*Lizzie was enjoying that thing Alex was doing with her hand so much that it took her a moment to realize her error. Her eyes widened and her blush deepened.*
"Oh--no...I mean, not like that. Except well, kinda."
*She tried to backpedal quickly.*
"I just...was so messed up 'bout things and he wanted to help. And so, I tried...with a boy. You know. But he was the one that's been tryin' to get me to overlook the girl bits. I don't think that..."
*She chewed her lip.*
"...that he wants to court me."

*Alex laughed, not a soft, gentle chuckle this time but an outright hoot.*
"I'm sorry, Lizzie." *She remembered the last time she'd laughed at her.* "I'm sorry; I'm not laughing at you. I see your line of reasoning. You're a scientist at heart, then? Oh poor Lizzie, what I've put you through! I am sorry; I hope you enjoyed it, at least a little."

"Well, uh..."
*Lizzie looked up hesitantly, unsure if it was proper to confess such things in this sort of situation. Alex's laughter didn't help.*
"Enough. Enough to think that when I kissed 'ya at Rochester's, I wouldn't feel..."
*She shrugged as her eyes fell.*
"...what I did."

*Alex placed a finger under Lizzie's chin, to lift the girl's eyes to her own.*
"I am sorry, Lizzie. For laughing, too. You see... I've been through this, as well. I just recognize myself in you. It's natural to have doubts, of course. This goes against everything you've been taught to believe. But it's not an either/or, you know. You don't have to like one thing or the other. Some people like... say, snails. And some like oysters. But there's no rule anywhere says you can't like both."

*Lizzie lifted her face, confusion twisted it up.*
"So...wait, what? Are you the snail or the oyster?"
*She couldn't appreciate at the time that at least she wasn't worried about the making out or the girl thing.*

"It doesn't matter; all that matters is that, to carry an ungainly metaphor, you like them both. Wouldn't you say that?"

"But I ain't never..."
*The metaphor part of the statement finally caught up with Lizzie and she blushed anew. Her voice lowered as she leaned towards Alex.*
"To be honest...I ain't sure I'm ready to think about wantin' both. One that's girl-shaped seems complicated enough at the moment."

*Alex grinned.*
"Not asking you to. I was only trying to prove that it's not so unusual to... well, to take a liking to two different things. But I'm fine with you complicating yourself with my girl-shape."

*Lizzie smiled brighter and leaned her lips closer to Alex's.*
"So...we can...I mean, 'ya don't mind...complicatin' me?"
*She wet her lips subconsciously.*

*Alex's delight was ignited anew.*
"On the contrary, Lizzie. I would very much like to complicate you."
*She leaned in and took those moist lips with her own.*

*Lizzie moaned against her mouth, eyes fluttering shut as she let her fingers lace through Alex's hair. She pulled her closer timidly. She tried to slow herself, to enjoy the moment without racing to the next or worrying what it would bring. But it was hard, you know?*

((I like how even Lizzie's narration is confused.))
*Alex concentrated on letting Lizzie enjoy it, enjoy her. She didn't want to pressure the girl; she figured it was enough just to be kissing another woman. And Alex was in no hurry at all to get anywhere in particular; there was a certain charm in being a girl's first experiment. So she'd let Lizzie call the shots; though she let her hands stray, a little, to brush her neck or cup the back of her head.*

((I'm glad you appreciate it. Well, I try to give each character their own way of thinking, but really, Lizzie is the only one that's really obvious. Oh well.))
*Lizzie found herself leaning into Alex's touch, for behind her closed lips, it was easy to just be with Alex and not with a girl with girl parts that were...complicated. Even so her own hands started to wander as well, touching her face, her neck...her shoulders. She seemed to instinctively avoid any gender-specific regions, although she didn't mean to.*

((No, I know what you mean. I do that too. It's not bad to do it subtly, you know.))
*Maybe Lizzie never would come to see Alex as... well, in that way. Maybe the girl parts were just too much. Oh, but it certainly was nice now! She could ignore what Lizzie ignored, and concentrate on making the girl both more confused and less. At any rate, on making her feel good.
Wanted.
Alex sighed, and shifted so that her lips brushed the side of Lizzie's face; an invitation to the girl to kiss her neck, her anything.*

*With the sudden absence of lips to kiss, Lizzie was stunned for a moment, but then bent her head to kiss the skin of her neck that was offered. The collar of her shirt was causing a problem so she moved her hand towards the buttons, just to loosen a few, for more skin. She inadvertently bumped Alex's chest and instinctively withdrew, her face lowered shyly and her lip between her teeth.*
"I uh....sorry bout that...guess I ain't to good at this sort of thing after all."
