7 : You Are Perfect

Sterling's POV

Elliott never talks about her parents, which made me think that she just didn't have a great relationship with them. I didn't know that her mom passed away when she was young. Seeing the pain on her face when I asked about her made me realize that she didn't talk about her because it is still very painful for her.

My first instinct was to comfort her. I held her in my arms hoping that it would help. She didn't hug me back immediately but eventually held onto me tightly.

"You're just as beautiful as her, you know" I tell her. She pulls back from our hug to face me. "You have her eyes. The most beautiful eyes" I place my hand gently on the side of her face, slowly rubbing my thumb against her cheek.

She stares blankly at me, "I'm sorry Sterling" she says, catching me a bit off guard.

"What are you sorry for?"

"I'm....I'm sorry for getting all emotional right now" she pulls away from me and hides her eye contact from me.

"Hey" I step to her and bring her chin up with my fingers, "Don't hide. You never have to hide your emotions from me"

"Do you want to stay and watch a movie?" she asks, changing the subject.

"Sure" I smile. I don't push anything because I want her to speak about it when she is comfortable and when she wants to.

"Here you decide what we watch while I go and take a quick shower" she says handing me the remote before leaving for the bedroom.

I sit on the couch and scroll through the options. By the time I finally pick a movie Elliott is done showering. I could not decide on what I wanted to watch.

She opens the bedroom door as she is pulling her shirt down. I see a glimpse of her toned stomach. I can't help but to check her out. She is also wearing black sweats. As my eyes make their way up to hers she is smirking. I was definitely caught checking her out. With the way she just came out of that bedroom I think anyone would be checking her out too.

"Did you pick a movie?" she asks as she sits down next to me.

"Um...yeah" I reply. My focus is still only on her. "Fuck the movie" I climb on top of her. Straddling her waist.

My lips immediately land on hers. I cup her face to pull her to me. Her hands go to my waist pulling my lower body in. Her soft lips feel so good with mine. As our lips move more in sync hers slightly part, giving me the opportunity to slip my tongue in. I begin to grind my hips against her. We both begin to let out soft moans.

The more I grind the more I start to feel something against me. I pull away and look down. I can see a bulge in her pants. One that I never noticed before. But I've also never been on top of her like this. I look back up at Elliott and see a worried expression.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. It's just that you are on top of me and your lips feel really good and you started grinding-"

"Are you intersex?" I ask, stopping her rambling.

"H-How. Most people don't guess that first" she replies. "I swear that I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how you were going to react. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier"

"Elliott stop apologizing" I give her a soft kiss.

"You're okay with it?"

"Of course I am. Why would I not be?"

"Oh. It's just that in the past I have not gotten all good reactions"

"I like you for who you are. Who you are as a person is more important to me than the body part you have" I let her know. Don't get me wrong if she was a man that would not work considering I am a lesbian, but she isn't a man.

"Also my ma and sister are intersex"

"Wait really?" she asks with some surprise on her face.

"Yeah. We all thought that my sister was a boy when she was born" I let out a small laugh thinking back on it.

"My parents thought the same thing. My father really wanted a boy" she says with sadness. I have never met Elliott's father but from just this expression I know that he does not treat her well.

"That makes a lot more sense now" she says, drawing me out of my thought. "You and your sister are a perfect blend of your moms and I didn't know how that could be with a donor"

"Have you never met any other intersex people?"

"No. I honestly thought it wasn't that common. And I was also raised to hide it. My father thought that it would be better to not let people know"

"You should never hide yourself. Don't let anyone make you hide who you are, especially because who you are is amazing" my parents always told me and my siblings the same thing. Never hide yourself because of someone. Never let anyone make you hide because of their insecurities.

"You are perfect" Elliott whispers over my lips as she looks up at me. I lean my forehead down to rest on hers. Both of our eyes on each other.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" she asks. I was not expecting her to ask that. Her question brings a smile to my face. I know we only started dating two months ago, but every single date has been perfect. I think about her so much throughout the day and every time we are together I am happy.

"Yes, of course" I answered, causing her to smile back before kissing me.

My smile slowly begins to fade once we pull apart. By my reaction her smile also begins to fade.

"What's wrong?" she asks with some concern.

"Well now that we are officially together that means that you have to meet my family. You have to meet my parents"

"Okay" she smiles. "Your parents seem to like me already and so do your aunts"

"Yeah but they like you as an employee. Not as my girlfriend"

"Oh. Do you not want them to meet me?" she asks. I can tell she was hurt a bit by my words which I hate that I made her feel like that.

"No no no. I want to tell everyone that you are my girlfriend. That you are mine. It's not you, it's them. My family can be a bit overprotective. And by a bit I mean crazy overprotective. I just don't want them to scare you away"

Elliott starts to sit up, her arms wrapping around my waist tighter. "I'm not going anywhere," she smiles softly. "Let them ask anything they want or make me do whatever they want. I will do it if it means being with you"

"Okay, but I did warn you" I laugh. "Are you free this Saturday?"

"Yes I am"

"Perfect. Me and my family are having a small get together so I can introduce you then"

"Can't wait," she smiles.

"Speaking of can't wait," I smirk down at her and slightly bite my lower lip. "Where were we?"

"I think you had your tongue down my throat" she smirks before reconnecting our lips.

For the rest of the night we end up making out. Elliott said that she didn't want to move too fast and I respected that. Don't get me wrong I was ready to fully hook up with her, to have all of her, but if she wants to take things slow then I am good with that.

After a hot make out session we decided to actually watch a movie. We both needed to cool down. Half way through the movie however Elliott ended up falling asleep. We were cuddled up on the couch. She was lying behind me while I laid on top of her between her legs. My back against her chest as her arms wrapped around me. I didn't want to wake her up and ended up falling asleep myself with how warm she felt.

I want to shout to the world that she is mine. That Eliott is my girlfriend. So why is the thought of my family meeting her making me so nervous. In the back of my mind I know that they will all love her because she is everything that my parents want for us to have when it comes to relationships, but I know that to them no one is going to be perfect enough for their children.

Please let this go well.
