[left[pic http://i.imgur.com/clVetc8.jpg]] For as long as Auden could remember, she knew she was different than most kids. Growing up in a single parent home, knowing she had feelings she had for both genders; made her childhood nothing but rocky. It took her mom almost a full year before she finally accepted her daughter for the way she was, and that made Auden stay far away from the dating pool. The only person besides her who knew this was her best friend. Auden had confined in Seraphina about everything. The girl knew the ins and outs of her life, except one thing. The fact that Auden loved Seraphina, and not just as a friend. She wanted to be with her, to kiss her, show her what it was like to be loved unconditionally and she wanted it for herself too. She hadn’t told her friend any of this...until today.

Today was the day. The day she would finally tell her best friend how she felt about her.

Auden Mae wanted to make this special, as if she was asking her to be her girlfriend, or to at least give her a chance. The two lived together, and she had asked if Seraphina wanted to spend their day together. The girl woke up earlier than usual, hoping right into the shower. She made sure to take her time, and did a short skin care routine as well. The woman wrapped a fluffy towel around her body as she stepped out from her bathroom, making her way to her closet to find her outfit for the day.

A black sweater with a pair of skinny jeans seemed to be the best option, with the weather outside getting colder each day. She paired that with a pair of old combat boots and left her hair down to air dry in it’s usually straight fashion. Auden and Seraphina had always been so close, yet so different on the outside. While Seraphine seemed to float on a cloud, Auden was hard on the ground. But the connection the two had was so unreal, such a strong and unbreakable bond. Auden just hoped they could last through this as well.

Even after waking up early, Auden still knew it was too early to wake up Seraphina, even if it was a weekend. The girl being a teacher, she tried to let her sleep in on the weekends to allow her to make up for the early days she spent being up for her students. As a photographer, she usually had the luxury to sleep in, considering she was even doing afternoon shoots or shooting for the local concerts that night. She decided on making a cup of tea, hoping it would calm her nerves and ease her rapid heartbeat she had just from thinking about this day, all the plans she had to make it memorable. Lunch at their favorite restaurant and a walk in the park, where she planned on telling Seraphina her secret. She had been planning on setting up a secret camera to capture the moment, hoping it was something the two could look back on someday.

Auden bounced around the apartment finding random things to do; dishes, laundry, the necessities of apartment life. She finally decided that it was time to wake her friend up, an option if coffee and tea in each hand. She never could remember what her friend preferred, so she would typically bring both to her bedside. [#75abba “Good morning! Coffee or tea today?”] she asked softly, not wanting to startle the woman. She looked so beautiful in the morning, but she looked beautiful all the time to her. [#75abba “You ready for the dat- day I planned for us? Lunch at our favorite restaurant and a walk in the park during fall?”] she smiled toward the woman still in bed, hoping soon she would be joining her there.

[font "times new roman" Seraphina had been up late into the night talking to Luca. She'd been seeing the male for the last couple of weeks, and she had hoped he would finally ask her to be his girlfriend. When he hadn't, she then told him she had to get to bed because it was late, and she had plans with Auden the next day. At first he had begged her to stay on the phone longer, but she had cut him off with a yawn, and he then hung up on her without another word. That seemed to hurt more than she thought it should have.]

[font "times new roman" Her body had woken her up around her normal time, but she had pretty much forced herself to get some more sleep. She would be having a long day ahead of her, and she didn't want to be a crabby bitch. When she heard Auden's voice she let out a small moan, and pulled her pillow over her head. [#cc6699 "It's too early for this"] came the muffled reply. She knew her best friend was only doing it because they had plans for the day. When she heard the word coffee, she peeked out from under the pillow, a small smile on her face.]

[font "times new roman" She pushed herself up and placed the pillow behind her. [#cc6699 "I'll take the coffee please. I know I'll have to get another one while we are out and about today"] she said taking one of the mugs. She wrapped her fingers around the mug, and lifted it to her lips. The bitter taste hit her tongue and she was more awake than about thirty seconds ago. She could tell the other was really excited about today, and she couldn't help but wonder why she was doing this. She made a mental note to ask her about it later.]

[font "times new roman" [#cc6699 "Since I've had the first sip of coffee, I need a shower, and then I'll be ready to go. Give me about twenty to thirty minutes"] she said as she shooed the woman out of her room. When the other was gone, she took another sip of the coffee, and she climbed out of bed. She walked over to her closet and opened the doors. She looked at the choices inside, and found a pair of black leggings, and her maroon colored sweater dress. She then found her favorite Ugg boots as well, and pulled all of them out.]

[font "times new roman" She walked to her dresser and pulled out a pair of clean panties, and a matching bra. She then made her way to the bathroom and placed the coffee mug onto the counter. She stripped out of her sleeping clothes, and climbed into the shower. She hurried and washed her hair and body, and then shut the water off a little bit later. She dried herself off the best she could, and then pulled on her panties and bra. She walked out of the bathroom the steam following behind her. [#cc6699 "Almost ready!"] she called out as she went into her room a second later.]

[font "times new roman" She pulled on the leggings, and then the dress. She sat on the edge of her unmade bed and slid her boots onto her feet. She went back into the bathroom pulled her hair up into a messy bun, and brushed her teeth. She applied a little bit of makeup, and was finally ready to go. She went back to her room and grabbed her wallet, phone, car keys, and apartment keys. She went and found her best friend and smiled. [#cc6699 "Sorry it took a little longer than normal. Are we taking your car, or mine?"] she asked. She didn't mind either way, but still needed to know.]

Auden took her spot on the couch as she waited for Seraphina to be ready to go. She kept the cup of tea that Seraphine rejected, needing the extra caffeine and the extra calming effects to help her body. This day was so important to her, she couldn’t get into her nerves like she did when she was nervous. She had to be confident and strong, as she always pretended to be. The only one who had ever seen her nervous and anxious was Seraphina, but today was not the day for that. This was the day for Auden to release the one secret she had kept from her best friend.

As Seraphina ran from the bathroom to her room in just her bra and panties, Auden almost spit out her tea. Was she trying to tease her? She knew that was not true, as her friend had no idea of the massive crush she had on her. It was a nice sight, but it surprised her so much her face heated up to a light pink color. She was happy the girl ran into her room so she didn’t see the blush cover Auden’s cheeks. While Auden had the time, she decided to add a touch of makeup to her face.

Auden didn’t do makeup all too often, but she did when it was a special occasion, and today was special. She did a light layer of foundation, some contour, a light brown eyeshadow, and finished off with some mascara and eyeliner. Not enough to change her too much, just to accentuate her features, such as her bright blue eyes and high cheekbones. As she exited her room, so did Seraphina. She looked absolutely stunning. [#75abba “Ugh! How do you always manage to look [i so] good!”] Auden smiled, walking over to her best friend.

[#75abba “Oh, I’ll drive. Don’t worry about anything! I got everything covered. We are a bit early for lunch, you want to go to the coffeeshop first?”] she asked, heading out of their apartment, locking the door behind her. They headed down to where their cars were parked, getting into Auden’s grey Honda accord and heading toward the coffee shop. She was able to find a parking spot on the street in front of the coffee shop, shutting off her car. They entered inside, and Auden started to look at the menu. She wasn’t a huge coffee drinker, so she wanted to find a tea or some type of drink instead. She was about to say something to Seraphina until another voice was saying her name. [#1fa13b “Well well well, hello Seraphina.”]

Luca threw his phone to the other side of his queen-sized bed. [i Man, she couldn’t even stay awake a little longer to talk to me. I was just planning on asking her to be my girlfriend. Ungrateful little…] the male thought. He pulled off his shirt and placed it in his clothes bin along with his jeans from the workday and pulled on a pair of sweatpants for the night. Why did she care so much about hanging with her roommate, they see each other every day?

Luca ended up going to bed a bit upset at the woman he had hung up with, but she would be his soon enough. He spent a lot of time wooing her, he wouldn’t let that time be wasted.

As the man woke up, he looked at his phone and had no message from Seraphina. He rolled his eyes, getting up to get some coffee. He made a hot cup of coffee and grabbed his phone to message his best friend, Gavin. Gavin had been his best friend for years and was always on the same page as he was. He had been holding back a bit with Seraphina from Gavin but decided to show her off a bit today, as she would soon be his property. They planned to meet at the coffee shop close to their apartments, as Luca knew he needed more coffee and soon. He quickly dressed in a white shirt, dark wash jeans, and his leather jacket. He ran his hand through his vaguely curly hair before heading out the door and walking down to the shop.

Luca had been a man’s man his whole life, being raised by a military father and a distant mother. His mother was in and out of the hospital and died at a young age. When his father remarried a few years later, his stepmom was the epitome of a housewife. She didn’t work, but stayed home and took care of the home and Luca and his brothers. His father showed him that a girl is yours to protect and keep safe. Luca had taken the things he learned from his father and from his ways as a bachelor and molded them into how he treated women. They were his property and he should know where they were always, but they should also make sure he was happy, not upset him with their thoughts or feelings.

Luca entered the coffee shop, ordering a large black coffee, slipping a wink to the cashier who blushed wildly and even gave him a discount on his coffee. He sat down, scanning through Seraphina’s social media, seeing if he could find out where she was headed today with her ‘roommate’, hoping she wasn’t lying and actually out with another guy. He greeted Gavin when he entered, letting the male get his own drink before joining him. [#1fa13b “Look, this is gonna be my girl soon.”] he showed Gavin a picture of Seraphina, looking back down at it. As the bell to the door rang, he let a smile creep on his lips as Seraphina and another woman entered the coffee shop. [#1fa13b “Well well well, hello Seraphina.”] he smiled cooly, running a hand through his hair as he approached the women.

[font "times new roman" A small smile passed over the woman's lips as Auden told her she had everything covered. She made sure she had everything, and rolled her eyes. [#cc6699 "Please, it's nothing special. Just an old favorite present you got me"] she said slowly spinning a bit. Auden had gotten her the sweater dress the year before last for Christmas, and she was surprised it still fit. She's been waiting all year for it to get cooler so she could crack it out. Today was the perfect day for that too. She hooked her arm with the other's as they made their way out to the car.]

[font "times new roman" [#cc6699 "I know you aren't gonna tell me. But will you please tell me a little about what else you have planned? It feels like you've been on edge all week, and I don't like it"] she said with a small pout. She knew it would be useless, but at least she would try. She slipped into the passenger seat, and shut the door behind her. She buckled herself in and pulled her phone out of her pocket. Yes the dress had a pocket, and she loved it. She noticed that Luca hadn't said a single word to her since last night. She wasn't about to be the one to break the silence either.]

[font "times new roman" In all honesty, he had acted like a total child because she had needed to go to bed. Maybe it was a bad idea to even consider talking to him still. She shoved those thoughts aside as she slid her phone back into her pocket. [#cc6699 "So, I have an idea. I say we shut our phones off for the day. Like fully off. No vibration, nothing. Screen's are black, and stay that way until we get home tonight"] she said with a grin. It would piss Luca off to no end, but she didn't care. It wasn't like they were dating or anything.]

[font "times new roman" Just thinking about that made her heart break a bit. Could she really keep her phone off all day? She's done it before, but not with someone she's been really interested in for a while. She shoved those thoughts aside as she looked out the window and fell silent. She watched as the trees and houses went by, as they made their way to the coffee shop. She was getting more and more excited for their girl's day. She couldn't wait to see what Auden had fully planned either.]

[font "times new roman" When they pulled into the parking lot, and Auden had parked the car, they both went inside. The smell hit her nose and her mouth watered. This was her favorite place in the world, and she started looking at the menu to see if they had anything new. That's when she heard her name, and her eyes moved towards the sound. Her heart about stopped beating when she saw Luca standing there. [#cc6699 "Luca? What are you doing here?"] she breathed out. Shit.. this wasn't a good start to her day.]

[right [pic https://i.imgur.com/yFqrk0I.jpg]]

[font "times new roman" The morning dawned brightly for the male. He had a red head asleep in his bed next to him, and he couldn't help but wonder if she'd be up for another round before he kicked her out. He shrugged a bit as he was about to wake her up, but then his phone went off. He reached for it and saw that Luca had messaged him. He wanted to meet up. Perfect. He had a real reason to kick the woman out of his bed. He rolled out of bed, walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of clean boxers and slid them on. He then moved back to the bed, grabbed the mattress and lifted it.]

[font "times new roman" He smirked when he heard the woman gasp as she rolled out of bed, and landed on the floor with a thud. [b "What the flying fuck was that for?!"] she yelled at him. Gavin shrugged a bit and smirked placing the mattress down. [#D1B419 "It's my way of telling you to get the fuck out. I have shit to do, and I don't wanna see your face again"] he said. That seemed to piss the woman off, but he didn't care. He pointed at her things, and she got the hint right away. [b "Asshole"] she breathed out.]

[font "times new roman" The male shrugged and helped her gather up her things. She was then on her way about fifteen minutes later. He took a quick shower, then got ready for the day. He was starving, and hoped that Luca wouldn't mind if he ate while they were there. He made sure he had everything before he made his way to his beat up truck, started it up and pulled out of the parking lot. The night before had been fun, but he wasn't in the mood to do it all over again. In all honesty, he was ready to settle down with someone.]

[font "times new roman" As he was thinking about it, he realized the coffee shop was in view. He parked the truck, climbed out and went inside. He went right up to the counter and placed an order. [#D1B419 "I'd like a ham and egg sandwich, along with your biggest black coffee"] he said. The woman behind the counter nodded and went about getting his order done. He paid, and moved over to a table. Not shortly after Luca walked up to him, and he smirked a bit. He looked at the picture of the woman, and let out a whistle.]

[font "times new roman" [#D1B419 "Damn dude, she's beautiful. You are pretty damn lucky you snagged that one. I'm surprised you haven't already asked her to be your girl yet. Normally you would have done that by now"] he said lightly. He heard his name called, and he went and got his order. He carried it back to the table, sat down, opened the sandwich and took a bit. That's when the door opened and two women walked in. Luca didn't wait long as he approached them. Gavin on the other hand stayed where he was, and watched the whole thing unfold.]

Auden was surprised when the woman asked for a day with no phones. That was a surprise, but she was all for it. Having a day of no distractions with Seraphina was a dream come true. She was already planning on having her phone on silent, but off seemed to be more personal, more intimate for some reason. She loved that she was willing to give her undivided attention to her, and she was more than willing to reciprocate. [#75abba “I love how you think, lady.”] she smiled, the girl turning off her phone as they pulled up to the coffee shop.

Auden was a bit taken aback by the man now standing in front of the two. He was quite a bit taller than both of them, covered in tattoos. He looked scary almost in the presence of an angel of Seraphina. When she spoke his name, Luca, she understood a bit more. The woman had mentioned his name, but she never said anything about them being serious or anything. They had gone on a few dates and Auden was there to listen about each one. She knew that the woman was single, otherwise she would never tell her about her feelings for her, she couldn’t do that to someone she cared about so much. Serphina would have told her, right?

Auden tried to avoid eye contact with the male, knowing she shouldn’t be butting into their conversation, or listening, no matter how much she wanted to tell him to get away from her and take the woman away. The woman was visibly annoyed by the situation, the way her breath was released and the tone of her voice. She wanted to comfort her, take her hand and let her troubles melt away. Yet, that wasn’t her place. She was her best friend at this moment, nothing more and nothing less.

Staring at the coffee board, she scanned it, trying to make herself look busy. [#1fa13b “I wanted to talk to you. Alone.”] Auden could hear behind her. She turned, seeing a stern Luca face staring at her. As much as she wanted to protect her friend, she could tell the man wouldn’t let her take no for an answer. She took ahold of Seraphina’s hand, [#75abba “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. What do you want? I’ll put our order in and sit down over there, meet me after.”] Auden told the woman, giving her hand a light squeeze. She waited for the woman to give her her order and walked away toward the counter. She kept an eye out for her as she got their coffee’s and even two cake pops for the girl’s, sitting at the table she had pointed out. She took a sip of her vanilla latte, looked up to see a boy with light shaggy hair looking at her. She rolled her eyes, averting her eyes back to Seraphina and Luca.

What was it about him that she liked so much? He was a stereotypical bad boy, tattoos and a demeanor that would either scare you away or draw you in. The way his words flowed out of his mouth were smooth like ice, but held onto you like honey. He’s a man your mother would tell you to look out for, and your best friend would tell you to sleep with. He could be the man of your dreams, or your nightmares. Auden was so plain and regular, she found nothing about herself exciting in any way. Brown hair and light blue eyes, she could blend in in any crowd. Easily overlooked, how could someone like Seraphina be attracted to her? No, she had to tell her today. As long as she was single, she was fair game. She turned back to watch, she couldn’t hear their conversation, but she still worried for her friend.
[center [pic http://i.imgur.com/7Or5Quz.png]]
[right[pic http://i.imgur.com/gubNYZV.jpg]]
Luca towered in front of the pair of girls. Serphina looked directly at him. [#1fa13b “What am I doing here? I live nearby, I can’t come get a cup of coffee near my place?”] he teased lightly, a small smile rested in his lips. He ran a hand through his hair, allowing it to find it’s pace back to where it was styled. As he looked back, the other girl that Seraphina arrived with was still right by the girl’s side. [i Her roommate] he assumed, even though he hadn’t met her, only heard her name a few times, yet he didn’t remember it at all. It wasn’t important, it was only her roommate. He looked over to her, assuming she would leave. When she didn’t, he thought he’d make it more obvious. He couched loudly, speaking in a voice she would definitely make out. [#1fa13b “I wanted to talk to you. Alone.”] he spoke sternly, giving the woman a face that asked her to leave them be. The girl walked over to Seraphina, taking her hand. [#75abba “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. What do you want? I’ll put our order in and sit down over there, meet me after.”].

Why the fuck did she have to hold her hand, she clearly had a thing for her friend. This roommate of hers was in love with her, she could see it in her eyes the way she looked at her. He had worked too hard and too long at wooing this girl, he wasn’t going to lose. And not to a [i girl]. He wanted Seraphina to be his, to touch her, kiss her, show her off, and even mess around with her. She would be his, and his alone. She didn’t need anyone else if she had him, and he would make sure she knew that. He had to ask Seraphina to be his, and fast.

When the woman had left them, he let a cool smile rest on his face. [#1fa13b “Seraphina, I wanted to apologize for the way I acted last night. I shouldn’t have acted like that, I should have respected the fact that you had a busy day and you need your sleep. So, I’m sorry, beautiful. I won’t do that again.”] the lies slipped out of his mouth so easily they sounded like the truth. Luca wasn’t sorry for anything he did, he just wanted people to see he was a good guy, even if he wasn’t. He let a hand brush her cheek, [#1fa13b “God, you are such a beauty.”] he spoke, not letting the smile leave his face. He took her hand in his large warm hand, holding it gently. [#1fa13b “I think the reason I was so rash, is because I had a question I wanted to ask you. Seraphina, would you be my girlfriend?”] he asked in a low voice. His words like sickly sweet honey and enough to make girls swoon over him, and Luca didn’t get turned down often because of it. He knew he was hot shit, and he clearly acted like it.

Luca turned around, making eyes to Gavin to go distract her roommate. If he was going to make this work, he had to start showing her that that roommate of hers could date someone too. Gavin could flirt with her, maybe even sleep with her roommate, get her out of their hair. As long as that woman wasn’t around, Luca felt he could be in the clear with Seraphina. Gavin wanted a relationship anyway, maybe Auden was a good start.

[font "times new roman" The female was still surprised that Luca was there. She had a feeling he was stalking her, but she wasn't about to bring that up at all. When she felt Auden take her hand, she looked towards the woman and smiled softly. [#cc6699 "A peppermint and vanilla coffee will be wonderful. I'll be right there"] she said squeezing the woman's hand in return. When Auden's hand slipped from her's, she felt slightly sad. That was a strange feeling, and she pushed it aside a moment and looked back towards Luca. Was he really apologizing to her? That was a first.]

[font "times new roman" She knew there were times she got under his skin, but how he reacted last night kind of sent red flags. When he reached out and touched her cheek, she leaned into his touch slightly, her light blue eyes drifting closed. She took a breath and listened to what the male said. Her eyes opened and locked on his. She pulled back and shook her head lightly. [#cc6699 "Luca.. I don't know what to say. After last night, I don't know if I want to pursue anything with you honestly."]]

[font "times new roman" [#cc6699 "You got so mad over something so small, and I don't know if I can have someone like that around me. I need someone who's going to understand that I'm not always going to be around, and I do have a life with my roommate, and sometimes I need that girl time with her. So right now, I'm not going to answer your question. It's going to hang in the air between us for awhile. I need time to think, and right now it's not the best time either"]]

[font "times new roman" [#cc6699 "Auden and I have plans, and I'm going to enjoy my day with my best friend. I'll text you when I get home. I don't know when that'll be though. So you'll have some time to really think about it. I don't want you asking me, and then turning me down. I'll talk to you later"] she said lightly. She then stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his cheek lightly. She then slipped past him and towards Auden's table. She had both of their coffee's, and she smiled towards her taking her own cup in her hands.]

[font "times new roman" [#cc6699 "You got cake pops too?! You spoil me Auden! Let's go. We have a full day planned, and I don't want to miss any of it"] she said as she slipped her phone out of her back pocket and shut it off completely. She looked up when Luca's friend started coming over, and she grabbed Auden's arm, and gently pulled her to her feet. She didn't like the look on the male's face either. She knew that Luca was going to be pissed with her answer, but she didn't care. She had Auden, and that's all that mattered right now.]

[font "times new roman" She hooked her arm through the other's and led her out of the coffee shop and back to the car. When they were both locked inside, she tuned her attention to the woman and smiled. [#cc6699 "Thank you for the coffee and treat. Where to now?"] she asked the other. She buckled herself in, lifted the cup to her lips and took a sip. Her eyes wandered back to Luca, and wished he hadn't tried to ruin her day. She would get an ear full later. Right now she had more important things to worry about.]

[center [pic https://i.imgur.com/oKkBdBX.png]]

[right [pic https://i.imgur.com/yFqrk0I.jpg]]

[font "times new roman" Gavin was watching the whole thing unfolding. He looked towards Auden and looked her up and down. She was pretty looking, but he could tell she wasn't into men. He didn't know why he could tell, but he did. Then again he, himself wasn't that into women that much either. He wasn't about to tell Luca that though. He looked back towards Luca and the woman he was talking too. She was a looker for sure. She was a lot prettier in person too. Hell if Luca hadn't set his eyes on her, and if he was into women more, he would have snagged her as well.]

