toni pushes cheryl into her trailer, lifting her from underneath so shes sitting on her table.

she lifts her hand and cups her face, pulling her in for a kiss, but she hovers over Cheryls lips, their noses almost touching. "so, how long do you plan on doing this?" she says, her lips brushing Cheryls as she speaks. "doing what?" "seeing me alone, random hookups but never actually being together in public." she says, pulling away from From cheryl. she whimpers from the lack of contact, and says, "just until i can move out. my mother would kill me if i dated you. you're a girl, and a serpent." her hands fly back up to her face, pulling her in for a kiss.

"cheryl. i don't want to be a secret. i want to be able to be happy together and be in a real relationship. what am i to you? a girlfriend or a fuckbuddy?" she says, anger rising in her voice.

"toni.." she murmurs, caressing her face to calm her "i want to be with you. i do, but i cant right now, soon, i promise" she says, pressing my forehead against hers.

"fine." she sighs

"toniiii"

"what?" she responds

"you're mad at me now." Cheryl whines

"no i'm not. i'm trying to control myself and not fuck you senseless."

...you know what happened next.

*few hours later*

toni dropped cheryl off at home on her motorcycle, pressing her swollen lips against cheryls before driving off.

she opens the door to thornhill, "hello?" she yells, not expecting her mother's voice to answer her back.

"CHERYL!"

"what, mother."

"who is this girl, whos always attached to you at the hip, dropping you off and picking you up.

"she's just a friend mother."

"oh yeah? then why did you KISS her just now."

shit. 

"mother, it's a friendship thing. female friends kiss eachother as a greeting and farewell" she says, trying to sound as if its something obvious, like penelope is behind the times.

she strides towards her, pushing herinto the wall and wrapping her hand around Cheryls neck. her sharp nails dig into Cheryls skin, leaving dark marks. "if i see you galavanting around with her, doing anything more than friendly i will END you. is that clear?" she says

"yes, mother." she mutters, swallowing back tears.

"speak up child." she spits, glaring at cheryl.

"YES, mother." she enunciates, trying to slip away from Her mothers grip.

"alright class, today were in partnerships"

toni turns to cheryl

"partners?

"in your dreams" cheryl says, playing it off cool but winking at toni

toni knows what that wink means.

its a subtle "yes, but i cant say it outloud"

she bites her tongue and sighs "well, i can say i tried."

she walks out of the classroom, chatting with fangs 

"soo...blossom rejected you?" he asks

"not 'rejected' more like...didnt say yes..?"
