aeons_crackshotWhat do you do when you realize you're in love with your best friend? Your female best friend, to make things worse.
Annabelle sighs, staring up at the dark ceiling above her bed. She's never felt this way about a woman before, the warm and tingly feeling of desire tagging along with what she knows is love. Tanya Adams is an exception to all the rules, and she doesn't know why.
Sexual attraction doesn't work like that, does it? Annabelle thought people were built to prefer one side or the other, no exceptions. Hell, she's not even sure how sex works when both partners are female. Perpetually waking up aching and frustrated, longing for things she's never known would be bad enough...
....but it's not just sex she wants. She wants to be with Tanya through good and bad, to be her PARTNER in every possible sense of the word. She doesn't know how to say it and make Tanya believe it. (She's afraid that Tanya doesn't really want her that way, that this will wreck everything between them.)
Annabelle ruthlessly attempts to squash those feelings down, to try and hide her nerves and desire as much as possible. Tonight is their night. (Can you have a date night when you're not dating?) Time to curl up together on Annabelle's couch, get a slight alcohol buzz, and "watch" an action movie. (Mostly they take them apart, rolling eyes and making smart-ass comments at Hollywood stupidity. Or topping whatever is happening on screen with stuff they've actually done.)
