     Imogen has been begging me all week to go with her to New York for the summer. I finally caved and found myself packing my bags for this trip. I guess it'll be a nice change... get a feel for the environment before i officially move there for college. It didn't take much for me to convince my parents- after all a hot shot lawyer like my dad and the best female real estate agent for some of the highest selling neighborhoods and homes across America, are rarely ever home anyways.

"Blair!"my dad yells up to me.

"Great.." i whisper to myself. I get up off the floor once i zipped up my bag and grabbed my phone. As soon as i open the door the musty smell hits my nose once more. You'd think i was used to it by now but nope. I take one step down at a time until i hit the first floor and walk into the living room. My dad was sat down on the couch in the first living room- his black suit complimenting our powder blue couch and the sight of his phone pressed against his ear wasn't new. Why did he even call me down if he was gonna take a phone call?

"Hey Blair." I hear an oh-so-familiar deep voice say.

I turn my head towards the kitchen to see my ex boyfriend standing at the counter, grabbing an apple and tossing it in the air before taking a bite out of it. He's an attractive guy- don't get me wrong, but, he's just not for me. He never really was. Our family loved us together and before him, I had only dated one other guy. Granted, we were together for 2 years. Not only was he incredibly controlling- he wasn't so great.... at... well you get the picture. He walks closer to me, the smell of his cologne reeks of cardamom and violet mixed with a leathery note. His hazel eyes grow lighter the closer he gets and his blonde dyed hair easily shows the brown roots of his original hair color.

"What do you want Lynx?" I roll my eyes and look up at him. He towers over me- him being 6'0 and me being 5'1.

"I came here to see your dad." He says pointing to him on the phone.

"Okay so why are you talking to me?" I walk over to the fridge and grab a water bottle to bring on the drive over- it only being about 2 hours to get to the house Imogen and her cousins had rented out for all of us to hang out at. Imogen is only bringing me, her guy cousin- Jax, decided to bring atleast 2 other people, and her closest cousin- Tabitha, is bringing a group of people. The place has atleast 6 rooms and 9 beds. I got stuck with the smaller room but it's fine with me because i like my own space.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" He puts an arm on one side of me and backing me up into the counter, trying to make a move on me- what a dumb fuck honestly.

"Not you." I push him back and walk away from him as quickly as i can.

"Oh come on!" He speaks up throwing his hands up in the air.

"Take a hint Lynx! I broke up with YOU. Let it go!" I shout at him and walk to the couch next to my dad who finally put his phone down.

He greets me and asks how I'm doing before getting to the actual point of calling me down. "Alright well you got all you need for your trip?"

"Yeah Imogen is coming to pick me up now actually."

"I sent some money into your account. Hopefully it'll be enough to keep you going for two and a half months." He tosses his leg up and lays it down on his left knee. "You know the deal- don't call unless it's an emergency, ive got a lot of business to deal with i don't need to deal with your drama."

Here we go again. I scoff at him and agree to leave him alone. I don't need his help most of the time anyways I've gotten by on my own. I shut my bedroom door and gather my suitcases to make leaving as quick as i can and as if on queue, Imogen texts me 'Let's go!'

I grab all of my things and run out of my room and straight out the door not even announcing my leave for the summer. I see Imogen standing by the trunk door of her Jeep moving things around so my two bags will fit in as well as the blanket and bookbag I'm bringing. She pulls me into a hug and then grabs my things and puts them into the trunk while i go to the front and sit in the passenger seat, placing my bookbag down in front of my legs. All we have to do is pick up Tabitha and one or two of her friends and we'll be on our way to New York. It only took us ten minutes to get there. That's when Imogen texted them to come out and helped them load their stuff in the car while i shifted to the back so that Tabitha got the front seat. As soon as i buckled my seatbelt, Tabitha and Imogen got in the car and to my right i see the door swing open, revealing a dark haired, blue eyed goddess-like women hopping in the car. She had tattoos. Not fully but she has them placed on her arm at different spots and one on her right collarbone of a crescent moon and on her left, the sun.

