The question had been gnawing at her for days. When she had first met Dinah she had been in awe of her and that had quickly turned to a crush which had somehow become something more. Zee was in love, this had to be what love felt like, but she had never experienced it before. Sure she had feelings for Bruce but this was something else, something that made them seem childish and unimportant. Finally it just became to much to bare and she had asked Dinah what had been haunting her since she realized how she felt.
She had been gnawing on her lip until Dinah had come over and sat on her lap. Even with the question still unanswered the act brought a grin to her face. The girl could make her smile just by the simplest of touches and this was a bit more intimate. Her fingers curled in the hair she loved to run her fingers through and it was like trying to swallow electricity. She could feel it dancing in her skin and Zee didn’t know if it was Dinah or a reaction to the magic she was learning ran through every cell of her being, but she doubted kissing anybody else would get her the same reaction.
Zee’s heart started to break in that moment. She wanted more than like and she closed her eyes so she wouldn’t have to look into Dinah’s eyes. A lot was a start and maybe it would still grow into love but she wanted more. “That wasn’t what I asked.” Zee slowly opened up her eyes and her hands dropped to Dinah’s waist. Like a lot couldn’t be right, this felt to perfect for it to be anything other than meant to be.
When Dinah finally confessed to loving her Zee lit up. She let out a breath she didn’t even know she had been holding and kissed her before she gave an answer. “Of course I love you. Di, I love you more than I have ever loved anything in this world. You are my world and loving you is more amazing than all the magic that exists.” She wouldn’t have stayed if she hadn’t felt this way, not when it meant her father knew where she was. It was only a matter of time before he demanded she come back home.
