Next Door

Popping the Question

Gianna's POV
It's hard moving your senior year of high school. Missing all your friends and all you have is family. It usually takes me a while to make friends because I don't want to emotionally attach to people when I know i'm just gonna leave again. But with Drea? I felt an attraction to her I couldn't ignore. I've always labeled myself as bisexual but i've been questioning that for a while now. The feeling I felt with girls was different than what I felt with boys. What I felt with Andrea, I wanted to explore. But does she like girls? Just because she has a tomboy swag doesn't mean she's gay. I think I might ask later.

END OF TEXT MESSAGES*

Andrea's POV
We get to lunch and I introduce Gianna to my friends. "Okay y'all this is Gianna, my new neighbor. Gianna, this is Katelyn, Alana, and Jatavion." I say pointing at each of my friends. "Y'all date or sum?" Tavion blurts out. "No nigga we just met yesterday. Shit." I almost shout. "That's the only reason we ain't dating?" Gianna says looking up at me. I can feel my face get hot, Kate notices and changes the subject. "Did y'all plan on matching or..." "No but we should take pictures." I respond. "Okay i'll take them right now." Alana offers.
So we go out in the courtyard and take pictures in front of the garden. While we were taking the pictures Gianna did something i would have never expected. She grabs my face with her long freshly done Acrylics and kisses my cheek. My first instinct was to smile so I did. "THEY FUCKING DATE" said Jatavion. In response Gigi looks at me, and of course I blush.

Gianna's POV
The rest of the day goes on, she drives back home and when we get in my driveway I look over at her and I say. "I got a question." "What's up?" she says looking back at me. "You like girls?" I say with very little thought. "Uh... you can't tell? Yes. I'm a stem." "Oh! Cool, yeah I just didn't wanna assume." I stutter a little over my words. "Do you like girls?" she asks back. "Yeah, I do." I say shyly. "Oh...Cool."
There's a little pause of silence. We both look at each other's lips and eyes during the pause. "Do you wanna come over and do some homework?" she says finally filling the silence. "Sure! I should change my clothes first though, i'll be over there in about 30 minutes." i say accepting the invitation. "Bet." she says licking her lips and looking all sexy. She IS sexy. But we can't pursue anything yet. It's too soon... Right?

Andrea's POV
I was hoping she would say that. I rush in the house to get ready. "Oh, Dad the girl next door is coming over to do homework in a few minutes. If that's cool." "That's fine."
I hop in the shower for a few minutes, Threw on some sweats and a sports bra. and took my hair out of the slick back ponytail. I check myself in the mirror, and take my homework out.
A few minutes later I hear a little knock at my door I say come in and of course it's Gigi. She has on sweatpants, uggs and a hoodie, with her braids in a messy bun on top of her head. Somehow this is the most beautiful i've ever seen her. "Where yo bookbag at?" I ask obliviously. "Drea, we not finna do homework for real." she says boldly.
