The Promise

56) Aurora

I tiptoe inside our shared suit closing the door behind me and let out a yelp when the lights open and Dionne is sitting on the bed, her hair messy and eyes wide with Zaira next to her, hair messed up as well both looking at me.

"Guys, you look scary." I drawl, they both sprint off of the bed and towards me, I didn't get the time to turn around when I get crushed from both sides in a tight embrace.

They both pull away in the same moment eyes narrowing, Zaira speaks first "You smell manly." Then Dionne, "You smell like HIM!". I blush as they both look at me and we hold a staring contest for a while then burst out in a fit of giggles till, we fall to the ground.

We stay like that, with the lights now off, on the cold tiles and laughing. Dionne lifts her head up as she stops laughing pointing in my face, "Did you lose your virginity yet?" Zaira snorts, "Considering his size and height and major hotness. if he did take her virginity, she wouldn't be able to walk." I widen my eyes, "Guys stop, this didn't happen!" Zaira cackles "finally I'm not the one getting roasted."

We lay on the ground again and Dionne quips again, "Ro, at least you kissed. I can't stop thinking about it, God!" she throws her hands up. I giggle, "Um, yes we did." This gets both of their attentions and they lift themselves on their elbows looking at me. "Tell us about it." Zaira says, I take a deep breath and look her way "But you won't tell Crew anything. "She nods and mimics zipping her mouth.

"it's not our first time anyways, but- "I'm stopped by Zaira's gasp, "Ugh Z, stop. Go on, sweetie." Dionne says. "Wait, you knew?!" Zi squeals and I giggle again. "Now I'm offended, but go on. I'll listen while offended." I nod and tell them what happened.

Dionne then says softly, "Ro, I saw him yesterday. You know I'm sorry, but I really didn't believe he was capable of letting emotions show. He was like a walking machine he didn't even show disappointment." She pauses and tells us, "The first time I saw emotions show, was the time he yelled at me when Ro disappeared. I wasn't mad at him even it was like seeing an iceberg crack. Though, Ro was about to eat him alive for it. "She smirks at me and my eyes widen as I sit up, "You knew? "She rolls her eyes, "Of course I did, one, your voice was very high and two I didn't get the chance to fall asleep. I heard you, I was chanting for you at our place.

"Hold up, hold up." Zaira raises her hands, "You're telling me that, Aurora yelled at our boss?!" Dionne nods, "Yes, like a mom scolding her kiddy kiddo" I snort at that, if anything I'm his kiddy kiddo not the other way around. "'m gay." Zaira quips, I laugh "I'll tell Crew." She waves it away and we continue gossiping about everything.

"So, you guys just kissed nothing else happened?" Zaira asks and I nod. "Do you have feelings for him, Ro?" Dionne asks eyes searching mine. I look away, this girl grew to know me very fast; I'm afraid she'll see it in my eyes. This is a hell of a question that I have been avoiding even with myself. I nod slightly, "I think so, but I'm not sure of my next move. I enjoy my time with him, my present. He brings out the little girl in me. He also is very comfy to be around, but" I trail off.

"I still can't trust it. not him, I trust him. I can't trust myself; I don't want to hurt him." I finish and they both nod in understanding. I sigh, "I'll just let it be and see what might happen."

Dionne looks up and grins, "Girl's night in, Ro can't go outside she's still tired and we have no intentions to leave, too. So, food, movies and spilling or guts."

I smile at then as Zaira pulls out her phone, "I'll tell Crew I'll be unavailable tonight and turn off the phone. Both of you, phones off quality time on."

We scatter around the room and turn off our phones enjoying our night in. My mind keeps wondering what is he doing and to our morning. My cheeks heat up as I remember us tangled together and making out. It was something different, I felt so good and I didn't want it to end, but it had to because he looked like he was in pain. I smile at his expression when I asked what's wrong, he said 'an unwanted man's problem' I was so confused till I understood.

I tried; I really did try not to look. But I did and I wish I didn't because now it's etched in my mind. If this is how it looks as a bulge in the pants, how does it look - fuck my mind, I should stop! "Hey, earth to Aurora!" Dionne waves a hand in front of my eyes. "Yes?" she narrows her eyes smirking, "Aladdin or Tangled?" she asks, "Sinbad" I say sighing dramatically as I lay back and they both laugh understanding.
