Frankie lay on her best friend’s bed, her nerves tingling all the way up and down her body. Even though she had been on this bed so many times before, it was all different now. The girl knew that if she and Lola took this step, if they decided to be together in the way that they each so badly wanted to, their friendship, their lives, wouldn’t be the same.
Letting her fingers entangle with Lola’s, the girl couldn’t help but blush. As she felt her cheeks turn a soft pink, she finally opened her mouth to speak. “Thank you,” she spoke softly, “Thank you for being so patient with me.” Her hand grasped Lola’s a little tighter now, “And I want to hold your hand - everywhere. I promise, I do. It’s just - it’s a little bit scary.”
