CHAPTER 2
"I Love you to," Sylia replied finally, after getting over the initial shock.
Priss smiled warmly as she embraced Sylia and kissed her again. Sylia relaxed into Priss's arms kissing back with vigour. She was thrilled that Priss felt the same, and that they were finally together, it seemed like it wasn't real, but it was, she smiled happily to herself.
------------------------------------
Nene reached for her bag to phone Mackey to tell him she was going to be a little late. "Damn it, I left my phone inside," she said, frantically rushing back inside to grab it.
//it must be up where I took my hard suit off// she remembered getting in to the elevator, and making her way upstairs to find her bag.
//humm… Well I don't see anyone, So I guess no one will mind if I'm here!// she let herself in to the room and tiptoed over to where her bag was. She froze, now aware that someone else was in the room, she was about to apologise for not knocking when she noticed who the two figures were. //what the hell? that's Sylia and Priss?// Nene blinked and looked again just to check she was seeing correctly. She watched for a second as the two kissed, then grabbed her bag and left the room quickly as not to be noticed.
//Oh my god!…I hope they didn't hear me…nah, hee hee, they were to busy// She giggled to herself now she was out of hearing distance from Priss and Sylia.
She would have never of though they liked each other in that way, she hadn't even known Priss liked girls in that way, Sylia maybe, but not Priss. She shrugged, normally she would have spent longer thinking about such a strange and gossip worthy situation, but she had a date with Mackey, so it quickly slipped her mind and rushed off to meet him.
A few minutes later
"Hi Makey," Nene greeted, as she made her way towards him, now very much out of breath from running around all the way from the Silky Doll.
"hi Nene… I'm glad you could make it," he smiled, pleased to see her.
"Yeah, for once I am actually thankful that the ADP showed up before us," She said, still trying to catch her breath.
"yeah …uh - by the way, you look great!" He commented shyly, Nene blushed a little, "Thanks Mackey…So are you gonna tell me where are we going yet?" she asked curiously, Mackey had wanted to surprise her and so had not yet told her where he was taking her.
He began to searching through his pocket for something. "I got us tickets to that concert you wanted to go to!" he held up a pair of tickets.
"Wow, you mean Britney Spears! No way! Really?" Makey nodded, pleased that Nene was so happy. "That's sooo cool!" not really thinking about it, she threw her arms around Mackey excitedly, "thank you so much Mackey." He hugged back nervously. The two, after realising what they were doing, pulled away from each other blushing, although they had been 'together' for a while, they very rarely hugged, so far all they had really done was hold hands. "shall we get going then?" Nene asked trying to steer away from that subject, Mackey smiled and nodded.
Later that evening, after the concert
"I can't believe the elevator's broken again!" complained Nene as she walked up the stairs, tentatively holding Mackey's hand. "Why do I have to live on the twelfth floor!" she whined, exhausted from the busy day and the long walk.
"Oh well," Mackey said quietly, "It gave us more time to be together." Nene started slightly at this and looked at him. Again she was reminded that they weren't just friends, she truly loved him. They finally stood outside of her apartment door, holding each others hands and gazing into each other's eyes.
"Thank you for walking me up to my apartment Mackey" Nene said softly, breaking the silence. She grudgingly released his hands and started to turn towards her door when Mackey grabbed her hands firmly again and pulled her back to face him. A determined look came into his eyes, as if he had been battling with himself over something and had finally worked up the courage to go through with it. He stepped closer towards Nene, who was suddenly aware that their faces were only inches apart. Then he tilted his head and closed the gap, tenderly pressing his lips against hers. Nene's eyes widened slightly in surprise, even though she thought it might have been coming, then pressed back into the kiss, returning it with gentle passion. They stood close for several moments, neither one of them wanting to separate. Mackey had gradually sided his arms up around Nene, cradling her as they kissed. When they finally broke off at the same time, he tightened his grip on her slightly and they hugged each other very closely. Nene put her head on his shoulder, once again not wanting to ever step back. She finally had to though, it was late and she had to work in the morning. Regretfully she stepped back, blushing slightly as she fully comprehended what had happened. They still stood very close, but Mackey had decided to look at the floor nervously. He wasn't sure at all about what would happen now. Nene's voice startled him as she almost whispered in a content tone, "Goodnight Mackey." She tilted his chin up with her finger and leant across in a brief, parting kiss. Then she turned slowly and walked into her apartment, closing the door quietly behind her. Mackey stood very still for a few moments, still slightly amazed at his own bravery and at the pleased reaction. Finally he sighed happily and turned to walk back down the twelve flights of stairs. He would have been willing to climb a hundred times as many stairs for that one minute outside Nene's doorway.
