Fade Into You

Woman

"So ... how's it going then?" Scarlet asked as the three of us (me, Scarlet and Emily) sat down in front of the TV, reruns of Friends on in the background.

"She's amazing," I smiled, looking into my food, "we haven't been on a proper date yet but I'm sure we will."

"Really?" Emily asked, "it's been a good few months."

"Yeah," I nodded in agreement, "but we've been really busy."

Emily and Scarlet both exchanged a look and nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything more.

"What?" I asked.

"I don't- it's nothing," Scarlet poorly lied.

"I think what Scarlo wants to say is that; me and her have been dating for the same amount of time and we've been on countless dates, I've met her friends and she's met mine," Emily explained, furrowing her brows, "what are Lizzie's friends like?"

"Well, I haven't met them yet but we spend a lot of time in bed when we're together so-"

"So maybe you're just in the honeymoon phase," Scarlet agreed.

"Exactly," I nodded, "it's her first gay relationship so I agreed we would take it slowly and um Idontthinkshescomeouttothem."

"What was that?" Emily asked, wrapping her free arm around Scarlet's body and looking at me intensely.

"They don't know she's seeing a woman, do they?" Scarlet pieced together, "she hasn't told them she likes girls."

I hummed and nodded, "I don't think they know she's seeing ... anyone."

"Oh," Emily and Scar both said together.

"Yeah," I mumbled, "it's okay though, we're taking it slow."

They both nodded.

"Yeah," I repeated to myself quietly, stabbing my fork into my pasta slightly aggressively.

"Have you asked her on a date?" Scarlet pushed.

"Yeah," I said once more, my phone dinging in my lap, "talk of the devil," I beamed.

Lizzie
Come over? x

"She asked if I want to come over," I told them, my eyes still on my phone.

"Y/N, does this feel like she's only kind of asking you for sex?" Emily replied.

"It's a mutual activity," I said a little too quickly.

Scarlet hummed and nodded, "do you have sex every time you see each other?"

"Do you guys?" I threw the question back.

They looked at each other, smiled and nodded before looking back at me.

"We talk as well, but yeah, we do have sex pretty much every time we see each other," I confirmed, "everyone does that at the start of a relationship."

"I suppose," Scarlet agreed, "has she ever come here?"

I shook my head, "she lives on her own, so I guess it's nice for her to have someone else there."

They both nodded again.

"I'm going over," I decided with a smile.

Y/N
On my way x

"Okay, I'll be back in like ... 12 or so hours," I beamed.

"12 hours?" Emily laughed, "that's a long shag."

"She'll stay till the morning," Scarlet replied, "Lizzie usually feeds her and then kicks her out."

"You say that like she's just a hook-up," I reasoned, putting my empty bowl in the kitchen and grabbing my bag for the night.
