True Love
Chapter I : 

*

your touch is electric
i felt it the first time you held me
the way we connected so easily
i've tried to define it
searched for the perfect phrase
i've tried to describe it
in a million different ways - BLISS

***

Let me tell you something about myself I'm Alex (short for alexandra) 23
yrs.old, 5'3 in height short brunette hair. An average looking girl, who
works as an IT consultant.

My best friend - Kathy has this party at her pad and that's where I met her
- Lexi. A female blonde, 5'6 print model, the girl next door who has a body
to die for. She's a friend of Kathy. Kathy was the first one who I told
that I am a Lesbian.  And she's cool with it! (great!!!)

*knock, knock *

"I got it!"

When I open the door I was in shock to see the most beautiful creature in
the universe! She's a goddess! Haven't seen it for quite sometime now. It
takes another minute for me to utter a word.


"Yes?" I ask.

"Hi, umm,"

"Lexi, great to see you, it's been a long time!" Kathy interrupts.

I was still in the front door not realizing I was staring at her.

"Alex, Alex are you OK?"

"Huh?"

I'm still mesmerized by her beauty that I didn't heard Kathy calling me.

"Yeah, I'm fine" with a shy smile on my face.

"Alex, she's my very first friend in the city - Lexi, Lexi my best friend
Alex." Kathy said.

I extended my right hand to shake her own. " Hi, nice to meet you!" still
holding her hand. "My hand?" "Ow, I-I-I am sorry!" Then I turn around not
wanting her to see me blushing.

Alas, Kathy, broke the ice "Lexi, why don't you just sit on the couch and
relax for a bit 'coz you are still early."

 "OK" she uttered.

After an hour, the whole apartment was full of people I barely knew, except
for our friends' back home in Florida. The whole evening I try to avoid
Lexi because of the incident (the shake hands) but make it appoint to sneak
at her beauty.

	I made myself comfortable at the porch when I notice someone
tapping my shoulder. When I turned around, it was Lexi. * Damn, I'm trying
to avoid her but then she's here in front of me!*

"Hey, Alex! What are you doing here? Not having fun?"

"Oh, no! I just want to admire the view of the whole city!" Then I sip my
Long Island iced tea. "I'm sorry about what happened earlier!"

"No problem!" she smiled back. *No problem? Whoa! Is she gay?* Then
silence.

I don't recall who talks first.  I just remembered that we stayed there for
an hour chatting about anything and everything.  As if she's a long lost
friend. I learned that she's a print-ad model, owns a house, living
alone. Well her family is in Los Angeles. We didn't realize that we build
our own little world in the porch. And turning us back to reality, was
Kathy.

"Hey, guys! What's up in that porch? It's almost 2 in the morning!"

	"Holy crap, its 2 am? I've got to work tomorrow at 8am!"  I said.

"Same here, got a shoot at 9 am." Lexi told us. "I'd better get going, it's
late!"

As we enter the room, no one was there except the three of us. "OK" Kathy
said. As I walk Lexi to the door, I stop her and said, "I had a great time
tonight! Specially talking to someone like you".

"Same here, I hope we can do this some other time!"

"yup, bye!"

	As I close the door, I saw Kathy smiling and saying "You like her,
do you?"

"Huh? Lexi? No way!"

"O come on, I know you!"

"Shut-up, I'm tired."  I snorted out.

Then I walk-off to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

*Do I really like her? No, Alex! You only see her as a friend, a long lost
friend! And I think she's straight, straight as a board! She's just being
friendly that's it * Damn!

	As I re-emerged from the bathroom, Kathy was already sleeping on
the couch. And I enter our room, you see I don't have an apartment yet
that's why I'm crashing to Kathy's place.

I slipped into my pajamas and I can't sleep! Every time I close my eyes I
see her face. Arrrgh! Tomorrow, I can forget about her, go to work, and
find a place of my own. Then sleep overcame me! At last!

***

The alarm of the clock woke me! 6:30am. "Damn, I don't want to go to work!
Its too early!" But I remember this is my first day at work! "I'd better
hurry up or else I'm packing my things to go home!"

	

I leave a note to Kathy who is still up to now sleeping! I get my car key
and headed to the office. My office was an hour and a half drive (excluded
the traffic) from where I was staying and it really pisses me off to drive
that long. So I'd better find a place near the office or else I may end up
always late.

