Untouchable - maya and carina

chapter 41 - a step closer

"I love you" I whisper, clinging onto her as tight as possible

"I love you too Maya"

Ava's POV

"I've missed you," she says, running and jumping on top of me

"Well, if you kill me then you're not going to have me around for a while," I say, pushing her off me

"how've you been?" she asks, wrapping her arms around me

"Good, why are you so clingy today?" I ask

"No reason," she says, obviously lying

"What?" I ask

"I'm hormonal" she whispers

"Ohhh, that makes more sense" I laugh

"Shut up" she jokes, putting her head down on my shoulder

"Come here olive," I say, pulling her head down over my chest

We turn the tv on and watch whatever rubbish was on. Neither of us were paying too much attention, it was just on in the background

"You know how you asked if I liked girls?" I say randomly

"Yeah, why?" she asks

"I think..." I start "I think I do" I whisper

"Oh ava," she says, pulling me in for a hug

"I'm so proud of you," she says quietly, wiping a tear off my cheek

"For what?" I ask

"For admitting it, it took me ages to do that," she says as I feel her stroking the back of my head

"I'm going to have to tell Maya and carina" I mumble

"Well, if you're worried about them not being accepting then you can relax considering they're both gay themselves" she laughs slightly

"I know, it's still awkward though"

"I know, you'll be ok, whether you tell them in an hour or in a year, you'll be ok" she reassures me

Carina's POV

"I've been thinking about how long it will be before I can go back to work," Maya says

"Do you want to go back soon?" I ask

"Not really, I like being with you and ava all day, but I have to,"

"Only when you feel like you're ready though," I tell her

"Yeah,"

"I'm so proud of you," I say, making her smile

"For what?"

"For acknowledging the fact, you need time off" I smile as she buries her face in the crook of my neck

"I'm proud of you" I confirm as I feel her kiss my neck before pulling back to look at my face

"I'm so happy" I squeal, practically jumping on top of her "you've never done that before," I say, not being able to hide my smile

"I told you I'm getting closer," she says happily

"Well done Bambina," I say seriously

Maya's POV

"I can't believe we actually laid here all day," I say as we finish our 5th film

"Neither can I," she says, cuddling further into me

"I love you" I whisper

"I love you too"
