Narrator's pov

"You don't seem fine"
"And you would know?" Ember questioned, bending over to fix her socks
"Ember-" the blonde whispered, adjusting the sheets over her chest so that she could stand up
"What" she hissed, bringing herself back up
Only to be met with Gabrielle standing in front of her with nothing on except a thin white fabric wrapped around her body loosely. The girl's ab lines were visible through the fabric, including the curve of her breasts
Ember closed her eyes and took a deep breath in to control any feelings inside that wanted to rise
Begone horny wench
"We need to talk" she whispered
"About what" Ember mumbled, adjusting her blazer on her shoulder
"Everything... Lastnigh-"
"Lastnight didn't mean shit" The brunette hissed
Only to regret her words when she saw the blonde's face fall immediately
"O-oh" Gabrielle whispered
Her head immediately hung low to avoid the eyes of the girl, a squeeze around Gabrielle's heart soon followed with a stinging sensation in her chest, it would explain why Ember was avoiding her so much today, because she didn't care for her anymore
Which was far from the truth
Ember felt the guilt inside, maybe she was going over the limit now. But she was still hurting, a mixed feeling that only she herself could feel but couldn't explain. The least she could do was listen, something she's been doing all along
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that" she mumbled
"It's okay if you did, I should hav-"
"You said you wanted to talk, right?" Ember cut the girl off
"Yes-"
"Then lets talk" The brunette said, sleeping into her shoes
"Rig- right now?" Gabrielle furrowed her brows
"Yep" the girl fake smiled, heading towards the room door
The singer furrowed her brows even deeper, confused as to why Ember was walking away despite her asking to talk. The brunette's fingers wrapped around the doorknob before turning to face the blonde
"Well?" she asked
"Well what?" Gabrielle questioned
"You've got five minutes. Are you coming or not?" The brunette said before disappearing behind the door, leaving a confused blonde
"Shit" Gabrielle hissed as she tried to dash off the bed, only to have her feet wrapped around the thin fabric of the sheet, tugging her back down to the bed
"OWW" the girl's voice echoed through the hallways as Ember walked
She chuckled to herself knowing that Gabrielle was probably going through the same painful clumsiness as she did this morning, the girl probably fell face first on the flat ground with the sheets falling all over her body. The thought only made Ember smile even wider she she shook her head, walking down the familiar hallway. She could only hope the girl was following behind her because she'd have a journey to find her
Luckily for her, footsteps trailed behind. Unusual ones, as if the person was hopping then collapsing on the ground again. Ember furrowed her brows and turned her head to face behind her while walking. Her chuckle left her throat when she noticed it was just Gabrielle trying to fit herself into a pair of shorts and a T shirt while following behind her, and yes, the blonde did fall onto the floor again trying to slide the pants up her thighs
Ember shook her head smiling as she made a turn into an open doorway. The house was empty as usual, she could only think that the house keeper was away doing laundry this early since the curtains for her room was already opened by someone this morning.
The brunette mentally cringed knowing that the maid she hadn't seen in ages must have seen her naked in her bed, even worse that Gabrielle was there. Hopefully she cleanses that room with soap, water and a priest
Within the entryway stood nothing but a blank hallway, the walls were worn down brown and there wasn't a single light source. It was hard to see at first but Ember's eyes were accustomed to it
"OW" Gabrielle's voice followed behind, Ember rolled her eyes knowing that the girl probably walked into the wall since the place was too dark to see
"Give me your hands" she whispered, reaching her hands out for the blonde to take
Gentle fingertips brushed over the sensitive skin of Ember's palm, sending a small static feeling through her muscles when Gabrielle intertwined their fingers. It didn't take long for the brunette's pupils to slowly widen, the girl furrowed at their hands together for a few seconds. Gabrielle's hands were as soft as her heart and as open as her soul, she could only say it was a pleasure to hold them within her own
Yet she was jealous of any man, woman, non binary or animal that had the grace to be touched by her. It brought back memories of lastnight, an unspoken experience that felt surreal. Trembling lips that were overwhelmed by its nerves being thrusted at and shocked with pleasure. Shaky breaths as a result of not being able to control their emotions, strokes of lust and desire that sent each other over the edge
It wasn't just a casual night, well at least not for Ember. She hated the fact that she lied but telling the truth could get her more hurt than she already was. What good would that bring her?
The smile on Ember's lips grew even wider when she noticed that the T shirt and shorts the blonde had on was her own clothes that was stored away in her closet from her younger teenage years. They fitted her so perfectly, wrapping around her curves and slim waist
The girl brought her free hand up to the ceiling, circling her finger around a hatch that was hidden away with the darkness. The hook was the pulled down and a stumbling sound came along with falling wood. Gabrielle shrieked at the sight of dust filling at her feet but rapidly blinked to see that it was just a ladder that came down. A ladder that would lead to the attic above which now had an opening
Ember soon took the steps leading up the ladder with Gabrielle's hands still in her own as she also led the girl up the to the attic
The attic was deep and tall, more expansive than she had imagined during her ladder climb. The attic was clear and clean, light cascades in from a vaulted ceiling, the beams meeting in a series of arches. Gabrielle's eyes landed on what she assumed was Ember's chair and a table that was painted so many times it became a rainbow of sorts, chaotic perhaps, but that was so Ember. It was her second escape place where she needed to be creative in, a blank page for the eyes and ears, so that what came to her was purely her creations, stories eager to be told on the furniture she painted on over and over again
Ember smiled upward at the attic beams, absorbing the beauty of the deep brown hues, it had been such a long time since she found herself in that space. A space where she was truly happy. Where there wasn't textbooks, labs or paperwork to go through until she bled dry from papercuts. But instead, it was a place for her fantasies to come through
But this time, it had the girl of her dreams standing there with her
