Girlfriends

Sleepover

"I can't believe your parents said yes!" I exclaim. Alex has homophobic parents. "Yeah, it took a lot of convincing, but it wasn't too hard" Alex explains. I smile. I walked today, because it's supposed to rain so I can't ride my bike. I walk alongside Alex. Our hands glide against each other. I blush and look away. We quickly go down the stairs, and walk out the door. I feel Alex's hand grasp around mine. I feel butterflies in my stomach. I see a few people I know walk by. They greet me, but I don't feel like talking right now. A drop of water- it's raining, already? I ask myself. Alex looks at me and giggles. "What's so funny" I say, jokingly mad. Alex giggles again. "You just look so dazed by how there's rain" Alex laughs. I smile. I'm glad I made them laugh. I pull Alex along, my backpack bouncing on my back. "C'mon, lets go before the rain gets worse" I giggle. "Okay, okay" Alex laughs.

Me and Alex talk about random things on the way home. We climb up the steps to my house, and enter. "Hey, (name)" my aunt, J greets. I lift up my hand to signal I heard her. Alex also says hi. I lead Alex to my room, and plop down all my stuff. I slip off my shoes, and plop down on my bed. I pat beside me, motioning for Alex to sit. They set their stuff down, gently. Then lay down, facing me. *Soo what do you want to do?" Alex asks. "We could always watch TV" I suggest. Alex agrees. I scoot over, looking at the TV. I make sure there's room for Alex. They move over beside me. "Anything in mind?" I ask them. "Nope, you can choose" they reply. I turn on the TV, and play my choice.

A few minor things have happened, like my family members getting home. It's still raining outside, the ambiance is calming. It's almost dinner, about 7:30. We usually eat dinner at 9 or 10, but since Alex is here we're eating early. I can hear clanking coming from the kitchen. I hear my aunt, A, let everyone know dinner is ready. I immediately sit up, knowing we're having a special dinner because Alex is here. I grab Alex's hand, and pull them up.

After dinner, I ask if they want to hang out with family before dessert. We all watched TV for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then, we took out dessert. Once we finished that, we went back into my room. "Do you want to help me write?" I ask Alex. I want to be a writer, so I work on my pieces as much as I can. "Sure!" What is it about?" Alex asks. "It's about these lesbians who know each other from childhood, then one moved away and forgot about the other. Now the one moved back, but doesn't remember the other well. Right now, they are girlfriends. I know it is early in the book, but I want other drama to happen, that's why they're dating so early on. Right now they got a bit spicy and are going home. But I don't want them to have sex just yet. So, any ideas?" I ask. (This is actually another story of mine in its current state. You should go read it!) "Ohh you told me about this one before I think that you should make them get close to it, but get caught." Alex suggests. That's actually a good idea. I go get my computer, open Wattpad, and start writing.

Alex has been on their phone while I write. They are snuggled against me. My mom peeks her head in the door. "Hey, it's time for bed." She says. "Ok" I say, keeping the reply minimal. "Goodnight, Ms. A" Alex replies. I roll my eyes. My mom closes my door. "Why'd you roll your eyes? She's nice" Alex confronts. "Ugh...you know, she told me to change my name back to (deadname), doesn't use my pronouns, or my name!? She doesn't even care. I tell her I think I have ADHD or ADD, or tourettes, but she still ignores me. The only reason I tolerate her is because she isn't as bad as my grandma. My grandma made her that way," I rant. "Ehh, I guess every family isn't as it seems" Alex concludes. I close my computer, and plug in my phone. I adjust my pillows, and lay down. Alex lays next to me, looking in my eyes. I slide over, and give a passionate kiss. I wrap around them, they do the same.
