Who: Clair and River Where: Rec room When: Night time What: Clair does something naughty for the wrong reasons.
Ten minutes. If Clair had longer then that to think she would have thought about how random all of this was. But random aside, it would have been a total lie to say that she didn't know why she had suddenly started to come on to River in that way. She knew and it wasn't just about hormones and cock shaped cookies. It was about feeling left out. All her friends seem to get some sort of action and she had only kissed and cuddled and...It was a feeling that she had not been able to shake since having that sleepover at Kiku and Baja's after Christmas.
So yeah it was a damn pathetic reason. But it was Clair's reason and it wasn't damn pathetic to her which made all the difference. And so here she was, making her way down to the rec room, wearing one of her Victoria's Secret boyfriend pajamas. The rec room and the hallways seemed to be empty and for that Clair was greatful. She remained standing as she entered and tried to squash all the nervous energy down.
Screw being cautious. She was always the cautious one as compared to Justin. Justin who had no notion of personal space bounderies. Justin who had pratically given their address to a homeless person because he wanted their doorman to give the guy a hotdog whenever he got hungry. Why should she be cautious? Why shouldn't she want to give her boyfriend a handjob? She liked River. She wanted to be close to him and she wanted to do this with him. That was the other reason why she was here and why she had started things in the journals.
She could acknowledge the reasons. Too bad Clair didn't realize that the other reason should be the only reason. And that by having too many reasons it usually meant that you weren't ready.
