Title: Something in Common: Love, Part 2
Rating: PG-13
Length: 340 words
Competitor: Buri
Round/Fight: 2/D
Summary: Buri comes home.
When I woke it was still night, and Buri was sitting on the bench in front of the window.
I slid out of bed, dragging one of the blankets with me. The weather was cool, and our nightshirts left our legs mostly bare. “Hey.” I settled in beside Buri, hoping she would lean against my shoulder. The blanket was big enough for both of us.
“Hey.” She just kept looking out the window.
“What happened earlier? Are you all right?”
She waited a while before she answered me. “You should have been the one to marry him, Kel. You'd've made a much better noble lady.”
“Buri, no! Don't say that.”
“I should have been the mistress and you should have been the wife.”
Her words made my blood run cold. “Don't say that.” I gripped her shoulders. “You know it's not like that. I am not your husband's mistress.” I was furious with her, for a minute, but just to prove my point, I kissed her.
I thought she might resist me, but instead she kissed back, hot and fierce, pushing forward until I fell back onto the bench. She caught me, hand behind my head, just before my skull would have hit the hard wood surface. Her mouth never once left mine.
When we stopped at last, my nightshirt was undone and hers was off completely, and the blanket was sliding to the floor. “We're partners, all three of us,” I said. “Don't be stupid.”
“You're right.” She flashed me a grin. “The bed's right there. It's stupid that we're on this bench.”
“We were talking. Or are we done now?”
Our eyes met, and held, and I saw we understood each other again. “We're done,” Buri said. “Let's go to bed.”
“Good.” Raoul's voice came out of the dark room. He was laying on his side, watching us, and I had no idea how long he'd been awake. “I'm starting to get lonesome over here.”
