Mormon Lesbian

Sky was sitting at the Anderson family dinner table with her head down, not daring to make eye contact with Mrs. Anderson.

Across from her, Mrs. Anderson ate her plate of pancakes in silence, a sense of heaviness hanging in the air.

"So, even though I'm not your mother, I know you know that for me and members of the church, we believe that even masturbation is a sexual sin. But you didn't grow up raised that way. So, I apologize for forgetting that. I should have knocked. I assumed you were in the shower. Um... Did you say my name when you... well, you know?" Mrs. Anderson spoke in a calm, motherly tone, losing the sly and seductive sound she had earlier. She was trying to fix the playful dynamic that had developed between her and Sky.

Sky looked up, surprised by Mrs. Anderson's unexpected apology. She had expected a stern lecture or questioning, but Mrs. Anderson was genuinely seeking to make amends.

"Sky, I'm sorry if I have made you feel as though I... umm... I'm sorry for acting playfully with you. For calling you sexy earlier. I didn't mean it like that," Mrs. Anderson said, trying to appease Sky.

Sky's eyebrows raised in response. She hadn't anticipated this response from Mrs. Anderson. "You Mormons are honestly weird," Sky finally spoke, a mix of curiosity and bewilderment in her voice.

"What?" Mrs. Anderson was caught off guard by Sky's remark.

"Just most religious people would push their beliefs on me. But you're apologizing for finding me masturbating in your bathroom," Sky explained, her tone tinged with a touch of amusement.

"Sky, I'm not saying it was okay. I just can't expect you to live the way we live simply because we believe these things. I assume that you're into girls?" Mrs. Anderson asked, searching for understanding.

"Yeah," Sky replied after a moment of hesitation.

"Did you... love... my daughter?" Mrs. Anderson inquired, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and concern.

"Yeah, but I'm okay with just being her friend. I understand now that it never will be," Sky answered, looking away as a blush crept up her cheeks.

Mrs. Anderson leaned in, a curious smile playing on her lips, accompanied by a hint of nervousness. She wanted to unravel the complexity of their connection.

Sky met Mrs. Anderson's gaze, seeing the care and emotional weight behind her eyes.

"I want you to know that I've been aware of the connection we share, and I understand if it has caused confusion or mixed emotions for you," Mrs. Anderson began, her voice gentle and reassuring. "You've been like a second daughter to me, and I care about you deeply. But I also want to make sure we have clarity between us."

Sky listened intently, her heart racing. She appreciated Mrs. Anderson's willingness to address the underlying tension and provide a space for open conversation.

"I... I have felt an attraction towards you," Sky admitted, her voice trembling slightly. "Your beauty, your confidence, and the way you've always been there for me have made it difficult for me to ignore my feelings. But I also understand the complexities of our relationship, and I respect the boundaries that exist. And yes, I was thinking of you when I orgasmed earlier. And I truly find you to be one of the most incredible women I have ever met."

Mrs. Anderson nodded, her expression a blend of understanding and concern. She reached out and gently placed her hand on Sky's, offering support and reassurance in this delicate moment.

"Thank you for being honest with me, Sky," Mrs. Anderson said, her voice filled with warmth. "Your feelings are valid, and it's essential that we navigate this situation in a way that respects both ourselves and the people we care about."

Sky sighed, feeling a mix of relief and vulnerability wash over her. She knew that addressing her feelings was necessary for their friendship to continue in a healthy manner.

"I want to be clear that my feelings for you don't undermine my friendship with Emma," Sky added earnestly. "I cherish her friendship deeply, and I don't want anything to jeopardize that. Our bond is irreplaceable."

Mrs. Anderson smiled, her hand still gently resting on Sky's.

"I appreciate your honesty, Sky, and I believe that with open communication and mutual respect, we can navigate this situation without causing harm to anyone involved. Let's continue to prioritize your friendship with my daughter and keep things the way they are."

Sky nodded, feeling a sense of relief and hope. She was grateful for Mrs. Anderson's understanding and the opportunity to address their feelings openly.

"But from now on, I can't see you as my daughter," Mrs. Anderson's words struck Sky like a dagger, causing pain to ripple through her. She looked at Mrs. Anderson, her eyes welling up with tears.

