Shakayla's POV

   Mahalia and I are cuddling, the covers over us as I'm the little spoon.  She plants a sweet kiss to my bare shoulder.

I turn around and kiss her.  "I love the taste of me on your breath."  I say, smiling.  She chuckles, and we kiss again before I turn back around.

She starts stroking my hair.  "So, how was your first time with a woman?"  "It was better than anything I could ever imagine.  It was everything I needed."

"Now that's what I like to hear,"  I fully turn my body to face her.  We're gazing into each other's eyes.  She starts lovingly stroking my bottom lip with her thumb.  "Shakayla......what made you come over today?"

My hand is caressing her waist.  "After I realized I'm bisexual, I also came to realize that.........I like you, Mahalia."

"Really?  I couldn't tell,"  She jokes.  We both giggle.  "Well, y'know, I've always liked you.  I was never really shy about it."

I smile.  "You weren't."  "Is it right to assume that Keith is out of the picture?  I don't wanna be a sidepiece now."

"Keith Shmeith.  He's a thing of the past."  "How did he take it?"  "It was heartbreaking, and hard for me to do.  He was in tears, and you could tell he was angry.  He said he doesn't even know who I am anymore.  When you spend two years with someone, it makes you feel like they're just throwing it all away.  I feel bad for him.  I had to do what I had to do for me, though, even if that meant hurting him.  I still can't believe he's my ex now."

"Do you still........love him?"  She questions, her eyes looking down.  I put a sliver of her hair behind her ear and cup her cheek, causing her to look at me.  "Keith will always be my first love, but I'm not in love with him anymore.  Once you get shown the greater things that you could have, you don't want the bad things that you do have.  Mahalia, you've shown me a different side to myself.  A different me.  You do all the things he never could, and never can.  Plus, your personality is amazing, I love it.  You're smart.  You're funny.  You go for what you want.  You're passionate.  You're everything I could hope for.  You don't have to worry about me wanting Keith, because I only want you.  Mahalia, will you be my girlfriend?"

She happily smiles.  "Fuck yes."  She wraps her arm around my neck and initiates a loving kiss.
