This Ain't A Scene ~ Sequel to Can You Hear Me? (COMPLETED)

Cute Girls

I was holding onto Ana's hand as we walked into the grocery store. Mom's list was long, but Ana and I had plenty of time.

Ana grabbed a cart and looked at the list. I held on, making sure that I was close to my girlfriend. 

We began with the non-food items since there was less of a chance for them to be ruined before we checked out. Mom wanted to get Declan more school supplies and allowed us to get some supplies as well. We grabbed that stuff and then moved onto baby stuff to get diapers and some clothes for Antero. After that, we grabbed a movie to watch tonight in bed. We decided on Avengers: Infinity War because neither Ana nor I had seen it yet and the sequel would be out in a couple of months.

We passed by a rack of beanies, all slouchy and plain. I grabbed a few of them, throwing them in the cart. 

As Ana and I were walking over to the grocery section, a little girl approached us with her mother. She looked at her mother worriedly before looking back at us, "Excuse me?"

Ana smiled at her, kneeling down, "What's up little miss?"

"Is she your bestest friend?" The young girl asked. 

Ana looked at the mom and, after a nod, explained, "She's actually my girlfriend."

The girl's jaw dropped and she gasped, looking at her mom, "Girls can have girlfriends?" 

I smiled and nodded. The girl jumped up and down, obviously excited. Ana giggled, standing up.

"Thank you," The mom said, "She's been asking me and I figured that she should ask you herself."

"Of course!" Ana said, "Whatever makes someone happy."

After a wave at each other, we continued on and finished our shopping. On the way out, I noticed an older woman glaring at us. I didn't mention it to Ana, wanting to make sure she was still happy. We quickly bagged our groceries, taking the cart to Ana's car. We loaded them in and then got in the car ourselves, ready to go home. As soon as the stuff was paid for I grabbed a beanie, pulling it on over my bandaid.

As Ana was driving I pulled my phone out and took a selfie with her, not entirely sure she saw. She looked beautiful; the window was down and the wind was blowing through her hair, her elbow resting on the door as she drove and held my hand. I got a little bit of the bandaid peaking out from under the beanie, but it was alright. I don't think anyone would notice.

stumpyeve: This is my beautiful girlfriend. That's all.

I tagged her in the picture, putting my phone away soon after.

Ana's phone dinged, and she took a side glance at me, "You took a picture didn't you?"

I giggled, nodding.

Ana laughed, continuing to drive. We pulled up at my house a little later. I got out and could hear Declan laughing outback. I wrapped my jacket closer to myself, helping Ana grab the bags. We brought them in, our bodies seemingly defrosting as we stepped into the heat of the house.

"We're home!" Ana called as I led her to the kitchen. We set the groceries down as Mom appeared, obviously tired.

"You okay?" I signed, pulling my beanies and movie out. 

She sighed and nodded. I gave her the rest of the change, and she smiled at me.

"Did you two manage to actually only spend half the money and get everything?" Mom asked, amazed.

I nodded, wrapping my arm around Ana's waist.

"We had a little girl come up to us and ask if we were 'bestest friends'," Ana told my mother, smiling.

"That's adorable," Mom said, unpacking her stuff. She smiled at the diapers we got Antero, putting them on the counter. 

I helped Mom pull stuff out and Ana came up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist, resting her head on my shoulder. I turned to look at her and grinned, kissing her cheek. She kissed my shoulder as I continued to unpack the bags.

"What are the beanies for?" Mom asked. 

"To cover her bandages, we got a couple of weird looks today," Ana explained. I nodded, confirming it.

"I'm sorry honey," Mom apologized, beginning to put things in cabinets. 

I shrugged, moving Ana's head. She groaned and then laughed, hugging me. 

"Dinner will be ready in about forty-five minutes, okay girls?" Mom said, turning to look at us.

I nodded.

At that moment the door slammed open. I jumped, clutching onto Ana, as Dad ran in.

"We're releasing the album on the 19th!" Dad yelled.

My eyes widened, "That's in two weeks?"

"Yeah! We finally got it finished! Surprise drop!" Dad said, arms out wide.

"I will support this as long as I get to listen to it early," Ana reasoned, smirking.

"Deal," Dad pointed at her. 

I laughed, rubbing Ana's arms. 

"Let's go lay down and watch our movie?" I suggested. I honestly just wanted to cuddle with her. I was very cuddle depreciated.

Ana nodded, grabbing my stuff off the counter and bidding my parents goodbye as we walked up the stairs to my room. As soon as the door was shut I pulled the beanie off, sighing. 

"You okay?" Ana asked, coming up and wrapping her arm around my waist.

I nodded, kissing her softly. She smiled in the kiss, moving her hands lower. I gasped and laughed, pulling away. I wiggled my arms out and signed, "Babe, not good right now."

"Aww, why not?" Ana asked, pouting.

"Because movie," I pointed at the DVD resting on my dresser.

"Ugh fine," Ana said, giggling. I smiled, walking to my bed. I laid down and allowed Ana to curl up in my arms. We were comfortable and safe.
