"Well, maybe I'll show you some time," Nita said, giving Lauren a quick kiss on the cheek. She scooted back on the bed so she could lean against the wall. One hand wove its way through Lauren's hair, the other stroking her fingers and tracing patterns on her palm.
She listened quietly as Lauren spoke, tears welling up in her own eyes at the girl's story. She held her hand tightly, rubbing her shoulder and arm gently. Biting her lip at the mention of Fire, Nita did in fact recognize the name. "Oh Lauren," she whispered, curling over her as if she could block out the rest of the world. "I had no idea..." Nita cradled Lauren, not knowing what to say, only able to hold on to her.

Lauren tried her best to shrug it off, "No reason to feel sorry for me, doesn't change what happened." Her mind wandered off, wondering how they were doing and who was dead by now or who was arrested by now. She knew she had it best out of all of them, and she was turning into an animal person.
She reached up to wipe off one of Nita's tears, then playing with her hair. "I'm happy now."

"Still," Nita said softly. "I'm sorry it all happened like that." She sighed. It seemed that Lauren was another person for whom the Island was a refuge, genetic engineering aside.
She blotted her eyes with the heel of her hand, smiling through the tears. Nita usually didn't like having people mess with her hair (or being too close to her in general), but she didn't mind Lauren doing it. "I'm happy, too," she said, a bit surprised. "At least, I am just this moment." Nita flushed again slightly, but from pleasure, not embarrassment.

It seemed like the two brought out sides of eachother that wasn't normal to see. Lauren liked it, even though she hoped they weren't too different to last. But right now she didn't really worry she was too content cuddling and smooching on Nita.
Lauren smiled at Nita's blushing, "You're so beautiful." She said to her, lifting up to kiss her again. "Did you have a girlfriend back home?" Lauren hoped she wasn't bringing up bad news. "And how did you find out that... you liked girls?" It was an inevitable question. Lauren had been very curious and wanted to know everything about Nita at this point in time. "I just wish I could peek into your brain so I could know everything about you!" It was a bit creepy but she said it sweet enough to hopefully not freak Nita out.

"You keep saying that!" Nita protested, although, of course, she returned the kiss. "No one's ever told me that. Except for my mom, I mean, but that doesn't count."
She shook her head. "No, no girlfriend. I kind of avoided that kind of thing. Too many of the girls I knew were 'bi to be cool,' and used it as a ploy to get guys." Nita rolled her eyes and shrugged. "And I guess I always knew, and I never had crushes on guys when everyone else did. I was never really interested." She shrugged again. Nita didn't mind Lauren's curiosity, even if it was expressed a bit strangely.

"Because it's true. But it's sad no one has ever told you that, I bet many thought it." She was happy from the kiss. She could lay here forever just kissing and cuddling although sometimes her thoughts went to less pure areas. She avoided pushing things though, Nita didn't seem like the type to rush into sexual situations and that was fine with Lauren. She could wait.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I kind of had crushes on girls as long as I can remember. But I did have crushes on guys for a while, just not as often." She was happy Nita wasn't the type to be bi and just trying this out.
It was getting late, Lauren yawned a bit. She didn't want to leave, but she also wasn't sure if she could sleep in the same bed with Nita without staying up all night wanting something. "So... you're a virgin?" She hadn't paid too much attention to when people were drinking during 'I never'. "Not that it's a bad thing if you are, I mean it's kind of nice, but it's nice if you aren't either." She was being defensive already, hopeing she wasn't digging herself into a hole.

"I usually got 'cute,'" Nita explained, making a face. "And you're awfully pretty yourself, even if you're way too tall for your own good." She grinned and planted a kiss on Lauren's black nose.
Nita wasn't the kind of person to rush into things, and actually this evening with Lauren was the most she'd done with anyone, other than a couple of tipsy make-out sessions with girls at parties. Mostly girls who thought that smooching an adorable redhead would make drunken frat-guys all jealous... and it worked.
"Hm?" Lauren's questioned seemed to come out of the blue, although really it did make sense to ask. "Yeah, I am. Like I said before, I really don't know what I'm doing here," she admitted. Nita wasn't ashamed of her virginity, but it had never come up so directly. "I guess I'm too much of a romantic," she said, laughing a little.

