A/N: Hey everybody, I'm here to apologize for updating so late AGAIN. I've been having so many issues with relationships lately and I just broke up with my gf so I just...obviously haven't had much motivation to do anything. But I pushed this chapter out because YOU GUYS DESERVE IT and I love all your feedback and nice messages. I'm gonna be uploading a separate nsfw Pharmercy thing soon so look out for that!
"Listen Angela," Fareeha said exhaustedly, "I love you, I want you, I need you. I have to have you in my life. I wanna hold you every night and kiss you awake every morning. I want to take you to prom and I want to make cookies with you and kiss you until you can't remember your own name. I love you Angela. Please be mine."
Lena took a long draw from her pop can, "Again."
Fareeha sighed loudly and began again, "Listen Angela, I-"
"Yes?"
"AUGH!"
Fareeha, Lena, and Mei all jumped in surprise and Amélie sat stone still, watching Angela who had approached from behind all of them. Angela looked guiltily immediately at Fareeha and sat down beside her silently. Lena looked at Fareeha and Fareeha met her eyes. The table was silent.
"Good morning, Angela." Amélie said, breaking the silence with a calming tone.
"Hello Amélie!" The blonde greeted her, "How are you this morning?"
"Ahh…Tired. Definitely not looking forward to Algebra class."
Amélie turned her head to look at Fareeha directly in the eye. The football player looked back in confusion, and then she suddenly realized what Amélie had set her up for. The fellow senior had noticed that Fareeha would feel awkward starting a conversation with Angela alone, and she somehow knew that Angela helped her with Algebra.
"OH! Speaking of Algebra…" Fareeha said, sending Amélie a smile of thanks, "I had a few questions."
"Well. I'll help you later." Angela said sitting down beside her and lifting a hand to put some hair behind her ear, "I need to talk to you first."
Lena and Amélie looked at each other and Mei felt like a 5th wheel.
"I have to talk to you too." Fareeha said, rubbing the back of her neck, "About last night…"
Angela looked at everyone sitting around them, then leaned forward and whispered in Fareeha's ear, "Should we meet after school or…"
Fareeha didn't want to wait any longer but she didn't feel like it was a good time to talk in front of Lena and Amélie and poor Mei who seemed clueless, yet entertained nonetheless. As much as she wanted to shout how much she truly cared about Angela, she nodded simply and looked away…
Angela paused and then turned her head to look at Lena who seemed to be staring murderously at Fareeha.
The football girl noticed Lena and wracked her mind with something to say to make the situation less awkward. The fact that Angela wasn't continuing her clueless behavior must have meant that she had fully understood the situation on her own, without anyone's help. Fareeha WAS as obvious as she could manage to be in such a short time. She wanted to tell Angela that everything was alright. She wanted to tell her that she understood her. She wanted to say so many things, but she couldn't help following her gut. Now wasn't the right time.
The bell rang and everyone at the table except Amélie let out a heaving sigh. Angela and Fareeha looked at each other and Angela felt herself draw into herself slightly as Fareeha looked as she did when she first began talking to her: Aloof. Like she felt nothing for her. Fareeha didn't mean to look like she didn't care…it was a personal defense mechanism to put everything out of her mind.
Fareeha stood and left the room before anyone else. Angela hung back and looked at Lena helplessly.
"I swear." Lena said, "BOTH of you are absolutely-"
"Lena, hush." Amélie stepped in, stepping between the girls, nodding to Angela "Have a good day, Angela." She took Lena by the arm and hurried her out of the room before the eccentric student had a chance to say anything more. Mei stood beside Angela and watched her face as they left the room together at a slow pace. It was distressing to see the normally bubbly girl so forlorn.
"Opportune lost, I guess." Mei said quietly.
"No…we're talking later." Angela said, "It's just that…I feel like we just backpedaled. She opened up to me the day after we went roller blading and every day last week and this week it's just been a blur. A happy rush. I KNOW she likes me but I think I messed it up, Mei."
"How?" The younger girl asked, afraid she was overstepping her boundaries.
"I pretended her feelings didn't exist." Angela said quietly, shrugging.
