Lexie

I was lying under a tree. It was such a hot day. Sweat was dripping my down my forehead. I was expecting Lexie to come over in half an hour. I love Lexie. I’ve known her since forever. I remember when we were little we would have baths together and give each other bubble haircuts, by giving each other beards and moustaches. We were planning on going down to the creek in the morning, walking down to a nice café for lunch and then getting some ice-cream from our favourite ice-cream parkour, and then down to the beach to watch the sunset. We had been calling the entire night just talking about what we were going to do today. There were so many options but we decided to do something simple and casual.

When she got here we set off to the creek. There are lots of pebbles at the creek so they are never big enough to do a big skid on the creek. We wadded know the creek for about an hour looking at the different colours and sizing of rocks.

eventually we got bored and gave up. We headed to the café and had a really big gossip about boys, school, assessments we flunked. It was so nice, we have been friends since we were so young, we have known each other for years, we know everything about each other. When we go to the café to find that it was Valentine’s Day. We had completely forgotten. So when we got to the café it was covered in love hearts and pink confetti. We sat down anyway, (even though it was so cringey since we were both single) because we were starving and there food is amazing. It was kinda romantic though. There was a singular rose in the middle of the table and petals all on the floor. We got out of their pretty quickly though and started heading to the ice cream parlour. It was just around the corner, a five minute walk from the café. She was talking to me about how she thought something was missing in her life but she didn’t know what it was. It was kinda like she was trying to get me to figure it out but how am I supposed to know if she doesn’t know. We finally got there and We both got a double scoop. I got one chocolate scoop and one salted caramel fudge scoop and she got one strawberry scoop and one cookies and cream scoop. We were walking and eating our ice cream at the same time while heading to the beach. We had been talking for ten minuets talking about random rubbish which she started talking about home. It had always been a touchy subject because her parents were always fighting and the wife was being hit. She was asking inf she could spend the night because she needed a break, “it will only be for a bit, I know you don’t have room in your house but I’m desperate, please…” is what she would always say. I’m always fine with it, but I’m a bit concerned with her mental health. Anyway, she changed the subject pretty quickly and said we should hurry up if we want to get to the beach in time for the sunset. We got there just in time. 

We were lying under the sun, just waiting. We were talking about our birthdays coming up, I was a 2 months older then her (we are both 19) and how we were thinking of having a joined birthday party. Lots of our friends were always parting and hooking up with every boy that look at them, but not us. We were different. We were just living everyday like it was our last and seeing what was going to happen. We are the sort of people that go with the flow. We were both lying on the picnic blanket gazing at each other and suddenly she pulled me closer in. I didn’t know what she was doing but I just let it happen. Slowly she kept getting closer and closer and soon we were touching noses. Her hand was on my cheek bone. And her other hand was slowly entering my denim shorts back pocket. She definitely knew how to work the ladies. Eventually after what seemed like hours of her teasing my with her lips, she kissed me right on the lips with passion I’ve never felt when kissing anyone else. It felt like it was going for ages but it was only about 5 seconds. Then she pulled away and watched the sunset holding my finger with hers. The sun was a pinky purple tonight. It was so pretty. Afterwards we were walking back to my house with interlocked hands. Then she stopped outside the café we had had lunch and started kissing me hard on the lips, though this time I returned just as passionately as her because I had been expecting it this time. Then we had dinner enjoying the atmosphere and the food in the café. I had a steak and she had a risotto. And a big bowl of chips to share. And then we had a chocolate mousse to share for desert. I never would’ve though this little corner café to be so romantic.

Once we got home, we went for a shower together, which isn’t that weird because we have done it before because we are best friends, but this time, she close in on me, she cornered me in the shower. We teases me again with her tongue and was running her fingers along my body, I returned. I didn’t know how to feel. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to push her away or return the passion. Was I gay, bisexual, straight? I don’t know. I will just have to speak to her when we are talking later. Into bed and I was thinking about how I wish we had more days in the sun like today. We were finally in bed when I asked her about my thoughts. She said that our relationship could be a trial run to see if I was a lesbian or bisexual. We were just lying there looking at each other, noses together, when she just looked at me and said, “ what a day”.
