After Effects

Chapter 48. - Nothing New

I threw the used towel over my shoulder and looked in the mirror. My hair was wet and a few water drops were on my shoulders. I sighed at the sight of myself.

What the fuck happened in that photobooth? 

One moment we were just taking pictures and messing around and the next i almost had my tongue in her mouth. How could i be so stupid? 

Why did that old son of a bitch lady have to interrupt us? Why the fuck did Solveig even have to kiss me in the first place? I was perfectly fine with not knowing how good her lips felt on mine and now that was ruined. Now all i could think about was her. 

Her, her, her! 

Her lips on mine, her body against me, her hair, her lavender scent, her tongue just touching mine before interruption, her hand in my hair, her hand on my neck, her butt on my thighs, the way her lips tasted like vanilla, her breathing.

What did it even mean? Did it even mean anything? 

There was only 3 options. 

1. the moment made her do it. 

2. she was just horny and hoping for a hookup. 

3. it was a pose for the picture.

Yes. Those were the 3 options. But it wouldn't really make sense to keep on kissing after the picture was already taken... but what did i know? I wasn't not her. I was not Solveig or her thoughts or her brain - i didn't know shit.

"Fuck!" I scolded myself. I grabbed my hoodie and shorts, took them on and opened the bathroom door as i rubbed my eye. I knew we needed to do this, but it was perhaps going to be the most devastating conversation i'd have with her yet or the best... but we needed to talk it through. 

We couldn't let any more go unspoken. 

"Hey Solveig, do you think we could talk about what happened at the park-" I stopped talking when i saw her sleeping body in the bed. She laid on her back with one of her hands on my pillow. She wasn't wearing any top. Nothing but a bra on her upper body. I didn't want to bother her with a serious conversation when she was asleep. The time was almost 01.00 after all and i guess she'd had quite a day since she didn't go to that Rain Room thing. 

Solveig groaned and rolled onto her side facing me. 

"Mhm... what?" She mumbled half asleep. I must've woken her up.

"Sorry, it's nothing. Go back to sleep." I told her. I took my phone from my pocket and texted the others asking if they wanted to get a drink at the bar with me. I heard light tapping on my pillow just as i pressed send. I saw Solveig tapping my pillow with her eyes still closed and a bit of drool on it's way to her pillow. 

"Come here." She mumbled. I felt a small smile on my lips. Even drooling and sleepy she was adorable. 

I laid down next to her on the bed. She didn't waste a second before snuggling closer to me. Her arm over my stomach and her head just under my arm so she was hiding her face in my side. I felt her give my rips a little kiss through my hoodie. 

"Hmm... you're nice and warm." She put her legs over mine and nuzzled her head against me like a cat. 

"Just got out of the shower." 

"So that's why you don't stink now." She mumble barely audible. I rolled my eyes at her. Even half asleep i was still her bullying victim. "Mmm... goodnight., Bojci" She nuzzled against me again to show her love. I took her hand on my stomach and squeezed so she knew i loved her back.
