James and Maria were kissing for a while in the kitchen until she led him into her bedroom after being walked in on by Dani. They sat on the bed for a while, listening to the sounds of everyone out in the living room, Maria leaned back against her hands, staring up at the ceiling that swirled slightly from the alcohol in her body. James glanced over at her, watching her quietly for a moment before speaking softly, “I’m sorry for yelling at you."
Maria turned her head to him and nodded a little, sitting back up, “it’s okay…”
The silence fell between them for the while being, he had reached for her hand, his fingers playing across hers in the quiet. They leaned towards each other, James' lips brushing over Maria’s, shivers going down their spines, it had been a while that they were together like his. Lips parted, kissing each other deeply, maybe it was the night or maybe it was the alcohol that let out the cold feeling and numbed the anger that had slipped between them as of late. Maria moved to straddle his lap while kissing him, he didn’t stop her. His hand going under her shirt, feeling the warmth of her skin, the passion was arousing to both of them. The night continued the clothes were stripped off and fell on the floor, lips brushing warm skin and soft whispers towards each other. The door locked, no one knew that they were there, the world outside those four walls didn’t exist. The rain coming down against the window glass, the gentle touches, it was just them. It was the wrong moment to do this, there was so much drama going on, too many things that needed to be worked out and too many drinks between them, but they were trying to forget it all, if only for the night.
The morning arose, shedding it’s light in Maria’s room, James hugged Maria’s body against him. Protectively, lovingly, under the covers were these two naked bodies. Maria’s eyes fluttered open while feeling the morning sun hit over her eyes, squinting against the harsh light that started a dull throbe in the back of her head. She turned seeing James there, his arms wrapped around her, she brushed his hair back a little and smiled. Kissing his lips softly, he stirred and awoke a little. His eyes still closed he smiled softly to her, “Hey.” He said with a soft chuckle. Maria smiled softly, speaking in a soft whisper back. “Hey.”
She snuggled against him for the while, James kissed her jaw line Maria shifted trying to get out of bed, she slipped out and James rested his arm over the spot of the bed she left, still warm with her body heat. “Where are you going?” he said in a pouting manner, resting his face against the pillow.
She slipped on a hoodie over her naked upper body and some boxers. “I’ll be back, I need to check that they didn’t destroy my house while we were here.” She laughed a little and got out of the room, stopping for a second in front of her brother's open door and laughing softly seeing Mel, Dani and Tea asleep on the bed and poor Gabe passed out on the floor. She walked into the living room and sighed with relief seeing that Danielle and Gabe had put the beer cans and trash in bags, so there wasn’t much cleaning to do after all. She walked over to the couch, Pablo asleep beside Chloe, his arm draped over the girl. They had fallen asleep with the television on and it now was playing sunday morning cartoons which were never quite as good as their saturday counterparts. Maria placed a blanket over them and walked back to her room. Dropping on the bed besides James, she rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, wondering if she should go back to sleep or not.
Meanwhile Chloe snuggled closely to Pablo, asleep. Pablo opened his eyes as his sister left, half opened they looked down seeing Chloe asleep beside him and he made sure she had enough blanket and closed his eyes again. His toque was still over her head, half on and half off from moving in the night. He didn't dare to move not wanting to disturb her sleep, he could smell the fragrance of her shampoo, that was now over his body and smiled sheepishly.