Mei, who didn't know Angela as well as Lena, took a moment to think to herself. She took Angela's hand, "You probably didn't do it on purpose." She concluded.
Angela smiled sadly. She really didn't, but that fact didn't erase how she made Fareeha feel.
Lena, ahead of them was steaming. Amélie leaned down to kiss her cheek lovingly, "Lena, dear. You can't force them together, and you can't make them confess to each other any faster. I am aware that sitting back and watching things happen isn't exactly your way of going about things. Listening and waiting is for the better, even if it makes you uncomfortable."
Lena looked up at her girlfriend and sighed slowly, "You're right, Amélie…" Lena took her hand and knitted her fingers with hers, "You always seem to be right."
The taller girl smiled, "Spending most of one's life listening to conversations instead of being involved in them makes one strangely wise in how to handle certain situations."
"I guess that makes sense." Lena said, quietly, "You're the best."
Amélie grinned happily.
School always was slow, but today seemed to go quickly for Fareeha. She occupied herself with formulating everything she was going to say to Angela. It would work this time, she was sure of it. Her classes seemed short, and as much as she tried to pay attention, her mind would always go back to Angela, creating a sort of speech in her head about what to say. She would have written it down on paper if it weren't for the people that seemed to insist they be around her so much every day. Amélie who was also a senior, sat next to her often and the two had small conversations here and there. Small talk but nothing more.
Angela, however, was tired and worn down and sleepy. She listened as she always did, but appeared to have a lack of motivation. Fareeha had distanced herself from her, and Angela felt disheartened. Lena attempted to cheer her up a few times, and Angela mustered a smile or two, but a few minutes after she would just sink back down into her nervous demeanor for the day. Lena was on her own in Algebra class.
When lunch rolled around, Angela and Fareeha caught each other's eye as they both were about to sit down. Fareeha gave her a comforting smile and Angela sat down feeling slightly better than she did before. She didn't know how to interpret the look. Was Fareeha just taking pity on her stupidity? Was she smiling because she felt bad for her and her cluelessness? Lena frowned as Angela didn't seem to be eating much.
"Angela." Amélie addressed her from her place beside Mei on the other side of the table, "Would you like to tell us what's wrong?"
Lena rubbed her back and Angela let out a bitter, stressed laugh.
"I don't know what we're gonna talk about." Angela said in truth, "I don't know if she's gonna tell me I'm stupid or if she likes me or maybe both."
"One or the other, things will work out." Lena reassured her, "You guys have something…she'd be stupid to throw that away."
"It's not so much her throwing me away as it is the idea of being told you're stupid by someone you love."
"…You love her?" Lena asked quietly.
Angela bit her lip and lifted a hand to rub her face. Amélie looked at her in the eye and Angela realized that the girl looked placid and calm more than she looked unnerving. The older girl had a sense of peace about her that traveled to Angela in those few moments and both girls had an understanding.
"I guess I do." Angela said, looking at Lena, "And I'm nervous, but whatever happens I'm going to be okay. It's not the end of the world."
Lena patted her back happily and Amélie nodded. Fareeha had recited what she was going to say for the fifth time as she finished her sandwich.
In study hall, Lena let Angela play with her hair.
When the final bell rang, Angela sat in her seat until everyone was out of the room, including the teacher. When she finally left the room on her own, people in the halls were thinning out and walking away, quiet the only thing remaining. She turned the corner to walk to her locker. In a spark of what she could only identify as a mixture of dread and the nervous jitters, she approached Fareeha who was standing against the locker beside hers.
The taller girl let her open her locker, memorizing her padlock code…
Angela hurriedly put her books on the upper shelf, and shoved the books she needed for homework over the weekend into her backpack. Finished, she slung one side over her shoulder and shut her locker door and looking up at Fareeha awkwardly.
"You have everything?" Fareeha asked.
"Yep." Angela replied, "So...what did you want to say?"
Fareeha slowly reached down and took Angela's hand and lifted her fingers to her lips. She kissed the side of her thumb. Angela turned red. Fareeha turned her head and kissed the pad of her thumb…and she kissed her pointer finger next, then her index finger and finally she ended with kissing the palm of her hand. Angela was a mess.
