#kamile|interaction.

“what happened to you? where have you been?”

it’s been a conversation that she’s tried to put off for a long time but as it stood kamile couldn’t wait anymore. it didn’t feel fair to wait anymore  —  not on her and definitely not on julianna. still, that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to put it off until the last possible second. she’d waited a while, let them both have dinner and come down from work before she finally decided to broach the subject that had been consuming her thoughts for weeks... possibly even months, now. “jules, babe?” when her eyes turned to the other end of the couch she couldn’t help but feel guilty and that was perhaps because part of her had every reason to feel that way; she was about to throw a spanner into their otherwise completely perfect relationship. “i’ve been thinking about something... for a while now, actually. i thought it was probably time to talk about it.” she paused for about half a second, having to get it out there before she bit her tongue again. “how would you feel about opening things up a little? between us?” 

“do you think that i’m stupid?” the question was asked seemingly out of nowhere after the kind of night they’d had. they’d had a pretty wonderful evening together: a nice dinner, drinks and now a walk beneath the stars. kamile had only been biding her time, though. she wanted them relaxed in the event that she might be able to catch them off guard. “well?” her eyebrows raised as her hand slipped out of their’s. “do you?”

“did you see what they’re saying about me today?” there was a deep-set frown on kamile’s lips as she moved between sipping at her coffee and scrolling through her phone. “we’ve been married for weeks now! i thought this would’ve died down.” 

“you know you can hold my hand, right?” typically public displays of affection would make kamile squirm however she had been the one to suggest this arrangement. actually making it seem like something believable would work more in their favour than not. after outstretching her hand, she gave a little wiggle of her fingers for good measure. “you can try and look into me.” 

“the neighbours invited us over for dinner.” kamile didn’t even try to sound very impressed by the idea, the expression on her face said that she found the idea repulsive. they were not the kind of people that she’d be hanging around if she was able to live her normal life right now. “i can’t decide if the authorities would be encouraging us to get to know the people around us or if they wouldn’t want us getting too close. what do you think?”
