In the Aftermath [private, after Oh MY]
By: Dominica Cruzas Date: September 17, 2012, 9:57 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Clothing was strewn through 2 rooms and the hallway. Somehow,
playful became way more than it had ever been, and impulse
became the name of the game. Two adults doing what adults did,
yet they were friends that didn't do that. At least not before.
Now, there was little denying that they did, they had and...wow.
Dominica laid flat on her back, body still buzzing faintly. The
sweat on her skin was beginning to cool, her breath had long
since evened out, and one hand remained flung out toward the
edge of the very big bed she swam in currently.
Dante's warm body was close, yet not too much so. She slid her
eyes to her right carefully, not really wanting to be caught
looking. She really did try to focus on the ceiling above her.
It didn't work.
Did that seriously just happen? I didn't realize... Dio, I hope
this doesn't completely fuck this friendship up. Does he want me
to go? Should I just get dressed as if nothing happened? Is this
all he wanted from me? Best goddamn sex you've ever had, and you
ended up in bed with a good friend. Smooth, Nica. Real smart.
Self destructive much?Fuck.

Hes in quite the similar state to her. His hair is a mess about
his pillow, which somehow mannaged to stay on the bed. He
pretends hes interested in the celing, occasionally glancing
over to her, trying and failing to be subtle. his mind raced.
Did we realy just... did i... i screwed up didnt i? what if she
hates me now?! i just changed everything! what was i thinking?
what does she think?... Should i say something? do something?...
I...

She'd never been this silent or this unsure after this sort of
act. Nor had she ever been in such a grey area. Any other
situation had been cut and dry. Either it had been just sex, and
casual. Or it had been expression in a relationship.
This...didn't feel like either thing.
The woman flipped herself to her stomach, her chin coming to
rest on her folded arms, indigo eyes looking straight ahead for
just a moment, before she slid her gaze to Dante. She caught his
eyes in hers, and simply looked. She couldn't imagine not being
able to meet eyes as they had in the past. It would just be a
sign of something they'd lost if she couldn't look him in the
eye.
Those nerves are there in that gaze, but so is that sheer
stubborness that made the woman meet every challenge head on.
All those questions and uncertainties aren't hidden, but bared
to him to be looked over. She had no idea what to say, or how to
start this. But she's certainly not running.

she had caught him as he was glancing to her again, and locked
his eyes in hers. In his head, that alone is a mile stone.
locked in her gaze, his head slowly turns till his eyes look
directly at her. like her, he wanted to speak. he was also at a
loss of words, however. his mouth opened just slightly, as if he
would speak, but no words would be released. his thoughts still
raced.

Her lips parted almost in the same fashion his did. There was a
certain amount of relief she found that they could still look at
one another. Her hair was a tangled nimbus around her head. She
finally bit the bullet, speaking with hesitation, softly.
"I...have no idea what I should be saying. What needs saying. I
just know something has to be said. Madre de Dios. I'm making a
mess of this." She groaned quietly, releasing his eyes to bury
her face in her arms.

Dante looked to her, not able to speak yet. he turned on his
stumach as she had, trying to think of something... anything to
say... anywhere to start...
"Ni..." he hesitantly brought his hand over to her, touching
her arm lightly. hes not sure what to say, but the last thing he
wants his for her to hide herself from him.

Ske kept her head on her arms, but turned it so that one of her
cobalt eyes looked at him. She gave a sigh, turining on her side
to face him, curling slightly. Her foot brushed his leg, almost
accidental. In all reality, she's testing the waters. Seeing if
he shied from that sort of touching. If he wanted no reminders
that they were laying in the aftermath of something shared.
She gritted her teeth, but steeled her spine. "Do you feel like
this changed anything between us? Is it going to affect our
friendship?" She veiled her eyes behind her lashes as she
murmured her last question. "Do you regret this?"

He flinched just slightly at her touch, but he didnt move away.
he doesnt want to move from her. "Ni... I could only regret it
if does change us." he moves alittle closer to her, just so his
face is closer to hers. "only regret if it stops us from being
together as we've been. if it brings you away from me..."

That flinching is noted. It gave the answer she'd been looking
for. Her foot carefully, surreptitiously moved away from his
leg, tucked against her own body. He scooted closer, and she
barely supressed the automatic urge to follow his first
reaction. To keep the distance between them.
Lashes still lowered while he spoke, she listened quietly to
what he said. It took her long moments before she gave her own
opinion. Still, she kept those indigo eyes hidden. "I don't want
things to change, and I don't want us to act differently with
one another. I suppose the next question is this. Does this
shift anything for us? Do we keep things this way, or do we
pretend we didn't do this?" She gestured to her bare form.

Dante is silent for a moment. Slowly, he crept abit closer to
her, his hand moving to lay on her back, though still hesitant
to go completely around her.
"I... dont think we can just ignore that this happened... And i
dont think i want to." He finaly answers softly. "I dont want
things to change between us... but I enjoyed being with you.
This was..." he stoped. a word for it was difficult to find, but
the point was clear.