[font "times new roman" He saw the look Luca gave him and he was about to go over and distract the other woman when he realized he had been a little too slow. They were leaving, and Seraphina gave him a strange look. He shook his head lightly as he pushed himself up and walked over to Luca. [#D1B419 "So I don't know if that went okay, cause she's leaving with her friend instead of you. Sorry I was a bit slow.. I'm just not feeling the woman. You know me, I have to be interested in someone like her, and I'm really not"] he admitted.]

[font "times new roman" He could tell his friend was upset and he cocked his head to the side. [#D1B419 "Dude what happened? You look like you are about to shit bricks. Was it that bad?"] he asked Luca. He didn't know if he was making matters worse, or making them better. He hoped he wasn't overstepping a line, but he had a really strong feeling that he was. He shoved his hands into his pockets waiting for the other to say something.]

Auden’s face heated up as she watched Luca flirt endlessly with Seraphina, and she seemed to lean into his hand. She did pull away and say a small speech to him before kissing his cheek and heading over to her. She was a bit shocked at the happiness that radiated from the woman in front of her as they hooked their arms and left the coffee shop. She felt like the whole ordeal passed by her in a wave, and she was adjusting to her surroundings as they got into the car. Seraphina said something, and once she looked over to her, what she said sunk in. [#75abba “Huh? Oh, yeah. We have a reservation for lunch at that restaurant you like, but it’s a little early. Do you want to pop into a few stores nearby? We have like 45 minutes.”] Auden smiled, before putting the car in drive before heading toward the restaurant.

Auden sighed. After watching Seraphina interact with Luca, she wondered if she should even confess how she felt. The woman had mentioned Luca before, but she seemed to really like him, considering she kissed him goodbye. The thoughts of whether to confess or not rolled in her brain as they drove, causing Auden to be oddly quiet in the car. As she realized Seraphina might be confused, she took a deep breath, letting it out heavily. [#75abba “So, what did that guy want? Luca, right?”] she asked. She knew she should compliment him on something to be a good friend, but nothing about him was good to her. Auden knew he’d be all wrong for Seraphina, but she wanted to be a good friend.

As they stopped at a red light, she took her latte and took a sip. She reached into the bag of cake pops, taking a bite of hers. [#75abba “Oh man, these are really good. I should have bought more and we could have extras.”] she spoke as she took another bite. As she looked over to Seraphina, a piece of her hair was falling in her angelic face. She used her hand to move the hair behind Seraphina’s ear, her finger tracing the side of her face. Auden pretended it to be an accident, but it was 100% intentional. She wanted nothing more than to take her face and press a kiss to her lips, but she could never. She didn’t even know if she was going to make the push she thought she would today.

As Auden pulled into a parking space in front of the restaurant, she made sure no cars were coming and exited the car. She made sure that when she parked on the street that Seraphina was always on the sidewalk side so she was safe. She had her latte in one hand and took her phone in her hand. She turned the phone off, as Seraphina suggested, and slid it into her back pocket as well. She looked at her watch before looking back to Seraphina, shooting her a smile and lighting biting on her bottom lip.

As the two started walking, she looked at the different stores that lined the street. [#75abba “Any of these places you want to go into? You pick.”] she smirked, sending a wink toward the girl. Auden looked away, her face turning red. Her attempt to flirt with Seraphina seemed more like a joke than real flirting, and now she was embarrassed for herself. [#75abba “Sorry, ha, that was weird.”] she stammered, a light laugh escaping her lips as she finished her words before taking a large sip of her latte.

Luca couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Did she really just turn him down, and so easily? She was unlike anyone he had ever dated, and that made him want her even more. He couldn’t make it seem like he was upset with her, so he kept his expression as blank as he could as he watched the two women leave the cafe quickly, the brunette almost in a daze. He looked over to Gavin, his eyes narrowing. [#1fa13b “I only wanted you to distract her, it’s not like you had to fuck her. Geez.”] he spoke. He wasn’t trying to be an asshole, even if he was one, he was mostly just frustrated. He didn’t get the answer ‘no’ from anyone often, so when he did, it pissed him off. But, he wouldn’t apologize, it wasn’t something he ever did sincerely, and he never had.

A deep sigh escaped his lips. [#1fa13b “I’m fine. She’s busy today, so we’re gonna talk about it later. I’m trying that ‘respect’ thing, she likes that.”] Luca said, the words escaping his lips cooly as she tried not to show how fucking angry he actually was in public. If he was home, he probably would have thrown something or punched the wall. No matter how much of a dick Luca knew he was, he still had respect for people, Gavin being one of them. He walked back to their table, sitting down, and waited till Gavin joined him. [#1fa13b “Gavin, this has never been an issue. Girls usually beg to get with me, and it kind of makes me want her more because she’s making me wait. Any ideas on what to do? Do I seriously just have to wait?”] he asked.

Luca never asked for help, but he was becoming desperate. He knew Gavin was better with people than he was, he usually didn’t need to try. He respected the things Gavin said, but he would never tell him that. He stretched his arms over his head, resting his hands behind his head. He leaned back a bit, nothing the barista who gave him a free coffee from before staring at her. He sent a wink and a smile her way, watching her face turn pink. He turned back to Gavin, the smile on his face turned into a face of realization. [#1fa13b “I’m gonna have to stop doing shit like that, huh?”]

[font "times new roman" The whole ordeal with Luca back at the coffee shop was sticking with her. She didn't understand why all of a sudden he was apologizing to her. Did he really like her? Or was he just trying to bed her? She shook her head as she looked at Auden and smiled. [#cc6699 "Shopping sounds nice right about now, because I'm not that hungry anymore"] she said softly. She meant it too. She then noticed how silent her best friend got and that worried her a little bit. Had she done something wrong? Then it dawned on her. It was Luca.]

[font "times new roman" The moment Auden mentioned his name she looked towards her friend. [#cc6699 "Today is supposed to be about us. There's nothing between Luca and myself. With how he treated me last night, I don't think I want to even try with the asshole. He got all butt hurt when I told him I had to get some sleep, and he seemed to be all jealous when he saw you and I together. So I don't know what's going on with him, but right now he's not the main focus of today"] she said lightly, an icy tone in her voice.]

[font "times new roman" She didn't want to think about Luca and the way he was acting. He was already acting like her boyfriend when in reality he wasn't. They were just talking, and that was about it. She was seeing a different side to him and she didn't like it. She felt like she was being controlled when he had been around. She felt like she couldn't breath. When she's with Auden though that's different. She felt like she could be herself, she could let her hair down and not think about her words.]

[font "times new roman" She felt Auden's touch just then and it drew her out of her thoughts and she leaned into the woman's touch before it was gone. That was really strange. She took a cake pop for herself and ate the whole thing in one go. She let her eyes drift closed and sighed. She chewed for a moment before speaking. [#cc6699 "You and I both know they wouldn't have lasted if we ended up getting more"] she said with a small laugh. When the car came to a stop she waited until Auden had stepped out.]

[font "times new roman" She was confused about everything, and she didn't know what to do. She gathered up her things and climbed out. She shut the door behind her and slid her phone into her pocket, along with her wallet. She looked up and down the street and her eyes landed on a small Lingerie shop and a small smirk passed over her lips. She nodded towards the shop and grinned. [#cc6699 "Let's go in there. I haven't been lingerie shopping in a while, and I want your opinion on some things"] she said as she took the other's hand in her's.]

[font "times new roman" She'd never seen Auden in a lingerie shop before so this would be interesting the say the least. She opened the door and tugged her friend inside. The woman behind the counter looked up and smiled. [b "Welcome to Candy's Play Store, if y'all need help please let me know. My name is Samara."] she said with a warm smile. [#cc6699 "Thank you, we are just looking for now"] the other said. She looked towards Auden and smirked lightly as she let the other's hand go and started browsing the panties and bras.]

[font "times new roman" Gavin was at a loss for words honestly. He watched Luca and could tell he was really pissed off. He didn't know how else to really handle all of this. He shook his head lightly [#D1B419 "Dude I ain't gonna do shit. Plus I don't think she would have liked me hitting on her, because she plays for the same team as herself"] he said with a small smirk. He watched as Luca came over to the table and sat down. He was doing everything in his power not to lose control, and he could see that.]

[font "times new roman" He had to choose his words carefully in a way. He nodded a bit. [#D1B419 "If you really want the girl, then you have to wait. Don't push her because if you push her then it'll push her right out the door. I know you want her in your life, and in your bed but sometimes you have to play their game as well. You need to woo her, make her feel special and make her feel like you are in it for real"] he said lightly. There had been so many missed relationships for himself because of that.]

[font "times new roman" He then lifted the cup to his lips and watched as Luca pretty much flirted with another female. He took another sip of his coffee and then placed it down in front of him. [#D1B419 "Sadly yes you do. If you want to keep her, then you need to stop the flirting. You need to only have eyes for her and that's it. I know it's hard, but if you really want to be in a relationship with the blonde bimbo then you need to cut all of your shit out"] he said.]

[font "times new roman" He was slowly losing his own temper. He was done with watching Luca play with women, and he hoped to God he was serious about this one. If he wasn't then he was going to tell Luca he was done. Done being his wingman, and done with helping him in general. [#D1B419 "I gotta go"] he said as he picked up his coffee cup and then made his way out of the cafe. He had to get away from his feelings right now, and running was the only way he knew how.]

Auden was almost happy the woman didn’t want to talk about Luca, because neither did she. She wasn’t going to badmouth him, because she really didn’t know him, but she could just tell he was bad news for her. Seraphina was an angel and this guy radiated bad energy. She just wished she knew if her friend was even interested in women. She seemed to be straight and if she could find out if she even swung that way, she felt her attempt to ask her out might be more successful. But that idea of Luca still loomed in her mind, knowing that guy was clearly trying to close in on Seraphina, he wanted her to be his as soon as possible.

Auden felt her hand tingle when Seraphina seemed to lean into her touch, but she might have just imagined it. It made her feel like she could possibly be interested in her, the fact that she leaned into her touch just like she did with Luca. She didn’t want to play too much into the small things though, because Seraphina was no one to hide affection. Auden, on the other hand, couldn’t show outward affection easily even if her life was on the line. She just felt it all internally, which she saw as a blessing and a curse.

As she continued to think about the moment she felt she shared with her friend, she was broken out of her thoughts when Seraphina mentioned the lingerie store. Auden had never even been inside a store like that, and she knew that was exactly why Seraphina picked it. [#75abba “Oh. Okay, I did let you pick.”] Auden complied, as she laced her fingers with Seraphina’s. She smiled, staring at their hands as she trailed behind her friend a bit, feeling a slight tingle in her hand as they were laced together. The girl was electrifying to her, mentally and physically.

[b "Welcome to Candy's Play Store, if y'all need help please let me know. My name is Samara."]

Auden smiled toward the woman, with a small nod toward her as Seraphina left her to go browse bras and panties. Auden wasn’t mad that her friend wanted to show off some pieces to her, she was very happy to see her in that way. She did know she would be nervous when she saw her in anything that this store had, but Auden knew she could surprise her too. Auden usually covered up for the most part, so seeing her in lingerie would be very different for her. She went over to the sets they carried, finding a set she actually liked. It was a two piece babydoll set, silk in a dark grey color with some black lace trim. Auden shrugged, taking the set and putting it over her arm.

Auden went over to where Seraphina was looking through the bras and panties, coming up behind her. She resisted the urge to take her by the waist or hips, and just went next to her. [#75abba “Find anything you like? You said you wanted my opinion, right? Ask away.”] Auden smiled. She vaguely looked through the options, nothing really catching her eye. [#75abba “Oh, I actually found something I like. What do you think? It’s not anything too exciting, but I’m not that exciting either.”] she smirked, letting small laugh escape her lips. She had a thought, but knew it was a bad idea the moments after it left her lips, [#75abba “Why don’t you pick out something for me to try?”]

Luca sighed. He knew Gavin was right. He had to cut his shit out, he did really want to be with Seraphina. She was beautiful and she had such a kind spirit, which was something that reminded him of his stepmom. He was a little shocked when Gavin seemed to get visibly upset, which didn’t know why. [#1fa13b “Hey, I wasn’t trying to upset you, dude.”] he said, taking a sip of his coffee. His friend seemed to quickly get out of there, [#1fa13b “Hey, where are you going?”] he called after him, sighing as his friend left him alone. He took his coffee, exiting the cafe, his friend already off.

Luca headed back to his apartment, thinking of something he could do to show Seraphina he cared. He didn’t think the usual things he did would work; singing her a song or taking her out to a nice dinner. Those things she’d like, but she wouldn’t become putty in his hands like he was used to. What could he do, something different and romantic. Something that showed he really cared, something that showed that he was better than her roommate. He had never felt this protective over someone he wasn’t even dating yet, he just knew she was the woman for him. He wanted to be able to protect her, make sure she was safe in any way possible.

As he made his way into his apartment, something Gavin said was really sticking with him. He said that her roommate was very obviously attracted to her own gender, which would put some wrenches in her plan. He couldn’t use a friend to distract her while he worked his magic with Seraphina, and they lived together. She had constant access to her, and probably saw her in her most vulnerable states, which already was starting to anger him. He knew the only way he could get her to possibly say yes, was to get her away from the roommate.

Then, he got it. Luca could invite his sister, the most outgoing bisexual girl he knew. She could sweep her roommate off her feet, while he could do the same to Seraphina. They could go bowling or mini-golfing, knowing his sister and himself could pull all the obvious moves. Then maybe he could make her dinner, and his sister could take her roommate out somewhere for dinner; this seemed to be a great plan in his eyes.

As he started to plan in his head, he knew he should check on Gavin as well. [b [#1fa13b Hey, do you want to play some video games?”]]. Luca did care about his friend, but showing any kind of affection was not his forte. This text from him was like him reaching out and making sure his friend was okay. He sighed, laying his phone on his leg while grabbing his xbox controller and started fucking around on the first game he came to.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina was enjoying the discomfort she saw in Auden. She wanted nothing more than to break the woman out of her comfort zone, and this was the best way she could think of doing it. She chewed her lip lightly as she browsed through some really cute sets. She picked out a couple for herself to try on. Some of them were really reviling, and thought she wouldn't try those on in a public setting, but behind closed doors for sure. When Auden came up to her she looked towards the woman and grinned a bit towards her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She reached out for the baby doll set and lifted it up a bit checking it out. She poked the tip of her tongue out between her lips as she looked between the fabric in her hands, to the woman and back. [#cc6699 "It's cute, but I think a different color would suit you best. The grey color is too bland. If you want to try and impress someone, then you need to go bolder. Get like a light pink color, or maybe a baby blue one as well"] she cooed. She handed the set back to Auden.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 When Auden told her to pick something out for her she about fell over. Was Auden really giving her the okay to do so? She clapped her hands, and took the woman's hand in her own once more and led her to a different part of the store. [#cc6699 "I'm so glad you gave me the okay to do this. Because honey, you and I are going to enjoy this tonight. It's just you and I tonight right? Why don't we leave town for a week or two? Hide in a hotel room somewhere?"] she cooed.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She dropped the woman's hand and walked up to some thongs and started going through them. She pulled a couple out for herself, and then some for Auden as well. She then found the matching bras as well. She then moved to the body suit type things, and started going through those. She picked a couple out for Auden to try on. Then her eyes fell on a silk set and her heart skipped a beat. It was see through, so you could see everything when it was on. [#cc6699 "This is perfect for you"] she breathed out.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "It's really showy, but God Auden.. You would look amazing in it, and I bet whomever you decided to wear it for would be all over you"] she breathed out. It made her slightly jealous and she didn't know why. She looked at the woman and smiled a bit as she turned her head and made sure she had everything she needed for the both of them. Her stomach was growling, and she was getting more and more hungry with each passing second. The longer she was away from Luca, the more he was out of her mind.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Let's go check out, eat, and then you can finish your surprise or whatever you have planned for me"] she said with a smile. There was a small skip in her step as she made her way to the check out counter. She bought all of their choices and took the bag in hand. She then hooked her arm with Auden's and walked out of the shop finally. She couldn't wait to get behind closed doors and try the items on. She couldn't wait for Auden to try on the one's she had chosen for her the most.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Gavin felt bad for ditching out on Luca when he needed him the most. He just didn't like the fact he was trying so hard to get someone when he could pretty much have anyone else in the world. A small sigh passed through his lips when his phone went off. He looked down at it and rolled his eyes. He might as well let Luca sit and think about what he really wanted. He hit the reply button and started typing. [#D1B419 [i I'm heading to a friend's right now. Be back late.]] was all he said and hit send.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 He didn't want to be dragged into this whole nightmare with Luca and the blonde. Yes she was pretty, but she wasn't that pretty. She was pretty much playing Luca, and yet Luca was doing the same thing to her. He sighed as he pulled into the driveway of the man he was seeing secretly behind everyone's back's. That's another reason why he didn't want to come out to Luca. He knew how he felt about people being homosexual. He shut the car off and climbed out. He made sure he had his keys before locking the doors.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 He walked up the front walk, rang the bell and waited. Once he was inside he felt loads better. He quickly sent another message to Luca. [#D1B419 [i If you get bored, you could always find one of your other flings, and do something with them. Good luck with the video games, and I'll be back in a couple of hours.]] He wouldn't be home too late, because he knew that he would still have to help Luca out. For now though, he had other things on his mind to worry about.]]

Auden sighed as she showed off her choice. She knew her choice was plain, and was kind of hoping she could get away with it and hide it in the back of her closet. But when she was given new options, she knew Seraphina wouldn’t let her go without the new ones. She went back, grabbing a light pink and a baby blue color of the babydoll set, placing her safe choice back onto the racks. When she returned back and told the woman to pick her out something, she knew she was in trouble. The woman took her hand, leading her around the store. She really wasn’t fully paying attention until she started talking about going away. Spending a week in a hotel room with a woman she was in love with, sign her up. [#75abba “O-Oh, yeah! Let’s do it. We’ll book something tonight.”] Auden smiled, swallowing hard. With the way things were going, she knew she would have to abandon her plans to tell her how she really felt about her. That could come anytime, but right now after the whole Luca thing, she just needed to be there for her friend, not try to date her as well. She could also think of nothing better than being locked up in a hotel room with her best friend, as they hadn’t had much time together lately, both being so busy with life. That was why she planned this day for them, but now it would expand to a week away with her.

Auden watched as the woman picked out things for the both of them, bras and thongs. Things Auden would probably wouldn’t be wearing [i for] anyone, mainly just to feel good herself. She started sifting through the things the woman handed her when she heard her speak again. She looked up, seeing the piece she was holding. Her face went completely white. [#75abba “Oh, Seraphina...I don’t know-”] she spoke, but the way the woman talked about it, she could never say no to her. [#75abba “I guess I could try it. For you.”] she smiled, following the girl to the checkout counter. Seraphina looked down right beautiful as the sun shone in through the tinted windows out front, which was usually why Auden had Seraphina be her model for every photoshoot she needed. She had hundreds of photos of the woman at this point, and why not? She was the perfect model.

The two got their bags, and headed back out to the car. The cafe that she knew Seraphina loved was close by. She placed all their bags in the backseat, but locked the car back up. [#75abba “Did you see where we are? Your favorite.”] she smiled, pointing next to the car. She wanted to show her that she could spoil her as well as any man could, that she could be what she needed. Auden could do anything any guy, especially Luca, could do; and probably better. The two entered the restaurant, getting a table for two. [#75abba “Get whatever you want, babe. I’m buying.”] she smiled, sending her a wink as well. It wasn’t unlike them to casually call each other babe or wink, but it meant a whole lot more to Auden. She wanted it to be that way all the time, be able to kiss her and wrap her arms around her. She was already anticipating tonight, they could open a bottle of wine and try on all their new lingerie. With a bit of wine in them, anything was possible.

The waitress came over, very flirty as well, and took their drink orders. She seemed a bit smitten with Auden, but Auden could care less about anyone but her best friend. [#75abba “That was weird, huh? So, what do you want to get? Do you want your own thing or do you want to get a couple of things and share them?”] she asked her, leaning forward a bit with her forearms on the table. Running a hand through her hair to push it back, she let a cheeky smile rest on her lips.

Luca heard his phone go off, clearly something was up with Gavin, but he really wasn’t sure what it was. He was hard to figure out, and seemed to be hiding something from him. Sure, he wasn’t required to share his life with him, but he didn’t think he needed to sneak around. If he was hiding a girlfriend or something, he really couldn’t care less, he just thought it was odd. Luca told Gavin basically everything, he just assumed he’d do the same. Assuming he mentioned a friends house, he probably was seeing someone. He wasn’t gonna push the man too much, he’d tell him about the lady eventually.

As he was messing around on his game, he looked to see Gavin had responded again. Now, this text made him mad. Gavin knew he was clearing after one girl, and he wasn’t going to try and mess it up by fucking some other chick. He sighed, not even responding to that message. Something was clearly going on in Gavin’s mind, and he was determined to figure it out when he came over later.

Luca knew he needed to plan how to get his sister into his town. He knew he couldn’t just show up tonight, he needed to wait and let her get the space she needed and then swoop in and sweep her off her feet. His sister can get Auden away from her long enough so he can get to Seraphina. He felt the need to protect Seraphina, in the same way he felt his dad protect his stepmom. He wanted to make sure no one hurt her, and that he was the only one she needed.