"There…" Fareeha said letting go of her hand, "Six reasons to know that I enjoy being around you."
Angela opened her mouth to say something but Fareeha stepped forward and stopped her from talking by lifting a finger. She paused, then reached down to her pocket and answered a subtle vibration on her phone.
"Yeah? You're ready? Okay…" she hung up with whoever was on the other end, and placed it back in her pocket, taking Angela's wrist and guiding her through the hall and out into the parking lot where Amélie was with her car.
"Oh no, you didn't…" Angela began.
"Yep! Amélie agreed to be our chauffer for where we're going."
Angela giggled as Fareeha sat down in the backseat of the car, and gestured for Angela to sit in her lap. The blonde did as she asked and she put her arms around Angela's neck and rested her head on her shoulder while Fareeha placed an arm around her waist, holding her in place.
Amélie already knew where to go, and so she left the parking lot without a word. Angela and Fareeha were silent in the back of the car for the short ride. Fareeha watched Angela, smiling and Angela was beside herself, hiding her face in Fareeha's neck and smiling nervously. She knew they were okay then and there…but…
Amélie stopped the car outside of a familiar restaurant. It was where Fareeha took Angela on their first meeting together. Angela opened the car door, thanked Amélie graciously before following Fareeha inside. They ordered the same thing they had last time, but Fareeha ordered their food to go. While they were waiting for their food, Angela rocked back and forth on her feet.
"So…" the blonde tried.
"Sh." Fareeha smiled, her eyes shining, "I have somewhere else to show you before we talk."
Angela nodded curiously now. She debated on whether or not she should try to hold Fareeha's hand. Eventually, she slid her hand down her arm and knitted her fingers with her. Fareeha received a pleasant jitter up her spine.
She and Fareeha exited the restaurant a few moments after receiving their food, and the taller girl began walking in the opposite direction of her house. Angela became confused and rushed up to her, having fallen slightly behind "Fareeha we-"
"Just follow me!" said the football girl, beginning to jog. Angela began to get slightly frustrated as she followed her, saying nothing as she had asked. She ran after Fareeha, and stopped when she did, then ran again. After almost ten minutes of walking in silence, they approached what seemed to be a massive hill, trailing over the side of the road. The view behind it was hidden by several trees.
Angela watched Fareeha hurdle herself over the guard rail, with her box of food in one hand. The shorter girl went to do the same, but before she could begin to vault herself over, she felt two strong arms lifting her over by her waist. Angela thanked her and Fareeha grinned, very happy with herself. It was almost too satisfying to see the nervous, yet hopeful cluelessness on Angela's face.
When Fareeha lead her to the other side of the trees, Angela nearly fell over the side of the hill they were standing on. Around them was a clearing where the hill ran down in a deep grassy slope to the edge of a pool. It was a small lake, or maybe it could be considered a large puddle of sorts, but it was in the grass. There was no shore. The water pooled at the bottom of the incline and melted up over the blades of grass. Beyond it were trees as far as one could see.
"How did I not know this was…here?" Angela managed.
"I found it one day when I was walking alone." Fareeha said, sitting down in the grass and opening her box, "Let's talk."
"Finally." Angela sighed, sitting down heavily and opening her box as well, "Please let me go first, you've be shushing me all day."
"M-hmm." Fareeha said, biting into her sandwich.
"I…like you." Angela heaved. Fareeha stopped chewing, "And I'm sorry that it seemed like I sort of swept you under the rug last night. I promise you it wasn't anything voluntary." She turned her head away and took a bite of her food, "It's just that…whenever I find someone I really really like, they always have to be really obvious around me or else I just won't understand. I know I can be frustrating. The truth is: I like you so much…I might even…"
Fareeha swallowed a little too early and tried to keep from coughing.
"Are you okay?" Angela asked, feeling at least ten pounds lighter with the weight of the truth off her chest.
"FINE! I'm fine." Fareeha coughed, patting her chest, "I'm okay because I have something really important to say to you too."
Angela took another bite of her sandwich and watched in anticipation as Fareeha pulled a mint out of her pocket and began to open it discreetly. The blonde's eyes opened wide in realization and she put her sandwich down, swallowing a little too early as well, wishing she hadn't taken such a huge bite. She desperately tried to wish away the taste in her mouth. Fareeha had a second thought. Maybe it was too early…so she continued to eat her sandwich and Angela looked at her in slight annoyance.
