Unconditionally (Lesbian Story)

1

"Katy!"

"Alex!"

Two distinct voices call is from different directions as we stand on the red carpet together.

Katy and I look at each other and laugh neither of us is sure how they want us to look at them both at once.

It's always like this when we are out together now. The press going mad trying to get photos of us together. It's not even official that we're dating yet we haven't confirmed anything but we don't hide the fact that we are as close as we are. It's only been three months though and her parents still don't like the fact that we are together so we are as respectful of their feeling as we can be without making each other feel unimportant.

She looks at me tilting her head she's had enough now. I love showing her off though even if no one really knows that's what I'm doing. Being photo'd with Katy is such a buzz for me.

She looks amazing tonight though it would be a waste not to have the whole world see her. I'm a little biased though I think she looks amazing in anything and tonight is no different. It seems though that half of the paparazzi camped out her agree too as flash after flash goes off.

She nudges me in the direction of the building and towards one of the many interviewers covering tonight's award ceremony.

"Katy, Alex a quick word?"

Now it's my turn to feel uncomfortable I hate talking to people. I know for someone in my line of work it sounds silly but put me in front of fifteen thousand people and I'm happy one on one with someone with a microphone and I'm lost. Katy knows this and I really wish I hadn't lingered for just one more photo now this is my punishment.

I try my puppy dog eyes but she just smiles evilly at me and turns to give her full attention to the guy with the microphone.

"Ladies what a surprise seeing you two together."

"She follows me around a lot."

Katy looks at me and smiles and I try not to glare she's enjoying this far too much.

"Well you ladies always look amazing together so why not."

Oh thank you annoying man with a mike. The look on Katy's face is priceless right now and I want to high five him. I have no idea what the meaning behind the comment was and nor does she thing is I'm not that bothered the man speaks the truth we look absolutely amazing together.

"Don't we just." I agree before the silence gets too awkward. He starts going on about the awards Katy and I have been nominated for tonight and I try my best to make it short and sweet whilst all the time I have one eye one my girlfriend. She looks so beautiful when she's as confused as hell and right now is no different. Luckily these things never last more than a couple of minutes and it's time for the next victim to answer questions that really have no point yet do it all in the name of entertainment.

The moment we are inside I pull her to one side. I can tell that his comment has thrown her I'm not sure why though. We've talked a lot about being open about our relationship. She has said she's not ashamed of me or us and I have taken her word for it but she knows I won't be her dirty little secret.

"Talk to me."

Were in a pretty secluded corner and with no one watching us my natural instincts to be touching Katy kick and I touch her cheek running my fingers over her neck till I'm holding her shoulders. Her smile gets me in the pit of the stomach like always and I pray that never stops.

She runs her fingers over my hair before wrapping her arms around me. Normally when I've been around Katy for about two minutes I want to be making love to her. It's something that I hope we get a handle on and something that I hope never changes all at once. Right now though it's distracting me and I have to concentrate and remember that there's a conversation going on and she hasn't answered me yet. Just when I think I'm going to have to ask her again she answers me.

"Do you think he was making a general comment or do you think people are working it out?"

"Well he was right we do look amazing together."

She pulls me tighter kissing my temple. "I know we do baby and I'm not ashamed of you if that's what you're thinking. I don't want people telling half-truths or making stuff about us is all. What we have is special and I don't want people spoiling it with their words."

Fuck it she's not allowed to say stuff like that when I'm in her arms and we're in public. One minute we're having a conversation next thing I have my lips on hers and my tongue is battling hers for dominance of the kiss. I love kissing Katy I haven't even started to get used to the feeling yet. Once things calm down I start to map out her mouth I've done it time and time before but it never gets old.

After a moment we both realise where we are she pulls away but doesn't move she just looks at me accusingly.

"Sorry."

"Don't kiss me like that when we can't do anything else." She pouts.

"Sorry." I smile kissing her gently on the lips. She pulls away totally this time muttering something about me not really playing fair.

"I'm going to get drinks you're only having water." She tells me as she reaches her hand to my bottom lip and gently wipes. Her lipstick really isn't my colour.

"You two finished making out?" Mia asks as I walk over to join the rest of our group. She has an evil twinkle in her eye right now this girl is trouble. Katy has introduced me to all her friends and I have to admit that they are a pretty amazing bunch they have taken me in to their ranks without much fuss.

"For now but we have another session pencilled in for later."

"Let me know nearer the time In case I gag."

I'm too busy exchanging banter with Mia for a moment to notice that Jane is trying to give me the eyes I don't turn around and see what she's trying to tell me till Lewis is near enough stood behind me.

"Lewis."

An awkward silence descends on the group as everyone tries not to look at him.

"Lex." He smiles his charming smile and I realise I haven't missed him at all. We haven't seen each other since that day in Manchester and I haven't thought about him. Katy occupies near enough every waking moment and talk of the devil she chooses this moment to come back. She's looking so pleased with herself right now as she carries some funky looking cocktail and a bottle of water. The moment she catches sight of Lewis though the smile falters and she makes eye contact with me. I try my best to reassure her but I know her mind is working overtime right now. 

"Lewis."

"Katy."

She comes to stand by my side both drinks have been lost as she wraps her arm around my waist. I pull away from her a little I know right know she's not being affectionate she's claiming me and I'm not sure I like it. I take a side long look at her and instantly forgive her I can see the emotions running through her and I'm instantly grateful that she's not hiding from me just because Lewis is here.

"You both know Cher." He motions to Cher Lloyd standing next to him and I try not to curl my lip. My god I hate that girl and he knows it. I met Cher on the X Factor she was one of the contestants thankfully not in my group she one of Cheryl's and we just never hit it off. Then there was the big bust up with her and Cheryl and there was no coming back after that.

I try to swallow my dislike for her and be happy for Lewis I've found the love of my life so it's only fair that he's happy too. Talking of the Love of my life I chance a glance at Katy who's looking Cher up and down. I can tell exactly what she's thinking, 'Your Ex is hotter and all mine.' I elbow her in the ribs and she gives me her well you know I'm right shrug.

"Cher nice to see you again."

"You too."

We both lie and she moves closer to Lewis holding his hand. I want to tell her she's welcome to my sloppy seconds but I don't have to she's not worth it I have Katy and that is enough for nothing else to matter right now.

"You two look good together." Katy smiles and reaches for my hand "We have to find our seats." She tells me squeezing gently.

"Ok baby." I'm so thankful for the save she's getting a special treat later.

"Nice to see you Lew." I smile at him. "You take good care of him." I tell Cher as we walk away.
