{His touch is felt – truly felt – even if it is just a ghost of an embrace in the real world. She wonders if it’s because they’re in her space that she can feel it. Just in case she turns her head up and kisses him softly before settling back down and resting her head on his shoulder.}
Ugh. No, I didn’t know. I’m not surprised though. {Jealousy returns, curling up her legs as she frowns.} She probably thinks you’ll pull out all the stops to make it up to her. Or she’s hoping for a repeat performance.
{Flashes of her conversation with Kiki and Peter come up, like a projection of a movie on the walls of the house, highlighting the blonde’s continual assumption that they had had sex that night. It’s obvious now, as it was then, Kiki’s clearly trying to get a rise out of Helena, especially when she sees she bears marks as well, and it annoys and amuses her all at once. Questions on kink are met with a quiet internal laugh in the negative, smothering the thought with because it wasn’t sexual while trying not to think of past boyfriends. It’s met with middling success, a dusty box appears in the corner but its unopened, Thank god.}
Oh, yes. We did. {She can feel his dislike of this notion and she tightens her embrace. It’s a shame because she likes Ella, the name evoking lots of happy feelings and a great level of trust and understanding between the two of them.} She’s concerned and worried about Him. She thinks it could happen again. I’m not so sure but it couldn’t hurt? {There is a very soft, very faint, murmur of agreement, a voice both like and unlike Helena’s, and while Vlad might no place it, she knows who it is and she buries her face in his neck, embarassed.}
And even without this… this… complication, this isn’t the first time she wanted us all to get together. I think she thinks it would be nice. A sort of double date. The important people in her life at a table, and those who are important to them in turn. {Her own apprehension is there. She’s never been in the room with Ella and Vlad before, and she knows they don’t get along well. And she’s never met their mysterious Daniel. She feels like the fourth wheel in their little operation.} But we don’t have to if you don’t wish to.