"What? Wait, Mrs. Anderson, I thought you weren't mad. I'm sorry," Sky stammered, her voice filled with distress.

Mrs. Anderson held up a hand, interrupting Sky's panicked words. "Call me Crissy."

Sky was taken aback, her surprise evident on her face. "Crissy?" she said, uttering the name as if it belonged to a different language.

"Yeah. It's about time you stop being so formal with me. You can call me by my first name from now on," Crissy said, her smile genuine and reassuring.

"Okay. Thanks, Crissy," Sky responded, her voice wavering.

After finishing their breakfast, Crissy and Sky stood side by side at the kitchen sink, silently washing the dishes together. The clinking of plates and utensils echoed in the room, filling the void left by their unspoken thoughts. Sky finally mustered the courage to break the silence.

"So, Crissy," she began tentatively, her voice carrying a mix of curiosity and trepidation.

Crissy turned towards her, a playful glimmer in her eyes. "Yes, Sky?" she replied, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips.

Sky hesitated for a moment, her mind still consumed by the events that had unfolded earlier. "What happened before?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.

"Don't worry," Crissy reassured her, playfully nudging her shoulder with her arm. "I said we can pretend I saw nothing. But hey, don't feel embarrassed, your body is quite sexy." Her playful banter couldn't fully mask the turmoil within her.

"No, not that..." Sky blushed deeply, her cheeks turning a bright shade of crimson. She struggled to find the right words to express her curiosity. "I mean with your husband. You looked really distressed when I got here."

Crissy's expression sank, her playful demeanor fading away. "Oh. We are still fighting," she admitted with a heavy sigh. "I believe Emma told you everything by now."

Sky nodded, remembering the conversation she had with Emma. "Yeah. She said he cheated on you a while back when you were pregnant with Emma. And then recently, the girl he cheated with met you at the mall and told you?"

Crissy chuckled wryly, her eyes glistening with a mix of emotions. "Haha, well, yes, but... no. I found texts from her in his phone. They were old texts buried in his spam folder. So I read them. She didn't seem too happy that he cut her off," she explained, her voice tinged with bitterness. "I texted the girl and met up with her to hear the full story."

As Crissy recounted the painful details, tears began to well up in her eyes. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she collapsed onto the ground, letting her tears flow freely. Sky instinctively knelt down, wrapping her arms around Crissy, offering her shoulder through a tight embrace and gentle back rubs.

"The stupid thing is, I want to forgive him. But I can't," Crissy confessed, her voice choked with sorrow. "I'm filing for divorce, but he doesn't know that. Also, in the church, to no longer be sealed, you need to send a message through your bishop and high stake counselors. They pass it on to the Twelve Apostles, who then pray and decide whether to help you dissolve the sealing or ask you to give it some time and talk."

Sky held Crissy closer, her heart aching for her friend. She listened intently, her presence offering a quiet comfort when words failed.

Once Crissy had poured out her heart, they sat there, entwined in each other's embrace. The weight of their connection felt unbreakable, an intertwining knot of shared pain and support.

"Thank you, Sky," Crissy finally whispered, her voice laced with gratitude. "You truly are a great friend to Emma and me. Thanks for listening. I needed someone to tell."

"Of course," Sky replied softly, cherishing the warmth of their closeness. She tried her best to provide comfort, feeling the tears from Crissy soaking into her shirt, a tangible manifestation of their bond.

Crissy sighed, her voice tinged with resignation. "The worst part is, he doesn't want to live in a motel anymore. He's asking me to please let him live in his own home," Crissy explained, her voice laced with a mix of frustration and exhaustion. "Which is true. This house was his before we got married. So I'm planning to take over my mom's old house in Seattle that my cousin rents to college kids."

As Crissy shared her plans about Seattle, Sky's eyes widened with excitement. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Seattle, the city she had been eagerly anticipating for months, was about to become her new home as well. Her heart fluttered with a surge of anticipation, knowing that her own journey was just around the corner.

Crissy continued, seemingly unaware of the surge of excitement in Sky's chest. "I told her the situation, and she had the kids leave a couple of weeks ago before the new term begins. So I'll be going there next week. I'm sorry to say this, Sky, but I guess this is goodbye for a while."

