(you and Aubrey are the same age; 34 years old)

Rumors spread through the internet, and social media, that you were just a girl she’d bang on her couch or that you were dating, but Aubrey always shut the rumors down, even if that’s not what you wanted. You thought she thought better of you, someone she couldn’t lose. She said, “We’re not together”. So now when you kiss, you have anger issues. Aubrey never openly said she was a lesbian, or any type of queer for that matter, but her actions spoke louder than words. But now they’re knee-deep in the passenger seat. Is it casual now?

You knew what she told their friends, “It’s casual”. It was dumb love, you loved being stupid. You’d dream of a year, maybe you’d share an apartment, and she’d show you off to her friends at the pier. It’s hard being casual when your favorite bra lives in her dresser. You try to be the chill girl who holds her tongue and gives Aubrey space, but honestly, you’re not that girl.

Currently, you were making out on her couch at her house. It was always her asking you to make out with her, always where she wanted and when she wanted. You never got to choose. And when you implied that you and her were girlfriends? She shut it down immediately, saying that you weren’t together. She grabbed the collar of your shirt, pulling you closer and she passionately kissed you. You broke the kiss, pulling away for a moment. Aubrey sat up with a raised brow. “What’s wrong? Why’d you pull away?”
