[color=6A5ACD]"Yeah, she's totally coming. Again, I was super surprised! But seriously though. Try not to fight boys. And lady."[/color] [color=92278f]"Pfffft, Lady."[/color] Alyssa snorted grinning. Kimberly winked at her. [color=6A5ACD]"Yes. [i]My[/i] lady."[/color] Soaking in the joy of seeing everyone come together, Kimberly spotted a very familiar face as her face burned slightly. Miranda had just showed up as Kimberly didn't know what to think. The kiss on the cheek was still very much in her mind from the cafe yesterday. Did she like Miranda? Well, yeah, but not like that. But was that the truth? She wasn't sure. What she was sure though was that she had someone that meant a lot to her. Alyssa. They'd been through so much. She didn't make the wrong choice. She smiled. Kimberlyssa. When Miranda came up and said hi, Kimberly felt her warm body wrap around hers. She returned the hug as she smiled. [color=6A5ACD]"I'm fine. Sorry about yesterday. I just wasn't ..."[/color] About to blush furiously, she felt Miranda inch closer to her face. Instead of kissing her, she whispered 'sorry'. Kimberly felt her heart sink. [color=6A5ACD]"Don't be ... I'm so sorry I overreacted."[/color] Giving Miranda another friendly smile, she watched as she moved on to say hi to everyone else. Kimberly's eyes lingered on Alyssa and Miranda. She looked away when Miranda kissed Alyssa's cheek. Alyssa looked towards Miranda as she exchanged a hug and peck with Kimberly, then...whispered something in her ear. Alyssa knew that Miranda was a...switch hitter, and had always kind of suspected Riley of it too. Miranda came to her next with her own hug and brief kiss, her cheek burned a little as a knot began forming in her stomach. Letting her say her hi's to Miranda, Kimberly saw another face. She smirked. It was Charlie. [color=6A5ACD]"Hey womanizer,"[/color] she said. [color=6A5ACD]"This trip's going to rock!"[/color] [color=92278f]"Hey...yeah, missed ya huh."[/color] She replied weakly, maintaining her smile by force of will alone. [color=92278f]"Oh hey Charlie!"[/color] Suddenly she felt a little surrounded. [color=92278f]"I'm gonna to make sure I've got everything, be back in a minute ok?"[/color] She turned and headed back to Riley's room, she hadn't left anything. She just needed some space. Before she could start up further conversations, Kimberly watched as Alyssa left the growing lake partiers. Alyssa played a strong face as always, but Kimberly knew her pretty damn well to tell something else was up. Though silence and time alone wasn't always a bad option, Alyssa was the other half to her 'real' her. Even if there wasn't anything wrong, she had to make sure. Finding a good time to sneak out, Kimberly looked at everyone before she followed Alyssa's trail. She had an idea where she went." Kimberly's a pretty, smart, funny, and friendly girl. She was surrounded by girls that would likely kill for the chance to be with her...if they knew she swung that way. [i]'Would I be with Kimmy if she could choose anyone...or is this...convinient'[/i]. No, no way. Alyssa took deep breaths. Her and Kimmy had been best friends for a long time, always got a long, Kimmy's always helped her when she needed it, and vice versa. Alyssa's little sister Emily even 'ships' them together, which used to cause Alyssa no small amount of stress. [color=92278f]"She's with me because she wants [i]me[/i], not [i]someone[/i]."[/color] Alyssa muttered taking a seat on Riley's bed to collect her thoughts a bit. Finding herself outside Riley's room, Kimberly took a deep breath. She knocked on the door and opened it. She found Alyssa sitting there. Thinking from the looks of it. Crossing the room, Kimberly took a seat next to Alyssa. [color=6A5ACD]"Hey ... you okay?"[/color] Alyssa looked up to see none other than the subject of her affections and stupid unconcious fear. [color=92278f]"Oh...uh, thought I might have left my phone here, but it was in my pocket."[/color] She deflected in what was probably a record worst for her. Alyssa was embarassed she was having these thoughts, these doubts. Here Kimmy was after all, and she had always been there. Kimberly frowned. She reached over and took Alyssa's hand in hers. She gave her girlfriend's hand a gentle squeeze. [color=6A5ACD]"You've never been a good liar. Lyssa...?"[/color] [color=92278f]"It's just..."[/color] Alyssa decided to come clean, hiding things from Kimberly had never done her any good. [color=92278f]"You're beautiful, and funny, and smart, and everyone likes you."[/color] She leaned over and rested her head on Kimmy's shoulder. [color=92278f]"I had this stupid thought, that you could have anybody, and maybe you were only with me because....I know."[/color] Alyssa continued quickly, her eyes tearing up a bit with a mixture of embarasment and a tiny twinge of fear. [color=92278f]"I know it's not true, we've known each other a long time and you wouldn't do that. I'm sorry...I just...I don't know. I can be stupid sometimes."