“So what is this?” I blurt.
“I don’t know but I know it’s not nothing,” Violet offers.
Under any other circumstances, I would give her a puzzled look. But she is right. “What do we do?”
Violet takes a deep breath. “I mean, this is all new for me.”
“Me too,” I blurt and when Violet tilts her head, I elaborate. “The ‘there’s something more here’ feeling.”
“Does it scare you?” she asked, looking out of the window as she asks.
“Shitless.” I let out an awkward huff of laughter. “But I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Not for me. I just don’t want to be scared of a relationship anymore,” I blurt.
“And you think I could be that person?” Violet tilts her head, her voice soft and encouraging.
“Maybe?” I scrunch my face with nerves. “But I don’t want to scare you either.”
“I’m not scared.” Violet’s voice is perfectly sincere, not even an ounce of fear.
“Really? Not at all? Because this is a lot. So I get it if this is something you just needed to do,” I offer and see as her face falters for a moment.
“I’ve never felt like this before, Dakota. I’ve told guys I love them. I’ve been in committed relationships. I’ve been in happy relationships. But I’ve also always been curious. I just never had anyone that made me want to explore it more. And I was confused for a long time. Thought maybe it was just something everyone is curious about. And I was okay with that.”
“So what changed?”
“You,” Violet answers immediately. “You’re the first girl I’ve ever really wanted to kiss.”
“Seriously? I thought you said you’ve been curious.”
“Curious, yes. Brave enough to go for it? No. And I never had that pull before. I don’t know how to explain it, Dakota, but it was different. I just knew you were the girl I was meant to explore this side of me with.”
“But is that all? I just have to be honest. I’m worried that’s it. Am I just the girl who awakened your sexuality, let you find yourself? Am I just the path for you to get to where you need to be?”
“No, you’re my destination.” Violet presses her lips against mine and I’m sure that this woman will continue to change my life for as long as she lets me.
