“Bye guys! Don’t have too much fun!” MC yelled towards her brother from the kitchen as he and Lucas walked towards the door to leave for their date.
“I could say the same to you two,” he replied with a smirk, throwing the girl back in shock as a deep blush appeared on her face. Then with that, the two guys left.
A minute of silence went by before Darla spoke up.
“So it’s just us two?” she asked, looking over the couch she was sitting on to look back at MC as she nodded in response.
Darla opened her mouth to say something, but her girlfriend, not realizing it, interrupted her before she even started to talk
“Do you want to get some studying in maybe?”
The brunette closed her mouth, stopping what she was about to say. She fell back on the couch with a nod.
“Of course. Anything if it’s with you,” Darla said with a sweet, loving smile.
It may have taken them a while to admit it, but once Darla and MC finally admitted how much they liked each other, they became the cutest couple. Darla was the type of girlfriend who would do anything for her love, like a knight in shining armor. She’d be there for her girlfriend all the time. No one ever believed she could act like that, so, loving and caring to someone other than herself.
“You seem like you want to do something else,” MC pointed out as she walked over to the couch and sat next to Darla, leaning into her girlfriend's warm embrace. She chuckled as she pulled MC into her lap, and laid her head on the girl's shoulder.
“I just want to be with you,” Darla responded, as she nuzzled her head further into MCs shoulder and she played with the others' hands. MC chuckled at how her girlfriend was acting. Darla would be like a little kid at times, just wanting MC to be with her, but she never complained, she found it quite adorable. MC loved everything about Darla, she was amazing, no perfect to her. Darla was her life.
“If you want to do something else we can do whatever you want. Studying was just a suggestion,” MC told her as she wriggled herself free from Darla’s embrace, making the other whine, and she turned around to face her. Darla grabbed MCs hand and intertwined their fingers before swinging their hands. A sweet smile etched on Darla's face as she leaned forward and kissed MCs nose, making her giggle in response.
“Can I braid your hair, please?” She asked before leaning back.
MC looked down at the two laced hands as they swung back and forth.
“Of course you can,” She replied, answering Darlas' question, making her smile even brighter if that was possible. The gray-eyed girl chuckled as Darla jumped up and down on her seat.
“Where’s your hairbrush? and ties?” The taller girl questioned. MC hummed as she leaned in, so she could softly close the space between the two before backing away.
“They’re in my room,” she answered. Darla nodded, before standing up, kissing MCs hands before letting them go. She stood up, leaving MC to her own devices as she went to the room.
A minute or two passed before MC heard the sound of footsteps coming down the staircase as her favorite voice rang out.
“I got them!” She called out as she drifted over to the couch. The brunette jumped up and down, ecstatically, as she moved towards the couch. After she sat down she crossed her legs, and MC even had the chance to scoot closer, Darla's hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her girlfriend into her lap.
“Hi,” MC giggled as she felt soft, cherry-scented lips peck her cheek a couple of times, the curly-haired girl turned her face and planted a soft kiss against Darla’s lips in return.
“Hi beautiful,” she responded.
“So,” MC began to talk as Darla unbraided her braided crown, “what type of braid are you going to do?” She asked.
The brunette thought about it for a second as she began to run the brush down MCs hair, disentangling all the knots, leaving it silky and smooth.
“What kind of braid would you like?” she responded to the question with another one. A breath from MC blew the hair left in her face upwards, just before they fell.
“What about Dutch braids?” She asked as Darla nodded in response to the question, as she began to part MCs hair, splitting it into two parts for the braids. She grabbed a black tie and twisted it on before putting the part to the side. MC played with her hands as she felt her girlfriend brush out the right side of her hair again, before running her fingers up her scalp to separate her hair so she could braid it.
“Do you want me to lean back so it’s easier?” The smaller girl asked as Darla began to move her hair in a pattern, braiding it, from the top to bottom.
“You’re good, love” she replied to the question, as she tugged MCs hair, so it wouldn’t be loose. MC nodded as Darla continued to braid her hair, not leaving any stray strands.
“Are you having fun, love?” The blonde asked as her girlfriend began to braid the lower part of her hair. Darla’s attention was still mostly on braiding, so she wouldn’t make a mistake, because MC didn’t deserve her beautiful hair to have any errors.
“Of course I am, I’m with you,” The other girl answered, as she planted a small kiss on the back of MCs neck, as she finished the first braid and tied it, so her work wouldn’t fall apart.
“I love you,” MC told Darla with a smile, as her hand reached to the back of her head to feel the braid, but the other swapped her hand away.
“I love you too,” Darla told her and poked her cheek.
As Darla untied the right side of MCs hair, she grabbed the hairbrush, to brush the part out for a minute. After she finished, she repeated what she did to the other side, braiding it with the same pattern she did before. A minute passed, before Darla finished the side, finishing braiding up MCs hair.
“Okay, I’m done,” Darla said as her hands drifted from the tied braid, down MCs arms and she grabbed the other girl's hands.
MC smiled before getting up, sliding out of Darla's embrace, but still holding one of her hands.
“Is it good?” She asked Darla with her normal soft, loving tone. Darla nodded as she placed her free hand on MCs cheek, before softly pressing her lips on hers.
“It’s amazing, and you’re so beautiful,” Darla replied to the question. The darker-skinned girl smiled as she was given a kiss, and leaned into Darla's hand after.
“Let me show you,” Darla told her as MC nodded and followed her girlfriend upstairs to find a mirror to see her hair.
On their way up, the girl with now braided hair asked, “So can I braid your hair?”
A chuckle left Darla's lips as she replied, “Yes.”