Luca sent a message to his sister, saying she should come visit in his town for a little while. He loved his sister, but they didn’t get to see each other too much because they lived hours away from each other. He knew she’d be all for coming down, but he wanted to make sure it’ll all work in his plan. Sure, he was using her, a little bit, but she could possibly get something out of it, hopefully a stable girlfriend for once. His sister had been through the ringer when it came to dating, and even if wasn’t a fan of Auden for wanting Seraphina, he at least assumed she’d be good to anyone who she liked. Hopefully his sister could fit that bill for her. Luca sent one more text to Gavin, [b [#1fa13b Okay, see ya.]]. Two could play at his game, and maybe he’d come home and actually try to help him.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 The day was turning out to be amazing. A day of shopping, and then food. She was glad Auden agreed to go and get a hotel room for a week. They both needed the escape and she wondered if it would last a lot longer than that. She bit her lip lightly as she walked to the car with the woman. She helped load the car with their bags, and then looked up. She cocked her head to the side and a smile broke out across her face. [#cc6699 "You really are making this all about me today"] she said with a grin.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then rounded the car and headed towards the other building. The two walked in and were taken to a table. She looked up at the waitress that came over and started laying on the flirting. She could tell the waitress was interested in Auden, but she wasn't feeling it. She cocked a 'brow slightly at the woman when they were alone. [#cc6699 "Dude she was laying it on thick with you, and you just blew her off. Might as well try to make her day a little bit"] she said with a small laugh.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She looked the menu over slowly and debated on if she wanted to get something on her own, or getting things to share. She bit her lower lip lightly as she looked up at the woman before her. [#cc6699 "Why don't we get things to share? Maybe get extra as well so we can have something at the hotel room. I know we will need to go and do some shopping so that way we don't eat out the whole time as well"] she said lightly. She also thought about getting some new movies too.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Did you want to stick around town? Or did you want to go on a small road trip? Get away from here all together, and just lock ourselves away for a week? Either way I'm game for either one. I just know we need to get some movies, and a DVD player, because the cable at hotel's suck hardcore"] she said with a small laugh. She then scanned the menu once more and found some pasta she's been wanting to try. Lemmon pepper chicken, with white sauce and pasta. She licked her lips lightly at the thought.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She made sure to show that to Auden as well. She found a couple of other items she wanted to try, but she wanted to get the other's input as well. She then pointed out the dishes. [#cc6699 "I think that Lemmon pepper chicken sounds good, along with some of the bread sticks. Maybe a couple different things as well. What do you think?"] she asked. She somewhat wanted to get out of here, and get to that hotel room and get Auden to start trying on her new items. She wanted to see her in them more than anything.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 As she was waiting to see what the woman thought, she couldn't help but wonder what Luca was up too. Was it driving him insane that she pretty much blew him off? Was he still interested in her after that? She bit her lip lightly wondering if she had been too harsh with him. He was pushing himself onto her, and she didn't like that. He would have to understand that she was close to Auden she would be spending a lot of time with her. She shook her head clearing it of the male.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She would make it up to him sooner or later. Right now she was with her best friend, and she didn't want him clouding her thoughts at the moment. [#cc6699 "So what do you think of the food choices? What sounds good to you?"] she asked lightly. She leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms over her chest waiting for the woman's reply.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 A small sigh passed through the red head's lips as she looked at the boxes in front of her. She had gotten kicked out of her apartment, and she didn't really have anywhere else to go. That's when her phone went off and saw that it was Luca. It was like he could read her mind or something. A small smile passed over her lips as she debated on telling him what happened. Maybe she shouldn't tell him right away she got kicked out. Then again, she told him everything and he was always there for her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She bit her lip lightly as she started a message to the male. [#E59866 [i Funny that you would mention me coming out there. I got kicked out of my apartment today and I was going to message you anyway. Would it be alright if I crashed with you and Gavin for a little while? Just until I can get a job, and enough saved up for a place of my own? I'll head out that way now, and I'll be there tonight.]] She read the message over and then hit send. That's when her roommate and ex-girlfriend walked in.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [b "Why are you still here? I kicked you out a couple hours ago"] she snapped crossing her arms over her chest. Remedy narrowed her eyes a bit and slowly stood. [#E59866 "It takes awhile to pack up my shit, but don't worry I have it all packed up now, and I'm leaving"] she snapped back. The blonde narrowed her eyes towards her and closed the distance between them, drew her hand back and slapped her across the face. [b "You ungrateful little bitch"] she whispered. Remedy's hand flew to her cheek just then.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [b "I told you I would pack up your things and send them to you. Get the fuck out of my house"] she snapped. The red head narrowed her eyes and grabbed the few boxes she had and carried them out. [#E59866 "You will regret that"] she called over her shoulder. She stormed out of the apartment, and headed straight to her car. She threw the boxes into the back of the car and then slid into the passenger seat. She started up the car and peeled out of the parking lot. She had a long drive ahead of her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 At least she would have somewhere to go. At least for the night. At least she hoped she did. She headed to the freeway, and only stopped for gas, and something to eat. Other than that she was heading straight towards her brother, and hopefully a better life.]]

Auden rubbed the back of her neck as Seraphina brought up the flirty waitress, an embarrassed smile on her face. She was already interested in her best friend to be concerned with anyone else, but she couldn’t just come out and tell Seraphina that. [#75abba “Oh, that would be mean. Then she’ll want my number or something, and then I’ll have to deal with that. Then we can never come back.”] Auden said, brushing it off her shoulders cooly. Auden usually was never that confident, it was something about Seraphina that helped her most confident side show.

As the other woman looked over the menu, Auden was more concerned with watching her. Sure, it might be a little odd for her to stare at her, but she was so breathtakingly beautiful, it was hard not to. She kept her menu propped upward, but her eyes scanned the woman. Seeing her in the outfit she had gotten her made her happy, but she began thinking about how Seraphina would most likely try on all the pieces they just bought, which made her face heat up quickly. It made her even more nervous that [i she] would also have to show Seraphina what she picked out for her. Seraphina had seen her in a bathing suit and, very rarely, a bra and panties, but this was different. Auden was never super comfortable with showing her body off to anyone, but she knew Seraphina would tell her she looked great in anything. She ended up zoning out a little bit, thinking about that activity, and only was released at the sound of her sweet voice.

[#75abba “Huh? Oh, yeah! Extra’s would be good too. Yeah, we can stop before we get to the hotel.”] Auden smiled. She realized she would actually have to look at the menu, or her best friend would definitely be suspicious. When she mentioned leaving town or staying nearby, Auden thought for a moment. Well, it depended on what the other wanted to do. [#75abba “Well, do you want to go out at all, or do you want to just lock ourselves away. If we want to just be locked away, we could go pretty far. But if you want to go out, it will be easier to stay around here. You know I’m not a huge fan of going out, so I’d much rather go away. Just being with my best friend would be a great vacation.”] Auden smiled. She would love to be locked away with Seraphina for a week, especially with Luca still hot on her tail from turning him down recently. She hoped she wasn’t hung up on him, but she could tell he would not be one to give up. There was something about him that didn’t sit right with Auden.

Looking over as she started talking about food, Auden smiled. [#75abba “Sounds great. Those look amazing. Yeah, let’s get those and maybe this too.”] Auden said, pointing out another dish on the menu. Auden knew the two of them would finish the amount of food they’d be getting, so they would definitely have leftovers. As the waitress headed back over with their drinks, she took their orders as well before heading off to start their order, but not before brushing her hand across Auden’s shoulder. Auden sighed, taking a sip of her drink in front of her. She was happy the woman was interested in her, as she would have been even more annoyed if she tried to flirt with Seraphina.

Auden was going to pull out her phone, start looking for hotel’s before remembering the two were going ‘no phones’ for today. She didn’t want to look like she was uninterested, but she was more excited about getting away with her friend. She remembered that her friend mentioned some movies, and was a bit curious. [#75abba “What kind of movies were you thinking? I think I have a DVD player I brought from home when we moved in somewhere, so we can use that.”] she said, playing with her straw before looking back up at Seraphina. [#75abba “Oh, I had an idea.”] Auden said, leaning in across the table a bit. [#75abba “The rest of my day I had planned was not as exciting as getting away with you. Let’s just head home and get started on our time away. I also would love to get a photoshoot in while we’re away, if you’re game? I need some new portfolio shots. Also, I wanted to try a boudoir shoot as well, and with our new pieces, they’d probably come off amazing. And, I could bring my tripod and get a couple of shots of both of us, but only a few. You know I prefer to be behind the camera.”] she smiled.

Auden wasn’t lying, she needed new portfolio shots, and Seraphina was her favorite canvas. And she knew that a boudoir shoot would be fun as well, she just hoped she could get through it without letting her feelings for her get in the way. Being in love with your best friend was hard, and Seraphina being herself didn’t help her at all. She appreciated the fact that Seraphina never asked her ‘Oh, do you have a crush on me?’ like a lot of her friends asked when she first came out. But, it might have helped her get out her feelings instead of pining for her for years. But she was worried what would happen if they got a few drinks in them first.

Luca felt his phone vibrate on his leg, but ignored it until he was actually able to pause his game at a good moment. He was hoping it would be Seraphina, although he had a feeling it wouldn’t be. He hated the fact that he was so hung up on this girl, it was really unlike him. He picked up the phone and opened it to the message that came in. He sighed, seeing the message that Remedy sent him. He didn’t know if he should be pissed at her shitty ex-girlfriend, or feel bad for his sister. If she didn’t live so far away, Luca knew he probably would have gone after the blonde that his sister was now not with.

[b [#1fa13b Of course you can come here Remedy. Get all your stuff from here and get out. I don’t want you around her any longer. Just stay here until you need to, it will be no issue.]]

Luca had his possessive tendencies with most people in his life. Remedy, any girl he was seeing, even Gavin, even if his friends were not as much as the others. Being his younger sister, he felt the need to protect her, and he had been worried when she moved that far away and with a girl he wasn’t crazy about. He knew that this situation was bound to happen, and he just hoped it didn’t get too bad. He knew he should probably give Gavin the heads up, and hoped he didn’t have an issue with it.

[b [#1fa13b Hey. I talked to Remedy, she’s going to stay with us for a little bit. Her and her girlfriend ended things and it seems bad. She’ll be here tonight.]]

Gavin had met Remedy a few times, so it wasn’t like he was bringing some stranger into their home. He’d get anything she needed, and let her figure out what she wanted to do. Luca did have a soft spot inside him for her, one he didn’t have for almost anyone else. He hoped that his plan to set her up with Seraphina’s roommate would still go okay, even with a recent breakup. The roommate girl seemed nice enough, but he knew he’d go crazy if his sister got hurt by anyone within close proximity to him.

Luca checked their extra bedroom in their apartment, and it was fairly clean. They used it mostly for storage for things they couldn’t out other places, but it had a bed and dresser at least that she could use. Luca picked up anything he had frivolously thrown in here, like leftover articles from hookups he had months ago he hadn’t bothered to actually get rid of. He went back to the couch then after, thinking if he should text Seraphina. Let her know he was thinking of her? No, he needed to listen to Gavin and give her space. Then he could swoop in and show her he really was interested. He couldn’t suffocate her, at least not quite yet.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 As the two were deciding on food, the blonde looked towards her best friend. There was something she was hiding. She could tell. She wasn't going to push the issue though. She knew when Auden was hiding something, because she never kept eye contact for very long. She would get it out of the woman sooner or later. When the waitress came back and took their order, and the extra orders as well, she couldn't help but smirk a bit. [#cc6699 "She's laying it on a little thick.. Maybe you should give her your number"] she teased.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 It was kind of nice seeing someone show interest in her best friend. She couldn't help but wonder what Luca was up to though. Was he really pissed off with her? Was he already on the hunt for someone new? She couldn't help but let those thoughts wander in her mind. Maybe she should have given him a straight answer before just blowing him off. She chewed her lower lip lightly as she thought about it. She then remembered that they had agreed to no phones for the day, but she wanted to start hotel hunting.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Here's the deal. I know I suggested no phones for the rest of the day, but since this is something new, we cut the no phones thing for the rest of the day. I wouldn't mind leaving town for sure. I don't mind staying in. Just means less clothes time"] she said with a grin. She hated wearing clothes for long periods of time. Even when she got home from work, she would be changing into a pair of panties and bra, or sometimes shorts and a tank top. At least she wouldn't have to get all dolled up.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "As for finding the DVD player, do you know where it is off hand? I don't mind getting a new one if we need too. Cause it's been awhile since either of us have been up in the attic to really look for anything"] she admitted. She didn't know what was all up there anyway. She chewed the inside of her cheek, as Auden spoke about the photo shoot. It's been a little while since Auden's used her as a project. They did have the new outfits for it, and it'll be perfect for them both.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "I don't see why not. I mean we will have to find the best room out of town for it. I don't want some kind of junky room for this. As for taking pictures of us both, I think if we go somewhere with woods it would be perfect for you and I. The lighting would be amazing coming through the trees and what not"] she said. She was getting more and more excited for this. It's been awhile since the two of them had done something like this. As she was about to speak again the waitress was back.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [b "I see you ordered some extra food. Did you want me to box up the extra's for you?"] she asked. Seraphina broke out into a smile. [#cc6699 "That would be wonderful, thank you"] she said. She rattled off the extra food they ordered, and the waitress nodded and was off to get what they originally ordered first. When she was back, she placed the food in front of the two. [b "If you need anything, let me know. I hope you both enjoy"] she said with a small smile. She then stole one last look at Auden and left.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Dude, she has it bad for you. Why not give it a shot? Or can I play match maker for you?"] she asked. She then picked up her fork and dug in. She was a lot more hungry than she thought she had been. She couldn't wait to get home, get packed up and leave town for a week. They both needed it for sure. She smiled lightly as she took another bite.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 As Gavin was trying to enjoy his night, his phone kept going off. He let out a small sigh as he looked towards his newest conquest. [#D1B419 "Give me a second. It's most likely Luca trying to get a hold of me"] he said. The other just nodded a bit. [b "Take all the time you need. It's not like you have to leave or anything"] he said and climbed out of bed. Gavin was then left alone, and he opened the messages from Luca. He read over each one slowly, and then came to the one about Remedy.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 He sighed lightly, wondering if it would be best to let the siblings do their own thing for a little while. He could go home and get a couple changes of clothes for a couple days. He needed some space away from Luca, and his obsession with Seraphina. He didn't fully understand why he was so hung up on her. [#D1B419 [i That's fine. If you want she can stay in my room for a couple days. Since I'm thinking about going to my parents for a bit.]] He read the first half of the message and sighed.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 He deleted that whole thing and then started typing again. [#D1B419 [i That's fine. I'll be staying with another friend for a couple of days. If you want she can stay in my room, instead of that shitty spare room. Since you and I pretty much have used it for storage. Or I can give you my storage key and we can move everything there, since I have a feeling she'll be there for awhile.]] The message sounded a bit better. He then thought about adding more to it, but what? He didn't want to sound like a total asshole.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#D1B419 [i Listen. You and I will have to sit down and really talk about what happened. That and I have something to tell you as well. Right now I just need the space away from you, and Seraphina for a little bit. I need to wrap my own head around everything, and figure out how to even tell you this. I'll be home tomorrow night and we can talk. I'll see you then.]] He read the other message and hit send as well. At least he hinted about something important.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Right as he was putting his phone away, Connor came back into the room with two beer bottles. [b "Did you tell Luca about you and I?"] he asked. Gavin shook his head. [#D1B419 "No, I'll be talking to him tomorrow about it. His sister is going to be staying with us for a little while. I guess things ended badly between her and her girlfriend"] he said with a shrug of his shoulders. The two fell into comfortable silence, and Gavin reached over and shut his phone off. Not wanting anymore distractions at the moment.]]

[center [pic https://i.imgur.com/oKkBdBX.png]]

[left [pic http://i.imgur.com/Fw5ZHhh.jpg]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Remedy couldn't believe everything ended so quickly. She felt ten times better, and she knew that Luca would be glad to have her around for a little while. At one of the stops for gas she finally read his message. She smiled lightly as she hit reply. [#E59866 [i I'll be there in the next two to three hours. I didn't realize I was kind of speeding. I have most of my stuff, but the rest of it I had to leave. She was being a total bitch. I'll have to pretty much replace all of it.]]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#E59866 [i Thank you for letting me stay. You know I wouldn't ask unless I really had no other choice in the matter. I'll see you soon.]] She hit send and tossed her phone back into the car. She then went inside and grabbed some snacks, and paid for the gas. She had covered a lot of time by speeding. Her heart was beating faster than normal, and she honestly didn't know why. Was it because she was finally out of the toxic place she was entering? Or was it because she would be seeing her older brother?]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Whatever the reason was, she was just glad to be going to a place she would be welcome. She paid for everything and was back in the car in less than five minutes. She went back onto the highway, and turned up the radio. She was bobbing her head to the music when her phone went off. She didn't dare look at it. It went off again, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be her now ex-girlfriend? Was everything okay? She fought the urge to read the messages. She would read them when she got to Luca's.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [center [b [i Three Hours Later.]]]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She pulled into Luca's apartment parking lot and she shut off the car. She sat there for a moment trying to gather her thoughts. She was finally here. She reached for her phone, and opened the messages. Sure enough it was from her ex-girlfriend. She bit her lip as she started reading the long message. [b [i I know I'm the last person you want to hear from. I'm sorry for how things have been lately. I should have told you this from the get go, but I didn't.]]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [b [i When I met you I fell head over heels for you. You were like a breath of fresh air for me, and you were someone special to me. I was still hung up over Olivia though. Everything with her had been amazing. So when I jumped into that relationship with you, I knew it was a bad idea. I didn't want to hurt you. I didn't want to cheat on you. I was sleeping with her behind your back. Those late nights when I would come home smelling like someone else, it was her.]]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [b [i I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't get her out of my head. I'm sorry Remedy. I hope you find what you are looking for. You and I just weren't meant to be together. I never really loved you anyway.]] That really stung. Fioana didn't love her? What happened to telling her she did? She had spent so much time on the woman, and for what? She felt tears sting her eyes as she messaged Luca. [#E59866 [i I'm in the parking lot... I'll be up in a little bit...]] She then hit send.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She threw her phone onto the floor and let out a scream of pain. She slammed her fists against the steering wheel. She had every right to break down right now. She pretty much lost her home, her heart, and everything she had grown to love. She was alone now. Truly alone. At least that's how it felt at the moment.]]

Auden nodded, the no phones rule was fun when they would be in the area, but it seemed like both of them were more excited to get away. She looked down to get her phone out, but mostly to hide the blush that covered her cheeks when Seraphina mentioned ‘less clothes time’. It was like she was trying to make her nervous, even though the woman had no idea Auden had crushed on her for years now. Auden took her phone out of her pocket, powering it on. She placed it down next to her as the phone rebooted itself, as Auden almost never turned her phone off. It needed the break.

Auden leaned to take a sip of her drink before her eyes looked up to Seraphina when she mentioned the DVD player. Thinking about it, she had no idea where it could be, and it was probably tucked away under lots of stuff. [#75abba “Getting a new one would be easier. I have no idea where it could be.”] she smiled, taking another sip of her drink. This was nice, having time alone with Seraphina, uninterrupted time.

Auden smiled when she agreed to her photoshoot. Seraphina was a great model, she knew how to pose and make it look effortless. When she mentioned the woods, the woman nodded. [#75abba “Maybe like one of those modern cabins? Then we’d have like a whole mini house, and we definitely wouldn’t have to eat out a lot. And we’d have a way to heat up our extras. Plus, because it’s just us, we can get a small one so it won’t cost too much for a week, and it’s the off season so it will be even better!”] Auden smiled. She reached over as her phone started, a picture of the two best friends as her wallpaper. It was at Auden’s last birthday, and the two ended up cuddled up on the couch under a blanket, watching a movie to end the night. One of Auden’s friends who was staying over as well, snapped the photo as the two were laughing at each other, both of them definitely tipsy. Seeing the photo all the time always made her smile, so she had put it as her wallpaper soon after. She loved that picture.

As searched up the cabin she was thinking about. It wasn’t a bad price, and it wasn’t too big either. In the middle of the woods, super quiet but the cabin had very modern features inside. [#75abba “I’m thinking something like this! And this one already has a DVD player.”] she teased. She could already picture poses she could have Seraphina do for their shoot, the woman zoning out before hearing Seraphina talk to the waitress. The woman after quickly brought their food, after giving Auden a last look as she walked away. Auden could care less about some waitress, and she knew her friend wanted to set her up because she hadn’t been on an actual date in a long time.

It would be nice to go on a date again, but she never wanted to make someone feel less than because of how in love she was with her best friend. Someone would really have to peak her interest for her to try dating again. Sure, the waitress was pretty, but she felt like it wouldn’t really go anywhere. [#75abba “I’m good. If I give her my number, she's going to want to text all week anyway. And I want to spend my vacation talking to you. Maybe I’ll go on a dating app or something again, you can help play matchmaker there, okay?”] she smiled. Seraphina was just trying to be a good friend, and Auden just wanted to protect her heart.

Auden started on her food then, she forgot how good the food here was. They rarely came here anymore, and that would soon change after tasting the food again. She was happy they would have leftovers to eat for the week. The two finished their food quickly, and got the bagged up food ready to go as well. After Auden paid for the food, the waitress had left her own phone number on the receipt. Auden sighed, andm snapped a photo of the number, knowing it would at least make Seraphina happy to see her attempt to try dating again.

Piling themselves into the car, Auden got them home quickly, as traffic had died down. Okay, her day didn’t go as she had originally planned. She planned to confess her feelings, but then Luca and everything happened and she couldn’t do it. It would have been different too if they didn’t plan to go away, Auden felt like Seraphina wouldn’t want to be stuck with her if she found out she was in love with her. So, she kept inside, and she didn’t know how long that would be for. The two made it up to their apartment, placing the food on the counter, and their new goodies in their respective rooms.

Auden walked from her room, standing in Seraphina’s doorway. [#75abba “Can you help me pack? I never know what to bring, and you always know what things I look good in or would be cute and comfy to wear.”] Auden said, a bit bashful. Auden knew she had no style, mostly wearing dark colors and sweaters to hide anything she wasn’t too excited to show off, which was all of her. But, the times Seraphina would dress her, she felt good. And if she wanted to impress her while they were away, this would be the best way.

[right[pic http://i.imgur.com/gubNYZV.jpg]]
Luca looked at his phone as it buzzed next to him, surprised to see a message from Gavin. He assumed he wasn’t going to talk to him until he got home, which he assumed would be later. He mentioned staying at a friend’s house, which he had been doing quite often. He was sure of it, Gavin was dating some girl and didn’t want to tell Luca. He had no idea why, he would be happy for him. But the next message struck a weird cord with him. Wanted to talk? And something important? Luca wasn’t the type to talk about his feelings, so something must be actually wrong for Gavin to want to talk. He wasn’t even aware anything had happened, Gavin just ran from the coffee shop without a word, maybe he’s talking about that. Whatever it was, they’d discuss it tomorrow.

Gavin’s text did make sense though, their storage room was awful. That’s why it was a storage room. He’d let Remedy stay in Gavin’s room, if she was comfortable, and then they could move down the storage stuff to the unit the next day, when Gavin came back. He sent the boy a message back, knowing he’d mostly likely get no reply.

[b [#1fa13b Thanks dude. Okay, we’ll talk tomorrow. Have a good night.]]

After responding to Gavin, another message came through from his sister. He couldn’t help but let a smile rise to his lips. That was definitely his sister. She had always been strong willed and very set in her ways, but she had a sensitive side too that she didn’t let out to most people. He could tell his girl really hurt her, and it made his blood boil thinking about it. He went to punch the wall, his usual way to release his anger, but stopped himself. He didn’t want his sister to see holes punched in his wall from her brother’s bursts of anger. He took a breath, and started typing a message back.

[b [#1fa13b Please be careful. And she seems like a bitch, forget her. Someone way better will come along anyway. Of course, you’re welcome. I’ll see you when you get here, I’ll have pizza waiting.]]

