REBEL HEART (GxG)

LEXI

Gab and I laid flat in my bed and I swear I am close to having a heart attack. I almost got carried away seeing Gab in my front door with her messy hair and wearing only boxer shorts and basic white tee. But the look on her face throws it all away. She looked so cute when I dropped the bomb. I tried to relax myself and get to deal with the situation, even though I know I sucked at this. Gab gives me a sense of security by just her mere presence. She makes me feel at peace and safe and I badly needed it right now. Sure she's no match with Jeremy should he come and barged in on us, considering Jeremy is a guy and Gab's a girl, but having Gab here makes all the fear fade away.

"You should see your face when I broke the news Gab"

"Yeah yeah whatever and please this is the last time that we are gonna talk about it. Okay? God Lexi, do you have an idea what you do to me?"

I was surprised with what she said. Do I really have an effect on her and do I really affect her like that? I just smiled at her question.

"Anyway, what's up with your boyfriend?"

I rolled my eyes and I know she's looking at me.

"For the nth time Gabby, he's not my boyfriend okay"

"Sure. So what's with the creepy messages?"

Jeremy sent me hideous text messages after I refused to let him come over tonight. He's been acting real strange after the few times we went out. He constantly texts and calls me and asks me to go out with him or he tells me to come over at his place. Just this evening when I told him he can't come because I was not home, which is a lie, he got mad and started to send me creepy text messages like he's gonna come and break in. It just freaks me out.

"He is professing his love for me through text and he asked me if he can come over tonight"

"Sweet! And?"

Gab turned on her side facing me.

"And I told him he can't because I am not in my house"

"Liar! So did he stop?"

"No, the series of texts went out of hand. He asked me where I was, like if I was staying over at someone else's house with another guy or.."

"Or what Lexi?"

I trailed off gauging Gab's reaction because what I'm about to say is weird.

"Or if I was in the mansion hooking up with you"

I looked at Gab and it seemed like her eyes went wide and I think she mumbled something like "how I wish" but it's almost inaudible, I'm not really sure.

"Did you say something Gab?"

"Hmm? Me? Nah"

She shifted back into her flat position, eyes wide at the ceiling, like she was in deep thought over something. We fell silent for a moment and it's not an awkward silence but a good one.

"I mean why would Jeremy say that? Why would he think that way? Did he really thought that I'd hook up with you?"

"Why not?" Gab snapped.

I sat up and shot her a hard look. Her eyes were still fixed up in the ceiling while her arms are flexed in a way that her head rests in both hands.

"Gab be serious"

"Fine, homophobe"

Good thing Gab brought up this topic because I really want to apologize over my offensive remark the last time we talked. I never meant it that way and I'm not a homophobe.
