Tola's p.o.v.
After my revolutionary morning with Talie, I spent the rest of the day at her house. We watched movies, made pizza with bizarre toppings, and just talked. I don't think I'll ever get sick of talking with her.
We also spent some more time in her room, making out. Mind you, with the door locked this time.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of kissing Talie, either. I grinned at the memory as I walked home.
Our feelings for each other are pretty evident by now. However, I don't know if Talie is ready yet to be out about it to everyone yet. Feeling a twinge of sadness, I quickly pushed it away. I know that Natalie will come out when she's ready, and I can wait until that time comes.
Climbing the stairs up to my apartment, I unlocked the door and shut it behind me.
“Tola, is that you?” I heard my mom call from the living room.
Biting back a sarcastic reply, walked to the living room. She was sitting in an armchair, her laptop on her lap. I smiled at her and flopped down on the couch.
“Hey mom.” I said, leaning back and relaxing.
She studied my face with curiosity. “You look strangely happy. What's up?” she asked.
I grinned. “What, I'm not allowed to be spontaneously happy for no reason?” I joked.
My mom rolled her eyes, chuckling, and waited for a real answer.
Abruptly remembering that she didn't approve of my sexuality, I snapped my mouth shut. I avoided her eyes, looking down at my shoes. Would she be disgusted if I told her about my feeligns for Natalie? How could someone be disgusted at love? I really didn't think this through...
“Tola, I'm waiting.” my mom prodded with a smile. I toyed with the hem of my shorts.
“Well... uh, I guess, um, I'm in...love?” I replied shakily. My mothers smile brightened.
“Really?! That's great honey!” she exclaimed. My shoulders sagged in relief. I'm so glad she doesn't hate me. I was being paranoid, thinking she would hate me. I AM her DAUGHTER, after all.
“When do I get to meet him?” she pressed. My head snapped up, and I stared at her in disbelief.
Of course she knew what she was doing when she specifically said him, not her. It was her way of saying 'it better be a boy'. My heart sank in my chest.
“Mom, it's... Mom, she's a girl.” I choked out quietly. She blinked slowly, as if processing this information.
“Tola, you can't be in love with a girl. It's not natural.” she said gently, as if correcting a confused child.