After a few hours, Luca made sure everything was ready for his sister. Luca was surprised when he looked into Gavin’s room. His room was immaculate, similar to Luca’s room. The two boys kept their spaces pretty clean, and he didn’t think his room would be like this. He wasn’t sure why, but he gave an approving smile over the room. Luca made sure to order pizza, assuming the girl would be hungry. He’d let her vent to him about what happened as long as she needed. Luca even surprised himself when he didn’t just drive down himself and scream at her girlfriend himself. But, he had been trying to let Remedy live her own life, and not be so protective over her. He hadn’t seen her in a while, since she moved so far away, so he was happy to have her with him.

The male got a text from her that she would be up in a little bit, so he finished everything else that needed to be done. [b [#1fa13b Do you need any help with your stuff? Just buzz up to me and I’ll let you in, Apartment 335.]] The pizza had come only a few minutes before, and he left it on the table to eat with her. He also ordered some of the snacks he knew she liked, and put them away as well. He wanted her to feel at home, especially after leaving such an awful place. He waited, pacing a bit around the apartment. He was excited to see her, but nervous too. He hadn’t seen her since her girlfriend, and having a relationship can really change a person.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina loved the idea of a cabin, but at the moment she wanted something not in the woods. She wrinkled her nose lightly and shook her head. [#cc6699 "Don't get me wrong, I love cabins, but for your other shoot the hotel room would be a lot better. The ones of you and I could be taken in the woods for sure. That and I want full blown running water, not a cabin where you have to do so many different things just to get running water to it"] she admitted. If it were any other time, she would be all for it.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She pulled her own phone out and turned it back on. As she was waiting for it to reboot, she kept eating. She made a mental note to come back here again. The food was amazing for sure. She then looked towards Auden and smirked. [#cc6699 "If we had a cabin, who's to say the power would work anyway? Then all of our food would go to waste, and I don't think either one of us would want that happening"] she said lightly. She then finished what she wanted of her meal.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 As the two were getting ready to leave, the waitress came back and Auden snapped a picture of the phone number and she smirked lightly. [#cc6699 "That's my girl"] she said with a grin. She helped gather up their things and went to the car. As Auden drove she pulled up some hotels out of town and she found the perfect one. She clicked into it, and read about the hotel itself. The rooms were cheap, and she found the perfect suite as well. It had a king size bed, and it would be perfect for pictures.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 When they had made it back to the apartment she helped lug everything inside. She then showed Auden what she had found. [#cc6699 "I think this would be the perfect room for sure. It's about eight hours away from here which I'm okay with. That and it's by some woods as well. The room is fucking amazing, and I think it'll be perfect for what you have in mind picture wise"] she said lightly. As the two talked it over, it was agreed upon they would get that room instead of the cabin. The blonde then pulled her card out.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She booked the room and grinned. [#cc6699 "Okay room is booked, we have enough time to pack up a couple of bags, and then hit the road. If you don't mind I would like to drive this time instead of you"] she cooed. She then headed to her room to pack her own bags. That's when she looked up and saw Auden standing there. She nodded lightly as she pushed herself up from the bed and walked over to the woman. She slid her arm around her waist and led her to her own room.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "You know I can't tell you no. That and I think you secretly like when I pull you out of your comfort zone as well"] she said with a grin. She then started going through Auden's closet and dresser. She tossed everything onto the woman's bed. When she had a weeks worth of clothes, bathing suits, and pajama's she turned and put her hands on her hips. She cocked her head to the side and broke out into a smile once more. [#cc6699 "Pack it all up, and let's get on the road"] she pretty much ordered.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She made her way back to her own room to finish packing. She tossed some of her favorite bathing suits into the bag, along with some night clothes, and normal clothes as well. She made sure she had tennis shoes too incase they went hiking after all. When she was done she zipped up her bag, went to get the ice chest and put the food inside of it. They would have to make a stop at a gas station first for ice, and then they could finally hit the road. She was getting more and more excited.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Make sure to lock up. I'm heading to the car"] she called out. She then made her way to the car, threw her things into the trunk and then slid in behind the wheel. She sat there debating on messaging Luca, but didn't. She had to be strong. She couldn't cave into that man quite yet. She would at least send him some pictures though just to tease him with it. She smirked a bit and waited for Auden to join her in the car.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Remedy sat in the car a while longer trying to gather herself. She couldn't let Luca know she had been crying. Then again he could pretty much read her like a book anyway. About ten minutes later she climbed out. She gathered up the little bags she had, and locked up the car. She slid her keys into her pockets as she walked. She buzzed up to Luca's apartment and waited for him to let her in. When the door clicked, she pulled it open and walked inside. The red head felt like she was coming home.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She took the elevator up to the right floor, and then found her brother's apartment. She knocked on the door and when he let her in the water works started all over again. She dropped her bags inside the door. She made sure the door was closed before she threw herself into her brother's arms. She clung to him like a small koala bear would to it's mother. She buried her face in his neck. [#E59866 "I fucking hate her Luca.. She fucking lied to me, and led me on this whole time"] she sobbed out, her whole body shaking.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She hadn't let herself fully break down before and it felt kind of nice. It was nice having the feeling of her brother's arms around her too. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and kept her legs around his waist. [#E59866 "What's wrong with me Luca...? Why can't I find someone to love me for who I am? I feel like I'm doing everything wrong..."] she said lightly. She leaned her head against his shoulder as she let her tears flow. When she finally relaxed a little bit, she finally untangled herself from the male.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She reached up and brushed the tears off her face. [#E59866 "I'm sorry.. Just seeing you made everything seem that much more real.. I've missed you though"] she said with a small sad smile. She meant it too. It was nice to see her brother again. It's been a good two years since she uprooted her whole life, and moved to be with the so called girlfriend. She had been alone out there, and she felt like she was finally home. That's when the smell of pizza hit her nose and her stomach growled loudly.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She didn't realize she had been that hungry until now. She walked over to the table and opened the box. She pulled a slice out and took a bite. She looked towards Luca again. [#E59866 "You look good. Thank you for letting me crash here for a while.. I honestly don't know what I would have done if you didn't"] she admitted. She then pulled out the chair and sat down. She took another bite, letting the silence wash over them both. She felt at a loss, and right now she wanted to eat and then go to bed.]]

The two officially agreed on the hotel room that Seraphina picked out. Auden was starting to get more and more excited about going away. And she was happy when Seraphina picked the room with the king sized bed, instead of two queen sized beds. She wished that at night, she could make her way over to Seraphina, wrap an arm around her waist and pull her in close to her, pressing kisses to the back of her neck before they went to bed. But, just being in the same bed was just as exciting to her. She agreed to let the other woman drive, happy because she has been driving around all day.

When she asked her about helping her pack, the woman obviously agreed. Auden felt her face heat up slightly when Seraphina’s arm slid around her waist. This is what she wanted, but all the time. She wanted to be able to hold her, put her hands on her hips, pulling her close into her. But was broken out of this day dream when she realized that Seraphina had already picked out a bunch of her clothes. She smiled, and thanked her before working on packing. She folded the clothes, putting them into her suitcase. She then grabbed her laptop and her camera bag as well, finding a spot for them both in her suitcase as well. She made sure to grab her tripod, and backup batteries for her camera as well.

Auden was grabbing last minute things, when she heard Seraphina yell that she was heading to the car. [#75abba “Okay! Almost done!”] she yelled, before grabbing her hairbrush and her makeup bag. If she was going to be IN her photos, she wanted to look nice. She grabbed her bag, and rolled it into the kitchen. It was weird being in the apartment without Seraphina. She took a deep breath, hoping that this week would go smoothly. She still had the idea of telling Seraphina how she felt, but she’d have to feel out the situation. Oh, who was she kidding. She could never tell her. Seraphina was way too good for her, and Auden just needed to accept it.

Auden locked the door to the apartment, and headed down to the lobby to meet up with Seraphina. She put her bag in the trunk, before sliding into the passenger side seat. She smiled toward her friend, [#75abba “Eight hours to go!”] she spoke, leaning back against the chair.

[b [center Three hours in…]]

Auden blinked quickly, realizing she had fallen asleep. She had an issue staying awake on long car rides, her body easily falling asleep. Embarrassed, her face heated up as she looked over to Seraphina. [#75abba “Sorry lady. I woke up really early this morning. But I’m completely awake now, so more naps.”] she smiled brightly. Looking over at Seraphina, the sun hitting her face through the window, she looked absolutely breathtaking. After staring over at her for far too long, she shook her head, and took her phone out. She plugged in her phone, playing some music for them to listen to, but kept it low so they could still talk over the music.

Auden was scrolling through her phone and came to the photo of the waitress' number in her phone. She pursed her lips, thinking what could be the worst thing if she did message her. Morticia was her name, and she was pretty cute as well. She turned to Seraphina, wanting her opinion on this. [#75abba “So, do you think I should message that waitress? She was cute, but what do I even stay to her? I haven’t done this kind of stuff in a long time. Oh, man, I am so lame.”] Auden smiled, placing a hand on her forehead and shook her head.

[#75abba “Oh yeah, how long do we have left before we get there?”] she asked, looking out on the open road, the text message to Morticia open and empty.

Luca buzzed his sister in, and soon after, he heard a knock at the door. He took a deep breath before opening the door. The sadness on her face hit him like a brick, and wanted to say something, but he did want to wait till she closed the door. But before he could say anything, his sister had jumped into his arms. He was a bit taken back, but held her up, wrapping his arms around her as well. He could feel her tears dampening his shirt, but it didn’t matter. He let his hand brush through her hair, a sigh coming through his lips. [#1fa13b “I know, I know. It’s okay, Rem.”] he spoke, as he tightened her grip on her as she shook, making sure he wouldn’t drop her.

When he pulled away to look at him, his face softened. Luca had a pretty bad resting asshole face, but his sister could make him turn into putty. [#1fa13b “Oh, nothing is wrong with you. You are going to find someone who will love and appreciate you just as you are.”] he said, letting her get her tears out. Even if his arms began to hurt, he wouldn’t put her down until she was ready. He just let her cry, looking down at her. It was nice to see his sister again, but he wished it didn’t have to be like this.

Luca set her down, letting her wipe her tears away. [#1fa13b “It’s alright Remedy. I missed you too. I’m glad you’re staying, we’ll get to catch up.”] he smiled. When he heard her stomach growl, he motioned to the table, letting her grab a piece of pizza before he did. He took a bite of his pizza as she sat down, and continued to speak. He lifted an eyebrow, a cheeky smile on his lips when she said he looked good. That stroked his ego a bit, even if it was his sister. [#1fa13b “Oh god, what else was I going to go? Let you live on the street. I might be an asshole, but I’m not that bad.”] he teased, trying to lighten the mood.

[#1fa13b “So, Gavin offered his room up for a little bit. Guess he’s staying with a friend. We’re gonna move the stuff out of the guest room tomorrow, and then you can set your stuff up in there. We can go shopping tomorrow and get you anything you need; you said you left some stuff there so I want to make sure you feel at home. And food too, whatever you want. You know I’m not the biggest cook, so I have a lot of frozen stuff already.”] Luca said, wanting to get her mind off of her breakup as much as he could. He assumed she’d just want to eat and go to sleep, as she just had a huge drive, an emotional rollercoaster she went through as well.

Luca thought about telling Remedy about his predicament with Seraphina, as she had always helped him with girls before. But she had JUST broken up with her girlfriend, now was probably not the best time. Luca thought maybe he’d give Seraphina a call later on tonight, they had been having calls every night. He didn’t know why he had gotten so mad at her for getting off the phone, and he was thinking that was what put this weird feeling between them. It had been going pretty well between the two of them. He let a sigh escape his lips, as he looked toward her. He let a smile pull to his lips, as he continued to eat his pizza slice.

[#1fa13b “So, is there anything that you need tonight? I can run out, or we can go together. But I’m cool if you want to wait ‘til tomorrow. And I’m thinking you just want to go to bed, but we could watch a movie if you want as well.”] Luca smiled, finishing the crust on his slice. He headed to the fridge, grabbing a beer. He took out a second one, [#1fa13b “You want one? I have hard seltzers as well.”] he smiled, looking toward her.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 While Auden slept it gave the blonde some time to really think about what was going on. She was confused about Luca, and she was kind of surprised she didn't have messages out the ass from the male. Maybe he was giving her the space she had asked for. Then again she couldn't help but wonder what and who he was with. It wasn't like they were a couple or anything, and she was feeling jealous over someone that wasn't even her's. She narrowed her eyes a bit kicking herself mentally for thinking like that. Maybe he was losing interest.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She didn't want the male to lose interest in her, because she sure as hell wasn't. She wanted to know him, feel him, kiss him, lay with him. She wanted to do everything you could think of with the male. Then again she also felt like he was the controlling type. That's something she didn't like. She didn't like feeling smothered either. She wanted her freedom, and she made a mental note to talk to the man about it later next week. For the time being she was needing to focus on Auden.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 It was kind of nice that the two of them were getting away for a little while. They were going to a place neither one of them had been too. That and Auden was going to be taking pictures as well. Something she loved doing. Maybe she could talk Luca into doing some couple shoots for Auden. She would talk to the woman about it sooner or later. When she heard Auden's voice she looked over towards her and grinned. [#cc6699 "No worries sleeping beauty. It gave me time to think about some things"] she admitted. She couldn't hide anything from Auden.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She dug around for her sun glasses, and when she found them she placed them on her nose. The sun was starting to set, and it was getting into a bad spot for driving. When Auden asked how long they had left she shrugged a bit. [#cc6699 "I wanna say five hours or so left. I know I'm going to be pulling off to fill up with gas here soon, and get something to eat as well. I'm getting really fucking hungry again"] she said with a small laugh. She was always hungry it felt like.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 As Auden turned on the music she shook her head and clicked off the radio. [#cc6699 "I'm kind of enjoying the silence honestly. It's helping me focus. I know that sounds odd but it is"] she said lightly. Normally she would have music on, but right now she didn't want that. It was kind of nice when Auden had been sleeping. That's when she saw the sign for an exit with gas stations, and food places as well. She made her way over, and when the exit arrived she took it. Finally she could get out.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She pulled into the first gas station she came too, and pulled up to one of the pumps. [#cc6699 "I'm gonna go inside and use the bathroom. I'm gonna grab some snacks as well as some coffee. I will also pay for the gas inside as well, get whatever you want. You've spoiled me enough today, it's my turn to spoil you"] she said as she shut the car off, and slid the keys into her pocket. She then climbed out and headed into the building. She smiled at the man behind the counter.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then made a bee line for the bathroom. She did her business, and then finished up quickly. She then walked out and found some snacks, and coffee. She also grabbed a couple bottles of Dr. Pepper as well. She then spotted her best friend. [#cc6699 "Did you get what you want?"] she asked. She then made her way to the counter to pay for everything. She made sure to pay for the gas as well. When the two were back out at the car, she pumped the gas, and then slid back behind the wheel to finish the last little bit of their long drive.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 It was nice to finally be around someone who really mattered. Even though she had been a total mess the moment she saw Luca. She knew the male wouldn't judge her, and he would always be there for her. That's the only good thing about their fucked up family. They would always have each other's back's no matter what. She reached for another slice as he spoke about Gavin letting her sleep in his room, and the shopping trip tomorrow. She took a bite and chewed before she swallowed and looked towards him and spoke softly.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#E59866 "I think I have everything I need for tonight. I might just steal some of your clothes to sleep in though, because I didn't really pack much clothes. I wanna shower tonight too if that's okay. I know we will be doing a lot of grunt work tomorrow, but a hot shower sounds amazing right now"] she admitted. It had been a long drive, and she felt dirty for some reason. As the two sat in silence for a moment, it gave her time to gather her thoughts a little bit. She bit the inside of her cheek lightly.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#E59866 "You have a really good friend Luca. You really do. I'm glad you found him when you did. I know I haven't been the best with talking, or coming around, and I apologize about that. You really are the only important thing in my life now, and I don't want to fuck it up again. I can't fuck it up again"] she said lightly. She had fucked everything else up in her life, and at one point pretty much ruined their relationship too. It had been a couple years since that happened, but it still ate at her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 When he offered her the beer she took it, and popped the top off. [#E59866 "Thank you. I needed this"] she said as she took a long swig from the bottle. The bitter tasting liquid hit her tongue, and she about spit it out. It's been awhile since she's had a beer. She didn't really drink much, and when she did it was always go hard, or go home. Tonight though was slightly different. She wasn't going to get shit faced. She wanted too, but there was a lot to do the next day, so she would watch herself.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 When he asked about the movie she shook her head lightly. [#E59866 "I think I'll shower, and then go to bed. I don't think I'll be able to really make it through a movie right now"] she said lightly. Even though it would be nice to spend more time with him. Right now she wanted to be alone, cry it out again in the shower, and then hopefully crash hardcore. She took another swig of the beer, and reached for a third slice of pizza. She as a lot hungrier than she thought she had been.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She sat there chewing slowly, letting her mind wander a bit. [#E59866 "You don't think Gavin would mind if I slept in his bedroom for a couple nights? Or am I needing to get everything done tomorrow?"] she asked. She adored Gavin, but she didn't want to intrude on his space either. If he was planning on coming home soon, she would crash on the couch if needs be. It wouldn't be the first time, and it sure as hell wouldn't be the last time either.]]

Auden nodded. [#75abba “Okay, no worries.”] she replied, unplugging her phone and placing it in her pocket. Auden just tapped softly on her leg as they drove, seeing as the woman was pulling off the next exit. The two got out, Auden shaking her head at how the girl wanted to spoil her. Auden wished she could spoil her all the time, be the one she wanted to come home to. And not in a roommate sense, in a girlfriend sense. Seraphina knew that Auden was attracted to women, but she wondered about her friend too. Would she just be wasting her time on a straight girl if she tried to push or pursue this further? She pushed the thought from her mind, maybe they could chat about it later, bring it up casually.

Auden wandered around the store, her hands in her pants pockets. She aimlessly milled through the aisles, grabbing different snacks that caught her eyes. But she felt distracted. Why? She should be thrilled to be locked away with her best friend for a week, but there was something missing? Was it because she was having second thoughts about waiting for her best friend? Maybe she was missing being in a relationship, maybe she needed to just get out there more. She sighed, scrolling to the waitresses number again, sending her a quick [b Hey. (: It’s the girl from the restaurant earlier.] text. Harmless, but something.

As Seraphina found her, she smiled toward her. Who was she kidding, there was no way she could get over the woman. She was an angel, but it was clear she most likely did not have a shot with her at all. She would most likely be with that guy, Luca, and Auden would just have to deal with it. But, she hid her thought behind a smile, [#75abba “Yup, got everything.”]

The two girls got their snacks and drinks paid for, Auden grabbing an ice tea before they left. Auden slid into the car while Seraphina filled the tank up, a sigh leaving her lips. She got a text back from the waitress, but she didn’t respond right away, give her a little push and pull. Seraphina slid in behind the wheel again, and the two continued on their journey. The silence wasn’t awkward, just peaceful as they drove along the highway, out of their normal town and into a new place to explore. Well, they probably wouldn’t do much exploring, as they would mostly be staying locally around the hotel room.

[#75abba “I know you wanted to drive, but it’s long. I don’t mind taking over for you, if you want a break. Just let me know.”] Auden spoke softly, pulling a leg underneath her. She let a hand rake through her hair, pulling any stray tangles out of her hair. [#75abba “Also, I texted that waitress, and she messaged me back. But now I don’t even know what to say.”]. Her text read, [b Oh wow, hi. I think I saw your name is Auden, right? Your name is almost as beautiful as you are.]. [#75abba “I can’t flirt, I’m so bad at it!”] she exclaimed, a teasing sigh leaving her lips.

[center [pic http://i.imgur.com/7Or5Quz.png]]
[right[pic http://i.imgur.com/gubNYZV.jpg]]

Luca nodded. He didn’t want to think about the two’s rough patch, not after they had already made up from it. It was a rough time in both of their lives, as they were kind of all each other had. Their parents didn’t have much to offer them anymore, so they just had each other, which was fine with Luca. He could handle himself, and he was excited to spend time with his sister. [#1fa13b “It’s not going to happen again, don’t dwell.”] he spoke. Don’t dwell, something their dad used to say…

But Remedy was right, Luca did have a good friend. Gavin was someone he considered more of a brother, but he hadn’t been treating him as such. Sometimes, he’s asshole tendencies got the best of him, and just caused him to lash on to the people he cared about, Gavin included. He should probably apologize for that. What was he saying, Luca Payne didn’t apologize. But to someone like Gavin, he might have to suck down his pride for a moment.

Luca popped open the top of his beer, taking a couple sips from it. [#1fa13b “I totally understand. And Gavin, I think, is coming by to grab some clothes, he is spending a few days at a friends house. So, I don’t see why not. I just want to clean out that spare room for you, I want you to be comfortable until you are back on your feet.”] Luca smiled, placing a hand on top of her head. [#1fa13b “I’ll get you some clothes to wear to bed.”] he said, wandering to his room.

As Luca pulled out clothes for Remedy to wear to sleep, his mind wandered to Seraphina. He was a little concerned, it was getting late and he had barely heard from her all day. He probably should say something, just to check in. After getting her a pair of his sweats, that would be way too big, along with a shirt that would also be too big, he pulled his phone out.