Fareeha noticed this and stopped mid bite.
"What?"
"Were you going to kiss me?" Angela asked…
"Was I?" Fareeha said nervously.
"It…I don't know." Angela shrugged and took another bite of her sandwich.
Fareeha looked and her sandwich, then at Angela…
Her heart began to pound as she realized she couldn't wait any longer. It had been a week of near sexual tension and finally being with the one who she knew she had wanted to be with for a long time. She was sitting just beside her…asking if she was going to kiss her. Fareeha set her sandwich down in the box, set it aside, and leaned over to Angela to take hers. She placed it down in her box and grabbed her face, turning her towards her without any resistance at all.
"I love you." Fareeha gasped flustered, forgetting what she and Lena had practiced that morning in the cafeteria, "And I want to love you for as long as you'll have me. I thought about you so much even before we stated talking and I wanted to get to know you but I wasn't sure if you were the one for me." She took a deep breath, "…Until I saw your eyes…" she tilted her head an Angela tried to look away as she normally did but Fareeha held her in place. Angela lifted a hand to place over Fareeha's.
"M-my eyes?" The blonde asked, completely hypnotized.
"Yeah." Fareeha said, her chest feeling light as she leaned closer still, "You were sitting by yourself in the bleachers while mom was away. You were studying or reading a book and you looked up sometimes. I saw your eyes…they looked exactly like the sky." She ran her fingers through Angela's hair and the blonde lifted her hands to put around Fareeha's neck, bringing her down as she laid in the grass. Fareeha positioned herself over Angela where she was leaning down, her chest pressing against hers but her lower half was off. Angela was redder than she had ever been in her life and Fareeha was breathless, looking down into Angela's eyes, the sun reflecting off the irises and making them look almost purple in the early setting sun.
Fareeha continued, "They're so expressive and honest and…I've felt a comfort with you like I've never felt with anyone else."
Angela put some hair behind her ear and Fareeha placed a hand on her shoulder, the other on her face.
"You…" Angela sighed, "You're…"
Fareeha couldn't wait any more. Now was the right time. She leaned down…
At the worst moment possible, a sharp ringing sound broke the spell. Both of them jumped in alarm and Fareeha reflexively let out a frustrated growl and stood up while Angela scrambled with her phone to turn it off. It was her mother…she felt like she should have answered it but at the moment, Fareeha was more important to her. She would call her after. Angela hurriedly put the phone in her pocket and rushed to the taller girl.
"Fareeha!" She called.
"What…No I'm sorry. Can we-"
Angela paused, marched backwards a few paces and then ran as hard as she could, jumping into Fareeha and knocking her down with a light thud. Fareeha looked up at her in surprise as Angela whispered breathlessly, "I love you too. I love you more. I love you too!"
Fareeha's heart stopped as Angela leaned down and finally captured her lips with her own. The world stopped around them and went still. Fareeha felt Angela's hands holding her face and her heart resumed its beating. The October chill couldn't touch them. Angela slowly let go, opening her eyes to see Fareeha opening hers as well, looking equally as dazed. There were sparks, but very subtle ones. There didn't have to be fireworks. Both of them knew that it felt so right that the sparks didn't even need to ignite.
Fareeha sat up and caught Angela's lips with her own again and put her arms around her, holding her tightly while Angela stroked her cheek and lifted her shoulders in a sudden flurry of giddy chills that ran down her spine. Fareeha tilted her head, kissing her deeply, both girls began to get excited, Angela shivering. Their kisses slowly began to heat up as Angela wanted to test with tongue. Fareeha was the first to let out some kind of moan and it came out so incredibly girly that Angela broke off the kiss and looked at her. The look on Fareeha's face made Angela freeze. Her eyes were dark and needy, looking at her lips as soon as they parted.
