Accidentally in Love

Chapter Eight : The Love That Could Have Been

"I ... I love you, too." Rita says stuttering a bit.

"You hesitated ..."

"It was just a little unexpected."

"Oh."

Katie lets go of Rita, and gives her another kiss. There's a knock at the door, and Rita hides immediately. Katie goes to the door and answers it. She opens the door to find multiple cameras in her face, and paparazzi holding them asking multiple questions on her sexuality.

"Katie! Is Rita a lesbian?"

"Katie! Are you and Rita dating?"

"Katie! Are you a lesbian?"

"I cannot speak for the other girls of 'Faking It' but on my part ... yes ... yes I am a lesbian."

Katie shuts the door, and closes all the curtains. The crowd quickly leaves, after getting their answer.

Rita peeks her head out the door and asks, "Are they gone?"

"Yeah."

"You came out."

"Yeah, I did ... I'm tired of being afraid. I don't care what they think."

Rita hugs Katie and whispers, "I love how you didn't out me."

"I don't force people out of the closet unless it's to the people that love them."

"Ugh" Rita sighs "I love you, but people are gonna put two and two together."

Yvette shows up at the front door, unannounced.

"There are paparazzi showing up at my front door trying to get the cover of a Lesbian magazine."

"We all know you wouldn't make the cover, they were just here." Katie says defending herself.

"I didn't ask you Katie." She looks heavily at Rita. "You sent them to my house?"

"No, they chose that themselves. They're obsessed with the fact that you made a scene when I broke up with you." Rita answers.

"I did NOT make a scene."

"You're making a scene right now, and besides ... it doesn't matter if you did or not, they're still after us."

"True."

"I know I'm right."

"But what are we gonna do about that?"

"I don't know but she came out." Rita motions in Katie's direction.

Katie gives a little wave, to remind that she's still a human.

Yvette still pissed off yells, "Fuck you Katie."

Katie stands shocked in disbelief of the situation.

She angrily yells, "You know what ... Fuck. You. I'm not the entire reason Rita left you you ignorant piece of shit, if you wanna blame me I don't give two shits but, it pisses me off that you actually believe that!"

Yvette sighs and admits, "Look, I'm sorry Kate. I'm not over it, and we all know it."

Katie replies in her sternest voice yet, "My name ... is not ... Kate."

"I'm sorry."

"I wanna hear you say it."

"I'm sorry Katie."

"There you go. Now, Can you please put your petty jealousy aside and pay attention to the matter at hand?"

Yvette now stands shocked in how fast Katie turned from quiet and in the background, to roasting her ass like she's at a campfire. The girls soon get back to the topic of the paparazzi.

"So ... What are we gonna do?" Yvette worries.

"Well, my part's done." Katie chimes.

"Well our's isn't, Katie. Maybe you haven't realized but Yvette and I haven't come out like you."

Yvette stares at Katie while she says nothing.

"You let her talk to you like that but not me?"

"You don't like me and that's my girlfriend you're talking about."

"Alright, both of you shut up. The paparazzi will be here any minute and we need to hurry this up."

They both angrily agree to Rita.

"Fine. What do we do?" Katie asks.

"I'm all for whatever Rita says."

Katie glances at Yvette with a "Fuck outta here, that's my girlfriend you're flirting with" face.

"All we really need to do is come up with a cover story for what she said." Rita points to Yvette.

"We can say I'm your best friend, and someone replaced me." Yvette puts out.

"That might work, if everyone didn't already know she's my best friend." Katie points out.

"Right."

"So that's out." Rita says losing hope.

"I need to go, before the paparazzi find me." Yvette states before leaving.

Yvette leaves and just avoids a group of paparazzi.

"There's no way you can leave with all this." Katie states.

"I know but I probably wasn't gonna leave anyways."

"So, what are we gonna do?"

"We can say ... An old friend showed up while I was hanging out with her and I left with my friend."

"That's good. No strings attached. But wait ..."

"What?"

"Who's gonna be the friend?"

"Well shit. I didn't think of everything."

"It could be me, but that would give off a hint of you two being gay since you know, I came out."

"Yeah, why'd you have to do that? You fucked up my plan."

"We can get Bailey on board or maybe Terra."

"We cannot get a random fan famous for nothing. It's awful, just look at Kim Kardashian. And how are we gonna find Terra anyways?"

"I got her number."

Rita gives a "what the fuck" face, and says "What the fuck, Katie?"

"Oh, no no no. I just liked her and I wanted to see her again."

"You're not helping your case."

"Okay, here's how it went : I got the coffees, turned around and she was there. She was a huge fan, and she kept the compliments coming. She gives me confidence, and makes me feel good, okay. If that's wrong then I don't wanna be right."

"Call her, text her. Do something she's my new old friend."

Katie squeals and hugs Rita, "Yay."

"You are way too happy about this." She says with a laugh and huge smile.

"I know." She says pulling out her phone.

Katie calls Terra and she answers.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"Hello, is this Terra?"

"Yeah, this is Terra."

"This is Katie. Katie Stevens."

"Oh my god. I didn't expect you to call me."

"Yeah, I'm here with Rita and we need your help."

"What is it? I'd do anything for you guys."

"We need you to just come over to my house. We'll explain everything when you get here. I'll text my location, please come."

"Alright, I'm on my way."
