Re: Alyssa | Damien
Alyssa nodded, thoughts tugging at her mind. "Then you need a touch of patience with me. But I promise to keep pushing myself to be honest and vulnerable." The with you seemed implied in this instance.
There were few things Alyssa wasn't game for, but fucking in a crowd which included her sister certainly made the list. Especially not tonight when she knew how badly Bex and Claudia needed this to go, to prove they were as fit to run the museum as bloody Irina. And, Alyssa knew without a doubt, the two would shore up funding for the year. One thing they had that Irina lacked? A personality that didn't make Damien seem like an easy going puppy.
She sure didn't expect anything approaching a declaration of love from Damien, especially not now. Alyssa knew he cared and that honestly seemed win enough to her.
"You. Only you. Of course I pick you. Nobody else has touched me since you arrived." She shrugged. "I had a friend with benefits, but he and I can easily drop the with benefits part." Obviously they'd still hang out, it would just be fully clothed.
"I'm sobre about 95% of the time." E usually happened a few times a month if that, it honestly depended more on how often she saw Kenny. Alyssa remembered the other thing she wanted to mention. "And, if you do decide to surprise me with flowers again, only roses please. They're the only flowers that won't lecture me about being arranged into a bouquet." The romantic gesture became far less romantic if flowers decided to yell at Alyssa and cause a headache.
