Catching Cruise

Firsts

“if I were to classify it, its that Miranda is my ex”

Dallas felt a tingling feeling in her heart, she could have considered it as jealously if she truly had  feelings for Cyd but knowing that she didn’t ,she resolved to the fact that she was just surprised, first of all, she could have never assumed that Cyd was gay back when they were in high school but to go over board is to have thought that she dated Miranda, someone who seemed more of a hooker than a student at that time, she  smoked a lot, broke a lot more rules than Cyd did although they were best of friends and she also had a history of sleeping with the male teachers

Cyd breathed out and studied Dallas face for any emotion she could get but she couldn’t get any, after some minutes when Dallas didn’t reply, Cyd reached out by herself

“hey..hey , you okay?” Cyd called out interrupting Dallas train of thoughts

Dallas quickly snapped out of it and replied “oh yeah, yeah I am okay. Was just lost in thought about something”

“oh what was that? Is it about Miranda or something else” Cyd asked her voice full of some concern

 Dallas smiled as if to put her supposed girlfriend at peace and replied

“Nothing much, its just I could never have imagined you guys dating, maybe hookups but not dating” Dallas replied half honest

Cyd smiled slightly as she faced forward and stared blankly into the night

“I guess so” she said  ,her voice lacking any humor that she always had and Dallas knew there was more to it

“Did you guys date that seriously?” Dallas asked

“well, yeah you are right, it was just hook ups but someone decided to go into a relationship “Cyd replied and looked at Dallas immediately knew

“that was you, isn’t it? You asked her out? And you guys broke up?” Dallas inquired getting ahead but Cyd chuckled

“I really wish it went down like that but no, we didn’t break up because of that” Cyd replied

“so why did you guys break up?” Dallas inquired again and changed the current song which was playing

“ignite “ by Alan Walker to “Mine” by Taylor Swift

“it was actually her who broke up with me actually over something we couldn’t both control” Cyd replied and added only to herself but Dallas heard

“if she didn’t we would probably still be together “she added under her breath and although Dallas heard, she decided not to bring it up and decide it then her heart whispered to her with ting yet again

“what happened , Cyd?” Dallas asked as a concerned friend

Cyd smiled and brought out a pack of cigarettes

“you want some?” she asked and offered it to Dallas who declined it with a shake of her head

“No . You smoke for reals?” Dallas asked

“yeah.. if you have a problem with it, I could try not to smoke when you are with me” Cyd offered still holding the cigarette in her hand but Dallas just smiled and complimented her

“Nah, do your thing. You seem so cool right now although you are not

“Dallas teased and Cyd chuckled

“okay..” Cyd said put one in her mouth while Dallas proceeded to help her with the lighter

After puffing out a smoke in the sexiest way Dallas could dream of , The silence between them was deafening until Cyd started to talk

“so really why did you guys break up? I might not have thought of it before but your boyishness and her sexiness would have made you guys a great couple”  Dallas pointed out with a smirk

“No teasing, Dallas” Cyd stated with a slight chuckle as she took in another puff of smoke

“Not teasing” Dallas replied with shrug

“and why the hell do you think she is sexy?” Cyd replied

“Well, she is. Don’t you think so?” Dallas continued with her slight teasing although really ,Miranda was sexy

“yeah she is but why the hell would my current girlfriend think my ex was sexy?” Cyd asked with a smirk

“I am not the one talking about my ex with my current girlfriend so don’t ask me” Dallas replied mirroring Cyd’s smirk and soon enough, they were both laughing

“Okay. .okay” Cyd said trying to take control of the situation then added “I am done talking about Miranda, its late already, let’s get going”

Dallas stopped laughing and check her watch which displayed “10:28pm”

“its not that late” Dallas said not wanting to part with Cyd just yet, it was really fun being with her and all

“you don’t want to leave me huh?” Cyd teased and Dallas chuckled then replied

“actually I really want to, lets get going” Dallas replied and stood up

Cyd chuckled and also got off the bench

“Whoa, Alan walker is still blasting off huh?” Dallas commented after realizing that during her talk with Cyd, the music in her ears  didn’t seem to matter to her

“Yeah, seems he really is but I am not going to the dark side of his ”Cyd replied with a chuckle commenting on the song as she slowly removed the air pods from her ear and gave it back to Dallas who chuckled as she received it but didn’t put it in her ear just yet

“You seem to be having fun” Cyd commented with a smile as she reached out to remove a strand of Dallas’s pixie hair that had blown forward to her face

Dallas smiled “Well, I really am”

They stood there in silence as Cyd finally finished tucking the hair back where it belonged, the wind seems to blow by softly

“Thanks” Dallas stated slowly

“There is no need for that” Cyd replied and then everything went in slow motion more like a trance as they leaned towards each other and met with their lips as softly as they could however this was interrupted by a sudden shrill sound from Dallas’s phone

It was Racheal, Both Dallas and Cyd broke apart almost immediately

Dallas touched her lips and said

“wait, should we doing that? I mean the relationship isn’t supposed to be this real right”

“Fake or not, all relationships have that kinda stuff. Girls even kiss each other for fun” Cyd pointed out

“Right. okay” Dallas replied

“on that note, was it good?” Cyd asked with a smirk and Dallas sighed

“Don’t be stupid” Dallas replied and added “let’s go, I don’t want Racheal reporting me as a missing person “

Cyd chuckled and they walked out of the garden to the parking lot

In the distance, their voices were could be heard though not so audible

“but seriously, the kiss was awesome right, I can’t imagine what it is like to kiss myself” Cyd boasted

“yes, it was okay, now please shut up” Dallas warned

“by the way, your roommate is a vibe killer”

“I agree” and they chuckled

Back in the garden, someone sat down in the bench they had just left, put down a camera and took out a laptop and started writing

“Cyd Adams’s love life in…”

“so when did you know you were gay exactly?”Dallas asked