"Hey Blair, been awhile." Tabitha says, "this is Zara. She's a close friend of mine. The rest will come later and leave in two weeks or so."

       "Nice to meet you." She smiles buckling herself in and removing hair from in front of her face.

      "Nice to meet you too." I smile kindly at her, "and Tabitha, it's nice to see your beautiful self as always."

       "I'll kiss you Blair, don't play with me. I get a little rowdy when I'm drunk." She warns.

      "Since when do you like girls?"

      "Oh i don't I've made out with two and it's not my thing, although, it was a great experience, i like men."

       "Well if I'd have been the one you were kissing i could've been anything you wanted." Zara jokes and shrugs her shoulder.

      "We all know you're a sex fiend." Tabitha rolls her eyes.

      "Not all of us!" I raise my hand. "So you have a lot of sex? What's that like?"

      "Don't mind her and her questions, she's only had sex with one guy and he was awful at it so she's very curious about it." Imogen replies starting the car and playing her music lightly.

      "Oh i don't mind at all. Although, you probably wouldn't relate to it- i don't have sex with guys." Zara says smiling. Stunned a bit my eyes grew wide.

     "Oh Zara you've gone and scared the girl." Tabitha notices looking back.

      "No no." I assure them, "just stunned."

       "Why? Problem?" Zara asks.

      "What? No! Just kind of.... interested? What's the difference? What's it like?" I turn in my seat to face her, leaning my back against the door and putting one leg up.

      "Oh god while you give her all the gory details I'm gonna take a nap." Tabitha says grabbing her blanket and leaning back in her seat.

      "Yeah I've heard this all before from T here." Imogen says turning her music up so that the two front seats can't hear us. I shrug it off but Zara turns to me and takes her seatbelt off, sitting a bit closer so she doesn't have to shout over the music.

     "Basically, everything. Girls in my opinion are more soft, delicate. They're just so... perfect and from what I've heard about hetero sex- us lesbians are doing it way better. Plus I'm like always the one on top and guys don't usually like being gagged with my fingers in their mouth calling them 'princess' and they dont have vaginas."

      Well that was very... what's the word? Intense? "Oh?"

      "It's a lot more fun." Zara smiles before leaning in closer so that she can whisper in my ear and places her hand softly on my knee. She whispers, "if you're ever interested i can show you."

       She sits back in her spot and re-buckles her seatbelt. Just goes onto her phone without saying another word. Did she not just hit on me? Am i missing something? What do i do?

     I thought about what she said the entire two hours of the car ride with her sitting right next to me. I wouldn't put experiencing it with her as... well my experiment, off the table i mean she's the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Her eyes are a deep ocean blue- you'd definitely get lost if you stayed long enough. She seemed tall- I'm guessing around 5'7. And her lips? Oh my god i can't stop staring at them.  They're just so full and... and kissable and like.. i don't know. But i do know it's not off the table. Moments later Imogen stops the car infront of this huge mansion in Staten Island. I hopped out after them, grabbing my things and making sure my dress doesn't get caught in the door.

"Holy shit guys." I look around. It smelled of freshly planted flowers. The stairs leading up were massive and the pathway was encompassed by bushes. The door was tall and wide and dark- not completely black.. more of a darker brown. "How do you afford this?"

"Thank Zara. She knows the owner and got us a sweet ass deal." Tabitha points to her.

"How do you know someone who lives like this?" I ask her, her standing right beside me on the left- Imogen to my right.

"Work." She shrugs off, going back towards the car. "Hey Imogen! Unlock the trunk!"

      We all followed her to the back of the car and got our things. Once we headed inside we all got to pick our rooms- mine of course was the small one right next to the stairs. Tabitha and Imogen decided to share the room with the two twin beds, and Zara is in the room next to mine- sharing it with one of the friends that's coming for only two weeks. That left about three more rooms with all of them having bigger or two beds so everyone else was sharing. We were just waiting on Jax and his two friends to really get the party started. Imogen said they'd bring alcohol and we have a few joints already prepped for the wait. We decided to go out on the balcony and look out at the backyard- which was nicer than anything I've ever seen. It was shaded very well by the trees and the lake was beautiful, I'd love to go down there at night and just enjoy the surroundings. It smelled just like the front of the house did and the balcony was fully furnished with three white hammock chairs and a matching sofa swing. I sat on one of the hammocks along with Imogen right next to me and Zara across from me.

