Cheryl's POV                                                                                                                                                                        2 days later

 The next morning after my party Veronica's boyfriend, Archie Andrews was arrested. For Veronica times were pretty tough so I took her to stay with me for a few days to keep her sane. Toni wasn't home that much. She was leaving early in the morning and returning late at night. Lately she's been pretty busy with serpent stuff so we didn't spend much time together. Also I couldn't really figure out what is going on between us so I wanted to keep it private just yet. For two days I was busy keeping Veronica entertained. Shopping, cooking, movies were some kind of escape from reality for both of us. Veronica was thinking about Archie while I was thinking about Toni. I've never been in a relationship before so I had no idea what am I supposed to do next. What are people even doing after they had their first kiss? Me and Toni didn't really see each other after the night in the pool but I felt like I needed to talk about that. It was Saturday afternoon when Veronica left. I was too prideful to text Toni but at the same time it was everything I wanted. Anyways I was not going to do it because I didn't want to be clingy.  After a walk with nana Rose I put her to bed and ordered my dinner. After 15 minutes someone knocked on the door and for some reason I was sure it's the delivery person. Surprisingly it was Toni and as soon as I opened the door she jumped into my arms.

"Oh god, Cheryl, I missed this so much."

"I missed you. What have you been doing all this time?"

"Well, I was busy with serpent stuff... But not only that. You said you don't want anyone to know anything yet but the thing is.. I'm crazy for you. I knew I couldn't act like there is nothing between us but when I see you I get butterflies in my stomach and I crave for your touch. I'm not that good of an actor to ignore all that so I left. I didn't want Veronica to suspect something. I'm so sorr-" Toni couldn't finish talking as I cupped her cheeks and kissed her. Her smell filled my nostrils. She was so close... For as long as I remembered myself this was  the first time in my whole life when I didn't feel shy. Then she pulled me into a long hug. 

"Are you hungry? I ordered some pork noodles." 

"I'd kill for some hot food." Toni mumbled.

"Okay, go get changed, the food should be here by then."

"Obey, boss." She giggled, gave me an extra squeeze and got up the stairs. A few minutes later our food came. I made sure that its hot and set up the table. By that time Toni was already downstairs. "Damn, Cheryl, this smells amazing." We started eating. Toni was hurriedly swallowing and it felt like she couldn't get enough of it.

"You were really hungry, weren't you?" She couldn't answer because her mouth was full with food but she nodded instead. Hell, she was so cute. I missed her so much but did she? What were we? Am I a usual one time thing for her? Toni was quick to interrupt shit I was thinking about.

"Babe, I know what are you thinking about. I don't wanna see you struggle so I won't keep you waiting  long. I'm going crazy when I see you and I wanna spend all my time with you. Cheryl, will you be my girlfriend?"

"I would love that." She hugged me from back and kissed my cheek. 

"You look sleepy, let's go lay down." We got in my room and Toni whispered. "Wait a second I'll go get changed." She came back in a few minutes dressed in a yellow and black flannel PJ's.

"For record I j'adore your flannel mesh aesthetic but flannel pajama? Seriously, TT?" I giggled. She smirked but didn't say anything. She just laid next to me and squeezed me. 

"I'm the big spoon. Never forget that." As soon as I was about to open my mouth and resist she passionately kissed my lips. We were making out for so long that I forgot what was I mad about. When we finished she hugged me and we fell asleep. I remember how safe and comfortable I felt. The only thing I begged was not having a nightmare. I didn't want to move and make Toni wake up. 

next morning

I opened my eyes a lot earlier than Toni did. I couldn't move so the only the only thing that I could do was waiting. I can clearly remember what I was thinking about. I knew her for such a short amount of time but I could trust her. It felt like we've known each other for our whole lives. Someone might call me stupid for dating a girl I know for a bit longer than a week but it felt like the best decision in my entire life. She was so important to me. Even when I was thinking about her I got butterflies in my stomach. I wanted to feel her with my whole body. She was still sleeping when I started to play with her hair. Damn they were so soft. Her face was a literal perfection. At this point I felt like I lost control over myself because waking her up didn't seem a big deal. I couldn't handle that anymore, her lips were too alluring. I tried to kiss her and remain as unnoticed as possible. I couldn't really stay unnoticed because she responded to the kiss.  The taste of hers... That silenced my thoughts and made me want even more.

"For how long have you been staring at me, Blossom?" I thought she haven't noticed that. That was so embarrassing! I blushed really hard but she laughed it off. "I love this kind of mornings. Still a few days before school, warm weather, birds singing outside of the window and my gorgeous girlfriend laying next to me." This girl knew the manner of speaking. 

"Oh, TT, believe me you're not the only one with a stunning girlfriend. In fact I'm convinced that mine is better." I was playing with her slender fingers while making corrections to whatever she said and enjoying the slight annoyance she was feeling. At the end of the day it was just me and her against whole entire world and only god knows how many challenges are there going to be for our relationship. The thing I knew for sure that being with her made me feel happy and I haven't felt that way in years.
