Sometimes life gets weird. You lose hope, then you'll fall down, but then you'll get back up again. Sage did. So hang in there; it gets better, with time.
A short story.

"Morning pooh," Solana mumbled, attempting to wake her girlfriend up out of her sleep by leaving gentle kisses all over her face. She moved Mariah's hair to the side, kissing down her neck to make it behind her ear, which was what finally woke her up.
Mariah reached up to wrap her hand around her neck to stop her, making Solana smile while sitting up. She watched as Mariah rubbed her eyes, letting the slowly adjust to the lighting of their room before she sat up too.
She wasn't really a morning person so it took some time before she started talking, and the two of them started their day together by doing their morning routines, following up with a hot shower.
"He left right before I woke you up. He said he would come back after he showered and stuff." Solana rubbed coconut oil in on her palms, and then lathered it on her feet and ankle.
"Okayyyy not our man spending the night for the first time." She snickered aloud, earning a laugh from Solana since the statement caught her off guard.
"You should've stayed up last night. I put the nani on him." Solana entertained her hysterical ignorance, watching as her mouth fell open in fake shock.
"Ouuu bitch now that's just fake as fuck. You put the pussy that belongs to me, on him? Make me call yo' mama right now." She put her hand on her chest to appear more hurt, then both of them laughed together.
"Bitch you delusional. Like foreal. Seek help." Solana had a smile on her face as she rubbed her neck down with a light amount coconut oil, not too much since she hated when her skin was shiny.
"He know the vibes." Mariah chuckled while throwing away one of her disposable tongue scrapers.
For the last few days the two women had been making jokes with each other about making Sage the third to their relationship. He was just so adorable to them, like in an 'awww', type of way. He was quiet, had manners, overly shy, but still gave off the impression that he stood on business.
They hadn't seen how he acted with other women-or men yet-so they didn't know if his true personality was just being quiet and out of the way. Regardless, he was obviously attractive and neither Mariah or Solana would mind giving him a night of fun. They'd done it before and enjoyed it, but Sage didn't seem like the type to be down for that.
It would be weird to bring it up to him though, especially since most of the time they were completely joking about it. It was just a fun little insider between them.
"What y'all talk about foreal though? Or was he all quiet and awkward and stuff." Mariah sat down on their bed with her towel still wrapped around her body, looking at Solana who stood in their bedroom mirror.
"He wasn't quiet the whole time. He talked to me about you and made me realize something." Her tone changed, making Mariah's eyes trail to meet hers through the mirror.
