Something Different [gxg] [ON HOLD]

The girls sat next to each other at the kitchen bar eating breakfast. Imani munched on her strawberries and mangos while keeping a watchful eye on the child next to her. She was snapped out of her trance by the sound of keys jingling. Ashley stood up, keys in hand, and took her dirty dishes to the sink. Imani followed after her, "soooo, your leaving?" The statement coming out more like a question.

Ashley turned to face her. Blush on her face accompanied by a small, meek, smirk. "Yep. Got tons of homework and I kinda, sorta, didn't tell my parents I was staying the night" her voice trailing off at the end.

"Ash. What the..." Imani looked back at the small tot sitting at the table eating hash browns with syrup. She leaned forward, "fuck?" A harsh whisper coming out making Ashley laugh. Brunette brows started to knot.

Ashley slung and arm around Imani. "Chill out! My parents aren't strict in the least, plus I've done far worse than stayin' out all night." Ashley then started walking towards the front door again after letting the girl go from under her arm.

Imani huffed a little bit a stuck out her bottom lip. The blonde turned a looked at her, "what's wrong?" She asked confused and hoping she didn't say the wrong thing. The brown girl padded over, wrapped her arms around her, and looked up with puppy eyes.

"I'm gonna miss you." A whimper at the end to add to the sting.

"Aww, I'll see you at school tomorrow Mani." Ashley said with a small laugh,her face completely red, and a small part of her thinking this was either a dream or a fucked up joke.

Arms wrapped tighter, "c-...can we chill after cheer practice?" Imani asked looking up from the girls chest.

"Uh yeah that cool with me..." Ashley started, "that's like hella cool bro, not that I see you as a bro or anything I very much see you as a girlfrien-fuck that was too fast right?!?! Am I movin' too fast" she started to ramble.

No one noticed that the small child had climbed out of the seat and made her way over to them.

"Shut up!"

The girls look down to see Jewel with a frustrated look on her face and her tiny fist clenched. Imani quickly unraveled her arms and bent down to the tots height. A stern look on the other girls face resembling that of a mother as she said, "who you think you talkin' to lil' girl? Just cuz yo' momma not home don't mean you can act up." a finger was then pointed at Ashley who felt awkward during this interaction, "apologize right now!" Imani exclaimed. Jewel rolled her brown eyes as much as her little body could handle and walked up to the the tall blonde.

"I'm sorry. You just talk a lot"

"Girl! Imma-"
