Later, what Kaitlyn found truly confusing was how comfortable she felt around Victoria, even when she made herself look so vulnerable in front of her. Hell, she was even crying! If it was anyone else at Xaviers’, she might have died of shame.

“Victoria,” Kaitlyn began, “I know it’s dumb that I haven’t said this yet, but… I love you.”

The closeness that had formed between the two girls was both surprising as well as comforting to Victoria. She was so glad to have found someone she could be open with and feel relaxed. So when Kait said she loved Victoria it made the little vampire smile even more. It felt like more than a friendship. This was something special.

Squeezing Kait’s hand gently and staring back with still glowing red eyes Victoria gave a sweet kiss. “I love you too Kait.” Smiling from ear to ear she stared happily at the red haired girl…until something poped in to her head and brought with it a slightly confused expression.

Tilting her head just a bit Victoria asked softly. “Kait? Umm…does this mean we’re girlfriends?”

The question made Kaitlyn’s face light up.

“That sounds about right.” She pecked the other girl on the cheek.
