~~
Aniko felt sick. She sat in the in the very back of the SUV as quiet as a mouse and as disconnected as a satellite.
It was a long drive back to town and it felt like a good time to decompress and that's not because a fat bear came all over her face, chest and hair (how desperately she wanted a shower) but it was the other occurrence.
She could still picture, just the night before, the silhouetted figure of Ginny in the relative darkness; stripping her clothes off. They had split off from the others; Mason and the other girl had gone off to another room to sleep but who knows what the heck they were doing. Aniko, however, felt oddly trapped in a place she didn't know she wanted to be in or not. She could feel Ginny climbing into the one-person sleeping bag with her.
Aniko's body, while feeling the bumps of the road in her current car ride, missed that phantom memory of where Ginny pressed up against her the night before.
It was such a delight -- she recalled -- even with how pouty she was acting throughout the whole thing. As they spooned together, Ginny talked and talked and Aniko listened. She talked about growing up in a town with less than a dozen buildings on its main street and how the general store rented movies and was also a post office. Ginny talked about playing in creeks, fields, and about going to the theater with her friends to watch horror films during hot summers.
Through it all, Aniko was silent; having odd memories of her time in Romania before moving here. It wasn't nearly as fond as Ginny's stories, though.
When Ginny seemed to exhaust her words, she casually glanced back; shifting her body around so that they faced one another. In the darkness, she could still see Aniko's eyes shining with her usual blank expression but somewhat subdued breathing.
"I'm not good with girls." Ginny said sincerely; clasping her hands together around her collarbone. "So, sorry if I'm... like... weird or something. You're the first girl to make me a little... I dunno... fluttery, I guess?"
Aniko had no idea what that term meant but she could only imagine it was a good thing, therefore, it made her heart skip a beat.
"The closest girl friend I ever had was that one beaver I always tell you about... Parfait, you know." Ginny added and Aniko cringed at the name; feeling, still, that Parfait was some sort of competition. "And, well, that really wasn't close at all."
Aniko was silent and perplexed; shivering a bit. She was nose to nose with her metaphorical-everything and all she could muster was the slightest nod; the same token gesture the hip hop men she saw on music television perform to initiate respect.
They had a moment of just exchanging breaths between each other. Aniko's was barely audible and Ginny's was almost nasally and labored; though Aniko could only focus on how nice the scent of mint was.
"Yeah, something 'bout you is crazy different." Ginny lowered her head from the pillow with a goofy smirk as if she were about to stifle a laugh. "Oh well. I guess I just sometimes wonder if I'm messing up or something, like, I totally think you like me...? I could be crazy wrong, though. I'm sorry if I am."
'You're not wrong!' would have been a great thing to say. Aniko knew that now in the SUV, but back in the sleeping bag in Crescent Cavern Resort, all she could do is maintain that same blank and bitter stare.
"...Hmmm... well, I mean, I'm naked right now so if you wanted to do something... I wouldn't complain." Ginny spoke almost shyly; her eyes finally opening into half-lit little things covered by her eyelashes. Aniko gulped as it was very hard for her to deal with this side of Ginny. The shyness and vulnerability jolted her lower region and she tried with all her might to keep it contained.
It had been making Mason jerk off on them that was making Aniko so pouty and, maybe later in the SUV, she would be over it (well maybe after a bath, still) but then in the bed, she was distant and livid and really didn't want to be distant and livid. She adored Ginny. The thought of the red panda being nude in such a close proximity to her was breathtaking and amazing but she couldn't muster out an apology or even explain why she was annoyed.
Aniko remained stoic, regardless of the screaming Romanian voice in her head.
Ginny's eyes searched for any response from the hyena across from her. After a moment of nothing, she gave a weary smile and closed her eyes again. This red panda tended to miss hints, but she didn't miss it this time. "I think you're amazing for putting up with me, Annie." she rolled over and, just as she did the few other times Aniko slept in the same area as her, fell asleep immediately.
~~
Aniko sunk hard into her seat and dwelt. All she wanted to do was go back and relive that moment... but that moment was gone. She was sat in the back of an SUV with a silly looking tote bag next to her as she watched civilization come back into view from the road.
She couldn't get over how awkward the morning after that whole situation was. Everything felt strained and soured as Ginny seemed to intentionally give Aniko space even though, honestly, Aniko didn't want it. She had space; an abundance of space! What she really needed was Ginny.
What a miserable ride.