The Next day, At the Silky Doll
"hey -Mackey!" Nene who had stopped by on the way to work, waved at her boyfriend, who smiled and went over to greet her. Just then Priss walked out of the elevator to leave, she needed to get to a rehearsal although she would have loved to stay with Sylia longer.
"Hey Priss, what are you doing here?" Nene asked, barely trying to hide the fact that she knew something.
"err - I was just…talking to Sylia, how about you?" She replied awkwardly.
"I'm here to see my boyfriend, but I suppose your probably here for the same type of reasons, right?" Nene giggled. Priss looked at her surprised, how the hell did Nene know already? It wasn't as if she didn't want anyone to know, it was just that she knew that they would tease her loads, plus, knowing Nene; Linna, Mackey and the whole of the ADP probably already knew also.
"How do you know about that?" She asked, Nenes eyes lit up and she grinned,
"so its true, you two really are an item," she giggled, proud of herself for getting this priceless information out of Priss, "wow Priss has a girlfriend, who would have though?"
"Hello Priss, Nene," Sylia entered the room to open the shop, Nene smiled at Sylia unable to stop herself from immediately blurting out that she knew all. "You two make such a cute couple," she chirped, Sylia looked at her curiously, "although, Leon-poo will be kinnda disappointed when I tell him, your not in to guys," Nene told Priss, who shot her an annoyed look, she wished Nene would leave her alone and go bug someone else. Sylia giggled, draping her arms around Priss, clinging protectively and kissing her cheek…
"now, now Nene, I don't want you to make fun of her," Sylia told Nene teasingly who just continued to giggle, Priss blushed heavily. "I wonder what Linnas going to say," Nene looked thoughtful.
"wow I'm impressed you've actually managed to keep it to yourself for that long," Priss said sarcastically, Nene stuck her tongue out in reply. "well I've got to go now or I'll be late for work, I just stopped by to confirm my…I mean to say hi," she corrected herself just in time. "see ya around," she waved and hurried of to work.
"So, who's Leon?," Sylia asked once Nene had left.
"Oh, he's just some guy that Nene was trying to set me up with," Priss answered casually, "why? Are you jealous?" she teased.
"no, just curious," Sylia replied.
"I've gotta go now," Priss smiled and kissed Sylia quickly "I'll see you later, bye love,"
Sylia kissed back, "bye."
At the AD Police office
"Good morning Leon-poo," Leon winced at being called 'that' nickname again.
"Nene when are you going to stop calling me Leon-poo?" He shouted at her. Nene giggled,
"why? It suits you so well." Leon gave her a very un amused look.
"What do you want anyway?" he asked, eager to get rid of her as quickly as possible.
Nene grinned, "well…Its about Priss," she stopped, waiting for Leon to become more curious.
"oh? What about her?" he asked, trying his best to sound uninterested, but not really succeeding. Did Priss finally want to go on a date with him? He looked hopeful.
"well, I just thought you might like to know she has a girlfriend" Nene said casually, watching as Leon's face dropped, Nene patted his back, "its okay, don't worry Leon-poo. You'll find someone new; Hey! what about that secretary your always staring at? I think she likes you," Leon shot her an annoyed glance but he was to upset to get anymore mad at her, for the comment or for calling him Leon-poo.
