“You didn’t have to say goodbye,”
Anna’s heart dropped ever-so-slightly as she looked in the girl’s eyes. Why the hell could the girl in front of her affect her so much. There had only been a small number of people who could do that to Anna. Theo… Simon. And Valerie Wood. Valerie freaking Wood. A girl standing right in front of her.
“I did” Anna whispered; honesty dripping from her voice. “Trust me I had to say goodbye, but I couldn’t. I laid there next to you trying to find the right words but I didn’t know what to say. I just couldn’t say it to your face so I did what I do best… I left,” Anna muttered. Half-truths; that’s what her words were full of. She couldn’t help it. She still needed to keep up the ruse. But part of her didn’t want to. That’s now how life worked. That’s not how today worked.
So instead; as her lips found the girls - bending her body down to meet her lips; Anna attempted to forget her woes. Her lies. Her walls. Every. Thing. Rather, she just wanted to get lost in this moment. And she was - lost. Her body reacted immediately as her mind faltered back to the last time she was with the girl. Two years ago; under the moonlight of the London skies entering from the window. Her lips leaving marks all over Valerie’s body - much as she is doing right now. A night of perfection; though contrasting the morning to hurt Anna left the girl with.
Anna didn’t say anything else; she was too distracted - knowing exactly where to place her lips - move her hands. She knew Valerie’s body like the back of her hand. It was muscle memory. And just like that; Anna and Valerie did what they had often did two years ago. They became one.

Anna laid with Valerie on the floor. The two had gone far past their seven minutes; to say the very least. But it didn’t matter. It truly didn’t. “Let’s leave,” Anna whispered - looking at the girl. “Let’s go paint the town; leave the bloody lock-in for tonight - just you and me,” she whispered.
