^ Let's pretend this is Evie ;) ^
As soon as Vada got back to her house, she ran directly to her room. Disregarding everything around her as millions of thoughts race through her head.
Am I overreacting? Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion. I don't want get hurt. In fact I didn't even want to fall in love with her but that smile. That damn smile. How could I not.
The last thing Vada wanted to do was mess up something because of a misunderstanding. But again her trust issues always get the best of her.

Mia couldn't refuse such a nice gesture from Evie. Her guilt only emerged after she gave the girl her address.
"It's fine... she's just giving me soup for crying out loud." She thought in attempt to make herself feel better about the situation.
Which indeed, did not help.
Hearing a dull knock she walked to the door forcing a fake smile on her face.
Opening the door she couldn't help but notice the small bouquet of flowers and container she assumed was the soup.
"Stop you did not have to do this." Mia gaped while meeting the brunettes eyes.
"That's correct. But I wanted to." Evie said pushing her arms out with a half smile.
Mia accepted the girls offerings and without a second thought invited her in. They made small talk for an hour while sipping on some wine.
"RIGHT? Pickles and peanut butter? Together? Absolutely disgusting." Mia exclaimed making the other girl chuckle.
They continued laughing and talking until a mutual, slightly awkward silence developed. Evie stood up and grabbed her things implying she was going to head out. Mia walked her to the door and they both stopped standing a foot apart.
"Thank you again for everything. You've been a huge lifesaver... literally." They both laughed.
Evie admired the girl in front of her wondering if she should make a move. She slowly stepped towards her keeping eye contact. Mia awkwardly rubbed her arm trying to register what was about to happen. Evie slowly grabbed the side of Mia's neck with her thumb resting on her jaw while looking at her lips. Mia stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. Their lips were inches apart when Mia gently pushed Evie back shaking her head.
"I can't," Mia whispered.
Evie looked at her wondering what she did wrong.
"I'm in love with someone."
After a few moments of silence, Evie responds with "I understand."
They say their goodbyes followed by Mia shutting the door.
At this point, she knew exactly what she needed to do. After searching for her phone, she nervously messaged Vada.
Vada please respond to me.
After waiting a few minutes with no response, she decided to try and call. But nothing.
