『🔧』 Idiot. Idiot, idiot, idiot. What was that?!
There was no possible excuse she could make for herself here. The only correct thing she could possibly think to do was to play it off, to tell her it meant nothing, that she just got carried away. Hey, just chill out about it, it didn’t have to mean anything between them. It didn’t mean anything. Let’s just carry on. But, who was she kidding? Lying never was her strong suit - and in the silence that flooded the room in the instant following the parting of their lips, every blush and blemish on her face, that unique spark in her firelike eyes A traitorous testament to her true feelings, laid bare for her to gaze at. The only thing that wasn’t totally bare was Leah, which was a damn shame.
She expected anything else but what she got. A ‘get out’, or a ‘forget it’, or maybe even a ‘don’t come around here any more’. A brain once focused only on the sweet and simple pleasures that they shared in on these bedsheets together now plagued itself with the potential for catastrophe; yet, all of it dispersed with her words. An invitation.
Any protest she might have wanted to form fails to escape her - half-formed utterances of hesitation; “Um, well-... y- you’re not- I mean... we can, uh-”
See? It worked out after all. You’d be a fool to turn her down.
You already have the perfect words to say in this situation.
The next instant crawls by at a snail’s pace the second she presses her lips to Leah’s again. Gingerly, her eyelids close, she embraces the warmth welling in her chest, as she wanted to just moments before. Each hand finds its place on her sides, just near the middle of her chest - inching her body closer and closer, and the tongue that slips ever so slightly, ever so gently across her lips speaks of the greed, the want behind what she was doing; all of this punctuated with the gentle pressure of teeth to her bottom lip as she pulls away.
She doesn’t even want to open her eyes. Not even she knows if it’s out of anticipation, or out of fear that she relents; all she can do is remain close... and wait.
