“Then don’t worry about it,” Mina said with just a hint of embarrassment at Juliette’s teasing, pressing her lips together to keep from smiling before leaning down to press a kiss to the side of Juliette’s face. She assumed that was okay considering that they’d spent the night in the same bed instead of having some quick affair that resulted in someone needing a cab home in the middle of the night, but Mina wasn’t exactly up to date on her one night stand etiquette.
Straightening back up, she pushed her hair back and found herself wishing for a brush or maybe a hair tie, something to hide the fact she had sex hair, but that was likely all part of the look that went with doing the walk of shame. She could always ask to use a brush before she left, Minerva knew, and the words tangled together on her tongue with the farewell she knew she should give, leaving Mina to silently fumble with words as she stared at sleep rumpled Juliette, thinking about how warm her body had been beneath the sheets.
“We could go out for breakfast,” She ended up blurting out, heat threatening to stain her cheeks because that wasn’t what she’d meant to say at all and Mina had no idea where it came from. Sucking in a breath, she began to backtrack and explain herself as logically as possible, downplaying her outburst and hoping she didn’t sound like she was trying to make the night into more than it was. “Later on, when you feel like moving. I can leave my number and it will be a rain check, if you ever want to cash it in.”
Truth was, Juliette only had to roll over, grab the phone at the side of her bed, and call up room service, but she was beyond comfortable in her current position, and she truly was thoroughly exhausted after the night’s... exercise. So Juliette just cracked an eye open when she felt soft lips against her cheek, and a soft smile bloomed on her features. She didn’t say anything, mostly because she fully expected the other to be out the door without any further ado, so her eye closed once more, and she breathed out contentedly.
She didn’t pay much attention to what went on around her beyond that. Juliette, unlike Mina, was somewhat practised in the art of one night stands, and she felt fairly comfortable even the morning after. Especially with women. Men, she was just a little less trusting of. Then again, men mostly left right after the fact. That Mina had stayed wasn’t completely out of the ordinary, but it’d been nice. Juliette was, admittedly, a sucker for cuddles.
Both eyes popped right open with Mina’s following suggestion, however, and Juliette’s gaze had landed on the other blonde before the end of the next second. That was out of the ordinary, and it roused Juliette from her blissfully oblivious state. “Really?” Her tone was more disbelieving than anything else. She blinked the worst of the sleep out of her eyes before lifting a hand to wipe away the rest. Then she sat up, not bothering to cover her naked chest as she did. “You don’t do this a lot, do you?”
