What AM I doing here...?

Gloria's eyes were locked on Bea's lips, her fingertips reaching up to meet her hands that were resting on her cheeks lightly.

Is this... What I should be doing right now? Do I actually feel...

"Bea..."

Gloria's head slowly got closer to her face, Bea's intense gaze suddenly dropped to Gloria's lips as well.

I'm here to prove Marnie wrong.

Gloria grabbed Bea's hands, lacing her fingers with hers as she backed away ever so slightly. She gave Bea a pained look as she let in a sharp breath.

"Wait... just wait a second for me..." Gloria said sadly, her eyes scanning Bea's confused face.

"Listen, Bea— I think you're great. You're funny, you're responsible, you're kind— which is why I want to make sure I'm not—" Bea's face looked crushed as Gloria searched the fissures of her mind to find the right words, "I'm not doing the right thing now. I promise— if you give me a chance— I'll explain to you why if things go right." Gloria backed away and let go of her hands, cringing at how cryptic she sounded. She was so embarrassed, she could feel her blush all the way to the top of her shoulders as she nervously played with her hair.

Bea started playing with her waistband again, eyes glued to the ground.

Gloria wanted to take everything back and kiss her, see her laugh, make her smile. But she wasn't here to do that. She was here to make sure Bea was alright and to set her schedule for training.

How can I make this right? Would telling her the truth make it right??

Gloria's chest was constrained by anxiety, she wringed her hands as words started to sputter out of her mouth.

"Bea." Her tan face shot up, her slightly narrowed eyes met Gloria's. "I'm just— you are really hot to me. I want to make out SO bad. You drive me nuts when I'm around you. But I just recen—" Gloria noticed Bea walking toward her determinedly; Gloria decided to continue, "—r-recently got ou—"

Bea's lips were now on hers. Gloria's eyes widened as Bea's arms looped around her neck softly, one hand lacing her fingers through Gloria's hair. It felt heavenly. Gloria melted into the kiss, placing her hands on her waist and pulling her closer. Bea's lips were so soft and warm, and the cool spring breeze caressed the two of them as Gloria slid her tongue gently across Bea's bottom lip. Gloria felt the tension between them break like a guitar string as Bea's lips parted, letting Gloria's tongue explore hers. A passionate hum from Gloria vibrated against Bea's mouth as she deepened the kiss.

The two finally broke away, looking at each other intensely. Bea's hands had slid down to hold Gloria's arms. Gloria's hands slowly slid up Bea's waist, her fingers sliding beneath her cropped tank top. Bea's eyes shot back to the house, then back to Gloria.

"Don't go anywhere."

Bea pushed herself away and ran back inside. Gloria could hear rummaging and muffled hollers, she smiled to herself. Her smile quickly turned into a frown.

Uh oh. Wait this is the exact opposite of what I wa—

Bea burst back outside running breathlessly to Gloria.

"Uppsy Daisy!" Bea said with a coy smile. Gloria was suddenly in Bea's arms as she carefully walked back inside. Gloria started blushing madly, looking at Bea with wide eyes once more. She placed her hand on her chest to stabilize herself, causing her heart to race even faster.