      Tabitha comes out with the joint in hand, sparking it up before sitting on the sofa swing with her legs up to rest her head on her knees. She takes a hit and hands it to me and we start the circle. Once i went to pass it to Imogen who's distracted by her phone, i notice Zara looking me up and down... kinda like shes checking me out? Her breathing was steady and she was leaned over, her elbows resting on her knees. What really sold it was the little lick of the lips she did when she looked me in the eyes to really understand. I must've gotten so lost in staring at her that i accidentally dropped the joint. I jumped and picked it up quickly when she laughs at me and grabs her phone out of her back pocket.

    We waited 20 minutes and that's when Jax  and his friends arrived. I met Tate- unlike Jax who was 6'1, he was a bit shorter, 5'10 I'm guessing. His eyes were Hazel and his black hair was slicked but messy and he wore a leather jacket. The other guy who was the same height as Jax had dark brown eyes and his hair was dyed an electric grey- purple. He dressed like every guy you'd see online- the rings, button up, dark aesthetic. His name was Liam.

      "I'm gonna go in and make the drinks." Tabitha says putting the joint out and getting up.

      "I'll help!" Jax says putting his things down by the door.

       "I'm gonna show the guys to the rooms. Be back in a bit." Imogen puts her hair up and walks the guys in.

     That left Zara and I alone, outside. With everyone in the house, distracted. She watched everyone go in before she turned to me and smiled as the door shut.

      "So, what's up? Tell me about yourself." She asks me, lacing her fingers together.

     "What do you wanna know?" I ask her.

      She thinks for a moment... "how old are you? How did you meet them?..."

      "Well i just turned 19. I met Imogen in middle school. We had english together and we just clicked and from then on we became best friends and i slowly started to be included in her family. What about you? Tell me about you." I lean back in the hammock, blocking the sun from my eyes.

      "Well I'm 22. I've been friends with Tabitha for two years now and this is my first time meeting both of her cousins." She shrugs.

      I take the opportunity of silence to kind of confront this tension between us. "Can i ask you something?" And as soon as i finish my sentence she nods a 'yes' to me. "Were you like... flirting with me? In the car?"

     She chuckles at me softly, "yeah a bit. But if you're not interested I'll stop."

      "Were you also checking me out? Like half an hour ago?" I ask her nervously.

      "Yes." She smiles and answers honestly. "But again, if you're not interested.."

       I mean thinking about it, she's here. She's really fucking hot. And what could hurt in trying it? I'm just a bit nervous because I've never kissed a girl. I've thought about it before but i always just let it go every time the thought came up. "I mean.. okay I've thought about it." I admit to her. "But I'm nervous."

     "Do you want me to kiss you? Just to see how you feel about it? Since no ones around right now. I get if you'd be uncomfortable since we just met but-"

      I stop her. I'm eager to try it. Just this once right? It couldn't hurt, right? "I want you to kiss me. Just to.. know.."

      She gets up from her spot and stands infront of me, bending down and opening up my legs with her hands so that she can bend her knees and be directly in my face. She looks me deep in the eyes, i can see the lust and attraction by the way she looks at me. She smirks slightly at me while she rubs my thighs lightly, trying to calm my nerves but they're already worked up. I just want her to do it. I want-

      She did it. She pressed her lips softly against mine and she smiled into the kiss. I felt something. A little spark. Genuine passion. And not just on her part, i pulled her in by the back of her neck and returned the kiss but deeper. I couldn't help but smile against her touch and when she felt me do this, she used one hand to tilt my head up under my chin a little more and laid me back onto the hammock slightly before she gets up and our lips depart.

     "How was that?" She asks me.

      Before i could even answer Jax comes out and she backs up. "What up what up ladies?" He lights a cigarette and takes a seat on the sofa chair.

     "I'm gonna go check on the drinks." Zara says walking back in.