"This is my stop." Aniko rasped loudly enough for Mason to hear. He took to the side of the road and let her out. It was a rinky-dink bus-stop, a good 45 minutes south from her gated neighborhood. The bus stop was comedically grim; surrounded by industrial buildings and one-off offices, not nice offices but rather 1-800 lawyer types or fly-by night loaning firms.
"Are you sure?" Mason looked up into the rear view to see her. "I have no problem driving you further."
"Yes." she said and offered no other words; grabbing her bag with a bit of a huff and getting out with hurried efficiency.
After shutting the door, she was mildly startled to hear another door open and close behind her. The splash of Ginny's boots in a rain puddle sent a shiver through Aniko.
"Heyyyy." Ginny modestly squeaked; her hands behind her and under her backpack as she carefully leaned forward. "Ummm... can I walk with you Annie?"
"I... don't see vhy not..." Aniko responded and heard the exhaust of Mason's vehicle as it accelerated and disappeared.
"Everything okay?" Ginny leaned forward some more; somewhat invading Aniko's personal space. Though she didn't mind, Aniko reeled back a bit just from the awkwardness alone. "Oh yeah, something's obviously wrong." Ginny giggled a little.
"Virginia, I might--"
"Hold on a minute!" Ginny shot her hand up in a 'halt' gesture; resting her other hand on her hip. "Can I do something first?"
"Vhat?" Aniko's eyebrow raised as she reflexively took one step back.
"Uhhh." Ginny looked around her as if checking to see if anyone was watching then her ears perked up as she shot her glance back to Aniko. "Can I kiss you?"
Aniko stood there without an answer as her mind raced. Her cast-arm dangled at her side listlessly as she was suddenly rendered incapable of looking Ginny in the eye. "...Yes." she instinctively replied.
Ginny took a couple of steps forward; her arms still behind her as if she were hiding something. She stopped when their noses were only a few inches away; tilting her head to the side a little and squinting with a little smile.
Aniko's heart raced; trying to read what was going through Ginny's mind, but, all functionality ceased when Ginny closed her eyes and leaned in. Their lips connected with a cute little peck at first but Ginny then opened her arms and wrapped them around Aniko's shoulders; pushing her face forward as the rest of her body.
The feeling of Ginny's kiss, embrace and their chests rubbing together nearly drove Aniko crazy in that short moment. She felt her knees buckle a bit under the pressure but Aniko was instinctive in her response to Ginny; kissing her back as if they had done this thousands of times before.
They were really getting good at this whole 'kissing' thing.
"Stop being so grumpy," Ginny smiled; breaking the kiss but not her wrapped arms. She pulled Aniko forward and hugged her. Noticing the hyena's wagging tail from over her shoulder, Ginny smiled a bit -- hoping everything was now alright. "So, you gonna let me walk you home?"
Aniko blinked, still feeling that moment of a kiss. She felt like she probably should still be grumpy but all thoughts of resentment just vanished completely.
An awful thought of how scary-easy it was for Ginny to pacify her crossed her mind for a moment... but the thought died in infancy. "Well..." Aniko started as Ginny broke their hug and slid her hand down into Aniko's cast one.
"Mayhaps I could, like, stay the night with you for a change?" she lifted Aniko's hand with both of hers; excitedly gasping at the thought. "I never saw your place before! Plus, well we can take a bath and stuff... if you want."
"Y--" Aniko stopped herself. As much as she loved the idea of Ginny taking a bath with her (in her own giant bath tub, holy crap!) she realized how much of a relationship suicide it could have been. Disregarding how impossible it was to hide herself if she were nude in the same tub, she mostly focused on how her room would need to be entirely remodeled before she could even consider a sleepover.
Her hormone pills were a dead giveaway and her... rape-doll sure didn't help matters. Not to mention the simple fact that her room wasn't completely unboxed yet and it would be embarrassing for Ginny to see such disorganization.
Aniko looked around; searching for a response through the visuals of Lavender Hill's usual dismal mugginess. The glowing halo of a gas station convenient store caught her eye. She actually was thirsty and wanted to buy something but, for now, it acted as a deterrent to Ginny's question -- if only for a couple of minutes.
She pointed firmly; forcing Ginny's eyes to wander in the same direction. "I need to get a drink." Aniko weirdly rolled the 'R' in 'drink'.
"Well," Ginny folded her arms and looked off at the sky; exposing her collarbone area. "You could always drink from my neck, Dracula."
