Teach Me

Her

   "Hello?" Cate answered. "Cate, I don't need to think about it. I want to give this a shot. I want to..." Cate stopped her. "Shhh shhh... Y/N, look out your window" she laughed. She looked out of her window and saw Cate, throwing pebbles at it.

   "Oh my god!!!" She laughed. "You're SUCH a teenager! Oh my god!!!" She laughed. "I thought you were going to give me time!!" Y/N laughed. "Fuck that! I'm coming up!" Cate hung the phone up. Y/N opened the window up.

   "Cate!!!" She whisper yelled. "Cate!!! Don't!! I'll let you in!!! Cate!!!" She kept trying to yell quietly. Cate of course did not listen and scaled the trellis. She scaled the fucking trellis. She even snapped off a piece of the lattice, in true blue rom com fashion. "Oh my god!!" Y/N whisper yelled, as Cate almost lost her footing.

   Finally Cate made it to her window and with Y/N's help, she entered her room and her parents house. "I've always wanted to do that" Cate laughed. "I feel so cool" Cate smiled a dorky, crooked smile. "Oh my god, you're crazy! Do you know that?" Y/N and Cate laughed so hard they cried. Then there it was.

   As their laughter died down, they looked into each others eyes. Y/N looked into Cates icy blue orbs. They were more serious than before. They spoke what words couldn't. They were honest, and loving. They were Y/N's favorite things to look at, she just realized that.

   Y/N looked at Cates lips and Cate, hers. Then they leaned in, slowly closing the gap between them. The breeze blew through their hair, it was cool but not cold. The air smelled like rain and Cates perfume. They could hear the crickets and the sound of the house settling. A single floorboard creaked as Cate leaned into
Y/N.

   Y/N could feel Cates breath, warm and calm on her lips. Their lips hovered over each others for a while. Cate pressed her pillowy, soft, warm, wet lips into Y/N's. They were strong and loving. They glided across Y/N's over and over. The kiss found traction, as their lips adjusted to the foreign terrain.

   Once their lips found their way, they practiced over and over for what felt like 5 minutes. Their heads felt light, and this moment was electric. Y/N's body felt calm, yet so unbelievably alive. She was suddenly aware of every nerve ending in her body.

   It felt as if... in some kind of way, she was just born...Like a Christian, who finds god. Then she suddenly realized, exactly what her father was talking about. She trusted her like he did, her mom. She would choose her over god, just like her dad would her mom.

   She wasn't calling her god, she wasn't saying she was "better" per say either. She was simply saying that between the two, it'd be her she'd choose. She knew god was this perfect, all seeing being... this idea everyone chased. She knew he was special and his worth. He had been pounded into her head since day she was born, of course she knew!

   She knew all of it but... she knew Cate. She knew her and she loved her and this.... This feeling... it was greater than any love of all. It WAS god in a sense... it was... that feeling people talk about. That spiritual connection, to whatever you believe in. This was that. This was holy. It was precious. Faith. Her.

   As they pulled away, they just stood there, holding one another. "I want this, Cate. I want you..." she caressed Cates face, softly. "I don't want a fling. I don't want sex... well, I'm not against it..." they both laughed. "But what I'm trying to say is... I want you. I want intimacy, a future, I want a lifetime, I want you. You are that for me and I want to try... I want to give this a shot" Y/N smiled at her.

   "I have faith. I've never had it before but I have it in you. I have it... in us" she rested her forehead on Cates. "I told my dad that I'm gay tonight. He already knew" Cate looked at her wide eyed and proud of her. "He also knew about you..." she shook her head. "Crazy how people know these things before you do" she laughed.

   "Well, I think I always knew... but... these people make it obvious. You know? They say what our hearts are too afraid to..." she kissed Cates cheek. Cate looked at her and smiled. "What do you say?" Y/N grabbed her hand. "We'll never own each other and I wouldn't try... but will you be my girlfriend, Cate? Will you give this thing a shot?" She grabbed her other hand too.

   "Y/N, I would love to be your girlfriend" Cate smiled, widely. "This is crazy!" Cate laughed. "All of it!" Y/N shook her head. "And that's why I know it has a chance in hell..." Cate smirked.
