The Thirst Trap (Mariah May x OC)

eight

"I am not talking about what happened after Dynamite." Mariah said instantly as she walked into the makeup room and could see all eyes on her. "You all should realize by now I don't gossip."

"She kissed him." Kris said to Harley who nodded in agreement. Mariah's eyes rolled as she moved closer to the two. They were the only two she would actually tell.

"As a matter of fact.... He kissed me." Both of their mouths dropped as Toni's head snapped towards Mariah. She had just barely heard the younger woman's words.

"He what!" A glare was shot at Toni who was louder than expected. As more eyes were drawn to them Mariah shut down slightly.

"I'm going to get coffee." She said quickly and before anyone could say anything else she turned on her heels and left the room.

"Fuck I didn't mean to...." Toni said quietly before they both nodded. "I just can't believe Turtle kissed her...."

"Chère? You alright?" Andrew carefully caught Mariah's arm as he passed her in the hall. He had seen her acting differently as she had approached and instantly knew something was up.

"I...." Their eyes met for a moment before she could feel his arms wrap around her carefully. "Thank you.... I needed this." She said as she returned the hug.

"Course.... What happened Mariah?" He questioned quietly.

"I.... I might've fucked up and told them you kissed me...." She spoke quick but he heard every word and turned red. "I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to it just slipped out."

"I might've mentioned the kiss to Kris.... But I never said who kissed who.... I.... I don't care if you don't care." He could feel her lips press against his cheek. "Want to chill tonight? Let me have a fair fight against you in Mario?"

"Yes please.... Harley's been trying to drag me out to drink and I do not want to." He chuckled lightly.

"Kris has been trying to do the same.... Think we need to tell them both it's time to just let us be adults and stop trying to hook us up...." She looked up at him before she quickly tiptoed so her lips could meet his. There was a smile along his lips when she pulled away.

"Yeah.... I mean I think it's already worked." He chuckled softly.

"Has it now?" Her lips met his cheek again.

"Yes it has." This time she could feel him kiss her cheek.

"Then how about instead of chilling we find somewhere to have a nice meal?" Her eyes met his before she nodded.

"I think I'd like that even more." She quickly looked around and just as she noticed that the coast was clear he kissed her. "You know I don't fancy getting caught by everyone right now."

"I saw what you saw. Come on now Chère." She lightly laughed before her lips met his cheek. "I'm sure you've probably got to go so don't let me keep you...."

"I do unfortunately...." She could feel his lips just barely brush his cheek.

"Thats alright Chère. I'll see you later though eh?" She instantly nodded.

"Find a place Drew and we'll go after we're done." Mariah could see a smile along Andrew's lips as he nodded. "Fuck I just...." She couldn't resist. Her lips connected with his for a brief moment. "I'm sorry. I just...." Andrew chuckled before quietly responding.

"Don't be."

"Who the fuck are you and what have you done with Turtle?" Skye commented as she looked over Andrew's shoulders and could see him looking at restaurants.

"You know sometimes I would love five minutes of privacy." He commented as he put his phone away.

"Take her to the first place. She'll like that most...." Their eyes met for a moment. "I'm being one thousand percent truthful. She will. I promise you Turtle I wouldn't fuck with you like that."

"Since when are you all calling me Turtle?" She laughed.

"Since she broke you of your shell...." She said before she started to walk away. Just before she did she turned back towards him. "The first place. Trust me." Skye walked off once she saw Andrew nod. "They're going on a date." She said as she caught Kris' arm. Kris instantly stopped.

"What?" A nod came from the younger woman. "You're fucking with me.... There's no fucking way."

"Kris did you hear they're going on a date?!" Harley said excitedly as she came up on the two.

"Wait what?" The blonde laughed at the fact that Kris was still in disbelief. "How do you both know?"

"Mariah told me." Harley said before they both looked over at Skye who spoke.

"I saw him looking at restaurants. We all know how he is after a show so...." Kris mouth dropped. "I know...."

"Who in the fuck is he and what has he done with Turtle?" Harley laughed before replying to Kris.

"Turtle met Mariah."

=~=~=~=
"Hello Chère." Mariah couldn't help her smile as she felt a careful hand move to the small of her back. As Andrew moved closer to her she couldn't help the fact that she turned before her lips discreetly met his cheek. "The heels are a nice touch." He said quietly.

"Thought it would be nice being your height for once." He chuckled lightly as a smile appeared along his lips.

"It is nice." He replied before her eyes flicked towards the parking lot. "Shall we?"

"We probably should before we have them all following us." He turned slightly red.

"Skye may or may not know where we're going so if they wanted to they could.... But I think they also know we'd kill them." She laughed as she nodded before they started towards his car.

"That I bloody would." She could see him bite the inside of his cheek. "Don't you even start with my accent.... Not until you admit yours is just as hot." He chuckled.

"Doesn't compare to yours Chère." He said before he opened the car door for her. Once she was in the car he could feel his arm get grabbed. It was a mere second before her lips were on his. Mariah spoke next as her lips pressed to Andrew's cheek.

"You have no bloody clue Babes."
