Gossip Girl One Shot

When you arranged for your close friend to come over for a drink, it seemed like a good idea but seen as you knew that you wanted to tell her something terribly important, you were very fearful of what would come from it. Serena had been your friend since you wore nappies, your mothers having been friends since school as well. Although you had been dear friends for as long as you could remember, you pretty much always knew that wasn't the full extent of your feelings.

It was a hard fact that you fought with throughout your teen years and now into your early adulthood. All you had ever been taught as acceptable was being heterosexual but deep down you knew that you had far more interest in women. You tried to fight it and even dated and slept with men, but you never felt anything for them.

Finally, you had come to fully accept yourself and you hoped that your best friend would feel the same. You doubted that she would ever love you in return but all you could hope was that she would still want to be your friend after she found out that you were a lesbian.

When she arrived, the two of you talked for a bit before she noticed your nerves. It wasn't normal for you to be so nervous and she knew that.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

You took a deep breath, knowing it was now or never.

"I need to tell you something Serena," you sighed. "And I just really hope that you don't hate me for it."

"I could never hate you," she assured, reaching across the table to take your hand.

"I'm gay."

Maybe you could have thought of a more eloquent way to tell her about your sexuality but at least it was out there now. Now she knew you liked women and it was just down to her reaction.

"How long have you known?" She asked softly.

You shrugged your shoulders. "I guess I've always known. Once I first found a girl that I liked, I realised I never actually liked the any of the guys whom I had seen."

She cocked an eyebrow at you.

"Who was your first female crush?" She questioned.

You paused. You hoped you wouldn't have to tell her that part.

"Um... it was actually you."

Serena let out a laugh. "And how do you feel about me now?"

Your cheeks became bright red as you saw any form of escape disappear from your sights.

"I feel the same."

A smile curled onto her lips. She didn't say anything more, rather leaned across the table until her lips pressed against yours. That went a lot better than you imagined.
