The Lesbian Study pt. 4 Joyce Evelyn Claire is laying on her bed reminiscing about the drastic change from coming from a small town to a big city, and the changes happening within her. Who knew she was into girls? Who knew she would fall in love with her new friend, Paula Lena Anderson, who wont give her the time of day. What is she learning from her interviews and experiences, and why in the hell is she so fixated on this woman. It was just then that Paula comes home. Joyce musters the courage to ask Paula, Is there something wrong with me? Paula embraces Joyce, Of course not, youre perfect. The most perfect person Ive met. Joyce pulls away and looks Paula in the eyes, searching for sincerity, searching for truth, You always acted like you had someplace better to be. That I was never good enough. Paula exclaims, thats not true! Joyce feels tears well up in her eyes, her blood pressure rise, she blurts out, Youve fucked everyone in this town but me! Paula is shocked, pulls away, and Joyce reaches her hand out apologetically, Im sorry.. that was too far. It was then that Paula knew. She was avoiding Joyce because she didnt want to confront her own feelings, but now the two women will inevitably collide. They stare into each others eyes, they kiss a magical kiss. Joyce is back at her laptop, The rest of the Summer unfolded perfectly. Paula still had trouble waking up in the morning, but now we woke up together wrapped in each others arms. I got an extension on my thesis, and then a transfer to a school nearby. Things were perfect.. and I hoped theyd stay that way forever
