Unconditionally (Lesbian Story)

13

"Are you not worried she won't come back." I follow the sound of voices as I get back to Katy's and find her in her room talking to her sister. They both have their backs to the door so have no idea that I'm back yet and I want to hear Katy's answer before I make my presence known.

"No not at all I know her Ange she always comes back to me and I know we can work on her pulling away I just need to stop taking my fears out on her. She's proven more than once she will always choose me over him but after this morning I was on edge and I took it out on her."

"We both have things we need to work on then," I announce as I step into the room.

"Alex."

"Last time I checked." I smile what I hope is a reassuring smile the last thing I want to do is seem cocky right now.

She rises from the bed and comes to stand in front of me just looking into my eyes for a moment.

"I'm sorry." We say in almost perfect unisons and then both smile. She reaches up to cup my cheek.

"I trust you totally I need you to know that." She tells me earnestly.

"I know, and I should have stayed and talked to you, but I needed a minute to think."

"I'm going to find the others I think you two need to talk about everything," Angela tells us looking pointedly at her sister and I know from her look and Katy's earlier words about this morning there is something we need to talk about.

"Thank you." Katy lets go of me for a moment to squeeze her sister's hand on her way past and Angela surprises me by squeezing my arm and offering me a small smile as she makes her way out of the room.

"Ok so spill," I tell Katy the moment we are alone as I take her by the hand and lead her to the bed. I can't help but wonder how we go to such extremes as we sit side by side on her overly large four-poster bed. This morning we were wrapped up in just being together in this very bed and now I can feel the tension rolling from her and it's a lot more than Lewis being in LA that has gotten her like this.

"I meant what I said a moment ago I trust you, I was already upset by the time Lewis was mentioned and I took it out on you and for that I'm sorry."

"What had you so upset?" I ask and pray to god its nothing I have done.

"Nothing you did." She assures me, she can read my mind or at least the trepidation in my voice. "I got a call from my parents this morning."

My face must show my shock because she lets a small smile grace that beautiful face that has looked far too pensive in the last few moments. I know all too well though her parents haven't been very active in her life since they found out about our relationship. She's spoken to them but not very often and I am never mentioned. "Yeah, I looked a little like that when I heard my Mom's voice."

"Dare I ask what was said?"

"It's my brothers birthday soon," she smiles at the mention of her little brother I've never met him, but I know she loves him dearly. "They don't want to leave the moment unmarked no matter what's going on between us."

I'm not sure if I should relax a little or not I mean it can't be too bad if her parents want to do something for her brothers' birthday, can it?! "You're trying to work out why it had me so upset, aren't you? Well, they want to come to town with my brother and take their children out to dinner." I must still look confused because she reaches over and kisses my nose. "They want me to meet someone that goes to their church a friend of my brothers they want to bring him to dinner think it will be good for me."

I'm silent for a moment as I process this information I'm surprised that I'm surprised by it. Of course, they want her to meet a nice boy and get over this little hiccup in her life. They must have feared something like this would happen when she was in LA. It just doesn't sit right with me for a couple of reasons. I mean there's the totally selfish side that doesn't want my girlfriend going out to dinner with some random guy that thinks he has a chance with her just because he has her parents' endorsement. Then there's the other side that feels sorry for Katy can't be nice to feel like you're being pimped out by your parents to the first available man because the situation is so dire to them.

"What are you thinking?" She finally askes.

"Do you want to go on this little blind date?"

"I'm going to pretend you didn't just ask me that." She says turning a little more to face me. "I'm not going to start trying to pray the gay away Alex you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love you more than I thought I could ever love someone."

"I love you too you being a part of my life is something that I never expected but I wouldn't change for anything. I want you to be happy though and I want you to have a relationship with your parents," I sigh running my fingers through my hair where did this all start getting to be so complicated. "What Did you say to them?"

"I told them that I love them, and I understand that the choices that I'm making right now might be hard for them to be ok with, but I wouldn't be any part of them trying to write you out of my life."

"Bet they took that well." I smile despite the situation.

"Oh yeah like a laed balloon." She smiles scooting closer and resting her head on my shoulder. "They are still coming to LA and they still want to see me but I'm just not sure what to say. I want to see my family I want us to be together, but I can't just pretend you don't exist when I'm with them and I don't know what happens if I push this."

"They have to come to terms with this in their own time that much is true, but you should never have to be anyone you're not or don't want to be not for anyone not for your family not even for me. You've been through too much and been too unhappy to be anything but 100% of what makes you feel right."

"You 100% make me feel right I never knew it could feel this right and if I have to wait a while for my parents to get that then so be it."
