"I'm sorry about your friend." She didn't respond at this, in fact, it was the last thing she wanted to talk about. It had been some time since the event happened, but it was still so fresh in her mind. "What happened between you and Peter?" He moved onto her other wrist then, and she didn't speak at first. Her mind wandered back to how everything had happened, how he'd come on to her and held her against the wall. How cruel he had been to her. Biting her lip, she watched him dab the mixture onto her wrist.

"I'd just stay away from him. He's nothing but an asshole. You don't deserve to be treated that way. I don't care if you think it was an accident or not." It was then that Althea looked up at him, still biting her wrist. His words struck home, and she couldn't help but to smile at him. "You're my best friend, Thae. And I can't watch you being treated so. Next time, I can't promise that I won't beat the shit out of him" Her first thought was on his last comment. Next time She hoped there never was a 'next time'. She hoped that even if she did encounter Peter again, that it would be on the terms they had before they had even started dating.

She watched his face, knowing that he was being serious. All of a sudden, she noticed his eyes weren't on her anymore. They were on the hickey, and it was like her body knew before she did. The hickey felt like it was burning on her skin. When he moved her hair, she remained still. He was silent as he examined it. However, as he touched his fingers to the mark, Althea's body jolted in response. Except she didn't move away. She let him continue, wondering what exactly he was up to. As he gently pulled her closer to him, she didn't fight what he was up to. Instead, she rather enjoyed that he was pulling her closer.

When he lowered his head, she stiffened a little before she felt his lips touch her skin. At that very moment, every unusual feeling that had been surging through her body seemed to disappear. She tilted her head just a little, giving him more room to work with. Her eyes fell closed and her hands found their way into his hair. As he trailed up her neck, Althea thought she was going to melt right then and there. When he moved along her jaw, Althea's grip in his hair tightened tugging just a little.

He moved back to the mark that Peter had left on her and started to gently kiss the area. She let out a small breath at the feeling, her back arching so that her body moved towards him. As he began sucking, she drew in a small breath and bit her lip, her hands slid from his hair and fell to his shoulders as her body responded to the feeling. After a few moments of the intoxicating feelings coursing through her body and setting her nerves on fire, Darrin moved to rest his forehead against hers.

Her eyes remained closed, and she let them stay like that for some time. After a few moments, she brushed her forehead forward causing their noses to touch. Her entire body was on fire, exploding all the way down to the smallest nerves. This was the first time that something like this was happening and they were both sober. It was actually real. Her hands slid down his chest, and she held her breath for a moment. So badly, she wanted to kiss him. But a part of her felt like it was never going to work, everything was going to fall apart. Their friendship balanced on this moment that they shared. Holding her eyes shut a little tightly, Althea found herself stuck with an extremely hard decision.

She wasn't sure what was the best option. She knew what her mind and her body wanted to do. She knew that feeling all too well. Except she didn't know how he felt. She just knew that he was making her feel better. What if the hickey he gave her over Peter's was to forget Peter's mark on her? What if it was just his way of consoling her and he saw her as nothing more than friends? On a whim, Althea's hand found his cheek and she tilted her face towards him so that their lips were closer and their foreheads were no longer touching.

"Darrin," She whispered, her thumb gently stroking his cheek. Her other hand slid from his shoulder down his arm and into his hand. She let the tips of her fingers trace along the inside of his palm. She wanted to kiss him so badly, but she wanted it to be mutual. She wanted to make damn sure they were on the same page.
