it was all really silly looking back on it. but in val’s defense, she never really could tell whether or not pretty honestly truly liked her regarding friendship or more. that had gotten her into a lot of awful, and sometimes toxic, relationships before. but in this new light, it was nice to see things working out for the better in the end. “no one could possibly stand a chance against you, sweet girl, i’ve had my eyes and heart set on you for a long time,” she murmured, eyes full of adoration. how could she look at someone like simone and see anything less than perfection ?? how could she possibly look at anyone else the way she looked at simone ?? it didn’t seem possible in val’s eyes. the smallest groan of surprise left her as simone’s hand grabbed her butt. it was something that part of her was used to, but now that their relationship had shifted it felt a lot more intimate than before. “you’re free to do it at any time, i really can’t complain.”
her grin was as wide as could be as she looked up to simone as words just kept spilling out of her mouth. it was common for val to get happy whenever she listened to the other girl’s sweet voice ( it was the damn accent probably ) but this brought a whole new wave of joy over her. “i’m in love with you in a totally gay romantic way so i’d so so happy to be your girlfriend. but if you ever happen to change your mind, especially when you sober up…” her words sort of trailed off as simone already moved on to the next thing. val was a lot more mellowed out since the high had hit her, focusing on every little detail of their interaction and closeness, but simone seemed to be thinking a million things at once. taking the sudden movement as her hint to get up too, val stood and shook her head. she really couldn’t help but chuckle at the other’s antics. with her hand being forced to touch simone’s breast and hardened nipple, she flushed a soft shade of pink. they had touched each other all over before but this was something new, something she had only dreamed about- literally. delicate fingers brushed against clothed skin as val visibly gulped. “yeah, you must be- be freezing,” she commented. “let’s get you that water so we can come back to my bed and get back to the cuddling and kissing and stuff, yeah ??” she questioned. though truthfully, there were no other options. she removed her hand from simone’s chest and instead interlocked their fingers as she pulled her gently to the kitchen area. not even bothering to let go as she opened the fridge, bending down slightly to look in and grab a water bottle and handing it off to simone. “here you go, baby.” the pet name was also something new. so many new and exciting things happening in such a short amount of time. val was still testing the waters to know what was okay and not okay.
AND STUFF—it’s honestly the only thing simone could think about for a good moment, it meant a lot of things but she was certain it’s along the lines of romantic and very intimate, it did come after cuddling and kissing, so everything just lined up in her head. val’s hand against her chest should have been the one that lead her to those thoughts, but instead it was her words, simone’s thought process was definitely slowing down now. the adrenaline from smoking weed the first time was leaving her body and it felt heavier as if what she should be doing that moment was lie down. so when she and val got in front of the fridge, all she wanted to do was lean against val. she didn’t want to topple her off though as she bent down to get a bottle of water for her, so she just started running her hand against val’s back in soothing circles.
when the bottle was offered to her, she had to let go of her. she didn’t want to, but she also needed something to do with her dry mouth. so she accepted it with a smile and butterflies. baby, the context behind that was different and simone badly wanted to go with “thank you, momma” so she did, she giggled and leaned down for a quick peck, before finally opening the bottle and drinking it all finish. simone knew she’d need more water once they get back inside val’s room, so she moved towards the sink and refilled the bottle. she then went back to val and took her hand, and this time she was the one to lead them back inside. after placing the water bottle on the bedside table, simone crawled back to val’s bed and made grabby hands at val once she’s lied down on her usual side of the bed, “val, baby—” she giggled and lovingly smiled up at her. “you’re really my girlfriend now,” she was blushing again, she tugged at val’s top and pulled her down to her, she brushed her nose against her cheek, “i would have cried a lot if you’re not into me, to be honest.” she pouted, “bawled’s more like it,” she hummed and kissed val’s cheek, then her jaw, then her chin... “so, what does ‘end stuff’ entail, is it sleeping?” she chuckled, “’cause i feel quite heavy like i’m going to pass out really soon, but i also feel kinda...wanna be touched” she blushed at her own admission, “wanna be held” she tracked back to play it safe. she yawned, “hey, thanks for taking my smoking virginity away.” she then lied on her side and settled her body against hers, her hands running up and down val’s side, while her foot rubbed against the sheets and soon enough val’s leg, finding comfort on doing these things, it was something she’s always do. “we wouldn’t be girlfriends now if you didn’t take it away,” she then closed her eyes, and slipped her hand under val’s shirt again, because she needed to feel her skin, and also have more warmth. it didn’t last for too long, since simone turned around, so val could spoon her. it was their usual position after all.
