On the Same Page

by Haley Cass

“Riley, if someone was worthy of you? They’d move heaven and earth to be with you. There wouldn’t be any “moments of weakness” because you should be the only woman on their mind like that,”

simp nation rise up 🫡

She stroked her hand up from Riley’s hip to waist, before tilting her head down at the same time Riley tilted her jaw up to accept the brush of Gianna’s soft lips right against her cheekbone.

they be in luv or whateva

“Riley and I would get a lot more assumptions if we did that than what you guys get.”

i’ll assume all the same bae

Gianna cajoled, lightly dragging her fingers up and down Riley’s spine in the exact way that always gave her a warm shiver.

oh yes very friendly interaction

Gianna countered, reaching up to tuck a strand of hair that must have fallen out of Riley’s braid, behind her ear.

HELLLLLLOOOO

“Good. You have fun tonight. Tell our girl to call me tomorrow.”

OUR GIRL ? OUR GIRL ??!?!?! GAHHHHH

like she was in a running for the world’s most attractive Santa Claus.

simp

Gianna-of-the-masses wasn’t quite the same Gianna that belonged to Riley, in private.

belong to u huh ? ok i hear u simpy loud and clear

Gianna-to-Riley. Not Gianna-to-everyone.

The more she cared, the more she wanted to spend. And she cared about Riley a lot.

so real gi

“So… what was that?”

real good question there athena, pls answer away ms riley

It wasn’t often that Riley was literally, actually speechless.

me fcking too babe me too

Like, Gianna knew Riley ate meals, but she never gave her a cutlery set and offered to feed her.

BAHAHHAHAHA i mean she would tbf

Maybe that instinct that she’d developed, honed, and finely-tuned throughout their friendship was failing her, for the first time.

im feeling left out, what instinct we talkin bout

“Gianna, you are, like, other-worldly gorgeous.”

simp nation wins again

When she did, Riley slotted her fingers between Gianna’s – and they just, fit. She rested her other palm over the back of Gianna’s hand, encasing Gianna’s larger hand between her own.

meant to be, soulmates, twin flames in this lifetime and the next and the next

“What are you even thinking about?” She paced in her kitchen, muttering to herself, “This is ridiculous.”

not ridiculous, keep thinking long and hard abt this one

Like, what if she got there, and ultimately wasn’t attracted to Gianna in that way?

dont think we gotta worry abt that babe

no pun intended.

intend it cuz that shi was funny LOL

“Well, I was having a dinner break with Joel a few weeks ago, and she came by to drop off dinner for you.

simp

It wasn’t like she hadn’t heard similar, many times, but… it meant more from Riley.

shall we ask why ? or is that 500 pages from now

Maybe her lips looked even better, now. Gianna wasn’t sure.

go ahead and test that theory pls and ty

she’d suggested they fuck with a box full of sex toys and hadn’t even blinked about it.

BAHAHAHHA

“No, it makes perfect sense. And… um, you – you took your clothing off.”

astute observation babe

A small smile played at her lips as she turned back to press her face against the bed. Yep, definitely on the same page.

girl u got her fucked up getting all nakie like that 😭

This time, it was Riley’s fault Gianna couldn’t finish her thought process. She arched up and pressed her lips against Gianna’s for the first time.

GAHHHHHHH YAYYYY YESSS AHHHH

“You kissed me back,”

YES SHE DID YES SHE DID YES SHE DID

Gianna was attracted to her,

and you being attracted to her too, let’s not forget that massive elephant in the room

The motion drew Riley’s gaze, though, as if a moth to a flame.

simp nation strikes again 🫡

Objectively.

okay yeah uh huh i believe u totally

Only it wasn’t the world; it was just her world.

she’s your world, i love y’all already now kith

Riley grabbed her hand and leaned in across the table. “El, I get that this is surprising, but we are in a restaurant and our mother will be here soon.”

BAHAHAHA IM CRYINGHGG

“Oops. I’d apologize, but I think that’s the most action you’ve gotten in a long time.”

youre so hot i love you

And, if she was being truthful, she was glad Gianna would have a piece of home – of her –for this trip. She hoped it would bring her comfort.

if Gianna was missing, the specialness wouldn’t have been the same.

how u didnt know u were and still are in love baffles me truly

Riley found herself gripping the edge of the table as Gianna had so casually touched her thigh

girl u are foaming at the mouth for her and i dont blame u 🤭

She’d been the person who’d taken Gianna’s hand and encouraged her to do it. “Like you can’t do everything you set your mind to,” she’d said with as much conviction as she felt.

your honor i love them 🥹🥹🥹

That she felt every casual touch as though Gianna was made of lightning and Riley was a conductor, electrified?

that’s called being a simp

“Yeah, I can see that Joel’s excited to be here,” Gianna allowed, taking another sip of her coffee, not taking her eyes away from Riley. “But he would be excited to come to any photoshoot, and you typically don’t ever bring him along.”

clocked u so fast brotha, gotta be careful w those heart eyes

Gianna’s voice was much more commanding than normal. “I’m at your door. Let me in.”

GAHHHH BRO IM GIGGLING AND SQUEALING AND KICKING MY FEET IM SO EXCITED AHHHHH

Like a very agitated goddess.

OOOOOH u made gf mad

“You’re really going to make me say it?”

say it pls im getting impatient

“All right.” She gave in. If Gianna wanted it, she would get it. “If what you interpreted from that was that I’m attracted to you, then you’re right. As in, really attracted to you. As in, it wasn’t just a thing that night. As in, it’s all of the time,” she annunciated each word, before dragging her hands through her hair as she laughed, wildly. “If you interpreted that I can’t stop thinking about the way your lips felt on mine or the way your body felt against me, then you’re right. If you interpreted that every time we’re together, now, I think about having you in that way, you’re right.”

oh my this is going so much better than i thought

“You think about having me, in what way?” Gianna’s voice was dangerously throaty.

HOLLLLLYYYY SHITS ABT TO GO DOWN RN

“I want it,” Gianna cut her off. It wasn’t tentative or questioning, either. Her words were strong and sure and she nodded with it as she murmured, “I really want it.”

eager now arent we ?

“You can give me direction. I know how to take it… really, really well.” Gianna’s gaze was laser-sharp on Riley from down between her thighs.

oh my damn

“We can’t all be gods strongest soldiers,” Riley shot back, but, admittedly, Gianna made a good point.

aint that the fckn truth

Still, though, she drew her eyes down, then back up again, needing to take it – her – in all over again.

you’re getting bold lil one

As her phone buzzed, face-up on her desk, Riley gamely ignored it even as it made her heart skip a beat.

our girl got u wrapped around her finger u simp

Maybe not even then.

yeah pls let’s not compare the beauty of y’alls relationship to asshole ashton (fuck that bitch)
