Before you... (Norray)

Chapter 11

Emma's POV>
I wake up the next morning, tired but optimistic for the day. I get ready for school per usual. Today I choose to wear a green T-shirt with black overalls layered over top and a pair of white doc martins for shoes.

Once I arrive at school I meet up with Gilda and we chat as we walk down the hall. "Things have been pretty...intense with Norman and Ray right?" Gilda prompts me. "Yeah like really tense, they aren't even on speaking terms. Or sitting at the same table terms." I wait as Gilda spins the lock on her lockers. She shoves her bag into her locker and shuts the door. "Yeah that was awkward yesterday at lunch, I hope they work it out soon," she sighs.

It's true, they won't even sit at the same table.
I get it I guess though. Tough times for the both of them. I hope Norman realizes how stupid it would be to not choose Ray. I hope that they can at least stop at the same table together today.

"Me too Gilda," I agree. I smiles at her "so what movie are we watching tonight?" I ask her. She shrugs "I was thinking that new movie, 'Do Revenge' I've heard it's good!" She exclaims.

The school day finally comes to an end and me and Gilda walk over to her house. Her dog Rocco greets us at the door and her mom follows soon behind with an banana for each of us as a snack. We gladly except the snack "thanks Mrs.Gildas mom!" I smile. The short green haired lady smiled at me as me and Gilda slither off to her room.

We play Mario cart 8 on her switch and decide to play the worldwide online option where you can play against people you don't know. We end up screaming at some Japanese girl and a man from Brazil who keep beating us and then flop back laughing until we can't breathe. I turn onto my right side as the laughing slowly dies and Gilda turns onto her side to face me. Her face is red from laughing and I'd imagine mine is to and we just look at each others eyes like 'wow that was great'.

I study the girls face and I look at her lips then to her eyes again. She realizes this and it's a good thing I'm already red from all of our laughing. I sit up and she does the same as I scoot closer to Gilda. Our legs touch as we sit on the edge of her bed and I slowly move my hand to her thigh. Our eyes connect again, each of us feeling something but a nervousness keeps us from acting on the something.

"Kiss me," Gilda breaks the silence. I open my mouth to respond then shut it. As I lean in just before my lips touch her I smile a bit. Then it happens. It's like a magical moment, something I thought  to be impossible. Something I'm just stuck to daydream about. I lick her bottom lip and she opens her mouth for me. When we pull apart a line of spit connects our mouths. I take one of my hands and tuck a bit of her hair behind her ear so I can better see her face. I smile and we both giggle a little. I rest my head on her shouldn't and she wraps her arm around me.

Truthfully, a while ago soon after that day at the park me and Gilda has kissed. Awkwardly, and it was in the stall of a public bathroom. There we ended up making out a few days later. Wet we're awkwardly dancing around those moments though neither of us knows why.

"We should tell them," I blurt. "Tell them what?" I sit up and hold both of her hands in mine. "About this Gilda," i sigh out "sorry let me take it back a step." I bring one of her hands to my lips and kiss it gently. "Will you please be my girlfriend?" I ask her with a kind smile. Her eyes twinkle at me and she breaks into a huge smile. "Id love that," she tells me. "We should tell them Gilda!"

Gilda's POV>
I looks at the girl, smiling happily. Her orange hair looks brighter then ever today. I want more then anything to say 'yes, we can tell them tomorrow'. I want to make an elaborate plan on how to tell everyone with Emma and to be barley able to contain our excitement about this.

"We can't, not right now." I smile sympathetically at her. "With all that's happening with Norman and Ray we should wait," I explain. Emma pouts a bit "okayyy" she whines.

We end up watching some Disney movies while we cuddle on my bed. The Princess and The Frog and Beauty and The Best play before we call her mom and ask if she can sleep over.

"Mom can I please stay over at Gildas, we already asked her mom and everything." I hear murmuring from the phone and Emma says "yeah, I will." She nods and smiles. "Thanks love you!" She hangs up and Emma and me break out smiling and laughing.

"I fricking love you Gilda," Emma laughs. "I- I love you too," I blush.
