The not so straight Ingrid Brandl Galatea

Ingrid Galatea and the hidden feelings

It was getting late. After Dorothea and Ingrid were done eating they grabbed some beers and went to binge some random series on netflix. Dorothea was actually enjoying it but Ingrid couldn't concentrate on the show, lately whenever she was with Dorothea she felt warm and like everything else didn't matter. At first she thought it was normal to feel this way around friends, but she didn't feel it when she was with Sylvain or Felix or Dimitri, she felt comfortable with them but it wasn't the same, she didn't get it, she would ask Sylvain about it later.

She decided to try and watch the show but it was really late for that, she didn't knew any of the characters, and maybe they had a little too much to drink. Luckily for her after a while Dorothea began to fall asleep show Ingrid turned off the tv.

"Come on Dorothea, it's getting late and you seem to be tired" Ingrid stood up from the couch and gave Dorothea her hand to help her.

"I would love to enjoy this time with you a little bit more but you're right, I am falling asleep. It was a long day today" Dorothea rest her weight on Ingrid "Thank god you have strong arms Ingrid. Why don't you take me to bed bridal style?" She joked

Ingrid laugh at the comment and carried Dorothea as she requested "You mean like this?" She said still laughing.

"Ow... Umm... yes... Like this" Dorothea wasn't looking at her, her grip on Ingrid's arm tightened a little and Ingrid saw her flustered, it was then that she realized how romantic the scene looked. She immediately blushed. Yep, definitely drinking too much wasn't a good idea.

"Oh so- sorry" she stuttered "Do you want me to-" She was interrupted

"No, no. It's quite comfortable" Dorothea managed to look at her in the eyes, they both had red faces.

Ingrid carried her to her room and placed her on the bed. After placing her on the bed she rest her weight over her looking almost like a kabedon. They looked one another, her faces were closer than Ingrid would have liked, Dorothea placed her hand over her cheek the warmth felt good, Ingrid looked at her in the eyes. None of them move for a moment.

Ingrid finally realized the situation they ended up in and move immediately back "Give me a second. I'll give you something comfy to sleep" She said way to loud. She looked on her wardrove and grabbed some shorts and a tanktop fot Dorothea "Here try this, I'll be right back" After that she took her own pajamas and went straight to the bathroom.

What the fuck was that, they almost kissed, if Dorothea would have moved half an inch forward Ingrid would have go straight for it. "Oh my god" Ingrid finally put 2 and 2 togheter "Oh my god. I like her. I like her? But im straight, I can't like a woman, and even less if that woman is Dorothea who i already told her to not flirt with me. It would be hypocrite of my part" Ingrid was bombarded with new questions about herself. Did she like girls or just Dorothea? Does this mean she's gay or bi? What would her family think about her? She couldn't possibly be a lesbian, she was straight her whole life. She was probably confused. That was it. She would go back to the room and make things clear between her and Dorothea.

But once she changed and went back to the bedroom, Dorothea was waiting for her sitting on her bed with the clothes she lended her beside "Ingrid" She said standing up.

"Do-Dorothea" she stuttered again, fuck her "It's everything okay?"

"Not really. Look I think I need to go back to my dorm" She told her.

"What? Are you crazy? it's really late. What's the problem?" She was too concerned with this that she would have to wait to speak about the other thing.

"Ingrid. Trust me I can't stay"

"Would you care to tell me why?" No response "Dorothea please. talk to me. What's happening?"

"I need a little time to myself"

"This is so sudden, we where watching netflix just fine 15 minutes ago. Did I do something that pissed you off?"

"Ingrid we almost..." Dorothea was about to say something and Ingrid didn't needed to be a detective to know what was it.

"Oh. So it's about that. Look-" she was ready to apologize to Dorothea when...

"Im sorry Ingrid" why was she apologizing? "You told me that you were straight but I almost kissed you just because we had a fun night. I'm an awful friend" She was starting to cry "You must hate me"

"Dorothea no, i don't hate you" So Dorothea thought it was her fault? maybe it was? After all Ingrid wouldn't have kissed her right. She WAS straight after all. This was a relief. She was trying to fool herself at this point.

"Ingrid" Dorothea hugged her "Please. I need to go home"

"Of course" she finally told her "I'll take you home. I can't leave you alone this late" She had sobered up after what happened so she grabbed her keys, put on her clothes again and they went to the truck.

That was an uncomfortable ride. Ingrid's head was thinking a million things and Dorothea didn''t looked at her not once. Luckily the dorms aren't far from her building so they arrived in 10 minutes. Dorothea got out of the car and went to Ingrid's window, this one rolled it down.

"Ingrid. I'm sorry to ruined our night together. It was so fun to be with you and i blew it"

"No Dory. It's okay, you just need time to think. Look, I knew from the start that you were the flirty type and i didn't cared. You are a good person and as I said before, I would love to be your friend, dont sweat about this" what the fuck was she saying. It was her who almost kissed Dorothea, not the other way.

"My god Ingrid, you're too nice" Dorothea smiled "I promise i won't ruined our next night" After saying that she started heading back to her room.

Ingrid didn't wanted Dorothea to felt bad. But she didn' knew what to say,she was just an asshole. It was Dorothea who was too nice, she just was a moron who didn't knew what she wanted. She stood there on her truck watching her friend entering the dorm.

She stood there and after Dorothea was gone she hitted herself with the wheel "What am I doing. What's happening with me"
