Making it to the record store Avery parked her car and undid her seat belt, looking at Zoe and Mac before they all got out.

“Now you two better be good in there,” she told them trying her best stern voice though she was sure she was failing at it.

“And if we’re not?” Mac asked her with a raised eyebrow and Avery kept her glare. Knowing that he was testing her, trying to get under her skin. “Are you going to ground us or tell mom and dad?”

Avery smirked as she shook her head, “No but again I’ll make you pay for your own meal and we won’t go to the video game store either,” she told him honestly before moving to get out, watching as her younger siblings got out too and the minute they had she lead the way inside.

Slowing down once she was inside as her eyes went to the front counter where Paisley was seated on a stool she usually kept behind the counter. A book in her hand which meant today was probably a slow day. She only read books on slow days.

Chewing her lip Avery took in a breath as she saw Zoe and Mac had already wandered off to browse through the Cd’s which meant she luckily didn’t need an excuse to tell them about why she was leaving them alone. A fact that made her let out the breath she had taken in.

Walking to the counter where Paisley was and when she made it there she wasn’t surprised when Paisley didn’t lower the book that she was reading to look at her.

“Can we talk?” Avery asked sounding hopeful.

“I don’t know, can we?” Paisley asked clearly mocking Avery as she kept the book in front of her face and Avery gave her a tiny glare.

Hating how stubborn Paisley could be at times and of course it figured she’d fall for someone so stubborn. Obviously God if he existed had a damn sense of humor.

“Funny,” Avery stated as she moved to push Paisley’s book down which got Paisley to look at her. “Please talk to me.”

Paisley returned Avery’s glare, “I’m talking are you happy now Hanson?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.”

“Again, funny,” Avery told her as she rolled her eyes. “Please tell me why you’re upset. Juniper told me you ran to Cal last night after you left the dinner.”

Sighing Paisley moved her head some to look over at Zoe and Mac who were going down the aisles, looking at Cd’s. “You really want to talk about this where they can hear?” she questioned as she lowered her voice slightly.

“No but maybe we can go somewhere private?” Avery asked as she eyed the door to the back. “Please.”

Again Paisley sighed before standing up, “If I get in trouble for this I am going to be even more pissed at you,” she stated which of course Avery suspected as much.

“I know you will be,” Avery told her as she followed her towards the back room and when they made it there, Avery crossed her arms. Looking at Paisley expectantly.

“I am upset okay,” Paisley told her as she finally began to talk. “And it has to do with Jeremy.”

Avery raised an eyebrow at that, “Jeremy? Really?” she asked almost wanting to laugh but she didn’t out of fear of making Paisley more upset. “But he’s gay and you know that. You’re friends with his boyfriend for god sakes,” she said with a shake of her head.

“I know he is and while I am upset with him it’s less to do with him and more to do with how well you fell into acting straight,” Paisley explained as she crossed her arms over her chest. “I kept thinking what if this is just a phase for you. What if one day you wake up and decide that hey I actually really like guys and this girl thing was just a phase and then I’m the one who is going to get hurt in the end.”

Frowning as she listened to Paisley, Avery moved to reach out for her. Her hand resting on Paisley’s cheek softly and she was comforted by the fact that Paisley didn’t pull away from her touch. Instead she leaned into it like maybe she needed Avery’s touch.

“It’s not a phase,” Avery told her honestly knowing now full well this wasn’t one for her. “I’m a lesbian Paisley and just because acting was so easy for me it doesn’t mean I am really secretly straight. Please trust me with that.”

Paisley chewed on her lip as she locked eyes with Avery and Avery could see the war inside of her. How she was trying to decide what she believed. “I want too,” she finally spoke and her voice was softer now. “God do I want too.”

“Then do,” Avery muttered as she leaned in even closer, leaving a peck on Paisley’s lips. “I’m a lesbian and I’m in love with you and I swear on my life I’m not going to wake up one day and realize different,” she spoke trying to reassure Paisley. “Please believe me babe,” she added on before resting her forehead against Paisley’s.

