This wasn't the first time that Venus had to stay at April's house when her parents didn't want her around. Mrs. Dean and Mr. Dean understood the issues that Venus goes through back at her house, and they didn't mind welcoming her in their home with open arms. Venus had like half of her stuff over here anyway because she was at the Dean's residence often. April even made room so Venus could have some room in her closet and her bedroom. Knowing the troubles Venus goes through this was just an easier solution.

"Can you hand me my angle brush? I left it in the bathroom," Venus extended her neck from around the bathroom doorway, waiting to get her angle brush from April who was in the bathroom applying lip gloss on her lips.

"Just one moment please," April dragged the applicator across her lips, loving the way the clear glossy substance made her lips shine.

"April," Venus groans stomping her foot.

April grabbed the angle brush and handed to Venus with a annoyed huff, "Here."

"Thanks," Venus beamed before she went back to the mirror that was on the wall to do some finishing touches on her eyebrows. "You know that people are gonna ask what happened to Kellen, right?"

"Yeah, and I'll tell 'em that he's a bitch," April stated as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Venus leaned over to peek in the bathroom again with a loopy smile on her face, "You're the best, you know that?"

"Yeah, I know," April replied back flipping her hair over her shoulder arrogantly.

"And I just love your cocky attitude as well," Venus went on as she walked into the bathroom, going towards April just to stand close by her. "It's really appealing even though it's also really annoying at the same time."

"It's comes with the whole package," April grins, putting both hands on Venus's hips to pull their bodies closer together.

Venus bit her bottom lip, "You are the whole package," she flirted, looping her arms around April's shoulders.

"I'm flattered," April smiles.

As a fire ignited in Venus's body she couldn't help but to lean forward and kiss April. This was the first time she has ever made the first move, and she really liked the trill of it too. It felt like heaven on earth just being in April's presence. And she never wanted this feeling to end.

"O-Oh," April had stammered out once she pulled away, blinking slowly as her tongue swiped over her bottom lip.

"Did I do a good job?" Venus asks with frantic eyes, worried that she might have not done so well. This was her first time going in and actually kissing a girl—and this wasn't just any ole girl, but this was her bestfriend. It wasn't like she was ashamed of it but she didn't want to make a fool out of herself either.

"Yeah I..I liked it," April breathed out, her lips forming a soft smile to ease Venus's nerves.

"Okay," the light fawn toned girl pulled away and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear shyly.

"We should head downstairs now," April suggested clearing her throat.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool," Venus walked out of the bathroom quickly and grabbed her things.

Both girls made their way down the stairs and went towards the kitchen. Mrs. Dean and Mr. Dean were on their phones laughing at funny memes on Facebook, while Sheema was at the table stuffing her mouth full with food.

"Bumblebee, what did I tell you about stuffing your mouth full?" Venus spoke to the little girl with a gentle but firm tone and a knowing look.

Sheema's eyes grew big, once she realized that she had her cheeks stuffed with waffles. They always told her not to stuff her mouth with food, but sometimes she gets carried away.

"You gotta stop that or else the food won't get down your throat all the way," Venus tells her, taking a seat at the table.

"But momma's waffles are good," Sheema pouted.

"I know they are," Venus chuckles. "But you can always take your time when you eat them, okay?"

"Yeah," Sheema nodded, swallowing her food and then drinking some water to wash it down.

"Hello my parents that has yet to speak," April coughed dramatically.

Mrs. Dean looked up from her phone and gave her daughter a smile, "Hey, did you know that Justin Bieber is getting married?"

April's face went blank, "Mom really? You're late."

"Seriously, when did this happened?" The dreadheaded woman had asked curiously.

"We were suppose to get married," April huffed out.

"I guess that can't happen now," Venus murmured underneath her breath, snickering along with Sheema.

"Don't crush my dreams Venus," April grunts taking a seat at the table so she could eat some breakfast.

"That guy was a jerk by the way VeVe," Sheema had said out of no where. Everybody then realizing that she was talking about Kellen. "You're like..so amazing."

"Thank you bumblebee," Venus beamed at the little girl.

"I hope he has a dent in his head," the little girl also remarked underneath her breath.

"Sheema that's enough," chuckles Mrs. Dean. "Come on, lemme take you to school."

"Okay," Sheema slid out her chair, waving at her sisters, "Love you! Bye guys!"

"We love you too!" Said the two girls in unison, giving the girl a wave.

"Have a good day at school loves," Mrs. Dean says to everybody warmly before she walk out of the kitchen with her youngest daughter following behind.

"Don't you work dad?" April asks curiously.

"No, I'm off today. Why?" He looked at his daughter.

"Can you give is a ride to school?" April wonders with a peachy smile on her face.

"Don't you got a car?" He chuckles.

"Yes but I just don't feel like driving today," April tells him with a honest shrug.

Mr. Dean smacked his lips, "Excuses."

"Please?" Venus then added in with a whine. "You'll make our whole day better."

"I hope you have some 'you'll make our whole day better' gas money," the father grunts with the roll of his eyes.

"Pleeaassee," the both begged with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine you little brats," he gave in with a sigh, going ahead to drink the rest of his orange juice and sighing.

"Yay!" The both cheered as they got up from the table and rushed to his big truck.

Mr. Dean drove the two girls to school even though he really didn't plan on leaving the house today. But he was a kind man with a kind heart, and he would do anything in the world to see them happy.

Venus and April walked down the halls to their first class of the day. They were both beaming and only the two of them knew why they were feeling like this.

"I'll see you next period?" April stood in front of Venus, tugging on the straps of her backpack with a look of gleam in her eyes.

"Yeah," Venus nodded her head, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Cool," April also nodded her head. "Um..can I hug you?"

"Yeah," Venus blushes.

With their arms wrapping around each other, they came in for an embrace. This hug was different from the hugs they used to bring themselves into on any other day. It wasn't a certain way to describe it. But it was different in a good way, and it felt amazing as well.

"Okay, see ya," April pulls away, wiping her sweaty hands down his jeans, still trying to keep her cool since they were in school with a bunch of people around.

"Bye," Venus went ahead and made the move to walk in the other direction to her class. But she sent a little wave at April before she turned around and walked away with a very big smile on her face.
