Chemistry

Rated R for a Reason

            "Today we will end our show by saying we at Radio Free Roscoe have finally worked out our problems. The past few shows have had a few…technical…difficulties, but thankfully, we have them all worked out." Robbie, alter ego Question Mark, finished at the end of their show. It was about a week after the big blow out and "Truth Telling Session" and since then everyone had time to cool down. Travis and Ray were now on good terms, as was Travis and Lily, Travis and Audrey, Lily and Ray, and Lily, Ray, Travis and Robbie. The foursome smiled at each other as Travis flicked the switch and the blue light dimmed down. Ray was first to have his headphones off and to stand up.

            "Wish I could stick around, guys, but my Dad's taking us out to dinner." He said as he grabbed his bag. Lily looked up at him in confusion.

            "Your dads taking you guys out? What's the occasion?" She asked, smiling.

            "Yeah. It's a once in a lifetime experience. You better go." Robbie agreed, laughing.

            "Yeah, you guys are just so funny." Ray said sarcastically. "Though not as funny as me. Later" The remaining three waved as Travis came out of the tech booth. He kept his distance from Lily, though, and she noticed it. She also noticed how nice his shirt fit over his muscles and the little beads of sweat on her forehead but she tried to block that out.

            "Yeah…And I have to…do homework." Robbie said lamely, getting up from his chair. Travis looked sideways at him and Lily rolled her eyes.

            "C'mon Robbie, just admit it. We already know. You're going to meet Kim." Robbie stopped in the doorway and looked back.

            "There you go again, Nancy Drew." He replied as he ran up the stairs.

            "And then there were two." Travis said, leaning up against the wall. Lily turned back to look at him, running nervous fingers through her hair. Travis looked up at her, for once, but his eyes focused in on her oh-so-kissable lips and he had to look away.

            "So what are we going to do?" Lily asked him as she moved closer. Travis was confused.

            "Do? About what?"

            "About us." Lily said, trying to get him to understand.

            "What?" Travis asked. He moved away, getting as far as he could away from Lily. He knew that if she touched him…it would all be messed up once again.

            "Travis you can't deny this anymore!"  She insisted, exasperated.

            "Lily-" He cut in.

            "Like you said, it happened for a reason."

            "It's just-"

            "Audrey. You love her, I know." Lily said, still following him.

            "Yes. And that's why we can't do this anymore." Travis said, turning around. She had him cornered.

            "Once. Travis, we kissed once."

            "Yeah. I know." He said sarcastically. "It was just…" He trailed off, trying to explain the motive behind it. She knew what he was thinking.

            "It was chemistry. Undeniable…raw…sexual…chemistry." Lily said. Travis winced.           

            "Lily-" He began. He didn't want this to happen. He tried to fill his thoughts with Audrey but all he could see was Lily, standing there, with her tank top strap falling off her shoulder and her hair going in her face.

            "What? Come on, Travis. I know you have the same hormones down there," she let her eyes wander, "as Ray and Robbie do."

            "You've done this with Ray and Robbie?" Travis exclaimed angrily.

            "Of course not! What do you think I am? Some kind of slut?" She then continued in a more calm voice, "Robbie's my best friend. And Ray and I have real potential together. I like him. A lot." She looked out into the distance for a moment but moved back to Travis; uncomfortably close. He could feel her hot breath on his cheek.

            "Then why are you doing this?" He said in a whisper, not daring to move his head.

            "Because it has to be done." Lily continued. "I'm tired of all this tension. I know you want it, Travis…just think of it as a friend…" her voice got quieter as her lips moved closer to his "helping out…another friend." Their lips finally connected, at first with some hesitation but gradually becoming more and more intense. Travis pulled apart from Lily and stared at her deeply, breathing hard. He was obviously trying to hold back something…

            "We can't do this. I love Audrey."

            "I know. I'm not trying to hurt that." Lily explained as she caught his lips in another intense kiss.

            "Are you sure she'll never know?" Travis asked again, pulling apart.

            "Why would she? Like you said, she never did anything, so why cause her pain?" Lily told him. Travis finally took initiative and placed his hand on her hip. Lily stared down at his hand and then back at him.

            "Now are you sure?" She asked. He answered by pulling her into him. After another kiss, Travis felt as if he could loose it all right then. Kissing Lily never felt like kissing Audrey. Their kisses were so polite, so meaningful. This, with Lily, was just…strong, wanting, and powerful. Lily pressed her body up to his, their sweaty clothing sticking together. Lily moved from his mouth to his neck, leaving a trail of saliva and little love bites. Travis closed his eyes, wondering how he could want this so much if he loved Audrey. Finally overcome with hormones, he grabbed Lily by the shoulders and switched positions, putting her back against the wall. He put his hand on the bottom of her shirt and inched his hands up her stomach. She shivered. Travis lifting the tank top of her head, surprised to see that Lily was sporting a simple black bra. It was so refreshing compared to the frilly pink lace ones that Audrey continually teased him with. Lily stared back at Travis in desire as their lips met vigorously. Travis reached his hands behind his back and found the clasp to Lily's bra. He watched, almost in slow motion, as it fell to the ground. Lily took in a sharp breath, wondering what Travis was thinking. However, all was answered as he put his head between her breasts and slowly began to do amazing things with his tongue. Lily was breathing harder now and she knew it was only a matter of time before they found release in each other. She let Travis explore her chest for a while but stood him up and pulled the shirt over her head. She couldn't believe that Travis was more built than she imagined him. She pushed him against the wall of the tech booth and shoved her body against his, bare breasts and all. Their lips met again, shamelessly, as Travis fumbled with the snap and zipper of Lily's pants. They drifted to the ground and Lily gracefully stepped out of them, never breaking the forceful kiss they were sharing. Lily pulled down his zipper as Travis closed his eyes, his mind now cleared of Audrey.