It was an almost magnetic pull that forced them together again, Fareeha leaning Angela back against the grass, putting a hand on her waist. Angela explored Fareeha's mouth with her tongue and Fareeha kissed her back harder. Both girls began to let their hands roam. Angela's fingers tangled themselves in Fareeha's thick, dark hair and Fareeha slid her hand slightly under Angela's shirt to feel her skin. The dazed blonde sat up for a moment to undo her hair tie and let her hair fall around her shoulders. Fareeha received a familiar ache below as Angela looked at her expectantly. The smaller girl let out a pleasured gasp as Fareeha pushed her back against the ground again.
After a few minutes of this, both broke away, panting and excited. Fareeha's hair was messy and Angela's was as well. Both girls came together again for a sweet and gentle kiss before parting for the last time. They had said what they needed and done what they wanted. All was well, and both girls were put to rest, their anxieties soothed and that aching to be with one another satiated for now.
"So…." Fareeha said as Angela rested her forehead against hers, "Everything's cleared up now?"
"I should say so." Angela answered, kissing her nose, "Promise you won't go to the army when you graduate this year?"
Fareeha smiled and kissed her on the lips sweetly, a warm happiness washing over the both of them.
"I'm not going anywhere." Fareeha replied gently, "We have a lot to do together this year…I'm in no hurry to leave with a girl like you by my side."
The two continued to hug each other until they realized that they were both very hungry. Their food was slightly colder but it didn't matter in the end. They sat close together as they ate, talking about nothing just as before, but both felt more open with one another. It was after they had finished eating that they decided to go see a late night showing of a movie.
Sitting in the very back, both of them hardly paid attention. Angela rested her head on Fareeha's shoulder and the taller girl couldn't have felt happier.
"Hey." Fareeha whispered halfway through.
"Yes?" Angela smiled, lifting her head to nuzzle her cheek.
"I like you a lot."
"I like you a lot too." Angela whispered back, kissing her lips gently, "I can't wait to tell Lena."
Meanwhile, Lena rolled over off of Amélie on her bed, panting in excitement and exhaustion. The taller girl sat up and licked her fingers smugly, leaning over her girlfriend who had since become naked all but a half an hour ago.
"Well now I know what they mean when they say that you can top someone from the bottom." Amélie said reaching down to pet Lena's hair, "You sound so cute when you're about to lose it."
Lena tried to catch her breath, smiling up at Amélie in a daze.
She pointed out desperate to match her partners confidence, "You're cute when you're about to lose it too."
Amélie smiled and laid beside Lena, her head on her shoulder and an arm under her breasts, holding her close. Sex, for the first time, was always clumsy and a bit awkward. The two were no exception, but for Amélie it seemed somewhat natural. Lena was a bottom who insisted on being a top no matter what, and the taller girl truly didn't have an issue with it. She welcomed it. She loved seeing the skinny girl shake and moan until she couldn't hold herself up anymore. She was surprised that she was able to stay on top, propped on her hands and knees while she orgasmed for the first time.
"You're…wonderful." Lena sighed dreamily.
"You're amazing." Amelie replied breathlessly. Before, while Lena was being pleasured by the older girls' fingers, she insisted that she try to do the same, and both ended up making each other climax through just that. Both girls had taken the next step together quickly, and they wouldn't want it any other way. Right before Lena was about to say something else snarky, her phone on her nightstand vibrated. She reached over lazily to see who had contacted her and to her immense pleasure it was Angela.
"Amélie! Look!" Lena sat up excitedly, holding out her phone for both of them to read the text:
"Well we got together finally. It's a bit of a story. I'll have to tell you later, but for now I'll tell you that she is a really really good kisser. We'll drop by in a bit! Is Amélie there?"
Lena turned her head to wiggle her eyebrows at the taller girl who rolled her eyes in reply and lowered her head to rest against her chest. Lena replied with one hand that they were together and waiting for them to come by. Angela told her that they would be there in a just a few minutes.
The shorter girl reached down to run her fingers through Amélie's thick hair as she set her phone down.
"You should wear your hair down more often." She suggested.
"Maybe I will if you like it so much." Amélie sighed, nuzzling into her chest as she felt Lena's thin fingers beginning to gently tug the knots free.
"I like everything about you so much." Lena said affectionately, "And as much as I'd like to keep looking at that flawless ass we need to get dressed because Angel and her lady love are coming by."