"But you are cute!" Lauren teased. It was the truth though. She smiled sheepishly as Nita kissed her black nose. It made smells more prominent, and Lauren liked the way Nita smelled. "Yeah, I'm waay too tall. I've been this way since I was twelve. Many people thought I was sixteen or eighteen then. I'd much rather be short."
She smiled at Nita, "Sounds nice, I may seem a bit harsh but I like romance." She made a point to get Nita flowers sometime soon. Lauren loved giving flowers. Something red maybe? "I'm... not a virgin. And I had willingly slept with only two people. Fire and Skull... and those circumstances weren't very romantic. Well sometimes with Fire. But I'm not experianced in healthy relationships." She sighed softly. "I'm sorry, I'm just so pathetic." Lauren wiggled into the bed some more, hideing her head under the pillow.

"As long as I'm cute and beautiful, it's okay," Nita giggled. "Wow, since you were twelve? I was always little. I hit 5ft in 8th grade.. and stayed there." She chuckled a bit, remembering. "My best friend at the time was 5'9 or so, and we looked pretty funny walking around together."
"And being short's not so great, either. I can never reach things," she complained.
Nita nodded slowly. "There's no shame in that. You did what you had to, under the circumstances. And I'm glad you had some good times, too." She hoped that Lauren really liked her, and wasn't just projecting her feelings for Fire onto Nita. Ah well. They seemed different enough, and the atmosphere certainly was. Hard to compare a clean duplex on a tropical island to a broken-down abandoned building.
"Hey now, you're not pathetic at all," Nita protested, pulling the pillow away. She lay down next to Lauren, clasping the pillow to her chest. She turned her head to watch the girl, blue eyes tinged with green.

Lauren did really like her, and while from a distance Nita looked like fire in many ways, close up she didn't look like her at all. And she definately didn't ACT like her. "Yes, I am." Lauren wallowed her head into Nita now instead, trying not to gore her with her horns. "Sorry, I've got baggage like you wouldn't believe." She hoped it would all go away someday.
She tried her best to push it back, not wanting to ruin any good time Nita was having.

"You're not, you're not," Nita repeated, wrapping her arms around Lauren, mindful of the horns. She rubbed her back, trying to be comforting. "Everyone's got their baggage; I know I do..."
Nita rather liked taking care of Lauren. Of course she didn't like knowing that a friend was in so much, but being able to help, even a little bit, was nice.

Lauren was starting to feel better, "Sorry, I have my momments." She sighed.
"You have baggage?" Lauren found this hard to believe. And awaited an answer. Oddly enough, Lauren liked to be taken care of.

Nita brushed a few strands of hair out of Lauren's face. "It's okay; I do too," she assured her, nodding slightly. She grabbed the pillow out from behind her and stuck it under her head.
"Oh, I've definitely got baggage. Clinical depression, mostly. My meds help." She shrugged and snuggled against Lauren, getting a bit sleepy.

Lauren looked at Nita sympathetically, her eyelids getting heavy. She kissed softly on the cheek, "You don't seem like you ever would have anything to be depressed about. But I'm glad something helps you." Lauren kissed Nita again, her arms around the girl and snuggled close. While she was definately aroused, sleepiness was overcoming that. "We can make eachother hap....py." She said in a yawn, finally sleep overcomming her as the girl konked out right then and there.

Nita smiled. "You'd be surprised. But that's a story for another day, I think." A yawn interrupted her and she was perfectly content to cuddle with Lauren. "I'd like that," Nita murmured, as Lauren fell asleep. She stroked Lauren's soft cheek and pulled the sheet up to cover them both.
She lay there for a while before getting up to put on her PJ pants and turn out the light. Climbing back into bed, she curled up with Lauren and finally drifted off to sleep.
