If You're Fine, Then I'm Fine

Chapter Fifteen

Akia's pov

Me and Leanna escape the crowd. Swerving in and out people to get to the treehouse. We walk down past the fountain, on the dirt path, then turn down between two houses towards a tall tree. There's the treehouse.

We climb up the ladder to get to the top platform. There are a few pillows and blankets already cutely set up. She sits down so elegantly. Effortlessly beautiful. My dad says I shouldn't fall for her. "She is so stupid and would just try to get us captured. She probably thinks you are a murderer too." He has told me, but he doesn't know her like I do. Yes, that was really cheesy, and yes, it hasn't even been a week, but anyone could tell that we both have a lot of feelings for each other.

I lay next to her, looking up at her face while she stares into the distance.

"It is so beautiful here. The view is just amazing," She says.

I pause, looking at her features. Her beautiful hazel eyes, her small red lips, her soft chubby cheeks that hide her eyes when she smiles, her amazing brown hair that rests on her face ever so gently. Everything about her I love, "Yes, I can't find anything I hate,"

She glances down at me. I don't move. My eyes stay on hers. She lays down, our eyes still locked.

"Mm. You like me, right?" She asks.

I smile, "No way,"

She chuckles, then shuffles towards me slightly. I lift her head with one hand then place my other arm under her neck, then resting her head back down. She turns her head from looking at me, she now looks above us. A wooden roof, nailed together by her and her friend's. I know this because all their initials are carved into the corner of the roof. It's cute.

I wish my dad never ran away and killed my mum so I could have a had a friend group like this. Maybe I'd be in this one. I wish I never went with him. I wish little me knew he was in the wrong so I could be here. Maybe I would be with Leanna. 

"I know what you said," I admit.

She looks back at me, scrunched up face, "What? When?"

"When you hugged me earlier... before you said 'nothing, never mind!'..."

She doesn't reply. The smile fades from her face. She looks terrified, and sorry.

"I love you too, Leanna,"

The scared face turns into more of a shocked one. Her pale skin blushes slightly.

Because of how she is laying, our faces are extremely close to each other. She breathes out quickly through her nose, as if she was holding it in.

"Really?" She says, sounding serious.

I nod.

She looks at my eyes, then my lips, then my eyes.

I smirk, "So you gonna kiss me yet, or are you too scared?"

She laughs, "Can I kiss you, or are you too scared?"

I laugh, then wiggle my face a little closer to her, "Go ahead,"

She goes to lean in, then hesitates.

I roll my eyes sarcastically, smile, then pull her towards me instead.

What? If she isn't going in first, I am.

Our lips meet, we kiss. The sound of fireworks is in the distance, where the party is, but we ignore it. Right now, she is more important than little sky fires.

I get on top of her, still locked with her lips. I could feel her become shocked as I did, but I was really going at it.

First kiss with a girl? It has to be good.

After a few seconds of a make out I lift off her. Opening my eyes to look at her. She smiles. I smile.

Fuck. Women are just too amazing. Proud lesbian here.

"Damn. You are one aggressive kisser," Leanna says to me.

I quickly get off her and sit in front of her, slightly embarrassed, "Oh, uh, this was my first kiss... was I bad? Sorry,"

"No! No. You were perfect. This was my first proper make out, I've kissed Cora and Carlos before in a game of spin the bottle," She tells me.

I sigh in relief, "Oh thank god, I was scared I ruined the moment or something by getting on you,"

"You'd never ruin the moment, and I liked when you got on top," She says, leaning towards me.

"That sounds wrong,"

"Only if you make it wrong,"

I smirk at her little face. She gets all flustered.

"Bottom," I say under my breath.

She grabs me and tops me this time, "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah," I reply, flipping us over, "Nice try,"

"Fuck you," She says before kissing me again.

This time when we kiss, instead of getting up and talking after, we just lay. She lays on my chest and we look ahead of us where the stars are.

I turn my head to look at her. She doesn't notice so I keep staring.

Leanna is the type of girl that would type in all lowercase. She's the type of girl who cries when she gets mad or yells. She's the type of girl that would buy matching jewellery and never take it off. She's the type of girl I love. She's the type of girl I would date. The type I'd kiss again. And multiple times after. And marry.

Woah- slow down Akia. You ain't no simp, pull it together.

Yeah I love her, so what?

Moments pass of us staring into the distance, watching fireworks go off and listening to the loud music of the party. We got up and danced to a song together. We are now slow dancing, her hands on my shoulders and mine on her waist. We sway to the music and she kisses me again. After a few seconds she lays on my shoulder, still swaying to the music.

"Mi amour, estoy enamorado de ti. como realmente enamorado," She mumbles into my shoulder.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Oh sorry, hablo español cuando estoy cansada,"

"English please,"

She moves her head from my shoulder, "I speak Spanish when I'm tired. I forget how to English,"

"Oh okay, care to translate what you said?"

"What? Oh, uh, no I'm sorry,"

"Okay," I smile at her, "Do you want me to take you back home? You should probably get to sleep,"

"Mhm, take me home, Akia,"

I let go of her, grab her stuff then climb down the ladder after her, making sure she doesn't get hurt.

We get to the ground. She holds my hand and we walk back to her house. We hear noises coming from her mum's room so we sneak through her window.

"Stay? Quédate conmigo. Dormir aquí," She says.

"I can't stay here, my dad will kill us both," I sigh.

She looks up at me, sad, "Okay... See you tomorrow," She kisses me one last time then flops down on her bed, still in her dress.

I close the window quietly then wander back home.

I swerve around houses and trees until I get to the mountain. I climb over and get to my window, a hole covered with a thin piece of fabric. I squeeze through the gap and walk to my wardrobe. I throw my dad's suit on the floor and get into my pyjamas.

"I'm home Akia!" My dad yells from the kitchen.

He went out tonight to do some 'special business' so I went to the party while he did that.

"Hey! I'm tired so I'm heading to bed now," I yell back.

I hear a faint "Okay" from him, then flop down on my bed.

I stare at the ceiling thinking about my day until I drift off to sleep.
