Finally 18 (girlxgirl)

Chapter 16

I quickly run a brush through my now straightened hair and spray on some perfume. I grab my bag and look in the full-length mirror. Holey, high-waisted shorts, a white short sleeve crop top, and white converses, pulling on a navy blue cardigan to match the trim of my converses. I smile slightly and walk down the stairs.

"Where's mom and dad?" I ask Kelsey, who lays on the couch, on her phone.

"They left already."

"What are you doing here, don't you have classes today?"

"I skipped. I just wanna hang here today."

"Whatever. I'm leaving."

"Byyeeeeee."

I walk outta the house and down the street, constantly running my fingers through the ends of my hai-

I feel a tug at my hair and turn. Alex smiles at me. "Hi," she says.

"Heyy. What are you doing here?"

"You told me to come back. I did."

I smile. "You're sweet."

"Sweet enough for a kiss?"

"Mmhmm," I say, kissing her. I glance down at her outfit, she has on black skinny jeans, a plain gray t-shirt, and all black Vans, her down and wavy.

"I like your outfit," she says.

"Becauuusse..it shows so much skin?"

She shrugs. "Whatever gets you in bed with me."

"Again?" I smile.

"Yes. Again. Speaking of fucking you to Australia and back, last night was really nice," she says quietly.

"I know right, that Italian food? Perfection!" I say.

She nods. "..yeah."

I laugh. "I was kidding, I know what you mean..and I totally agree..but it was better than nice..it was.."

"Really nice?"

I smile. "Yes. That."

She smiles back and grabs my hand. "For a beginner, you did fucking awesome," she says.

"Yeah?"

"Fuck yeah. It was unforgettable," she smirks, the wind blowing her hair back. She is so gorgeous.

"I love you," I say.

She looks at me. "That was random," she laughs.

"My first love is always relevant," I smile. "Or just my love for you in general."

She nods slowly. "Well, alright. I love you too."

"Promise?" I ask, holding up my pinky.

"Promise," she smiles, locking her pinky with mine. "Heyy, that should be our new way of saying I love you."

"Pinky promise?"

"Yeah," she smiles again. "Deal?" she asks, her holding up her own pinky this time.

"Deal," I confirm, locking my pinky with her's.

I sit down at the table, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"You seem calm," Harlie smiles.

"I am," I smile back.

"Cut the crap and tell us about your date with Alex yesterday," Emma says.

I smile at them and then tell them what happened. Just not the sex.

"Ohh," Harlie leans back, looking disappointed.
