Chapter 21

The bed sheets were warm; crumpled and now empty as both of our bodies ejected from the bed. Larissa had let a few tears fall and I was of course comforting her. She was the most beautifully built human being and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Everything I did from now on was for her. As we walked away from the bed all I could do was hold her as she did for me. This was a whole lot for anybody let alone a married woman. Larissa was going to be a mess for a while, conflicted between all these horrendous but magical feelings.

"Rissy?" She was two steps ahead of me already, walking towards my bathroom. Just steps behind her I held my hand out, capturing hers that she had held out behind her back. I didn't want to ruin anything right now, she was beyond vulnerable and delicate- just like how I'd arrived at Nevermore. I was scared and felt somewhat lonely even though I had everything I could have asked for. I could only imagine that was what she was feeling in this second.
Larissa walked up to my bathroom mirror, seeing me stood quietly behind her just looking. I was forever astonished by her beauty and her majestic look. She was a goddess to me, I wanted her to know that. "Yes" her reply was simple but heartfelt. Her eyes were still glossy, I could see the tiredness behind them.

"Whatever happens, whatever you decide..." my voice broke slightly not wanting to face the reality that this could be not what I dreamt of last night, not what I'd planned. She had a husband, someone she married for a reason. I didn't even know she was a reacted to women. "I'll be here; night and day" I ended my sentence with a smile, the smile she claimed she loved so dearly. Weems lifted her arm up to her face, looking in the mirror as she wiped under her right eye and then doing the same to the left- getting the mascara that had smudged. "I know you will be, that's why your special" she spoke through stifles.

Her body turned to face mine. She clicked her knuckles but didn't know what else to say. Knowing that we'd have so much more to speak about I didn't want all of that to come out now. She needed time. Walking closer to her by the second I watched her, taking in all her features especially the ones I hadn't noticed before. I watched as her lip curled up at the corners when she was being serious, how her eyes sparkled even more when she looked happy and content. It made me realise I was serious about this 'relationship'. I wasn't even able to call this that yet but I was prepared.

As I reached her curved figure I extended my arms out, looking up at her. I found her smile reach all corners of the earth as she looked back at me. "Do you want to grab a hot chocolate?" Through out all of this I knew the other thing she loved- a dreamy and creamy hot chocolate. I knew she disappoint she felt when Xavier had placed those marshmallows in mine but not hers that day. Wiping her nose this time she nodded, facing back towards the mirror as she searched for some sort of makeup bag. "Here" I spoke up, running back behind me into my room and grabbing my makeup bag from my desk and coming back into Larissa's view. I handed her my makeup bag and watched as the older woman looked through it, pulling out my mascara. Once she'd applied it along her top lashes several times on both eyes she puckered up her lips- all ready.

"I'm ready for that hot chocolate Ms y/n" she smiled at me with the most precious expression making my heart melt. I reached my arm out again, hooking it around hers in a jokey manner trying to make her laugh to forget about the tears. "Come" mimicking her recent response to me in the cafeteria I dragged her close to my dorm door, but not before we both scurried to clutch onto our belongings. "Act natural"
She laughed. There it was. There was the laugh that melted my heart and soul. Giggling back at the blonde I opened my dorm door, surprisingly I was met with Wednesday coming out of hers at the exact same moment. I gasped quickly, gently pushing Weems backwards behind my door.

Wednesday looked at me weirdly bit nonetheless walked towards me. This really was not the best time. I could hear Larissa behind the door in my room cursing herself out that we could of just been caught walking out of my dorm together. "It's okay" I reassured her quietly as I shut it all the way leaving her alone in my dorm but able to bear everything I was talking about with Wednesday.
