“are you sure about this?” celia whispered softly, stroking your knuckles with her thumbs

you had decided to make your relationship public. you were tired of hiding her. your love was beautiful. it needed to be shared.

you thought the best way to do it was for someone to send an ‘anonymous’ tip in that they saw the two of you together to an eager photographer. the two of you would kiss for the camera, and soon the picture would be everywhere

you knew it was gonna cause extreme backlash, but you wanted- needed to do this

“i’m positive.”

celia nodded “i love you always, no matter what.”

“i love you.” you repeated

the two of you exited the car and went over to a overlook. you made sure the ‘secretive’ camera-person was ready, and kissed her

the next day, the picture was everywhere, just how you knew it would be. but you didn’t care. you finally could love your girlfriend loudly
