It was just that one night when Merel accidentally cuddled up to her but it should change everything. As soon as Charlotte woke up, she fell in love with this warm body against her own and never wanted to let it go again.
The two of them always shared a bedroom when Delain was on tour and never something like this happened. They had seen each other naked thousands of times and never any feelings appeared.
But suddenly, there was this urge in Charlotte to pet Merel's hair which seemed to be so soft, spread all over their bodies. The need to protect this little and yet so strong human being who seemed so peaceful right now. And a thought in her mind about exploring the taste of those lips that were curled up to a smile.
Just when Charlotte was about to dream away and allowed all her thoughts to be present, Merel blinked and stretched her arms, wondering where she was. But as soon as she felt the warmth of another body she didn't dare to move again, fearing that she had done something dumb last night and couldn't remember it anymore.
She slowly looked up to see who the other person was and was relieved to find Charlotte's red locks tickling her nose. "Thank god it's just you!"
Charlotte grinned somewhat sheepishly, "Yeah, just you and me alone in a hotel room."
Merel was able to relax as soon as her voice sounded and curled up again, burrowing her nose in red hair. Charlotte watched how the other woman closed her eyes and breathed against her neck, slightly tickling her. The air was so filled with love and peace that she couldn't help herself but place a slight kiss on Merel's forehead before falling back asleep.