[b Hey Seraphina. How are you? I’ve been thinking a lot about earlier, and I’m sorry I sprung that question at you out of nowhere. But I’d like to have our usual phone call tonight, if you can. (: ]. He hoped she’d answer him, he was distracted as he sent the message as he reentered the kitchen. He looked up, handing the clothes to Remedy. [#1fa13b “They should work, but they’ll be pretty big.”] he smiled, before looking at his phone once more, before going back to his seat.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 While the woman was waiting for the gas pump to be done she felt her phone buzz in her pocket and she pulled it out and saw that it was Luca. So he was thinking about her after all. A small smile passed over her lips as she thought about leaving him on read. She then hurried and typed out a reply. [#cc6699 [i I don't think I'll be able too tonight. Auden and I agreed no phones. I'll see what we have planned tomorrow and if we aren't that busy I'll call you then.]] she bit her lip lightly.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She read over the message a couple of times and then hit send. She wished she could call him, but today and the rest of the week was to be with her and Auden only. Maybe she could escape tomorrow and give him a call like she promised. She did miss the male's voice. Maybe by then she would have an answer for him. Then again, she might just make him wait until she got home and was back to normal. She was somewhat torn, but knew better than to keep him waiting much longer.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina waved the offer off. [#cc6699 "I'm perfectly fine with driving. You relax for the time being. We shall be at the hotel soon anyway"] she said with a warm smile. She then turned her eyes to the road and smirked a bit. So Auden finally messaged her. She turned to the woman and broke out into a smile. Seraphina was good in the flirting department without trying. She thought about helping Auden, but at the same time she wanted to go back to the no phone's rule. Maybe they should have gone out of cell range after all.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Well if you'd like, I will be more than happy to help you with that. I won't text her for you, because it has to come from you after all. I mean if you wanna talk to her this week you are more than welcome too, but I was kind of hoping to have a no phone's rule this week.. I know it might be asking for too much, but I want to just focus on you and I this week. It's been a while since you and I have done something like this."]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "I just don't want to get distracted with the outside world this week. It's kind of nice just spending time with you, and only you. I know we talked about doing the pictures, and I'm all over that one. You know I can't turn you down on that one. I mean we can check phones at least once a day for maybe an hour, but that's about it. What do you think?"] she asked. She didn't want to be too demanding, but hearing that Auden was trying to flirt with the waitress, kind of made her jealous.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 That was new for her. She's never felt that kind of thing over Auden before. She kept her mouth shut as she waited for the woman to speak her mind about what she had said. As the time passed, she didn't realize she was speeding, and the hotel was at least twenty minutes away. She smiled sheepishly as she looked towards Auden once more. [#cc6699 "Whoops, maybe you should drive on the way home. Because if I drive, I think we might get pulled over. I'm surprised we didn't on the way here"] she said with a small laugh.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Every once in a while she would be a speed demon, and this was one of those times. The hotel was in view a little bit later, and she pulled into the parking lot. She kept the car running as she climbed out and went to check in. When everything was in order, she was back in the car and handed the keys over to Auden. She pulled around to the back and parked. [#cc6699 "We are on the third floor in room 3217."] she said lightly. She shut the car off and slid the keys in her pocket.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then climbed out and grabbed their things. It wasn't that late, and the sun had finished setting. She carried her things to the room, and she took a key from Auden and opened the door. She walked into the room and her breath caught in her throat. [#cc6699 "What the fuck? The room is even better than the pictures!"] she said with a grin. She dropped her things on the floor, and threw herself onto the king size bed. She let out a small sigh as she looked towards Auden and grinned.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "This is going to be the best week either one of us have ever had"] she said as she pushed herself onto her elbows. She kicked off her shoes and stood. She walked over to the window and looked out. She could see the pool from the room, and then the woods beyond that. This place was breath taking, and she couldn't wait to explore the woods in the next couple of days.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 That's the thing she loved about Luca. No matter how many times she fucked up, he would always brush it off and things would be back to normal. She smiled her thanks when he told her he would get her some clothes. She would have to get some clothes shopping done, since she had pretty much left a lot of her clothes with her ex. Thinking about the woman seemed to dampen her mood once more. She shook her head when Luca came back and handed her the clothes. She shrugged a bit and tossed her hair over her shoulder.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#E59866 "I'd rather them be big instead of form fitting. Plus with Gavin being around, I don't want him getting the wrong idea. I don't know if he knows I'm fully lesbian, but I don't want to hurt the male."] she said lightly. She meant it too. Gavin was such a good guy, she didn't want him thinking he had shot with her. She didn't like men period. She hadn't liked men since she was sixteen years old. That's when she had told her parents about it, and they freaked out on her and almost kicked her out.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She didn't like the fact all of the memories were coming back right then. She sighed lightly as she finished her beer, and then stood. She cleared off the plates and threw the bottle away. [#E59866 "If you don't mind, that shower is calling my name. Can we leave around ten tomorrow morning? With all the stores we have to go too, I kind of want to get an early start. Because then we can be home the rest of the day and get everything moved, or at least started since Gavin's not gonna be around"] she said.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She walked back over to the table and picked up the clothes from Luca. She wrapped her arms around them, and looked towards her brother. [#E59866 "I can't thank you enough for taking me in. I promise I will be looking for a job, and until then I will keep up with the cleaning of the apartment, and the cooking. That's until I can get a job, and then after that we can figure something else out"] she said lightly. She wasn't planning on staying for months on end. At least she hoped she wouldn't be.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She didn't want to be a burden on her own brother and his friend. She walked over and kissed his cheek lightly. [#E59866 "I love you Luca"] she said lightly and then hugged him lightly. It was nice having someone in her corner for a change. This time she wasn't having to fight anything alone. She had support from someone, and that's all she needed to help get the healing process started right away.]]

When Seraphina brought up the no phones rule once again, Auden shrugged. She didn’t want to seem too excited she’d be getting all of her attention. [#75abba “That’s fine. I’ll tell her I’m busy, so she won’t think I’m an asshole and just left her on read. Besides, you’re much more interesting to me than anyone else. No one really texts me except for you, so an hour a day sounds like more than enough. Just to check my emails about appointments.”] Auden smiled. She was happy to give all of her time and attention to the gorgeous woman, easily.

Auden did notice the car moving quicker than before, and soon, the two of them were only a couple of minutes away. [#75abba “Okay, speed racer. I’ll drive home, I’d like to get home in one piece.”] she teased, before leaning back in her seat, cracking open her ice tea and taking a few sips. She was ready to just escape for a few days, they both knew it was well-needed.

Once they arrived, she let Seraphina check them in. She had made the reservation, so it was only fair. Plus, she could leave the car running. Auden opened her phone, looking at the message the waitress sent her. [#75abba [i Thank you, yes it’s Auden (: I’m gonna be super busy this week with a friend of mine. I might be able to talk here and there, but not very much. Just so you don’t think I’m ignoring you. Have a great day, okay?]]. The girl on her phone responded quickly, [b No worries at all, beautiful. Whenever you can.]. Auden couldn;t even contain her blush, which hadn’t actually happened for anyone but Seraphina in a long time. She turned the phone off, before sliding her phone in her pocket, a sigh escaping before Seraphina returned.

As they arrived at their room, Auden agreed, it was beautiful. She laughed as the girl left all her things at the door, running to the bed. She shook her head before leaving her things over to the side, moving the other woman’s things as well. [#75abba “You picked well. This is amazing.”] she smiled, one hand on the back of her head. She stretched a bit, stiff after their long car ride. Auden even began putting their food away in the mini-fridge they had in their room.

Auden pulled off her boots before joining Seraphina at the window. The view was amazing, a few pictures in the woods would be amazing, as well as pictures in their hotel room. It looked like something someone would rent out for a shoot, so it was perfect. [#75abba “Best week ever.”] she agreed, letting her eyes gaze at her face for a few extra seconds. [#75abba “So, what do you want to do first? It looks like there is so much to do. I mean, it is kind of late now, so maybe just some movies? We can order out if you like?”] she asked.

[#75abba “So, tell me…”] Auden started, sitting on the bed, her legs crossed in front of her. [#75abba “What have I missed in your life thus far? I know I’ve been super busy with shoots, so I’m happy to take this time to be with you. But, lay it on me. What’s been going on?”] Auden asked. She mainly wanted to get the scoop on this Luca character, but she’d take anything. This weekend was for them.

Luca sighed at her response. Why was she so busy with her roommate, of all people? It wasn’t that she was busy that really bothered her, it was that roommate of hers. And that kind of was the reason he reached out to Remedy in the first place. To help him distract the roommate, give him more time with Seraphina. But his sister was hurting now, he needed to give her some time. He was an asshole, for sure, but not to his little sister.

Luca laughed, [#1fa13b “I don’t know. I think he has a girlfriend he’s not telling me about. He’s been going to a ‘friends’ house a lot lately, I don’t why he won’t tell me. But besides, you’re my sister. I’d kill him if he tried to touch you. But I also think he knows you’re a lesbian, so I know he wouldn’t try anything.”] he replied, before looking at his phone once more. He sighed, sending her a message, [#1fa13b [i Okay, just let me know, beautiful.]] He sent his message leaning back in his chair.

When she mentioned tomorrow, he nodded. [#1fa13b “Sure thing. Whatever you what.”] he smiled at her, handing her the clothes he grabbed. When she spoke about letting her stay here, he waved her off. [#1fa13b “Please, it’s really not an issue. Hell, I’ve missed you. I’m happy you’re here, not the best circumstances, but happy to at least see you. You know I’d do anything for you.”] Luca smiled. That was true, he would. He would have picked her up from that awful apartment if he had known, he’d do whatever she needed.

[#1fa13b “I love you too. The shower handles are a little finicky, so let me know if you need help.”] he smirked, accepting and returning her hug. Luca agreed, he needed a shower too. He would let Remedy first, and went into his room, pulling out some sweatpants to sleep in. He leaned on his counter, sighing as he thought about Seraphina.

Why was he so into her? Why did he want her so bad? He knew there were girls who paid him to date them, yet, he wanted this girl who was so independent. Usually that was not type, but it was all he wanted right now. She was all he wanted. He heard the water turn on, a smile as she got the handles to work. Remedy was a smart girl, beautiful and kind. He knew she’d make another girl really happy, but she needed to find the right girl. Maybe Auden could be that for her. He hoped, at least.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina felt kind of bad that she had let Auden put everything away. She was too excited to check the room out in the first place. When they were both back on the bed she cocked her head to the side. [#cc6699 "I think movies would be great. Maybe ordering a pizza as well. Maybe finding a place with milkshakes? I don't know, I'm not too picky at the moment"] she said lightly as she tossed her hair over her shoulder. She heard her phone go off and she checked the message from Luca and her heart skipped a beat.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 What was it about him that drew her in? Something about him made her want to break that shell he had. That's when Auden asked her about her life and she rolled her eyes a bit and shut her phone off, tossing it into the middle of the bed. She then shifted and crossed her legs Indian style under her. She didn't know where to really start, but starting with work would be the best thing anyway. [#cc6699 "Well work's been hell pretty much. We lost yet another employee, and everyone has added stress"] she said lightly.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "It's not like I don't enjoy work, I just wish our management team would realize what's going on. I know it's just teaching, but it's a lot for one person to do"] she said as she shrugged her shoulders a bit. She then thought about Luca, and wondered how much she should tell Auden about him. She had the feeling the woman didn't like him, and she couldn't blame her. He was kind of difficult to handle, and she was having a hard time with it as well. She bit her lip lightly thinking.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Then this whole Luca thing. I don't know what to really do about it. He seems like a really good guy, but with the fact he pretty much thinks he own's me. I've gotten the feeling he doesn't like the fact I'm spending my whole week with you. I did tell him I wouldn't be talking to him much and I felt like he wasn't happy about it. I'm sorry, but I've known you longer than I've known him, and our friendship is more important to me than some fucking boy"] she said her temper rising a bit.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Don't get me wrong, he's nice to look at. We haven't slept together yet, but I don't know if we will. I mean I haven't been laid in a while, and it would kind of be nice to have that feeling once more. But at the same time I feel smothered by him as well. I feel like he's trying to control me, and who I spend my time with. I don't want someone like that in my life. I mean I want to give him a chance, but I don't know what to do"]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "I love the fact we call each other every night, he call's me beautiful, and he's willing to focus his attention on me. At least I hope he does. But I've seen him a couple of times flirting with women when he's been with me. I hate that, like why are you trying to be with someone, when you flirt with other's? I just feel confused about what to do Auden.. I don't want to miss out getting to know him, but at the same time I don't want the controlling either"] she said with a sigh.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then flopped back onto the bed and put her arm over her eyes. She was torn between everything. She wanted things to go back to the way it had been when they first started talking, but then again did she really want that? She uncovered her eyes and looked towards Auden once more. [#cc6699 "I think we need a lot of booze this week as well. I don't know how much longer I can handle talking about Luca"] she admitted. She laid there and smiled a bit at the woman beside her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Ya know, I'm glad you understand me so well. You and I were meant to cross path's the way we did, and I'm so glad our bond is strong. Thank you for everything Auden, I mean it. If I could repay you for everything I would. You really are the most important person in my life right now, and I love you for it"] she said as she reached out and took the woman's hand in her own. She smiled a bit as she fell silent waiting for Auden to add in her thoughts about everything, and the idea of getting booze.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 When Remedy was done in the shower she shut the water off, and climbed out. She grabbed a towel and dried herself off the best she could before wrapping the towel around herself. She then slipped out of the bathroom and into Gavin's room. She shut the door behind her and moved over to the bed. She sat down and reached for her bag. She unzipped it and pulled her phone out. She saw she had a couple of messages and her heart skipped a beat. Was it her so called ex messaging her? What was she gonna do?]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She opened the messages and read them. Sure enough they were from her. [b [i I'm so sorry Remedy.. I fucked up.. I want you to come home, and we can patch things up. Please? I won't ever hurt you again. I need my life back, I want to get married once more. Please baby? I need you.]] Remedy read the messages over and over and felt tears well up in her eyes. She knew it was all lies, and a part of her wanted to go back and try again. She knew better though.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She wasn't going to fall for the lies. She hit the reply button and started typing. [#E59866 [i You fucked everything up. You cheated on me the whole time. Told me lies, and made me believe you were all about me. Now that I'm gone, you have no one to come home too. Your mistress or whatever the fuck she was doesn't want you anymore, and you are just trying to get into my head and get me to come back. Well it's not going to happen. I'm finally working on getting into a better mind space.]]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#E59866 [i Luca has taken me in, and he's helping with the healing process. I'm already talking to someone new as well. She's making me feel like a real person, and someone who deserves the world. You are nothing to me, and I wish you nothing but the best but I'm not going to be apart of your life. Now leave me alone, and hopefully you realize you had the best of the best, and you let that slip right through your fingers.]] She read the message and then hit send. Maybe it wasn't right to even reply.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 It was too late now. She then blocked the number, and deleted the messages. She deleted all of the pictures of the two of them. She shivered lightly realizing she still wasn't dressed. She hurried and dried herself off and got dressed. She then hung the towel on the back of a chair. Even though her hair was still wet she didn't care. She found her head phones, plugged them into her phone and turned on her music. She grabbed her charger as well and plugged it in. She set her alarm for the next morning as well.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then slid into the bed and laid there in the dark flipping through songs. Soon enough she got tired enough to fall asleep. She put her phone on the stand, kept her headphones in and let sleep wash over her. She had a busy day ahead of her tomorrow, and she needed the sleep.]]

Auden sighed. She should have known most of her life now consisted of Luca, the last person she wanted to talk about. She had a bad feeling about him, something in her gut, but her friend really liked him. She knew she probably didn’t like him because she was hopelessly in love with her, so she kept her feelings quiet. She nodded, listening to the things she said about him. But she wasn’t mad. They both hadn’t had any sexual contact with anyone in some time. And she felt the same way. She wanted to feel that way again, and it just made her think of being that way with Seraphina. It made her face heat up, so she hid her cheeks in her hand. She could do all the things that she wanted him to do. Hell, they already lived together.

[#75abba “Just date me, it’d be way easier anyway.”] Auden teased, hoping to lighten the mood. If Seraphina ever questioned her, she’d just laugh it off. She didn’t even know if Seraphina liked girls that way, she had always dated men, and she never came out to her or anything. [#75abba “Would ever date a woman? I mean, you’ve never mentioned it before but I’ve had...uh...friends who have mentioned having crushes on you…”] she asked. She couldn’t even bring herself to ask for herself, but she needed to know.

As the woman mentioned booze, Auden was all in. [#75abba “Oh, please. I’d love to get drunk.”] Auden smiled. When Seraphina spoke about her, Auden smiled. [#75abba “I love you too, Seraphina. You have been such a lifesaver to me, and I’m so happy you are in my life. I just want you to be happy, that’s all I could ever ask for.”] Auden smiled. She took hold of Seraphina’s hand back, laying back next to her.

Auden thought back to getting booze, and wondered what would happen. Auden was clearly head over heels for Seraphina, and didn’t want to let the booze influence her actions. Auden was an affectionate drunk, but she had been held back from Seraphina in the past. But the two of them alone, anything could happen. Auden, honestly, would do these things to Seraphina sober, but she never had the confidence to even tell her she had feelings for her. In fear of losing her best friend forever. She had been the only person who never asked her if she had a crush on her, even if she prayed this one person would ask her.

Auden rolled onto her side, looking over at the woman. The lights that showed through the window reflexed off of Seraphina’s face. She was gorgeous, absolutely amazingly beautiful. Auden took out her phone; finding a pizza place that had milkshakes, down the street from a liquor store. [#75abba “This place looks perfect. And milkshakes for you. What would you like?”] she asked, before putting in her own order of a small margarita pizza and a cookies and cream milkshake.

Auden sat up, stretching her arms up before standing up. [#75abba “I’ll order, and then we should go. We can pick up liquor first, and then the food.”] Auden smiled, taking her hand to help the women up. Their bodies close and the woman stood up, Auden still holding her hand. She smiled at her, a bit longer than she should have, before letting go of her soft hand.

[right[pic http://i.imgur.com/gubNYZV.jpg]]
Luca sighed, and after Remedy got out of the shower, he went to the bathroom. He got undressed, and quickly got into the shower. He cleaned off, rethinking the day in his head. How he awkwardly asked Seraphina to be his girlfriend in a coffee-shop, dumb. Then trying to apologize over text, also dumb.

As much as he was a player, he was bad when it came to flirting. Most girls didn’t care too much about how good he was at talking or how much he really had in his brain. They usually just cared about how good he looked, and he could coast through relationships in that way. But, he knew what most girls wanted to hear, and that usually worked too. But everything was different with Seraphina, and that’s why he was so invested in her. She was different, there was something different.

Luca thought back to what Gavin said, he had to do all the things he never dreamed of doing. He had to work hard, make her feel special and woo her. Maybe Remedy could help him, because he knew he sucked at doing things like that. But, she was away anyway, and he had no idea where. He had to wait, so maybe he could figure out what he could do. Maybe he could use this time to figure out how to woo her, “play the game” as Gavin had called it.

Luca finished his shower, getting out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist. He looked at his phone, a text from a girl he had hooked up with a couple of months ago, inviting him to a party. He’d love to go, but he knew that pictures would be taken and Seraphina would see them, so he declined. It was so unlike him to do this, was he going soft for this woman or something? He sighed, pulling on a pair of sweatpants, before getting into his bed, laying down. He never heard back from Seraphina, so she was either asleep or busy. He sent her a quick [i[#1fa13b Good night, Seraphina.]] before just going back to scrolling on his phone, until his sleep took him over.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina looked towards Auden and grinned when she agreed to the booze. When she mentioned dating her, she thought she caught some type of truth in her words. She brushed it off at the moment, and would bring it up later. Was she even attracted to women in that way? Auden made her start thinking about it, and that's never a good thing. Because now it was going to bug the living shit out of her, until she figured it out. When milkshakes were mentioned at a pizza place she raised a 'brow slightly. That was new.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She thought about it a moment before speaking. [#cc6699 "A mint chocolate chip shake sounds amazing, with a pepperoni and black olive pizza. Two of my weaknesses"] she said with a small laugh. The pizza place, and liquor store weren't that far from their hotel either. It would be nice to walk there and back, instead of taking the car. She slipped off the bed, and when she stood she realized how close she had been to Auden, and her heart seemed to skip a beat. She hadn't been this close to the woman before in her life.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She was a couple inches taller than the other, but not much. It was kind of nice to look in her eyes for a change. She hurried and turned her gaze away. She was interested in someone else, and she wasn't that into women. Or was she? Was it something she didn't really think about? Or was it because she was scared to admit it? There were so many questions running around in her head just then, she couldn't really think straight. She took a breath and stepped back from the woman, putting a little space between them.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then realized she hadn't answered her best friend about the liking women thing. She shrugged a bit as she moved to where her shoes were, and she bent down to slip them onto her feet. [#cc6699 "Honestly, I never really thought about it. I mean I think I'm attracted to both genders. Women have something more gentle about them, the way they look, the way they feel, the way they touch you it's a lot less rough than when a man touches you. As for the crushes, I really doubt that, I'm a bitch remember?"] she said laughing.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 There had been times when she had bitten people's heads off for speaking to her or Auden wrong. She didn't take people's shit, and she sure as hell wouldn't stand for it either. When she as done, she made sure to grab one of the hotel keys, and slid it into her wallet for safe keeping. She wasn't going to worry about her phone since it was off for the time being. She made sure she had the car keys though just in case. [#cc6699 "Let's go"] she said as she waited for the other.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then hooked her arm with Auden's as they walked out of their room and outdoors. The sun was starting to set and it was breath taking. [#cc6699 "I'm so glad you and I came. It's amazing here, and I honestly feel like you and I both needed this getaway from everyone, and everything for a while"] she said lightly. Her mind then went back to what Auden had said about her being a life saver, and for being in her life. She stopped and tucked some of Auden's hair behind her ear locking her eyes with her own.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "You've saved me more times than I can count. You are really important to me, and I would just lose my shit if I ever lost you. You came into my life at the right time, and I can't thank God enough for bringing you to me"] she said lightly. She meant it too. They have been through so much together, that it's not even funny. She smiled lightly as she turned her attention forward once more. She then made her way to the liquor store and headed inside. There were lines upon lines of booze.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Choose something out, cause I have the perfect wine in mind"] she said as she went to find it. When she did she held it up for the other to see. It was her favorite. It was a Chardany, and it was a really pretty rose gold color. It tasted amazing chilled as well. She then went to the checkout line and waited for Auden. She was getting more and more hungry as the time passed. She couldn't wait to get the booze in her system, along with the pizza and milkshake.]]

Auden took note of Seraphina’s order, putting it into the online ordering system, and using her saved payment in her phone to pay for it. She slid her feet to the floor, standing up in front of the woman. As much as this was something for both of them, this trip, Auden wanted to be able to show Seraphina what being with her would be like. Auden knew she’d spoil her more often than she already did, show her off when they went out, be a personal photographer whenever she wanted, and make sure she felt loved every second. She tried to do these things as a friend, but she knew they’d intensify if she ever got the guts to ask her out.

But, the woman liked Luca, she didn’t even believe she had a chance. Seraphina didn’t seem certain she was interested in women, but the fact that she wasn’t against it was a good sign. She had always accepted Auden, so she knew the idea didn’t scare her away. [#75abba “Oh stop. You’re not a bitch. Far from it, in my opinion.”] Auden spoke.

Seraphina was no stranger to standing her ground and standing up to people, for herself and for Auden. Auden had always been more reserved, and she loved that Seraphina was always there for her, no matter what the circumstance would be. Auden slid her boots back onto her feet, before grabbing a hotel key for herself as well. She had her phone, in case of an emergency, but it was on ‘Do Not Disturb’, as Seraphina requested no phones. She smiled as she prompted her to go, and followed behind her.

The view outside was beautiful, she almost wished she had her camera on her. [#75abba “I’m glad we did this, too. I know we needed a break from our town. Sometimes it’s so small it’s suffocating.”] Auden smiled, loving the closeness of the two. As they continued walking, Seraphina spoke again.

