Grace and Olympia (lesbian story)

Escaping

I fucked up. Whereas five seconds ago she had looked as if being with me was the best thing that had ever happened to her, right now she looked like she could kill me right there and then. I was speechless, had I actually been stupid enough to believe she'd want to marry me? "Fuck, I'm sorry. I thought, I thought you wanted this too."
"I don't know what to tell you, I'm just..."
I needed to get out of there as fast as i could.
"I understand, you don't need to say anything. I just have to go"
I got up from the bed and tears rolled down my cheek. As I opened the door Olympia blurted "Stop. Look at me" She sounded desperate, but I couldn't face her, not after this. I didn't turn back.
I was already out the door when I felt her hand seize my wrist. "I said, look at me"
This time, i turned. Her eyes were fixed on me. "I don't want to marry you." God, how many times was this girl gonna give me hope, just to break my heart again? This time I didn't try to hide it.
Tears rolled fiercely and i sobbed. She looked worried for me.
"No, that's not what i meant. I don't want to marry you here. This kingdom. Your parents. They all hate me here." A flint of hope lit up in me again. "They don't hate you. They just weren't raised this way, they don't understand."
She was livid.
"Don't. You need to stop protecting them. I know know about all the shit they said and did. I want to have a life with you, but I don't want to keep hiding. And that's all we would be able to do here.
"So what are you suggesting?"
"Run away with me. We'll get away from here, and go somewhere, anywhere. We can get married then."
She said it. She finally said what all my life I had wanted but never thought would happen. "You're crazy" I respond, with a smug on my face.
"Is that a yes?" She pulled me closer
"It's a yes" Suddenly we were on the bed and she was kissing the salty tracks in my face where tears had fallen. She was on top of me and holding my body as if she would never let go. An overwhelming feeling of love came over me and I pushed her down closer to my body. The space between us felt like torture. I needed her, and by the looks of it, she needed me too.
