****No one under age. Following story contains adult content regarding two
lesbian teenagers. If this bothers you, why are you here?****


"This is ridiculous!" Kayla exclaimed. Bella felt her heart drop to her feet
along with all the blood in her body. Was Kayla not okay with Bella and
Katerina's relationship?

"W-w-what is?" Bella trembled.
"Both of us are," Kayla replied and glared at her friend. Bella was too
afraid to see the real emotion in Kayla's eyes.

"Both?"

"You are ridiculous for being such a dumbass and not telling me that you're
a lesbian," Kayla said. "And me for not realizing it."

            Bella stood there dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about?" she asked after a couple beats.

"We're best friends and tell each other everything, but you have withheld
one of the most vital pieces of information you can about yourself," Kayla
said. "And I am ridiculous because I have known you since we could walk and
I didn't know you're gay. I am shocked to discover this and I am shocked
that I'm shocked because I should have known."

            Bella stared at her friend in disbelief until it hit her that
Kayla wasn't angry that Bella has a girlfriend, she was angry at Bella for
not telling her and was angry at herself for not realizing it. A few more
seconds passed as she processed this, then Bella burst out in laughter.

            Kayla was more than taken aback by Bella's reaction and watched
her best friend try to stop herself from dropping to the floor with
laughter.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" Kayla demanded. This only made Bella
laugh harder as she leaned against Kayla's dresser. The blue eyed girl
glared at Bella, crossed her arms, and waited for her to settle down, which
was two full minutes later.

"I'm sorry," Bella said with a few giggles. She wiped away the tears in her
eyes.

"Care to explain?" Kayla asked.
"You're...mad at yourself for not knowing I'm gay when I didn't even know
until Sunday. I never expected that reaction."

"Wait a minute, you didn't know until last weekend? How did that happen?
And, are you dating Katerina? Did you come onto her or did she come onto
you? What did you do on your date tonight? Does anyone else know?" Kayla
rattled off.
"Whoa, slow down, Kay," Bella said and held up her hands.

"Come on, I want to hear everything," she said eagerly. Bella rolled her
eyes, but secretly loved that Kayla was asking these question.

"Chill out, Kayla. I'll tell you, don't worry," Bella replied.

            She went to Kayla's mini fridge and extracted two soda's for
them, then sat down on the bed and started from the night of Kayla's party
when she stayed with Katerina. She told her basically everything from the
kiss in Alyssa's bathroom to Bella sneaking away from school to see Katerina
to her date earlier. She didn't explain about Katerina's past since she knew
that Katerina told her that in confidence. When she was finished, Bella
answered a few questions to clear a few gaps and soon Bella was done.

"So...you and Katerina are an item?" she asked.
"We are official, yes," Bella replied.

"You're dating a girl," Kayla breathed as she stared at her bedspread.
"Well, having a gay best friend is pretty cool, if you ask me."

Bella rolled her eyes and threw a pillow at her friend. Kayla only laughed
as she caught it.

"I'm kidding...mostly," Kayla said after her laughter died down. There was a
comfortable silence between the two girls. Bella was thinking about going to
sleep. She had a long day and it was close to two thirty am. She was about
to propose this idea to Kayla, but her best friend spoke first.

"So, Bella, can I ask a question?" she asked.
"I think you've had your fill for tonight," Bella said sarcastically,
pretending to be annoyed. Kayla didn't react to it, however. Instead, she
looked very serious.

"Bells...what's it like to be with a girl?" she asked. Bella blushed
slightly, not expecting that question.

"Kayla, I really haven't gone very far. I've only made out with Kat," she
answered. Kayla raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"The hickey on your neck suggests otherwise," she said. Bella's mouth opened
in shock as she ran to Kayla's bathroom and pulled her cardigan back a
little.

"Oh, my God," she gasped. A dollar coin size slightly purple mark on her
neck was placed just above an inch above her right collarbone and an inch to
the right of her jugular vein. "How long have you noticed that's been
there?" she demanded angrily of Kayla, who was laughing at her friend's
reaction.
"Since we sat on my bed," she replied.

"Kayla, why didn't you say anything?"

"Well, I thought you knew. I mean, didn't you realize that you'd have one
when Katerina was sucking on your neck?"

"No...I was too busy thinking about...other things," Bella replied,
remembering what they were doing in Katerina's car and she smiled.

"She's good?" Kayla asked. Bella shuddered at the memory of just how good
her girlfriend was.
"Oh, Kay, you have no idea," Bella swooned, going back to the bed.

