August - Lemon Zest's decision

Lemon leaned against the wall as she sat on the floor. There had been some commotion around her earlier, but she barely even paid attention to it. Instead her mind was focused on what had happened when Sunny came into her. At least it seemed like Sunny came on to her.

Lemon absentmindedly moved a finger under the strap of her tank top. She began to twirl it around her finger, and as she did she began to put the scene with Sunny into perspective. The more she thought about it the more it seemed Sunny had truly asked her out. She wanted to groan. Dudes were so much easier to read.

Still, it felt like Sunny was interested in her. If that was the case she wasn't against it. After all she had experimented a bit with Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody. It hadn't been a bad experience, and both Octavia and Vinyl had made her desired and wanted. She glanced at Sunny, watched her talking to Sour, and she began to wonder exactly what being the girlfriend of Sunny Flare would be like.

It didn't feel wrong, but at the same time it felt awkward. This was Sunny, and she was one of her best friends. She didn't want to compare any of her friends to inanimate objects, but in a way Sunny, and her other friends, were like a favorite old hoodie. It was comfortable, safe, always there for her, but she wasn't sure she wanted to bang her hoodie in this case.

She kept thinking about it, and finally a series of finger snaps caught her attention. She looked up to see Iconic smiling.

"Everything all right Cous?"

She nodded, followed her cousin, and even as he talked she found it was hard to concentrate on what he was telling her to do. After a few minutes he stopped, walked over to the bed, and she watched as he opened a hidden cooler and brought over a couple of sodas.

"Okay, spill. There's something bugging you. I know you, and you listen a lot better than this usually."

She sighed, "I think one of my friends might want to date me," she shook her head, "And I don't know how I feel about it."

He nodded, grabbed a bottle opener that was tucked near his camera, and opened their bottles for them.

"Does it bother you because you're not into it, or because it's your friend?"

She looked at him, "Because she's my friend."

He nodded, "Okay, then you've got to decide if you're willing to try to be more, or if you want to keep your friendship as it is. Just know it won't really stay the same."

She looked at him, "what do mean?"

He looked toward the ceiling, "About six years ago I had a great friend that wanted to be more. He let me know how much he cared, and that he thought we'd be a great couple," Iconic shook his head, "The problem was that I wasn't into it. I let him down as easy as I could, and I told him that I thought he was special, but I just wasn't into that. He respected my decision, but after he started to become kind of distant. We're finally back to being pretty good friends, but we both know that the friendship we had is gone. The one we have now is fine, but it has changed."

Lemon sighed, "What if it don't work out?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "Same thing. Things will change, but hopefully you'll both stay good friends."

She leaned back holding the soda, barely sipping it, and she heard a soft click. She looked to see that Iconic had moved, took the picture, and he smiled.

"Sorry, but that was a perfect picture. Why don't I take some more while you just think?"

She shook her head, and looked toward the door. The sound of clicking was soon drowned out by the rushing of her blood. She understood what Iconic had meant. She leaned forward, closed her eyes, and imagined Sunny right in front of her.

She smiled. Her hand moved to the strap of her tank top and she pulled it away. She could practically hear Sunny encouraging her, wanting to help her, and soon her top was off. Hands gently touched her breasts, fingers pinched her nipples, and she opened her eyes to the sight of nothing but Iconic snapping pictures.

She sighed, put her top back on, and looked at Iconic.

"Thanks for the talk."

He nodded, "You're welcome. I guess I helped huh?"

She nodded, "Yeah, I know what I want to do now. I just got to figure out how I want to rock Sunny's world."
