"Paint me like a French girl"
Earlier this morning, Giya dropped Mira off at the Edens' house. Claudia was leaving for her next shift when they got there so Giya offered to give her a lift because she was heading in that direction anyway.
Mira went upstairs to find Aiden.
Claudia said he probably cried the bug out of his system last night because he was doing much better today.
When Mira found him he was still asleep in his room. Usually, he was the early bird.
Avery met her outside his room door and she whispered in Mira's ear. "He snuck out yesterday and only returned a couple of hours ago."
Mira made a mental note to ask him about it later.
Avery smiled, quietly closing Aiden's door as she leaned down to kiss Mira and they both giggled as they walked over to Avery's room. When they got there, Avery clasped Mira's cheeks and gave her a peck on her nose.
Mira felt a wet smudge on her face. She touched it and when she pulled her hand away, it revealed green paint. Avery chuckled and looked down at her hands where her paint was.
There was paint everywhere, Mira noted. She bit her lip, walking over to Avery's canvas. She picked up a brush, walked over to Avery and booped her nose with it.
"Now we're even," Mira said satisfied.
"I don't think so."
Avery took the brush from her. She traced it along Mira's face and down her neck leaving a trail of blue in its path.
For a moment, Avery and Mira's eyes lingered on each other. The air between them became electric, drawing them together.
Avery dropped her gaze to the paint and cleared her throat, looking away from Mira. She reached for her tissues.
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure why I did that," she said softly as she wiped away the paint.
"I don't mind. It felt nice."
Avery paused as Mira blushed at her words. She took the tissues from Avery and wiped herself as Avery took a step back to restrain herself.
She didn't want to make any sudden moves that might make Mira uncomfortable.
Avery wanted to paint Mira... No, she wanted to paint on Mira.
She internally slapped herself.
'Control yourself, Eden,' she thought as she watched Mira walk around her room investigating random objects, almost as if she was in a museum.
She cleared her throat again getting Mira's attention. "Make yourself at home."