"That's why I asked. Is it better than being with a guy?" Kayla asked.

"Well, Katerina and I haven't really gone that far. I mean, we haven't even
been dating for a week; but...it feels as if I've known her my whole life,"
Bella said. "She so incredible, Kayla."
"I know she's a great person, I'm her friend, too. I'm talking about the
physical part. What's it like?"
            Bella smiled.

"It's like—it's obviously different than being with a guy. Sure, I've gotten
some really nice kisses from guys and when they care about you it can be
good, but with Katerina...it's like nothing else exists except us. Her lips
are so soft and her skin is so smooth. Every time she touches me it's so
tender and careful," she explained.

"Okay, I get the soft, smooth, and tender part; that sounds cool. But the
careful? I don't think I'd like to be handled like I'm a porcelain doll,"
Kayla said skeptically. Bella sighed as she tried to find a better way to
describe it to her friend.

"Not careful as in I'm breakable, but careful as in her only thought is to
make me feel good. She's so passionate but doesn't show it by shoving her
tongue down my throat and gagging me, but by making me feel like I'm the
most important thing in the world," Bella replied as goose bumps ran up and
down her skin at the memory. Kayla gave her a happy smile.

"Well, I'm happy for you, Bella. She's a cool person and she's a lucky
girl," Kayla replied and put a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Thanks Kay," Bella said with a grateful smile.

"Well, you look beat. Let's get to sleep," Kayla said.

            Bella was thankful and both girls got ready for bed, then went
under the covers.

"Wait," Bella's best friend said before she went in the bed. She had a
serious expression on her face. "Now, you're not going to, like, try and get
fresh with me in your sleep, right? I don't need to be fending you off while
you have sex with Katerina on a beach somewhere."

            Bella snorted and rolled her eyes.

"Get in bed, you homophobe," she said.

"Hey, think I want your crawling over me all night? I know I'm hot, but no
thanks, Bells," Kayla said, her eyes laughing which betrayed her serious
face.

"Bitch," she muttered.

