HER SISTER (18+) (GXG)

Real Talks & Phone Calls

"I just feel so guilty when I'm with you," I admitted, knowing that I was actively lying to Mya.

Mili nodded, taking a sip of her drink, "The promise?" she questioned, referring to Mya and I's promise.

"Yeah, but I just—I don't know, it's like I feel guilty, but at the same time, I don't know if I'm ready to tell her," I said, expressing how conflicted I felt over the situation, "I just want to make sure this is solid—that we both know what we want."

It was very hard for me to even speak the words aloud, knowing that I was basically saying I wanted to continue to keep this from Mya until we could figure this all out.

Mili suddenly motioned me over, causing me to slide down the couch, "Honestly speaking, I don't think it's a bad idea," she said, easily agreeing with me as her arm instinctively slid around my waist, "And I don't think you're in the wrong for wanting this all to be figured out before you tell Mya."

I let out a relieved sigh as I leaned into her side, "Yeah? Because I feel like a really bad friend."

Mili pulled me in closer to her, "You're not a bad friend, Ati—although, you're definitely bad with nicknames," she joked, easily lightening the mood.

"Um, I'm amazing with nicknames, Lani," I argued back, playfully nudging her.

Mili only laughed, easily sending my thoughts into a frenzy.

It was so indescribably beautiful.

"In all seriousness, we'll figure it out—it'll all be fine," Mili assured me, pressing a soft kiss to my temple.

I pursed my lips, "It'll be fine," I whispered mostly to myself.

Mili hummed, "When the time comes, we can sit her down together and explain it to her—I really don't think she'll be too upset, but she might need a moment to process it all," she explained, and it made me feel somewhat better knowing that she knew Mya better than me.

Yet, the entire situation still wasn't predictable. Even Mili couldn't predict how Mya would react to all of this.

"I just hope she doesn't hate me for lying," I admitted, and almost instantly I could hear how weak my voice grew.

And Mili noticed it too.

Especially when she pulled back from me to meet my eyes.

"I don't think anyone could possibly hate you," Mili said, gently resting her hand on the side of my neck as she angled my head up to get a better view of me, "She might be mad at first, but I genuinely think she'll move past it, especially with the right explanation."

I frowned, "I really hope so," I said, knowing that it was a very unpredictable situation.

Mili leaned down to me, pressing a tender kiss to my lips that I easily reciprocated.

Her lips were so soft and comforting as they moved against mine so perfectly.

Mili pulled back slightly, "Your smile is too pretty to be frowning like that," she said, easily causing my lips to twitch up into a smile.

Mili easily pressed another brief kiss to my lips before she pulled away, easily reciprocating my smile.

"So beautiful," she murmured, glancing down at my lips as my smile managed to grow wider.

I bashfully looked away from her, "Thank you," I whispered, feeling so shy from her compliments that I thought I might explode.

Mili only guided me back to her, "Don't hide from me," she said as my face burned with the fiercest heat.
