((Don't mind us. ^.^))

Jolene could feel that she was laying on something. As she moved her cheek slightly, she realized it was a someone. Her head, cheek, was resting on that person's bare chest. And, as she opened her eyes, she recognized the flat stomach. It sounded weird, but there was a scar just under that belly button, and she could remember giving it to Eljas a few years before when she'd gotten mad at him. Her hand slowly went up to touch that spot. It was definitely Eljas's stomach. Which could only mean that somehow they'd passed out together.

There was a blanket over them, over his waist and her back. She was a bit cold and found herself snuggling closer, only to realize she was naked. As her leg brushed over Eljas's she realized that he was too, and it gave her pause. Suddenly, as she laid there against her best friend, she remembered bits and pieces of all that had happened and found herself smiling, snuggling even closer and pressing her cheek to his chest again.

There was a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach that she'd never felt before. But, she liked it. It was pleasant, and exciting, and she knew that it came from laying there with her best friend. She sighed softly and hugged him to her.

It was Jolene's movement that brought Eljas out of his sleep. Wincing slightly as he returned back to the world of consciousness, he first became very well aware of the pain that was pounding steadily on his brain. The next thing he noticed was someone laying against him. His arm, that was wrapped loosely around the girl's shoulder, tightened a little as he tried to remember what in the world had given him the headache. Oh right... alcohol. He lifted his free hand to his forehead as if in hopes that it might chase the pain away but of course it didn't do anything of the sort and he was left with the option of trying to piece together some more pieces of the puzzle meanwhile.

His eyes opening, he tried to blink away the haze as best as he could while glancing around to the head that was resting on his chest. He knew that hair all too well by this point and smiled slightly as he realized that they had somehow managed to pass out together. It took him several more minutes, however, to remember just what had happened. Laying his head back down on something soft, Eljas glanced up to the ceiling briefly. "Jo?" he tried softly to see if she was awake or not. He didn't want to tear her out of her sleep, knowing that she could be a bit snappy when woken up before her time.

Meanwhile he wondered just how long they had spent up in the attic. The party must have been broken up hours ago. He didn't even have a clock or a watch to really check the time and mused silently over the fact that no one had stumbled upon them yet. Of course, how many people would think to check the attic of a large house when on a search for two drunk teenagers?

Jolene could feel Eljas's arm tighten around her and she closed her eyes to savor it the moment before he actually woke up and realized what had happened. She felt a bit like a fraud, hiding behind her hair so that he would hold her just a bit longer. She just didn't want to snap out of the little glow she had going on. She knew that when she did have to snap out of it, she would have to actually think of the ramifications of what they had done. The longer delayed the better.

All too soon she heard him say her name, and scrunched her nose. "Shhh." She said, still looking down his body at the wall on the side of their feet. "Don't ruin the calm before the storm." She said. Her head hurt slightly, but she was guessing that she was still slightly drunk. Not bad anymore, but still had some alcohol coursing through her veins.

With a sigh, Jolene turned back to Eljas. "You ruined it." She accused, before flashing him a quick smile. "I suppose we should talk about this now?" With anyone else it could just be sex, but with Eljas, it was different. She couldn't just let it be. She remembered really enjoying the kiss, experiencing something new with it. And she wasn't sure she wanted to just let that go.

Eljas glanced down to her as he heard her respond, a bit surprised that she was awake. Neither of them had any problems with the kiss or what had followed while the alcohol was there, but would they still feel the same way now? He was certainly confused but at the same time content in a strange way that he couldn't quite explain. He remained silent until Jolene spoke again, his own expression turning into a bit of a smirk as she accused him or ruining the calm. "I did no such thing," he replied to her in defense like a little kid before her next words faded away the small chuckle that had started.

"I suppose we should," he replied to her softly, running his thumb over her shoulder as he watched her from his position. "Do you have regrets?" he asked her, a bit hesitantly at that. He was afraid of her realizing that they had made a big mistake and breaking off their friendship to keep her distance. Though the more he thought about it the more he came to realize that if she rejected him now, no friendship would work out better, for it would be hard for him to be around her so much and think that nothing more would ever come of them. He had already began to admit that he had feelings for her, ones that he truly had thought didn't exist until she had gone and kissed him. Now he simply couldn't ignore them.

Jolene brought her body just a bit closer to his when she felt his thumb moving over her shoulder. It sent slight electric charges from that spot all the way through her body, and she even shuddered slightly. She brushed her cheek over his chest slightly as he spoke. "None." She said honestly, looking seriously back up at him. It was a very quick response, but it was the truth. She knew that from there it was up to him what happened. But, she hoped that he wouldn't turn her away. She didn't know what she'd do if he did.

While once she thought that she only cared for him as a best friend, she was quickly coming to realize differently. He would always be her best friend, but the little crush that she'd thought had lasted maybe a week when they were little had turned into something more, without her realizing it. He had always been her Eljas. But she wanted him to be her Eljas. There was no two ways around it.

"What about you?" She asked him, biting her lower lip slightly as she waited for his response. It was make or break. She hoped that their friendship didn't break apart in the next few minutes.

OOC: Ok sorry guys for posting here but I cant double post in the OOC so it will have to be done here.

I am going to be dropping out of this. Seems like it has become very singled off and the times are just confusing me now. There is no way for the slower posters who are waiting for replies to catch up a whole night when people are still going. There is going to be like two different if not three different timings in the house which is just not going to work.

Also it gets a little tiring waiting for replies all the time or people not including others and just sticking together in locked rooms. Makes it very limited. I really am sorry to be doing this and wish you all the very best.