Sky's excitement bubbled over, and she couldn't contain the grin spreading across her face. "Wait, Crissy, you won't believe it!" she exclaimed, unable to hide her joy. "I'm going to Seattle too! In just two weeks, I'll be starting college there."

"Wait. What!?," exclaimed Crissy, her previous sadness momentarily replaced by surprise.

"I knew that... I guess I just didn't remember where to. Oh my goodness, Sky, that's wonderful!" Crissy's face lit up with joy. "You can come over and visit me all the time. I'll get to meet your college friends and be there for you whenever you need me. We can explore Seattle together, see the sights, and even go up the Space Needle!" Crissy's smile widened as she painted a vivid picture of the adventures they would embark on together.

Sky couldn't help but mirror Crissy's beaming expression, her heart filled with relief at the thought of not having to say goodbye to her dear friend, and by extension, Emma.

"Hey, I was actually planning to go early to check out the dorms and potential living quarters. Do you want to come with me?" Sky asked eagerly, thrilled at the idea of having Crissy by her side on her journey to Washington.

Crissy's brow furrowed with confusion as she processed Sky's words. "What are you talking about? You're not renting some cramped space with six other roommates, some of whom probably have ulterior motives. You're living with me," she declared matter-of-factly.

Sky's eyes widened in astonishment at the prospect of living with the beautiful woman she had long admired. The thought of experiencing college life in a comfortable home filled her with excitement.

"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!" Sky exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm as she embraced Crissy tightly.

As Crissy gently tapped on Sky's shoulder, Sky released her hold, but Crissy lingered there, relishing the closeness for a moment longer than necessary, a playful smile adorning her face.

"All you need to do is talk with your parents and ask them if it's okay," Crissy said.

"Please, I'm sure they'd prefer it over all the other options," Sky chuckled, imagining her father's joy at the prospect, particularly because it would be more affordable.

"Thanks, Crissy. You've always treated me like family. Thank you," Sky expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"No. Thank you for being a part of my family, Sky," Crissy responded, planting a tender kiss on Sky's forehead.

After the tender kiss on Sky's forehead and a moment of attraction exchanged through their gaze, they both turned away, their faces flushed with embarrassment. They were aware of the unspoken tension lingering between them, but they knew it wasn't the right time to explore those feelings further.

"I should probably head back home," Sky said, breaking the silence. She tried to steady her voice, attempting to hide the lingering emotions within her.

Crissy nodded, a mix of disappointment and understanding in her eyes. "Yeah, it's getting late. You should go and talk to your parents about living arrangements. We can figure out the logistics later."

Sky took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. "Thank you again, Crissy. I'm so grateful for everything."

Crissy smiled warmly, her voice filled with genuine affection. "You're welcome, Sky. Remember, you're always welcome here, whether it's for a visit or as a place to call home."

With a final wave, Sky turned to leave, feeling a whirlwind of emotions inside her. She walked away from Crissy's house, the thoughts of their connection and the possibilities ahead swirling in her mind.

--------2 weeks later--------

Sky stood in the living room, her parents by her side. It was time to say goodbye, and emotions swelled within her. Her mom and dad looked at her with a mixture of pride and sadness, knowing that their little girl was embarking on a new chapter of her life.

"We're so proud of you, Sky," her dad said, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "You've worked hard to get to this point, and we know you're going to do great things in college."

Her mom nodded, tears shimmering in her eyes. "Stay true to yourself, follow your dreams, and never forget that we're always here for you, no matter the distance."

Sky embraced her parents tightly, her heart filled with love and gratitude. "I love you both so much. Thank you for everything."

As she said her goodbyes, Sky couldn't help but feel a bittersweet mix of excitement and a tinge of sadness. Leaving her childhood home and the warmth of her family's embrace was both exhilarating and challenging.

Meanwhile, Crissy sat across from her husband, her heart heavy with the weight of their crumbling marriage. She took a deep breath, gathering the courage to deliver the news.

"Daniel, I need to talk to you," she said, her voice steady but tinged with sadness. "I've made a decision. I'm filing for divorce, and I'll be moving away to Seattle for a while."

