Amber Liu (o.s & s.s)

love is love ; acceptance

"It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love."

Amber had insisted on taking me somewhere, but with her being her stubborn self, she didn't dare tell me where. The only thing that she told me to do was dress casually and expect to be pampered.

Her surprise place was the mall, which I wasn't complaining about. And, luckily for me, I had even brought my money with me to spend. "It's a lame date, I know. But it's a way that I'll be able to spoil you." Amber said, smiling while opening the entrance door for me, letting me step into the building first. She followed behind me and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "Where to first, princess?" She asked me.

After dragging her into every store there was in this place that actually had my general interest, our last stop was Starbucks that I had begged her to bring me to. We sat at a table for two in the middle of the walking aisles, sharing laughs and iced, chocolate chip coffee. When finished laughing, Amber took her coffee to get a sip, but left extra whipped cream behind on the tip of her nose. I giggled at this and it caught her attention. "What's so funny?" She asked, confused. "You have a little.." I said, pointing to her nose. "No no! I want to get it!" I said, rushing by her side. I gave her a peck on the nose and got the stray cream off.

"Do you fags have no common curtesy!" A woman said loudly behind us. I turned my head to see a middle aged lady with short brown hair, her arms crossed and a look of disgust on her face. "I mean, come on. Your relationship isn't even morally correct! So disturbing to the public." She said, even louder to intentionally cause attention to be drawn to us. I lowered my head and sat back in my seat, looking at the table. "You know, you two are going to hell. There's no way God would ever accept some fuck up's like you two." She continued, insulting us. Tears began to well up in my eyes, so I hid my face away completely. "Excuse me, miss?" Amber said, politely. She raised her eyebrow and looked at Amber. "What do you want, cross dresser?" She said harshly. "In all respect ma'am, I'm going to ask you this in the nicest way that I can possibly give to you," Amber said, pausing. "If you ever so do not mind, leave me and my amazing girlfriend of mine alone." "Excuse me?" The lady said, "Your girlfriend? Wow, you two really are some f-"

"Leave us the fuck alone, I said. Can you get that through your thick skull? My girlfriend and I were just sitting here, minding our own business until you interrupted us. We have every right as any other couple does to display an intermediate amount of affection in public. And, if God hated me, he wouldn't have made me this way." Amber said, loudly and boldly to the girl, making her seem speechless. "Have a wonderful day miss." Amber added. "Oh, and before you go," She said, "Have this." She grabbed my face and locked her lips with mine forcefully. She pulled away with a smile.

"Love is Love." With that, we walked out of the mall, leaving the lady and observers stunned. We left the mall peacefully and headed home.

"I love you." I said. Amber looked at me with her gorgeous eyes.

"I love you more."
