Just for Summer (Bxb)

Holly and Danielle

"What do you want to do?"

Holly was leaning her head on her hand, her destroyed hair still sprawled gracefully on Danielle's bed, her other hand picking at cuticles on her fingers.

"Well, we could go to the park? Wanna go to the music sho-" Danielle started, innocently.

Innocent. Holly could laugh right at that word's face.

"You know what I mean." Holly interrupted, her pink, glittery eyelids making an appearance when she closed her eyes in a sigh.

Danielle has been avoiding this conversation for a week, now. This important conversation.    She tried and tried to ask what Danielle wanted to do with... this. It was confusing.

Danielle kept giving Holly those eyes that told her that she wanted this, her fleeting kisses telling her she needed it.

But Danielle never said a word. She needed Danielle to say something.

Danielle sighed and looked down at her fiddling hands. She also didn't know what this was, and if she was honest with herself, she would know that she was just scared.

Before Holly, Danielle had never been in a 'relationship' before. Or 'dated', or 'messed around' with other people. She was scared of that too, she knew that. With Holly it was different though.

With Holly it was easy. They just instantly flowed into the rhythm of it, no need to stop and think about what to do next, how they are at it. It was like blood flowing through veins, a river flowing down a mountain. It didn't need instruction.

"I want..." Danielle started, but she didn't finish. She didn't know what she wanted.

"You don't have to... say it now." Holly interrupted. She smiled at Danielle when she looked up at her, her black eyes had furrowed eyebrows above them.

Inhaling through her nose, Danielle then smiled back.

"What do you want?" Danielle asked this time.

Holly stared at her crush, licked her lips and also inhaled through her nose. She wanted to say this for so long.

"I just want you." Holly stated. Sitting up, crossing her legs, still keeping eye contact.

"All of you." Holly slid off the bed to stand in front of Danielle, who parted her lips at the confession.

Because this was a confession, right?

"I liked you since forever, Danielle." Holly blinked, sniffing.

"I want you to be my girlfriend." She finally said, mountains of weight falling off her shoulder like and earthquake, and Holly felt the urge to cry.

Holly brought her face so close to Danielle's that she could smell her shampoo, and whispered, "just think about it."

"I have to go. My Dad'll be home by now." Holly stepped back, her cheeks filling with blood.

Danielle nodded. She couldn't speak yet, she could only just about move her body, her black eyes were still connected to blue ones.

"Bye, then." Holly said, her hand grasping Danielle's shoulder for a second too long.
