Cars no longer use fossil fuel but electricity and water based energy. The air we breathe nowadays is fresh and clean. The earth is filled with trees and almost all cities, countries and lands have gardens on their homes and even on buildings or offices, structures or factories in the metro. Business establishments run through power from solar panels that most of the nations in the world cater to protect damaging our ozone layer and reverse the adverse effects of climate change. The earth hasn't been that all heated and because of the trees and forests. These precious greeneries kept the soil and grounds cooler, damper and healthier. The wildlife returned and human kind lived longer, wiser and responsible for their every action, decision over the planet and its future. I am one of these defenders, to care for the earth. By the way I am Victoria Marinea Montfort Francia, the third generation of the Montforts, the daughter of Shanti and grand daughter of Victory Wineralyn Pio Montfort, princess of St.Paul Vill of Castle Maximillian. A rising scientist at Harvard University.
I loved the countryside and I wonder how my friends are doing at the ranch. Dalia, Francesca and Thompson really made my childhood normal. Though I know that I am very different from them, I mean, as I was growing up, mom and dada supported me with my hobbies in experimenting, the hikes, travels and tours for science projects, discoveries and more. But the only thing that made me unique is the feeling that I like and admire girls more than boys. I grew up an only child so I didn't really know what I should act or feel if I am around girls or boys. Yet my friends made me feel so loved and accepted that no matter what or who I am I am, me, Marnie, funny, smart and cute. I know at a very young age that I am a lesbian and I love and respected people especially the girls, the women who I met, inspired me and I am friends with. One time, Dalia and Francesca did a sleep over at our mini cottage near the family ranch, which was the most fun nerve-wracking but amazing time I had in my entire childhood.
We were cuddling each other and taking photos with our automatic digital cam from when we wore our pajamas to eating our snacks of chocolate chip cookies and chocolate milk. We were all exhausted from the movie watching and chatting so my friends slept earlier. I, on the other hand, was unable to sleep and walked up the attic of the cottage where a medium sized telescope is placed already pointed out the window, where the stars in the horizon are seen and can be explored every night time. I held the contrapment and peeked through the lense. Wow!, there were so many stars tonight, I could literally see and touch them using my eyes. Suddenly I felt a hand touching my hair. I almost shouted and leaped on my seat, when Dalia covered my mouth with her hand and laughed whispering that I should keep quiet or Francesca would wake up. What are you doing, she asked me. I am looking at the stars, they are so beautiful, I said.
Then I motioned for Dalia to peer through the lense of the telescope and check out the beauty of the sky. Dalia did what I told her and smiled, looking at me after she saw the thousands of stars that were present in the sky that night. Dalia then moved closer to me and kissed my cheek. Then she smiled and kissed my lips like a smack. I got surprised that my eyes rolled and I held her arms away from me. Dalia, what, why? I asked the smiling girl. Then she replied with confidence and affection, Marnie, I like you and I am happy to see you all the time. Feel my heart, it's beating fast like it wants to leap out of my chest just kissing you, as Dalia pulled my hand and pressed it on her chest. I couldn't move and couldn't speak, well, it was the first time a girl confessed her feelings to me. I was thirteen at that time and I didn't know what to do, so, I just asked her. Why? Why do you like me?
Because you're beautiful and smart, funny and so talented. I love your wavy and silky hair and your, puffy lips…to kiss, Dalia added caressing my waves and my lips that were colder than usual since I am really nervous at this moment. I, don't what to say, Dal, but….
You don't need to say anything but just kiss me…Dalia asked and I kissed her gently. She held my body close to her and I am so close to her face that I can see her long eye lashes and eyes closed waiting for me to respond a return kiss. I never thought that kissing is a wonderful thing. I felt high and happy inside that Dalia's soft lips made me want them more. So I kissed her back. We tasted each other's mouths and out of the blue Dalia slid her hand inside my top and cupped my breast, which made me want to jump in surprise. Her hand was soft and careful which went down to my pants and…..We almost lost our steps when we heard Francesca call our names. Ah!, yup, we are just looking at the stars here at the attic. Go back to sleep, we're good here, Dalia shouted, then looked at me giggling.
She kissed my lips and hugged me then went down the attic to her bed. We were sleeping on one single bed and a double decker. I smiled at Dalia but still bewildered with what she did to me. My first kiss and experience was stolen from me by a girl, and it felt so good!. I went to my bed happy. When Dalia saw Francesca is already fallen back to sleep, she slid through my comforters and laid beside me. We cuddled all through-out the night and it was the best memory I had with Dalia until she and her family needed to move to the west coast and live with their relatives in New Mexico.
