It's All Alright.

"God, I’m embarrassed." Another laugh left her lips as she covers her face with both hands, metallic nail polish in place of her eyes and nose. She gently lowers her hands after a moment of him speaking aloud, her mouth upturning at one corner. "You sound so surprised." She was praying she hadn’t said something wrong, or maybe turned him off from the idea all together. She didn’t expect his next action, breathe catching in her throat as he kissed her, sending her into a whirlwind of emotions as the heat from his kiss lingered on her tongue. "We’ve gone full twilight." She knew he wouldn’t understand the reference, but in that moment she didn’t care, completely taken by him as each others breath hits opposite lips. "My only." She repeats, her eyes not meeting his, but settling on his lips. A shaking hand reaches for his cheek, bringing him to her with a gentle pull until she could reach his lips; returning the same heated kiss he had given her.

Xavier wet his lips and gave the hand between them a quick, but calculating glance. "     Xavier Clarke." Making like he was going to grab it, he swiftly pulled back and turned the motion into a mock salute. "And please, don't thank me yet." he smirked, adding a presumptuous wink before he turned and started towards the direction where the girl had stormed off to.

                      “ You must be awful at parties - you really deaden the mood. ”

                                              "Oh, haha. That's clever, very clever."

The real question, now that Andrea was in her right mind, was what he was doing here and how he'd gotten in. The people at the historical society had said that teenagers often broke in to show off their bravery to friends...

She allows what he says to sink in, trying to hold back the words threatening to leave her lips as they were originally for her knowledge only. “I always thought about you being my first, you know.” Adelaide allows the silence to swallow her. She was bashful to admit such a thing, it just sat in her chest like a rock holding her to the bed spring. “I kind of joked about it to myself knowing it was impossible. And I mean what would happen if you were — really?” She moves her body up so she can look down at him, hair falling over one shoulder as she hovers. “I’d become clingy and jealous even though I’m well aware it’s borderline impossible to become jealous given our situation. I’d probably be sad knowing I couldn’t touch you again and every inch of me would long for you to be mine for eternity —— not to mention I’d turn into a sap.” She closes her eyes a beat, opening them slowly to make sure he’s still there. “I don’t want you to think I’m hinting at anything, I wouldn’t want to push you into something you don’t want to do.. alive or not.”

"Oh." It was all he could manage to get out. Xav chewed his lip again, struck practically speechless by her confession. His body surged with heat, he could feel the warmth radiating off his face. Pressing a hand through his hair, a small smile spread on his face and a soft laugh pushed past his lips. It wasn't an act of mockery; he would never think of teasing her about something like this. -He was overwhelmed and the more she spoke, the warmer he felt and more soft chuckles escaped him. By the time she'd hovered over him, Xav's hand had slipped to his face and his cheeks were a warm pink. Never. Not in a million years did he think he'd hear anything like that. Not even when he was alive. Perhaps it was due to poor self esteem, but the fact that someone wanted their first time to be with him had Xav both confused and very touched. And jealous? Over him? "..      I. Wow." he whispered. Propping himself up, Xavier kissed her again. It was different than the other kisses he'd given her that night, this one being so much more heated. After he broke it, Xav wet his bottom lip and locked his gaze on hers. "We've well surpassed sappy, Adelaide. We've reached fully blown 'forbidden romance' novel." His voice was breathy as he spoke and his eyes never left her. "It wouldn't be a push." he said, but quickly added on. "-I want you to be my first. Most likely my only." Xavier smiled, "Yours forever."
