"Chloe..." Emily whispered as she gently stroked Chloe's cheek with the back of her index finger.

'Hmm" Chloe replied groggily. She then sat up against the headboard of the bed, and gazed contently at Emily.

"I had fun this morning. Thanks for that." Emily said. As she did, she had to look down at the sheets to conceal her bright red cheeks.

"There's no need to be embarrassed, Emily. I had fun too." She said as she lifted Emily's chin back up so that she had no other choice than to look Chloe in the eyes.

"I just...And don't take this the wrong way or anything...But...I'm glad that it didn't go too far."

"Me too. I don't want to force you into doing anything you don't want to do."

Emily grasped Chloe's wrist lightly and pulled her chin from her hand. She then rolled up into a ball, and laid on Chloe's lap.

"Thank you. I just *deep sigh* I'm new to all of this."

"Liking a girl? That is, assuming you like me." She chuckled.

"Of course I like you. And no, not just that, romance. I never really had a boyfriend or girlfriend. Or a crush even. Not until I met you." She turned her head around, and lifted it up, so that she could see Chloe's face.

"You changed everything for me." She planted a small kiss on Chloe's left cheek.

"And you, me. I'm not going to say that I haven't dated girls before, because that would be a lie. But, you're different. You actually make me feel good about myself. About everything. You're the light that I have been needing in my life for so long." She stroked the side of Emily's face before tucking a strand of thick brown hair behind Emily's ear.

"We've known each other for a little while now right?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah, about 4, 5 months."

"And you'd say that we are fairly good friends, right?"

"Yeah...? Where's this going?"

"Well, since we seem to be on the same page...There is something I have been wanting to ask you for a while."

"Oh? What's that?" Emily sat up out of Chloe's lap and waited curiously for the question.

"Will you...Will you be...God this shouldn't be so hard." She chuckled and played with her shirt for a moment, trying to collect herself.

Emily grabbed her hands away from her shirt and said reassuringly, "It's okay. Just say it. I'm sure it's nothing bad."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Chloe said this incredibly fast and then placed her hands over her face in fear of rejection.

"You took the words right out of my mouth." Emily took Chloe's hands from her face, and held onto them tight. She brought their faces closer together and waited to see who would make the first move. She then decided that it would be her. Emily's lips gently met Chloe's for a small kiss, but before they knew it, they were passionately kissing once again.

"How-how far do you want to go?" Chloe pulled away and asked, making sure not to sound eager.

"Let's just see where we end up." Emily's curious hands made their way up the back of Chloe's shirt, allowing her to wrap her arms around Chloe's shoulders. Chloe, in one swift move, removed her shirt.

Emily hesitantly did the same.

Chloe began running her hands up and down Emily's back slowly. After a few back and forth motions, she stopped at the back of Emily's bra.

Emily pulled away from their kiss and nodded.

"Are you sure? If you want to stop at any point, all you have to do is say so. Okay?" She said gently.

"I'm sure. Go ahead."

Chloe slowly unlatched the back of Emily's black, lace bra. She then slid the straps over Emily's shoulders ever so slowly, and tossed the bra over the side of the bed.

Then, Chloe took off her own white bra, and tossed it over the side of the bed as well.

"This is it." Emily thought. "My first time. I've pictured it on several occasions, but no imaginary first time could be more perfect than this."
