Asking Out

Olivia led Stella to the beach. If Stella didn’t know any better, she would have thought that Olivia was trying to be romantic here.

“Stella, I have an important question for you.” The look in Olivia’s eyes was making Stella slightly uncomfortable.

“Of course Mommy, just ask.” Stella blushed in shame and tried to look away, but Olivia gently cupped her cheek and leaned forward.

“Will you go on a date with me?” Stella’s eyes nearly flew out of her head.

“WHAT! Why me?” Olivia’s grip on her cheek tightened slightly and her face turned more serious.

“Because you seem incredible in so many ways. I want to get to know you better, and what better way than with a date.” Stella took in her words before smiling.

“Yes, I will. I want to get to know you better as well.” Olivia smiled, a different and more real smile than most of her others.

“That sounds great. I’d love to take you out today, if that’s ok?” Stella gently took Olivia’s hand in hers.

“That sounds great.”

…

When Jennifer asked Rachel to stay with her today, she didn’t think too much of it. The two of them have spent time together, well, all the time.

But she wasn’t expecting Jennifer to put on a shirt that showed zero cleavage.

“Jen, why are you doing this to yourself?”

“Hmm, oh, right. Morgan made a good point, um, what was it again. Oh right, I won’t always be able to wear something that shows cleavage. What about the cold season?” Rachel was about to say something to refute that, but couldn’t, as she realised that was a good point.

“Ok, I get it. So I’m guessing that you wanted to make sure that I could take care of you.”

“Yeah, that’s it. I know I can be a ditz sometimes, and you’ve always helped me when I am. So, that’s a nice view.” Jennifer ran ahead, looking out at the beautiful ocean. Rachel blushed at the sight. It was becoming more and more apparent to Rachel that she has a crush on her bestie. And seeing her act like a bimbo was madly turning her on.

Not that Rachel has fully connected to dots though. She’s getting there.

Rachel stood next to her bestie to admire the view. Even someone as dense as Rachel couldn’t deny how romantic this moment is. She looked at her bestie, and saw that she had her eyes closed with the wind perfectly blowing her hair. Rachel’s heart did a flip as she stared at her, words failing to form. Her eyes drifted to their hands, and the predictable thought came into her head.

She still wasn’t entirely sure what was going on with her, but she knew what she wanted at the moment. She interlaced her fingers with Jennifer’s, and looked back at the view.
