After so much confusion and disagreement Lenore decided to invite Annabel for a private conversation, a long and detailed conversation, she needed to find out more about them, about what happened and why she couldn't stop thinking about her, at that moment nothing made sense, she needed things to be clarified, direct information, without games or riddles, so they arranged to meet when everyone was asleep, at midnight, in her friends' hiding place, yes Lenore told her about it, after all there was no better place to have privacy and Annabel showed that she had no bad intentions, at least not towards her, so Lenore would go alone.
After lying awake for a while waiting for the agreed time to arrive, the girl got up and checked if Morella was sleeping, luckily she was, Lenore sighed in relief and picked up her coat, putting on her shoes as she walked to the door, careful not to make too much noise, no. we wanted to wake up the little redhead, that would be a big problem. The girl opened the door carefully and put her head out, checking if there was no one there, after making sure she put her body out and closed it carefully, the chances of being caught were low, but not non-existent, so it was Better to stay calm and cautious until you get there.
As soon as Lenore arrived at the hideout, her anxiety struck, she was sitting in an armchair while her mind was filled with questions, would Annabel really come? What to ask? Was it too soon? Has Morella woken up? What clothes was Annabel wearing? His thoughts were put aside when he heard someone opening the door, his eyes quickly looked at the place and wow, it was Annabel, she was wearing a white overcoat, made up of ruffles made of expensive material, the satin of the garment was so good that it was possible to notice by far the incredible quality of the fabric. That simple but expensive piece covered the baby blue nightgown the girl wore to sleep. Her hair was loose, her defined blonde curls highlighted her face, that vision should be painted and the painting placed in a renowned museum, Annabel was a rare beauty. Lenore's mind went blank for a while, the blonde entered and closed the door, she began to walk towards the tallest woman, holding the ends of her satin clothes to avoid leaving any trace, as soon as she sat down she could see the look on the tallest woman's face. old woman standing over her, a smug and embarrassed smile hung on her face, she was blushing.
— Hello pet
The older woman shook her head a little and swallowed hard trying to get out of the trance, she put her hand over her mouth and coughed dryly trying to hide it, finally she adjusted her posture and looked directly at the girl.
— Hello Annabel
— So what was so important for you to make me come here at this time?
— I want you to tell me some things
— Well, tell me what you want to know.
— Did we die together? Do we have some kind of connection? Why you act like you don't know me? Were we close?
— Take it easy, pet, I can't answer all these questions, but we do have a special bond, it upsets me in a way that you didn't realize that, it's another story about us, this is a strategy to avoid suspicion.
- Strategy? Games again Annabel!? If we really have this connection we should come together, after all we were close friends, right?
The girl took a deep breath and hugged herself as she looked to the side, as if she was finding the strength to continue the conversation, she could pretend very well, but whenever she was alone with Lenore she felt like she could open up.
— Pet, that's exactly why I can't tell you about it, it's better to find out for yourself, about us coming together, this will happen when the threats are neutralized, do you have any other questions? If that's all I'd better leave, maybe Ada will return to her room if Monstresor kicks her out.
— Annabel, why did you stay away? Were we really close friends or am I just another piece in your chess game?
Lenore was irritated in a way, why couldn't she respond, what happened between them that made her refuse to talk, an argument? Betrayal? What happened, that's what she needed to know to continue.
— Yes, we were good friends and you're not just another pawn, now I'm going.
The girl said that normally, as she got up to leave, held the ends of her clothes and walked to the door.
Lenore didn't believe her, Annabel was running away, which irritated Lenore even more, the youngest was so reluctant about it that it became impossible to swallow her words, the blue-eyed woman couldn't just accept this without getting any response. , just more questions.
Lenore quickly got up and went to Annabel, she grabbed her right arm, preventing her from leaving.
— Annabel, I'm not going to accept this, do you think I'm going to just swallow everything I said? Why don't you tell me the truth?
Lenore was willing to do anything to get answers and no matter how much Annabel tried to run away, Lenore wouldn't let her go without getting answers.
— Pet, I already told the truth, it's up to you to believe it or not, now let me go, please
— Annabel I'm serious, you're lying to me, what were we!?
The older one couldn't handle it, the same empty and meaningless answers, she was clearly lying, but why? Lenore pulled Annabel by the arm, bringing her closer, holding both of her arms and looking at her.
—Annabel just tell me, what were we!?
