Chapter 3

Waverly connects her phone to a Bluetooth powered speaker and pressed play. 1975 band song fills the living room. Waverly starts singing along and dancing to the beat as she does her Sunday morning de-cluttering.

"I don't want your bodyBut I hate to think about you with somebody elseOur love has gone coldYou're intertwining your soul with somebody else "

She then proceeds to dust off the surface of their fireplace. With her back turned, she didn't notice the presence of her sister Wynonna in the room. The elder one watches her with a weird expression. Another person steps into the room. She first saw Wynonna's face and got curious, turning to her side she now knows the reason why.

Waverly looks so adorable as she moves around the room, unaware that she was being watched.

Realizing the change in the atmosphere, Waverly stops and slowly turns around. Her eyes widen, lips open in shock.

"Nicole!" she said, as the heat in her cheeks starts creeping in.

Nicole shakes her head as she tries to hide her smile.

"Awesome...." said Wynonna slumping on the couch.

Nicole walks in, Waverly secretly adoring the sight of her wearing a pullover jacket and jeans.

"Hi." again with her dimples.

"What.... what are you doing here?" asked Waverly.

"Oh, you know each other?" Wynonna said but her eyes on the phone.

"Ahm we met like.. yah..." Waverly stops, feeling shy to divulge her previous encounter with the taller girl.

"That's nice, ready for lunch? I invited her cause she's new in town," said Wynonna.

"Right, lunch... yeah, sure. Everythings set." She glances at Nicole, who says nothing, but still staring at her which makes her more conscious cause she's just wearing a simple top and shorts.

When Wynonna's phone rang, creases appear on her forehead as she answers it.

"Yep, yah sure... ok. Be right there." she cut off the line then gave Waverly an apologetic look.

"Sorry sis, it was Doll. Something came up, I need to go." Wynonna said as she stood up and walk to the door.

"Hey, what's it about?" called Nicole, which made Wynonna turn around.

"Nothing important, stay. My sister will keep you company," she answered as she shut the door behind. Leaving Waverly and Nicole alone, standing just a few feet apart. They look at each other and again tension fills the room. Finally, it was Nicole who broke the silence.

"I can go..."

"No! I want you to stay! I mean.. you can stay if that's what you want..." Waverly feeling stupid for her outburst, this is not her day.

Nicole's smile was so big that it almost reaches her eyes. She walks slowly towards the smaller girl. As she gets close, Waverly steps back until finally hitting her back on the concrete wall. They are so close that she can feel the other girl's warm breath on her face. Nicole lifted her hand towards her cheek.

"She going to kiss me!" Waverly taught that she starts to panic. Her eyes shut close as she felt Nicole's hand tracing her jawline. She felt her palm brushing her cheek. The heat coming from her touch sends a shiver down her spine, giving goosebumps all over her body.

And then it is gone. Waverly slowly opens her eyes and saw Nicole rubbing her fingers to her shirt. She lifts up her stare at Waverly as she steps back. Her smile turning into a smirk.

"You got some dirt in your cheek, I think it was from the fireplace," said Nicole. Feeling overwhelmed by the obvious effect Waverly has for her.

Trying to hide her embarrassment, Waverly walk towards the coffee table and took a tissue, wiping her cheek she faces Nicole. "Thank you."

"No big deal." Nicole shrugged.

"I think my sister won't be back soon, shall we eat?" Waverly said rushing to the dining area. Nicole couldn't help but be amazed by the woman as she saw the dining table already set with meals that looks appetizing.

"Wow... and she cooks too!" Nicole gushes which made the other girl smile.

"Come on sit, it is just a simple meal, it's not like foie gras or caviar or something..." said Waverly.

Nicole hurriedly sat facing Waverly.

"She looks adorable, like a kid who's about to open a gift on Christmas morning. Wait... for god sake Waverly... control yourself.." she thought to herself.

"Why do I always do stupid things whenever shes around..."
