Through You - Reneé Rapp

I love you

As Reneé woke up next to Natasha, a gentle warmth spread through her chest as she admired the peaceful expression on her face. The soft morning light danced across Natasha's features, casting delicate shadows on her skin, and Reneé couldn't help but feel a surge of affection welling up within her.

But as she lay there, lost in her thoughts, a nagging question tugged at the corners of Reneé's mind. Was it too soon to consider Natasha her girlfriend? They had only recently embarked on this journey together, and while their connection was undeniable, Reneé couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty that lingered in the back of her mind.

With a furrowed brow, Reneé quietly pondered the question, weighing the depth of her feelings against the complexities of their situation. On one hand, she felt a profound feeling for Natasha—a feeling that seemed to grow stronger with each passing day. But on the other hand, she worried about moving too quickly, about risking their friendship for something more.

Lost in her thoughts, Reneé turned to gaze at Natasha once more, her heart fluttering at the sight of her sleeping peacefully beside her. In that moment, she realized that no matter what label they chose to put on their relationship, what truly mattered was the connection they shared—the bond that had brought them together in the first place.

As Natasha woke up, she found Reneé looking at her with a fondness that made her heart flutter. With a playful grin, Natasha couldn't resist teasing her.

"Hey there, sleepyhead," Natasha said, her voice laced with amusement. "Enjoying the view?"

Reneé's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but she couldn't help but laugh at Natasha's teasing tone. "Maybe a little" she admitted, her smile brightening the room.

Natasha chuckled, reaching out to playfully ruffle Reneé's hair. "Well, lucky for you, the view's not going anywhere" she teased, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

With a playful swat, Reneé pretended to scold Natasha, but her laughter gave her away. "You're impossible" she said, her eyes dancing with amusement.

As Reneé asked Natasha what she wanted to do that day, Natasha's mind buzzed with possibilities. She loved the idea of spending the day together even if it was just them at home.

"Hmm, what do I want to do today?" Natasha mused, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Well, we could go for a run, or maybe check out that new art exhibit downtown. Or we could just stay in and have a cozy day at home, watching our favorite movies and cooking something nice."

Reneé listened with a smile, considering each suggestion with thoughtful consideration. "I like the idea of a cozy day at home" she said, her voice filled with warmth. "But maybe we could start with brunch at that cute café down the street? I heard they have the best pancakes in town."

Natasha's eyes lit up at the suggestion, her stomach rumbling in anticipation. "That sounds perfect I just need a shower first" she said, her heart swelling with gratitude for the simple pleasures of spending time together. ''Would you like to come with me?''

As Natasha hesitantly extended the invitation to shower together, a blush colored her cheeks, betraying her nervousness. Reneé, sensing Natasha's shyness, smiled warmly and accepted the invitation without hesitation.

"Sure, I'd love to," Reneé said, her voice gentle and reassuring.

With a shared smile, Natasha led Reneé into the bathroom, the air thick with anticipation and the promise of intimacy. As they undressed, their movements slow and deliberate, a comfortable silence settled between them, punctuated only by the soft sound of running water.

Stepping into the shower together, they allowed the warm water to go over their bodies. Natasha reached for the shampoo, her fingers gentle as she lathered Reneé's hair, massaging her scalp with care and tenderness.
