If I could turn back time

Holly, my dear, let me love you

Holly lay on her bed, playing with her hair, smiling at the ceiling. She was delirious. The experience at the lake had taught her to trust her heart over her head. She let out a sigh and cuddles up to a nearby pillow. She giggled gently into it and began to roll around her bed. It was pretty late, nearly midnight so she was the only one awake and could do pretty much anything she wanted. So she decided to head downstairs to grab some food for the night. Upon heading back up, she noticed something on her bed. A paper plane. Made from the same baby blue paper Leona always doodled on. She could make out there was something written on it, but due to the folds it was unreadable from where she was standing. She walked to her bed, with equal parts confusion excitement and nervousness. She began to unfold it, recognising the writing, but not knowing where from. She had definitely seen it before. The small flicks, the weird form of the letter Y, just all of it set off all sorts of bells in her head but she couldn't place it. She began to read what it said. "I saw that look in your eyes at the lake. It's called love dear. Open your window. You won't regret it". Holly was hesitant. What if her and Leona weren't alone at the lake, and she was going to be murdered by a psycho with a huge axe or machete. "I'm not sure I want to" she whispered quietly, not expecting to receive a reply, but she did indeed.

"Come on love. Don't leave me out here. It's freezing". It was Leona. She had climbed into the tree beside Holly's window and throw the plane in so Holly would let her in. Holly opened her window further and Leona climbed in. Holly began to well up. She was so happy to see Leona, but furious she had turned up like this. "What are you doing here?" Holly hastily mumbled. "Well isn't it obvious? I saw how you looked at me. There was love in your eyes honey. And you know it". "Ok, first, stop with the pet names. I ain't your possession. Two, it wasn't love. Why did you think that?" Holly snapped back in defence. "Don't lie to me. I've seen that look too many times to mistake it. You have feelings for me, and you can't deny that." Holly looked away, embarrassed. She began to blush and try to ram together a sentence "well, um, I, erm, um well I..." she was interrupted by Leona who had placed a finger to the girls lips. Holly grabbed at her hand to move it, but gave in when she realised she couldn't hide it from herself anymore. She rested her hands on Leona's and quietly said "ok I admit it. I have feelings for you." Tears began to run slowly down her face, each carrying anguish and sorrow at having to suppress how she felt. Leona wiped the tears away and sat on Holly's bed, beckoning her over. Holly sat in leona's lap, and rested her head on her shoulder. She wept gently into leona's neck, while she was gently cuddled in. Leona stroked Holly's hair until she had controlled her crying. Holly looked up into the strong yet delicate face of Leona and felt at home. She felt like she belonged. She looked into her eyes and became lost in the galaxies. Leona wiped the last remaining tears from Holly's face and stood up, "well I guess I should be going. Let you get some sleep". Holly immediately stood and protested "no don't go. Please stay. I want you here" Leona looked surprised by her protests, "you want me to stay?" Holly nodded saying "I wanna sleep with you. Not sexually or anything, but I want to cuddle up to you. To fall asleep in your arms" Leona began to tear up. Maybe she had found the one. She nodded and hugged Holly as tightly as she could. She pecked Holly on the cheek as the two released, only to be greeted by Holly wrapping her arms around her neck and kissing passionately. Leona closed her eyes slowly as she gently nibbled on Holly's bottom lip, wrapping her arms around the girls waist and pulling her closer. Leona pulled away and began to kiss Holly's neck gently. Holly began to moan, unable to hold herself back. Leona was beside herself. She couldn't help but be turned on by Holly's moans. She pushed the girl on the bed, winked, turned off the bedside light, and giggled. The night was theirs.
