kisses (are for people who are in love)

Part 1

"Oh my God, I love your new hair colour! It's gorgeous!" A black haired female cried out at the sight of her best friend. She jumped up from the sofa and hurried over to where the other girl stood. She wrapped her arms around Jade, who couldn't help but smile broadly and hug her friend back.

"Thank you! I really like your hair like that, too. It looked nice straight, but you look gorgeous with those curls."

Leigh's face beamed up and her white teeth appeared between her lips. "Aw, thank you! You know, back home I was sleeping in all the time and sometimes I just didn't have the time to straighten it, so I just let it be the mess it is. I wasn't sure if I should keep it like that, but honestly, I've become too lazy to care."

"Don't worry, I like your afro loads. You can tousle the hair so nicely and, oh my God!" She giggled as she played with her friend's hair. "Your hair is so much softer! Do you use a new shampoo?"

The sound of someone clearing their throat caused both of them to turn around and see who was standing behind Jade, a few feet away.

"Lillian, it's so nice to see you again! How did you like the holidays?" Jade knew that her friend wasn't always too fond of her girlfriend because Lillian had shown jealous tendencies when she and Jade had been apart for a while.

The brunette obviously forced a smile as she walked closer to the two friends and protectively wrapped her arm around Jade's waist. Jade smiled down at her girlfriend, who was smaller than her, although Jade was one of the tiniest people Leigh-Anne had ever met. "No need to worry, Lily, we were just excited to see each other." She placed a kiss on her girlfriend's forehead and smiled.

"You just saw each other three weeks ago," Lillian pouted and sighed, feeling guilty for her jealousy. She knew she was lucky with Jade being so understanding but she just couldn't help it sometimes – she knew someone was bound to find Jade just as attractive as her.

Jade nodded her head and raised an eyebrow. "Yes, but how did you greet me when we didn't see each other for two weeks?" She bit her lip, causing Lillian to blush a deep shade of red.

The black haired girl in front of the couple slapped her hands over her ears and pressed her eyes shut. "La, la, la, I can't hear anything!" She sang and walked away into the kitchen.

Lillian couldn't help but giggle and kiss Jade on the lips before dropping her hand from her waist. "Sorry for being so... ugh." She pursed her lips and looked around curiously. "Where is your bedroom, by the way? I can't believe you have this flat for about three weeks now and I haven't seen it once yet. We haven't inaugurated any room in here yet."

Now it was Jade's turn to blush. "I wish you could stay here tonight so we could take our time. As far as I'm aware there's a party tonight to celebrate the fact we're all here again, and I guess Leigh-Anne would love to go."

Lillian pouted again and sighed. "Yeah, I wished so, too. But my courses start tomorrow and I promised my roommate to be there by eight today so she'd help me organise my stuff in our new dorm."

The purple haired girl nodded her head. "I know. Text me when you got there safely, alright? I already miss you."

"I already miss you," Lillian repeated before kissing her girlfriend on the lips one last time. "I gotta go now. Have fun at the party for me, okay? But not too much." She winked, indicating she was only joking but Jade knew better than not to take her seriously in this case. It was a mystery to her why her girlfriend was so insecure, but she tried everything to assure her she was the only one she needed.

"Of course I can't, considering you're not there." Leading Lillian to the door, she sighed. "But I'll seriously miss you. Don't forget to text. You know what a worryguts I am."