//poor Leon,// Nene though to herself, //I guess the only way I could possibly make him feel better would be… to set him up with some one new! now who do I know that needs a boyfriend?// She thought to herself for a moment…"that's it! Linna!" She said a little to loudly, but before Leon could ask, she had skipped out of the room to put her plan into action. Leon sighed, not really wanting to know what she was up to or who this Linna person was.
------------------------------------
"Hi Linna," Nene waved excitedly into her phone screen.
"Hey Nene, what's up?" Linna answered cheerfully.
Nene grinned, "well…I was just wondering if you were free this Saturday?"
"Yeah, I should be, why?" she asked, becoming a little suspicious of the way Nene had said that.
"I was just wondering if you were interested in going on a double date with me and Mackey," she asked.
Linna sighed, "I think your forgetting something, I don't have a gi…uh- boyfriend to go with," she shook her head despairingly, yes she was right, Nene was up to something.
"Don't worry, Just leave it up to me, I know just the perfect guy for you," Nene said, not really listening very closely to what Linna was saying. Linna gave her a disapproving look,
"um, yeah, whatever you say Nene," she replied. Nene, failing to notice the sarcasm in her voice, decided that she had succeeded in finding Leon a date.
"Great! This is going to be so cool! - Oh and your still coming over tonight right?" she asked quickly,
"Yeah, I'll see you then, I've gotta get back to work now, bye," Linna hung up.
Nene smiled triumphantly. Now all she had to do was check if Leon-poo and Mackey were free on Saturday and ta-da, her work as the matchmaker would be done.
-------------------------------------
"What are you so depressed about?" Daily asked Leon, who had been sitting by the coffee machine since this morning when Nene had broken the news to him. Leon ignored Daily, he didn't want to talk about it, and he wasn't particularly in a mood for one of Daily's lectures about women either. "humm, I see, it's about a woman, isn't it?" Daily asked as though he could read Leon's thoughts, Leon groaned then nodded, "Now what have I told you about getting involved with women?"
"aw, screw you Wong," Leon mumbled, "I'm not in the mood!"
"I'm sure its not so bad that you cant tell your partner, eh?" he asked curiously, but Leon refused to answer or even look up at him, Daily shrugged, deciding there was no point in bothering Leon any more, "well then in that case I guess I'll just have to leave you and the coffee machine alone, see ya!" he waved and walked out the room passing Nene who had just skipped in to inform Leon of his plans for Saturday.
"Leon-poo, guess what, guess what!!!" she poked his shoulder to get his attention, Leon looked up at her, sighed, then looked back to the floor. "Leon…." she wined,
"OK! What?" he finally gave in,
She smiled excitedly, "I got you a date this Saturday, isn't that great?" she asked.
"WHAT?" he shouted loudly, causing her to jump,
"Calm down Leon-poo, it will be with me and Mackey to so you don't have to worry if you don't know her very well yet…She's called Linna, she's my best friend, she's really nice, I bet your gonna like her," She grinned. He shook his head despairingly, why did Nene always have to mess in his private life?
"Nene can you stop trying to set me up? you don't help at all, you just ruin things!" he practically yelled at her. Nenes expression changed from excessively happy to very hurt, she had just wanted to make him feel better, she had though he would be happy.
"I'm sorry Nene, I didn't mean it, I-I" Leon tried to apologise but it only seemed to make it worse, now she almost looked like she was going to cry, he sighed again, knowing he was going to seriously regret what he was about to say, "ok, ok I will go on this date, if it means that much to you."
Nenes face lit up, "you will? Really? Thank you so much Leon-poo!"
"But! on one condition, you have to stop calling me by that infantile nick name!" he looked at her questioningly, Nene nodded, "humm…I guess I can do that," So he would get something out of this after all. She smiled and began to tell him all about Linna.
At Nenes Apartment, later that evening
"I don't want to go on a date with Leon!"
"What do you mean you don't want to come? but Linna, you said…"
"I was being sarcastic! I don't want to go on a date with Leon!" she repeated herself, trying her best to sound patient, "plus he likes Priss doesn't he? Whatever happened to you trying to set them up?" she asked.
