"Em-" Emily pulled back,

"Yea?" She said out of breath

"I know that I- you know kissed you but, I don't think-"

"It's okay, you don't need to explain" Emily rolled off her, and Lindsey grabbed her hand

"I'm sorry"

"Lindsey I promise it's fine" she curled up into Lindsey's side

"Tomorrow will you come with me?"

"Linds it's your family you need to spend time with them"

"I just...you make it better, you know"

"I'll be here after" she kissed her jaw, Lindsey looked down at her, "what?" Emily asked

"...you're perfect"

"How do you know? I'm your first girlfriend"

"Because you treat me like I'm everything. You want me to be happy and you come and support me through everything"

Emily smiled at her, "I will do it forever, no matter what we are"

They fell asleep that night wrapped in each others arms. When Emily woke up the next morning she grabbed her phone.

Rose- so how was it

Em- we just slept mom don't worry, tell you more later

She felt a shift next to her. She saw that Lindsey had rolled over and was now facing her. Emily kissed her forehead causing Lindsey to wake up,

"Good morning sunshine"

"No" Lindsey grumbled

"Why not?"

"Sleep in"

"It's 10 and I have to go back to my room" Lindsey lifted her head and looked at Emily

"You don't have to"

"Yes I do and you have a day with your parents"

"I hate you"

"No you don't, bye I'll come by tonight" she pecked her cheek before sliding her shoes on and walk out the door with all her belongings

Lindsey parents picked her up around 30 minutes later and they went out to explore some of Virginia. On the way home Lindsey needed to see where she stood with them,

"Mom, dad I have a question?"

"Yea sweetheart?" Her dad responded

"I wanted to know where you stand with gay people?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like...do you support them?"

"Of course why wouldn't we?" Her mom answered

"Do you like Emily?"

"Why wouldn't we, she's wonderful and obviously has you under control"

"What do you mean by under control?"

"She seems like she knows you very well, in more ways than a friend would"

"Oh...so um"

"Yes Lindsey we know. We always have, we may have seem oblivious but we always knew"

"Why didn't you every say anything?"

"We wanted you to do it on your own, not pressure you in anyway"

"You would have made this a lot easier if you just asked" Lindsey added

"We're happy, you seem happy"

"I am...very" she smiled thinking of her girlfriend back at the dorms awaiting her arrival

~~

While Lindsey was out with her parents, Emily went back to her dorm and jumped on top of Rose

"Get off me" she shoved her off

"I just missed you, roomie" She said in a high pitched voice

"No you didn't, so what happened?"

"I told you we slept that was it"

"No sex?" Emily shook her head, "seriously none?"

"Nope, zero"

"Wow Son I thought you would have made big moves"

"I tired but she wasn't ready so I had to respect that"

"When do you think she'll be ready?"

"I have no idea, but I hope soon. Rose, I am sexually frustrated"

"Please don't tell me more"

"She just touches me and turns me on and then pulls away and we stop"

"And you told me more..listen I would love to hear more but I have to, uh go do homework in the library"

"Just do it here"

"Can't" she grabbed her books

"Why not?"

"Because you're here" she walked out of the door

"Well be that way" she called up Sam and Mal to see if they wanted to hang out. Five minute later there was a knock and the three of them walked to the coffee shop down the street.

~~

Lindsey got back to the dorms after saying her byes to her parents who leave early the next morning. As she was walking to her room she saw Rose,

"Hey"

"Hi Linds"

"Do you know where Emily is?"

"Uh no, why don't you know?"

"I was out with my parents"

"Oh, so how was last night?"

"It was good, Emily had this 'date night' thing planned in my room and she told me she owns Sarah so I better thank her"

"Did you..you know" She raised her eyebrows

"Oh no, we didn't-"

"Why not?"

"I'm just not there yet" Lindsey sat down at the closest bench

"Is their a real reason or are you just not ready" Rose sat next to her

"A mix I think. I want to, but it's early. We've been together for like a month. That's nothing Rose, we've known each other for four months. We started dating and now sex. That's the fast fucking relationship known to man"

"I was but you guys did it because you felt something yea?"

"Yea but five months and we're here"

"Maybe you just know you're soulmate when you meet them"

"You think she's my soulmate?"

"Only you can confirm it"

"I want to Rose. Just what if I'm not good, she's had sex with so many people, while I've had it with none...I broke up with my 'boyfriend' because I didn't want to loose it to him...a boy"

Rose laughed, "I'm sorry, that poor kid"

'I haven't talked to him in years I know"

"Lindsey I'm sure you'll be great. Yea she's had a lot of sex but those were all just relief almost"

"I'm not?"

"No, I know her. You mean way more than that"

Lindsey sighed"..okay thanks Rose"

"Anytime, did you check our dorm?"

"No that's where I was going now" They both got up and walked to the room

"Hey Rose, I'm still confused why you couldn't do you're work in here" Lindsey walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around her

"Because you are very distracting" she kissed her cheek

"Wow Rose you're getting a little close there" Rose threw a pillow at her, "Hi baby"

"Ew you guys use pet names" Rose fake gaged

"I like it, you should say it more" Emily kissed her

"How was your time with your parents?"

"Good actually..I uh- told them about us. About me"

"And.."

"They said they always knew and that they were waiting for me to confirm it"

"I'm happy for Linds" she kissed her again, "so they know that whole best friend thing was a lie"

"Oh yea for sure"

"You realized I called you bossy and all those things"

"They were positive and not sexual so it's okay" she smiled and kissed Emily

"Okay if you guys are going to start making out I will throw up on both of you"

"Rose you love us don't lie"

"I do, I love both of you guys. But seeing my two friends make out, I'll pass. I like the innocent side of the relationship though."

"Rosie, just admit you're obsessed with our relationship"

"I wouldn't day obsessed but yes I am cheering for you guys"

"Yay, my day is so good!" Lindsey said hugging Emily

"I'm glad, really"
