Problem Solving

"Light experimentation"

"It's the truth. I'm crazy about you" I smile

"You don't mean that.." she flirts

"But I do" I urge

"Then that's very sweet of you" ...

"Won't you say it back?" I ask, she kinda laughs

"If you're asking me that then I don't think I have to."

"You could anyway?" God I sound desperate

"You make me so crazy and I enjoy being with you and kissing you a lot.. I don't feel so bad talking to you about serious shit because you know me more than anyone else.. You're my favourite person to spend time with." She makes me swoon. I smile

"You're mine."

"Your favourite person to spend time with, or yours in general?" She clarifies

"If it didn't freak you out, I think I'd say both." I joke, she smiles

"You make me sound difficult.."

"You aren't difficult. You're a pleasure to spend time with.. And if it wasn't a school night, I'd definitely invite you to sleep over."

"We could do that at the weekend?" She suggests. It's cute that she's all embarrassed about asking.

"Friday night?" I ask, she smiles

"Yeah.. but don't cuddle me okay?"

"Why not?" I ask, jokingly offended

"Because it's gay"

"Well I hate to tell you this, but when you stay over we're gonna be taking our clothes off to change."

"I've thought about that obstacle, it's a big one to overcome because it means it's gay.. but I've decided that it's not gay because you're British." She explains, I laugh

"Yeah, and Welsh and Greek. We're extra safe from homosexuality"

"For now"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask her, she raises her shoulders a little

"I hope it's something I can avoid or something I can come to terms with, because it feels temporary in every sense at the minute."

"Well no one knows you better than you do yourself. In the meantime, you should just let yourself enjoy this light experimentation." I explain, she nods

"Yeah I shouldn't think about it." ... "Marina..?" She says, I look at her

"Mmh?"

"What was it like for you? The sexuality stuff.."

"I sort of always knew, I think. I've tried explaining it to Laf but I can't.."

"Then you aren't much help" she jokes, I smile "wait but at least try to. For me.."

"Okay.. You know, I've always thought that girls look far better than boys. I've always felt more when kissing girls than kissing boys.. it's the little things too, like who you feel more comfortable with. Doesn't even have to be sex stuff." ... "but don't get me wrong the sex is a big part of it."
