Room 324, Sunday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

After some time spent in the crazy pony-filled common room, Kate retreated back into her own quarters to hang out. Apart from putting her ring on, she hadn't gotten any further dressed than she had been for breakfast. The shorts and flannel shirt combo was comfortable, and considering there were ponies running around, people could just deal with her legs if they happened to wander on by.

Wasn't like the ponies were wearing any clothes. She was trying not to think about that.

And she was pretty successful in that endeavor. After all, most of her focus was going into looking at stuff on her laptop. Namely, trying to find out what people were paying for barely used Vespas, and looking at holiday destinations where you might find a place to hang a hammock.

No reason, really.

"I think you're really enjoying teasing me like this," he said, laughing and leaning into her hand. "You're just playing with my curiosity now."

[vanillajello]

"It's fun," Kate replied, as if that was an excellent reason all on its own. Her fingers slid into his hair. "And you like it. Don't you dare tell me you don't."

[therewaslife]

"I," he corrected, almost sighing at how nice that felt, "like you. That's what I like."

[vanillajello]

"Details," she scoffed, joking. "Would you like some more hints, or should I just refrain?"

[therewaslife]

"I don't mind either way," he murmured, sighing again. "If you'd like to give me hints, I'll listen. If you don't, I'll just...imagine hammocks."

[vanillajello]

"Hammocks," Kate agreed as her fingers played with strands of his hair. "And a place I want to have better memories of."

[therewaslife]

Bod was kind of sad to think there could be several places like that for her. Still, he wasn't going to let on about that. He just sighed again.

"So, is this place...not here on the island?" Bod asked after a moment of enjoyment.

[vanillajello]

"Not on this island," Kate replied, wording it that way on purpose. She leaned in a bit, to rub her nose up against his. "Elsewhere. Somewhere pretty and nice."

[therewaslife]

"There are a lot of places like that," Bod murmured, smiling at her. "Perhaps give me another hint?"

[vanillajello]

"Well..." She paused to consider the next hint, lips hovering close enough to his for him to feel her breath. "It's somewhere we've been, but we weren't together."

[therewaslife]

"Not together as in we didn't see each other or not together as in...not together?" Bod asked quietly, trying to lean forward to catch her lips in a kiss.

[vanillajello]

"Not together," Kate whispered, accepting the kiss, maybe even a little greedily. Blame it on the memories, something pent up and vaguely possessive. "I saw you."

[therewaslife]

Bod was pretty sure he knew what she was talking about now. He didn't want to say anything for the moment, leaning into snag another, longer kiss from her.

"You saw me?" he questioned, deciding just to make sure he knew what her secret was. "What was I doing?"

[vanillajello]

"Acting happy," Kate mumbled, nipping at his lower lip. She caught it a little more sharply a couple of times, but not sharp enough to hurt. "Enjoying yourself. And I fumed with my jealousy."

Yeah, she couldn't have been any more obvious about which place she was talking about.

[therewaslife]

"I wasn't happy," Bod assured her, leaning in to kiss her a little harder this time, a little roughly. "I wasn't enjoying myself. I was...going through the motions. Hawaii. You're talking about Hawaii."

[vanillajello]

"Hawaii," Kate breathed in agreement. She had no objections to the roughness of the kiss; in fact she was responding with a matched eagerness, and her fingers were curling into his hair, tugging on strands. "You looked happy."

Which wasn't an accusation, just a statement, even if it had been something that had made her feel worse.

[therewaslife]

"I was lonely," Bod explained, trying to back her against her desk while he kissed her in between words. "I was lonely and I wanted someone I couldn't have."

[vanillajello]

"Sounds familiar," Kate mumbled, without any hint of wryness or anything because something needed to give in this situation. She let herself be steered backwards until the backs of her thighs were pressed against the edge of the desk. "I was lonely. I was jealous."

And she was realizing now (fuzzily, distracted by everything) that she could barely remember thinking about Zach on the entire trip.

[therewaslife]

"I'm sorry," he apologized, encouraging her to actually hop up on her desk so he could get closer to her body and to her. He bit at her lower lip, licking the skin with his tongue and diving into another rough kiss. "I didn't know I was making you jealous."

[vanillajello]

"You were," Kate replied, breaking the kiss for those words and for hopping up onto the desk. It really wasn't long at all before she was pulling him close again, bare legs parted to leave him room to do that. "So fucking jealous."

[therewaslife]

"I was jealous too," Bod countered, stepping closer to her and pushing his hips into hers when he did. He wanted to be close to her right now so much. "Not in Hawaii but later. I was so jealous."

He stopped talking to kiss her again, dipping his fingers down inside the waistband of her shorts and sighing. "I thought you'd moved on and I hadn't and I was jealous and sad."

[vanillajello]

Kate made a strangled little noise when she felt his fingers on her skin. "I never moved on." She wrapped her legs around his hips, crossing them behind him. One of her hands was still at the back of his neck, the other near his shoulder, and she was still kissing him, roughly, in between words. "In Hawaii, I only thought about you. I never moved on."

[therewaslife]

"You were with someone else," he reminded her not maliciously but curiously. He wasn't really in tune with how some human emotions and behaviors worked.

There were other emotions that he knew about though. Lust and desire was a big one and if she was going to make those kinds of noises when he touched her, he was going to try and get her shorts down a little more because there was skin under there that he wanted right now.

He snagged another kiss, matching eagerness and roughness with her easily because he was turned on and wanted her badly.

[vanillajello]

"He was a rebound guy," Kate replied, breathless. "Pointless, useless." She reached for his shirt, started tugging it upwards. He wanted skin, she wanted skin too. "I was pretending as hard as I could." She caught his lips for yet another harsh kiss, bit down on his lip fo a moment. "But I wanted you."

She still wanted him. Badly.

[therewaslife]

Bod stopped pulling on her shorts to lift his arms so she could get his t-shirt up and off of him. That meant letting her go and not kissing her but he'd get back to that shortly.

"I was jealous of him," he breathed, reaching for another kiss. He hadn't wanted to be Zach but he'd wanted to be in Zach's position. His hands went back to her shorts, trying to pull them all the way off. "It should have been me there."
