Who: Tasha and Hal What: Saying three magic words Where: Their place When: Late September Warning: It's them so lol
As soon as Tasha walked in that day, she peeled off the dress she'd been wearing and tossed it in the dirty clothes pile for laundry day. She'd been spit up on by the baby and had no desire to sit on that dress for any longer than she needed to. She had absolutely no desire to put more clothes on either so she didn't and went into the kitchen wearing her bra and panties to see what she could make them for dinner. - "I had something I was gonna tell you..." Hal sighed as he walked in, eyes widening as he took her in. "Honestly. I did. But the minute I saw how you look right now? All coherent thoughts went on vacation." He was falling more and more in love with his best friend every day lately, but honestly hadn't even entirely admitted it to himself yet, much less to her. - "I got spit up on" She explained as she moved through out the kitchen getting things for their dinner out. She usually didn't make a habit of shedding her clothes the second the stepped inside. Cooking into her underwear was going to be interesting but she was too hungry to go get clothes on at the moment. "If you really wanna talk, you could go grab me something to put on" She pointed out as she began putting things together. - "You're kidding me, right?" He asked incredulously, eyeing her up like a gourmet dinner. "I'd rather get the rest off of you." Shaking his head, he let out a low whistle. "God DAMN you are hot as hell." - Looking up, she saw the way he was looking at her and grinned. Keeping ahold of what was in her hand, she struck a sexy pose with it, giving him a chance to look at her even more. After a moment, she went back to what she was doing as she began throwing things into a pan. "Later man. I'm starving. I didn't get a lunch today" - "So...." He began, walking over to her and slipping his arms around her waist from behind. "You're saying you DON'T want me to drop to my knees and eat you out right here and now?" He nipped playfully at the side of her neck, inhaling the scent of her hair and smiling. - "Do you really want to risk me burning myself because I'm super distracted by your month?" She teased him as she leaned back against him and continued what she's doing. She would not mind if it was like this every time she made them dinner. "I'm not about that 50 Shades life thank you very much" - "Well damn." He sighed playfully, grinding his now rock-hard bulge against her ass. "Shame, because I was gonna make you scream." - She pushed back against him in returned, acting like nothing was happening as she cooked, though she was smiling. She was a pro at mutlitasking. "I don't doubt that. You never have a problem doing that" - "Damn I love you." He laughed, before feeling his eyes widen. He hadn't meant to say that.... he hadn't even THOUGHT the words... they just slipped out. - That made her drop everything she was doing, turn off the heat to the pan that was on the stove and turn around to him with her own eyes wide. For once in her life, Tasha Metz was rendered speechless. - He blinked a few times, about to correct himself before realizing.... he really DID mean it. "Well fuck. I just went and ruined everything, didn't I." - It was cleary the wheels were turning by the look on her face as she took in what happened. When he spoke again, she shook her head to say that he hadn't and it took a moment longer to find her voice. "No cause I love you too" She told him, sounding as quiet and vunerable as ever. - "There's just.... nobody else compares, you know?" He asked, a palm moving to stroke her cheek. "You're my best friend. You always have been. But you're also the only woman I could ever love." - "Where is all is this coming from?" She asked, reaching up to put her hand over his. All seemed to come out of the blue all of the sudden and she was still in shock over the whole thing. They were in love? She never saw THAT coming. - "I wish I knew." He admitted, 100% honest with her as always. "I just know that when I was with Kassie... it was supposed to be a friends with benefits situation. And it felt NOTHING like how I feel when I'm with you. And I guess that was the moment I realized that I DO know what love feels like. It's what I feel when I'm with you." - Tasha always appreciated that they could be 100% honest with each other whether the truth was good or bad. Right now it was more good though she was still shook by it and that showed on her face as she listened to him. "You were thinking about me when you were with Kassie?" She asked, confusion in her voice. That was something that definately shouldn't happen when you're hooking up with someone. - "Tasha. Haven't you realized by now that I think of you no matter what I'm doing?" He laughed, looking a bit nervous there... he was never THIS honest about his emotions. "Just because I'm only admitting to myself NOW that I love you doesn't mean I haven't felt that way for years..." - "I really haven't dude. This is the first I'm hearing of it" She told him with a shake of her head as she leaned back against the counter behind her, their dinner forgotten about. She wasn't so hungry now that she was distracted by what he said. "Maybe I've felt that way years too and just didn't realize it. I mean you have been the only guy I've been with for a while now ... maybe there's a reason for that?" She told him, thinking out loud with a shrug. She didn't know and was trying to work this out for herself as he was. - "I just know I want you to be happy." He said, taking a deep breath. This was all weighing on him. The realization of just