"oh yeah that! I forgot to tell you! Your never going to believe what happened!" Linna looked at Nene curiously waiting for her to continue. "Well, you know after that boomer thing yesterday?" Linna nodded, "well I left something in there, and I went back to get it, and I saw Priss and Sylia making out! Can you believe it?" Linna gasped, looking completely shocked "WHAT? Are you serious Nene?"
Nene nodded, "I know, I was just as surprised as you are! But I guess they're kind of cute together, don't you think?"
Linna shrugged "I suppose so, but I just never would have though they liked each other like that." She sighed, knowing she didn't have a chance with Priss anymore, maybe she should just try and get over it, maybe she should try and date other people? Nene looked at her confused, "Linna, is there something wrong?" she asked.
"No - no, I'm fine," She didn't think Nene would understand her feelings for Priss, and she didn't really want to tell her either.
"Oh guess what!" Nene just remembered her other important news, "I um, well," she stopped, maybe it was best to keep this to herself, Linna looked at her curiously, "go on," she urged. Nene blushed "its, um, really not that important, forget I said anything," why did she have to say that, Linna grinned, this had to be good if even Nene didn't want to say it. "Come on, you have to tell me," she begged.
Nene blushed again, //I suppose I can tell Linna// she though to herself. "well, you see, I um…yesterday - I -I… Kissed-Mackey-for-the-first-time," she said that last bit very quickly, Linna smiled trying her best to look happy for her friend, she was happy for her, but, in a way kind of jealous to, everyone else seemed to have someone, but she was the odd one out again. "um - Nene ? Do you think I will ever have some one, you know, like you have Mackey?" She asked shyly,
Nene smiled reassuringly, "of course you will…you've just gotta look around a bit, try dating new people…like Leon for instance."
//Not the Leon thing again! What is Nene, his personal matchmaker or something? But I guess I haven't really given him a chance, maybe she's right, maybe I should go, just to see if I like him? What have I got to lose?// She smiled, "Nene, I think your right!"
"So your coming?" Nene asked hopefully. Linna winked and nodded, "sure!"
At a women's fashion shop a couple days later
"well if you don't like the pink one, how about…." Sylia paused as she flicked through the dress rack, "….this?" she smiled enthusiastically as she held up a sleek black sleeveless dress, Priss groaned, "you want me to try on more?" She asked. She and Sylia had been clothes shopping all morning to try and find an appropriate dress for this place they were going to, and as much as Priss loved Sylia, clothes shopping was something she would rather not be doing, especially when it meant trying on that. "Please Priss," Sylia begged giving her a cute and innocent smile.
"humph, to damn cute," Priss murmured, that seemed to have be convincing enough, Sylia smiled triumphantly, taking Prisses hand and half dragging her to the changing rooms. Sylia waited outside for Priss, who soon came out dressed in the black dress and looking rather uncomfortable to say the least.
"Mmmm…sexy," Sylia licked her lips subtly, Priss blushed then smiled, "you like it?" she asked, Sylia nodded, "and it will be ok for the place we are going?" Sylia nodded again, Priss shrugged, "well I guess I have to get something, right?" she asked not about to admit that she actually liked the dress (or liked the fact that Sylia liked it). Sylia looked thoughtful "well in that case I guess I should do something in return for you," she smiled seductively, "tonight?" Priss raised an eyebrow, "uh - yeah?" she replied unsure.
The couple Proceeded to the check out to buy the dress along with various other items of clothing Sylia had picked out.
Later that evening in Sylias bedroom
Priss lay down next to Sylia resting her head against her. Sylia smiled warmly and wrapped her arms around her. "You look so cute like that," she said leaning over and kissing her forehead, Priss gave her a disapproving look, not to enthusiastic about being called 'cute'.
"Priss?," Sylia asked, stroking Priss's hair gently,
"yes?"
Sylia grinned "didn't I say I was going to do something for you, in return for you trying on that dress for me," she asked, Priss blushed lightly and nodded.