"Dyke," Kayla replied. Bella thought about turning over and attacking Kayla
with her pillow or tickling her to death, but she was too tired. As soon as
the lights went out, Bella was knocked out on the pillow.

~~~~~~~~~~~

            *Bella and Katerina entered the elevator and right when the
doors closed, they embraced, their kiss deeper and more passionate than ever
before. Katerina pushed Bella against the wall, pressing her body against
Bella's. *

*            Then the elevator dinged and they pulled away. Bella's heart
was pounding so loud in her chest, she was sure that Katerina could hear it.
Her stomach was wrenching with nerves, but she knew this is what she wanted.
She's never wanted anything more in her life.*

*            Katerina fumbled with her keys. Bella had never seen Katerina
fumble with anything and knew she was just as nervous as Bella was.
Eventually, she got the key into the lock and opened the door. *

*            They entered the apartment and Bella grabbed Katerina and
kissed her with as much passion as she could muster and Katerina did the
same. They held each other tightly, as if they were each other's life lines,
never wanting to let go.*

*            Neither of them stopped kissing as Katerina led them to her
bedroom, shutting the door behind her. Bella pushed her against the door,
kissing her deeply.*

*            Katerina moaned as Bella's hands grabbed her own and placed
them above her head. She then slid them down the sides of her body to the
hem of her shirt. She slowly and tantalizingly lifted the shirt up, her
fingers grazing Katerina's skin as they went. They only separated the kiss
to fully remove Katerina's shirt. *

*            Katerina then placed her fingers on Bella's blouse buttons,
trying to get them undone. She was so nervous, however, that she was
shaking. But she eventually got them and slid her shirt off her shoulders,
joining Katerina's shirt on the floor.*

*            They kissed for another minute, neither of them wanting to rush
this. Bella wanted to savor this moment. Eventually, she slowly moved down
Katerina's stomach, feeling her hard muscles beneath her fingers. Katerina
gasped slightly, but went right back kissing Bella.*

*            Bella found the button to Katerina's jeans and undid them,
unzipping the zipper as well. She moved to Katerina's hips and began pushing
her jeans down. She moved her lips down as well, kissing every inch of
Katerina she could as she went down, but not touching the one place Katerina
wanted her to touch. The older girl, trying to remember how to breathe,
kicked her jeans off when they reached the floor. Bella kissed her way back
up and found her girlfriend's lips again.*

*            Katerina undid Bella's shorts and they fell to the ground.
Bella stepped out of them and pushed them to the pile of discarded clothes.
Both were now in nothing but bras and panties. They stepped away and admired
each other's bodies. Bella knew she had never seen anything more beautiful
than what was standing in front of her.*

*            Then, when they both needed contact, they kissed again.
Katerina slowly and gently pushed Bella down on her bed, laying on top of
her. When they were both fully lying on the bed together, Bella raised her
hand to Katerina's neck and slowly moved down to caress her breast.*

*            Katerina gasped at the sixteen year olds touch. It sent
electricity to every part of Katerina, ending in between her legs. Bella
gently squeezed her breast, feeling the nipple harden underneath the
material. Katerina moved her lips to Bella's jaw, kissing it softly while
making her way down to her neck. She nipped and kissed the California girl
gently. Bella let out a moan when she did this.*

*            Katerina snaked her hand around Bella's back and found the
clasp of her bra. With one hand, she undid it in one swift motion. Bella
raised herself slightly, allowing the bra to leave her body. Katerina threw
it aside and stared at her breasts, wonder in her eyes.*

*            Katerina moved her head and kissed Shannon's right breast. She
heard Shannon moan at her touch and she moved closer to her nipple.*

*"Kat...baby, please," Bella begged the older girl, breathing like she ran a
marathon. She felt Katerina's breath tickle the nipple and then—*

* *

            "Wake up, you whore!" came a loud, shrieking voice, shattering
Bella's dream and causing her to sit up with a yelp when she felt someone
hit her with something soft, but powerful. She looked around wildly.
"What the hell?" she yelled, confused as to what was happening.
"What did I say about having sex dreams in my bed?" came a demanding voice.
Bella turned and saw her best friend looking at her, obviously upset.

"What?" Bella asked, her brain still frazzled.

"I do not like waking up to you moaning and begging Katerina to do something
to you!" Kayla replied, frowning somewhat. "Talk about awkward! I do not
want those images in my head, especially this early in the morning."

            Bella then remembered what she was dreaming about and went
completely crimson. It was as if all of her blood went rushing to her head.
"Oh, God," she said quietly, putting her head in her hands.

"Yeah, Jesus Christ girl. At first I thought you were having a nightmare,
but those moans were definitely ones of passion, not fear," Kayla said. This
only caused Bella's face to become even more red, which Kayla didn't think
was possible. Bella mumbled something, but her best friend didn't understand
her.

"What?"

"I said I'm sorry," Bella repeated more clearly, but still refused to meet
Kayla's eyes.

"Yeah, whatever. You sure didn't sound sorry in the dream. Having fun, were
you?" the blue eyed girl asked, an evil gleam in her eye.

*Making Bella blush is way too much fun for me* she thought, almost letting
out a dark chuckle as Bella groaned in embarrassment.

"No, I think it was more like this," Kayla said, then made a sensual moan,
almost perfectly mimicking the sounds that were coming from Bella only
moments before.

"Kayla!" the sixteen year old cried angrily with a glare. Her best friend
laughed hard and fell back on the bed, a hand on her stomach.

"Oh, Bella, you are way too easy to poke fun at," she said, tears in her
eyes.

"That is not funny! Do you have any idea how embarrassed I am?" Bella said,
very much looking the part.

"I know...that's why...it's so...hilarious," Kayla said in between laughs.

"I hate you," Bella said, then she threw aside the covers and went to the
bathroom.

"Oh, come on! You have to admit that was fucking hysterical!" she heard
Kayla call through the door.

"Oh yeah, real funny. So is me re-arranging your face," Bella threatened
quietly as she turned on the water to take a long, hot shower. Instead of
beating the hell out of her best friend, Bella chose to steal all the hot
water instead.


*Author's Note:*
*So, this is a lot shorter than the others but I really just wanted to get
Kayla's reaction to Bella's relationship with Katerina and her sexual
orientation out of the way. The reason it took so long was I wasn't sure if
I wanted Kayla to be okay with it or not and I'm sorry for the long wait. I
decided for her to be okay with this when I thought of a few more ideas that
will take this story a different direction than if Kayla were not cool with
it; the direction that it's going to take is, I believe, much better this
way. I was brainstorming all the different scenarios and what would happen
if I chose one way or the other. I hope you guys like the way I chose for it
:) As always, comments/criticism are welcome! Have a good one!
