More Than Friends (Lesbian Story)

chapter 3

Renee POV

I woke up in the morning feeling a body pressed close to mine. At first I was slightly alarmed but then I realized it was only Arya. Holy shit, Arya. The kiss last night, oh my god that was confusing and weird. I mean on one hand I had a date with Zack coming up but on the other I was beginning to think I might like Arya. I know I'm into girls but I haven't really told that to anyone yet because I wasn't ready to come out yet. Plus I still kind of liked boys. The thoughts of who I liked and how I liked them vanished from my head the minute I felt the body stir next to mine. Arya was snuggled into my side and while still asleep her arms wrapped around me. Here I am laying on my back with Arya right next to me with her head practically on my chest and arms wrapped around my waist. I sighed in contentment and relaxed my body. I knew that she wouldn't be up for another hour at least so why disturb the contentment I felt. I wrapped my arms around her and soon dozed off. When I opened my eyes I turned my head to look at Arya and saw her beautiful green eyes staring at me. "Morning" I heard her say. Oh my god her voice in the morning is my weakness. "Morning, how'd you sleep?" I asked. "Pretty good, didn't wake up till just now anyways." she replied. I climbed out of the warmth of the bed wanting nothing more than to lay there cuddled up with Arya for the rest of time but knowing I couldn't so instead I walked to my closet, grabbed an outfit, and went to the bathroom for a shower. When I came out I saw that Arya was up and had borrowed some of my clothes as her pajamas were thrown in the bin. I walked down the stairs wondering where she had gone off to and figuring it was probably just the kitchen for breakfast. I rounded the corner and saw her making French toast. Aw man French toast was just my weakness in the morning. I loved the stuff so much I could eat it every day for the rest of my life. I wandered over to the fridge and grabbed some juice and bacon to go with breakfast. Going over to the stove I grabbed a pan and plopped the bacon on it. I hip checked Arya to break our silence since we were standing right next to each other. She hip checked me back and said "So, how is your head this morning?" Referring of course to the hangover she thought I had. "Actually I feel great considering." I replied. She looked at me in the eyes to see if I was lying and after seeing that I wasn't just muttered lucky under her breath. After flipping the bacon and leaving it to cook I poured two glasses of juice for Renee and I as well as grabbed some plates. Setting the table and walking back to grab the bacon I realized the timing could not be more perfect as Arya had just finished the French toast. We sat down and quietly munched on our breakfast. "I have my date with Zack today, we are going to Arthur's." I told her. "Great" was the simple reply I received. "Are you gonna head home or just hang out till I get back?" I asked. "I guess you'll see when you get home." she said quirking an eyebrow. I just sighed and wondered when the tension would disappear for her. What in the world has gotten into her I thought as I picked out my outfit. The only thing that happened was the kiss but why would she be mad about that? Unless she was mad that I just let it go. If she likes me then I basically just said I had no interest. Dammit when in the hell did life get so complicated? Another time I said to myself, just focus on the date. He was set to pick me up at five which was a half hour from now. A couple of days ago I was so excited for this date but now I was kind of dreading it. After finishing my prep I walked back down to the living room seeing Arya curled up on the couch watching TV. I sat down next to her and threw my arm around her shoulder. "Will you stay? Please. I want to talk to you when I get back." I asked. "Sure, I guess I'll be here waiting then." she said as the doorbell rang. "Ok, thank you." I said getting up to answer the door. I opened the door and sure enough it was Zack standing there all nervous with his hands in his pocket. We exchanged our greetings and then left to head to Arthur's. It didn't take long to get there and get seated. Once we had sat down and our orders were taken the awkwardness had set in. Luckily the waitress arrived with our drinks so it spared us for the moment. One thing I loved about Arthur's was the quality and the speed of the food. The date was not very long and extremely awkward but I have a feeling that it was mainly my fault. Every time he tried to talk to me I shut him down with brief replies until he eventually gave up. During the wait for our food my mind wandered back to Arya and our kiss. Remembering the way our lips fit together made me realize I wanted to kiss her again. Deciding then and there what I would do when I got home to Arya made the date go easier. I was exchanging small talk with Zack until our food came and we stopped talking to eat. The bill came soon after and being the gentleman he was paid for the meal. The car ride home was filled with easy small talk about general things but when we pulled into my driveway for the night he insisted on walking me to my door. "So um, goodnight I guess." I said with my hand on the door. "Yea, sure, thanks for going out tonight though, I enjoyed it." After he said this he took a step towards me. I probably looked like a deer in the headlights. He's going to kiss me! flashed through my head. I couldn't pull away fast enough, I was backed against the door with nowhere to go until suddenly it was yanked open from the inside. "Bye" I said while walking in and closing the door In his face. I was terrified to turn around and look at Arya. "Hey, how was your date?" she asked with a hint of...jealousy? Anger maybe? Possibly both? I turned around to look at her and immediately regretted it. "It wasn't all that great, we didn't end up having a lot in common." I replied quickly. For some reason she lost it. "Then why the hell were you two about to kiss if it didn't go well?" Looking down at her a little I saw she had her head down as if ashamed. I lifted her face up by the chin, angling her head so as to look right at me. "What's wrong?" I asked softly while gazing at the tears forming. "I, um, I just, I don't want you kissing anyone ok?" she blurted out instantly regretting the words. I placed both hands on her face and looked her in the eye. "So how about I kiss you instead?"
