" who did this to you? " - oriaes
she’s humming along quietly with the soft 70s music she has playing while she cooks breakfast. she still feels a bit sore -- but she doesn’t mind. she places a strawberry between her teeth and sinks into it, as she listens to the sound of him leaving her room. she feels like she can hear each step he takes -- and it causes butterflies to erupt into a swarm in her belly.
she hears a soft yawn behind her, before strong arms are wrapping around her torso. she giggles softly, as one hand moves to rest against his. she opens her mouth to speak, but stops when his fingers grip against her wrist. he pulls her arm softly, spinning her around in the process.
eyebrow furrow as he speaks his question : who did this to you ? ( she doesn’t have to wonder if her confusion is evident. ) he holds her arm up to her eyes, showcasing the soft -- already beginning to fade -- bruises dusting her skin. her eyes return to him, her head tilting to the side as she studies his face. ( he really doesn’t know ? )
“you did that to me.” she brings her free hand to his, wrapping around where his fingers enclose her wrist. “don’t worry -- they don’t hurt. i like them.” she pulls softly against his hand, waiting until they’re chest to chest, before she’s leaning on her toes and pressing a deep kiss against his lips. when she finally pulls away, she pushes herself even higher, until her lips are next to his ear, where she whispers. “i like the ones on my legs even more.”
she offers a soft pat to his shoulder, before she’s dropping back onto her heels. “ -- d’you want coffee this morning ?” she spins, her hair flowing with her, as she returns to her cooking.