"I though so…I've been looking forward to this," she smiled mysteriously then Kissed Priss, who kissed back enthusiastically. Sylia pulled away slowly and began to kiss lightly along Priss's neck. She ran her hand along Priss's thigh, rubbing gently and continuing to kiss her, Priss tilted her head back and moaned softly her warm, soft touch. Sylia smiled, pleased with her reaction. She began to slowly undo the first few buttons of Priss's shirt, allowing it to slip of her shoulders to reveal the straps of her black silk bra, she kissed lower and lower as she went down, looking up every now and again to check Priss was enjoying it. She finished undoing the shirt and let it to drop down on to the bed, She smiled, "nice, very sexy," she said referring to Priss's choice in lingerie, "but I think I would like it better if…" she slid her arms behind Priss's back to un hook her bra, Priss blushed heavily, becoming more tense, Sylia stopped what she was doing, "are you okay?"she asked.
Priss pulled back from Sylia, "I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this," she turned away embarrassed. Sylia was slightly confused but smiled anyway, "It's ok, I understand, I'm sorry," she backed of a little. Priss shook her head, "its not you, its just, I've… had some bad experiences," she bit her lip and looked down as if she had done something wrong. Sylias expression changed to one of concern and curiosity, she moved closer to Priss again putting her arm on her back comfortingly, "its fine, you don't have to do anything you don't want to," she reassured her. She wanted to ask about Priss's 'bad experiences' but felt that now wasn't a good time. Sylia was beginning to understand Priss a little better, she knew how easily she could get emotionally hurt, how she was a very guarded person with lots of secrets, but that just made it more of a challenge, one which she was more than willing to take. She loved Priss and didn't want to rush her into things she wasn't ready for, plus, she knew she would find out what she wanted to know when Priss felt ready to tell her.
"Sylia?" Priss spoke nervously, "have you - uh- you know? Before?" Sylia giggled slightly, "yes I have, but, I think you knew that already, didn't you?" she asked, Priss nodded "sorry, I uh.." Sylia smiled "am I correct in thinking you have to?" she asked, seeing this as an invitation to pry. Priss looked uneasy, this was obviously a sensitive subject, "well, kind of…I mean I didn't really have a choice, if you know what I mean?"
"I Love you to," Sylia replied finally, after getting over the initial shock.
Priss smiled warmly as she embraced Sylia and kissed her again. Sylia relaxed into Priss's arms kissing back with vigour. She was thrilled that Priss felt the same, and that they were finally together, it seemed like it wasn't real, but it was, she smiled happily to herself.

"Don't worry, Just leave it up to me, I know just the perfect guy for you," Nene said, not really listening very closely to what Linna was saying. Linna gave her a disapproving look,
"um, yeah, whatever you say Nene," she replied. Nene, failing to notice the sarcasm in her voice, decided that she had succeeded in finding Leon a date.
"Great! This is going to be so cool! - Oh and your still coming over tonight right?" she asked quickly,
"Yeah, I'll see you then, I've gotta get back to work now, bye," Linna hung up.
Nene smiled triumphantly. Now all she had to do was check if Leon-poo and Mackey were free on Saturday and ta-da, her work as the matchmaker would be done.
-------------------------------------
"What are you so depressed about?" Daily asked Leon, who had been sitting by the coffee machine since this morning when Nene had broken the news to him. Leon ignored Daily, he didn't want to talk about it, and he wasn't particularly in a mood for one of Daily's lectures about women either. "humm, I see, it's about a woman, isn't it?" Daily asked as though he could read Leon's thoughts, Leon groaned then nodded, "Now what have I told you about getting involved with women?"
"aw, screw you Wong," Leon mumbled, "I'm not in the mood!"
"I'm sure its not so bad that you cant tell your partner, eh?" he asked curiously, but Leon refused to answer or even look up at him, Daily shrugged, deciding there was no point in bothering Leon any more, "well then in that case I guess I'll just have to leave you and the coffee machine alone, see ya!" he waved and walked out the room passing Nene who had just skipped in to inform Leon of his plans for Saturday.
