Something More (GxG previously A Lesbian Love Story)

Chapter 10

Sunny sleeps softly behind me, her face pressed into my back, her arms holding my waist tightly but I can't sleep. My mind is blurring with the fear of what Casey will say tomorrow, what she'll do, why she hasn't texted me.

I reach over to the nightstand that sits at the head of my bed and grab my phone. Still nothing so I gather my courage and text her instead.

Hey. So about what happened tonight...I'm sorry...

Within seconds she reads it and starts to type but then she stops, and I get nothing.

Casey?

She reads it again but doesn't type, I wait for 10 minutes and still get nothing. I sigh heavily and lock my phone placing it back on the nightstand.

Sunny's arms tighten and pulls me closer to her as she sighs in her sleep, her tears long now. I turn in her arms slowly to face her needing to see her face as I think.

Sleep graces her features, a small content smile splayed across her lips. I run my fingertips gently down the side of her face. She's beautiful, everything I thought I'd ever want in a girl hell everything I did want in a girl and yet...I didn't want this. Being with her in my bed, so close to naked, it just felt wrong.

I didn't want to be with her, not really, not anymore but my fear of ending up alone, and deserted made me act impulsive and rash. Instead of telling her no like I damn well should have, I'd done the opposite and now I was in bed with a beautiful girl with my mind trained on how good it felt to kiss my best friend.

I want to scream, and cry, and throw things more and more as I thought about the events that passed tonight both with Casey and with Sunny.

I push the hair back from her face gently and turn away closing my eyes hoping that sleep will take me a long with all the hurricane of thoughts in my head.

. . .

"Hey beautiful, come on we're gonna be late for school." Soft lips press against my cheek and I smile pulling Casey closer to me.

A soft giggle sound by my ear as she nuzzles my cheek.

"I missed you." I say softly too tired to open my eyes so instead I image her grinning face framed by her dark curls.

"I missed you too." Her lips press against mine and the tip of her tongue darts across my lower lip. I open my mouth slightly and her warm tongue crosses the threshold. I'm happy, content even until something metallic clicks against my teeth something that I recognize as a tongue ring and something I know Casey would never get.

I pull back as my eyes snap open to Sunny's surprised face hovering over mine, the events of the night before flooding back.

"You ok?" I nod swallowing hard.

"Yeah, fine." She raises her eye brown but doesn't question me.

"When did you get a tongue ring?" She grins biting her lip.

"Not long ago, I thought it might...come in handy." A slight blush crawls up her neck as her double meaning catches in my brain.

"How long have you been planning that stunt that you pulled last night?" She bites her lip again and shrugs guiltily.

"Awhile..." I shake my head but before I can say anything she grabs my hand and pulls me out of bed.

"Come on we're gonna be late for school." She pushes some clothes into my hands and pushes me towards the bathroom.

"Hurry." I roll by eyes but get ready. As I stare at myself in the bathroom mirror worry starts to creep in once more; what's Casey going to say? Is she even going to talk to me? Did that kiss ruin us? What is she going to say about Sunny?

The shouting and the front door slamming shut startles me and I rush out of the bathroom as Sunny walks back in.

"What was that?" She shrugs sitting down on my bed.

"A pest." I walk to my window in time to see James' car peel away from the curb leaving skid marks.

"Sunny what did you do?"

"Nothing, come on." The ride to school is silent as she traces patterns on my thigh with the tip of her finger.

I walk to class with all eyes turned on Sunny and I, apparently the "back together" news traveled fast.

We stop outside of my English classroom; she leans in to kiss ne but I turn my head so her lips hit my cheek.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think we should talk first." She nods talking slowly.

"I guess that makes sense...I'll see you later?" I nod and she walks off.

"Or maybe not." I grumble before walking in looking for Casey, but she's no where to be found.

"Damn it." I sit in my normal seat but all period her seat beside me remains empty.

"Where are you Casey?" I whisper to myself hoping that every time the door opens its her but it never is.

I walk into next period to see Ginger face lodged into some giant book.

"Hey Gingy." She scowls and throws her bag into the seat next to her.

"Seats taken." I don't know what to say so I just walk away and find a seat in the corner.

When I look back at her questioningly her scowl deepens and she turns her face back into the book.

She ignores me for the whole period and once the bell rings she tries to run but I catch her.

"Ginger, what the hell is going on?" She snatches her arm from my grip as she slings her bag over her shoulder.

"Like you don't know."

"Let's pretend I don't." I say knowing she wouldn't believe me if I said I didn't. She rolls her eyes so hard I swear I can hear it.

"Let's see, you walking all ovwr Caseys's heart and getting back together with that tramp that never treated you right to begin with. You made the wrong choice here Alex and you made Casey pay for it. She's been in love with you since the start and you broke her heart.

"You deserve everything that bitch put you through and more for what you did to Casey last night."

"What?" I'm suffering from information overload and though what she's saying makes sense my brain can't put it together.

Broken her heart? Loved me from the start? Tramp?

"God Alex, just...why?" I open my mouth but nothing comes out. She rolls her was again.

"Don't bother, I don't want your excuses. Just...stay away from us ok? Casey's been through enough." She stalks off towards the lunch room and I'm left alone.

"Fuck." I walk slowly to the lunchroom trying to process what just happened and how badly I screwed myself.

The table I used to sit at turns heavy glares on me except for one who keeps their face turned down into the table: Casey. I keep walking searching for somewhere else to sit.

My eyes lock with an old friend and I head over to the table sitting down beside him.

"Hey."