It was Aniko's turn for a moment of impromptu affection, it seemed. How she had the courage to lean forward and playfully nibble Ginny's neck but not take advantage of the night previous was beyond her.
"Okay, okay, stop it!" Ginny scrunched a little; trying to cover herself as she humorously pushed Aniko away. Ginny was always extremely ticklish anyways. "Fine, we'll get a drink."
~~
As they stepped onto the wet sidewalk; all littered with the golden and red leaves that dotted the ground, Aniko instinctively pulled her coconut water out of the bag and took a large gulp. She felt dehydrated, and despite not really wanting Ginny to see her behave this way, she had such a strange weakness for the drink.
Meanwhile, Ginny was clutching her bag in one hand and a large bottle of "Red Pop" which, as far as Aniko could tell, was its only distinctive taste: red and sugar. Though, there was a contemplative look on Ginny's face; almost troubled.
"Annie?" she spoke solemnly. "How come you insist on buying everything? It's totally sweet but you know I'm not using you... right?"
The idea was so absurd Aniko would have laughed had she of had the faculties to do so properly. She scowled silently instead.
"I don't understand vhere you got zeese foolish notions. I don't consider you a....." She paused forgetting the English equivalent to beggar. "...vagrant. If that is the correct word."
"I was going to say something like 'free-loader' but 'vagrant' sounds a lot worse," Ginny laughed as she approached a corner with a stand-up sign stating the prices of fruit within the adjacent store. "I'm gonna go over here, sit down, and ask strangers for money now. Goodbye forever."
"I consider you..." Aniko wagged her finger as she thought of the best word to use here. "...very special. That is vhy I buy you things."
"I'm special, eh?" Ginny grinned and slid her hiking boot along the pavement; moving leaves around that were far to soggy to crackle. "I think you're special too, then. I just don't have enough money to show it."
"Virginia." Aniko watched the leaves at Ginny's feet fold and twist and finally get planted in a small bank of mud. "I'm very tired, I need to get home take my pills, have a bath - alone- and then sleep."
"Well... yeah.. but you sound soo..." Ginny, while clutching her bag and drink tried to form her hands into claw shapes in the air and bared her teeth trying to inflect her Romanian Vampire voice. "I feel nothing."
"Virginia--"
"I am the darkest soul of all grump!" she over dramatically stated towards the sky; leaned back so far that she might as well have been playing limbo.
"Virginia!" Aniko raised her voice in a slight fry.
"Wut?" Ginny blinked innocently.
"There is dried cum in my hair. I'm not in zee mood." Aniko said, back to her dull and average tone.
"Well -- It was pretty sexy though and, like, really sweet of you..." Ginny nudged Aniko's shoulder a bit.
"Very romantic." Aniko huffed.
"I'm serious, I think you're the best thing to like ever happen to me. Ever" Ginny sounded pensive. "And not just cuz of the 'cream' thing. Probably seems impossible for you to see, but even I, Ginny Clover, have trouble making friends or get anyone to listen to me."
Aniko paused for a moment; almost feeling a boulder being lifted off of her back. Something about the thought of Ginny not being able to make many friends... comforted her. "I don't believe that." she muttered anyways.
"Of course I have a bunch of people who talk to me sometimes but..." Ginny sighed and set down her Red Pop; slumping forward a little with her hands in her pockets and very diminutive body language. "...they're obviously not friends. Like, best friends, you know? I can't really talk to them about all the stuff I want to talk to them about because... I don't know."
Aniko took another greedy swig out of her coconut water. She couldn't help it with how thirsty she was, but she continued to listen.
"You know. I forget if I told you or not but I'm pretty new to this town myself." Ginny stated; looking up at nothing as if trying to collect her memories. "The first person I talked to was Parfait and all she did was use my pool to... well. Parfait's kind of a..." Ginny looked around cautiously. "...bitch." she whispered.
Aniko almost smirked as she nodded immediately. She liked that Ginny was shy to swear but was fine with kissing her in public.
"But I dunno. She was the closest thing I had to a friend because..." Ginny snickered as she waved a dismissive hand. "...the guys at my ghost hunting club are just huge teddy bears. I don't really think they want to be friends though but they're really nice. They're probably just being polite so they don't hurt my feelings or something."
Aniko watched as Ginny picked up her Red Pop and took a big swig of it; arching her head in such a way as if she were expunging all of this information to a bar tender. If only she had a table to slam the can on.
"Sorry," Ginny chuckled to herself; shaking her head. "I'll stop now."
Aniko nodded and opened her mouth to respond but was immediately cut off.
