Nika POV
Tate and I were sitting on my bed as she ranted about movies I had to watch. She scrolled through her phone looking for movies.
"Okay, so I had you watch The Edge of Seventeen," She mumbles under her breath, "Ooo, we could watch Little Women, or we could watch Perks of Being a Wildflower?"
I nod, "Is that all the options?"
"What?!? Neither of these peak your interest?" I laugh, "Wow, okay. Umm."
"You can put whatever you want on, I don't care. As long as I'm with you, pretty girl."
Blush coated her face, she looked back down at her phone, "Ooo, what about Fried Green Tomatoes!"
To say the least, I was confused, "And that's a movie?"
"Oh my god, you've never heard of this movie! It's like a wlw love story, but only gay women can tell, or I guess gay men."
"So, I guess we're watching that then?"
"Yep!" She turns it on, then making her way back to me. Cuddling into my side, I run my hands through her hair.
The movies playing, Tate's laying with her head in the crook of my neck, I never want this to end.
"Hey, Niks?"
"Yes, Ta?"
"What made you like me? I mean," She sits up, looking me in the eyes, "You don't have to answer that if you don't want?"
I smile, "I wanna answer it, pretty girl," I sit up, "I think at first I was drawn in by your eyes, and the way they pretty much said everything that you were thinking. Like, when we were in the car to go to the team dinner, your eyes said it all."
"And what did my eyes say?" She tilts her head to the side.
"You wanted me so bad, it was crazy," She smacks me lightly on the arm, "Hey, you asked."
She rolls her eyes, "What else was there?"
"Well, after spending the night talking with you at dinner, it was like, I wanted nothing more than to get to know you. I wanted to ask you question after question. I just liked that you made me feel something for someone. The last person I was with, well, we didn't really get to know each other. It seemed like we were just in a relationship to be in one."
"And you feel different about ours?" She asked, her hand fidgeting with my fingers.
"Yeah, I mean, we're already doing more talking than my last relationship. He never wanted to know what made me like him, and I never really cared to know why her liked me," I pause, taking her hand in mine, "I feel more with you than I have ever felt with somebody. I feel as though I'm always trying to find a way to make you laugh, or trying to figure out a way to make you like me more. If I'm not trying to do that, I'm trying to find a way to get to know you more, you intrigued me. I want to get to know every part of you, and...and..."
At this point, the smile on her face was bigger than I've ever seen, "Do you think it's to early to say the L word?"
I laugh, "Are you talking about the word 'love'? Baby, it wouldn't be true lesbian nature to not take things quick."
"So, what I'm hearing is, we're getting engaged in 2 weeks, married in 4, and adopting 2 cats in 5?" She says, laying her head back, snuggling into my neck.
I let out a low chuckle, "That's only if we say the L word now."
Silence fills the room, other than the soft voices from the actors on the screen. The glow of the TV lighting the room slightly. The curtains open to show the sunset, coloring the sky with purples and pinks. This moment, I could live in this moment forever.
Tate sits up again, "You wanna know what made me like you?"
"Of course, baby," I say, giving her a small smile.
"Well, I'm not gonna lie, it was because of how beautiful you were. I mean, you're literally drop dead gorgeous. Then, you talked to me, Oh my god, your confidence. It was so attractive, but when you made sure I was alright when we were out with your team. I think that set it in place, I could do nothing but think about you. I mean, I probably talked to Ava so many times about you that you would think I'm obsessed."
"Baby," She cuts me off.
"Then, the kiss. How sweet and caring you were, I think that was the biggest moment. And when you talk about wanting to get to know me, I just can't wait to ask you questions sometimes. Like I wanna spend my day getting to know you, everything about you. I wanna know you inside and out," She paused, "Some part of me thinks you're my person, my soulmate. But maybe I'm just being dramatic."
"No, no, you're not. I feel the same way. It's like we're meant to be," Our eyes connect, and I want nothing more than our lips to meet.
"I wanna kiss you," I blurt out, blush coating her cheeks.
"I wanna kiss you too," I reach out my hand, placing it on her cheek, rubbing my thumb softly on her face.
We lean in, our lips almost touching, when a loud knock comes from the door. I let out a loud groan, earning a laugh from Tate. I get up to see who it is.

Tate POV
"Y'all ain't doing anything in here are you?" A voice come from the behind the door, earning a eye roll from Nika.
"KK, what you want?"
"I just wanna talk to the pretty girl in the room with you," I laugh, Nika rolls her eyes again.
"What do you need to talk to her about," Another knock comes from the door.
"That's between me and the pretty girl," Kk says, banging on the door again.
Nika sighs, finally opening the door. KK comes running in, tackling me on the bed.
"KK! What are you doing!"
KK stops for a second, throwing us into a hug, "I just wanted to see my future girlfriend."
I laugh, than there was Nika still standing at the door, not looking to happy, "KK, as much as that would be such an honor, I'm already kinda taken."
KK shoots up, nearly jumping off the bed, "Who? Tell me now! I needa fix this!"
I point to the very upset looking girl at the door, KK's eyes follow. Shock holds it's place in her eyes.
"OMG, girly pop finally made the move! But imma still end up with her, you know that Niks, right?"
Nika rolls her eyes, "Sure KK, sure."
KK jumps off of me, making her way over to Nika, "Girl boo! I'll see you later, and I'll definitely see you later pretty girl!"
KK finally makes her way out of the room, Nika quickly shutting and locking the door behind her.
"Why were you getting upset?" I asked Nika as she made her way back to the bed.
She shrugs, "She ruined our moment."
"You know we can still kiss, right?" She nods her head, her eyes not fully meeting mine.
"Are you jealous, oh my god, THE Nika Muhl, jealous? And all this over me?" I say, earning a smile and a playful shove from her, "Can I tell you something Niks?"
"Of course, baby."
"I would never pick anyone over you. Never."
I could see her body relax with the words, "I know, I just, seeing people look at you the way I look at you just...boils my blood, ya know."
"Nika," I look her straight in the face, "I love you too much to ever leave you."
"I love you too, Tate," She leans in, letting our lips meet. The kiss sweet, and full of promises.
I pulled away, resting my forehead against hers, "We just became U-Haul lesbians, I'm pretty sure."
"Oh, we definitely did," Low chuckles coming from the both of us.
"You ready to finish this gay-but-not-gay movie?" Nika asked, laying back down on her bed, holding her arms out.
"Of course I am," I make my way back into her arms, "Ooo, than we can watch The Fallout, ya know with Jenna Oretga and the Maddie girl from Dance Moms."
"And does this movie have gay undertones?" Nika asked, one of her eyebrows raised.
"Mmm, maybe. Guess you'll just have to wait and see," I say, burying my head in her neck.
"Okay, pretty girl, whatever you say."
A/N: Soooo.....It's been awhile, but I got a chapter out. 9.2k reads?!?!? Guys, that's crazy. Like, I honestly didn't expect this to get any reads whatsoever. So it having that much is blowing my mind.
Tate and Nika are officially U-Haul lesbians, they already said I love you, which might be too soon but, who cares.
Side note: Nika's post for her boyfriend is so cute, but for some reason breaks my heart into pieces. I'm so happy for her tho. (Definitely listened to That Should Be Me by JB an ungodly amount of times.)
Also, keep the comments coming. Some of the comments are comedic gold. I also love reading them so pls, I beg you, pls keep writing them.
Well, I thinks that's all I got for now so...
Peace y'all, 'til the next chapter