Seraphina’s words made her face heat up. [#75abba “I feel the same way. It’s like we were made for eachother”]. Auden hoped her words didn’t make Seraphina read into it too much, but she meant every word. Almost all of Auden’s friends had asked time and time again if the two were a couple, or if anything ever happened. Auden always had to say no, that they would always be just friends. Even if she wanted more, she valued their friendship more than a silly crush. But, if the tables ever turned, she would happily indulge.

The liquor store was huge, and she left Seraphina off to find the wine she wanted. Auden needed something harder, but something she could drink easily. She found some premixed cocktails, sp she wouldn’t have to buy mixers or anything, and they seemed pretty high in alcohol content too. She grabbed two different kinds, a Watermelon Punch and a Mai Tai. She found Seraphina already checked out at the front, and paid for her drinks. She was ready to get drunk off her ass with pizza and milkshakes.

The two left the store, and easily found the pizza place. They had an ice cream store attached, which is how the offered milkshakes as well. Auden told the the name the pizza was under and they brought it right out, along with their milkshakes. [#75abba “Can you hold my bag from the liquor store, and I’ll balance the pizza and milkshakes?”] Auden asked. She took the pizzas and milkshakes in her hands, and the two made their way back, making small talk about the pizza place and the cashier who tried to pick up both of them, bringing them to laughter.

Auden set down their food, and grabbed the ice bowl. [#75abba “Let me fill this up, I’ll be right back”] she smiled, heading down the hall. She needed the alcohol. It felt like she was feeling more and more attracted to the woman and hoped the alcohol would help, or give her an excuse. She brought the full ice bowl back, setting it on the counter. [#75abba “I don’t know about you, but I need a drink”] she teased, putting some ice and her Watermelon Punch in her cup. [#75abba “Help yourself to my drinks too”] she smiled, taking a sip of her drink. She could tell it was strong, but at least it tasted good. Dangerous.

Auden grabbed their pizza’s and headed to bed. [#75abba “So, maybe work on our photoshoot tomorrow? I can’t wait to see how good you look in those things you picked out. You barely showed me what you got! ”] Auden teased, taking another sip of her punch.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 The walk was beautiful, and the conversation flowed normally. As the two were making their way to the pizza parlor after the liquor store she broke out into a smile. It was a good feeling to have someone like Auden in her life. The two had clicked so well, that it sometimes scared her. When they got the food and milkshakes, she took the bag from Auden and they made their way back to the hotel room. Once inside, Auden said she would get the ice. The woman was doing too much, and not letting her do anything.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She thought about bringing out one of the pieces she had bought and changing while Auden was out. Maybe she could talk the woman doing the same thing. They might as well be comfortable. She put that thought aside as she looked up when Auden came back. She moved over to the bed milkshake in hand, and she crossed her legs under her. [#cc6699 "The photoshoot sounds wonderful tomorrow. I think we should do it around sunset, get the sun filling the room and making it look even better"] she offered. She was getting excited for this.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She reached for one of the mixed drinks Auden offered, and she filled a cup with ice and poured the drink over it. She then took a sip and let out a small sigh. [#cc6699 "I've always loved these, because you can't taste the bitter alcohol inside of it. That's the dangerous part, you can get easily addicted"] she said lightly. She didn't drink much, but wine and the mixed drinks were her go to for sure. She opened her pizza box and pulled out a piece of pizza. She took a bite and groaned.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She felt like a fat kid right now. She didn't care though. She was in a quiet place with her best friend, and they've somewhat had a deep talk already. She cocked her head to the side and smirked lightly. She had something on her mind, and she was dying to see Auden in one of the skimpy outfits. [#cc6699 "I think we should put one of them on now. Get comfortable for the night"] she said lightly taking another bite. She put the slice back into the box and stood. She walked over to her bag and unzipped it.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She pulled out the one for Auden and tossed it at her. [#cc6699 "You will look amazing in this, and I honestly want to see you in it"] she said lightly as she pulled out her light blue one and set it aside. She then zipped her bag back up and grabbed the panties and bra set. She then went into the bathroom and changed. She dropped her dirty clothes onto the floor, and looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't help but wish Luca was here, behind her, his hands on her skin exploring her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She shook her head lightly as Auden's face popped up just then. She hurried and pulled the bra on and hooked it. She then slid into the panties as well, and looked at herself in the mirror once more. She tilted her head to the side and smirked. She looked amazing in it, and she couldn't wait to show Luca when they got home. She picked up her clothes and walked out of the bathroom. [#cc6699 "What do you think?"] she asked as she threw her clothes into the corner of the room. The set showed a lot.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She nodded towards the bathroom and crawled back onto the bed. She picked up the glass with the mixed drink in it and took another long drink from it. She could feel a small buzz coming on as well. [#cc6699 "Wear the pretty grey one, it'll look amazing on you"] she cooed lightly. She then picked up her pizza again and took another bite. So far the night was going pretty well. At least she thought it was anyway.]]

Auden smiled. [#75abba “I was thinking the same thing! At like, Golden Hour, when the sun is almost setting but it streams in through the windows. You are gonna look absolutely amazing, as always.”] Auden spoke, as she took another sip of her mixed drink. She could already feel the effects hitting just a little bit, and she agreed with Seraphina. [#75abba “These usually are what would get me drunk, I can stand the taste of liquor without the mixers in them.”] she replied. Auden was never a big drinker, but if she could drink something that didn’t taste like alcohol, she was in trouble. She was an affectionate drunk, and she didn’t seem to care who it was with.

But that’s when things took a turn she wasn’t expected. The lingerie, now? Auden was very happy being fully clothed, and that’s why Seraphina was pushing her. Auden almost never wore anything that would show off her body, the closest thing she got was a bathing suit, and she always wore as much as she could. Auden was well endowed, and was never a fan of what people would say to her, so she kept herself hidden for the most part. But she knew that was why she was getting asked to put it on. Seraphina loved to push Auden out of her comfort zone. [#75abba “I-I guess we could.”] she spoke, before downing more of the liquid in her cup. She would need it for this.

Auden put down her slice of pizza and took hold of the set she had thrown her. It was a grey bralette and pair of panties, cut to sit very high, showing off lots of skin. Something she never ever would wear, but for Seraphina, anything. When Seraphina left to change, Auden was alone with her thoughts. Maybe, she could test the waters between the two of them. Auden knew if she ever had a small bit of chance to touch, or kiss, Seraphina, she’d take it. But, she hoped it would be received well. And Auden didn’t know how well she’d be able to hold back with her in some skimpy outfit.

When she came out, Auden’s face became hot. She looked amazing. She was so sexy, alluring even. The woman had an incredible body, and just seeing her in that made her want to run over and kiss her. Show her what it feels like to be with a woman. Show her how amazing it is to be loved and pleasured by a woman. It’s all she wanted, but all she could get out was. [#75abba “Wow…”] she spoke, before coughing, [#75abba “I mean, you look amazing! It looks great on you!”] she smiled, standing up with her set. She made her way to the bathroom, [#75abba “Guess it’s my turn.”].

Auden pulled on bralette, it was clearly made for looks more than anything. It took her chest together and up, and made her look bigger than she already was. The bottoms were softer at least, and sat comfortably on the bottom. If anyone was going to see her in something like this, she was glad it was Seraphina. Other girls would get the wrong idea, thinking she was something she wasn’t. This kind of thing wasn’t like her at all, but she had to admit, she looked and felt really good in it. And she was happy to show off to Seraphina.

Auden grabbed her clothes, folding them haphazardly, and carried them in front of her, before putting them in a separate corner than the other woman did, before turning to face her. Her face felt hot, and probably was burning red as well. Her hair fell a bit, covering her eyes. She wasn’t embarrassed or nervous about Seraphina, it was her own body in general. She knew Seraphina would be kind, even if she hated it. But, she was a bit curious what she would say, as she never wore clothes like this. [#75abba “So, what do you think?”] she asked, spinning in a small circle around herself.

Auden then grabbed her cup, emptying it into her mouth before going in for a refill. She knew, to get through the two of them dressed like this, alcohol was a necessity. She refilled her cup with the same drink she started with, before crawling back into bed, taking another bite of pizza. [#75abba “Honestly, this would be a good shot now. Looking like this with the pizza and stuff, it’d be a super comfy cozy shot. And I have the rig--. Sorry, I’ll stop.”] she spoke, a smile on her face. Auden had a bad habit of making everything a photoshoot if she could. [#75abba “Could I take a few? Would you mind?”] she asked, taking a sip of her drink and a couple more bites of her slice.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina's mind was racing. The booze was already making an effect on her. She couldn't wait to see Auden in the outfit, and she sure as hell wanted to snap a couple of pictures of her for a change. She then grabbed her phone and set it beside her. She knew that Auden liked what she had seen too. She loved wearing clothing like this. She was comfortable in her own body, and she sure as hell wasn't going to let something or someone ruin that mood for her. She wanted Auden to feel the same way as well.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She had finished her first drink and had poured herself another one when the bathroom door opened. She looked towards Auden as she set her clothes aside. She looked the woman up and down and she licked her lower lip lightly. [#cc6699 "You look amazing. I'm surprised you don't own more of those outfits. Auden you have the perfect body for it too"] she said looking her up and down. She meant it too. She looked amazing, and another thought passed through her drunk mind as well .Auden would look even better fully naked.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 That thought seemed to catch her off guard and her heart hammered inside of her chest. She shook her head lightly as she watched Auden slide back onto the bed, talking about taking pictures right now. A small smile passed over her lips as she lifted her phone for the other to see. [#cc6699 "Why don't you let me take some of you for a change? I know you don't like when other's touch your camera, and I'm okay with that. You look amazing, and I need some new wallpapers anyway"] she said lightly. She didn't really know what she was saying either.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She lifted her cup to her lips and downed the second cup of the night. She was getting a pretty good buzz going, and her head was getting a bit fuzzy as well. She set the cup down and climbed back onto the bed. She slowly moved to where she was sitting on Auden's legs and looking down at her. [#cc6699 "You need to let someone take your pictures as well Auden.. You are breathtaking, and seeing you in nothing but this, is making it even better"] she said lightly as she looked down at her friend.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She bit her lower lip lightly as she reached out and touched her shoulders lightly, trailing her finger tips along the straps and moving a bit lower. Her heart was hammering inside of her chest as she leaned over and set her phone aside. She then shifted so she wasn't putting all of her weight on Auden. She looked down into her eyes. [#cc6699 "You are beautiful, and I honestly don't understand why no one has snagged you. You would make someone very, very happy"] she breathed out. She shifted a bit as she ran her fingers along Auden's skin.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 The feeling of the other's skin was enough for her. It was nice to just do something like this with her. The booze was fully taking over and Seraphina wanted nothing more than to lean down, kiss those lips of Auden's and just have her way with her. She didn't know what was happening. She never looked at Auden this way, and she was glad no one else was here. She moved her fingers lightly along Auden's stomach slowly moving lower. The silence washing over them was powerful.]]

Auden couldn’t help it, her face became hot and red when Seraphina complimented her. And this wasn’t a normal complement. She was now talking about her body, and not just what was on it. She didn’t want to say anything back, so as to not make it weird. And besides, if she just denied it, like she usually did, Seraphina would more than likely do it again. She knew her hourglass shape made the clothes look nice and she probably looked nice to others in them, but she just wasn’t comfortable in her body like Seraphina was. She wished she could be.

[#75abba “What? You want to take photos of me?”] Auden asked. Seraphina knew she preferred to be behind the camera, and specifically in these kinds of outfits. Wait...what did she say? She wanted a photo of Auden like this was her wallpaper. Was Auden dreaming? Auden had been pinning after Seraphina for years, hopelessly in love with her, and now she was throwing out flirty phrases, wanting photos of her. She was almost quick to say yes because of how excited she was. Auden was never bold like her friend was, mostly because it seemed like her friend wasn’t interested. But once Auden was with someone she knew reciprocated some type of feelings with her, she could be pretty dominant.

[#75abba “I mean...I guess you can...you’d have to promise not to show them to anybody else...wait what are you doing?”] Auden stumbled through, until Seraphina was in her lap. Again, the words coming out of her mouth were things she had been dreaming of hearing for years. Was Seraphina just talking like this because she was drunk, probably. But drunk words were sober thoughts, right? [#75abba “You know the only breathtaking one here is you.”] Auden spoke, trying to test the waters. She placed a hand on the small of her back, to keep her on her lap.

As she felt Seraphina’s fingers glide across her skin, she bit her lip in pleasure. As she moved lower, Auden felt her face heat up, and her skin burned where she was being touched, in a good way. Then she began with the compliments and didn’t know why someone hadn’t snagged her yet. If she was being honest, when she was out at clubs with other friends, she had been approached, but kept her distance. Even though she knew Seraphina wasn’t going to change her sexuality for Auden, she couldn’t help but dream. But, it almost seems plausible now. [#75abba “To be honest, I have my eyes kind of set on someone else. And I am in deep.”] she looked up at her, biting down on her lip, letting it slip through her teeth.

The silence was deafening as Seraphina ran her fingers across Auden’s skin. She couldn’t hold back the moan from her lips, it was soft but it still made its way out of her lips. She knew Seraphina heard it, but she wished she didn’t. But, maybe that would show the woman that she wanted, which was her. The way she was looking at her, the way she was touching her skin. Auden felt herself gain a little bit of confidence, and pulled the girl more onto her lap. She let her hands rest on her hips, looking up at her.

[#75abba “Do you understand what you are doing to me…?”] Auden whispered softly into her ear.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 This wasn't something Seraphina was used to doing. Yes she was used to doing this kind of thing to men, but not to women. Maybe she was starting to question her sexuality? Something she thought she was so sure enough. Yes she knew that women looked at her, and a lot of them were jealous of how she dressed, and carried herself. She just never thought she would be attracted to them. Auden though was a different story. Even though they had been close for years, she never thought something like this would happen to her.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Her head was a bit fuzzy and the booze was making it that much harder to really think straight. She cocked her head to the side as she felt Auden's hands on her hips keeping her in place. She gently hooked her fingers into the fabric of her waistband. She bit her lip lightly as she looked down at her. She listened to everything the woman said, and her heart was racing. She heard the small moan and she couldn't help but smirk at the sound. Did she understand what she was doing? Yes she did fully understand it.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Why wouldn't I understand what I was doing? It's plain as day Auden.. I see the way you look at me, the way you turn down every other person who shows interest in you.. You shouldn't lead people on though, pretend to like someone when you have your sights on someone else.."] she breathed out. She then leaned down a bit their lips inches apart. Apart of her wanted to kiss her, but at the same time she hadn't kissed a woman before. She pulled back a bit and gently played with the woman's panties.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Was this cheating? She wasn't really with Luca, she was still single. Would it be so bad to test the waters? There was so many thoughts running around in her mind that her head was starting to pound a little bit. She then slid her fingers out of the waist band. She shifted a bit as she looked down at the woman under her. [#cc6699 "You honestly don't know how breathtaking you are. You are beautiful, and you have so much potential to make someone happy. If you really have feelings for someone tell them, instead of hiding them."]]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Take what you want, make the first move"] she breathed out. What was she doing? She wanted Auden to kiss her. She wanted to feel Auden's fingers exploring her skin. She was pushing Auden out of her comfort zone, or trying too at least. She stayed in the woman's lap as she sat up a bit straighter. Seeing the woman almost fully naked was exciting her. More than she thought it was. Her own heart was pounding against her chest, and she couldn't help but wonder what it was like to feel Auden touching her in secret places.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Don't be scared anymore"] she whispered lightly towards the other. She reached up and ran her fingers through her blonde hair letting her words hang in the air between them. She waited, the silence washing over them both not knowing what was going to happen next.]]

What? Auden was shocked, to say the least. Seraphina had noticed, noticed everything she’d been trying to hide from her for years. Her stares that sometimes would last too long, how her cheeks would heat up when Seraphina would roam the house in nothing but a bra and panties, keeping others away from herself while pining after the one girl she couldn’t have. The woman of her dreams. And now, her dream was unfolding in front of her own eyes, and she didn’t know what to do. She should take the advances, or continue to lie to her friend. Telling her she didn’t know what she was talking about...but Auden didn’t know she could hide it any longer.

[#75abba “I-I didn’t think I was leading anyone on…”] Auden breathed out after her. Their lips were close, and she could feel but feel her whole body heat up. Fuck. But once the woman hooked her fingers into the waistband of her panties, she felt the need to bite her lip. Hard. She was teasing her, it was clear everything she was trying to do. She wanted her to make the move, but she never thought she’d have this opportunity. She had to make sure it was perfect, because if it would happen once, she could make it good enough to happen again. Seraphina had always been a dream she assumed she couldn’t have, but now here she was.

Auden thought about holding back, but she didn’t think she could anymore. She was about to burst, especially with the words leaving Seraphina’s lips. Her lips, Auden wondered what they tasted like, what they felt like under her own. But wasn’t Seraphina straight? And was she with Luca? Neither of those questions really stuck with her, as she was done waiting. It had been too many years, and she was ready to show her what she thought. What she so desperately wanted.

Auden took hold of Seraphina’s hips tightly, letting her nails dig into her skin softly. [#75abba “So, you’re saying, whoever I have feelings for? I should just tell them. Tell them how I have been pining for them for years, hiding every glance I make. Holding back when they are in a relationship, trying to be the supportive best friend. When, I should just tell them that I absolutely adore them. That I adore you.”] Auden spoke, letting one hand move from her hips to her cheek. She closed the gap between them, the kiss was something else. It felt like it was out of a movie, and she didn’t know if she could really hold back any farther.

Auden moved their bodies, letting Seraphina’s back hit the bed, Auden letting her legs straddle over the woman. She leaned down, peppering kisses down her neck and collarbone, moving slowly. She let her hands roam her body, staying clear at first of places that were covered by fabric. But before long, Auden's hand rose, pushing the strap of her bra off of her shoulder. She pressed kisses along the shoulder letting her hand rest of the woman’s chest. Her mind felt like it was in a fog, even if she was aware of everything happening around her. [#75abba “I know this is all new for you, but don’t worry. I’ll take the lead. As long as all of this is okay with you.”] Auden spoke, her hands roaming up and down her body. [#75abba “Damn, you are so amazingly beautiful. And as cute as these pieces are on, I can only guess they’d look better on the floor.”] Auden teased, lifting Seraphina up slightly off the bed, keeping her lips on hers as she unhooked the top of her lingerie, sliding it off her body and onto the floor.

Auden could die happy now. She was in her own personal heaven and she had no idea what she did to deserve it. [#75abba “Don’t worry about anything...I’ll help you every step.”] Auden spoke, lowering herself down to give the woman the ride of her life.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina's heart was hammering inside of her chest. The booze was taking it's toll on her, and making her head swim. What was happening? Was she really about to sleep with her best friend? She let out a small gasp when she felt Auden's fingers dig into her hips slightly. The feeling was amazing and it oddly turned her on even more. Soon Auden's lips were on hers and her heart felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. This was a whole new world to her. She'd never explored with a woman before.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 When she felt Auden flip them over, she was laying on her back and looking up at the woman. The sight before her was something amazing. She wished she could capture it right here and now, but couldn't. She was too focused on the woman's fingers roaming her skin. She then felt her slide the strap off her shoulder, and locked her eyes on the other's as she spoke. She nodded lightly, as she was all of a sudden too nervous to really speak. Did she want this? Did she want to feel the woman's lips on her skin?]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She nearly screamed out the word yes. All she could was nod her head lightly. [#cc6699 "Just be gentle.."] she breathed out. She knew that Auden wouldn't hurt her, and she knew damn well she would enjoy it too. She wanted nothing more than to enjoy it. That's when Auden lowered herself down and the blonde let out a low gasp as her fingers found Auden's hair, and kept her in place. The feelings Auden was giving her was all new, and in reality she enjoyed it. She let Auden have her fun a little longer.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Her body shuddered as she rolled Auden onto her back once more. She looked up at her as she kissed the woman's chest, and moved lower. She wanted to taste every part of Auden, and wanted to please her as much as she had already done for her. She moved lower and mimicked the way Auden had done it. When they were both finished the blonde kissed her way back up the other's naked body, and found her lips with her own once more. Tasting her was amazing, and her heart was still hammering inside of her chest.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She pulled back and rolled onto her back looking towards the other. Her breathing slightly heavy the whole time. [#cc6699 "That.. That was amazing.. I hope I pleased you as much as you did to me"] she whispered. Her head was starting to pound, but she kept that thought to herself at the moment. She wanted to enjoy the silence for a little while. When she felt like she could move she slowly slid off the bed and pulled on the bra and pantie set. She wondered if it would happen again, but for the time being she was happy.]]

Auden had pleased Seraphina, and Seraphina took the time and pleased her as well. Auden couldn’t believe this was her life. She was still pinching herself to make sure she was awake and this wasn’t just a dream. She thought the whole thing over and over again. The way Seraphina had her hand in her hair, the way she had gripped Seraphina’s hair when she pleased her, the feeling of their skin against each other. Seraphina, even if she had never been with a woman before, she had paid attention to Auden and made it seem like she had done this millions of times before.

Auden could hear Seraphina’s breathing, and turned toward her, her breathing just the same. [#75abba “Absolutely incredible.”] Auden spoke softly, a smile resting on her lips. [#75abba “You have no reason to worry, you did amazing.”] she smiled, letting a hand brush through the woman’s hair. The two were silent, but a good silence, not awkward. Auden almost pouted when she watched the woman get up and put on her bra and panties back on. She would have preferred her in nothing, but maybe the woman was feeling awkward now that it was all over. She hoped not.

[#75abba “Uh, Seraphina…”] Auden started, sitting up in the bed. She got herself up as well, pulling on her grey set from where it sat on the floor. She pulled her bottoms on, and as she hooked her top part back, she looked toward Seraphina. [#75abba “I hope that this doesn’t change anything between us. I mean I would not be disappointed if you wanted to do any of that again, or not. I just want you to still be my best friend, no matter what. I regret nothing of what happened, I just want to make sure we are still good.”] she spoke, her voice concerned slightly. She didn’t want her spilling her most kept secret to her best friend to ruin everything. Apparently, she had noticed all the things she tried to hide, but she still was worried about what could happen.

Auden sat herself back down on the bed, rubbing her hands on her thighs. Her mind didn’t stop racing. Her skin burned as she remembered Seraphina touching her, sitting on top of her, being between her lips earlier, touching her in every spot on her body. This is not what she had been expecting when they were coming away, but she had not been turned off by it. She still wanted to do the photo shoots and spend the week together, but she wouldn’t mind fooling around more with the woman as well. Maybe Seraphina did like women, or maybe she just liked Auden? Her ego grew a little at the thought, but she didn’t let herself dwell on it.