	

I park my car, enter the building, and go directly to the HR dept. As the
HR head lead me to my assign department, there's this (blonde!) girl wave
her hand towards me. *What she's up to?" I smiled back and returned the
gesture. And at that moment Lexi crossed my mind! *Oh, no! Not again! *

	Lunch was fast approaching, when this blonde girl approaches me and
said " hi! I'm Nicole! Just like you I'm new in the company and I don't
know anyone! Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"huh? you mean?"

" What I meant was I can be a your lunch buddy?!" she said while blushing.

	"Oh, yeah! Sure thing!" * What am I thinking? Come on Alex! *

Lunch was good. She's fine, she's cool, and she's up to everything! She
talks a lot. And I like that.

The rest of the afternoon went smoothly. As I got home, I'm too tired to
have a small talk to Kathy about what happened during the day. So I went up
straight to the bathroom and clean myself up. I'm just too tired to eat,
but I'm not in the mood to sleep. My mind was wandering again, then the
thought of Lexi hit me.

	"Why did I always think of her? This is not good for me. Damn,
Damn, Damn!"  I got up to bed and face myself in the mirror. "Alex, what
are you thinking? Remember this - Never fall in love with straight
girls. Bare that in mind!!"  "Arrrrgggh! Shit"

***

	"Honey, I'm going to have a new house mate. You see she's looking
for a place near her office and can't still find one!" Lexi told her
boyfriend - Paul.

	"Again? And who that is?" Paul inquired

	"Alex, Kathy's friend! Remember her?

"Yeah! Alex? A Man?"

	"No, She ok?"

	"OK, so when will she moving in?"

	"Well, I didn't ask her yet, but I think she can't resist the offer
'coz its near her office. "Huh? Well, as long as she's discreet, like the
other one then no-problem!"

	Paul is Lexis' boyfriend for eight months and he is an open-minded
person about gay people. (Bless his heart!)

	The drive home went by and Lexi became silent. * Why did I like her
to be my housemate? I just met her last week. This is not me, I barely
trust people I just met, and now I offer my house? * *What's with her?
Maybe I just missed my younger sister.*

	"OK, we're here! Lexi, are you all right? "

	"Yeah! Thanks, bye!"

	"Lexi, Honey, I love you!" Paul said as he kissed Lexi.

	"Love you too, Honey!"

Friday afternoon...

"Hey there? Are you doing something tonight? Its Friday night! No work
tomorrow!"

"Don't have plans yet!" I smiled.

"So you wanna go bar hopping with me tonight?" she asked nervously.

	"I'll let you know later." "Alright?"

	"Yeah." The twinkle in her eyes fade away when I said that to
her. I don't want to go bar hopping that Friday night simply because I just
want to sleep.

At last, the week was finally hitting to an end when my cellphone rang it
was - Lexi!

***

"Nicole, I can't go with you tonight. A friend called me up and I think
it's an emergency. I am really sorry!" I said.

	"Don't worry, I understand." Still not smiling. With the look on
her face she's sad.

	"Don't worry, Nicole. I'll treat you maybe next Friday, Alright?"

 "We'll go wherever you want! I promise you that"." OK?"

	She enlighten up when she heard what I said. "You sure?" she's like
a little kid that her mom just gives her a gift.

	

***

"Hi! Sorry I'm late! I got to finish some designs!"

" It's OK, just got here in a few minutes!" Lexi said

" So, why do you want to see me?" I inquired.

	"Well, umm, ahh," Then I raised an eye brow " hey, are you a OK?"

	"Yeah, yeah, you see, I-I was living home alone and you told me
that you're looking for a place near your office, right?"

	"Yeah, what about it? I said.

	" Well, I have a spare room and I think you can use it."

	" Are you sure? Well, I don't know yet. Maybe I'll take a look at
it first."

	" Of course, I'm sure and I think you're good enough to be my house
mate!" she smile while blushing.

	"Well then, I'll visit you next week and take a look at it!" with a
wide smile on my face. This is going to be fun!

	"Great! So I'll see you next week then?" "Yeah!" I said.

And then it hit me! I haven't dropped the bomb - that I am a Lesbian!

	" Lexi, there is something you should know."

	"Huh? Got a problem?" she asks.

	I drink a full glass of water before speaking up! I don't know what
will be her reaction but I hope its positive. My heartbeat was beating
faster than the usual. I don't know if this will be a good idea to tell her
but if I'm moving with her I guess she had the right to know. Besides it
her house.

	"So tell me what it is?" she said looking at me.

	I look at her straight to the eye for about a minute before is
speak,

"Umm, I-I-I'm a Lesbian!"

that's it folks for now! Ta-ta!
