Rabbit Hole Carnival: Damn if you do

“Just asked her, sweetheart.” Renee said. “At least then you tried.” She planted down a Shocking Apple right after.

“I guess, but… I'm just weird.” Amber said. “And what if she doesn’t like me anymore”
“What if who doesn’t like you anymore?” Samantha replied after she walked in.
“Oh, some random girl. You did and book at roughly time, so you mind me servering you both right?” Renee asked.

“Not at all, on my end.” Samantha said. “I hope Amber doesn’t mind?”

“No, of course not.” Amber said. “You come here often?”

“No, actually I remember you mentioning the place.” Samantha replied. “And sounds like a place I’d like, so I figured I’d stop by.” Samantha looked over the menu before Amber coughed.

“You um… probably like a Homesick.” Amber stared at her as she looked over the menu. “Kind of seems like your kind of drink.”

“You could  have come to me if it was making you this nervous.” Samantha replied. “Whoever this boy is, they'd be lucky to have you, you know!?

“Girl.” Renee replied. “And I'll be right back with that Homesick then?”

“Yes, one Homesick and one more what she’s having.” Samantha said. “And any girl would be lucky to have you then.”

“You… You think?” Amber asked.

“No, I know!” Samanthaantha asked. “What are you so nervous about? Any girl who can’t like you after you confess a few feelings. Isn’t worth it anyways,”

“So Samantha,” Renee put the drink down. “If some random dude, that you felt very close confessed his feelings to you?”

“I’d have to tell him  I'm lesbian but I’d appreciate the effort.” Samantha replied. “At least he tried, ya know? And hey, at least I made someone feel that way. Kind of like…”

“You can say it.” Renee said. “Kind of like how my uncle made me feel. Quite frankly the website was long overdue for an update.”
Samantha took a swig, and her eyes brightened a
bit. She down the whole thing and planted an empty mug. “I can be here to have another of those, right?”

Renee giggled, and took the mug to the back. Coming with a new one. “Yeah, of course. You pay for the spot. Do what you want with it.”

“Sam?” Amber asked. “You’re a…?

“Yeah I never mention it these days.” Samantha replied. “It's not hide it thing. I just got tired of repeating it over and over. And are you gonna take a swig of that?”

Amber finished the whole mug in one go, and took a deep breathe. “I… I was here because I wanted to ask you out, and the worried thing was because I was worried you’d hate me.”

 Renee grabbed the empty mug, and walked back behind the counter. Right after Sam slapped Amber. Glaring at her.

“Why would I hate you for that?! Think it through, Amber!” Samantha signed. “You make me laugh, you’re cute, you apparently just know what kind of drink I’d like. I couldn’t think of a more perfect girl to spend my life with.”

“I just… I didn’t wanna ruin something, ya know? And you never said you were… into that.” Amber replied.

“You could have asked too, ya know?” Samantha said. “But I'm glad you tried, and I guess we have our new date night spot~”

Both girls laughed, and Renee brought back a refill. Along with a few others. “Oh!... before I forget again.” Renee said. “We do have a package deal going.”
