Here's Looking at You [Sloane tag: May]

[Sloane Taylor]

Dinner was again very successful and as they walked to Sloane's car, she took note of how May's little moves showed how uneasy she was. But in a good way, Sloane had to admit. She was nervous in a way anyone who was new to dating always was and Sloane found it endearing that May was already sixteen years old yet she was just experiencing the 'second date jitters'. Although May didn't really have to be since she could have the pick of any girl who was even remotely inclined to their own sex. Any girl would be glad to have such an arm candy.

The hair play was probably innocent on May's part but Sloane saw it as a tease. Not a bad one, honestly. Just something enticing, like the other girl was inviting her in on something. She looked away but slipped her hand discretely into May's before crossing the road to the parking lot her car was in. It was dim with only three central lights illuminating the football stadium sized parking lot. There weren't many people around and it felt like they were the only two people right then.

Sloane didn't let go of May's hand as she fished her pocket for her car keys. When May basically told her that she wanted to see Sloane again, the redhead looked at the other girl with an undecipherable smile. The invite to the Edwards' party on Sunday surprised Sloane though and reminded her of Bree's brunch on Saturday. Nolan and her were supposed to go to that together. And she wouldn't have any excuse to give either one since if she arrived with Nolan, May was definitely going to see them and wonder what the hell was going on.

Unless May could be convinced to not be ready to be seen with Sloane and the redhead could manipulate her into thinking that since May was still not ready, Sloane should keep up appearances with Nolan. But then...that plan might backfire if May saw the flaws in it. And there were many potholes in the plan already.

Shaking her head slightly, she focused her attention back on her date. "We still have Bree's brunch to attend and that's on Saturday. May, are you sure you're ready to be seen in public with me? Have you told anyone at all about your preferences? I don't want you to come out like that and get bombarded especially since they're huge social events..." She was drawing on straws just now.

May was taken aback that Sloane seemed so concerned about people seeing them. She'd thought the other girl wouldn't care, that she would in fact enjoy other people knowing they were together.

"Oh." She fought disappointment; two dates hardly counted as anything serious. "People could have seen us together already." Her face flushed; would anyone have thought them more than two friends out for pizza had they seen? Or was it obvious they were flirting?

"Do you think anyone will bother us?" She asked worriedly. "I didn't think they really would. I know some people wouldn't be happy, but do you think they'd actively harass us?" She hated to think that anyone would be so closed-minded as to actively make someone else miserable, but after that Senior guy had gone off on Annie she supposed that it was more possible than she had wanted to admit.

She sighed. "I don't care if people know. I don't know how else to let them. I could tell people one at a time, but it just seems easier to be seen in public than to come out one person at a time." She could tell Bree and Rosalie before the party, of course, but they were her best friends and deserved to hear it from her. Other than that, people could just deal with it. "How did you come out?"

"Hey...I don't care. More power to you to come out. I was just worried because you've never done this before have you?" Sloane took on a worried expression. Bringing her hand down to May's waist, Sloane pulled her close. The redhead towered over the dark haired cheerleader and she gave a small smile. "I'd love to go with you." She reassured the other girl even though she knew Nolan was not going to take it any good.

Why she was favoring the girl, Sloane wasn't sure maybe it was because she hadn't had a girl for awhile now. And May was absolutely gorgeous so it wouldn't hurt to wait. Her question brought a smirk on Sloane's face as she recounted how she came out. She was only in the fifth grade back then. She had hosted a sleepover and the girls that attended had played a game that combined Truth or Dare and Spin the Bottle. If anyone chose dare, they had to spin the bottle and however the bottle landed on had to do something with the spinner and a game master was appointed as to what they should do.

The girl Sloane had spun the bottle to was a shy mousy girl who couldn't even look at anyone without blushing. It was great how a fifth grader girl's mind worked as the game master chose to dare Sloane to kiss that mousy girl. After that day, Sloane began to get really curious and a few days later decided that as much as she liked guys, she also liked girls a lot too.

Her coming out was tough. She had to endure weeks of humiliation and torture but luckily, Sloane was tough even back then and she just took everything in stride. It helped that Bree was there to support her and Tyler...well Tyler just thought it was funny how Sloane had managed to get some of the girls he had been trying to get. She never looked back since.

But times have changed. Although there are some people who view homo- or even bisexuality as something disgusting and completely inappropriate, Sloane knew there were more than enough people who saw it as something of a challenge to get her.

"Now I'm going to kiss you." She said softly before sliding a hand across the side of May's neck to cup the back before pulling her even closer so there wasn't a gap between the two. Stilling the other hand on May's waist, Sloane drew lazy circles on the skin her thumb touched. Smiling, Sloane didn't hesitate before she drew her lips down on May's ever so gently just to let May do the rest.

Sloane wasn't sure what was going to happen after tonight's date because the last time, she ended up at Nolan's place suddenly in ball and chain. But for now, she was going to enjoy the shy girl standing in front of her, who had the softest lips she had ever tasted.
