cuddling closer, whispers This... scene is really intense, huh?
I look at Amaya to see what she’s looking at on the TV since she’s not talking about what’s happening on it.
blushes and quickly looks away, whispers I... uh... sorry. I didn't mean to distract you from the movie. It's just...
takes a deep breath, mustering courage It's just... I've been thinking about us lately. Our relationship, I mean.
yea…. why? Is something wrong?
No, nothing's wrong. Well, at least not necessarily. It's just... I've been feeling a certain way lately. About you.
pauses, looks down nervously I... I think I have romantic feelings for you, Vulpitt.
oh…you do?..and I have those feelings for you too Amaya!
gasps, eyes widening Wait, really? You feel the same way?
yeah…why do you think we get along so good!?
smiles shyly, leans in and kisses Vulpitt softly I've been waiting so long for this moment...
I return the kiss me too…I was so afraid if I said anything we would lose our relationship.
rests her head on Vulpitt's shoulder, whispers I'm glad we can be honest with each other now. This feels... right.
it does!I say snuggling up next to her.
runs her fingers through Vulpitt's hair, sighs contentedly I never want this moment to end.
Neither do I! I hug Amaya tight.
giggles softly So, now that we've confessed our feelings, what do we do next? Should we go on a date or something?
maybe! but how about we start out by keeping this relationship private for now? my boyfriend doesn’t know I’m gay and Amaya…I never told any of my friends I had a crush on my sister!
nods understandingly I get it. Let's keep it between us for now. We'll take things slow and figure out what we want to do next.
perfect. oh wait! I know! we’ll start dating secretly! that way we can see if it’s actually true love or not! or it might just be lust.
pauses, furrows her brows Wait, are you saying we should hide our relationship because you're afraid of how others might react?
I mean…yeah…not a lot of people are accepting of gay people….and you gotta know…I’ll never change my mind Amaya…I’m in love with you.
sighs, fidgets with her fingers Vulpitt, I understand your concerns, but hiding our relationship feels... wrong.
What do you mean? Why does it feel wrong?
looks determined It feels wrong because we deserve to be happy and true happiness comes from being ourselves.
stands up, pulls Vulpitt up with her Let's not hide anymore. Let's be proud of who we are and show the world how much we love each other.
you’re right Amaya! Let’s live proudly as a lesbian couple!
grabs Vulpitt's hand and leads her outside Come on, let's go tell everyone the good news!
I grab Amaya’s hand as well. okay…lead the way!
smiles brightly, walks confidently towards their friends' hangout spot Let's show them how amazing our love is, Vulpitt.
arrives at the hangout spot and takes a deep breath Hey everyone, can I talk to you for a moment? Amya's friends look surprised and curious, but gather around her to hear what she has to say. Amaya takes a deep breath and comes out to her friends, boldly declaring her love for Vulpitt.
I look nervously at Amaya but remain silent.
takes Vulpitt's hand, locks eyes with her friends I have something important to tell you all.
I remain silent waiting to hear how this goes
takes a deep breath, speaks confidently I'm in love with Vulpitt, and I want to be with her.
My girlfriend shows up during this conversation. Huh? Oh hey babe!
freezes, eyes widening in shock Oh... um... hi... stammers
Babe…I need to tell you something…
gathers her courage, stands tall Excuse me, but this is important. Can you please wait a moment?
The look on Amaya’s friends face was of shock! They could not believe that Vulpitt’s girlfriend was here! Amaya didn’t know how to react or what to do!
takes a deep breath, gathers her thoughts Look, I understand that this might come as a shock to all of you, but Vulpitt and I have been exploring our feelings for each other. We have a deep connection that we can't ignore. We want to be together, and we want to be honest about it. Friend 1: raises an eyebrow Are you serious? Vulpitt is in a relationship... with you?
