Lydia chuckled softly, turning to brush her lips across Mandy's cheek. "I'm happy to help," she said just as softly as the kiss had been. One last run of her fingers through Mandy's soft, dark hair and Lydia pulled away. No matter how good being close to her friend felt, she was afraid of making her feel awkward. That was the last thing she wanted. "You know, I do know quite a few closeted boys. We could actually go out on a double-date so it wouldn't be a lie... Just, they could go together and you and I could do with each other..."
Lydia let the question hang in the air to see how Mandy would take it. There was one of two ways that she could see... Either she'd think Lydia had asked her out (which she had, but shhh), or she'd think of it as practical alibi building.
