"Oh, I see." She places her hand on my leg. "If you want, I can be your first?"
Charli's stare is smoldering. It's hot in here. The rooms temperature has spiked. I look down at my glass of water. It's cold and I take a sip from it.
"That's adorable. You're blushing."
Ugh. I hate my blush. It's not fair everyone can see my internal turmoil. Her calling it out only makes my face flush hotter.
"So, if you've had sex. But not with a woman? That makes you...?" She drags out.
"Bisexual," I finish.
"Right," She says and takes a sip from her wine.
I'm suddenly insecure about it. It's the way she's said it. Like she doesn't quite believe me. What doesn't she believe about it? I'm bisexual. I think.
"And you?" I say, "What do you identify as?"

"Why do you do that?"
"What?" I meet her gaze.
"Look around every time I touch you. No one is going to judge you here. And the people out there." She points outside the bar. "Screw them if they do. It's none of their business."
