It was all such a whirlwind for the brunette — starting a new relationship in the midst of the craziness that was her life wasn't exactly what she had anticipated. Though, she was welcoming it with arms wide open; all she could think to herself as they both stood in Jessica's kitchen was that she also deserved happiness. She deserved to find a love that made her excited about life while also making her feel worthy. If one were to ask the actress if she was happy with life in that very moment? She would easily answer and quickly at that, that she was incredibly happy. Her career was taking off yet again, her boys were happy and healthy and? She was finally accepting the fact that she was falling in love with her best friend. What more could a girl want.
Shaking her head with a smile on her lips, it was evident just how eager Jessica had been to say that one singular word out loud. God, this woman truly brought her the biggest smile. There was this feeling deep within her that she couldn't exactly describe, but having this conversation with the other woman was important. There was a peace that fell over them as they stood in her kitchen. Their lips meshing in sync together. Anne could feel the other's fingers digging even more into her waist through the fabric, and that alone started a fire deep within her.
Lips finally apart, she caught her breath and looked at her listening to her ask her next question. Nodding, she bit down on her lower lip, "mhm that's exactly what I'm saying." It was almost as if they both couldn't believe that this was actually happening. If Anne didn't feel Jessica's fingers still on her waist? She would have wanted to pinch herself to ensure that it was all a reality. A brow raised at her next few words, and when she heard the female actress ask her if she would be her girlfriend, Anne brought a hand over her mouth.
There was a giddiness that she instantly felt when she was asked the question; it had been years since Adam or anyone for that matter had asked her to be their girlfriend. Here she was in her forties, starting a new relationship and ecstatic about it. Removing her hand from her mouth, she cleared her throat, "why yes, yes I'll be your girlfriend!" Her pitch a bit high because of the excitement, but she didn't care. "I hope you know I"m going to be the most neediest girlfriend ever. Like, I'm going to demand I get facetime, phone calls and photos whenever we're not together. But when we are together? I'm going to demand physical touch like all the time." Anne knew that Jessica wouldn't mind either, but a fair warning was given.
