Grace and Olympia (lesbian story)

Heart break

Laying in bed that night I thought of Jeremy and his family and a tear rolled down my face. I was so grateful to have them as my family, even if we weren't kin.
And then I thought of Olympia and my heart tightened. I still wanted to marry her, that much hadn't changed. I had gone to Jeremy for advice, but I knew in my heart that this was something I'd have to do on my own.
Suddenly a wave of emotions struck me so strongly that I got up and walked to her room. I was done with being afraid. I would give myself to her and it would be her decision whether to keep me or shatter my heart.
I knocked. No one answered. Maybe she was sleeping, it was late and I probably shouldn't be bothering her. Slowly I opened the door, being careful not to make any noise. The light from the nightstand flooded the hallway and inside Olympia sat in the bed, holding her knees and crying tears onto her lap. I froze. Out of all things I had not expected to find her crying in her room, was I really so oblivious to everything going on around me? I was probably even the cause of her tears.
"Olympia" I tried using the calmest and softest voice I could gather in me. "Olympia, baby, what's wrong?"
She looked up at me and I couldn't help but notice how even whilst crying she had an astounding beauty. "Grace, just-just leave me alone."
She looked wrecked, I didn't understand, I had seen her less than an hour ago and she had looked fine. "Oli, please let me help you. Just tell me what happened" She finally snapped. "Do you take me for a fool?! What happened? Don't stand there and pretend you don't know! If you had just told me from the beginning I wouldn't have allowed myself to fall. I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" She said that last sentence in such despair that I was taken aback. Never had I seen her like this. "I-I do love you. How could you ever think otherwise? I don't understand."
"Stop! Just stop! We may not know each other for long but I truly allowed you to take my heart. I just never thought you would break it!"
She was making less and less sense to me. "I truly have no idea what you are talking about babe."
"UGH! I know you were lying about where you found the child today! I noticed you sometimes sneaked out of the castle at night, so tonight I followed you to see where you went. And I saw you." Tears rolled fiercely down her face "I saw you with that boy. How could I be so blind. When I first got here you were expecting my brother and- I guess I just let myself believe you could love me. But don't worry, I'm leaving first thing in the morning, so you'll never have see me again!"
Relief washed over me. It was all a misunderstanding. Then I burst out laughing, I laughed out of relief and disbelief. Did she really think that me and Jeremy were in love? I was laughing so much that I barely woke the entire castle up.
"Are you- Are you laughing? How dare you break my heart and show so little compassion? I guess I didn't really know you did I?" I jumped to the bed and held her. Then I kissed her with all I had in me. The kiss was messy with desire and her hair tangled in my hands. After along moment I pulled her gently away just to see the look of bewilderment in her eyes. I spoke savagely and with despair. " I love you. I love you and only you. God damn me before I ever stop loving you." Her eyes filled with hope. "But the boy, the sneaking around, wha-"
"Jeremy is my friend. We've known each other since we were kids. I'm sorry I lied to you." Before I could explain anything else she pulled me in and her lips touched mine. Gently at first and then desperate and fervent and intense. I could feel her smiling and her heart beating fast. I pulled her in closer as if I could crash her bones with mine and make all the space between us disappear. Between kisses I gasped for air and held her face. "Do you know why I went there? To Jeremy's? And why I came into your room tonight?" "Why?" She sounded dreamy and distant. "I wanted to marry you, that's why." As if someone had slapped her in the face, her expression completely changed. "YOU WHAT?"