"Leon-poo, guess what, guess what!!!" she poked his shoulder to get his attention, Leon looked up at her, sighed, then looked back to the floor. "Leon…." she wined,
"OK! What?" he finally gave in,
She smiled excitedly, "I got you a date this Saturday, isn't that great?" she asked.
"WHAT?" he shouted loudly, causing her to jump,
"Calm down Leon-poo, it will be with me and Mackey to so you don't have to worry if you don't know her very well yet…She's called Linna, she's my best friend, she's really nice, I bet your gonna like her," She grinned. He shook his head despairingly, why did Nene always have to mess in his private life?
"Nene can you stop trying to set me up? you don't help at all, you just ruin things!" he practically yelled at her. Nenes expression changed from excessively happy to very hurt, she had just wanted to make him feel better, she had though he would be happy.
"I'm sorry Nene, I didn't mean it, I-I" Leon tried to apologise but it only seemed to make it worse, now she almost looked like she was going to cry, he sighed again, knowing he was going to seriously regret what he was about to say, "ok, ok I will go on this date, if it means that much to you."
Nenes face lit up, "you will? Really? Thank you so much Leon-poo!"
"But! on one condition, you have to stop calling me by that infantile nick name!" he looked at her questioningly, Nene nodded, "humm…I guess I can do that," So he would get something out of this after all. She smiled and began to tell him all about Linna.
At Nenes Apartment, later that evening
"I don't want to go on a date with Leon!"
"What do you mean you don't want to come? but Linna, you said…"
"I was being sarcastic! I don't want to go on a date with Leon!" she repeated herself, trying her best to sound patient, "plus he likes Priss doesn't he? Whatever happened to you trying to set them up?" she asked.
"oh yeah that! I forgot to tell you! Your never going to believe what happened!" Linna looked at Nene curiously waiting for her to continue. "Well, you know after that boomer thing yesterday?" Linna nodded, "well I left something in there, and I went back to get it, and I saw Priss and Sylia making out! Can you believe it?" Linna gasped, looking completely shocked "WHAT? Are you serious Nene?"
Nene nodded, "I know, I was just as surprised as you are! But I guess they're kind of cute together, don't you think?"
Linna shrugged "I suppose so, but I just never would have though they liked each other like that." She sighed, knowing she didn't have a chance with Priss anymore, maybe she should just try and get over it, maybe she should try and date other people? Nene looked at her confused, "Linna, is there something wrong?" she asked.
"No - no, I'm fine," She didn't think Nene would understand her feelings for Priss, and she didn't really want to tell her either.
"Oh guess what!" Nene just remembered her other important news, "I um, well," she stopped, maybe it was best to keep this to herself, Linna looked at her curiously, "go on," she urged. Nene blushed "its, um, really not that important, forget I said anything," why did she have to say that, Linna grinned, this had to be good if even Nene didn't want to say it. "Come on, you have to tell me," she begged.
Nene blushed again, //I suppose I can tell Linna// she though to herself. "well, you see, I um…yesterday - I -I… Kissed-Mackey-for-the-first-time," she said that last bit very quickly, Linna smiled trying her best to look happy for her friend, she was happy for her, but, in a way kind of jealous to, everyone else seemed to have someone, but she was the odd one out again. "um - Nene ? Do you think I will ever have some one, you know, like you have Mackey?" She asked shyly,
Nene smiled reassuringly, "of course you will…you've just gotta look around a bit, try dating new people…like Leon for instance."
//Not the Leon thing again! What is Nene, his personal matchmaker or something? But I guess I haven't really given him a chance, maybe she's right, maybe I should go, just to see if I like him? What have I got to lose?// She smiled, "Nene, I think your right!"
"So your coming?" Nene asked hopefully. Linna winked and nodded, "sure!"
