Hearing her name being called awakened two things inside Ivy. The major rush she had from this moemnt and how much farther she anted it to go, and her rational thinking that they needed to slow down. The movie was almost over, and they still had some snacks left over. Ivy began to pull away from Dylan still locking eyes with her. “I like you,” she she said her voice low enough for only Dylan to hear her, “we don’t have to label anything until you know what you want from us and everything.” she shrugged, “but know I like you and I want this.” She squeezed Dylan’s hands tightly and reached for some of the popcorn that ws almost gone.

Dylan felt bad that none of her attention had been placed on the movie consistently playing in the background, but at the same time her focus was on something better. Her breathing settled as their lips parter, allowing herself to take a moment as Ivy spoke. She swore she felt butterflies erupt in her stomach at her words, not able to hold back the smile on her lips. “Oh you do huh?” she teased, biting down hard on her lower lip, allowing Ivy to finish her thoughts. “I.. I like you too.. I don’t want to mess any of this up.. but I would like that.. I want to take my time with you.. I want to get to know you and whatever this ends up being.” Dylan replied honestly, holding onto Ivy’s hands with a blush touching her cheeks. “I just need some time to figure this out.. I’m not used to this.” she said, her hand still holding tight onto the girls. “To be honest you got me wrapped around your goddamn finger. I’m sure about that.” she giggled softly, her head ducking.

Ivy nodded, not sure how to respond to that statement. She knew she didn’t want to stop either but she was afraid to go forward. She didn’t want to put down the gas pedal towards whatever it was in case Dylan decided to jump out of the car, metaphorically of course. Instead of answering she leaned in for a second kiss. Normally being the one who starts these kinds of things, the first kiss had caught her completely off guard, but she was in the zone now. Her lips met Dylan’s and moved with complete precision. Her hands finding their way through the brunette’s hair and cupping the back of her head pulling them as close as they could be.

The way that Ivy made Dylan feel was indescribable. It was a mix between nervous and excited, unable to place her emotions made her weak. Her heart was racing, unsure of how Ivy would feel about her words but clearly it was getting her somewhere. She didn’t pull away when Ivy drew close, her heart leaping as their lips touched once more, her own hand falling to the girl’s lap as she leaned closer, kissing back just as hard. No part of her wanted to run, no part of her wanted to leave this moment. “Iv..” she breathed against their lips, not knowing exactly what she was begging for. 

She shook her head, still very much flushed from the impeccable kiss. “Don’t apologize for that. Ever.” She sat there trying to wrap her head around all that was happening. “You have been waiting to do that? For how long?” Dylan completely confused Ivy and Ivy completely confused Dylan. Clearly they needed to air some stuff out and find a direction they were both going in. Whichever direction that was, Ivy hoped there was going to be more kisses like that.

Dylan couldn’t help bet let out a soft giggle at Ivy’s words, a blush catching her cheeks as she leaned on her hand, her eyes fixated on the girl as she bit her lip. “Since I stupidly ran away from you during the carnival” she admitted. She was honest, she had been wanting to come to terms that in by no means was she straight but also felt something for the girl in the car beside her. Dylan let her hand reach back up, brushing through Ivy’s hair, her fingertips brushing against her scalp. “I don’t know what this is.. but I sure as hell don’t want it to stop..” she breathed.

Ivy pushed toward the girl in her last couple inches, not expecting Dylan to be the one to make a move. Not that she was complaining. They pushed their lips together and Ivy fully getting into the kiss. It was full of emotion and passion and nothing that she was expecting coming from Dylan. But she loved it. A few moments of their lips intertwining and Ivy pulled back. She was alsmot speechless, the only thing that kiss left her with was, “Wow.”

Maybe it was the wine, maybe it was the way Dylan was so impatient to finally suck it up and make a move.. regardless she was very content with the idea of kissing Ivy. The brunette allowed her hand to reach up, cupping the girl’s cheek as she deepened the kiss, her heart beating hard against her chest as she leaned in further, threatening to cross the center console to close the gap. Though the newfound separation occurred, a soft sigh escaping her lips. “I’m sorry.. i’ve been... waiting to do that.” she whispered, her eyes fluttering open to find the blonde’s. 

As the cult classic movie played before the two, Ivy was very much aware of the brunette sitting in the passenger seat. She hardly watched the film wanting to see if Dylan was enjoying herself or giving her anymore signs of progress between the two. They shared some snack, Ivy always offering whatever she was munching on. Part way through the film, Ivy drapped her arm across Dylan’s chair back. Her thumb started to stroke her shoulder innocently but with intent.

Dylan attempted to watch the film, she didn’t want Ivy to think she wasn’t having a good time. She kept up with most of it, her thoughts still consumed about the girl beside her however. She enjoyed her wine, able to admit she had a buzz flowing through her body. The snacks were also a plus, everything in the basket being something Dylan loved. When Ivy’s arm wrapped around her seat she could have sworn she felt her heart skip, the nerves beginning to build back up in her. She wouldn’t run this time. She swore she felt electricity in the gentle strokes against her shoulder, deciding it was now or never. “Thank you, again for bringing me.. I don’t think i’ve had this much fun in a while.” she admitted, turning her body to face the girl, completely ignoring the film as her hand fell on the girl’s thigh, leaning forward a bit before taking a risk and closing the distance completely, pressing her lips to Ivy’s in a slow yet passionate kiss.

The responses coming from the brunette really shocked Ivy, she didn’t think she was ready to cross those lines with Ivy yet. But Ivy wasn’t going to take steps back. She started to lean in to Dylan when the move started and the music started to blare through the speakers next to the car. She signed a little leaning back into her seat. “Have you seen this movie?” she asked as it started to roll the title sequence.

Dylan couldn’t quite place where her newfound confidence came from. She wet her lips, almost able to cross the space between them, letting out a sigh when the movie began. She moved back to her original spot and took a moment to recall her memory of the moving, shaking her head. “I don’t think I have.. but I have high hopes you chose something worthwhile..” she smiled at Ivy. She didn’t care what was playing on the screen, she enjoyed the company she was receiving and the attention she had been lacking.

Ivy lounged in her seat, having pulled it back and gotten comfortable. She turned to face the girl, “You can teach me anything you want,” the phrase had come out with a lot of hidden meaning behind it and Ivy wasn’t even mad about it. “I’m good at plenty of things. Standing up for others,  making my voice heard. I have killer dance moves. I actually know how to sew. And there are plently of other things I’m very good at, if you ever want to find out about them.” She winked. 

“I feel like you’re the one who needs to teach me a thing or two.” Dylan smirked playfully, her words very playful, not a care in the world at this point. She listened to Ivy speak, a flutter in her heart sparking as she listened to how passionate she was about her career aspirations. “You impress me every day Ivy.. yes I do know your dance moves.. very impressive.” she purred, her hand falling on the other girl’s thigh as she spoke. “Oh yeah? Well I think you should show me just exactly what you’re talking about.. I wouldn’t be opposed..” she replied, biting down on her lower lip.
