Waverly

Waverly arrived back home late in the evening. The day had gotten away from her but it was clear that Wynonna needed her. Waverly was slightly drunk and tired so she made her way to bed. As she laid down she thought about Nicole but before she could send her a good night text. She fell asleep.

Nic

Good Morning 👸🏼

I missed you yesterday

Waves

🥰 Hey you

I missed you also

Wynonna was a mess

Nic

Is she ok?

Everything alright?

Waves

Oh yes, nothing like that

Her and Rosita lovers quarrel

but more important

When will I see you again

Nic

I’m out of town

Left this morning

Waves

Oh 😞

Nic

I stopped by your place yesterday

wanted to say a proper goodbye 😉

Dinner when I get back?

Waverly didn’t know what to do. She clearly had feelings for Nicole, strong ones but she had no idea how Nicole felt. Was this just sex? Nicole was being so casual about being away. Waverly decided to take the advice she had given to her sister. She also had to have a talk. Waverly needed to make sure that they were both on the same page.

Nic

Is something wrong?

Waves

I think we should have a talk

Nic

Let’s take some time

We will talk when I get back

Waves

Ok. yeah sure.

Nic

Waverly.

I LIKE YOU A LOT TOO!

😘

And just like that Waverly’s mind was put at ease. Nicole was able to read right through all her hesitation, but even more important she liked her back. Waverly was not sure how long Nicole was going to be away for but taking some time seem like a good idea.

Waverly needed a distraction if she was going to get through her days without dwelling on Nicole and their impeding conversation. Waverly met with Jeremy and Robin for brunch that day. They had a lot to catch up on. Jeremy was his usual cheery self and very inquisitive about Nicole. The three of them gossiped over mimosas and made a plan to have a dinner party soon.

“BGD.” Jeremy said happily.

“What?” Waverly said quizzically finishing her drink.

“Big Gay Dinner. You know Jeremy never met an acronym he didn’t love.” Robin said with a peck on Jeremy as he headed towards the bar to grab the next round.

“Oh yes, that will be so much fun. We can invite Rosita and Nonna too.”

“Sorry, gays only.” said Jeremy

“Exactly” Waverly said grabbing the drink from Robin. Jeremy’s jaw dropped open completely shellshocked.

“Wait so you mean what I think you mean.”

“Yup, my sister and Rosita, sitting in a tree k.i.s.s.i.n.g.” Waverly sang whimsically.

“Love wins.” Robin said with a smile.

“Cheers to that.” They all clink their flutes.

Nicole

It had been 5 days since Nicole had gone to check in on her injured dad. She was finally going back home to Purgatory. Being away from Purgatory had only reinforced what she already knew. Nicole was completely smitten with Waverly and she was looking forward to returning to her. The whole drive back to Purgatory she thought about all the things she wanted to say to her. Their relationship had definitely started very physical, both of them overcome by their primal desires but Nicole wanted to take a step back. She was surely going to miss having sex with the brunette but she felt it was important to build a strong foundation. Nicole wanted them to start from a place of honesty and trust and she would say all this when they talked. Nicole was on pace to arrive back in Purgatory before noon so she messaged Waverly.

Nic

Coffee and chat? ☕️

Waves

OMG, I actually squealed.

I’m at the coffee shop. Writing.

See you soon

Nic

Great, be there shortly

Just like that Nicole was all nerves again. Even though she knew exactly what she wanted to say Waverly she was nervous. All indication was that Waverly felt the same way but there was always a chance that maybe they didn’t see things the same long term. Nicole debated whether she should go home first and change but decided against it. She was wearing an old college sweatshirt, jeans and a beanie, It didn’t really get anymore love me as I am than this so it was a good place to start. Nicole arrived at the coffee shop and scanned the room. She spotted Waverly in a booth, her head was down and her glasses had made their way to the tip of her nose. She was typing away furiously Nicole almost didn’t want to interrupt so she went to order a drink.

Waverly looked up from her laptop to fix her glasses that were about to fall. She noticed that Nicole was ordering. Her first thought was, seriously is there any outfit Nicole can’t pull off flawlessly. Nicole look in Waverly’s direction and waved when she saw the brunette looking at her. Nicole made her way around the tables. When she reached Waverly jumped up excitedly and wrapped her arms around Nicole’s neck. She held on tightly for a while and she felt their heartbeats sync up. Waverly gave Nicole a smooch on the cheek, sat back down and closed her laptop. Waverly wanted Nicole to know that she had her undivided attention. Nicole sat in the chair across from her and flashed her dimples.

“How was your trip?” Waverly said to break up the silence.

“It was good. I don’t know if I mentioned my dad had an accident and broke his leg. My mom needed some help around the house to make things more accessible.”

“Well, they’re lucky to have a daughter that’s so good with her hands.” said Waverly with an eyebrow raise.

“Yes, they are very proud but what about you. You were very motivated in your writing when I first came in.”

“Oh yes this book is just flowing.” Then neither girl said anything for a moment. They both knew that there was a conversation they were meant to be having now that the pleasantries were over. The barista came over and placed Nicole’s coffee on the table. After Nicole said thanks again the girls were silent. At the same time they went to speak up.

“Wel..”

“So…”

“oh you go ahe…”

“Sorry you were gon..”

They both started to laugh at the situation. Nicole sat up in her chair and reached across the table with both hands palms up. Waverly place her hands in Nicole’s and smiled.

“Waverly.” Nicole stated holding firmly to Waverly’s hands and looking straight at her. “I understand that you may be concern about what is going on here. Considering that I am the first woman that you have been romantically interested in its understandable. I want you to know firstly that I like you very much. I know that things started kind of intense between us but I want to make it clear that is not what I am about. I would like for us to take a few steps back and really get to know each other. Well, if that’s what you want. I mean I don’t want to presume.”

“No, I do. I like you too. Like a lot. I was worried, yes that maybe this was all just physical for you because of how it all just took off in that way at first. I can see now that there is definitely more there.” Waverly felt relieved.

“I want you to set the pace for us going forward. No pressure and no expectations from me. I want us to be completely honest with each other and build trust.”

Waverly was beaming with happiness over Nicole’s words. It was everything she was hoping to hear to reassure her that what she had felt was right. Waverly stood up suddenly rounding the table and plopped down on Nicole’s lap sideways, arms around the redheads neck.

“I agree with everything you’ve said but does this mean no more sexy time?” Waverly said resting her forehead on Nicole’s.

“Well, maybe some kid-friendly sexy time.” Nicole kissed Waverly’s soft lips.
