A pink love (Lesbian story)

3- The Date

Chapter 3

"So what do you do?" Ara asked, her eyes travelling every movement Lima made. Every time she tucked a stray hair behind her ear, a new one fell out from the other side of her face. Arandes watched mesmerized at the stubborn strand of dark brown hair.  Until she heard Lima clear her throat and looked up to find her grinning at Ara.

"So as I was saying, I'm a geriatric nurse," Ara put her hands behind her head as she listened to Lima speak. They walked around different streets, lamp lights flickering slightly across the many groups of people that they passed. Romantic couples, a happy drunken group of a friends, businessmen, drug addicts and a few homeless people.

"What about you?" Lima asked, turning her head towards Ara, who just shrugged."I work some night shifts at a publishing company," Which wasn't a lie.

"Oh nice. What about family?"

"One younger sister and my mother. What about you?"

"Orphaned only child," Lima said, but then quickly turned around to stare at Ara, gauging for her reaction. She rarely, if ever, told anyone anything about her life or past, but with this blonde beauty, everything came spilling out of her.

"I'm sorry, if it consoles you, I've never met my father albeit my sister and I are fully related," Lima nodded and found herself very relaxed around Ara. Then she looked down at her watch and her eyes widened.

"Oh shoot, I have to get back, my friends are probably dead drunk and I have the keys to the apartment,"

"It's okay, I'm going in the same direction. Do you want me to walk back with you?"

"Sure, why not, if we are going the same way..." Ara grabbed a hold of Lima's hand and intertwined her fingers before Lima could release a peep of protest. By the time they reached the club, Lima's face was bright red with laughter and her hand was comfortably clammy. Ara pulled their hands to her mouth and kissed Lima's before writing her phone number on it.

"Call me," She whispered, then she kissed Lima on the forehead and broke apart their hands and walked off, the opposite direction of the club.

"Wait! I thought you were headed in this direction?" Ara grinned.

"I lied," She waved at Lima, who blushed but waved back at her retreating back.

"Ooh who was that babe? You cheating?!?" Lima quickly turned to a very drunk and red faced Korey. Jane, on the other hand seemed sober and a bit sour.

"I can't really cheat if I'm not with anyone," Lima ignored the first half of the question. Korey's reply was waggling her eyebrows then promptly puking on the street.

"I shouldn't have gone out. Stupid decision," Lima raised her brows at that, doubting her friend meant that.

"She may have actually drank too much, Where were you? We were waiting for about 30 minutes," Jane said, her tone accusatory.

"Sorry, I kind of lost track of time," "Yeah Janie, stop being a bitch, Lima deserves to have fun too, albeit shes always sober but still," Jane blushed.

"Sorry babe, I'm just kinda worked up,"

"Yup yup, Janie met up with Clyde, who once again had a new girl at his side, but kept flirting with Janie," Clyde was one of Jane's exes.

"That cheating son of a bitch," Jane muttered and Lima only laughed, deferring her usually jealous antics.

"It's okay, you should've made him jealous," Lima was surprised at her own comment. She thought she was in love with Jane.

"Maybe..." Jane made a face but shrugged, "What about you? Who was that girl?" Lima felt a blush through her bronze skin.

"Her name's Ara, we met while you two were having fun. She's pretty nice," Lima was glad they were outside, the dark night hid her probably bright red face.

"Did you want to fuck her?" Korey slurred, earning scandalized looks from both Lima and Jane.

"KOREY?! That's disgusting, you know Lima's a virgin." Korey let out a hefty snort. Lima rolled her eyes as they finally reached their apartment. Opening the door, they all walked into their respective rooms and laid down. Lima lay in her bed and replayed what Korey and Jane had said.

Sure, she was a virgin, but that didn't mean she had desires as well. She had known she was a lesbian ever since she had reached high school and noticed that her feelings for Jane were way more than friendship. At first she had freaked out, feeling out of place whenever the other friends would talk about boys and how attractive they were. Whereas, Lima could only think about the girls in the locker room and how she had to stare less by counting the time. Korey had figured it out early on and had always teased her, Jane also found out by college and had only grinned without a second glance. It was also at that moment that Lima knew she was wholeheartedly in love with Jane, who was as straight as a steel flagpole. Nothing had hurt more than being in love with someone who was as dense and clueless as Jane. But Lima closed off her emotions and stayed content with loving from afar, until recently. When the sex dreams started. As a virgin with little to no experience, they had freaked her out. She had read erotica based on lesbian sex and love, but they had seemed sweet and fluffy compared to what she had recently imagining. Lima slumped into her bed and sighed as the cool sheets caressed her heated skin. She would have to prepare herself for the sex dreams again. But before she knew it, her eyes dropped and she slipped into unconsciousness.

"Nurse Santiago, please refrain from drooling on the counter," Lima quickly jumped out of her haze and wiped her mouth.

"Sorry Dr. Dharkvali, just didn't get enough sleep last night," The tiny Indian women only nodded her head and picked up the charts that Lima handed her.

"It's quite alright love, life happens," Dharkvali walked off, her blue eyes scanning the charts and looking for her patients. Lima let out a heavy groan, she had not gotten any sleep, the moment she had closed her eyes, she was shaken awake by Jane, who then promptly threw up on her covers. She spent the night cleaning vomit and making sure neither of them drowned in the tub as she showered them. The laundry was started and Lima felt drained as se worked during the night but persisted. After that, they both dragged themselves into Lima's bed as she got ready for work, leaving behind breakfast and gallons of water next to the bed.

"Maybe you should take a nap in the on call room. No one's in there right now and I doubt anyone would mind. If they do I'll cover your shift," Lima looked at her pregnant and friendly co worker with a tired smile.

"You sure you wouldn't mind?" Donna let out a giggle.

"Of course not, you look like you need it as well," Lima gave a slight nod as she trudged toward the on call room, her eyes slowly beginning to droop. She collapsed on the bottom bunk and quickly fell asleep.
