Heaven Isn't Too Far Away After All.

Chapter 6 | Brown eyed butterflies

A few days later.....

Waverly's point of view-

The only times I've left the house these past three days is to work at Shortys and head home. I can't wrap my head around anything. Wynonna is gone all day killing revenants with Dolls and this man named Doc, which I Guess is actually Doc Holiday. Yes, the Doc Holiday. Champ left town I guess which is all good in my books, the further away he is from me the better. I haven't spoke to Nicole since the day I broke up with Champ. I also may not have taken her hoodie off since she gave it to me, it gives me a good sense of comfort. God. I've got to come to terms with this.

I guess I'm in luck, Gus is home and getting ready to run back into town. I suppose I'll have her drop me off at the station, but not wearing this.

I race up stairs, brush my teeth and throw my hair in a messy bun. I go through my closet looking for some pants. "Ah these will work", I say to myself. They're black leggings, which are about the only things I wear. I throw on a jacket over Nicole's hoodie. It's been extremely cold lately and I'd prefer not to freeze. I put on my uggs and meet Gus down stairs.

"Finally getting out of the house are ya? Good for you." My aunt pipes, giving me a hug.

"Auntie I need advice. My heart is telling me one thing while my head is telling me another."

"What's this about?" Gus says pulling a chair up to sit down.

"As you know, I broke up with Champ last week. I say it's mainly because he was a tool, which don't get me wrong, he is but that's not the only reason. There's someone new in town, a woman actually and I feel as if I could really gain feelings for her."

Gus looks puzzled, "Okay." She pauses, "So what's the problem?"

She makes this sound a whole lot easier than it is.

"I've never had feelings for a woman." My words just hang in the air, echoing in my head.

Once again my aunt just says, "I'm still not seeing what the problem is. You like her don't you?"

"Well yes." I say. I just said that out loud. Nicole what are you doing to me?

"She treats you right doesn't she? She makes you smile and gives you butterflies?"

Blushing I nod my head.

"Then go after her. You're a smart girl who always chases her heart, don't let something as silly as your sexuality confusion stop you now. So you like a woman. So what? I want you to be happy and I hope you choose the right thing to do."

With that my aunt smiles at me and opens the door for me and we walk out to the car.

Ten minutes later we arrive at the station.
Gus gives me a "Go get them tiger!", and I get out of the car and watch her drive off.

I walk into the station, see Nicole sitting at her desk and make a sharp right turn into the nearest office and shut the door.

"Waves?" I hear Nicole say.
I hear her get up from the chair at her desk and start walking towards the office that I'm in. I sit down on the floor before my butterflies get to me and knock me off my feet. The door clicks and in she comes.

"What is going on Waves? I've called your house multiple times and no one answers."

I bury my hands into my face and let out a sigh.

Nicole is already sitting on the ground next to me running her hands through my hair.
"Waves what's wrong? You can tell me anything. You know that right?"

"I'm scared." I say, which comes out all muffled because my face is still in my hands.

"What?" Nicole says "Can you repeat that? Maybe after looking up at me."

I lift my head up and her eyes are aligned right with mine. I've never noticed how comforting brown eyes could be, and hers are looking right at me.

"I'm scared."

"Be a little more specific Waves, scared of what?" She questions. I can see the concern in her eyes.

"Scared of my feelings" I mumble looking down. "Scared of my feelings I have for you."

"You— you have feelings for me?" Nicole stutters.

I'm not looking at her directly but I can see her blushing out of the corner of my eyes.

"Yes and it scares me because I've never had feelings for a woman. But when I look at you, it's like I'm no longer here. Looking at you makes me realize that heaven isn't some far away land, it's actually right in front of me."

Nicole puts her hand on my cheek and uses her other hand to turn my face up to hers. She looks shocked and I'm not sure whether it's a good type of shock or a bad, does she already have a girlfriend? Did I push her away too far and now she's scared to get close?

"I'm scared because what if I mess this up? What if you're too good for me?" I'm about to ramble on some more when I realize she hasn't said anything.

"Nicole? Say something please, anything."

All she replies with is, "You are so amazing."

Next thing I know she is getting closer to me. So close that I can see every little detail in her face. I bring a shaky hand up to her face and cup her face stroking my thumb lightly across her jawline. She closes the distance between us and kisses me, in a instance I'm engulfed with butterflies and happiness and everything in between. It's not rushed, it's not sloppy, it's perfect. Her lips are so soft  and she's so gentle.

I'm about to transition myself onto her lap when I hear footsteps.
We pull apart. I'm blushing and she's blushing with the biggest smile on her face.

"What are you two doing in here?" It's Dolls. I'm assuming this based off the fact that Wynonna said he's dark skinned, tall and muscular and looks like he didn't get enough hugs when he was a child.

"We uhhhhh—" Nicole gets out before Dolls cuts her off.

"It doesn't matter, Waverly your sister is looking for you. Something's happened."

That can't be good.

Wow this one was long. Don't worry I'll have some of Nicole's point of view here soon.