Amélie sighed through her nose and sat up, crawling on top of Lena and kissing her teasingly before sliding off of her and grabbing her clothes that had been hastily shed on the floor a while ago. Lena laid on her side and watched her, looking her up and down with a look on her face that made want Amélie to do it all over again. Instead, she reached down and grabbed Lena's panties and threw them at her face.
"Stop looking at me and get dressed!" She laughed.
"Promise you're staying with me tonight?" Lena asked, sitting up with her panties hanging over one eye
"What will you do if I refuse?" Amélie questioned teasingly.
"I will…touch your butt." Lena proclaimed.
"Oh…I'm terrified." Amélie monotonously giggled, "I guess I have no choice then!"
Lena fist pumped and Amélie, again, rolled her eyes at her ridiculousness. It was one of the many reasons why she found her so alluring. She was so childlike, but at the same time she knew how to take the right things seriously.
Fareeha had gotten Angela into a laughing fit by the time they reached Lena's home. Angela was wiping tears from her eyes and Fareeha was laughing herself, overcome with a need to make as Angela happy as possible. Angela at the same time felt the same way, and she found that laughing at all of Fareeha's jokes and silliness made her smile and laugh too. It made them both so undeniably happy to see the other enjoying themselves.
The football girl absentmindedly put her arm around Angela's shoulder and held her closely as they walked for a few moments, Angela putting her arm around Fareeha's waist. They saw Lena's house in the distance and the blonde thought for a moment, broke away from Fareeha's arm and turned on her heel.
"I bet you a night at my place I can beat you to the door."
Fareeha's heart nearly leapt out of her chest.
"A…n-night at your place?" Fareeha asked in a stutter.
Angela took a moment to figure out how suggestive that sounded, and a smile tugged at her lips as she realized that she subconsciously knew what she wanted to imply.
"Yes…A night at my place. All to ourselves…" Angela said, her voice lowering, "Would you like that?"
Fareeha felt herself losing every possible reply to that question as Angela crossed the space between them, reaching up to run her thumb over Fareeha's lips, taking her chin in her hand, "You're so cute when you get all quiet and nervous…I should take that as a yes?"
The taller girl lost control and reached down to bury her head into Angela's neck, sliding her hand down her back and into the back pocket of her jeans. She began kissing the warm skin of her neck lightly, Angela letting out a surprised sound that made Fareeha halt, a new, strange, almost primal and predatory feeling coming over her and collecting in her lower belly…
"F-Fareeha!" Angela gasped, "Not now! Ohhh…not now. As much as I'd love for you to continue we're out in the open, remember?"
"SORRY!" Fareeha apologized, backing away and rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that honestly."
Angela lifted a hand to run her fingers through her hair, "W-well…if I beat you, we spend the night at my place."
"If I lose?" Fareeha grinned, knowing she wouldn't.
"We spend a night at your place." Angela whispered.
Both were delightful options and Fareeha nodded, rubbing her hands together and assuming the running position. Angela laughed, mockingly mirroring the same stance. Fareeha did the countdown and as they began to run, Fareeha reached over and scooped Angela up, holding her bridal style, running as fast as she could as Angela shouted and laughed, demanding that she put her down.
"This is hardly fair!" Angela cried.
Says you!" Fareeha replied, reaching the front door and spinning her around, setting her down lightly and kissing her forehead.
Lena opened the door even before Fareeha could knock and in a moment of realization, Angela recognized that Lena's hair was messed up a great deal than normal…much more than normal. She looked past her to Amélie who was staring directly at her. As Lena and Fareeha whisked themselves away into the other room, talking animatedly about what had happened, Angela stepped inside and closed the door behind her.
Amélie felt slightly uncomfortable in the sudden tense presence, "…May I help you?"
"…Take care of Lena, okay?" Angela said immediately, "I know what you guys must have just finished doing. Know that Lena is in this for life now, and you will crush her if you don't figure out that she's wonderful and worth keeping. No matter how many times she burps out in the open…really loud, no matter how many times she embarrasses you out in public because she just thinks you're her whole world and no one's looking, No matter how many times she drives you crazy, you don't let her go."
