soph pov 9:29 pm
"WHY ARE YOU HERE??????" i open the door to see my brother standing there. " AND WHY ARE YOU WEARING A PUBLIX UNIFORM????"
"ok calm down sophie, first of all, mom said i could crash here for a few days since you are going to school later, and i think the publix uniform should be clear, it looks better than your tank top and shorts anyway." he says, in his sarcastic tone that i've had the pleasure of not hearing for like a whole month after he moved out of the house.
I turn around to see that mar had already gone upstairs. She' s good at taking signals, like everything else she does.
I turn my attention back to my brother, " so you're saying that my lazy brother got hired at a publix?? i would've never seen that coming." i say to him. "okay enough with the slander." he says. his eyes flicker upstairs and look back down to me. " who's the girl?" he says with a smirk on his face.
i'm pretty sure he's caught on to my lesbian thing. Every time "boys" were ever brought up, i'm sure he paid attention to how uncomfortable i am during those talks at the dinner table.
i bring my tone down to a whisper as i give him a stare. " that's marnie, and you better not say anything to her!" "woah okay chill, i guess i hit a nerve then?" he says, smiling now. that fucking evil smile of his. " look, just - i don't know yet! so don't say anything, got it? also you can sleep on the couch."
" so you can sleep in your room with your- i put my hand over his mouth. " be quiet!" "okay chilll"
marnie's pov 10:00 pm
i can hear soph and her apparent brother bickering back downstairs. She told me she had a brother before, but she doesnt talk about him often. he seems like the typical annoying older brother. i've kept my earphones in because i respect her privacy, but i lowkey wanna know what they're talking about.
plus they are defintely louder than they think. i take out my headphones and pause my mitski.
" so you can sleep in your room with your-" then i can hear soph shushing him. Are they talking about me? i listen harder.
" it's not my fault you have a crush on you friend-" " OH MY GOD PLEASSE STOP SHE'S GONNA HEAR YOUU
HOLY SHIT DOES SHE HAVE A CRUSH ON ME????/ I MIGHT JUST DIE like litterally. and the fact that soph is embarassed is adorableeee.. but wait.. what if they arent talking about me and soph just doesnt want me to hear??? now i don't know anymore...
" okay sophie ill leave, love youuu" i hear him say. " love you too,, now get out." she says pushing him out. " I'LL BE BACK FOR MORE!" he says, exiting the house. Ok im gonna put my headphones on and pretend i didn't hear their convo, also i think i might try giving soph some signs and maybe she will see! yeah good idea!
soph pov 10:13 pm
now that i've finally finished that conversation with my god awful brother, im gonna go upstairs and make sure mar didn't hear that. i would be toast if she did.
as i walk up the stairs and look into my room, i see mar sitting on my bed with her headphones in. whew i guess she didn't hear us then! what a relief.
mar pov
i take out my headphones. "welcome back to your room soph." i say with a chuckle. " yeah really." she says. " so what did you and your brother talk about? you seem stressed." i say with a frown.
" noo it's just that my brother is really annoying." she sighs. " do you want me to massage your shoulders?" i say with a grin. " i mean if you want to?" she says, raising a brow. " okayyy" i say, as i get behind her. i move her hair off her shoulders, and i can also see her neck, and now i'm blushing at the fckn thought of kissing it.
soph pov
why did she offer to massage my shoulders? i automatically stop thinking after i feel her hands push my hair off my back.
she softly starts to run her fingers around my shoulders, places her thumbs on the sides of my neck and gently kneads the area. while she does this, i notice her wrapping her legs around my waist. is she trying to kill me??
her hands are warm, and she's a lot better at massaging than i imagined.
"feel better yet?" she asks, breaking the silence. " i think i am, thank you." " anytime" she says with a grin. kjldskjldfskjldsfkjldfskjladfskjldsakjldfsakjlkjldsfkljdskljshes so cute
"i'm getting tired, aren't you?" i ask. i lowkey wanna get away with cuddling her again. "yeah, do you wanna listen to one of my playlists with me?" she asks. i'm not that into music, but she really likes it. i do listen like every few days, but mostly only the playlists mar makes me. i think it's really sweet that she makes them for me.
"here, take this earbud". she says, handing me the opposite earbud to a wireless pair. I take the earbud and place it into my ear. "okay im gonna start the playlist." "okie!"
i lay down, the headphones are turned down to like 4, so we can hear eachother clearly. i listen to the song and then i realise... she put a girl in red song on. *i dont wanna be your friend i wanna kiss your lips* i hear this and wonder if mar put this song on on purpose.
i turn over and see mar, she seems like she's thinking. " hey", she whispers. " hey" i whisper back, smiling. "can i ask you a question?" she asks. " fire away."
"can we cuddle?" wha... did she just actually ask that? what kind of question.. " ahhh i'm sorry i didn't mean t- " "yes." did i really just say that? go me ig
"come here then"
" if you say so"
as i finish my sentence, i feel her wrapping her arms around my waist and place her head on my chest. help she's so cute wtf does she even know what she's doing rn?!?!
i put my arms around her head, i cant believe this is happening rn. i play with her hair while i can feel her breath on my chest.
i place my had on her neck and we fall asleep together.
I'm a homosexual.
