It was almost summer break, and thankfully Chelsea and Emily wanted to bring me along on their family getaway. "Are you sure you want me to come?" I asked nervously, sitting across from Chelsea and Emily at the mall. "Of course!" Was both of their replies almost simultaneously. "Well I guess I need to go buy a swimsuit then...." I muttered, more to myself than anyone else. "I'll take you! It'll be my treat!" Emily responded spontaneously. "I'll come too!" Chelsea added with a smile. "Chelse, you promised that you'd feed the neighbors dog though, right?" Asked Emily. "Oh shit! I forgot! Thanks Em! See you later Piper!" Said Chelsea as she rushed out to her car from the food court.
Emily sighed. "she's always been so energetic, huh?" "Yeah, that's why I became her friend in the first place, she wouldn't let me say no!" I laughed. "At least you kinda had a choice, she was just born and I was stuck with her." Emily added. "Alright, let's head over to Victoria's Secret and get you a cute swimsuit!" Emily said as she grabbed my hand( fingers interlocked) and led the way to the store.
After several agonizing hours of Emily looking for, and me trying on swimwear, we settled on a ouija board one piece at Hot Topic. "Oh you look so cute in that! You have to get that one Piper!" She squealed. "Umm... Thanks? I can't really complain since you won't let me buy it myself." I added. I changed back into my regular clothes and we checked out and headed to my place (She was driving). "Okay! This has been fun, but I gotta go pack!" I said as I got out of her car.
On the plane ride to Florida, I sat in the window seat, Emily sat next to me.m, and Chelsea got the aisle seat. The entire trip Emily leaned on my shoulder, even when she wasn't napping. I eventually got confident enough to hold her hand and lean my head on hers. Neither of us spoke a word; we didn't have to. We made it to the airport safely and took a shuttle to our hotel. The girls parents booked two rooms with two beds each, thinking the sisters would share a bed and I'd get one to myself.
At first I slept in that small bed alone. And when I woke up, I was still sadly alone. The hotel served us breakfast and we went off to see the a bunch of tourist sites. Their parents were overjoyed at how smoothly things went. A nearby bar had a tiki night, so we went to enjoy the festivities. The Hendersons were so drunk Chelsea volunteered to carry them to their room. Emily conveniently had to go to the restroom and asked me to stay and wait. When she got out she refused to leave. "Oh come on, when will I get the chance to dance with a hot girl at the bar?" I rolled my eyes and joined her to the best of some island music. When we finally returned to the hotel, it was well past 1am. Emily looked st her sleeping sister, shrugged, undressed, and climbed into the bed that I had slept in. "Aren't you gonna join me? She whispered. I blushed as I stripped down and crawled under the covers with her. I fell asleep looking in the eyes of my biggest crush. When I woke up I wasn't facing her anymore, but I could feel her arms around me as she spooned me. I laid there for a bit longer, not wanting to wake her when she cooed in my ear. "You don't have to parented to be asleep, I'm up too." I couldn't help but blush again. I swear she does this shit on purpose. I thought as I rolled to face her, still in her embrace. "We didn't... do anything... did we?" I asked, slightly embarrassed. "Well if you don't count cuddling all night in just our underwear, then no we didn't do anything." She smiled and nuzzled my nose. We finally got out of the bed mad spent the day at the beach, building sand castles, running in the water, and sharing cold drinks and what little shade we could find. The entire time Emily was either hanging on me, or I was hanging on her. Chelsea didn't seem to mind and actually said "you two are cute together!"
The rest of the trip followed in a similar fashion, with their parents enjoying themselves, and leaving the three of us to our own business. Emily and I were inseparable. We did everything together, except each other. On the final night of our week long vacation, Emily smiled at me while she sat in the bed. Chelsea was in the shower, Emily showered first,I had just gotten out. "Meet me under the covers in exactly 2 seconds!l she exclaimed and proceeded to pull the sheets over her head. I sighed and plopped downs and joined her inside the white sheets. "So what's so impor-" i never got to finish my question because her lips met mine in a sweet mix of lip gloss and tongue. Neither of us pulled away for quite some time, but when I finally came up for air, she kicked her lips and asked "So, what were you gonna say?" I just smiled and said "doesn't matter anymore." I didn't get much sleep that night as we made out multiple times and There's no way that's Chelsea slept through our moans.
The next morning we packed up and made our way to the airport. Emily pulled me aside and gave me another sensual kiss. "Piper. You know we can't be together when we get back home, right?" Unfortunately I agreed with her, our home town wasn't very accepting of the LGBT community. Just a month ago a man was forced out of his own business simply because he was gay.
We held hands and cuddles the entire plane trip back, but the moment our feet hit the boarding/exit tunnel, she went back to being the popular girl with a big heart, and I went back to being the awkward girl who was always in trouble.
