She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not (gxg)

Part 35

I opened my eyes the next morning.

I was in Dani's bed. In only a t-shirt and my underwear.

She was next to me in a sports bra.

What in the...?

Then my mind wandered to last night.

After Dani and I kissed she immediately pulled away.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. Am I just completely wrong about this-"

I cut her off and pulled her in again. For a deep kiss. The kind of kiss you get completely lost in and forget the world around you.

This just felt right. So right.

As we kept going, Dani moaned lightly. "Fuck, you're a good kisser."
"So are you." I said, and lightly bit on her bottom lip.

Is this actually happening?

"Okay. Wait. We should talk about this." Dani said, and she pulled back again. We were facing each other on her couch.
"I agree." I nodded, "I mean, I wouldn't mind just kissing you all night. But you're right."
"My heart is pounding so fucking hard." Dani said, with a laugh.
I reached over and put my hand on her chest, "Mine is beating just as hard." I said.
Dani reached over and placed a lock of hair behind my ear, "I just can't believe this is happening."
"So...have you liked me...this whole time?" I asked Dani.
Dani sighed, "Yeah. Honestly, I have. But I completely just buried it. I mean, it was the type of thing that would fuck with me and keep me up at night. I felt awful, having a thing for my best friends girlfriend. But I just learned to suppress it. For the sake of my friendship with Colby and my friendship with you." Dani shook her head, "I feel like a god awful friend right now. I wasn't planning for this to happen. But Jane, it just feels right."
"That kiss felt more right than any kiss I've had." I said, "And you're not god awful. We will figure this out...together."
Dani looked at me, "Did you ever have any feelings for me?"
"Well, I always found you really attractive." I said and Dani smiled, "If I am being honest. Because I was with Colby, it was never glaringly obvious to me. But when you were with Chloe...and Bianca...I felt so weird seeing you with them. Hearing about your sex life with Chloe-"
Dani blushed, "Oh god."
"Now when I really hone in on why it felt weird- it was because I was jealous. Yes, I was with Colby. But you're my person. You're my safe space. You're my best friend, and I always wanted to be around you more than Colby." I said, "You've always been the one there for me.
"I've never connected with anyone like I've connected with you. Right after that conversation that we had about Callie and Mike...I just felt like I could talk to you about literally anything." Dani said.
"I feel the exact same. I can say anything...do anything."
"I almost slipped up one time." Dani chuckled, "When you were getting me ready for my date with Chloe, and you were straightening my hair. At one point you put your head on my shoulder, and we looked at each other. I almost kissed you. Almost went in for it- I wasn't even thinking about it, I almost just did it. But then I caught myself."
"Did you actually love Chloe?" I asked Dani- not sure if I wanted to actually hear the answer.
"No." Dani shook her head, "It was lust. It was exciting. Passionate. Nothing more. It fizzled."
"I figured." I nodded, "I felt so weird when you said you were going to have her live here. Now I know why."
Dani chuckled, "How is this happening?"
"Were you thinking of this...after Colby and I broke up?"
"Of course the thought crossed my mind. But no. I thought my feelings for you would never come to fruition. Honestly. And when we barely spoke this past month, it crushed me. I thought I really lost my chance forever." Dani said.
I put my hand on hers, "I am so sorry." I said.
She looked at me, "I understand. Don't think that I did not understand for a second."
"Where do we go from here?" I asked Dani.
"We will figure it out. I promise. But can we just enjoy tonight? I want to forget about everything except you right now."
"I agree." I said.
