>>10306582Colby hadn't blinked until now.
She'd been ready to be kissed and grabbed and whisked off her feet into a world of passion she was more or less entirely unfamiliar with. Or she'd been ready for a rejection, maybe even a harsh one, her mind prepared to throw up every defense she had that was still intact. What she wasn't ready for was to be asked what *she* wanted, because that meant she had to actually figure that out.
>"I want....."(In one part of her mind: This is INSANE. You've known Amy what, a week? Are you even attracted to women in that way? Are you going to poison the only real friendship you have by throwing yourself at her like a desperate horny creep?)
(In another part: Um, seriously? Do you FEEL how you're feeling down there, and you ask if you're attracted to women? She's impossibly hot and basically perfect for you and she's looking towards your BEDROOM; are you THIS big of a loser wimp??)
>"Things have been hard for me lately. Today was even harder than usual. So I'm having trouble keeping control of my emotions, and your shirt was off and we touched and there was this whole THING that happened and... yeah. I like you, Amy. I mean, in every way. I LIKE you. You're kind and generous and fun and smart and yes, REALLY HOT, and you like the same weird things I like and you've just given me the most perfect gift I've ever received. Just around you makes me feel so much better. But I have to admit I'm not at my best right now.">"Whatever happens right now, I want the chance to be with you while I AM at my best, in any way you'd have me. I don't want to close any doors for us. Right now, more than anything I guess I wanna be close to you for a little while..... if that's okay?"Colby steps in close to Amy and holds her in a hug, her chin resting on the top of Amy's head. She breathes slowly, and after several seconds, she chuckles.
>"Guess maybe that wasn't really an answer to your question though, huh?"
