🧡 Feelings

Okay everyone, since everyone thought me being with Merlyn was a good idea, here it is. Hope you all like it... ❤

I don't know what's been going on with me lately. Ever since the sleepover I had at Merlyn's house, I can't get our kiss out of my head or her. She's beautiful and sweet and funny and kind, and she always smells like cinnamon. But I shouldn't be feeling that way about my friend. I'm not gay... at least I don't think I am. I walk to Cordelia's door and knock softly. "Delia?" "Come in..." I open the door and walk in to find Delia reading a spell book. "Hey, Delia? Can I talk to you about something?" "'Of course, sweetheart. What is it?" She pats the spot next to her on the bed and I walk over and sit next to her. "Well, I've been thinking about this for the past couple days... I think I might have a crush on someone." "You do? Honey, that's great!" She wraps her arm around me and kisses the side of my head.

"Yeah... but here's the thing..." I hesitate, trying to think of the right words to say. "What is it?" She scoots closer to me and lays her hand on my shoulder. "You know you can tell me..." she lifts my chin up, giving me a soft smile that melts my heart every time. "I have a crush on a girl..." her eyes slightly widen and she grins softly. "Oh? Well, what is she like?" I look up at her and see nothing but love and caringness in her eyes. "Well... she's really pretty, and she always makes me laugh, and she's really smart too. And she's got really pretty hair and eyes." Delia grins softly and runs her fingers through the ends of my hair. "She sounds great. So have you told Merlyn you liked her yet?" "No, I-" my eyes grow massively wide and I look up at Delia lightning fast.

"Wh-what?" "I know you have a crush on Merlyn, sweetheart." She kisses my head and I say, "Y-you knew? How?" "Sweetheart, I'm a mom. I'm your mom, and moms can tell when their baby likes someone." She pinches my cheek, making me shove her hand away and start giggling. "Delia! Don't do that! I'm not a baby!" She chuckles and wraps her arms around my waist. "But you're my baby..." she pouts at me, making me roll my eyes and wrap my arms around her neck. "I hate it when you pout at me... " she chuckles and hugs me back. "Gets you every time, sweetheart." As we're hugging, we hear a knock at the door, making us both pull away. "Who is it?" We hear Billie's voice on the other side say, "It's me." "Come in." Billie walks in and smiles when she sees me. "Hello, babygirl."

She sits next to me and wraps her arm around me and kisses my head. "So Rhiannon was just telling me that she has a crush on someone..." "Delia!" She chuckles and Billie gives me this look that let's me know, Oh boy, here comes the teasing... "Awwww, my angel has a crush..." she kisses my head and hugs me tight, making me try to shove her away. "Billie..." I whine, making her and Delia chuckle. "So I take it you haven't told Merlyn you like her yet?" I look up at Billie and groan. "Oh God, you know too?!" She nods, giving me that mischievous smirk she's mastered over the years. "It's not hard to tell you like her, sweetheart. We've seen the way you act with her." I stand up and say, "I'm gonna go talk to Sally and Mina..." I walk out of Delia's room to hear them chuckling and saying how cute I am when I get flustered and blush.

I roll my eyes and walk into the living room to find Sally watching TV while Mina's reading a book. "Hey guys?" Sally and Mina both look up at me and smile. "Hey, babygirl!" "Can I talk to you guys about something?" Mina closes her book and lays it on the arm of the couch while Sally puts the TV on mute. "Of course, pumpkin. Is anything the matter?" "No, nothing's wrong. Just wanted to tell you guys something..." they both look at each other then back at me. I sit down in between them and I say, "So, I wanted to tell you guys... that I have a crush..." I look up at Sally and see she's got this smirk on her face that makes me know she probably knows already like Delia and Billie. "On who, darling?" Mina asks me with a soft and sweet smile. "I... I think I like Merlyn..."

Mina looks at Sally then stands up to get her purse. "Mina? What are you doing?" She digs in her purse and gives Sally $20. "Thank you, Venny..." "Sal, you freaking bet on me liking Merlyn?!" She chuckles and stands up. "Of course I did! We already knew you liked her, babe. Bill! Dee! You both owe me twenty bucks!" She walks off to go find the other two, and I facepalm myself, making Mina chuckle. "Ignore her, pumpkin. I think you should talk to Merlyn and tell her how you feel." "But what if she doesn't like me back?" She takes my hand and rubs her thumb over my knuckles. "Well, if she doesn't feel the same, then she's missing out on someone incredible." "Thanks, momma. I love you." I wrap my arms around her waist tight, and she hugs me back just as tight.

"I love you more, pumpkin..." It was the next day and I called Merlyn and asked her to come over to my house. I'm sitting in my room, watching TV, when I hear Billie yell out, "Rhiannon! Merlyn's here!" I stand up and take a quick look in the mirror to make sure I look presentable, then walk out to the living room. I walk in and find Merlyn sitting on the couch with the girls. "Hey, Merlyn!" She looks up at me and gets a big grin on her face. "Hey, Rhi!" She stands up and walks over to me and wraps her arms around me tight. "I missed you." "I missed you too. Hey, can we go in my room? I wanna talk to you about something..." She let's me go and nods her head. "Okay." She walks ahead of me and I turn my head to look at the girls and Billie winks at me while giving me a soft smile.

I grin and follow Merlyn into my room and I shut the door. "So what'd you wanna talk to me about?" She sits down on my bed and I walk over and sit next to her. "Well... it's really more I need to tell you something..." she nods, gesturing for me to go on. I take a deep breath and say, "Well, ever since we had that sleepover at your place... I've been thinking a lot." "About what?" She scoots closer to me and grazes her hand over mine. "About you... Merlyn, I... I think I like you." I look up at her and she has this look of shock on her face, making me know that she doesn't feel the same. "And if you don't like me back, I understand completely, and I hope you don't think badly of me and we can still be-" Merlyn cuts me off by cupping my face and kissing me like her life depended on it.

My eyes grow massively wide and I'm stiff as a board, but very quickly, I flutter my eyes closed and melt into the kiss, wrapping my arms around her neck, pulling her in closer. After a few more seconds, we pull away and she lays her forehead against mine. "I like you too, Rhi. A lot..." "Y-you do?" She nods and bites her lip, grinning softly. "I have ever since we kissed that first night..." we both chuckle and she pecks my lips. "So... how would you feel about me takin' you out on a date this weekend?" My heart starts beating faster and I get the biggest smile on my face. "I would feel freaking amazing!" I hug her tight, tackling her down onto the bed. "So I take it that's a yes?" We both giggle and I nod. "It's absolutely a yes." She brushes my hair behind my ear and leans up and kisses me softly.

"Then it's settled. On Saturday, I'm taking you out and we're going to have a wonderful night." We hear a knock on the door, making us both look over. I get off of Merlyn and we both sit up. "Yeah?" The door opens and Delia pokes her head in. "Everything okay in here, girls?" We both look at each other and she takes my hand and intertwines our fingers together. "Everything is perfect, Miss Goode." Cordelia notices our hands and smiles sweetly. "Then I'll leave you girls alone." She closes the door and Merlyn wraps her arms around my waist, pulling me onto her lap, making me giggle. "So, what would you like to do, sweetie pie?" I look at her and lay my forehead against hers. "Could we watch something?" "Anything you wish, darlin'..." we lay down and watch The Wizard Of Oz together as Merlyn lays behind me with her arm around my waist and her other arm under my head. "I can't wait till Saturday..." she whispers to me as she kisses the back of my head, making me blush hard. "Me neither."