"You know what's crazy worse, though?" Ginny added and Aniko closed her mouth. "Not only do I not have friends but now everyone's going on dates and stuff... like my mom... and a bunch of the guys at my club... and my mom. I think even stupid Parfait has a boyfriend but I dunno."
Aniko raised her eyebrow; not knowing where this conversation was going.
"I guess I just sorta wish I could have a... frieeend. You know. Boyfriend." Ginny stated as she sincerely stared into Aniko's eyes. "Or a girlfriend...?"
What the hell was going on? Aniko sure didn't know. She stood there, frozen, as Ginny patiently awaited an answer with those huge puppy dog eyes. Aniko couldn't quite tell what her response was supposed to be but before she had too much time to dwell on it, her subconscious seemed to have tossed out something on the field. "We... could fix that."
If Aniko wasn't holding a drink, she would've probably reflexively covered her own mouth after making such a statement.
Ginny's eyes lit up; springing with athletic accuracy to her tiptoes and clasping her drink between her hands. Her tail was attempting to wag but it was too huge to do it properly. "Like, for real?"
Aniko had no idea what Ginny thought her answer meant. What for real? What was she saying 'yes' or 'no' to?!
Aniko nodded absentmindedly but before it could even be registered by herself, Ginny already sprung forward and landed most of her weight against the hyena; spilling both of their drinks a little. Ginny locked their lips together forcefully which divulged some odd knowledge for both of them: the taste of coconut water and Red Pop sure went well together.
Aniko, however, still barely knew what she just agreed to until Ginny flat-out stated it after breaking their kiss.
"I... I promise I'll..." her eyes were a little teary as she choked the words out. "...try to be the best girlfriend ever."
Two things crossed Aniko's mind immediately: The 'Holy Shit' revelation that Ginny actually liked her that much and the 'Holy Shit' realization of... 'how to relationship' not being part of Aniko's required reading.
Despite the mixture of happiness and fear, Aniko remained cool on the outside; staring back at the nearly-in-tears Ginny as they both embraced.
They would have kept kissing but, to their dismay, Aniko turned around to see the store clerk from the place they were just at smooshing his face against the glass; watching them. It was a literal pig.
Aniko and Ginny looked back at each other. Ginny laughed and Aniko pulled her away; not wanting to be in this guy's eyesight anymore. She had enough cum in her hair for one... year.
~~
They had finally gotten far enough away and they had become so out of breath that their eventual stop was welcomed. They were at a small sit-down park -- the boring kind without a playground.
Ginny fell over on the grass as she laughed her ass off; both winded and excited.
Aniko slumped over on her knees; scuffing her favorite white-and-black striped socks on the grass.
They caught their breath in silence as Ginny's head was turned towards Aniko from her sprawled position. Aniko could not bring herself to make eye contact as the consequences for what she just agreed to still hadn't fully formed in her thoughts. Plus, as overwhelming as it seemed, Aniko really was quite smitten.
She was happy... but she was equally terrified.
"So, uhm..." Ginny took one last hard exhale and her breathing normalized. "...can I still come over to your house or wha?"
Aniko knew the question would come back. "Virginia, I already s--"
"I mean, now that we're dating." Ginny snickered with unbearable cuteness. Her giddiness was palpable. "It'd also be cool if I could meet your paren-- oooh, or is that too fast? Sorry, I dunno what I'm doing."
"I have already greeted your mother... sort of." Aniko stated. "But that's not vhat I mea--"
"My mom thinks you're awesome by the way." Ginny absentmindedly poked at her own cheek. "Something about you being quiet and polite, I dunno. Probably cuz you helped my grades a little bit too."
Aniko felt her cheeks warming. She couldn't help but hear the words 'Oh, I'm accepted' in her head over and over. It was reassuring.
"But yeah. Me and you." Ginny started as she lifted herself up to a sitting position. "At your hoooouse. Either taking a bath or like..." she looked around first; checking to see if anymore pig clerks were around. "...I could kiss you on other places that aren't your mouth...?"
Aniko shivered ferociously; the raging inferno that was happening in her skirt was reaching a fever pitch and she actually had to put her hands forward to block it at this point. She was physically yearning.
"...huh. Now that I said it, I'm really curious to know what you taste like." Ginny gave a smile that was simultaneously seductive and innocent as she chuckled to herself.
"I!" Aniko nearly yelled but paused to form the words. She started in Romanian but had to catch herself. "Need to...!"
