To make you be able to visualize the story better, Emilia is a very light brown and Alexa is white.
Emilia
Exams were in a few weeks, and tonight was supposed to be study night, but me, Alexa, Jordan, and Mika decided against studying. We unanimously decided that tonight would be a sleep over. I had to convince my parents because we were staying at my house. I told them that spending time with friends would reduce the stress that studying would bring upon us. After much arguing, my parents let me off the hook. Unfortunately, they also called all of the other girls' parents, who were not happy that their daughters were not going to study... even though we had plenty of time, and plenty more nights to study. And we had all been accepted into colleges anyways, what was the fucking point. We were legal adults too, we didn't have to deal with this bullshit... well ok, me and Alexa had only turned 18 a couple of months ago, and I'm not sure about the other two, but still, it was demeaning.
The only person who's parents didn't make her leave was Alexa. I was glad for that, the four of us had been good friends, but me and Alexa had especially connected, because of our... similar backgrounds. My parents also had to leave. They were doctors, which means that if the hospital calls, and they're needed, they're gone. It doesn't matter what else they're doing or working on, as soon as that call comes in, everything is dropped. It doesn't happen very often anymore, the hospital usually has others on hand, but I guess this time was different.
Now it was just me and Alex, I put on a movie, and although it was only 9:00 pm, we had both started to get a bit drowsy.
Alexa
That was a hell of a boring movie, but I didn't want to say anything. It's not that I didn't feel like I was good enough friends with Emilia to point out I didn't like the movie, in fact, it was quite the opposite, we were great friends, but for some reason, I felt a bit nervous around her. Just now I realized that this was the same kind of nervousness I felt when I was about to talk to my crush in 7th grade. I wasn't exactly the best looking girl at that time, and he was pretty damn popular. I brushed this idea out of my head as soon as I realized what it meant. No, I'm not that kind of nervous with Emilia.
As the movie neared it's end, I was actually falling asleep, my head slowly tilted to the side. I woke up a couple of seconds later, realizing my head was on Emilia's shoulder. I quickly jerked myself away. UGH, I shouldn't have jerked my head away, now shit's gonna get awkward. Why did I do that?! I've laid my head on a girl's shoulder before, I've laid my head on a guys shoulder before. I was acting like an anti-social weirdo. For fucks sake. Why did I overreact about laying my head on someones shoulder. To my surprise, she just smiled and focused her eyes back at the TV screen, which was a relief.
Emilia
Holy shit! Holy shit! HOLY SHIT! I think I was able to play it cool, but still, that was weird. Not because of the fact that Alex pulled her head away, but because of how I felt when her head was on my shoulder. I felt a tingling sensation run through my spine, and then some weird emotions started to peak their way into my mind.
"I'm tired, what time is it?" She asked after the movie was over, sounding tired.
"9:15" I answered.
"Only 9:15?"
"Yeah, but we can go to bed if you want, I'm feeling pretty sleepy too."
"Ok... oh yeah, I didn't bring anything to sleep in, so if you have a sleeping bag."
A thought started to form in my head. An idea.
"Well..." I said, and then paused.
We were planning on sleeping in the living room tonight, but that was because we thought there were going to be four people, now it's just us two. My bed was big enough for two people.
"We can both fit in my bed, and it's more comfortable." It took a lot of fricking courage to say that, it shouldn't have, that should've been a normal thing to ask, but for some reason, it wasn't.
Alexa
Emi suggested we could both sleep in her bed. Emi is her nickname by the way. "Why your bed? Are you going to seduce me Emi?" I said jokingly. I could see her face starting to blush so I gave a chuckle which I hoped would eliminate the awkwardness in the situation.
Emilia
As we opened the door to my room, I was starting to regret more and more the suggestion I had made. But Alexa seemed comfortable, she threw herself on the bed and patted the empty space next to her, signalling me to jump in. We were already in our pajamas, so we were good to go. I was about to turn off the lights when...
"Don't turn them off" said Alex.
"Why not, you scared of the dark?" I said with a smile.
"No... well ok, I am a little bit but the rea-" she said before I cut her off.
"Wait, your are afraid of the dark?!?"
"No no no, I said... I meant when I was little... not as much-"
I cut her off again.
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me" I said with a smile.
I lay next to her in bed, and used her fear of the darkness to start a conversation, we talked and talked like we usually did, and I was relieved that I had finally managed to cut through the slight awkwardness that had happened moments before and talk with her normally. After about 30 minutes, talk about boys and relationships came up, and out of nowhere Alex asked "Have you ever kissed a girl before?" we both laughed, I answered no and asked her the same, which to my surprise the response was
"Well, there was one time, and I was playing truth or dare with some friends, and it got a bit out of hand."
"Seriously?!" I asked.
"Well we didn't make out, it was just a quick tap of the lips."
"Ah, well that's boring" I responded.
"Boring? Well, I'd like to see if you could do it?"
"Are you daring me to kiss you Alex?"
"Am I?" She responded.
She put her forehead against mine, and smiled at me. I guess she was serious about the dare, without a second thought I went in for the kiss, it was a quick tap, our lips probably didn't even touch, but I regretted the decision I had made very quickly. While Alex was laughing, I was frozen in place, though I managed to crack a smile. That did not hide the fact that I felt weird about what just happened, and Alex picked up on that.
