Chapter 9 - Falling

This pretty much became the new norm over the next three weeks. Isabelle became the fourth in our merry band of misfits. She would always join me on weekends and nights we had gigs. Tink and I spent as much time together as we could eek out. Mostly either at Ray's or Belle's tiny little flat in Soho, which was over a little Vietnamese market.

I felt silly being an adult living with my mother so I never had her over at my place much. Mum surprised me, she simply adored Isabelle, who was frightened of her and spoke in tiny sentences, “Yes ma'am,” and “No Ma'am.” I thought it was cute since she pretty much owned the room any other time.

The sexual tension between Belle and I had progressed at an exponential rate, but she never went past steamy makeout sessions with me and a little over the sweater action. After the night of Karaoke with Amy and Jake, I was so frustrated at the suggestive dancing Belle had done with me, that I had to take care of myself a couple times in bed that night as I fantasized about the minx. I had to bite my pillow to stop from making noises that would wake up my mum. I swear Isabelle did it on purpose, I was almost at a breaking point.

I was starting to wonder if she felt the same way about me as I felt about her. One night as we were cuddling in her futon while we watched Ghost in the Shell from her huge collection of anime shows. I gathered the courage to ask as I played with her fingers, kissing each knuckle on the tattoos there. In cartoon hearts, one set of knuckles spelled out 'love', and on her left hand 'life'.

I took a breath and asked, “Are you... attracted to me?” I tried to clarify. “In a more than cuddling and kissing way?” She tilted her head and her brow furrowed in question. I quickly added while I had any courage left. “I mean, I've been... umm... wanting more. Of you... I mean I've never shared so much of my life with anyone before. I could talk with you forever and never get tired of it. I've shared all my secrets and dreams and love everything I can learn about you.”

She opened her mouth, but I kept going, “I've hoped you felt the same, but you never go beyond the steamy snogging sessions that leave me sexually frustrated every night.” Then I voiced my fear, “Is it... my eyes?”

Her head snapped up at that and she looked almost angry, then her face softened and a beaming smile slowly spread on her face as she whispered almost hoarsely, “Oh thank the Lord. I've been about to burst since I met you. I didn't want to take things too fast and scare you off Abigail.”

I blinked trying to process what she was saying. She blushed and wiggled her eyebrows. “I've had some interesting nights on this very futon with you on my mind.
