"I want the k."
5: Firm Kiss
It was dead quiet between the two females while they sat in Antoinette’s parlor room, one of the maids brought in some tea before she shooed them off. The blonde got up and walked after them and closed the doors to at least have some privacy between them. Marlena knew she was probably going to say something but, she stayed quiet all the same just pulling at the fabric. Letting her hair fall into her face.
"Marlena, you’re gonna’ have to look at me at some point," Antoinette said softly. Sitting across from her waiting for some kind of response. "Mar…"
Still there was some silence, she had given up and made the red head look at her.
There was some dark bruising on Marlena’s cheek bone, tinging towards yellow around the edges but it still looked new. “Damn it, Marlena he hit you again?”
"It’s my fault," The tiny red head tried to defend but it wasn’t going to work not this time.
"Mar, I care about you. You have to tell me these things so I can put him in his place, or I could help you out." Antoinette said softly and moved her nightgown slightly.
Tension building up, while they sat there just staring.
Soon after, Antoinette reached over and brushed a hand over the back of Marlena’s neck and pulled her close. Pressing her lips to hers firmly, careful not to press against the cheek since it probably hurt.
After a while, she pulled away. She probably had done something terrible but, it was the only way she could let her know how she felt. Her thumb and forefinger playing with the edges of red strands, “I care about you.”
