Not Just Acting (Negovanman)

Chapter 40

This chapter is for Elise publicly confirming she's bisexual <3

"No," Natasha says.

"Yes," I say for about the fourth time in a row.

"No." Her eyes narrow and darken.

I bat my eyelashes and grab her hands as I pout. I believe this is what does the trick. "Please?"

"Goddammit, fine!"

Finally, she puts in the movie Tangled.

"It doesn't mean Sharon and Kaitlyn are going to want to watch it."

"They have to deal with it because it's your TV." I smile at her and kiss her cheek, letting my lips linger until she speaks.

"But yet you're the one deciding for me." Natasha smirks.

"With difficulty."

"With difficulty," she repeats. "I think I deserve something much better than a kiss on the cheek, Elise."

"Like thank you?" I ask with fake confusion like I don't know what she's talking about, like I don't know she wants to kiss me. Hell, I always want to kiss her.

Natasha tilts her head and gives me a look.

"Fine." Grinning, I slowly lean towards her to build the suspense. I see her eyes locked in on my lips before doing the same to hers.

I think her lips and face in general is one of the few things I've come to memorize. Thank god because art is truly a blessing to memorize. My eyes are attracted to beauty, as are most people's, and those two in general calm me to a whole new level. It's unexplainable. 

Then, a wild collection of knocks on the door startle me to back up, further away from her glorious lips.

"Great," Natasha mutters. "We'll resume later." She kisses my forehead with a playful smile and gets up to answer the door. Her walk there is full of excited hops, making me laugh, before she pulls it open. "Hey."

"Hey," two voices say at the same time.

Sharon and Kaitlyn saunter into the apartment and surround the seats around me, leaving no possible room for Natasha. I smile at my friends who I feel like I haven't seen forever.

"Hey, how are you two?" I ask them.

"Meh." Sharon shrugs.

"Decent," Kaitlyn replies.

"It's nice to hear from you about actually wanting to be in our presence again."

"Sorry, I've been busy." I frown but glance over at Natasha who drags herself to the chair a few feet away.

"Oh, we know." Kaitlyn wiggles their eyebrows suggestively. They must always resort to that.

I roll my eyes and announce, "Anyway, we're watching Tangled."

"Ew, no!" Sharon says.

"I told you," Natasha says with a laugh.

"Yeah, we are not watching that movie," Kaitlyn agrees.

"But-"

"No."

"We're still waiting on a few more people. We can figure out a movie during then," Natasha says.

"Like who?" I ask even though it doesn't really matter to me. I'm only curious because she didn't mention it before. The more the merrier.

"Uh." She clears her throat. "Miranda and Amber."