"You know," Ginny added; scooting forward a little from the ground. "It's really awesome to think we'll finally be able to do some really... intimate stuff. I probably played with myself a couple of times thinking of you, you know."
Aniko's jaw dropped at Ginny's confession. In the most meager of voices, Aniko squeaked out: "Like... vhen...?"
"I dunno, there was that one time..." Ginny tapped her chin with her finger. "...I did it when you were at my house and you had to go outside for fresh air or something. In Skip calls. Uuuhm. Yeah, the first time I saw your boobs in that one Skip call I was like 'ohmagod!'. I seriously thought you noticed me doing it~"
Aniko inhaled deeply through her nose and shut her eyes. She was probably going to hate herself forever for doing this, but at this point, she was risking everything by even entertaining the notion of letting Ginny go to her house and... doing all of that junk.
"I've...done it too..." Aniko almost looked pained as she said this. "...but as I said before. I really have to go home and take a bath and take my 'peels'." for some reason she said the word correctly before but couldn't now. "And --"
Ginny stood up, dusted herself off, and gave Aniko a peck on the cheek. "Well, that's okay then." she stuck her tongue out and wiggled it around a little suggestively. "Next time then. Besides! Now that I know I've made you do it before... I'ma try to make you do it again."
"...do what?" Aniko said blankly; still surprised that she had gotten her way so easily.
"Play with yourself, of course!" Ginny smiled for a moment but it was succeeded by a serious expression. "No, but seriously, I really like you Aniko. I promise I'll try my best to do... whatever. It's my first real relationship and all so I'm... very nervous. I've had this crush on your for a while so... yeah."
"I... have had this crush as well." Aniko gestured weirdly; continuously forgetting and remembering English.
Ginny smiled and looked away; her gaze focusing on the damp cement beneath them. There was a long silence as her face avoided contact with Aniko but her eyes couldn't help but stare. "You know I'm, like, probably gonna keep asking you if I could go to your house cuz I really wanna do things with you."
Aniko couldn't take it anymore -- she had to put an end to her own suffering. It was a good kind of suffering, perhaps, but it was also awful to think that she'd never be able to go to a next level with Ginny or anything like that. She had to keep her secret a secret... at least for the time being.
Which meant, she very clumsily excused herself from Ginny's company with an awkward shake of the head; composing herself in the form of a plank of wood and proclaiming: "I MUST BATH! I WILL SEE YOU ANOTHER TIME!"
Aniko hoisted all of her belongings and waddled away under the weight of the bags; looking extremely indignant in the process.
"Whoa, wait a sec!" Ginny called out to her but didn't go so far as to chase her down. She merely stood there in the park -- wary at first that she might have done something wrong but still smiling through her excitement of this new... 'adventure' as she'd probably put it.
~~
Gasping for air; Aniko slammed her bags down on her bed and collapsed on the carpet... soon realizing that the placement of her and the bags should have been opposite. She was shaking as orange light seeped through her shutters and into her eyes. "What do I do now...?" was the question that raced through her mind over and over the entire sprint home.
She wasn't built for this... but something possessed her to run all the way home.
"What in the world do I do now...?"
Just as she wiped her forehead, she heard her cell phone's buzzer go off. Aniko was a little hesitant to pick it up because her first thought was that it was Ginny texting her about how she made a mistake in trying to be her girlfriend or something like that.
You know, something soul crushing like that.
She gathered the courage to read the message anyways -- even after seeing that it was, in fact, from Ginny.
"I love you, Aniko <3" the text read. "as i said before im gonna be the best gf you ever had! not that i think youv had any other gfs but you know :/3 ilu ilu ilu ilu <333!! plz txt me back soon!"
Okay, so the text wasn't awful like Aniko predicted. In fact, it made her feel... really good. Like her insecurities and fears about being in this relationship were temporarily quelled.
She stared at the hormone pills on her computer desk for a moment almost with hatred as she sighed a deep and relieved sigh. That is... until something popped in her head that upset her greatly.
It didn't upset her like... she was angry at anything, no, it finally dawned on Aniko that she had basically just rejected having sex with Ginny earlier.
Multiple.
Times.
With fury in her eyes she shot her glance at her little panda doll that sat with its rear up in the air upon her bed and a ripped hole in its bottom. She stomped towards the little doll and snatched it into her fist; glaring at it with intensity as it stared back at her with lifeless eyes and a happy smile.
"...I'm such an idiot." Aniko muttered to herself as she started to take her clothes off.
