocket and continued her way home.
/
Amy looked into Reagan's beautiful big brown eyes and got lost in them for a moment.
After everything that happened with Karma, how could she be so naive and start looking for someone new so soon after? Her heart was still broken, she still felt the pain every time she thought about the night of her mother's wedding.
But when she bumped into Reagan at the underground party... it felt like fate has laid a hand. She didn't believe in love at first sight or any other bullshit, but she felt like it wasn't coincidence that they met again after the Booker engagement party.
But maybe, just maybe, it was just what Amy wanted to believe in. Maybe she wanted to believe in something good after everything that happened in the last few months.
Maybe Reagan was the best thing that could ever happen to her. Maybe she was a creature sent from heaven, only made for her. Maybe Reagan was as perfect as Amy wanted her to be.
But what if? What if Reagan was just another Karma? What if Reagan was just a hot older girl who was looking for a hook up? What if Reagan was a female Liam Booker?
Damn, Amy didn't know what to think anymore.

Amy was practically jumping down the stairs when the doorbell rang. Reagan was texting her about 15 minutes ago that she was coming over, and Amy wasn't even home then. As soon as she read it, she held her bag tight and ran all the way home.
She stopped in front of the door and slowly breathed in and out, trying to sort out her thoughts.
Don't do or say something stupid, Amy thought.
But the moment she laid eyes on Reagan in her short jeans skirt and her "barely-there" crop top every ounce of willpower flew out of the window.
/
"You know I really like you, right?" Reagan was the first one to break the silence that hung heavily between them for the past few minutes.
Amy nodded barely visible. "Yeah. And I really like you too."
"Then what is it?", Reagan asked. "I can see it in your eyes."
Amy sighed. She didn't want to talk about Karma. And like Lauren said, talking about this would just ruin every chance Amy had with this amazing girl in front of her.
"It's nothing... it's just... I'm overthinking everything. I've never been on a date..."
Amy wasn't lying. She was overthinking everything. And this was her first date.
"Then just stop overthinking everything. Go with whatever feels right...", Reagan whispered, her eyes plastered on Amy's lips.
This action didn't go unnoticed by the blonde and she nodded slowly.
"Okay...", she whispered back.
And she knew deep down inside of her, there was only one thing she wanted to do right now. There was only one thing that felt right. Only one thing that would make the night more perfect than it already was. Only one thing. And by the look in Reagan's eyes she thought the same.
So Amy did what Reagan told her to do. She went with whatever felt right.
And in the moment she leaned in to close the gap between her lips and the DJ's, something completely new happened... Karma was the last thing on her mind.