[#75abba “Was I gentle enough? I was trying, but once it happened I couldn’t really control myself.”] Auden spoke. She could have continued, and say [i I could never control myself around you], but she held that much back. She smiled toward the woman, hoping she didn’t scare her away.

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 Seraphina's mind was spinning and when she heard Auden's voice she turned her eyes towards the woman. She wished the woman hadn't gotten her bra and panties back on. She bit her lip lightly knowing damn well she would be taking it right back off. She tried to wrap her head around everything that happened. Was she just doing this because she was drunk? Or did she secretly have feelings for Auden? Feelings she didn't want to act upon for fear of being rejected? She shook her head lightly listening to the other talking. She watched as Auden sat back down.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 A small smirk passed over her lips lightly as she looked Auden up and down. [#cc6699 "You were gentle enough, I just kind of wish you would have been a bit rougher. Don't hold anything back, if you want something then dive head first Auden. Don't be scared to hurt someone, because as far as you know they would have enjoyed it"] she cooed lightly. She then reached for her phone and smirked a bit as she slowly turned it on. That's when she saw the message from Luca, and she ignored it completely.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "I still want pictures of you in that little outfit, and I also want pictures of you out of the outfit as well"] she admitted. She loved seeing Auden's body. In a way it turned her on. She thought back to the feeling of Auden's lips on her skin. Her fingers, the way she pleased her. A small moan escaped her lips at the memory of a few minutes ago. She walked over and set her phone on the bed beside Auden. She then climbed back into the woman's lap, snaking her arms around her neck.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 [#cc6699 "Maybe get some of both of us with and without the outfits as well. Would it be better with your camera, so that way no one else could stumble upon them?"] she asked lightly. She then leaned her head down and trailed tiny kisses along Auden's neck, and shoulder. She then started to fiddle with her bra strap as well. She loved the clothing on the woman, but she wanted more. Her body was screaming for more. Hell she even wanted Auden to be rough with her, not control herself so much. She wanted more in general.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She then moved her lips up to her ear and gently nibbled on it. [#cc6699 "Take what you want Auden, and don't stop taking it"] she breathed into her ear gently. She then found Auden's lips with her own. She wrapped her arms around Auden's neck, tangling her fingers into her hair. The kiss was filled with lust. She wanted to feel more of what Auden made her feel a little while ago. Hell she could go all night trying different things, they had a whole hotel room as well to try those things too.]]

[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather][merriweather [size12 She deepened the kiss a bit more trying to prove her point. She wanted Auden to take control of everything right then and there. She wanted more, and she didn't want Auden to stop until they were both screaming.]]

Auden watched Seraphina as she spoke. The two had redressed, but why? They both seemed to have the idea that they would be out of the clothes very soon. She lifted her eyebrow at the girl when she spoke that she wished she had been rougher. Is that what she was interested in? She was worried and didn’t want to overwhelm her with the new experience, so she wanted to be gentle with her. And now that she knew she wanted her to be a bit rougher, she was sure she could please her even more than she did the first time.

Thinking about the photos, she smiled. [#75abba “You know I am not someone who likes to be the muse for photos. But I think I’ll make an exception for you.”] she smiled. She could feel her heart beat like crazy in her chest, just thinking about how Seraphina wanted photos of her. And she was interested now in photos of her nude as well. Auden knew she wanted so many photos of Seraphina, as she had always been a wonderful model, but she was excited to get something a bit more risque as well. The woman crawled back into her lap, and Auden absent mindly placed her hands onto her hips, the woman’s arms placed around her neck causing her heart to beat faster in her chest. How did Seraphina know what she loved without even being told? Maybe she had mentioned it nonchalantly, hoping one day to have Seraphina use her hints. That day was today.

[#75abba “My camera is definitely better. Wouldn’t want anyone but us to see those.”] Auden smirked, before letting her head lean back as the woman pressed tiny kisses along her neck and shoulder. Her lips were incredibly soft, and she honestly thought she was dreaming. She never in a million years thought something like this would happen, ever. She could feel the woman moving the clothes off of her, and knew she was thinking exactly what Auden was. Auden started working on getting her bra off before she felt the woman lean into her ear.

[#75abba “You don’t have to tell me twice.”] Auden groaned, before her lips were taken by Seraphina. She let herself get lost in the kiss, letting the woman’s fingers get lost in her hair. She felt a soft growl in her throat, feeling her confidence start to build up. She took her hands that were on her hips, taking hold of her a bit rougher, pulling her closer in. She let her fingers dig into the woman’s skin, and then took some tips to work and pushed the panties down slightly. She could feel Seraphina pouring more of herself into the kiss, and just feeling that caused Auden’s dominant side to come out a bit more. She reached around, quickly unhooking the bra off of Seraphina’s top, without even leaving her lips, she also removed it from her body, and let her hands go to the woman’s chest.

Auden took her hand, lightly wrapping her fingers around her neck. [#75abba “Is this what you wanted?”] she teased, leaning into her lips. She was able to now use her leverage on her neck to push Seraphina down on the bed, Auden looking down at her. She removed her hand from her neck, taking each of her wrists in a different hand, holding them firmly down on the bed. Something Seraphina didn’t know about Auden is how aggressive she really was in the bedroom. She had always been more dominant in these situations than in her normal, day to day life. But Auden never really spoke to Seraphina about her intimate life, so she didn’t think Seraphina would know any of that. So, when Seraphina wanted her to be a little rougher with her, she knew just what to do. It had been what she wanted to do to the woman for as long as she had been in love with her. A dream she got to experience first hand.

Auden leaned down, whispering softly into Seraphina’s ear, [#75abba “I’m gonna make you scream my name, beautiful.”] she smirked, before pulling away a bit to move her lips from her ear to her lips.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The blondes heart was hammering inside of her chest, when she felt Auden's hand around her neck she let out a low moan. God this was a whole new feeling for her. She didn't want it to stop either. She wanted nothing more than to have Auden do as she pleased. When she was pushed down onto the bed, she bent her legs a bit and looked up at the woman, her hands held down against the bed. She honestly couldn't wait to feel the woman touching her, pleasing her in a way she pretty much begged for.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Was she okay with this? Part of her was screaming no, that it was cheating. It wasn't cheating. She wasn't with anyone. She was still fully single, but why was she feeling like this? She was torn. She wanted Auden to keep going, so she kept her mouth shut. It's been a while since she's felt this good, and a woman is making her feel this way. She never thought anything like this could happen. She nodded her head and bit her lip lightly. [#cc6699 "Do as you please"] she breathed out, meaning it.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She then felt Auden's lips on her own once more, and her body arched up to meet Auden's. She groaned into the kiss, her body screaming to be touched again. She wanted to feel that high again, and she didn't want to stop. The pictures were all but forgotten right then and there. She was too focused on the way Auden was making her feel. The feeling was amazing, and she felt like she could live here for ages. She wouldn't ever get tired of feeling Auden touching her, kissing her, pleasing her. This was perfection in her eyes.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She bit Auden's lower lip as she kissed her. She arched her body against her even more, and when it was finally over her breathing was heavy. Her chest rising and falling, sweat covering her skin. Her legs were shaking and she could barely think straight. Was this really what it was like being with a woman? The gentle touches at first, and then being more and more rough? Was this what it was like all of the time? Did she really want to get with Luca when she got home? She shook the thought out of her head.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Her best friend was on top of her, still holding her down. Her body shaking, her breathing slowly going back to normal. [#cc6699 "Fuck.. I didn't think you'd have something like that in you.. You are so innocent, but shit get you behind closed doors, and there's a whole new side of you"] she breathed out. It wasn't a bad thing, just surprising. She never thought she'd see a different side of Auden, and it really turned her on. Knowing that the woman pretty much took what she wanted made matters that much better.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I think a shower is in order, and seeing if we could get some clean sheets as well"] she whispered. She wasn't in the mood to sleep in a dirty bed, even if they still had pictures to take as well. She would sleep amazing when the time came. For now though, she was enjoying having Auden on top of her, holding her down against the bed still.]]

All of this was very unlike Auden. Well, it wasn’t unlike her, but she never acted this way around her best friend. She had always seen Auden as her innocent friend who never really acted on impulse or wasn’t very dominant in any sense. But in a romantic sense, she had always taken charge of a situation, and as soon as she realized that Seraphina enjoyed what was happening, she knew she could relax and let it out in front of her. Her mind had gone blank and she just enjoyed the beautiful woman in front of her. Her soft skin, the sounds she made, and movement of her body under her; it drove her crazy. She was waiting to wake up from this dream she assumed she was in, as she never believed this would be a reality.

Once she had finished, Auden stayed on top of her, still holding her wrists down softly. She had used one hand to pleasure her, so she had switched her wrists to once hand over her head. She loved feeling the girl arch toward her, their lips crashing together time and time again. Seraphina, even held down, had her moments of dominance, giving her lower lips bites. She wanted to make her feel better than she and ever before with any man. She knew what women liked, as she was a woman herself. She loved that Seraphina was vocal with what she wanted from her, it helped her give her what she needed. And now she could give it to her whenever she desired.

As Auden stayed on top of her, she relished in her face. She seemed over the moon, and she could feel that her legs were shaking behind her. That’s how she knew she had done a good job, the way her body showed her pleasure. Auden adjusted her breathing, her deep breaths became slower as well. She let a small laugh escape her lips as Seraphina spoke, [#75abba “Guess there is a lot you don’t know about me.”] she teased, sending a wink her way as well.

When Seraphina mentioned a shower, Auden agreed. [#75abba “I think so too. Do you still want to do the photos tonight, or we can postpone until tomorrow. We have all week.”] she smiled. Thinking about how they had a whole week to mess around again and again made Auden’s heart speed up a bit. She couldn’t wait to spend the week with such an amazing woman, and now that they had broken this barrier, Auden believed it could be even better than they imagined.

Auden slowly moved her hands from her wrist, pressing a kiss to her forehead softly before getting off the woman. This is when she got a nervous feeling in her stomach, and slowly became self-conscious [#75abba “Uh, I’m gonna go to the bathroom, give me a minute.”] Auden spoke, before sending her a soft smile and rushing off into the bathroom. Once she got there, she closed the door a bit, a crack still open. She placed both hands on the counter in front of the mirror, bracing herself as she looked down, before slowly looking at herself in the mirror.

[#75abba “What the fuck did I just do?”] she whispered to herself. This whole night was something she wasn’t planning on doing, and now she had seriously crossed a line between friends and more than that. But, Seraphina and her had been drinking. Was this only because they had been drinking, or was there truly something there? What about that guy at home, Luca? Would she run to him when they returned, or was this a new start for them? She turned on the water, splashing some water on her face before wiping her face down.

Auden re-entered the main area of their room, smiling softly at her friend. [#75abba “I’ll, uh, call down to the front desk, see if they can send us some new sheets. Do you need anything? Or want anything?”] she smirked, sitting by the bed near where her friend is. [#75abba “If you’d like, I can run you a bath after your shower?”] Auden asked, bringing herself near the phone, going to call downstairs for some new sheets. She didn’t know how far the two could actually go, as she didn’t know if this was a one time thing or if this would be a new normal for the two of them. It was nerve-wracking, and caused her heart to beat hard in her chest.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When Auden excused herself to the bathroom, Seraphina was finally able to sit up and look down at the bed. This was something she never thought would have happened. Her head was spinning a bit, and she wondered if the booze was the cause of everything that happened. She sighed lightly as she leaned her head down into her hands. She wanted nothing more than to puke her guts out in that moment. She looked up when Auden came out of the bathroom, and she shook her head lightly as she pushed herself up to shaking legs.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "We can do the pictures tomorrow. I just want to take a shower and try to calm myself down from what just happened. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just a lot to take in at the moment. I don't need anything from downstairs either. Just the sheets and blankets is pretty much all we need"] she said lightly as she moved over to where her bags were and unzipped them. She then pulled out her sleeping clothes, and some clean panties as well. The other outfits forgotten about at the time being.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She didn't know what to really say at the moment. She grabbed her bathroom things as well, and slipped into the bathroom shutting and locking the door behind her. She needed some space, and she was making sure she got it. She put her things onto the counter, turned and started the water as well. She let it slowly heat up as she moved over to the mirror, and looked at herself. She had some sort of glow about her, and she liked the glow. Was this really what it was like being with another woman?]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She had to admit Auden knew what she was doing, and it was starting to turn her on once more. She wanted the other in the bathroom with her. She shook her head and told herself to stop it. That's when Luca crossed her mind. Would he be mad at her? What if he found out she had slept with her best friend? She wasn't bi-sexual. At least she didn't think she was until earlier that night. She blushed a bit remembering the way Auden's fingers felt, the woman's lips on her own. She sighed lightly turning away from the mirror.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She stepped into the shower and stood under the water. She was trying to forget what happened. Yet she couldn't. She wanted more, she wanted to see Auden take charge even more. They had the rest of the week to do more as well. At that thought a small smile broke out across her face. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly at the moment. She tilted her head back and got her hair wet. She took her time washing her hair, and her body as well. She wanted to enjoy the water for as long as she could.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When she was done, she shut the water off and grabbed one of the towels. She wrapped it around herself as she got ready for bed. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and made sure everything was put away. She then dried herself off and slipped into her clean panties, and then slipped into her pajama's as well. She dried her hair the best she could, and then unlocked the door and walked out. [#cc6699 "Shower is free. I think I'm going to turn in for the night though"] she said as a yawn took over.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened. They would have plenty of time for that. She then realized that the new sheets had arrived. She helped put the bed together, and tossed the dirty sheets into the corner of the room. She then slipped into the king size bed, and got comfortable. [#cc6699 "Don't forget to turn out the bathroom light when you are done"] she cooed lightly as she clicked on her bedside lamp. She then snuggled down under the sheets, letting her eyes drift closed.]]

As Seraphina slipped into the bathroom, Auden made a quick call to the front desk, and they told her the sheets would be up in a few minutes. They asked if they needed them to make up the bed, and she declined. It would just be weird for them to come in so Auden assumed the two of them could just remake the bed. Auden hung the phone up, and sat on the bed, taking a deep breath. She was nervous to be alone, as she knew her mind would wander. Seraphina hadn’t given her much of an explanation of how she felt, just that she needed to take time to calm herself down. She hoped she didn’t ruin everything.

Auden never really spoke about her relationship/dating life with Seraphina, even when Seraphina told her about hers. She never thought she’d be interested, even when she asked. So, Seraphina was probably mostly in the dark about the fact that Auden felt the way she did, which is why the alcohol was the reason it came out. She knew that Seraphina always pushed her to get out there and meet people, but she wanted to keep herself open in case something happened, like today.

Auden was a bit worried about that man that Seraphina had been seeing before. Luca. He had seemed to already hate Auden, as he was cold the first time they had met. She had seemed to be annoyed with him, but that could change. She knew how guys like him worked; they would get angry, but then shower them with love and affection to bring them back in. Auden knew it hurt seeing Seraphina run back to him, so she hoped it would shift Seraphina’s thoughts. Maybe she’d be interested in trying a relationship with Auden.

Auden broke out of her thoughts when the door had a knock, and she pulled on an oversized tee-shirt to grab the sheets from the man at the door. She thanked him, before bringing the sheets in. At the same time, Seraphina emerged from the bathroom, saying she was going to go to bed. Auden nodded, it seemed as though talking about this wasn’t going to happen, which she was slightly okay with. The two worked together to remake the bed, and Seraphina quickly slipped in before flicking her light off. [#75abba “I will, goodnight.”] she spoke softly, before making her own way into the bathroom.

Auden’s shower was filled with her thoughts. Did she make a mistake? Was this the right move? But she knew dwelling on it would make it worse. So she let her heart beat rapidly as she did her shower, making sure to clean her body and hair well. The clean sheets would feel amazing to crawl into. When she was finally done, she wrapped the towel around herself and did her skincare, and pulled out her contacts before heading back into the room. There was a dim light from the shades outside, and a small light on Auden’s side of the bed. Auden went over to her bag, pulling out some clothes and sliding them on. She closed the shades, and then slid into the bed next to Seraphina, flicking her own light off as well.

[center ~]
The next morning, Auden was a big groggy, the alcohol clearly affecting her. She yawned, and slid out of bed, not wanting to wake up Seraphina. She smiled at the sleeping woman, she looked so peaceful and beautiful. She pulled on a flowy t-shirt dress for the bed, something a bit girlier than she usually wore, but she did want to try and wear something she never had. She slid on her sandals, before heading out of the room. She went to the lobby, and found a small cafe near the front desk. She got two coffees for the two of them, knowing Seraphina’s order and a latte for herself. Bringing them back upstairs, she placed the coffee on the small table next to Seraphina, not wanting to wake her up while they were taking some time away. She pulled out a book she brought with her, opening the book and curling up in the plush chair in the corner, taking sips of her latte every so often.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When the blonde slowly started to wake, her head was pounding and the smell of coffee almost made her puke right then and there. She groaned lightly as she rolled onto her back and pulled the pillow over her head. She laid there a while before she felt like she could move without her head screaming at her. She let out a small sigh as she pulled the pillow from her eyes, and she spotted Auden in the chair. She smiled lightly towards her best friend before slowly sitting up. She then realized he was almost fully nude.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 What happened last night? She remembered a little bit of it, and that's when it all came crashing back. Did she really sleep with her best friend? She bit her lip lightly as she looked over towards Auden. [#cc6699 "Thanks for the coffee"] she said lightly breaking the silence between them. Her head was spinning, and her heart was hammering inside of her chest. She reached for the cup and placed it to her lips and took a sip. The warm liquid helped a little with her pounding head. Which it always did most days.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "How much did we drink last night? I remember a little bit of it, but it's all fuzzy"] she said lightly as she slid out from under the blankets. She then pushed herself to her feet and made her way to her bags. She unzipped them and pulled out a pair of jeans, and a light colored shirt. She then changed out of the pantie set she was wearing, and slipped into a clean pair. She then got dressed and pulled the shirt down over her stomach. She was getting more and more hungry as the time passed.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I don't know about you, but hotel food doesn't sound good right now. I want something more"] she said as she grabbed a pair of socks and then grabbed her shoes. She then walked back to the bed and sat down. She pulled the socks on slowly, and then slid her feet into her shoes. As she sat there her mind wandered to the night before. Had Auden really touched her in places that she's only let men ever tough? Had they kissed? She felt her heart hammering inside of her chest. She then raised her head slowly.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "Did we sleep together...?"] she asked lightly. She knew the answer was yes, but she hoped it wasn't true. She felt dirty all of a sudden. She felt like she had cheated on Luca, when in reality she was still a single woman after all. She finished putting her socks and shoes on, and reached for her coffee cup once more. She took another sip letting the silence wash over them. She didn't know what else to really say. She was confused on a lot of things, and she wanted answers.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She also wanted to fall into bed with Auden once more. She wanted to taste her, touch her, kiss her, when she was sober. She didn't know if that was really her feelings showing, or if it was the lust. Whatever the reason she knew sooner or later she would get what she wanted. At least for now the question was hanging between them. Did she regret it? Not in the least, but for now they might talk about it, or wait until they were back behind closed doors to talk about what happened. Right then she wanted food.]]

Auden had been silently reading for a least 20 minutes before she heard Seraphina’s voice break her out of her reading streak. She looked over to her, showing her a small smile and nod before turning back to the book. She didn’t even know how to say words to the woman anymore. It was clear Seraphina didn’t want to talk about it last night, so she was unsure how it was going to go today. She heard her get up, but kept her eyes on her book. She didn’t feel the need to get red in the face at the sight of her friend in almost nothing. Then she began to speak again, so she found a place to stop in her book and closed it.

Auden let a small laugh leave her lips before responding, keeping her eyes still on the cover of her book. [#75abba “Quite a bit. One of the bottles is empty so more like a lot.”] she teased. But, it hurt more than it should have when she said she didn’t remember much. Auden had been drinking too, but she immediately sobered up when Seraphina had gotten on top of her. She was all of a sudden feeling very self conscious and uncomfortable in her clothing choice of a dress. She made her way to her own bag when Seraphina was changing, pulling on a pair of black leggings and a light purple t-shirt, a small portion of the front was tied so a small portion of her stomach was showing as well.

[#75abba “You really are speaking my language now. There are probably places nearby we can go.”] Auden spoke, pulling on a pair of socks as well. Auden felt a strangeness between the two of them. An elephant in the room. Auden didn’t want to have to tell Seraphina what happened between them in a drunken state last night, and she just hoped that she would remember at least a little bit, and she would just have to fill in details. Everything that happened last night had been a dream for Auden, something she had dreamed about. The softness of her skin, the way she tasted; all perfect. But now, the dream was crashing down around her, and it was clear Seraphina didn’t have hidden feelings for Auden as she did for her.

The next words out of Seraphina’s mouth were not the most ideal to hear. Auden gulped softly, before nodding and then looking over toward her. [#75abba “Um. Yeah. Yeah, we did.”] Auden spoke softly, pulling on her boots to her feet. [#75abba “But we can forget about it if you want. We were drunk and all anyway-”] Auden spoke, her voice full of nerves as she noticed Seraphina’s face when she had posed the question. She didn’t want to lose the woman as her best friend, and she had it in her mind that she only did what they did because they were drunk.

Auden took a deep breath, pulling her boots onto her feet as well. She knew she was going to have to explain herself, and she knew that it could put a wrinkle in their relationship but it needed to be said. [#75abba “Seraphina, I-”] Auden started, gathering any courage she could at that moment. She knew she couldn’t outright tell her she had been in love with her for years, but she could hint at the fact that this was not something she wanted to forget. [#75abba “Everything that happened, we can forget if you want to, but I wouldn’t be angry if we didn’t. If you are unsure of what you want, I don’t mind helping you understand.”] she spoke, hoping her words were not as confusing as they felt.

