-hey marissa its maihua! -
-do you want to hang out -
-this weekend? -
-sure! um we could go -
-ice skating? i haven't -
-been since last year -
-sure! we can go back to my -
-house and watch a movie? -
-i mean um yeah:) -
Maihua POV:
I have a plan. I'm bad at ice skating, so she would have to hold onto me and teach me. We would get some food and I would ask her about school and dating - see if she will admit that she likes girls. I'm almost certain she does. Then, we will go back to my house and watch a movie. I'll pick out a scary one and get her a blanket and she will hide under the blanket and cuddle me.
Maybe then... maybe then we would kiss. I don't know! I haven't felt this way about a girl in a while, and it was kind of fast but Marissa and I had always clicked easily. I had always felt like I could trust her and talk to her. When we were in middle school, we weren't really close but she comforted me a few times after other kids had bullied me. She has always been there for me and I knew there was something more between us. x
I already know what I'm going to wear. Black pants, an ivy green turtleneck, one thin silver chain, and a long black jacket.
Marissa POV:
I am so nervous for our date!! I have a plan. I'll tell my mom I'm going out with Natalie. We do almost every weekend so I'm sure it will be fine. The only problem is that Maihua said she would come and pick me up. I'll have to drive a few blocks away and then give her an address there. I hate that I have to do that, but my mom would get so mad if she found out.
I'm not sure what to wear. On Saturday, I go through my whole closet. I feel like I have nothing to match Maihua's impeccable style. I settle on ripped mom jeans, a tan belt, and a Fleetwood Mac shirt.
---------------------------Saturday night--------------------------
I'm waiting outside for Maihua to pick me up. My mom was fine with me "hanging out with Natalie". Thinking about Natalie makes me sad - I didn't tell her about Maihau and me. Not that there's anything going on, I mean. But I always tell her everything I just didn't know how to tell her this - which is just two friends catching up of course.
-i'm almost there! -
-don't text and drive dummy -
-hey shut up;) you -
-look so cute -
I was so confused for a second until I looked up, and there she was. She pulled her car over near me and I couldn't move for a second. Her eyes were so bright and she grinned at me, happy she had tricked me. Then she winked, and I felt myself blushing again. I mumbled something about it being cold out as I got in the car, as though that would excuse my redness.
Maihua POV:
She was so cute when she got in. She was totally blushing! The weird thing was that I didn't recognize her house. Even though I hadn't been there in years, I could have sworn it didn't look like this one.
"Hey Marissa.... have you moved? I don't remember your house looking like this."
She sat up straight and looked out sharply. "Huh! No, it's always been like this what do you mean. Come on let's go."
It was a little weird, but I was too excited to dwell on it. I had Hayley Kiyoko playing and "Girls like girls" came on. I glanced over at her and saw that she was nodding her head a little and started dancing to it. Her dance was adorable - it was so bad! But she didn't care and I couldn't help but smile at her. She looked over at me and smiled back and my heart skipped a beat. She was so precious - I almost felt like she was too precious for me. I don't think she had ever dated anyone before, and definitely not a girl. I had already dated 3 people and I lost my virginity two years ago. My last ex had fucked me up, and all a sudden I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to love Marissa like she deserved. What if I was too messed up?
Marissa POV:
Maihua played "Girls Like Girls" and I couldn't tell if it was on purpose or not. As I was dancing to it, I looked over and she was smiling at me. Maihua had done this before for sure. I had no clue what I was doing!! What if I was too innocent for her? What if I didn't know how to love because I had never done it before? I barely even knew if I liked girls, how could I like her so much?