Daniel's face registered surprise and disbelief. "Seattle? Why Seattle?"

Crissy sighed, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and sorrow. "I need some time and space to figure things out, to heal and find myself again. Seattle offers a fresh start, and I have support there."

Daniel's expression softened, his voice filled with a hint of remorse. "I'm sorry, Crissy. I never meant to hurt you like this."

Crissy nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "I know, Daniel. But it's time for both of us to find our own paths. Maybe someday we can find forgiveness and move forward separately."

As the conversation came to an end, Crissy turned her attention to the upcoming journey. She packed her belongings, preparing to leave behind the life she once knew. Moments later, she arrived at Sky's house to pick her up, where Sky stood with her parents, ready to embark on their shared adventure.

With a final wave and heartfelt goodbyes, Sky's parents watched as Crissy and Sky drove away, leaving behind the familiar streets and venturing into the unknown.

As they approached Seattle, the city's stunning skyline came into view, with its towering buildings and the iconic Space Needle standing tall. Sky and Crissy couldn't help but be in awe of the vibrant energy and the endless possibilities that lay before them.

The car journey was filled with excited chatter and anticipation, their laughter filling the air as they passed by the bustling streets. The city seemed to welcome them with open arms, promising new beginnings and memorable experiences.

Finally, they arrived at their new home, nestled in a quaint neighborhood in Seattle. The house exuded a sense of charm and character, with its Victorian architecture and a beautifully landscaped front yard. The crisp sea breeze carried the scent of the nearby ocean, infusing the air with a refreshing touch.

Inside, the house revealed its unique personality. Large windows allowed natural light to pour into the spacious rooms, illuminating the hardwood floors and accentuating the vintage details that adorned the walls. The cozy living room beckoned them to gather and create new memories, while the inviting kitchen held the promise of shared meals and conversations.

Crissy and Sky explored each room, their eyes filled with wonder and excitement. They could already envision the warmth and laughter that would fill the house, turning it into a true home. Sky couldn't help but be in awe of the beautiful space, but her gaze kept drifting back to Crissy.

As they moved from room to room, Sky couldn't help but notice how the soft light streaming through the windows danced upon Crissy's radiant features. The way her eyes sparkled with a mixture of anticipation and contentment, and how her smile illuminated the room with a joy that was contagious. Sky found herself mesmerized by Crissy's presence, captivated by the effortless grace she possessed.

With each passing moment, Sky's admiration for Crissy grew, both for her resilience in the face of adversity and for the genuine care she had shown her. The way Crissy had opened her heart and home to Sky was a testament to the strength of their connection and the depth of their friendship.

Lost in her thoughts, Sky realized that this house, with all its charm and beauty, would forever be intertwined with her memories of Crissy.

As they stood in the heart of their new home, Sky couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the path that had led her to this moment. Seattle, the city of dreams, had not only brought her closer to her aspirations but had also brought her closer to someone who had become an integral part of her life.

In that moment, as the light cascaded through the windows, illuminating both the house and Crissy's enchanting presence, Sky silently made a promise to herself. She would cherish every moment in this house, every laugh and every tear, and she would always hold onto the beauty of this shared journey with Crissy.

With a smile that reflected her innermost thoughts, Sky turned to Crissy and reached out, gently placing a hand on her arm.

"Crissy, thank you," she said, her voice filled with sincerity. "Not just for this incredible home, but for everything. I'm grateful to have you in my life."

Crissy's eyes softened, her own hand coming to rest on top of Sky's.

"Sky, the feeling is mutual," she replied, her voice filled with warmth. "This house is just bricks and mortar, but with you by my side, it becomes a home."

In that moment, as they stood there, surrounded by the beauty of the house and the promise of their shared future, Sky couldn't help but believe that their journey in Seattle would be nothing short of extraordinary.

------3 Days later-----

"I can't believe you're going to a freshman karaoke night event for theater majors," Crissy exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as they finished unpacking. They plopped down on the plush couch, seeking a moment of respite after a long day of organizing their belongings. "What are you planning to wear?"

Sky shrugged, feeling a bit indifferent. "I don't know, just something casual."

Crissy's eyes widened, momentarily forgetting something. "No way! You have to make those college boys.. or girls...want you!"
