Choices

There is some sad and lonely closet

As Julia once again got voicemail, she chucked her phone across the room. "Damnit!" She yelled as she slammed her fist against the table.

Three days.

She hadn't heard from her girlfriend in three whole days. Sure, they had argued and she wasn't even sure if they were still together but it wasn't her fault.

Anyone would have gotten mad if they had walked in on her current girlfriend kissing her ex-girlfriend. And maybe she shouldn't have waited two weeks to bring it up but it still hurt.

Just thinking of their lips mashed together made her shutter. Kate already had her chance and it was hers now.

Kate had given her okay months before Sophie would even give her the time of day. She had worked hard on this relationship and finally given in to the mushiness that Sophie had brought up inside of her. They had matching keyrings for Christ sake and if she had to listen to Luke's teases one more time she would...

It's a shame because she loves you...

Those words swirled around her brain as she picked up her phone and pushed redial. "Come on Sophie pick up... Sophie... please..." she pleaded with the voicemail.

Sure, she knew deep down Sophie had once loved Kate and she wasn't entirely sure she was completely over her but it was her turn now. She shook her head as she gazed lovingly at the picture that had replaced Sophie's phone number. Sophie was hers now and she was done being the third wheel in her own relationship.

She swallowed deeply as she pressed dial, the all too familiar phone number flashing across the screen.

"Hey." She said shortly as the woman answered the phone.

As she rolled over, her phone lit up a familiar hue. "Ugh," Kate let out a loud grunt. Out of all the people in the world, Julia was one of the last people she had expected to hear from.

Yet as much as she dreaded the call, she knew she had to answer it if she was ever to have some semblance of normal in her life. But as that night replayed in her head, she wondered if normal was ever what she wanted.

It was bound to happen and hell, it was just a kiss that Sophie had initiated. Julia knew of the grasp Sophie had when she wanted something. There was no turning down that woman on her war path.

Ever.

"H....ey?..." a groggy yet confused Kate picked up "Julia?"

"Yeah... well you see..." Julia studdered as she could feel the red hue flash across her checks.

The silence between the two women was deafening. It shouldn't be this hard. It wasn't the first time a woman had come between them and it surely wouldn't be the last; but this time was different and they both knew it.

"Julia just spit it out." Kate hissed as her words cut the air. "You got her anyway..." she mumbled as her voice trailed off.

"I know we haven't seen eye to eye lately since Luke's party but uh... do you... have you..." Julia's voice cracked. As much as she had convinced herself that she was doing the right thing, she knew deep down the fact that she was the one with Sophie was killing Kate.

The trail of love sick women parading in and out of Wayne towers was clear as day proof of exactly how hurt Kate truly was.

"What is it Julia? I got a date with Ashley... or was it Sara... I forget, but I didn't tidy up for nothing and this silence is definently not helping my prospects." Kate spoke as a slight grin snuck across her face. Julia may have the woman but that didn't mean, the rest weren't up for the taking.

"Oh... yeah... um..." Julia inhaled sharply as she could feel the tension creep in "have you talked to Sophie recently?"

"Oh, yes." Kate growled, "She is jumping around my bed as we speak. n***d. Nevermind the fact that you BOTH made it clear where I stand." She thumped her wall a few times in annoyance, "Didn't you hear that? My bed is very loud these days. Hey, Soph come say hi..."

"No, Kate I am serious." Julia spoke sharply, "We got into a... disagreement... and well, I haven't talked to her since."

Kate's grin turned into a frown as she could feel the seriousness in Julia's voice. This wasn't just a normal fight, it meant a lot more.

"You know Sophie," Kate tried to put Juila at ease, knowing she had gotten into fights with Sophie more than she would like to be reminded, "let her blow off some steam and before you know it, she'll be right up under you flashing that cheesy grin shoving some new concoction down your throat; and swearing it is the best thing you'll ever have."

"Kate..." Julia sighed, trying to cover the nervousness in her voice, "it's been three days..."

"Oh" was all Kate could muster as her heart sank.

Sophie could always be a hot head but she was never one to hold a grudge. And usually even if it was your fault, she would come back with some off the wall plan that you just had to try just to see a smile across your face.

"Yeah" Julia broke as she could feel the tears start to stream down her cheeks. She was never one to show her emotions but in that moment both women knew any animosity they had toward each other had gone out the window and they had one common goal.
