Claire and Fab are at the entrance of the hostel, Fab was about to walk back to her room when Claire calls her attention
Claire’s POV
I haven’t spoken to Lawson the whole day and I can’t stop myself from thinking about Francesca, when she put her jacket on me I felt my heart stop for a minute, I didn’t want her to leave me:
“I……”
I stuttered a bit
“I mean, do you want to walk me to my room?, I don’t want to be alone”
“Alright”
Fab walked next to me through the hallway to my room and didn’t say a word, but I could feel her presence and as we walk, our hand rub occasionally against each other
“We are here” Francesca said
“Yes, thank you for walking with me”
“Anything else you need me to do?
I looked at her for a few seconds in silence after she said that, I want her to come into the room and stay with me for a little, but I hesitated to say it.
“I guess not, then I can go back to my room”
“Stay” I said as she was about to leave
“ I didn’t hear that”
“I want you to stay”
“Why” she asked
“I want you around me, I don’t think I need you to give me any space”
“Are you sure about that ?”
“Not really” I murmured
She looked at me and smile then stretched her hand to open the door for me, we both got into the and I went to the bathroom, took off my clothes and wore a robe and went back into the room with an extra one for Francesca.
“Here you go” I said stretching the hand with the robe towards her.
“Your clothes are wet, I need you to take them off so I can dry them for you.
Francesca looked a bit hesitant, but I assured her she could change in the bathroom and it wouldn’t make much sense if she sat down with wet clothes and caught a cold.
“Okay”
She took the robe, went into the bathroom and in few than 2 minutes she was out wearing the robe
“I put my clothes in the basket where I saw yours, and this robe is the softest thing I have ever worn, it feels so comfortable”
“I’m glad you feel comfortable”
I went into the bathroom got the basket and put the clothes in the dryer before going back into the room to meet Francesca sitting on Fab’s bed, I walked to mine and sat down
“Do you want to talk about our kiss?”
“If you want to” she answered
“How did it make you feel?”
“I felt a little stupid, because I wasn’t supposed to be kissing anyone right now, especially someone with a boyfriend but I can’t stop thinking about the kiss.
“I’m sorry I put you in such a bad situation”
“Oh you didn’t put me anywhere I didn’t want to be” Francesca turned and smiled at me
“You were vulnerable and I got carried away and now someone is going to get hurt”
“What do you want to say to Lawson?”
“That I kissed a girl, and when he says how…., because I bet he will be confused and that’s prolly the first thing he would say, I’ll say I asked her to kiss me and she did, so the truth.”
“How do you think that would make him feel?”
“Sad, and I’ll feel guilty and hate myself even more than I do right now because I still want to kiss you, I still thinking about that kiss, a lot that I hate myself for wanting it so much”
“I guess we both hate ourselves then. I promise the minute you want space and you tell me, I will give you some space, I like you a lot Claire, even though I hate myself for it but I don’t want to ruin what you have going with your boyfriend, only you know how you feel and I’m not perfect, I’ve done so many things I’m not proud of but I want to be a better person.”
“No one is perfect, but I hope there are people less selfish than I am”
We both went silent for a moment then I asked Francesca to come sit next to me, I felt like she was too far and honestly I wanted her close to me.
She stood up and walked up to my bed and sat next to me, then we had another awkward silence, with both of us facing forward, before Francesca notice I was still shivering.
“I think you should lay down and cover yourself properly, you’re still shivering, you might catch a cold”
“Would you lay next to me and keep me warm then” I said without even thinking about anything else
“If you want”
She stood up and I entered into the bed properly, she covered me with my duvet and joined in. We were so close to each other, her hand touched mine and we held hands for a few minutes before I turned my head over to face her and admired how gorgeous her side profile looked and how long her lashes were before asking for another kiss.
“I want you to kiss me again”
Francesca turn her to look at me, put her hand through my hair before grabbing my face and kissed me, this wasn’t our first kiss but it felt new and it made me even hungrier to keep kissing her, she broke the kiss up after some minutes and asked if she could touch my body
“I could stop whenever you want me to, just say it”
“Alright, you can touch my body” I responded
She continued the kiss and took her hand from my face down to my neck then I felt it go into my robe to my breast, she rubbed my n****e in a circular motion for awhile before grabbing it and then switched to the other one.
