Thread: A Lesson That Wasn't Planned (Javorcek x ClearSight)

When Alex seemed more calm Tessa's jumbled mind seemed to clear up a bit as well, and while she was still incredibly nervous it wasn't as desperate as before, she felt like she had time to speak without risk of Alex shoving her aside. She had never really expected the response she got though, she had been expecting Alex to push her out of the way and leave, not compliment her in such an honest and forward way. It caught her by such surprise, the flip-flopping of the situation, that a tiny blush touched her cheeks and she could only look at this beautiful woman in front of her and realize that she was in fact seeing her as more than some childish student. Proof of that was in how she shifted attitude, how she didn't run away like Tessa had come to expect from the so called adults. She faced her head on and spoke her mind, though as with Tessa's own actions she knew that some of it could be attributed to the alcohol's influence. That didn't change the truth though, which was pleasing to Tessa who smile at the woman in front of her, eyes softening a bit as she called down from the shouting and cussing from moments before. What really made her go silent was the kiss, something so unexpected she found herself wide eyed right before melting a bit. Nobody kissed Tessa like that. She never really had long relationships, she had always been more inclined to have a fiery fling than anything else, and while a slow and gentle kiss was not a first to her it was so unexpected for the situation it caught her by surprise. That did not diminish the effect though, and she had reciprocated without hesitation as the woman she had yearned for gave her a bit of what she had sought. When it was over she was silent for awhile, she let Alex speak and after yet another moment of silence, time spent looking into the gorgeous eyes of such a beautiful older woman, she spoke. Myself huh... You know a pain in the ass is kind of who I am don't you? She laughed but was being about as serious as she could be. Tessa had never been an easy person, she was sarcastic, impulsive, blunt, and more than a little ambitious. What she wanted she ensured she got, and while often she would act like the person she believed someone wanted her to be those traits never completely disappeared. Hell, she would most likely have fucked with Alex even if she hadn't been trying to manipulate her into coming to the apartment, it was just who she was and there was nothing to be done about that. A sigh escaped her lips soon enough though and she leaned back against the door, as if thinking about whether she was going to let Alex go or not. Then she smiled, it was halfhearted but the click of the lock was the next thing heard. Yeah... But Alex... She paused and then leaned forward again, body pressed up against her like it had been during their kiss, her voice dropping lower a her mouth went close to one of those perfect ears. I would really prefer if you didn't leave tonight... She pulled back, eyes locking with the older woman once again as she prepared to make her case, to try and convince her. I mean, I know you're drunk... I'm not exactly sober either, but I know I want this and it isn't something I decided tonight, I've wanted to be with you for some time now... She paused, moving a hand up towards Alex's face but stopping, remembering the expressions she had to previous touches. She paused again, another smile touching her face and she slid around Alex, going behind her but subtly having her turn as she did, making sure they were still looking at one another. I don't want to let this chance pass me by. So if you want to leave I won't try and stop you anymore... But, I would very much prefer if you took my hand and came back to my room. Genuine, it was a rare thing for her, but that was what she was trying, after seeing how Alex responded and knowing she could make it clear she actually wanted it, even if she knew all the risks and problems that came with it. So she extended her hand, a hopeful look in her eyes but an expression that left the choice up to Alex. The woman could leave, Tessa wouldn't give up even if it would become a much more difficult thing to do if she failed so brilliantly, but she would understand. She would understand if Alex didn't want to risk her job, but she wished for more, that Alex would see that there was little to fear, that Tessa lived alone, and that she knew the situation and that she wanted it.
