11| he didn't come

daniela/carla

daniela walked into the almost-empty cafe. there was carla, sitting alone at a table. she was holding a cup of coffee and kept glancing at the door. curious, dani made her way over to her friend and sat in the chair opposite her.

"he didn't come," carla said remorsefully. "i met this guy online and we agreed to meet here. i've been waiting for almost an hour now!"

who could take advantage of sweet, innocent carla like this?

"silly boy," dani said, reaching for the other girls hands and holding them across the cafe table. "no one in the right mind would stand you up carla."

she nodded and wiped her eyes, "why do i even waste my time on men when you're always here for me?"

daniela smiled, "how about we get some brownies to feel better?" and with that she got up, purchased two brownies, and sat back down in her chair.

carla nibbled at hers in silence- she was thinking about love. did she really love the man who was supposed to be at dinner, or was she already in love with someone else?

"hey dani, who do you love?" carla asked, breaking the quiet.

her best friend smiled, "love is a powerful word, but i do have my eye set on someone."

"who?" carla asked with wide eyes.

"can you keep this between us?"

she nodded.

daniela took a deep breath, "before i continue, i want you to know that, uh, i'm a lesbian. i like girls not boys." it felt so good to get that off her chest.

"that's so cool! like they say: love is love," carla responded happily, then lowered her voice. "what's the one called where you like boys and girls?"

"bisexual?" dani offered.

she nodded, "i think i'm bisexual then."

"well that's good," daniela said. "because i love you carla."

they reached for the others hands and held on tightly.

"i love you too daniela."
