Unforgiven __ °Avatrice AU°

Chapter 37:

-I love you., said Ava, clearly not on purpose as her eyes go wide.

Beatrice froze, just looking at her with a surprised expression. She watched as Ava got up and started panicking, clearing her throat as she then started rambling.

-I don't know why I said. I shouldn't have. I'm sorry. Let's just forget that I said that. Okay? This never happened. I didn't say that. You didn't hear that., said Ava, rambling as she tried not to stumble over her words.

Beatrice frowned and got up as well, grabbing Ava's wrist gently to turn her around. She looked at her.

-Ava, breathe., chuckled the taller brunette.

-I am breathing. I'm fine. No, I'm great even. Yup., replied Ava, still talking rapidly.

-Ava., sighed Beatrice, trying to get her to stop.

-We should uh, go to sleep. It's late, remember? Time for bed., continued Ava, avoiding Beatrice's gaze, not moving.

-I swear., chuckled the older girl as she pulled Ava closer to her, putting her hands on Ava's hips to pull her closer quickly.

Ava gasped, surprised by the sudden movement. She finally looked up at Beatrice, not saying a word anymore. Beatrice kept the eye contact for a moment before leaning down and kissing Ava softly on her lips. Ava closed her eyes and melted into the kiss, her body relaxing instantly. Beatrice pulled away after a few seconds, looking at her. She rested her forehead against Ava's.

-I love you too, Ava., whispered Beatrice with a smile on her face.

Ava raised her eyebrows and pulled away to look at Beatrice, wanting to see if she meant it or if she mocking her.

-You do?, questioned Ava with a shy tone.

-I do., nodded Beatrice, not breaking the eye contact.

Ava smiled widely, then basically jumping on Beatrice, hugging her tightly. The taller brunette winced a little but then chuckled and wrapped her arms around Ava. They just stayed like that, holding each other for a little while. After a few minutes passed, Ava pulled away, pecking Beatrice's cheek.

-We really should go to sleep though., chuckled Ava as she looked up at her girlfriend.

-We should., agreed Beatrice, taking Ava's hand and guiding her back to the bed.

Ava laid down on her bed, getting comfortable and then being joined by Beatrice. She laid down next to Ava, not touching her. She left some space between them like she had done the previous night. Of course she wanted to be close to Ava but she wanted Ava to initiate it. Luckily, Ava didn't have to be asked. After Beatrice stopped moving, the younger girl moved closer to her and snuggled up against her. She placed her head against Beatrice's chest. Beatrice couldn't help but smile at that. She wrapped her arms around Ava, pulling her body closer. She rested one hand on Ava's head, playing with her hair, while the other remained around Ava's waist. The smaller girl felt so safe in her arms. She didn't move, closing her eyes and letting out a content sigh. And that is exactly how they spend the night. Beatrice was up a little longer, wanting to be awake to enjoy having Ava that close to her.

It then was around 9am, Beatrice felt something move on the mattress. As she opened her eyes, she watched as Ava opened her closet, looking for an outfit.. Beatrice frowned a little, missing the younger girl's body next to her. She quietly got up, moving behind Ava. She wrapped her arms around Ava's waist but then lifted her up, making Ava yelp and then giggle.

-Got you., chuckled Beatrice, loving the sound of her girlfriend's laughter.

-Bea! Put me doooown., said Ava, still giggling.

-Nope, we're going back to bed., demanded the older girl.

She walked to the bed, still holding Ava by her waist, carrying her and then letting her fall on the bed. Ava turned around to look at Beatrice and shook her head.

-You're an actual dork., stated Ava with a chuckle.

-Only with you., shrugged Beatrice, letting herself fall on the bed, op top of Ava.

-Beaaaaa., chuckled Ava, being squished by her girlfriend.

-Ohhh, this is comfy. Maybe I'll just sleep here., joked Beatrice, not moving off Ava.

-Beaaa, I wont be able to breathe like this for long., pouted Ava, poking Beatrice's side.

To her surprise, Beatrice moved away when she was poked, giggling a little.

-You're ticklish?, questioned Ava with a smirk.

Beatrice looked at her and shook her head rapidly.

-Nope!, replied Beatrice, moving away completely off Ava now.

-Oh, you are!, stated the younger girl.

She sat up and poked Beatrice's side again, watching as she giggled again.

-Ava! Don't you dare do it again., warned Beatrice with a smile on her face.

Ava smirked once again. She moved closer to her girlfriend, now full on tickling her. Beatrice tried to move away, but her body giving in every time she got tickled. She couldn't stop giggling. The giggles turned quickly into a laughter.

-Ava! Ava- stooooop!, yelled Beatrice as she continued to laugh.

-I don't think I will., replied Ava with a smile on her face and she continued tickling her.

-Stoooooop it-, tried Beatrice but another laughter interrupted her.

-Make me., stated Ava, not stopping.

Beatrice was still laughing, but hearing Ava say that unlocked the little self control that her body had left. She caught both of Ava's hands, looking in her eyes with a smirk. Ava raised her eyebrows and looked at her, her heart beating faster as she saw Beatrice's expression and smirk. Beatrice pushed her down gently, following her body. She was once again hovering over her. She pinned Ava's both hands above her hand with a singular hand.

-So, I would make you stop, hm?, teased Beatrice with a chuckle.

-Yeah- Yeah, that's what I uh, what I said., nodded Ava, being at a lost of words.

-You're so cute when you're flustered., stated Beatrice.

She let go of Ava and laid down next to her.

-Can we cuddle?, asked Beatrice, looking at her girlfriend who hadn't move.

-God you're such a tease., sighed Ava, turning to her side, her back facing Beatrice.

-You love it., said Beatrice with a shrug.

There was a silence. Beatrice frowned a little, overthinking it a little.

-Do you not?, asked the older girl.

Ava nodded, but didn't turn around.

-I do. I do like it. But you keep...you keep turning me on, Bea. But I am not ready for any of that yet. I'm just...I'm scared that you don't want to wait for that long. You obviously already want to-, started Ava but she then felt arms around her waist.