how in love with her he was... and the reality that she might not necessarily feel the same way. "If you don't feel that way about me, I'll understand. I will. At the end of the day you're still my best friend, and I'd die for you." - "I already said the words back you dork" She pointed out with a laugh, leaning into kiss him. Pulling away, she reached up and ran her hands through his hair. "I'm just trying to figure all my shit out now, ya know? I never thought about any of this before" - "I know you did, jackass." He smirked, as clearly their dynamic wasn't about to change regardless. "I just didn't want you to feel obligated, I guess." - "I don't do or say anything that I don't want to" She reminded him. She'd always considered herself to be her own person, never letting anyone else think or decide things for her. That very much applied in this case. "So what do we do now?" She wondered as she dropped her hands down to his shoulders. - "Well, we set a world record for moving in together.... what with managing to do it BEFORE we even started dating...." He teased, trying to lighten the mood a little. "I guess we just keep on being us, you know? Nothing has to change, other than admitting how we feel." - "I just wanted someone to help me pay the rent" Tasha replied, dead pan for a moment before a grin appeared on her face. She was all about lightening the mood because it was getting a little too heavy for her. "Open relationship? We both keep banging girls and talking our conquests after" She suggested, thinking that would probably work pretty well for them since that's pretty much what they already did. - He laughed there. How could he NOT? Only the two of them would still talk this way even when technically a couple. "Hey, if you wanna do that? I'd be a moron to turn it down. But as long as I have YOU, I'm happy." - "I do 'cause I wanna keep worshiping the female body so it's only fair that you get to do it too" She pointed out, leaning in to kiss him again. She didn't have an issue with it when they were only friends so she couldn't see that changing now that they were a thing because she knew was in his heart and he was in hers. It really wasn't a big deal. Pulling back, she couldn't wipe the smile off of her face even if she tried. "You've got me, Hal. You always have. I'm not going anywhere" - "I love you, T." He said, cupping her chin before leaning in to give her what was a true first for them: a kiss made of nothing but pure, unbreakable love. - "I love you too, H" She replied before their lips met in a kiss. She'd never experienced a kiss like this before. It was so loving and pure and sweet. It was one of those kisses that left her breathless as she pulled away, her forehead against his afterwards. For a moment she didn't open her eyes right away. - "Fuck.... you are seriously the sexiest woman I've ever met." He said, a little breathless himself, his hands going to her hips possessively. "Every inch of this body is perfection." - Opening her eyes, she pulled back to she could see his face and smiled as his hands went to her hips. "And every inch of this body is yours" She replied, inching closer to him so their lower halves touched as she placed her hands on his hips as well. "No other guy is gonna touch me now" She promised, giving his hips a squeeze. - "Goddamn right." He said, adorably growling a little as he said it. The thought of another man touching her made him see red. "You, um.... got any plans the next couple days? I was thinking maybe a 2-3 day celebration of us being a couple. Consisting of nothing but sex with occasional breaks for sleep, bathroom, and having food delivered." - "My God that was hot" Tasha replied, lifting a hand to fan herself when she heard him get growly. She wasn't even joking. She was so turned on by it. "Almost makes me want to get a tattoo just to prove it and remember this moment" She told him, lowing her hand to slip it under the shirt he was wearing. "I do, sadly. I'm a nanny remember? However, I can be yours the second I get home and you can keep me up late. I'll sleep when they sleep" - "Not as hot as you, baby." He told her, gazing deeply into her eyes. Friend, lovers, boyfriend/girlfriend... no matter what they were, he never saw her as anything other than the most amazing woman he'd ever known. "And I'm gonna hold you to that, too. When I fuck you later? It's gonna be INSANE." - She tried not to swoon when he called her baby. He had before but for some reason it sounded different now. She liked it. "Can't wait" She told him, leaning into kiss him again. She held the kiss for a moment then she pulled away and slipped his shirt off. She was shirtless so he should be too. "Now, do you want to help me cook so we can eat and get to fucking or are you just going to stand and watch me like a perv?" She asked with a grin as she turned back around to what was on the stove, turning it on again. - "Well, the food isn't exactly what I really wanna be eating right now, but sure. I'll help." He winked, giving her a playful little slap on the ass. It was strange... somehow, knowing they were in love had made his hunger for her even more intense, and he found himself ready to pop, and having to visibly FORCE himself to not grab her and manhandle her right there. - "We need energy to get us through the night" She pointed out, laughing when he slapped her ass. She gave him a little hip bump in return then she leaned over and kissed him again. As much as she wanted to just go have sex right at that moment, one of them had to be the responsible one and get food on the table and she didn't mind that it was her. She liked being responsible.
