Entangled

Evi:
I sneaked Bill out of the house, making sure Nick did not see him.

I walk into the living room, where Nick is still sitting at the kitchen table.
I walk towards the countertop and make myself a good cup of coffee, with milk and a little bit of sugar this time. Just the way I like it.

"You have work today?" Nick asks me, his eyes fixed on the screen of his phone.
"No, tomorrow."

"How was your date?" He looks up from his phone, looking at me with a shy smile on his face.
"You are in love, aren't you?"

He leans back on his chair and looks at his phone again, not answering my question, but his face says it all.

"What's her name?"
He shakes his head. "It's to soon to tell anyone."

"Since when do you care so much?"
"She had a boyfriend when we met. She thinks it's to soon."
I nod. "Okay. Well, I can't wait to meet her."

The hours pass by agonizingly slowly as I waited for Bill to get back from the studio.

After everything that happened, I'm glad it's finally over. Although it doesn't feel the same as it used to be.
I'm not sure it ever will be, but maybe that's okay? Maybe it will be better?

I get a text from Bill that he is home and go to his house. I ring the doorbell and Tom opens the door.

"Hi." He says with a slightly awkward smile on his face.
"Hi." I say, a little uncomfortable, I have to admit.

"Bill is in his room." Tom says and steps aside to let me in.
I walk upstairs and softly knock on Bill's door.

I hear him mumble something before the door swings open.
His annoyed face softens when he looks into my eyes. "Everything okay?" I ask.

"Yes, everything is fine. It's just David, nevermind."

I look at him with a grin on my face.
"Maybe I can cheer you up."

I get closer to him, looking into his eyes and softly press a little kiss on his lips, closing my eyes briefly.

I look into his eyes and kiss him again, and again, and again.
He buries his hands in my hair and starts kissing me back, pulling me closer to him, our bodies touching.

I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing him intensely.

He pulls me into the room with him and gently pushes me down on the bed, crawling on top of me, gently sucking my neck.

His hand slides onder my dress, his fingertips gently making its way towards my innertigh.

A shiver runs through my spine and I get goosebumps all over my body.

For a moment everything seems perfect. I enjoy every touch, every kiss, his body touching mine.

Until this thought takes over my mind again.
The thought of Bill touching Brenda the same way he is touching me right now. Bill kissing her lips, her body, his body close to hers.

I can't get these thoughts out of my head. It is as if they are taking over me completely. As if these images are stuck in my head and I can't push them away.

I can barely feel him touching me. He is close to me, but at the same time he feels so far away.

Bill:
I kiss the crease of her neck and gently suck her skin.

I let my hand slides under her dress and, a little hesitantly, let my fingertips slide towards her innertigh.

For the first time ever, I'm not confident at all.
What if she doesn't like the way I touch her?
What if she liked it better when Tom was touching her? What if.. I try to push this thought away, out of my head, out of my mind.
