Ariana Imagines

#26: Somethin' Stupid

People say dating your best friend is bad, I can't say if I disagree. Ariana has been my best friend for years and we recently just started dating. After years of feeling in love with her and wanting to date her so badly, it finally happened. I just didn't know if it felt right, espically to her. She always seemed maybe embarrassed when we were near our friends now. She was very distant when we hung out with friends who knew about our relationship and in public. She seemed unsure. I try to figure her out but its almost impossible. I sit at my flat at my work desk I start writing poems into a typer. I sip on some beer and hold on a cigarette. Poems about love is what I'm best at, usually from my shitty experiences.

Suddenly I feel small hands on my shoulders. "Hey." she says lightly massaging my shoulders. "Hey." I say sighing it was Ariana. I knew that voice. "You look stressed, what's wrong?" she says bringing her arms around my neck and her face is close to mine, our eyes meet. I put out my cigarette and take a sip of my beer. I look into them, "We should talk." I say lowly. Her look turns serious and concerned, she straightens up her body. She barely towers over me as I sit down at my desk. I turn to face her completely, "Ariana is this working out for you?" she still looks confused. "What?" I bite my lip wanting to spill everything but trying to hold it back. Then it all came out, "You seem embarassed by me, I'm starting to think you regretted this decision. If you don't like me, why date me? Did you feel bad for me?" my eyes widened at my own words.

It's silent. "I-I.." she stutters. "Look, I do like you. I just have never been in a serious lesbian relationship before. But I love you." her hands go up to cover her mouth. Her eyes are widened, a smile creeps up on me. I'm still shocked, she never confessed that she loved me. I take her hand covering her mouth and kiss it. I get up and pick her up wrapping her legs around my waist. She giggles and buries her head into my neck. I put our bodies down onto the bed, me hovering over her. I take some hair away from her beautiful face. We smile into a perfect kiss, "I love you too." she has no idea how long I've been waiting to hear that.
