Time will Tell

Deena's P.O.V.

What the hell was that?

The way Tine was staring at me moments ago, I think it was the first time I saw that look from her.

It was like, she was lusting over me, which I'm sure was impossible but it really looked like that.

When my shirt got wet, I saw how her eyes traveled from my neck to my chest and eventually to my stomach, but lingering an extra second on my chest, or was it my breasts she was looking at?

It was not the first time she'd seen me in my underwear. 

I mean, we always go to the beach where we wear bikinis and stuff, and not once did I see her looking at my body for a couple of seconds.

Yeah, okay, when I was trying out clothes or showing off my sexy outfits, she looked at it and appreciated it but never like earlier.

Was it just me or did it really happen?

"Hey, what took you so long?" Tine looked like she was waiting for me when I emerged from her bathroom.

"Was it long?" Tine nodded.

And there it was again, she was looking at me differently.

I was wearing a bathrobe while drying my hair with another towel.

Her eyes traveled from mine and then lingered on my chest. My robe was not properly tied so it was opened a little bit.

I was not expecting to see her here obviously but here she was, waiting for me.

"Tine?" I had to get her attention as she seemed like she had gone somewhere.

"Ohh- Yeah, sorry. I was umm, I was waiting for you, been itching to shower." She passed by me and didn't even wait for me to answer her.

What is happening to her?

I tried to shake that thought off my head.

I went through her closet and found something for me to wear. 

By the time Tine was done, I had dried my hair already, set up the TV to watch a little bit of news and I was already under the covers.

I'm actually feeling tired.

Today felt like a long day. With all the catching up with my team, and with other departments, it was a bit tiring and I feel really swamped.

"Sleepy already?" Tine asked. She was wearing a robe as well and a towel hugging her head.

"A little bit." I threw her one look and pretended to focus on the TV while I knew she was looking at me while she went to her closet.

She came out all dressed.

Too hot for my liking, I may add.

She was wearing a lacy black night dress, no bra.

Yes, I could tell as I could see her nipple on that silk fabric. It was too short too, if she would bend over even a little, I would see her ass cheeks already.

I swallowed what seemed to be a big lump from my throat and diverted my eyes to the TV, even though I knew for a fact that that image of her would live in my head rent-free.

What the hell is she doing?

This was the first time I saw her dressed like that.

We had many sleepovers and never once she wore that. I didn't even know she owned one.

"I'm just gonna go get a water." I told her without looking at her.

Her room suddenly became hot despite her air-conditioning being turned on.

Went down to her kitchen and opened the fridge. I didn't get water right away but let the coolness of the fridge embrace me.

Fuck! 

Tine's image playing in my head. Her wet hair added to her allure, making it even harder to get her out of my head. 

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I grabbed a bottle of water, hoping it would help cool me off. I grabbed another one for her.

I knew I had to pull myself together. 

I took a big gulp of water, letting the cold liquid soothe my dry throat.

After a moment, I felt a bit more composed and decided it was time to head back upstairs. 

I couldn't stay in the kitchen forever. 

As I climbed the stairs, I tried to focus on anything else but Tine and her nightdress.

When I got back to her room, she was sitting on the bed, flipping through the channel. The lights were already turned off.

She looked up and smiled at me, making my heart race a little faster.

"You okay?" She asked.

I handed her the other bottle before speaking.

"Of course, I just felt thirsty."

God knows how much I fought not to look at her body but just at her eyes.

I turned to the other side of the bed, put the bottle down the side table, and lay down.

"You want to watch something?" I asked her. Her behind facing me. Even with just the light coming from the TV, I could see how smooth her back was.

Her nightdress didn't cover even half of her back, which was torture for me now.

To my surprise, she looked back at me and caught me staring at her behind.

"Can't... find something to watch." She said with a pause, looking at my eyes and my lips.

"Hmm... Shall we sleep? I'm really tired and I have this meeting with finance tomorrow and haven't even prepared anything yet." I fixed the comforter and positioned myself in the bed, so ready to call it a night.

"Okay." Tine turned off the TV and laid beside me.

As soon as she lay down, I caught a whiff of her scent, a scent that she only owned, the scent I would recognize wherever I go, and it intoxicated me.

I had to close my eyes when it filled my nose as different sensations hit me at once.

The purpose of that 2 weeks off I had seemed to vanish in the air.

Just lying here close to Tine made it so easy for all my feelings to flood me.

"Deena?" It was almost a whisper but I heard it.

Gently, I opened my eyes. As soon as I did, I was greeted by those green eyes that flicked by the soft light coming from the window.

They were searching my face, her features so soft.

"Yeah?" I replied, my voice just as soft.

She reached out, her fingers brushing against my cheek. The touch sent a shiver down my spine.

"I have missed you." She said, her voice full of sincerity and emotions.

She smiled, but it was a sad smile, not the one that usually made my heart swell. There was a hint of pain in her eyes if I'm not mistaken, but why?

It's like an instinct, my hand reached up to hers that was on my cheek.

"I missed you too, Tine." I said in a hoarse voice. I know she heard me as her lips curved a smile.

Everything happened so fast, that I didn't notice her leaning toward me, all I felt was when her lips touched mine.

Her eyes were closed opposite to mine.

Tine kissed me!

And she's sober this time!
