“But I’m happy we chose my bed.” Ellie leans further back into the display of pillows to find the most comfortable spot. When Ellie was away she knew that it was a matter of convenience, her feelings for Theo. Their close proximity and opposite sex had made her crave his attention. She knows this isn’t a good idea. But a final hurrah? Whatever it was, she knew that things were going to be different once they parted from this apartment and their lease. And maybe the fact that his body is relaying all of its heat on to her. She feels tingles in her finger tips and stomach. The warmth making her morals cease to exist. Her eyes find his lips for what seems like the millionth time. She leans towards his face and her lips drop on top of his. Ellie pulls back instantly, a spark of fear hitting her stomach.“That. I wanted to be bad and do that..but maybe I shouldn’t have…” Her heart is pounding as she exhales, knowing that was wrong. And that it had potential for him to hate. “Look, I know we’re nothing and won’t be anything besides friends. It just felt..I don’t know..right in the moment. I’m sorry,” Ellie’s voice trails off. “Don’t hate me.” (Sorry for my late response, last week was the worst week of my life lol)

"Me too." Quiet falls between them and where it was once a comfortable kind of silence they shared, lately it had been loaded with tension. Whether that tension was sexual or awkward was hard to read, but the heat radiating between them made Theo's head feel light. From the moment he'd first met Elyse the physical attraction had been overpowering, everything about the girl screaming fullness, ripeness, her curves, her lips, her sensuality. He had tried to hide it but it was obvious that his eyes poured over her, so obvious that Cleo had called him out on it more than once. As always, his eyes have fallen to her lips and before he knows what's happening they are kissing, so quickly that he's not even sure who initiated it. Just as suddenly she's pulled away and she's talking, though he's transfixed by her still, his hand finding its way to her hip and pulling her against him as he leans in to kiss her again, more deeply than she'd kissed him. "Shh," he murmurs against her lips, "we're not nothing."