Paisley again chewed on her lip before a small smile appeared on her lips, “Okay,” she spoke and Avery knew just from her tone she felt like she was taking a big risk. “I believe you,” she stated her words making Avery smile as well.

Hoping that maybe this meant they were past this. They were past it and could move on and be happy again.

“Really?” Avery questioned just wanting to be sure.

“Really,” Paisley told her before leaning in and kissing her again and this time the kiss was longer than a peck and Avery let her eyes flutter shut.

Allowing herself to be happy that they were okay again and maybe even allowing herself to forget that her siblings were still somewhere in the record store. Which could be potentially bad since they were unattended and had a tendency to make a mess of things when left alone for too long.

But she really hoped that maybe they wouldn’t do that when she had so much trust in them. Maybe more trust than she should have had.

Biting down on Paisley’s lip when she felt Paisley push her against the wall, Avery let her arms go around Paisley tighter. A moan softly coming out as Paisley’s hand soon traveled up and under her shirt, creating goosebumps on her skin as it did so.

“My siblings,” Avery stated as she pulled away almost finally coming to her senses. “They’re going to get suspicious if I am gone for too long.”

Paisley pouted slightly at Avery’s words though she didn’t move any so that Avery could move. “Just a few more minutes,” she spoke in a pleading tone. “Give me a few more kisses,” she continued as her pout grew.

“You know I can’t say no to you,” Avery told her with a tiny smile before leaning in and kissing her again. Hating sometimes just how weak she was for the other girl.

Just like she hated how cocky that made Paisley.

“I know,” Paisley stated into the kiss. “Especially when I pout,” she muttered before smirking and kissing Avery a bit deeper.

Her tongue finding its way into Avery’s mouth and once again Avery let her eyes flutter shut as she got lost in the kiss. A part of her wishing they could have a bit longer together but she knew they couldn’t. She had her siblings with her and Paisley needed to get back to work.

Even if it was a slow day at work for Paisley.

Moaning again as Paisley’s hand went back under her shirt, Avery closed her eyes tighter. Wanting all the touches she could get from Paisley as possible. Not sure when she’d be able to get them again as after this Paisley went back to her own study hell.

Her final week of finals coming up soon and just like Avery she had been busy and hiding away from the world and Avery knew she’d be happy when Paisley’s finals were done because she’d get her girlfriend back and well also it’d be another step closer to the trip.

A trip they’d both be on together away from Tulsa and that in and of itself also made Avery happy. Feeling like she needed a vacation away from everything and everyone here in Tulsa. Felt like it would do her good for a bit.

When Paisley pulled away from the kiss Avery was the one who pouted this time even if she knew they needed to stop before things could progress and they were back here way too long.

“Better get back to your siblings and I need to get back to work,” Paisley reminded her as she finally moved away from Avery, adjusting her clothes some and Avery blushed before doing the same.

As well as fixing her hair because it had gotten messed up some too. After she felt like everything was fixed Avery left the back room first, followed by Paisley who went back to her spot behind the counter and Avery went back to her siblings both of whom just eyed her curiously.

“So did you kiss and makeup?” Mac asked curiously with a raised eyebrow and Avery blushed at his words.

“Something like that,” Avery told him hating how close to the truth he actually was. “But we’re fine now,” she nodded as she smiled wide. “You two ready or?”

“Nah we’re ready,” Mac said as he looked at the CD in his hands. “Just going to get this for Zoe and then we can go,” he told her and Avery smiled more as she watched Mac go pay for the CD.

Finding it a bit cute he was buying a CD for their younger sister but then again Zac had bought her Cd’s before. Had bought her the CD the Travis song was on that they had danced too that one day. Said she needed to get educated on good music.

Which she had but she’d never let Zac know that.