The taller girl, ever silent, nodded and said, "Don't worry Angela…"
"Oh, I'm going to worry." The blonde said continued, "That girl is my best friend."
"I will not take that title away from you." Amélie responded honestly. Angela balked. How did she somehow figure out Angela's reason for her slight hostility even before she did? She didn't want to be replaced. Amélie nodded quietly and put a hand on Angela's back, walking with her into the room where Fareeha and Lena were grinning at each other like mad.
Both girls turned to look at Angela and the blonde felt like she needed to run from both of them, lunged at her at once. Lena grabbed her by the waist first and hugged her tightly while Fareeha paused and then wrapped the smaller girls into a huge bear hug, achieving a genuine laugh from the both of them. Angela kissed Lena's cheek as she always did and Lena whispered in her ear, "Promise me that Fareeha won't replace me?"
Angela hugged her harder and buried her face into her neck, "Nobody could ever take your place, L."
Fareeha and Amélie smiled at each other.
Near the end of the month, all of the girls had been invited to a Halloween party at a classmate's house late at night. Happy to go, Lena and Angela rushed to the costume store to see what they could find, dragging their new girlfriends with them. Fareeha wasn't one for scary masks and lots of makeup, but she did like scary movies, she just didn't like pretending that she was in them. Amélie secretly loved it and Lena automatically knew that she would. She didn't have to wear much of anything to be scary and it was easy to find a costume for Amélie: A white shirt with some black pants that ended at the knee with a black cape, and some fangs and a top hat. She made a wonderful vampire.
Angela insisted that Fareeha try on some scary rubber masks to which the girl reluctantly agreed. Nothing seemed to make Fareeha looks scary since the way she held herself and her soft eyes didn't exactly mix with the masks, even when she tried to assume a scary pose. Eventually, Angela found a glass case with a bunch of contacts on display. After a great deal of convincing, Fareeha agreed to go as a possessed person, buying a set of contacts that would make her eyes look milky white.
Lena and Angela tittered excitedly as they began to look for things for themselves. Fareeha and Amélie watched with hidden joy as the younger girls teased each other with fake cat ears and hard plastic hockey masks with blood splatters. It was only a matter of time before Lena found wolf ears and gloves that looked like paws. She could go as a werewolf, and Amélie wasn't disappointed in the slightest.
When it came time for Angela's costume, all three of them joined in to help her find something and none of the costumes seemed good enough for Angela. It didn't fit perfectly to her character like everyone else's. After a while of looking, Lena stumbled across a section that had witch costumes. She thumbed through the fabric and found one that looked moderately okay and insisted that Angela try it on in one of the changing rooms. The three waited patiently and when Angela came out again, Fareeha lost her balance on the rack she was leaning on for a second and Amélie let the fake fangs drop out of her mouth. It was a costume that left all the right places to the imagination. Not too much showed, but it was just the right amount.
"Does it look okay?" Angela asked, turning herself a bit to lift the back strip of cloth to reveal a bit of her ass, "I think it's sort of reveal-"
"I'LL PAY." Fareeha choked.
"But, Fare-"
"I'LL PAY." She repeated.
"Fareeha honey, I-"
"Here we GO TO THE CHECKOUT ISLE."
"Darling, it's still on me."
"I'll lift you up on the counter so they can scan the tag."
And so she did. It was allowed, even though the cashier gave the girls many strange looks, Fareeha carried Angela out of the store, over her shoulder to where she brought her home that day to show her mother and of course see how revealing that costume really was.
On the day of the party, everyone showed up and everyone knew that Angela was Fareeha's girlfriend officially. It was a fun party, but eventually, Angela and Fareeha began to get bored and decided to go home a bit early. Lena the werewolf and her vampire girlfriend decided to stay, waving goodbye with the promise to call later. Fareeha and Angela, back at home, decided to watch scary movies and eat some popcorn balls they swiped from the party.
Everything seemed right with the world, and it was. Angela knew that she wouldn't want to be with anyone else and Fareeha wanted to give Angela a life she deserved in the future. Both of them were sure of the months and years to come and were sure that they would face them together.
"Fareeha?" Angela asked quietly, after the second movie was over, "Do you want me to go get my costume on again?"