[/color] Kimberly felt a numbness prickle across her chest. She bit her lips as she let Alyssa finish. This couldn't be easy for Alyssa. She knew that. Unlike herself, everyone knew Alyssa swung for the same team. Herself however? Everyone thought she just hadn't found Mr. Right yet. Not that she was actively looking. She wanted a Mrs. Right. Mrs. Right was sitting right next to her. It was impossible not to see their little thing as a product of convenience. Kimberly was going to dispel that. When? She wasn't sure. How? She also wasn't sure. She was navigating uncharted waters. She couldn't even talk to her parents about it. That was the worst part about it all. She leaned her head on Alyssa's. [color=6A5ACD]"Don't you ever say something so ... sad again. You hear me? When have I ever done something I didn't want to?"[/color] she asked. [color=6A5ACD]"I've always been transparent. Right? I mean, sometimes I'm not but most of the time."[/color] She bit the inside of her cheek. [color=6A5ACD]"I'm ... sorry you can't tell people. If ... it hurts you too much, you can always ... you know ..."[/color] It hurt to entertain the thought, but Kimberly wasn't about to tie Alyssa down to some secret romance. That'd be ... cruel in every way possible. [color=92278f]"No way."[/color] Alyssa eyes widened at Kimberly's hinted suggestion. She wiped the remainder of moisture from her eyes and turned to face her. [color=92278f]"I'm in this for the long haul...wherever it ends up, I want to be there with you."[/color] [color=92278f]"It'll hurt sometimes, I'm sure, and I might have some doubts. I've never doubted my feelings for you though Kimmy. I just don't want you to be with me just because I'm the only one that knows, that's all. If you can promise me you're not, I can deal with anything else that may come."[/color] Alyssa looked away blushing. [color=92278f]"I'm not very pretty, or smart, I have trouble talking to people sometimes, and get into a lot of fights. I can be moody, and get down sometimes, but If you want [i]me[/i], you can have me."[/color] Kimberly lifted her head as she turned her body towards Alyssa. She cupped Alyssa's face in her hands. [color=6A5ACD]"I'm direct. I'm super obnoxious. I'm too friendly for my own good," [/color] she said. She placed her forehead against Alyssa's. [color=6A5ACD]"You're pretty. You're smart. Your personality is cute. I've always been there for you, and that's not going to change. Unless you ask me to leave."[/color] Giving Alyssa one of her trademark winks and planting a brief kiss on her forehead, Kimberly pulled away. [color=6A5ACD]"I said yes to you not because you were a quick fix, but because I wanted this,"[/color] she said. [color=6A5ACD]"Promise, cross my heart, hope to die. Yadda yadda all that good stuff."[/color] Looking about, Kimberly looked down at Alyssa's pocket. [color=6A5ACD]"If you found your phone, let's get back to the others. We have a adventure to embark on, no?"[/color] What magic is this? Alyssa's forehead bloomed with warmth in the wake of Kimmberly's kiss, it overtook her face quickly in what she was sure was a blush to be remembered. At the same time her little knot of worry dissolved at her words and touch. Kimmy'd had the key to Alyssa's heart for longer than she'd like to admit, and just like that she was golden again. If a little pain and worry was all this would cost, Alyssa would gladly pay. [color=92278f]"Then we'll be here a long time me and you."[/color] She looked up, beaming again. She stood and checked her pocket to ensure that, in fact, her phone was indeed there. [color=92278f]"Maybe we'll fight a bear or something huh?"[/color] Kimberly scoffed. [color=6A5ACD]"If we see a bear, we'll snap a quick pic then run,"[/color] she said. [color=6A5ACD]"Actually, I think running from a bear is something you don't want to do."[/color] [color=92278f]"Thanks."[/color] Alyssa nudged Kimmberly's shoulder. Flashing her pearly whites at Alyssa, she traced her fingers down Alyssa's arm. [color=6A5ACD]"No need for thank, silly,"[/color] she said. [color=6A5ACD]".... So, alright. Let's get moving. God, it's kind of getting warm in here..."[/color] [color=92278f]"Or...you could kiss me...then we could go."[/color] Alyssa flashed a grin and winked. Kimberly's face burned. She looked down as she thought about it. Meeting Alyssa's twinkling eyes and that stupid, silly, smirk, Kimberly slowly closed the distance between her lips and Alyssa's. Then she stopped. She playfully tapped the tip of Alyssa's nose. [color=6A5ACD]"Let's go,"[/color] she said as she took Alyssa's hand and led her to the door. [color=6A5ACD]"We've plenty of time, missy."[/color] [color=92278f]"That we do."[/color] Alyssa said happily, her heart thundering and her grin bright. The two went to rejoin the others.