Auden, feeling her face becoming warm, bit down on her bottom lip. [#75abba “Do you want to discuss this over breakfast?”] she asked, hoping she could get clarity in her own brain before this deep discussion the two would be having soon.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As the two got ready for the day, the blonde had so much running around in her mind that she honestly couldn't think straight. Had everything happened the way it was supposed to? She bit the inside of her cheek as she looked towards Auden and pouted a bit. [#cc6699 "I liked what you had on before.."] she said in a small voice. She hadn't seen the other in a dress before, and it had been a really nice sight. But she wasn't going to make matter's worse. The woman was allowed to wear what she wanted after all.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As Auden was speaking, she looked towards the empty bottle on the floor, and she picked it up and threw it in the trash. They had drank a lot, and it wasn't like her at all. She bit the inside of her cheek once more, as she felt even more confused than before. What was happening to her? Was she really seeing Auden for the first time in her life? Really seeing her as something more than a friend? That's something she couldn't really think about happening. She was confused on her own feelings after all.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I suppose we will need to talk about this sooner or later. Over breakfast sounds good, we can always find a quiet spot somewhere as well. Or we can take it to go and go to a park or something, or wherever you wanna do those pictures"] she said with a small smile. Might as well make things a bit better between them. It was kind of awkward right now, and she didn't know what to do. She opened her bag and started going through it. She picked out a couple of outfits to change into as well.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I don't know if you wanted to do some by the hotel's pool or not. Or we can find a more private lake or something. But I thought it would be fun to do something with water as well. So I ended up packing a couple of different suits"] she said as she held up a light pink one, and a black one as well. Both of them were bikini's, and both were her favorites. She threw them into the bag she was packing for their little photoshoot. She then found her make up bag as well.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I don't know if you wanted to do my makeup, or if you wanted me too. So I'll bring that too just in case"] she said as she finished what she was doing. When she was done, she made sure they had their room keys, and she slipped her shoes onto her feet and slipped out of the room. Her heart was racing, and her mind was spinning. Were they really going to be talking about everything that happened? She was confused that's for sure, but maybe not as confused as she felt.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She slid the strap of the bag onto her shoulder, and stood outside the door waiting for the other to join her. When they were both out of the room she made her way to the main lobby to get something to eat. Her stomach was yelling at her, but she didn't know if she would be able to really eat anything. She was nervous for the talk they were about to have.]]

Auden couldn’t help but smile when she heard the small voice from Seraphina. As much as Seraphina usually complimented her when she pushed out of her comfort zone, even if it was rare she did so, hearing it now felt different. She had planned on packing a bag from their outing today anyway, so she would bring the dress with her. Auden was usually dressed very androgenous, but when she felt she could, she broke out a little and would push into either more masculine or feminine dress. It usually caused her to feel self-conscious when she did so, like today. But just hearing that Seraphina, Auden felt more confident already. Hopefully that confidence wouldn’t stop at clothing.

Auden listened to Seraphina, returning her small smile back to her. This was a weird feeling, feeling awkward around the other woman. They had been best friends for as long as she could remember and there had never been this sense of awkwardness between them. Of course, Auden felt nervous or embarrassed around the woman because of her crush, but never awkwardness. As she saw Seraphina pack up her bag, she went over to her camera bag, and made sure she grabbed all the lenses and camera accessories she wanted to take with her.

As Seraphina spoke, Auden responded with small nods and smiles. It almost was like she was keeping quiet so as to not let anything weird slip from her lips. She packed a bag for herself as well; a bathing suit, the dress she had on earlier, another pair of shoes if she needed to change from her combat style boots, and her makeup bag as well. Auden had never been the best at makeup, she had only learned to perfect two looks to be able to do a day and a night look for herself, but she did have a knack for knowing how to add a bit of color or add some powder to make a photo look perfect.

Pushing her hair back from her face, she grabbed her bag with one hand, and wrapped her camera bag around her body, making sure it was secure. Her camera was incredibly important to her, her livelihood and something she was currently making her living off of. She cared for it like a mother for a child. She grabbed her phone and her room key, making her way out of the room, following Seraphina. Out of habit, she placed a hand onto Seraphina’s back as she entered the elevator, her hand tingled as her face heated up. Auden could only hope this awkwardness between them would melt away soon enough.

Auden came up behind Seraphina, looking down at her phone as the smell of the hotel breakfast hit her nose. At this point, anything would have made her hungry, but they had decided on not eating here. [#75abba “There’s a cute breakfast place a few minutes away from here, how does that sound? We can see how busy they are, and if they are too busy, we can get out food to go. But can we stay there if they are pretty empty? How does that sound?”] she asked, standing next to the girl, their arms brushing against each other as she showed her the restaurant on her phone. [#75abba “You stay here, I’ll grab the car.”] she smiled, before heading off to get their car. She knew she wanted to have the car with them, in case they ended up somewhere pretty far from the hotel, she didn’t want to be stuck without a ride.

Finding the car quickly, she put her stuff carefully into the backseat before sliding into the driver’s seat. She sat down, taking a minute to put her head in her hands before shaking off the feeling she had. [#75abba “C’mon Auden, stop being like this. She knows you like her, there is clearly no hiding it now. Just lay it all out. There is no way she could hate you…”] she spoke to herself, before letting the worst thought ever slip in her mind [#75abba [i But what if she did…]]

Auden pulled up next to the door, lowering the window. [#75abba “Uber for Seraphina.”] she teased, resting her arm on the car door. She laughed at her own joke, before shaking her head apologetically, [#75abba “Sorry, that was stupid.”] she laughed, heading over to the breakfast place after Seraphina got herself in the car. The drive to the restaurant was quiet, the radio softly playing as the drove. It was comfortable silence, the two never had an issue with silence between them.

Auden parked in a parking spot near the door, leaning against the seat with a sigh. [#75abba “Ready for this?”] she asked as she looked over to Seraphina. She almost hoped the other was as nervous as she was.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The silence as getting a bit awkward, and she didn't like it. She hated how things seemed to change in a night. They were never awkward around one another, and here they were. She felt Auden's hand on her back, and she felt her heart skip a beat. A part of her wanted to take the woman's hand and lace their fingers together, but she fought that urge. The smell of breakfast was making her more and more hungry. She was kind of regretting telling Auden she didn't want to eat at the hotel. She ended up pouting a bit.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 That's when Auden mentioned the small breakfast place and she nodded lightly as they both stepped out of the elevator. [#cc6699 "Honestly that sounds amazing"] she said with a small smile. She watched as Auden went to get the car. She stood there with her arms wrapped around herself. She was dying to talk to Luca, but knew she couldn't bring herself to break her own rule at the moment. She didn't know how Auden would feel if she all of a sudden started talking to him throughout the day. Today was supposed to be about them anyway.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As she stood there thinking about the male, and how badly she wanted to just message him, and tell him straight up she would be his girlfriend, she knew it wouldn't be wise. She knew that Auden liked her in more ways than one, and she was slowly learning that she wasn't fully straight like she had thought she had been. She chewed the inside of her cheek as she let herself get lost in her thoughts for a moment. When Auden pulled up to the front, she rolled her eyes at the woman's comment.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I'll be driving us home when the time comes. I'm not going to argue with you. So don't you dare keep the keys from me"] she said in a matter of fact tone. Sometimes she didn't like Auden doing all of the driving when they were together. She did like it most of the time, but right now she wanted something else to distract her thoughts. She slid into the car and shut the door behind her, and put her seatbelt on. She then turned her eyes to the window, and let the silence wash over them.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I was thinking we should find some sort of water. I don't care if it's a pool, or a lake. I think it would be interesting to have something to do with the water"] she said as she turned her attention to Auden just then. The silence between them wasn't as bad, but she did want to hear what the other had in mind for picture's. She wouldn't mind the woods either, but some sort of water would be fun. Because with how long her hair was, she could easily do some sort of flip.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When she realized they were at the restaurant already she broke out into a smile. [#cc6699 "I think we should take some paper inside and write down ideas of where we want to go"] she said as she reached into the glove compartment and pulled out the notebook there. She found the pen and then undid her seatbelt, and climbed out. She then made her way to the front door and opened it for Auden. She stepped in behind her, and they were both greeted by a bubbly teenager, with a beautiful smile.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "Welcome to Scarlett's Café, my name is Odette, and I will be your server. Follow me to your table"] she said as she grabbed two menus. Seraphina couldn't help but smile at the teen. She nudged Auden and smirked lightly as she followed the younger woman. Soon they were both seated, and menus in hand. [b "I'll be right back with a couple of water's. It'll give you some time to go over the menu as well"] she said as she went off once more. Seraphina wasn't used to that kind of service, but she felt oddly welcome.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She then turned her attention to the menu in front of her, trying to figure out what sounded good, and what she was in the mood for. She bit her lower lip lightly scanning the menu silently.]]

Auden stayed quiet for the most part on the drive to the cafe. Seraphina seemed angry at her attempt to drive and she didn’t want to make their time together any more awkward than it already was. She wished she could read minds, and wondered what Seraphina was thinking about everything that happened. Did she enjoy it? Or did she need a release and the alcohol just aided them in helping each other? Auden couldn’t hide her feelings, as she clearly told Seraphina last night that she did like her, and way more than just as best friends.

Auden broke out of her thoughts as Seraphina switched to speaking about the photos. [#75abba “Oh, uh, yeah. Water would be really cool. Plus, it’s nice out so having a break by some water would be great. I packed a swimsuit as well, so we could get some shots of you, and then we could just hang out for a while as well.”] the woman spoke, pulling into the restaurant.

The two walked in together, the bubbly teen at the front greeting them. Seraphina nudged her, causing Auden to smile as they were guided to their table. The teen was kind and it was nice to have a server who was as welcoming as she was. She could tell Seraphina felt the same way she did about the woman. Auden nodded as she said she would return with water in a moment. Auden looked down to the menu, scanning the items to see what she was interested in eating. After smelling the food in the lobby, she was dying for breakfast food, and she didn’t eat much last night because of her night with Seraphina.

Auden was a bit distracted by Seraphina, she looked gorgeous as she always did. Even if her head was positioned downward to her menu, her eyes would dart upwards to look at the blonde in front of her. To be able to reach out and hold her hand across the table was a small dream she had hoped for for as long as she could remember. Last night had been a dream as well, but now it seemed as none of it mattered at all. Seraphina wasn’t a lesbian like Auden was, she was straight and Auden just had to accept that. Losing her friend would be worse than keeping their relationship at the friendship level, so she just had to accept that Seraphina was most likely not interested.

After deciding on what she wanted to eat, she folded the menu closed in front of her. She slid the paper and pen towards herself, writing down the name of a lake she had looked up earlier this morning that was close by. The pool at the hotel would most likely be busy and bustling with people, and Auden would rather be alone with Seraphina anyway. [#75abba “There’s a cute lake nearby, and I think there is a waterfall farther into the woods that is right behind the lake. I think that’d be a perfect backdrop, and you’d look amazing-uh-surrounded by all the water and trees. I think it’ll make a great first spot.”] Auden spoke, trying to cover up her flirting. The flirting was never an issue when Seraphina thought it was playful, but now that she knew, Auden knew she needed to dial back at least a little bit.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As the two sat in silence going over the menu's Seraphina's mind wandered to the night before. The way Auden's lips felt, the way she touched her, the way the woman drove her insane. That's something she never really knew existed in the first place. How could a woman turn her on faster than any man could? She didn't even have to try to either. She bit the inside of her cheek lightly as she kept her eyes turned to the menu. A couple of times she felt Auden watching her, and it made her heart thunder in her chest.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 What was this hold the woman had over her all of a sudden? She as trying so hard to pretend that what happened last night, didn't happen. She remembered quite a bit of it, and a small shudder ran down her spine. She wanted nothing more than to hear those sounds, when she wasn't drunk. She was kind of surprised that thought passed through her mind just now. She couldn't help but feeling a certain way around Auden. Had she really been so blind to all of this? Her mind was racing, and she didn't like it.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She was all of a sudden drawn out of her thoughts as Auden spoke about a small lake nearby. She finally decided on something to eat, and she shut her own menu and turned her attention to Auden. [#cc6699 "That'll be perfect honestly. That and I'm still going to make sure I get some of you as well. Today's not just about me. It's about the both of us"] she said lightly. She wanted to take pictures of Auden for a change. She wanted to capture the beautiful creature before her.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 It was like she was seeing Auden in a whole different light. What was wrong with her? She wanted to reach out and touch the woman's cheek lightly. She wanted to close the gap, and just kiss her. She didn't care who saw. At least part of her didn't care. She knew another part of herself did care what people thought, and what they saw. She chewed her lip lightly when the waitress came back to the table, and placed a couple glasses of water down. [b "Do you need more time, or are you ready to order?"] she asked with a small smile.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The blonde then turned her eyes to the other. [#cc6699 "I'm ready. I'll like the sampler breakfast, scrambled eggs, wheat toast, and bacon instead of the sausage. Pancakes as well please"] she said lightly as she handed the woman her menu. The teen smiled and turned her attention to Auden. When she got the other's order she took the menu and smiled at them both. [b "I'll be back in a few minutes with your order"] she said, and bounced off. Seraphina shook her head lightly and smiled watching the teen walk off.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I don't know about you, but seeing how bubbly she is, is really making my day so much better"] she said lightly. She then turned her eyes back to Auden. She wanted to know what was in her mind, she wanted to pick the woman apart, but she didn't. She didn't even know what to say anyway. She was somewhat struggling to even think of small talk. That's never been a problem before. She knew they would have to talk about it sooner or later, but when they were alone. She didn't want other's overhearing what they had to talk about.]]

Auden rolled her eyes playfully when Seraphina mentioned taking some photos of her. The woman always preferred to be behind the lense, and always believed others looked so much better in photos than she ever did. She had always been super insecure of what she looked liked, but it only seemed to melt away when around Seraphina. It seemed like the only time the brunette would allow herself to relax and actually be in photos was when the blonde was around. It made her feel nice to hear her say the day was about the both of them, because this whole thing was about the two of them. It had always been in Auden’s eyes, but she never felt it returned until now.

The woman realized she would actually need to order food, so she took time to look over the menu. Everything sounded amazing, and the smell in the cafe made her even hungrier than she already was. She settled on what she wanted and closed the menu in front of her. It was almost like Seraphina was looking at her like she never had before, she was going to ask about it, before the waitress placed their waters on the table. Auden smiled up at the girl, giving a soft smirk toward Seraphina before letting her order first.

[#75abba “I’ll take the cinnamon french toast with the icing on the side, hash browns and bacon please. Thanks.”] Auden smiled up at her, before a small laugh left her lips as she bounced away. [#75abba “She is adorable. It’s making the day better already.”] she spoke, letting her eyes rest on the blonde. Looking at her soft features, the way the sun shone through the window and hit her face made her look even more exquisite than usual.

Tapping her fingers on the table, Auden didn’t know how to bring up the elephant in the room. This feeling between them. Should they talk about it here, or should she wait to talk about it when they are alone later. But, the woman said she wanted to speak about it and figure it all out. But it was worrying to Auden. Seraphina was her best friend, her everything, her person. She wasn’t ready to lose her after one drunken night, and she didn’t know her now known secret to ruin anything either. She had been able to hold herself back from acting on her crush for years now, and she could still do it now. She just didn’t want it to be weird between the two of them.

[#75abba “Did you want to go anywhere else for photos? I think I saw that there is supposed to be a fair carnival nearby, so we could stop by. It would make for a cool backdrop for photos, and I could win you a prize as well. Well, maybe not. I’m not the most coordinated.”] Auden teased, a small laugh escaping her lips. That was not something unknown, that Auden wasn’t the most athletic or coordinated person ever, but she just wanted to make Seraphina smile. There was such an awkward air around the two of them, and she wanted to lighten up for now, before they had to dive into their deeper conversation. [#75abba “But we could also just relax for the night, with a movie or something. We don’t need to squeeze everything into one day, it’s up to you.”]

Auden wondered what was going on inside Seraphina’s mind at the moment. Did she feel how she did last night, or was it something she wanted to forget. Was she ready to admit that maybe she wasn’t straight, or did their night solidify her sexuality? Auden would never be that bold to bring it up so casually or bluntly, but she hoped they would cover it. But, it needed to be done alone. No one else needed to be a part of this. This was between Auden and Seraphina.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Watching as the waitress walked off, and Auden commented about how it was making the day better. She had to agree it was. Seeing the bubbly woman made her smile a bit. She bit her lip lightly as her eyes finally fell on Auden. Se was still seeing her in a different light. She just didn't know what to really think about all of it. She chewed the inside of her cheek lightly as she let the silence wash over them a while longer. She let Auden speak about the pictures, and the idea of a Carnival was interesting.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "I mean we could check it out. See what it has to offer. If anything we could just do the pictures at the little lake or wherever we are heading right now, and then end the day there. I haven't been to a carnival before, so it sounds like fun"] she said as her mood seemed to brighten a bit. Doing something she'd never done before was always something on her bucket list. She was still really confused about her feelings for Auden, and the night before. She wasn't meaning to be distant either.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She knew sooner or later they would have to talk about it. Before the waitress came back she spoke up once more. [#cc6699 "I think we should wait until we are alone, and then we can talk about it. I just want to enjoy the day today with my best friend"] she said with a warm smile. She just hoped that all of this wasn't ruining what they had. She didn't want to lose her friendship at all either. She wanted things to stay the same, but at the same time she knew it was already changing.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She had a feeling Auden had been hiding something from her all these years, but she never thought it was something like this. She chewed the inside of her cheek lightly letting the silence wash over them. That's when the waitress came back with their order's. [b "I'm sorry for the small wait. If you need anything else, please let me know"] she said as she looked towards Auden and blushed a bit. She then turned on her heel and walked off once more. The blonde had seen the look, and the blush all in one go.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#cc6699 "It looks like you have someone crushing on you"] she said with a smirk. In a way it made her slightly jealous as well. Jealous? Was she really jealous of someone else looking at Auden like that? She shook the thought out of her mind. She wasn't jealous. She couldn't be jealous. She had Luka back home waiting for her. Or at least she hoped he was still waiting for her. Maybe this trip was needed to help her realize her real feelings. She just hoped that whatever choice she made, she wouldn't hurt anyone in the end.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She looked down at the plate in front of her and licked her lips. [#cc6699 "This looks bloody amazing"] she said lightly as she picked up her fork and knife. She then cut into the food and popped a piece into her mouth. The flavors seemed to spark on her tongue, and she let it linger for the time being. It tasted amazing. The company was amazing as well. She was still having a war within herself, but at least for now she could focus on something else, and not what they would end up talking about later.]]

Auden raised an eyebrow at Seraphina after she spoke. [#75abba “Oh, if you’ve never been we have to go! Even if we can’t get any good photos, we can at least have some fun on the rides and play some games.”] Auden smiled. She knew that this was something most would do on a date, hell Auden had brought many dates to carnivals. As much as she wanted to call this a date, the whole day with Seraphina, she wouldn’t. She knew the two of them had to discuss their relationship, whether they were just friends or something even more. And she was completely dreading what the answer was. It was easy when Seraphina had no idea of her crush on her, but now the fear of rejection was higher than before.

Auden nodded when she spoke of talking about it later. It was like the woman could read her mind. Auden shared everything with Seraphina, she knew everything about her. This was the one thing she held onto that she didn’t tell Seraphina, and now it was out in the open. But hearing her call her her best friend, a smile rested on her lips. She was happy that Seraphina wanted to continue being her best friend, but the words showed it would probably be nothing more than just best friends. Being best friends would be better than nothing, but that doesn’t mean that her heart will break as she watches her date men whens he knows she could be everything the woman wants and more.

When the waitress dropped their food off, Auden smiled as she saw the woman blush before heading off. She smirked as she walked away, her eyes going back to Seraphina’s. She rolled her eyes, a small laugh escaping her lips. [#75abba “Oh stop.”] she teased, looking back to the teen. The teen was younger than she was, but it was clear she kept looking over to Auden. She smirked, [#75abba “I think she does.”]

The food in front of both of them was incredible. She nodded, she agreed it looked amazing. She started to dig in, letting the flavors dance in her mouth. It was amazing, a small moan coming from her closed lips. [#75abba “Mmm, this is awesome.”] she smiled, digging in more. The comfort of this food was exactly what she needed today. After last night, she would take any kind of comfort she could. It was nice to have the focus off the two of them, as they both became mostly silent as they ate. It was a blessing at this point, to stop her mind running through the events. The touches, the kisses, the feeling of her skin on hers. She shook her head, she couldn’t think about that stuff anymore. They were friends, and that's all they would ever be. She knew that would be the answer she was getting, but she could still remember the most amazing moment of her life.

The worst thing Auden could think of was finally getting over Seraphina. She was able to live her fantasy, and assumed she’d have to agree to stay friends. Finally began dating again, actually putting herself out there. Maybe if she was able to find a woman for her, Seraphina wouldn’t break her heart as much when she found her soulmate as well. It would be hard, but it was all she could do.

While she thought, she realized that she mindlessly ate almost everything in front of her, shaking herself out of her thoughts and looking at Seraphina with a smile. [#75abba “Everything taste okay? The food was perfect.”] Auden smiled, pushing her plate away from her, full from her mindless binge. She took a sip of her water, ready to be alone with the woman again. Ugh, she couldn’t think like that. Nothing like that would happen again, and if it did, Auden would be dreaming.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Watching as the teen pretty much drooled over Auden made Seraphina slightly jealous. She knew that Auden was a beautiful woman, and she was still seeing her in a whole different light. She cocked her head the side as Auden talked about the rides and she couldn't help but smile. [#cc6699 "It sounds perfect honestly. I think we should hit the lake first, then back at the hotel get a quick shower, and then head to the carnival"] she suggested. She wanted to get into her bikini hardcore right then, and she didn't fully understand why.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Bit's and piece's of the events were slowly coming back. The drinking was strong, but there was something else there. As she watched Auden eating she tried to figure out what fully happened. She had felt the other's skin on her's, and that had driven her insane. She wanted that feeling back all of a sudden. She watched as Auden ate, and she couldn't help but wonder what she would do, if she just crawled into her lap and kissed her. That thought surprised her to no end just then. What was happening to her?]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She tore her eyes away from the woman in front of her, and focused on eating her own meal. She was then pulled out of her thoughts by Auden. She looked up towards her and smiled. [#cc6699 "The food was amazing for sure. I think I was a lot more hungry than I thought I had been"] she admitted. Neither one of them really had anything left over, and she was okay with that. That's when the teen came back over with their check. She looked towards Auden and licked her lips lightly, before she cleared her throat and spoke.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "I hope you both enjoyed your food, and that you'll come back soon"] she said as she placed the check down onto the table. The blonde watched as the other walked off, and she wanted to make the teen really jealous, but didn't. She wasn't that heartless. At least she thought she wasn't. She then cocked her head towards the other as she took the check into her fingers. [#cc6699 "I'll pay for this, and you pay for the tickets at the carnival?"] she said as she pulled out her credit card, and slipped it into the slot.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She then waved down the teen and handed it to her. The teen took it, and went to check them out. A little bit later she came back with a pen. [b "Can you sign that for me please?"] she asked. The blonde nodded as she signed her name, and then handed the pen back. She slid her card back into her wallet and turned to Auden. [#cc6699 "Shall we get going?"] she asked as she stood. She wanted to get out of there, and fast. She didn't like how the teen kept coming around.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She was kicking herself, as she made her way to the car. She didn't understand the feelings she was having, but deep down she knew what was happening. At least she thought she knew what was happening. She slid into the car, started it up, and waited. When Auden was inside she followed the directions the other gave, heading straight for the lake, and their first stop for their photoshoot of the day.]]
