How Did We Get Here?

2.

My sister, her name is Yaël.
Yaël and I decided to walk home after diner, it was only 9 blocks and it was nice outside.

After 15 minutes we got home. I utterly hated the stairs in our house, it made a long day seem even longer.
I enter my room and my bed wasn't made yet, so decided to to make it tonight, I am going to sleep in it anyway. I put my bag on the bed and plugged my phone in.

I got undress and threw my clothes on the chair in the corner, Yaël calls it the "Might wear again before washing chair". I stepped into the shower and let the cold water fall on my face, just long enough for it to calm me down. After a few minutes Yaël calls me to say goodnight and hints that it's time to get out of the shower.

As I'm getting ready for bed I receive a DM.
I was so excited because it was from Maya, she was older than me, about 7 years my senior.

-Hi it's Maya from work.

I read her DM a few times to let it sink in, as I did a little happy girl dance before figuring out what to say. I'll admit I googled how to keep the conversation going because for once, I didn't know how to talk to a girl. I felt special and stupid and a lot of other things. Mostly I felt like a 16 year old girl that just got texted for the first time by her crush. In all honesty that's what happened.

I couldn't figure out why, because it was just Maya, the cold and blunt admistrator from work, with a boyfriend. A boyfriend!

I replied "Hey, how are you?"

-I'm okay, I like your pictures. So when did you know you liked girls?

"I have always known I think, at school I would look at the teachers and when I kissed my first boy I puked. I do enjoy kissing women. After a girl kissed me, I knew I was gay. How long have you been with your boyfriend?"

-Oh so you've known for a while. Are you a Virgin? I've been with him for 5 years now."

"I have only slept with one girl before, but I have made out with a lot of girls. I like to make out a lot. I think it's fun, but I don't sleep with any."

-Okay that's good to know. I am bisexual and my boyfriend knows. Do you want to hang out this weekend?"

I was shocked and confused, because I honestly think you can either be a lesbian or you can be heterosexual. I can't understand people who like both, I feel like they are playing both fields or just experimenting.

"That sounds cool, we could hang out yes. Let me know what you have in mind."

I didn't know why I agreed to it, but some part of me was curious why she texted and I honestly wanted to know what it would feel like to kiss her. Seeing I haven't kissed anyone in a while. There was this boy, he wmas my friend, Cedric. His girlfriend had left him and I offered to make him a better kisser. Cedric and I would hang out and I'd make out with him, he has improved very much. He had asked me to date him and after teaching him how to kiss it didn't seem like the worst idea. However he knew I was a lesbian so I didn't understand why he asked.

We went on two dates which seemed fine, but to me it was more friends hanging out and kissing after.

-I am going out of the City for this weekend, for two days maybe you want to join?

My mind was going blank, I texted my friend and she said she could cover for me. We came up with this plan that I would tell my sister I was sleeping at my friends house.

"I would love to join. I am going to bed. Sweetdreams."

I didn't actually go to bed, it was Thursday night so that meant tomorrow I would be going to a sleepover. With a woman 7 years my senior. I packed and unpacked and repacked. I had never done so much packing in my life. I was panic packing.

Yaël came into the room and looked

Yaël said with raised eye brows "It's only sleepover with your friend. Why are you packing like you've never done that before?"

I replied "I don't know, just don't know what to wear tomorrow that's all."

"Well hurry up and finish packing up. Goodnight." Yaël said before she closed my bedroom door.
