Inn Love By Christmas ! [Canata]
Candace had never done the whole...hook up thing, really. Mostly because she had been in high school, fumbling through her sexuality with other girls (and a few boys) who were trying to figure it out too. It hadn’t been romantic or even cute. Just...necessary in its way.
And when she’d come to Swynlake, she had been a lot more focused on moping. Then there had been Ashlé, which had been sweet but then sour, like a sour patch kid. Also, she’d had a nice big house to hook up in. Also, it hadn’t been hooking up because they’d been dating.
It was better than a room at the Tipton and late night booty calls.
Not that the sex was bad. It wasn’t. Aquata was like a whirlwind. She blew in and she blew out and didn’t stay long. Candace felt like she didn’t really know her. Which was kind of weird to her. Not terrible...just weird. She wondered if Aquata even liked her or if it was just physical. The holidays were just around the corner and Candace was--wanting someone to cuddle with. Tis the season and all that.
She didn’t know how to bring that up, so everytime, Aquata slipped away like water and made Candace feel just a little more alone.
So, this time, she was determined as she slunk about the room, gathering up her clothes. She pulled her sweater over her head, curling her toes in her tights as she glanced around the room for her skirt.
“Uh, I’m kinda hungry,” Candace hedged, “you wanna--grab something to eat?”
