EXTRACT FOR
Finding Love
(Faye Valentine)

Feeling self-conscious, Caitlin picked her shirt up and started to put it on to cover her shame.

"Wait! I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. You can put your shirt on if you want, but you have nothing to be ashamed of."

"I'm covered in scars!"

"I prefer to look at them as badges of honor."

"I don't understand."

"You're a survivor, Caitlyn, and have the scars to prove it. What you see as something to be ashamed of I see as beautiful."

"B-Beautiful? You think my scars are beautiful?"

"I do. I know it sounds strange, but like I said, I see them as badges of honor you should wear with pride."

"If I keep my shirt off will you take yours off too?"

"Sure." And with that, Haylie pulled her shirt off and dropped it onto the floor.

"I've never done anything like this in my life and have no idea what I'm doing. I'm a virgin and all I can think about right now is kissing you, putting my hands all over your body. What is wrong with me?"

"Absolutely nothing. I'll be honest, Caitlyn, this is new territory for me too."

"Y-You're a virgin too?"

"No, but this is the first time I've ever done anything with another woman and I honestly liked it. A lot. I don't want you thinking you have to do this to be my friend and I don't want you doing something you might later regret so why don't we take it slow and see where the night takes us?"

"I liked it too. I loved the way kissing you made me feel. And touching you down there. I? I've never? God I want to do it again."

"Then ask."

"Can I kiss you again? Can I feel your body against mine? Can I? will you have sex with me, Haylie?"

"Are you sure that's what you want, Caitlyn?"

"YES! While I don't know much, I think I know enough to know when I'm incredibly horny and want to lose my virginity. P-Please. I've known nothing but pain and misery my entire life. All I want is a night of pleasure and happiness."

"We'll take it slow, Caitlyn, and you're in complete control. If you're feeling uncomfortable at any point just say the word and we'll stop. But before we even get started I want you to know you don't need to have sex with me to be my friend."

"I don't want to have sex with you to be your friend. I want to have sex with you because I'm incredibly excited right now and very attracted to you, Haylie. I know we just met, but? I knew from the moment I first laid eyes on you that you were the one."

"I'm flattered. Honest. I'm also single and willing to explore with my sexuality so this will be a learning experience for both of us." Reaching back, Haylie unhooked her bra. Sliding is down her arms, she let it fall on top of her shirt. "I'm not going to lie, you're incredibly beautiful and I'm attracted to you too."