Alexa
I didn't think she would actually go for it, but I'm not complaining. As we were talking that night, before the kiss, I kept noticing the features of her face in detail, I don't think I quite admitted to myself that there were certain emotions I had towards her, but I did know it in the back of my mind.
After she kissed me, she was blushing like crazy. I laughed it off and to make her feel less awkward I jokingly asked "So did you enjoy it?" which might have not been the best thing to say. She gave a small chuckle and said "It wasn't bad." And I smiled back.
After some more talking, she turned off the lights, taking the opportunity to joke about my fear of the darkness again. I couldn't sleep that night, and no, I wasn't afraid of the dark. My mind just kept coming back to the memory of the kiss. After not being able to sleep for thirty minutes or so, I was bored, so I looked over to Emi and she was awake too. She could sense my glare so she looked at me, I responded with a smile.
"You're having a trouble falling asleep too?" She asked.
"Yeah..." I replied.
There was a moment of silence.
I was done with this nonsense, I was just going to be straight forward.
"You want to kiss me again?" I asked, regretting the words I just spoke right after.
"What?" Asked Emi, thinking that I was joking.
I wanted to say I wasn't, but I could not move my mouth.
Emilia
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy fucking shit!! She must have been joking right? Am I just overreacting? I couldn't be. Her face had a slight smile on it, but not the kind of smile she has after making a joke, and her face was turning slightly red. I moved my face closer to hers, but did not lean in for a kiss. There was still a half a feet of space between me and her, but I guess she took that as a yes, and she leaned in. Her lips touched mine, stayed their for multiple seconds, and then came off with a very slight smooching sound. My body started to feel numb, but not in a bad way. I'm not sure how to describe it. It felt warm and relaxed, I guess maybe somewhat like when you step into a warm bathtub.
Soon after her lips parted mine, she started apologizing. "Shit... I didn't... I'm sorry Emi... I... it was... I didn't... I thought..." She stepped out of the bed, and started heading towards the door. I wanted so badly to tell her to stop, to tell her I didn't dislike the kiss, to tell her to come back, but again like that time earlier tonight, I was frozen. She walked out of the room.
Alexa
For fucks sake, why did I do that? I went into the bathroom, I needed some time to think about everything that had happened that night. I washed my face with cold water, and sat down on the toilet seat, to completely comprehend what had just happened and decide how to deal with it. It was just a sudden impulse. I couldn't control it. What did Emilia think? What should I say? My mind was running with these thoughts for quite a while. After some time, I managed to calm my nerves, I realized I was overreacting, and all I needed to do was go in that room and apologize. Just a straight forward apology, nothing more, nothing less.
I stepped out of the bathroom and back into the room, where Emi was sitting at the edge of the bed. She looked at me as I entered the room. She stood up, I moved closer to her.
Emilia
I needed a lot of courage for what I was about to do at that moment. Alex moved closer to me, she was about to apologize. "I'm so-". I cut her off and quickly eliminated the distance between our bodies.
"There is no need to apologize" My voice came off almost as if it was seductive, which was not part of my plan, but there was no turning back now. She had a confused look on her face, with a slight hint of lust.
"Alexa..." I said, using her full first name instead of Alex, to indicate that I was serious about whatever I was going to say next. Now here comes the hardest part of my plan, perhaps the hardest 5 words that I have said in my life. "Did you enjoy the kiss?"
She was taken aback. With a confused look she asked "Does that mean...". I smiled, and then, as if we had telepathically had a mutual understanding of the situation I leaned in for a kiss. No I did not lean, I went in for that kiss. The distance between our lips closed in a matter of milliseconds. Our mouths were intertwined with each other. I could really pay attention to the feeling of her lips now. They were so soft, unlike a guys. Her lips moved around taking in as much pleasure as they possibly could.
Alexa
That moment in the room, Emilia was a different person, not in a bad way though, in fact I believe that she was more like herself then she even realized. The seductiveness in her voice sent shivers down my spine. I don't think I have ever kissed someone with so much love and passion, I even dare say I have never done anything in my life with that much love and passion. I could feel every intricate detail of her lips, her tongue, her skin. I pushed her unto the bed. She lay there, I lay on top of her with my lips still touching hers. I pulled my head back and took a moment to stare at her beautiful eyes. It seemed that the confidence Emilia had just a moment ago was gone, but that made her more attractive. She had so much innocence in her eyes, but at the same time, so much lust.
I went back in for a kiss. This time, my mouth moved slowly off her lips, off her face, and down her neck. Her head leaned back and she seemed to be enjoying it. I made a risky move then. "Take my shirt off." I said, or rather commanded. It may have been a horrible idea to say that, but what I had learned so far was that tonight was a good night to take risks. Nervously, she laid her hands on my back, her hands slowly slid down to the bottom of my shirt, and she pulled it up and off of my body. I sat up for a moment, giving her a chance to look. I then got closer to her and whispered "And my bra?" This time making sure that it was a question and not a command. Her hand moved towards my bra, tremulously, and then her hands slid back down.
