2nd Date, part 1 (of 2) – Stef
Their first date had been awkward and fun and romantic. Flawed, but that kind of flawed that somehow also managed to be better than perfect ever could be. Or, at least that’s how she remembered it. It might just be because she was… well, probably in love with this woman. They’d known each other nowhere near long enough for her to have any business thinking something like that, let alone saying it, but there it was. Oh, she wasn’t going to say it, to admit to it, at least not until they had a lot more than one measly quirky first date under their belts.
In that week before she’d worked up the courage to take that last step and tell Mike she wanted a divorce, she’d read all kinds of literature on this subject – maybe too much. She’d read enough to know, even more than she’d known previously, that she was lucky to have been born in a time where there was literature like this to read, but she’d also read enough to know that getting her hopes up as high as she, admittedly, already had, was a damn stupid thing to do.
She’d gotten dangerously close to kissing a fellow cadet at the academy once – a woman, Lindsey Donovan – after they’d both had a little too much to drink one night. Apparently that was a cliché. The point was, that’s all she had to her name as far as previous lesbian ’cred’ – or, in other words, Lena was her first. The books all said that’s how she needed to handle this, treating this like Lena was her first. Because of that, the books told her not to expect too much. First loves were so rarely last loves, after all.
It seemed defeatist to actually believe that though, so she figured she’d just have to try her best, hope for the best, and take her lumps if the books prophecies came to past anyway and she ended up failing miserably at this.
In the background, a bell rang. School was out. She turned away from the ocean and looked back towards the school. Tonight was their second date. Brandon, her son, was with his father, Mike, tonight. Mike was going to be the one picking him up. She thought about that. The divorce was still ongoing. Until then, they’d agreed to switch days, like a shift. She didn’t like it. But there it was.
