Forbidden Love (gxg)

chapter 12

Jade's POV

"I don't know what you're trying to say? Can you dumb it down or at least, you know try to make me understand?" I ask the girl currently laying under me, Blithe seems to be having some sort of crisis by the way the dip between her eyebrows keeps deepening.

"You weren't suppose to like me back." she whimpers, sounding close to tears again and okay this is more difficult than a rubix cube.

"Okay, see you have to be more specific because what I'm getting from that is that you like me." and well that thought has me giddy with happiness, I could literally feel my cheeks straining as my smile grows into an uncontrollable grin. Blithe lets out a whine, closing her eyes as another set of tears rush down her cheeks.

"Blithe, do you like me?" I ask again, needing the answer. I get a firmer grip on her chin and make her face me. Slowly her eyes flutter open and she nods her head.

Happiness is short lived, like many good things in life.

"I'm not suppose to!" she adds hastily, turning her face away from me. She begins to fight against my hold, pushing me halfheartedly but I stubbornly stay put.

My body is encasing hers, legs on either side of her waist and my back maybe twinging with pain but I endure it, taking it like a man or more like a hardcore woman.

"Why?!" My voice is high and squeaky. Which often happens when I'm either really confused, frustrated or both. Meaning my cool has been broken, I repeat cool cucumber Jade is long gone.

It's just -I couldn't wrap my head around it. I mean what? we both liked each other, what was the problem?

I've never claimed to be good in frustrating situations, never been good under pressure either. So I re-attach our lips and end up kissing her. Kissing is easy! Kissing I could do and it gave me some time to think. (Which is a stupid  mistake on my part since my thoughts vanish as soon as my lips touch hers.)

Kissing Blithe is something I'll never get bored of, that I am sure of. It's why it takes me a minute to notice that she isn't kissing back.

"No Jade." She hisses against my mouth.

I pull back and whine, burying my face into the space where her neck meets her shoulder. I whimper pathetically and then let my body fall on hers. Blithe lets out a huff of air and a groan but doesn't push me away this time.

"But why?"

"My parents. They -they're very strict and my dad hasn't always reacted well to the whole gay thing." I frown, opening my mouth but she is quick to cut me off "He isn't a bad person! He just doesn't quite get it." she adds hastily.

"Don't they know about Kate? You know, the whole 'her being a lesbian and loving vaginas' thing." I mumble into her shoulder, noticing the small goosebumps that rise on her skin.

"My parents work until six and Kate usually leaves before then."

"So they haven't met her? Are you here by yourself until they come back from work?" The questions just keep coming out like word vomit. Blithe freezes under me and then slowly relaxes and begins to thread her fingers through my hair.

"No, they haven't met her and yeah I'm usually by myself until they come home at six, but you know." she says it with a shrug, as if it didn't bother her in the slightest. I hum in response and nose against her collarbone, smelling the sweet smell that always surrounds Blithe.

"You do like me though, right?" I just had to make sure. Blithe was a stubborn girl, one of the reasons I liked her so much.

"Yeah." Her fingers freeze and her body tenses. "Do you like me?" she whispers by my ear, her warm breath sending shivers down my spine.
