Four Years

Chapter 5 Confessions

A Few Weeks Later

I'm eating breakfast when Natasha text me. 'Beach?' "What are we doing today" Sierra asks. I would say beach, but then we would never go because I suggested it. I kick Ian from under the table. He looks at me and raises an eyebrow. I mouth 'beach' to him. Ian asks, "How about we go to the beach?" I look at Dianna, she catches on and says, "The beach sounds fun." "Great idea Ian" Sierra says, "Now I can show off my new bikini." I roll my eyes as I start to clean up. Everyone starts to get ready.

After I change into my swim trunks and swim shirt and text Natasha. 'Cya soon' Over the last few weeks, my and Natasha have been hanging out quite a bit and we have gotten very close. I'm also friends with her best friend. I start to load all the gear into the cars. Dianna walks up to me and says, "I can't wait to meet her. I'm really happy for you Harles." "I'm just glad someone has my back" I say. Dianna pulls me into a hug and says, "I will always love you, don't forget that." She lets go and we get into the car.

Once we arrive at the beach, I unload, and set up everything. I take a walk along the beach looking for Natasha. I have been walking for a bit when I spot Natasha with Elise and a few other people. I walk over to them and say, "Hey." Natasha looks at me and immediately starts smiling. She gets up and pulls me into a hug. I could have sworn I saw one of her friend's glare at me for a second before they composed themselves. I just ignored it and hugged Natasha back. "You remember Elise. This is Katie, Stacy, Annabel, Antonio, and Mark." I smile at them and they say hi to me. "Wanna grab some ice cream? I saw a place not too far down the beach" I ask Natasha. Natasha says, "Sure. I'll catch up with you guys later."

We walk to the ice cream shop. We order and continue walking along the beach. We finish our ice cream and are under the pier. At the same time, me and Natasha say, "I really like you." We just stare at each other. "Wait, you do? I thought my feelings were totally one sided" says Natasha. "Not even close" I say, "I've liked you since I spilt my drink on you. I figured you didn't like me like that." Natasha steps closer and says, "You're the first person in years to catch my attention." Natasha starts to lean in. I stop breathing and start to lean in.

When our lips are centimeters apart, I pull away and look down. Natasha looks at me confused and asks, "Did I do something wrong? Am I going to fast? Oh...your already dating some-" I interrupt her rant by laughing. She stops and looks at me. I stop laughing and say, "All those reasons you just listed off aren't the reason why I pulled away." Natasha still looks confused and asks, "Why?" I sigh and say, "Because I'm not who you think I am."

"What are you trying to say" asks Natasha. I take a deep breath and say, "I'm a girl." I wait for her to start yelling and/or hitting me. She doesn't do either, instead she just laughs. Now it's my turn to look at her confused. Natasha says after she stops laughing, "I could care less if you were a boy or a girl. I'm bisexual."
