Unexpected you (GxG)

Chapter 17

We both were tangled up together under the comforters after finishing our bath with only a loose shirt and underwear.

My head rested on her chest as she held me in her arm while her other free arm stroked my hair gently. But none of us talked as we were lost in our own thoughts.

Kaya came to call us for dinner almost as soon as we got out of the bathroom. But something kept us from joining them as it made us feel no hunger. Kaya must have felt it in the air too- since she never questioned our uninterest in dinner.

And now, we both were consumed in a silence that exactly Isn't uncomfortable, but the urge to say something- or better yet, to say whatever is in our mind to eachother is something we both are sharing. Yet none of us made a move yet.

And yet, if none of us makes a move, we'll be going nowhere. And if one of us talks, the other will too. Thus, we can start pouring out our thoughts out loud.

As much as I feel like i don't want to risk bringing something that could ruin a supposedly good night, I still can't always depend on leona. Especially when this us is a huge thing for her, not to mention a first too.

So, gulping away my anxiety I try to speak with as much less-nervousness I can. “Why did it took you.... So long to join me?"

A hum vibrated throughout leona's chest as she stayed silent for a while, probably trying to figure out the right words to say.

“To put it bluntly- I think- no. I did got turned on." She says almost sounding embarrassed.

I frown. “I'm sorry. I shouldn’t have done that."

A soft kiss on my forehead made me look up at her. She had a soft yet serious expression on her face. “There is no ‘shouldn’t', kitten. There shouldn’t be. Because I-... I loved it." The last part came out as a whisper as a light blush coats her cheeks.

A grin comes over my lips before I could stop. “Of course you did." I joke while chuckling lightly, feeling a weight being lifted off my chest.

She rolls her eyes and grins. “Yeah yeah, okay. I'll let you have your moment."

I bite my lower lip to fight another chuckle that threatened to come out. I trail my fingers along the soft skin of her stomach that was slightly exposed before trailing downwards until my fingertips reached the place where the inked serpent is.

Leona, feeling where my fingertips stopped and kept lingering, gave a sigh. “I'm sorry."

My head snapped towards her so fast that I'm sure leona received a whiplash as she flinched a little.

She blinks her eyes at my questioning stare before looking away. I open my mouth, about to ask why she's saying sorry until she cuts me off herself.

“I never really told you about myself, have I?" As soon as the words leaves her lips, realization dawned me while she continued. “You told me such secrets about yourself without any hesitation. But I kept you in the dark about my life. I'm kind of a jerk right there, aren’t I? I suppose old habit dies hard. I'm sorry, Xavith."

It's true that she never told me her story. I know just as much everyone knows about her, that's it. I'm not gonna lie and say that I've never thought about asking her about her story to know about her, more then anyone. But I was being patience. I wanted her to take her time to tell me herself. So these thoughts never bugged me.

But when I trailed touches over her tattoo today, it was clearly because I wanted to know why she got it, what's the story behind it. Leona clearly caught on that too, but she saw more to it than I was showing.
