Green-Eyed | Violentine

Part Eleven | All Our Tomorrows Together

Violet takes a step forward without breaking the intense kiss forcing Clementine to step back towards the open door. The brunette allows herself to be guided into the house while still reciprocating the kiss, without opening her eyes she finds the door and swings it closed behind them. The loud slam causes the two girls to pull apart with breathing laboured and eyes filled with lust.

Violet pulls away from Clementine and hovers awkwardly in the hallway, rain drips onto the tiles from her soaked clothes, "shit sorry" Violet says as she notes the pool slowly growing around her feet. She looks at Clementine as if for permission before balling her hoodie up and over her head, the soaked fabric hangs heavy in her hands, her undershirt is also drenched.

It suddenly dawns on Clementine how cold she is standing there in the hallway shivering in her wet clothes, the blonde probably feels the same. Clementine gestures for Violet to follow her upstairs, "you have a shower and put I'll put your clothes on the radiator" she says. The two girls linger outside the upstairs bathroom a silence falling between them. There's a question that Clementine is desperate to ask but she's overcome by shyness, without knowing the same question is on the tip of Clementine's tongue Violet asks it first.

"Can I stay here tonight? I don't want to impose but I really don't want to stay at mine" Violet's voice is small like she's expecting rejection, to reassure her Clementine smiles and takes Violet's hand.

"Of course," she replies.

Violet sighs with a smile and enters the bathroom, leaving the door slightly ajar so she can pass her wet clothes to Clementine who waits on the landing. Clementine can hear the quiet noises of fabric being removed and she holds her breath as Violet's arm appears around the door, holding a pile of clothes. Clementine is too occupied at gazing at Violet's bare arm that she forgets all about the clothes she's supposed to be taking.

Violet's head appears around the door, her body is partially hidden by the wood between them but Clementine can tell that the other girl is naked and it makes her heart pound in her chest. Clementine gazes at the blonde's defined collarbone and the lack of clothes that cover her bare shoulder. She gets flashbacks to Louis's party when she watched Violet exit the bathroom wrapped only in a towel, her figure showing through the thin fabric. She feels hot and bothered just like she did back then.

"Clementine," says Violet in a sing-song manner, the brunette shakes those thoughts out of her head and takes the clothes. Violet smiles, pulling her hand and body back inside the bathroom before gently closing the door with a click. Violet turns on the shower as she lingers in front of the bathroom mirror while she waits for the water to heat up. Her cheeks are hot and her skin is still red from the kisses under the storm, blotches bloom on her skin over her shoulders and across her chest.

As much as she tries to keep her cool Violet's falling head over heels for Clementine. She's so scared to open up, being physically intimate isn't the issue, she's experienced that time and time again with Minerva but actually showing your soul to someone else, that's entirely different. Violet's always been closed off, but something about Clementine makes her want to open up. Violet shakes her head and steps under the heat of the shower relaxing under the warm stream of water that washes her frustrations and worries away.

After Clementine and Violet have both showered and the brunette has fished out a t-shirt and pair of shorts for the blonde to wear they sit on Clementine's bed, backs leaning against the wall and bare knees lightly touching. Clementine has wrapped herself in a thick blanket, one of the corners rests in Violet's lap and she's got her fingers wrapped around the soft material.

"Are you alright?" Clementine asks noting Violet's silence.

Violet smiles at Clementine "I'm sorry I got so carried away earlier Clem, I don't want to scare you off by making you think I only wanted to come over here to do stuff with you," she shifts awkwardly, almost embarrassed to bring up the topic of sex around a girl she's so attracted to.
