Coming Out

Chapter 18

Carmen POV

"Everything alright?" Aeriona asked me as she stepped into the bathroom.

"Yes." I plastered a fake smile.

"Are you sure?" She gently placed her hands on my shoulders.

"No." I fell into her arms and felt tears run down my cheeks.

"Oh sweetie!" She held me tight. "Everything will be okay, me and my boyfriend fight all the time."

"Really?" I sniffled.

"It's totally normal for couples to have disagreements." She rubbed my back. "Don't worry, you two will be back lovey dovey in no time."

"Thank you." We gave eachother a warm smile.

"There's that pretty smile!" She handed me a tissue to wipe my face. "Now let's get started."

Ben brought ice cream to our room to snack on while Aeriona worked her magic and played surround sound music around our bedroom.

In the middle of the party
Bitch get off me
In the cut
I'm rollin up my broccoli

We were getting dressed in our matching blue outfits as we rapped in unison.

"This my jam." Ray smiled at me.

"Me too!" I giggled.

"I'm sorry about earlier." She held her arms out to me.

"It's okay Ray." I ran into them.

"No, I should've been more considerate of your feelings." She squeezed me tight.

I didn't say anything. What are my feelings actually? With all of these events happening, I don't even know what it is exactly I want from her anymore.

"Nah it's okay." I pulled away. "Let's just tell the media that we're just friends."

"No." she pulled me back to her.

"Why?" I asked. "Isn't that what you want?"

"Not at all." She leaned in and pecked me on the lips.

My eyes widened in surprise. Did that really just happen?

"I want you." She leaned in for another kiss.