— Pet, you better find out on your own
The atmosphere became tense, Lenore was starting to lose her patience and Annabel was losing her calm, both were close to their limit, the situation was uncomfortable, neither of them wanted to give in. The older girl tightened her grip on the smaller girl's arms.
— Annabel, what did we have!? What were we!? Tell me! Are you fooling me again? Am I just a pawn to you?
Annabel was about to explode, she hated it when Lenore said she was just an insignificant piece, she was doubting her word, with a certain reason, but doubting all that was frustrating, after all Lenore is the only person she really opened up to, but , she was also the only one who doubted her loyalty, that was unbearable, the key to Annabel's anger. Why couldn't she just trust her? Remember everything and go back to being her Lenore? The girl found herself in such a painful situation that she could not bear having her loved one doubt herself.
— What were we Lenore!? Is that what you want to know? Well done!
In an immediate action Annabel stood on tiptoe and raised her face, getting close enough to kiss Lenore, their lips met quickly, all the tension present in the place turned into heat... Lenore was so surprised by the situation that she couldn't even close her eyes, her heartbeat was racing and her body was hot, Annabel was so close and it all felt strangely good, it felt like an eternity, her brain was in shock, this is so good, but it was a quick kiss, Annabel looked at she with tears in her eyes and an angry expression
—...
The girl was in shock, Annabel had kissed her and then started crying, what did that mean, she didn't know what to do, she just wrapped her arms around the shorter girl and pulled her into a hug, the taller girl supported her chin over the girl's head, feeling her face blush, they had kissed, that meant they had a romance, Lenore's heart was racing, she didn't know exactly what to do, but she knew she had some guilt about it and listening Annabel crying was a punishment.
— Annabel, I'm sorry, I didn't want to upset you, I'm sorry I don't remember.
Annabel snuggled into the older woman's body, no matter what happened, whenever she hugged Lenore her frustrations disappeared, it was like divine medicine, the older girl was truly extraordinary. The blonde hugged her tighter and closed her eyes enjoying the moment.
— Please never doubt me again Pet, it hurts so much to realize that you don't trust me
— Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry.
She smiled, she was feeling the reactions of Lenore's body, her accelerated heartbeat, trembling hands and broken voice, she was happy to have finally stolen a kiss after so long, that was her desire to have her memories come back, now they finally they could be together in stolen moments like before, Annabel was so excited that she had forgotten her coat, luckily Lenore was holding it
— Annabel I have more questions
— You can make them pets
— We were lovers right? So... I'm sorry to ask this, but how far have we gone?
- Until where? What do you mean, can you let me go for a minute? I better take off my overcoat
The girl with blue eyes shyly releases her and watches her from afar, the youngest sighs and walks slowly to the circular table in the middle of the room, she takes off her coat and places it on her. Lenore swallowed hard and turned away, covering her mouth with her hand and instantly blushing.
— Let's say we were going to get married
— Ah so, we didn't go beyond kissing, right?
The blonde walks up to the taller one and hugs her from behind
— Oh Pet, on the contrary, you made me a special request before the wedding...
—And what request was that?
— You asked me to see myself in pajamas, without a coat
- That is great!
Lenore sighed in relief, although that request was somewhat intimate, Annabel like that already left her feeling out of place, imagine in a closed room
- Great! So you like the idea?
— N-it's not that, I'm just glad we didn't go much further before the wedding, I actually don't remember how it works
— Are you talking about the honeymoon? Oh it works great, you're great at it
— In this what?
— Would you like to find out?
Lenore felt a shiver down her spine after hearing that, Annabel was really asking that, it couldn't be, but how does it work? He didn't remember that, would it be better to find out? No, but with Annabel, oh with Annabel, the bigger one panicked, which only went crazy when she realized that the smaller one was hugging her tighter, their bodies were so close that she could feel Annabel's breasts pressing your back
— So Pet, what do you say?
- Well I...
Before she could say anything, someone knocked on the living room door, Annabel quickly let go of Lenore and hid behind the armchair.
— Lenore, are you there?
It was Morella, the girl seemed a little worried, so after ensuring that Annabel was hidden she responded
— Yes, I couldn't sleep, sorry
— Phew, you got me worried, I thought something had happened, well even if you can't sleep it's better to go back to your room, we can create stories since you can't sleep
— Hahaha, truth is a good idea
— Then let's go before the Deans catch us
- We are going yes
Lenore walked to the door with Morella and looked back, seeing Annabel leave the armchair, she looked at her and smiled, she wished she had stayed longer and maybe...
Annabel returned to her room shortly afterwards, both of them wondering what could have happened.
