Chapter 4 Living Together

[Lexie POV]

I was suddenly excited when something entered my mind. Right! There is a way for me to be with her more.

"Hmm. Can you stay home while I'm in the process of moving on?" I gasped as she was busy sipping her pasta.

Is she going to disagree? Isn't moving on the process a good reason? When a person's heart hurts like this, isn't it often her close friend who sympathizes?

I was nervous when Agatha didn't respond right away, but I was expecting inside.

"Are you sure?" was her only retaliation. Do I look unsure of what I'm saying? Why is that her assumption?

"Of course, I'm sure. Don't you want to?"

I want to evaporate from my seat, realizing I should not dare to invite her to my place to stay. Maybe that's what she's thinking too. It's not possible!

"It's fine if you are preoccupied."

"No! I'm okay with it. When do you want me to come over?" overjoy flowed as Agatha consented and did not give malice.

"Alright!" Unexpectedly I spit out with ecstasy.

[Agatha POV]

I can see how happy she is. For me, it will serve as torture. It's hard to hide my feelings every time I'm with her, and now we will live in the same house ?? Until when?? Until she moves on? Is it that painful that she'd broken up with Kayden??

Why am I always in a problematic situation?? I can say no, but why can't I do it ?? what the heck !!

I hate it !!

It's hard to control emotion!

It's more complicated than moving on.

Should I be happy too because I can be with her or nervous because she might unleash my long-time hidden feelings towards her? Fuck!! Why am I in this freaking state? Argg!!

Now I don't know what I'm more afraid of, Lexie finding out I'm a lesbian? Or that I secretly love her?

Yes, I'm talking about that kind of Love...

My chest heaved, and at the same time, I was excited. Also, in my own emotion, I am no longer in control.

[Narrator]

Two days passed, and Agatha did arrive at Lexie's unit.

"You are here!" Lexie greeted her at the door.

"Y-yeah! So I'm here!" Agatha's anxious response. She didn't know where to look for Lexie because her wearing lingerie.

It's only now that she sees Lexie wearing sexy clothes. She almost ought the soil to swallow her. Moreover, they will be together under the same roof in the next few days.

Lexie bent down to retrieve Agatha's other luggage. Agatha could see her white chest even more. Agatha's throat seemed to be dry, so she swallowed softly.

"Let's just share. I don't have a spare room. Don't worry. When I become famous, I will buy a condo with two bedrooms. For you and me."

"It's fine. No need to worry much."

[Agatha POV]

Now we are going to sleep in one bed. This is ridiculous. It would be okay if only one day, it's tolerable, but now it will often be. Oh shit !! It looks like I always need to party.

Every night, this will be the view before bed. Can I sleep with it? Can I update my novel? Can I think straight?

This is a distraction that is hard to avoid. Why did I agree? Why didn't I make excuses? Or maybe I like it too ?? Do I really want to ??

It's galling that I can't even control myself.

"What do you want for dinner? I'll cook." Lexie asked, which surprised me because she doesn't really cook. She hates cooking.

"Ah .. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving tonight."

"Hmm. Is that so? How about tomorrow? What breakfast do you want?"

"Anything. I'm not picky about food best."

Every time Lexie talks, I have to be alert to understand what she says because only her voice has gotten me distracted. It was as if I was deaf, and my chest was pounding even louder than she said.

And by her look, I'm losing my sanity. Does she needs to wear this kind of clothes all the time??

[Lexie POV]

I offered to cook, but she's going out. We are already together, but Agatha will leave more often.

What if I can just come along? But that is not possible because the paparazzi may see me. My career is not stable yet, so I need to be careful.

"Hmm, okay. Have fun later. Just update me."

I'm disappointed, but I successfully hid it. What if I just forgive Kayden and give him what he wants?

Ahhh!! This is suffocating..

I saw Agatha take off her T-shirt. It was nothing when we were kids, but now something in me I should not feel. Ahh!! I averted my sight from her slender body.

Why doesn't she change in the bathroom? Of course, there is no malice toward her because she thinks we are both straight and best friends. We used to change clothes in front of each other when we were kids.

Doubts are starting to emerge. Is it correct that I invited Agatha to my place? It seems like I pick up a stone and hit my head big time. I just want to be with her. Is that too much to ask?? Oh, God!

[Agatha POV]

I was already viscous in my clothes, and I thought of changing in the bathroom, but I hesitated. Lexie might wonder why I was not comfortable dressing in front of her. In contrast, we used to do it when we were still young.

"Did your shoot reschedule for tomorrow?" I broke into silence after changing clothes. The awkward feeling towards her was wild. How long can I last in this scenario?

"Yeah. That would be tomorrow. Are you with me?" Lexie asked keenly. She even clung to my arm like a child. I felt her soft boobs on my skin which made me gulp.

I need to get used to it, not to be noticeable, or my secret will reveal in no time.

[Lexie POV]

Electricity flowed through my body when I felt her arm barely touch my boobs. Am I the only one who feels this way? I shouldn't feel it because we're best friends, and I don't want to ruin it.