At a women's fashion shop a couple days later
"well if you don't like the pink one, how about…." Sylia paused as she flicked through the dress rack, "….this?" she smiled enthusiastically as she held up a sleek black sleeveless dress, Priss groaned, "you want me to try on more?" She asked. She and Sylia had been clothes shopping all morning to try and find an appropriate dress for this place they were going to, and as much as Priss loved Sylia, clothes shopping was something she would rather not be doing, especially when it meant trying on that. "Please Priss," Sylia begged giving her a cute and innocent smile.
"humph, to damn cute," Priss murmured, that seemed to have be convincing enough, Sylia smiled triumphantly, taking Prisses hand and half dragging her to the changing rooms. Sylia waited outside for Priss, who soon came out dressed in the black dress and looking rather uncomfortable to say the least.
"Mmmm…sexy," Sylia licked her lips subtly, Priss blushed then smiled, "you like it?" she asked, Sylia nodded, "and it will be ok for the place we are going?" Sylia nodded again, Priss shrugged, "well I guess I have to get something, right?" she asked not about to admit that she actually liked the dress (or liked the fact that Sylia liked it). Sylia looked thoughtful "well in that case I guess I should do something in return for you," she smiled seductively, "tonight?" Priss raised an eyebrow, "uh - yeah?" she replied unsure.
The couple Proceeded to the check out to buy the dress along with various other items of clothing Sylia had picked out.
Later that evening in Sylias bedroom
Priss lay down next to Sylia resting her head against her. Sylia smiled warmly and wrapped her arms around her. "You look so cute like that," she said leaning over and kissing her forehead, Priss gave her a disapproving look, not to enthusiastic about being called 'cute'.
"Priss?," Sylia asked, stroking Priss's hair gently,
"yes?"
Sylia grinned "didn't I say I was going to do something for you, in return for you trying on that dress for me," she asked, Priss blushed lightly and nodded.
"I though so…I've been looking forward to this," she smiled mysteriously then Kissed Priss, who kissed back enthusiastically. Sylia pulled away slowly and began to kiss lightly along Priss's neck. She ran her hand along Priss's thigh, rubbing gently and continuing to kiss her, Priss tilted her head back and moaned softly her warm, soft touch. Sylia smiled, pleased with her reaction. She began to slowly undo the first few buttons of Priss's shirt, allowing it to slip of her shoulders to reveal the straps of her black silk bra, she kissed lower and lower as she went down, looking up every now and again to check Priss was enjoying it. She finished undoing the shirt and let it to drop down on to the bed, She smiled, "nice, very sexy," she said referring to Priss's choice in lingerie, "but I think I would like it better if…" she slid her arms behind Priss's back to un hook her bra, Priss blushed heavily, becoming more tense, Sylia stopped what she was doing, "are you okay?"she asked.
Priss pulled back from Sylia, "I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this," she turned away embarrassed. Sylia was slightly confused but smiled anyway, "It's ok, I understand, I'm sorry," she backed of a little. Priss shook her head, "its not you, its just, I've… had some bad experiences," she bit her lip and looked down as if she had done something wrong. Sylias expression changed to one of concern and curiosity, she moved closer to Priss again putting her arm on her back comfortingly, "its fine, you don't have to do anything you don't want to," she reassured her. She wanted to ask about Priss's 'bad experiences' but felt that now wasn't a good time. Sylia was beginning to understand Priss a little better, she knew how easily she could get emotionally hurt, how she was a very guarded person with lots of secrets, but that just made it more of a challenge, one which she was more than willing to take. She loved Priss and didn't want to rush her into things she wasn't ready for, plus, she knew she would find out what she wanted to know when Priss felt ready to tell her.
"Sylia?" Priss spoke nervously, "have you - uh- you know? Before?" Sylia giggled slightly, "yes I have, but, I think you knew that already, didn't you?" she asked, Priss nodded "sorry, I uh.." Sylia smiled "am I correct in thinking you have to?" she asked, seeing this as an invitation to pry. Priss looked uneasy, this was obviously a sensitive subject, "well, kind of…I mean I didn't really have a choice, if you know what I mean?"
