Chapter Text
Friday 19:41
She was trying to put attention to the show. She really was. But that is so hard with Fatou sitting beside her. Damn it. The girl had made everything to comfort her baby after such a rough day: Laid pillows and put blankets on the floor so they could be comfy. Kieu My had even bought fries, milkshakes and her favorite snack... She knew Fatou was tired and probably overwhelmed with all of the stories she heard at the protest and the asian teen felt AWFUL for her mind being at such a different place...
The day and a half they spent apart had felt like an eternity. Do you know how impossible it is to look at your bed without being flooded with recent, not-so-innocent memories? All that had filled her head during those 36 hours was Fatou's hands fluttering through her body and her lips making all her being shake. And shit. How she wanted that again. This was so embarrassing! She had never been a thirsty person. Not until she met Fatou.
But, who could blame her? That's what two weeks apart, a lovestruck heart, and a dramatic reunion did to you.
She could only stare at her girlfriend's lips, daydreaming, the same way Fatou had done with her the first time she found out about her weird eating habits. Kieu My was so busy with those images that she didn't even notice the so-called girl repeatedly saying her name while waving her hand in front of her:
"Kieu My. Kieu My. Where are you?"
She shook her head as if being woken up from her sleep, completely flushed. "Hum?"
Fatou laughed softly. "I was asking if you wanted to watch something else, since you've been looking everywhere but at the screen".
'You are everywhere' Kieu My thought.
But she obviously couldn't answer that.
"Oh, no. I mean, I really don't care about the movie. I just want to be with you. This was just an excuse for that. And well, the pretzels" she added with a shy but playful smile.
Fatou grinned. "Well, I also want to be with you. But it seems like you went somewhere far away. What are you thinking about?"
The way this woman read her never failed to impress her. She loved it, but it was also terrifying. Kieu My bit her lip and looked down. Blushing. How could you tell your girlfriend you wanted her to touch you again? Was that even alright? Would she think she was desperate? Q could barely ask her to lay on top of her. I mean. She had once sent her a pretty straight (or bi) forward song. But nothing went well afterwards.
Fatou grabbed her cheek, again getting her out of her thoughts, and made her meet that signature sweet, persuasive look. "What 's wrong? You can always talk to me if there's something going on. You know that right?"
Kieu My looked away. Nodding softly.
"Is it just so… Embarrassing" She confessed.
"Yeah? I could bet it's not as embarrassing as welcoming a client as soon as you wake up. Is it?" That joke caught the teenager off-guard and caused her face to turn redder (if that's possible). After some seconds processing the comment, she began laughing softly and she hit Fatou's arm. Which made the shorter girl join her. At some point, Fatou grabbed both her arms and put their foreheads together, until their laughs turned quiet and their bellies stopped hurting.
Kieu My bit her lip (again).
"I really love you" She said, before thinking. She knew they had said this before, so it wasn't that revealing, but it was still weird for her. To talk about her feelings. To be with somebody.
"I love you too." Fatou replied with a fond expression. "But, for real. What is it?"
Kieu My figured that sometimes actions said more than words ever could (especially if you're speechless). So she gained some courage, stole a quick kiss from her, and then backed up to wait for a reaction. Hoping it would be well received. «As if you've never kissed before» Her mind said.
Fatou made a surprise face and then gazed deeply at her. Analysing everything for a moment that felt like an hour, and then smiled widely, looking amused.
"What?" Asked Kieu My, losing her patience.
"You know? If you want me to kiss you, you can just tell me and I'll GLADLY, gladly concede" She said while wiggling her eyebrows.
Kieu My's whole body buzzled and heat ran all over her spine. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.
Fatou then put a strand of her long, black hair behind her ear, and said: "I'm also not here for the movie" She chuckled. "But I didn't want to make you think I only want you for… Certain stuff, ever again. So I figured I would wait for you to take the first step".
"But I don't want you to wait".
"I'm happy to hear that." Fatou replied before pulling Kieu My closer and kissing her passionately. At which the asian girl excitedly responded.
Thinking about it, Fatou seeing through her wasn't that bad after all. She could get used to this.
