@☀ Paloma It's ultimately up to you. You should probably wait a hot second to see if the feelings you have now will subside or if they're just there because something just happened you know? We're all fast paced in this house but I think now would be a good time to slow it down.
/nods as I tap my head, before grimacing when you ask me about my current classes
I skipped. I just needed to recuperate after last night I guess.

@✤ Marina /letting out an airy laugh at your sentence, amused at how blunt you were about this whole thing/
You make a good point. It's just risky--do I try and see where this goes and be the good girl we know I'm not? Or do I do what I want and risk losing the progress I made?
/throwing my hands in the air as I didn't know what to do, wanting to pursue this new thing I had with Theo but also knowing how I was as a person/
True, true. I guess we'll see what happens. Anyways, have you been hiding here all morning? What happened to your classes?

@☀ Paloma A pickle indeed.
/cups my chin and gently caresses it pensively as we think out loud in preparation.
For sure, you want some and you should get some. This could be the test to see if you really want him or not. If he can't give that to you and you don't care to be abstinent then go forth and be thotticus maximus. You could also skirt around the thin line and try to hide the fact you're getting but if he does like you he'll figure it out and be all butthurt and --- well, we don't want that.
/rubs my hands together as we dissect this situation, seeing both the pros and the cons
I mean at the end of the day, college is for exploring and not being tied down. Surely, his resume has your lady on edge but is it really the time to get wifed? I don't know about that.

@✤ Marina /laughing at your comical expression, squirming around on your bed as I was unable to contain my excitement/
Sigh--you're right. Oh my god, Mar, I'm deaaaad.
Not even gonna lie...I've thought of that.
/a giddy dumbstruck look on my face before sitting up as you sat next to me, calming down slightly as you warned me not to get in over my head/
Next move? I don't even know. Obviously, I like the guy and he seems like he might reciprocate it but--is it worth the chase? You know I have that issue of being blindsided by men who are nice to me so I just don't want to invest time into him and then be made a fool.
/shrugging as I ran my hands down my face, letting out a small groan as I started overthinking, a bad habit that tended to haunt me/
Also not to be a but...I kinda want to get dicked down and it doesn't seem like he'd be breaking that rule anytime soon. So I'm in a little bit of a pickle.

@☀ Paloma /snatches the thermos on the nightstand that was a potion you had brewed to quell the occasional embers that would brew in my chest, a potion I had to keep around me a lot more often. But when you revealed the reason why you were so giddy I nearly spat out the potion, my hand whipping to cover my mouth as my eyes widen and then crease in happiness for you
Damn girl. You got your foot in the door now it's time to slip in.
/my eyes gently raked up and down your frame as I observe how on edge you seem to be in excitement, so I lay a hand down on your knee to calm you
Careful --- you're in now but you gotta play it cool. ain't over yet. Not until you under that big desk of his and call it a day. But seeing as though you're getting tutored now.....that should be easy.
/pats your knee before recoiling my arm to lay it down on my own lap
What's your next move?

@✤ Marina /letting out a loud bellow at your admittance, wiping tears from my eyes at how hard I had been laughing/
I'm deaaaad. You messy hoe.
/chuckling slightly at your response to my story, shrugging slightly as I pretended to be bashful for a second, but not being able to conceal my glee as I fell back against your mattress and kicked my legs up in the air/
He basically grabbed my ?? Unless I'm imagining things and I don't think I am...I'm pretty sure he feels the same way-well maybe not the same way as in I want to wife him, but I guess he thinks I'm cute?
/sitting up straight to look at you, rolling my eyes playfully at the amused look on your face at my actions. I know I was acting like a giddy schoolgirl because--well I was./
I don't know, I don't want to look too much into things.
Girl--he did the thing where he pulled me against his chest and leaned down to whisper in my ear and I nearly got wet. That british accent of his is *too* fine.
/fanning myself jokingly as I let out a deep sigh, reminiscent of a Disney princess. I hugged one of your pillows to my chet as I daydreamed and replayed the scenario in my head over and over/
We'll see--I guess he's tutoring me in DADA to help me get ready for my NEWTS? That should be interesting.

@☀ Paloma Takes a lot of practice -- and I'm about to admit something to you but you better not clown me for it later.
/pauses to see and laughs as you struggle to get up, waiting until you were heaving and out of breath to say
Sometimes when I'm really drunk I just morph into my other form and pass out in the forest. It's honestly a blessing seeing as though no students have found me yet --
/stops myself to see if I've heard you correctly, my head ducking in for a closer ear as you speak
Say what? So you basically have the bag? Girrrrrl don't fumble it now

@✤ Marina /huffing as I climbed up the ladder, struggling a bit due to my heels and the fact that it was well--a rope ladder/
The fact that you do this all the time--especially when you're drunk, worries me.
God I'm out of shape.
Well...no. But! Something did happen I guess?
/plopping myself down on your bed, unable to conceal my grin as I sat up quickly, ready to spill what had happened/
Ok so--I was in potions when he called me to his office...and at first I was kinda pissed because, hello, potions is my favorite and there was no point for him to call me into his office.
/fast forwarding to the point of my story as I saw the slightly bored expression on your face, my words rising to be shrill and rapid/
LongstoryshorthetouchedmybuttandbasicallyIlovehim.

@☀ Paloma Come up here, nothing can bite you here. Except me.
/kicks my feet in the air with hearty laughter, my fingers making sure to hold the ladder steady as you climb it, and as you do so I couldn't help but to notice your new demeanor.
Finally get some professor pipe?

@✤ Marina Yes--its me.
/calling out in a gleeful tone, my mood elevated from what had just happened, buzzing with anticipation of telling you about my morning/
Should I come up? Or do you wanna come down--hurry, you know the forest gives me the creeps...

/just waking up from a long nap, I slip under the bar of the treehouse canopy and dangled my legs above the ground, wiggling them with a yawn as I sit suspending high into the foliage. I hadn't done much today, attended maybe one class before coming back to the dorms, but it seems like another had a similar idea.
Palo? I can hear the spring in your step from a mile away.
/calls down from the canopy, my fingers loosening the rope ladder needed to climb it.
